Chapter 0251 Life is too good
This year, food is the mainstay.
Meat, you have to lose a point.
is the king.
Seeing Li Xingxing take out a knife of pork belly from the basket, the eyes of Grandpa Thirteen and Li Dazhu almost fell out.
"Can one person buy so much meat?" Li Dazhu often went to the commune to the county seat. He knew more about the world than the commune members of Dalizi Village. The eggs purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative of Huaihua Commune were not sold at all.
The reason is very simple, all supply cadres, families and senior intellectuals.
The piece of meat that Li Xingxing took was very fat. Everyone knew that it was good meat, the best kind.
Li Xingxing winked at him, "Uncle, see through and don't tell!"
Li Dazhu was shocked: "Is it really bought in the black market?"
"Do you know about the black market?" Li Xingxing was very curious about this.
She always thought that his uncle was the kind of person who was extraordinarily well-behaved!
Li Dazhu laughed, "I am the captain, how do I not know the existence of the black market? It is the underground economy! I have also seen underground factories and underground transportation with my own eyes! Our Dalizi Village is rich in sweet potatoes. It swells, but it makes people hungry! There are often urban residents lingering around our village, spending some money to buy dozens of catties of sweet potatoes to tide over the difficulties, and those who run underground factories buy them back to make vermicelli, and people who are short of money are willing to sell them secretly. Give it to them. Others pick up some melons, vegetables and sweet potatoes and find them in the black market to exchange for tickets. Even if they sell for money, the price is a little higher than what the supply and marketing cooperatives offer. "
Black market, most locations outside the city.
Driven by interests, there are always people who plunge into the black market one after another.
People die for wealth and birds die for food. It is a well-known saying that has not changed through the ages.
How did the meat and egg refined grains in the black market come from? Some are sold by the countrymen themselves, some are bought by the black market managers at high prices in the countryside, and then sold at a higher price, and they also receive gold bullion and silver old items, and some are desperados secretly engaged in farming in the deep mountains and old forests , planted, and then sold at a high price after harvest, everyone for a cent.
In short, the black market is very complicated, and it has its own set of mature operation methods, which the state has repeatedly banned.
Now that the food supply is difficult, it is even more rampant.
Recently, despite the fact that the famine is still spreading, some commune members secretly sell dried sweet potatoes. A few cents a pound of dried sweet potatoes in the grain store can be sold for one or two yuan in the black market, and they have made a huge windfall.
Cuihua said that it was a big loss.
A basket of sweet potatoes can sell for dozens of yuan, enough to marry two daughters-in-law, but she only gets one daughter-in-law in exchange, and her family is a burden.
Therefore, the eyes are not the eyes, and the nose is not the nose.
Li Xingxing wiped a sweat after listening to Li Dazhu explain what he knew about the black market situation.
She is a member of the high-priced sale of grain and meat!
Does it count as aiding Zhou?
However, to be honest, those who buy high-priced refined grain meat and eggs on the black market are generally the rich, while the poor will only buy coarse grains as much as possible, or exchange fine grains for coarse grains, in large quantities to ensure their fullness.
Touching his nose, Li Xingxing hurriedly said, "Mother, cut two catties to make braised pork, and take the rest to grandma and grandpa."
Good stuff to share with everyone!
Everyone is short of oil and water, and braised pork should be everyone's yearning.
When she couldn't eat meat at Lao Li's house, she missed the oily and greasy braised pork.
Grandpa Thirteen said in surprise: "Make two catties of braised pork? No, no, New Year's Eve is not so extravagant."
"Where is the luxury?" Li Xingxing puffed out his cheeks.
Afraid of scaring Grandpa and Uncle Thirteen, she didn't dare to take out cooked food such as pork head and sauce beef, but only took out a roast chicken after the pork belly, "I bought it at a roast chicken store, and my mother cut it out and placed it. plate."
With two hard vegetables as the base, what Li Xiuhong cooks is vegetarian.
A fried loofah, a fried vegetables.
The oily look made Grandpa Thirteen and Li Dazhu inhale and inhale again, but they didn't catch their saliva in the end.
Are you having a great time?
Chapter 0252 The reason for the fall of the Xia family
Li Xingxing often makes deals with others, and naturally he will not forget his own home.
From time to time, she smuggled some grain, oil, meat, eggs, and various supplies to her home. Over time, the number was quite large. The confident Li Xiuhong refused to wrong herself and her daughter. Rice, noodles, oil, salt, and meat and eggs were all open for use.
To fry a plate of vegetarian dishes, she used a tablespoon of peanut oil!
Before putting it away, I didn't dare to think about it, let alone say it was done.
