As soon as Xu Yin arrived home, she saw Grandpa Xu sitting on the threshold of his courtyard smoking a pipe.
"Grandpa, why don't you come in and sit down? The main room door is unlocked."
"Ahem, I'm sweating all over. Sit here to cool off." Mr. Xu stood up slowly and said.
Xu Yin helped him into the house and poured him a cup of tea.
"Grandpa, I have some tobacco leaves here. You can smoke them."
Seeing that the tobacco he smoked was of inferior quality, Xu Yin took some good tobacco leaves from the system warehouse and asked the old man to knead them and smoke them.
"Oh, this tobacco leaf smells good!" The old man squinted his eyes knowingly, raised his eyes to look at his granddaughter, opened his mouth, and finally did not ask where it came from, but only mentioned the reason why he came here today, "The grain I asked someone to buy is actually We have found a place, but there is no one to send it there at the moment, so we have to go and get it ourselves. I just went to your second uncle's house, but he... Well, he resisted, saying that he was tired and had no strength these days... …”
Xu Yin said before he finished speaking: "I'll go with you."
"..."
Old man Xu actually came to collect food with his younger son, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by his granddaughter.
"Yinyin, this hauling food is a physical job..."
Although I have long heard that this granddaughter is ridiculously strong, I still feel uneasy. This is a trip of more than ten miles to the county town to collect food.
Xu Yin comforted the old man: "It's okay, I'm strong. If you're looking for my father, you might as well look for me."
Xu Laosan, who just walked through the door: "..."
What happened to the knee that felt like it was hit by an arrow?
"Daughter, my father wants to discuss this with you: forget it in front of your own people. If there are outsiders present next time, save some face for your father, okay?"
Xu Yin pursed her lips and said happily: "Okay."
Early the next morning, Xu Yin came to the old house, pushed the cart and went to the county town with the old man to collect grain.
She put a futon she made on the trolley, with a meadow on the futon for the old man to sit on.
Old Man Xu: "..."
I never thought that in my lifetime, old man, I would still be able to enjoy the treatment of sitting in a car and being pushed to the county seat.
"Girl Yin, are you really not tired?" He was worried that his granddaughter was exhausted.
"You're not tired! You can just sit there peacefully. You can just lie down when you're tired."
"..."
You can't lie down. When you lie down, you always feel like a person who has stretched out his legs.
The place where the grain was pulled was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. When passing the pork stall at the side door of the supply and marketing cooperative, apprentice Xiao Zhu, who had helped last time, spotted her with sharp eyes and waved to her excitedly: "Hey! Comrade Xiao Xu! "
When Master Li saw her, he smiled and said hello: "Little comrade, don't you want to buy meat today?"
Xu Yinwei said: "I bought it because I wanted to..."
But she doesn’t have a ticket!
"...And I have something to do in a hurry."
"That's easy, I'll keep it for you." Master Li said, "How about a pound of pork belly? Just come back and get it! If you don't have a ticket, I'll lend you mine first!"
When Xu Yin heard that the master was willing to lend her meat tickets and could reserve them, she happily said: "Thank you!"
"It's easy to talk about."
Old man Xu saw that his granddaughter actually knew the meat seller from the supply and marketing cooperative. After being surprised, he was full of joy: "Now you can buy meat with confidence. If you want to be 30% thin and 70% fat, he will not give you 30% fat or 70% fat." Share the weight!"
Xu Yin laughed dumbly.
The place where black market grain was purchased was somewhat different from Xu Yin's imagination.
Whether you have heard of it or seen it, the black market seems to be a hidden alley. Anyone who goes to the black market to trade has to disguise himself for safety reasons, speak in a lowered voice like an underground party joint, and speak in a low voice. If there is any disturbance, you must be prepared to run away and retreat at any time.
Xu Yin didn't know if other transactions were conducted in the alley, but not the black market grain. It was actually in a private house not far from the grain station.
People who don’t have food stamps and are short of food can just come over and buy them with money.
However, if it is three times higher than the white market price, who will buy it as a last resort?
To put it bluntly, Old Man Xu was doing it for his younger son. The little food he and his wife had was enough.
If the third child and his wife were as diligent as now, would they receive less food every year? As long as the weather is good and you don't have extravagant expectations about eating well, there is still no problem in eating well.
Xu Yin knew that the old man was doing it for her family, so she wanted to pay for the food, but the old man stopped her.
"Before I go out, your grandma gave me money. This batch of food is for your family's emergency needs. If your parents can continue to be as diligent as they have been recently, they won't have to spend this unjust money."
Their grandfather and grandson were not the only ones who came to buy food, so Xu Yin did not argue with him.
After the old man paid the money, she put the rice bag on the cart, and then covered it with a straw mat, a backpack and other sundries.
The futon was placed in front of the rice bag for the old man to sit on.
"Is this your granddaughter? She is very strong!" The owner of the grain seller handed Old Man Xu a cheap cigarette, "Are you interested in working at the grain station? Of course, she can only be a temporary worker. I think she is no less strong than a strong man. , the job of carrying rice bags suits her well."
Old man Xu was a little confused: "Carrying a rice bag? She is from a girl's family..."
The other person laughed and said, "As long as you have enough strength, anyone can do it, regardless of gender."
Xu Yin heard it from the side and twitched her mouth. She was very strong, and the [Permanent Divine Power] provided a lot of convenience to her life.
But I have no intention of selling my labor to make money.
By relying purely on labor, when will we be able to complete the task of "households worth ten thousand yuan"? I will never be able to finish carrying a rice bag until the end of time.
Old man Xu didn't agree either.
Although he has been a worker in an agricultural machinery factory for half his life, his thoughts are still a bit feudal. He always feels that a girl's family should find a more civilized job. A well-educated person sits in an office, and an uneducated person is stuck in a matchbox or something. That is quite suitable. . Squeezing together with a bunch of middle-aged men to carry rice bags at a grain station... Just thinking about this image makes me feel inappropriate.
Both the grandfather and the grandson refused, and the host said nothing more.
There was no shortage of temporary workers at the grain station. He just mentioned it after seeing that Xu Yin could carry the rice bags as neatly as a strong man.
After buying the grain, Xu Yin was thinking about the strip of pork belly that Master Li left for her, and she happily pushed the cart straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She hadn't eaten meat for many days, and she was a little greedy, let alone the cheap parents.
In front of the meat stall, Master Li is preparing to close the stall.
Xiao Zhu scrubbed the countertops and chopping boards.
At this time, two people, a man and a woman, came.
The woman is Xu Yin's cousin Xu Yuanyuan.
She had a day off and went out on the street with her blind date.
This is the first time the two of them have been on the street since their blind date, and they ended up here unknowingly.
Seeing the meat stall, Xu Yuanyuan thought that her family had not eaten meat for a long time, so she wanted to buy some and make dumplings for lunch.
"Master, give me a pound of meat."
Master Li raised his head and glanced at her: "It's sold out today! Come early tomorrow."
"Isn't there another one?" Xu Yuanyuan pointed to the only remaining piece of pork belly that looked good, "It's almost a pound, right? I want it."
"This is not for sale."
"Why not sell it?"
At this time, Xiao Zhu saw Xu Yin pushing a cart and shouted to her from a distance: "Hurry up! You won't be able to save your meat!"
