Chapter 2039 is great
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready to go back to the village now?" Liu Jianguo asked Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao walking towards the bullock cart.
"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 that you will return to the village soon, and let me wait for you to go back together."
"Thank you Uncle Liu."
"There is nothing to thank, isn't it just sitting here and smoking a few cigarettes, and besides, you came to the county for the village's affairs. I should 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.
After more than half an hour, Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the village. After getting off the bullock cart, she didn't go home, 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.
"Yeah, have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"My house is about to have lunch, and I will deal with it at my house at noon."
"No, I have the leftover food from yesterday at home, and I can eat it when I go home. I came to find the captain for something. I don't know if the captain is at home."
"Here, you 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 and smoking a cigarette. Because the captain had his back 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 stick aside, and then asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "How is it? Have you ordered any food?"
"Yes, but not many."
"It's okay, as long as there is food."
"Three days later, at eight o'clock in the evening, someone will deliver food to the entrance of the village, and the captain remembers to ask someone to carry the food.
In addition, the price of grain is more expensive than that sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and it costs 20 cents a catty. "
The captain nodded after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then said: "Although 20 cents sounds expensive, but these grains don't require tickets, so it's more cost-effective than buying them from the supply and marketing cooperatives. It's really hard for you."
"It's good to be able to help."
"By the way, how much is the food in total? And who do I give the money for the food to?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Twelve hundred dollars."
"You ordered six thousand catties of grain?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
"Well, it just so happens that someone I know has it."
"Great, really great." The captain said happily.
At first, he thought that the food that Lu Xiaoxiao ordered was one or two thousand catties, but he never thought that Lu Xiaoxiao actually ordered six thousand catties, which was really beyond his expectation.
Seeing the excited look of the captain, Lu Xiaoxiao was a little speechless. Although six thousand catties of grain sounds like a lot, there are more than two hundred households in Tianshui Village, so each family can only get twenty-three catties of grain, which is enough for a family. The food shortage problem has not been alleviated at all.
But this is not her responsibility, she has done everything she can, and the rest is up to the captain and her superiors.
"Captain, I'm going home. Remember to take people to the entrance of the village at eight o'clock in the evening three days later."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao left the captain's house, she looked at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao who were walking towards her. She nodded to them and quickened her pace of leaving.
"Sister-in-law, do you think Lu Xiaoxiao came to the house to complain?" Zhao asked Zhang uneasily.