There was no time to steam the steamed buns, so she steamed a pot of rice.
The white flowers and fragrant rice were served, and Grandpa Thirteen and Li Dazhu stayed again.
The rice noodles that Li Xingxing and Li Xiuhong brought home. When their mother was not at home, Mrs. Li was reluctant to make white rice and steamed buns. At most, they were two rice, sweet potato dry rice soup, and two-faced pancake rolls. Occasionally, there was a little meat in the dishes. .
That way, it's already a very good meal.
Li Xingxing first gave a bowl of spiky rice to Grandpa Thirteen, and then handed another bowl to Li Dazhu.
Li Xiuhong greeted them warmly: "Uncle Thirteen, eldest brother, eat, you're welcome, there is still rice in the pot. It's hot and I can't hold the food. Xingxing's mouth is very picky, and he doesn't like to eat leftovers."
Grandpa Thirteen said in shock, "Don't eat such a good dish leftover?"
Li Xiuhong nodded, "She doesn't eat."
Grandpa Thirteen's eyes on Li Xingxing changed instantly, "Too spoiled, who can afford it?"
Li Xingxing giggled: "Little Brother Xia!"
She held out her chest and said proudly: "Xia Ge is very kind to me, he will eat the food I can't finish, so there will be no leftovers! He can eat very well, it will take two days for him to eat me in one meal. A meal to finish."
So, leftovers or something, don't exist!
Grandpa Thirteen heard the words and said, "It's a good idea."
"Of course, I'm so smart!" Li Xingxing handed him chopsticks. "Grandpa Thirteen, please try the braised pork that my mother made. It's a little worse than Brother Xia's. I'll let Brother Xia cook it for you next time."
Grandpa Thirteen took a piece of red and trembling braised pork, sipped it lightly, and it melted in the mouth, "It's delicious!"
The fragrance almost swallowed my tongue.
In the eyes of the grand-niece's granddaughter, it is not as good as what Xia Xingxing did? How delicious is the latter?
can not imagine.
Li Dazhu is no longer polite to his sister and niece.
I don't have time to talk.
Eat first.
Li Xingxing had a small appetite, and Li Xiuhong was not so hungry. The mother and daughter each ate three or five pieces of braised pork, plus half a bowl of rice and some stir-fried loofah and stir-fried vegetables, and they were 70 to 80 percent full.
"My mother and I are full, Grandpa Thirteen, Uncle eat slowly."
Hearing this, the two of them looked up and looked at them, and then it was like the wind was rolling in the clouds. One person killed two bowls of rice, and they ate all four dishes. They slowed down, and secretly loosened their trouser belts and continued to eat. Eat until the liquidation.
When Grandpa Thirteen was mixing rice with the broth of braised pork, he suddenly said, "I've found out about the Xia family."
Li Xiuhong snorted: "What's the situation?"
Li Xingxing's eyes were bright and bright, "I'll listen too, Grandpa Thirteen, please tell me!"
"The Xia family was defeated earlier than a dozen years ago. Twenty years ago, it was not as good as before, because Xia Mingxing's father was a sick seedling, and many rare medicinal herbs and supplements were filled into his stomach. With such a person as him, coupled with the poor management during the war and turmoil, he began to sell houses and land a few years before liberation, and the remaining ones were very limited and were classified as poor peasants."
Many wealthy families went downhill because of smoking and gambling.
Chapter 0253 Indecent Occupation
Hearing what Grandpa Thirteen said, Li Xiuhong frowned.
"Xia Xingxing's father is not in good health? Is it serious?" she asked.
Grandpa Thirteen said seriously: "I said that he is not in good health, and he will still live well until his sixties this year, but he can't work, and he is rich and sick, so he needs to be carefully raised. The sister-in-law asked carefully and said that he was a premature baby, only two years old. In his early days, he fell ill every once in a while, so he married a strong and able-bodied wife who had a bunch of brothers and nephews, and the three Xia Mingxing brothers seemed to be enough for their mother."
Li Xiuhong was relieved.
She said that Xia Mingxing did not look weak.
Then asked about the family situation in detail, focusing on the behavior of Aunt Xia.
The concept of male masters outside and female masters has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether a new daughter-in-law can quickly integrate into her husband's family mainly depends on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Li Xiuhong didn't want her daughter to deal with some shitty housework after she got married.
"It's a long story." Grandpa Thirteen said.
Li Xingxing's ears perked up, listening to her thirteen grandfather's rambles.
What Xia's father worked as an accountant in the Grain Management Office and did not retire.
What Aunt Xia is a good and refreshing person.
