After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Hearing that Shui Qing gave it to the old village chief first, the villagers all cast envious glances.

The old village head's family has the best conditions in the village, thanks to the fact that the man in the family often goes to Fucheng to do part-time work, and the woman is very capable. She keeps the house in order and also raises chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs for sale in Fucheng.

Usually, their family rarely prepares food such as chicken heads and rice. After all, when there is sufficient food, most of their time is spent raising chickens and ducks.

So yesterday the old village head's family only paid seven kilograms, which is not too small but not too much among all the people. But after one night and this morning, their family was able to come up with 23 kilograms of chicken head rice and still give Zhang a bald man. Wang Mazi and four others!

This shows that his whole family was stripping all night long.

Suddenly 23 pounds, plus yesterday's seven pounds, the old village chief became the one with the most weight in the village.

"Here, here are 75 kilograms of rice. Sister-in-law Guifen, take it." Shui Qing asked the man who was helping to weigh it before handing it to Wang Guifen with difficulty.

Wang Guifen responded with a sigh, wiped her hands vigorously on the clothes in front of her, and then reached out to take it.

75 pounds of rice, rice with white flowers, she swallowed her saliva when she thought of the thick layer of rice oil on top of the white rice porridge.

No, one pound of rice can almost buy two pounds of millet. Although millet is a little rougher, it is more filling.

The remaining rice is exchanged for money, which can be given to Brother Lin for repair...

The second largest family in the village is Aunt Zhang’s family.

Except for Zhang Xiaocao who followed to see what was going on, everyone else in their family was either salvaging or peeling, and they were the most diligent!

Now when I heard about the rice distribution, I took the sack and followed my daughter to Shuiqing's house.

I was filled with surprises and doubts all the way until I saw the white rice in front of my eyes, and my heart suddenly dropped.

This year, maybe I can have a good year.

"Come on, Aunt Zhang, your total is 27 kilograms, and the rice is 67 and a half kilograms. Pour it into your sack."

Aunt Zhang felt unreal as she watched the white rice being poured into rough sacks.

How many years had it been since she had seen or touched rice?

Put your rough palms into the rice, grab it and let go, never getting tired of it.

She murmured softly: "The rice smells so good."

Zhang Xiaocao responded from the side: "Mom, the rice is so beautiful! It looks much better than black noodles. Isn't it delicious?"

"Wait a minute, I'll cook it for you later." Aunt Zhang wanted to say that she would cook rice for dinner at night, but she held it back.

One pound of rice can be exchanged for three pounds of black flour, which when boiled into paste is enough for a family to eat for a day. If rice is cooked, even three pounds of rice may not be enough.

It’s not time for luxury yet, just wait.

The old village chief continued to hand out the food to the remaining people. This one weighed a few kilograms and that one weighed more than ten kilograms. After all, the number of people who weighed tens of kilograms was only a minority.

Shui Qing walked up to Aunt Zhang. She was grateful to Aunt Zhang for trusting her, and also grateful to Zhang Xiaocao for worrying about them reporting the news in advance.

Just as he was about to say thank you, he heard the conversation between the two and turned back. He packed two or three kilograms of rice in a cloth bag and handed it over quietly: "This is a thank you gift. Don't make it public, otherwise it will be bad for others to see it."

She didn't pack too much. If she packed too much, she would be afraid that Aunt Zhang wouldn't be willing to cook. She probably packed enough food for the whole family.

Aunt Zhang instinctively wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to say anything after hearing Shui Qing's words. After Shui Qing stuffed it into her arms, she whispered: "I, you have already given us a lot."

"You earned that through your labor. This is a thank you gift. It's different." Shui Qing made the distinction very clearly.

Aunt Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to say: Aren't they all the same? It's all given by you.

Shui Qing continued: "Auntie, I don't pretend to be much, it's probably enough for your meal. Let's go back and make some for the children at noon."

Zhang Xiaocao understood that Sister-in-law Shui Qing brought it here because her mother was reluctant to part with it and she wanted to eat it.

Her nose was sore, and for the first time in her life, she felt that helping others was worth it!

In the past, every time I helped my cousin Zhang Chunhua, I always failed.

She decided that no matter what happened in the future, she would help Sister-in-law Shui Qing!

Aunt Zhang understood instantly!

Tears rolled down big.

She choked and said, "Okay, I'll go home later and ask Xiaocao to return the bag."

The cloth bag is also a good thing and needs to be returned.

Shuiqing hummed, then thought of something and said, "By the way, have you been working all morning? There is a lot of rice today. You can peel it and send it over at noon. You can exchange it for rice and take it back."

It will be fresher if delivered earlier.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly and said in surprise: "Jinniu and I didn't rest all morning. We peeled off more than ten kilograms. They are still peeling it and will deliver it to us during lunch!"

Although the rice would not escape if left there, for some reason, she just wanted to replace it and put it at home.

The thought of having rice at home made her feel at ease.

The two of them thanked Shuiqing profusely and walked back carrying the rice - they had to get back to work quickly!

"Mommy, the old village chief's family was peeling them off all night last night. How about we peel them off at night?"

"Isn't it easy to catch fish at night?"

"It's okay. Let's catch more in the afternoon and peel them by moonlight at night."

"Okay, God bless, please don't rain."

"It won't rain for more than ten days."

"Isn't it more than a month in previous years?"

"Auntie, think about it. In previous years, everyone fished and peeled for one thing or another. Can every family fish the same way this year?

It will be gone in more than ten days at most. We have to hurry up. "

"Well, my daughter is right! But it's okay. These things are everywhere in the water. Later, I will ask your brother to go to other places to retrieve some, which means it will take more work."

.....

Shui Qing was very satisfied listening to everyone's discussion.

Being poor is not scary, but being poor and lazy is scary.

Even if there is an opportunity to make money in front of him, he is unwilling to work hard. He can only say that the mud cannot support the wall, and there is a reason why he lives a miserable life of hardship.

When Wang Mazi and Zhang Tuzi saw the others getting the rice, they were all very happy. They came forward with shy faces and reminded Fan Jin: "Young boy Fan, after much thought, we still believe you!"

We are all from the same village. If we don’t support who do you support? We, as elders, are happy to see you making money. "

The children of the two families kept nodding behind them and looked at Fan Jin expectantly.

Others in the village were shocked.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!

In less than an hour, their faces changed too quickly.

Fan Jin still smiled warmly, the sound was not loud but enough for everyone around to hear: "You two, I also want to take them all, but my classmate said that it doesn't take too much;

Now that you have withdrawn, I thought it was just right. If I accept yours now, wouldn't I be able to accept other people's? "

When other people heard this, they thought it was okay!

Immediately you scolded me with each word: "Zhang Baldy, Wang Mazi, do you still want to be shameless? The old village chief said it well, if you retreat, retreat, and don't make any more trouble later!"

"Not only did you make an agreement at the old village head's house, but you and the eldest girl from the Fan family also stopped talking harshly? Why do you want us guys to reminisce for you?"

After talking, the two of them blushed and turned pale.

Fan Jin looked gentle, but his words were not gentle at all: "Please forgive me, we only accept things from people we trust. From now on, it would be better for us to never cooperate."
