Very good

"Xiaoxiao, are you ready to go back to the village now?" Liu Jianguo asked Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao walking towards the oxcart.

"Yes, Uncle Liu, didn't you go back with the food delivery team? Why are you here?"

"The captain asked me to wait for you here. He said you would return to the village soon, so he asked me to go back with you."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

"There's nothing to thank you for. It's just a matter of sitting here and smoking a few cigarettes. Besides, you came to the county for the sake of the village. It's right for me to take you back to the village."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything after hearing Liu Jianguo's words. She smiled and sat on the bullock cart.

Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the village more than half an hour later. She did not go home after getting off the oxcart, but walked towards the captain's house.

"Auntie, you are feeding the pigs." When Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the captain's house, she saw Aunt Caihua feeding the pigs, so she said to Aunt Caihua.

"Yes, have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"It's time for lunch at my house. I'll deal with it at my house at noon."

"No, I have leftover food at home from yesterday. You can warm it up and eat it when you go home. I came here to see the captain for something. I don't know if the captain is at home."

"Here he is, go directly to the main room to find him."

"good."

When Lu Xiaoxiao entered the main room, she saw the captain sitting on the kang smoking. Because the captain's back was turned to her, the captain did not see her enter the main room.

"Captain, I'm back." Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the kang and said to the captain.

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain immediately put the cigarette pole aside, and then asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "How is it? Have you ordered any food?"

"Yes, but not many."

"It's okay, as long as you have food."

"Three days later at eight o'clock in the evening, someone will deliver food to the entrance of the village. The captain remembers to have people move the food.

In addition, the price of grain is more expensive than that sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, costing 20 cents per pound. "

The captain nodded after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then said: "Although two cents sounds expensive, these grains are free of charge, so it is more cost-effective than buying them from the supply and marketing cooperative. Thank you for your hard work."

"It would be nice if I could help."

"By the way, how much does the food cost in total? And who should I give the food money to?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Twelve hundred dollars."

"You ordered six thousand kilograms of grain?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao in disbelief.

"Well, someone I know happens to have it."

"That's great, that's great." The captain said happily.

Originally, he thought that Lu Xiaoxiao ordered one or two thousand catties of grain, but he never expected that Lu Xiaoxiao actually ordered six thousand catties, which was really beyond his expectation.

Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless when she saw the captain's excitement. Although six thousand kilograms of grain sounded like a lot, there were more than two hundred households in Tianshui Village, so each family could only receive twenty-three kilograms of grain, which was enough for one person. Eating the seeds for a week did not alleviate the problem of food shortage at all.

But this is not her business. She has done everything she can. The rest depends on the captain and the superiors.

"Captain, I'm going home. Remember to take someone to the entrance of the village at eight o'clock in the evening in three days."

"good."

After Lu Xiaoxiao left the captain's house, she looked at Zhang and Zhao coming towards her. She nodded to them and quickened her pace to leave.

"Sister-in-law, do you think Lu Xiaoxiao came to the house to complain?" Ms. Zhao asked uneasily to Ms. Zhang.