What is Xia's sister-in-law, Lin Lan, who is relatively ordinary, an ordinary woman, with a junior high school education, and raising children at home. Her parents' family is a little more complicated, but it does not affect any decisions of the Xia family.
The three brothers of the Xia family have a good relationship. The eldest joined the army and graduated from the most famous military academy in Shanghai. His wife and children did not follow the army at home. The second was a teacher in Songhua County No. 1 Middle School. The object of work, the third child is a graduate of St. John's University and is currently working as a chef. Among the three brothers, his occupation is not decent.
Although the chef is fat and poor, but in the eyes of scholars, it is not decent.
Li Xingxing pouted: "There is no distinction in the profession. Why is Xiao Xia not a decent cook? I think it's very good. He will make me a lot of delicious food. Can ordinary people make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Lion's Head?"
Brother Xia can cook, she has the ingredients, they are a natural couple.
Grandpa Thirteen hurriedly said, "Cooking is a first-class job these days. Your grandmother said that you are greedy, so it's just right to find someone like this. Anyway, we don't plan for their future."
That's about it.
Li Xingxing hummed lightly.
She is the craftsmanship and appearance of Xia Xia star!
She is rich, can afford to support her family, and is very willing to let her boyfriend serve her alone!
Unfortunately, it's not realistic.
Grandpa Thirteen finished the last grain of rice and carried out the liquidation exercise thoroughly, "Xiuhong, you have to go to work in the afternoon, we won't disturb you two, it's time to go back."
Li Xingxing immediately said, "What's the hurry? I'll pack some things for you and uncle to bring back."
Li Dazhu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, although our family can't eat refined grains, it's better than other places, and we can have a bumper harvest in autumn and winter, so we can't be hungry. Last year, I was very hungry, but this year's members are working hard, and the corn is growing very well. , I estimate that after the autumn harvest, the public grain has been handed in, and every household can get 100 catties of corn."
"That's a few months later." Li Xiuhong said.
She knows more about the family than Li Xingxing. Dalizi Village doesn't grow wheat, and she doesn't grow up every year.
This year's drought is like this, and wild vegetables are not necessarily all over the mountains and fields.
Li Xingxing thought for a while, "Mother, you just go to work, let Grandpa Thirteen and Uncle have dinner before leaving, I will ask someone to get some food, transport it directly from outside the city, and take it back to my grandma and grandpa with two bags. The next one will share a share with the eight uncles."
Li Xiuhong heard the words: "Get more coarse grains, and fine grains will be avoided."
"No problem." Li Xingxing had planned to do so.
Smart, right?
Chapter 0254 Heartache
Very busy in the afternoon.
Before going to work, Li Xiuhong arranged for her eldest brother and Uncle Thirteen to mix noodles, wash vegetables, and chop meat stuffing at home. She said that she would come back in the evening to steam buns and steamed buns for them to bring back to their families to fight toothbrushes.
Bringing the meat back, her mother must be reluctant to eat it.
Maybe, marinated bacon is reserved for busy farming or Chinese New Year.
That can't be done!
My mother and I couldn't finish the dishes sent by my mother's family, and they were not suitable for drying, so they simply used it to make steamed buns.
Li Xingxing soaked some fungus, shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli, dried shrimps, dried bamboo shoots, and dried plums. He took out a pocket of eggs from the basket and cut two bundles of leeks. "I wrapped some leeks and eggs, and added some dried shrimps. It tasted so fresh. !"
She didn't want to work, and then said, "I'll find someone to get food."
Put on a big straw hat, ride a bicycle, and go for a walk in the sun.
Gotta find a place to pick up food.
The broken bridge hole in the first transaction with Pharaoh and the others is not bad, and can be used for the second time.
OK, Li Xingxing went to investigate, turned back to the city, and passed by the door of Mrs. Liu's house again. Seeing that she was chatting with Mrs. Ma, he stopped to say hello.
Aunt Ma slapped her thigh: "Hey, great man!"
Li Xingxing was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Aunt Ma supported her handlebars, "We all know about your donation of US dollars to No. 1 Middle School!"
Li Xingxing frowned: "How do you know?"
"One story, ten stories, one hundred stories!" Aunt Ma's youngest son was in high school, and he was quick-talking. When the whole family heard about it, everyone knew about it, and the whole street was bombed.
Ten thousand dollars! More than 20,000 RMB.
He was as sparse and generous as the original owner of the Li House.
"You really look like your grandfather!" Aunt Ma's eyes were full of envy, she had seen Li Zhengrong from a distance when she was a child, and he was majestic on all sides, but unfortunately he lost his son in middle age and withered behind him. I feel heartache."
Li Xingxing likes to be told that she looks like a grandfather.
However, Aunt Ma reminded her.
Originally, I told Li Xiuhong to donate 10,000 US dollars to buy a tractor for Dalizi Village, just for Li Dazhu to bring it back.
She was too busy to forget.
Arriving home in a hurry, Li Xingxing explained the situation to Li Dazhu.
With a click, the fungus that Li Dazhu was scrubbing fell into the basin.
The knife that Grandpa Thirteen used to chop the minced meat stopped.
"Xingxing, what did you say? Repeat it again." Li Dazhu's ear was probably broken, and he was very deaf. He actually heard that his niece wanted to donate ten thousand dollars to Dalizi Village in exchange for overseas exchange certificates to buy a tractor.
Li Xingxing said seriously: "I want to donate money! US dollars!"
Li Dazhu stammered: "Does your mother know? Where did you get the dollars?"
"I know." Li Xingxing said with a small mouth that he owns the copyright fee of the work, but did not say the specific amount, "I have donated 10,000 to the school, of course, don't forget the big plum village."
where the roots are.
It is troublesome to hold dollars in hand.
People in Wutong Street know that they donate money, and someone must go back to the source to find out the origin of the money. If they know that she still has 59,000 yuan in her hand, they will definitely have their own ideas.
must be resolved as soon as possible.
Li Dazhu has experienced world events, how fast his brain turns!
The money was too hot, so she donated it.
He immediately said, "I can't take the money back alone. After a while, I'll bring the accountant, the seal and the captains of the production teams to receive it in person, and donate in an open and honest way. You have to make an open and honest donation for the rest of the money. Deal with it, so as not to be missed. Have you figured out how to deal with it? Tens of thousands of dollars, it hurts!"
Although it doesn't belong to him, it belongs to his niece, and the heartache is so painful that it's hard to breathe.
Chapter 0255 Ginger is old and spicy
The moment Aunt Ma spoke, Li Xingxing quickly made up her mind.
Since you can't keep it, of course donate it to the biggest one!
She is very attentive.
Donate it, no one will care about it anymore, and even give her three points.
Anyway, she's got a number on it.
After listening to his niece's plan, Li Dazhu kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, donate to the country, no one can make a mistake! No matter how envious or jealous others are, they can't show the slightest bit, and those relatives in the family have no reason to come to your mother. The two beat the autumn wind."
Donate it all, no money!
The rest of Li Xiuhong's monthly salary, their mothers still have to live.
Who cares about it?
Who cares, who is inhuman, spittle Xingzi can drown them.
"Uncle, keep busy, I'll make a call."
Li Xingxing finds Grandpa Zhu's house.
Grandpa Zhu is not at home, there is only a nanny at home.
This is not an ordinary nanny. She is the widow of a martyr. She is diligent and knowledgeable. She has worked in Zhu's family for several years.
Li Xingxing came to borrow the phone, of course she would not disagree.
I believe that Grandpa Zhu will not object.
Li Xingxing called Comrade Chen's office and said straight to the point: "Comrade Chen, does it affect your work? I want to donate a sum of money to support national construction."
Comrade Chen was very puzzled: "What kind of donation?"
Li Xingxing explained the ins and outs of the matter carefully, "I can't spend it, it's a waste to keep it in my hands, donate 10,000 yuan to the school to help poor teachers and students, donate 10,000 yuan to my hometown to buy a tractor, and I want to donate the remaining 49,000 yuan to Country, send someone to receive it! Come early, I am about to take the college entrance examination, I have to review my homework, and I am very busy every day."
Comrade Chen was stunned: "Forty-nine thousand dollars?"
The ability to make money is not ordinary!
"Yes, the remaining 49,000 yuan, I didn't spend a cent." Li Xingxing proudly said, "Isn't it a great idea to earn foreigners' money to support the construction of our country?"
"Excellent!" Comrade Chen muttered.
It's hard for her to think about the country at a young age.
The batch of scientific research materials she brought out was very detailed. Scientists have developed many advanced equipment based on the materials and put them into construction. In order to protect her, they had to erase her contribution to it.
All the investigation materials about her were destroyed several months ago, leaving no trace.
Even, the old leader specially asked him to arrange a past for Li Xingxing and Li Zhengrong. Anyone who investigates again can only find out that Li Zhengrong went abroad to work under the cover of the organization and returned quietly.
There is no problem with the ingredients of grandparents and grandchildren.
Some people asked the leader why he gave her the amount of money alone, and then returned Li's house. The leader's original words were: "I have been with Li Gongzheng for a long time, and I remembered his merits. I heard that he had a granddaughter alive, so I took care of it a little bit. Li Gong donated his entire family property. , but I didn't donate the old house, our country can't take every inch of the masses, shouldn't it be given?"
It's a clear road.
In addition to being smart and lively, Li Xingxing has more social contacts and better living conditions. In other places, she is no different from ordinary girls. After all, she has her own father and brother to take care of her, and the curious people will soon disperse.
It doesn't affect them anyway, so don't pay too much attention.
Comrade Chen suddenly said, "Comrade Xiao Li, I will not send anyone."
A question mark flashed in Li Xingxing's eyes: "What?"
If she doesn't send someone, how can she donate money?
Comrade Chen taught earnestly: "I will call Comrade Xue Fan, the leader of Wutong City, and ask him to come to the door tomorrow and receive your money in person. Don't you donate it to Wutong City to donate to the country? It's the same. I'm far away from you. , what happened to you is beyond your reach, but donated to Wutong City, and the local people must think of you."
With this money, Wutong City will definitely go to Shanghai to exchange it without hesitation, and purchase a batch of grain, oil and cloth with overseas exchange coupons as a supply for the citizens.
Comrade Chen intends to remind them.
Ginger is old and spicy.
Li Xingxing learned.
chapter 0256 Acting Together
The matter was resolved smoothly, and the hearts of the whole family were put into the stomach.
Xia Xingxing inadvertently heard people talking about Li Xingxing's feat of donating 10,000 US dollars to the school in the restaurant, and this 10,000 US dollars was successfully exchanged for tens of thousands of catties of food for the school. He didn't know it well.
If it is allowed to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At any time, we must not underestimate the hatred of the people for the rich.
Now the proletariat is in charge.
After getting off work, Xia Xingxing and Li Xiuhong got rid of their colleagues' questioning and hurried back to Li's house. After listening to Li Xingxing triumphantly expressing his decision and Comrade Chen's suggestion, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It's solved, it's fine.
Money or something, it's really something outside the body.
Everyone is safe and sound.
So, they started making steamed buns, steaming steamed buns, and cooking a pot of millet porridge.
Xia Xingxing has good craftsmanship and makes the stuffing for buns by hand.
Leek and egg stuffing, green vegetable stuffing, vermicelli pork stuffing, mushroom stuffing with dried bamboo shoots, pork stuffing with dried plums and vegetables, buns with big fists, thin skin and big stuffing, steamed 8 cages, 30 per cage.
All of them were white and chubby, and Li Dazhu and Grandpa Thirteen kept their eyes on them.
After the pot is out, the curtains at home are not enough.
Chopping boards, crates, wicker baskets and basins all come in handy.
As soon as it arrived in the main room, Li Xingxing reached out and picked up a bun from the curtain, turning his left hand over his right hand, "Hot, hot, hot!"
"Gosh!" Li Xiuhong said, "No one robs you, what can you do if you take it after a while?"
"I'll blow." Xia Xingxing took over.
"I'll try it for you first!" Li Xingxing always found a reason, and took a bite of the bun with Xia Xingxing's hand, the skin was broken and the stuffing came out, and the aroma suddenly overflowed, "I'm so lucky, dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots with pork stuffing! "
Li Dazhu smiled: "Innate wealth and life."
Ordinary people can't really afford her.
"In the new era, what is rich and not rich, don't let outsiders hear that it's bad for them. I, I just hope that she and Nian'en will be safe and sound for a lifetime. There is nothing to ask for." Li Xiuhong said, greeting Uncle and brother, "Don't patronize and say, drink porridge, eat steamed buns, and leave the city to travel later, you must be full."
Men's appetite is big.
Xia Mingxing killed fifteen buns, Li Dazhu and Grandpa Thirteen each ate ten, and each drank two bowls of porridge.
Don't look at Li Xingxing eating happily, one is 50% full, but two can't be eaten.
Xia Xingxing took over the half of her leftover pork buns with dried plums and vegetables.
Li Xingxing drank millet porridge, "Xiao Xia, you can act with us in a while! I asked someone to get some food and put it somewhere outside the city. Let's take some, and let Uncle and Grandpa Thirteen bring back the rest. Family."
Xia Xingxing hurriedly said: "I have food there."
"Take it!" Li Xiuhong said, "You cook and deliver it every day. I know how much it consumes. How can we always let our mothers eat and drink? Xing Xing's father sent some things, In addition to the inventory at home, I have packed it up and divided it into three parts, we will keep one, Uncle Thirteen will take one for my parents, and the last one for you."
He did not forget to explain to Li Dazhu: "Whoever asks about the steamed buns will say that they were bought from the state-run restaurant by a celebrity. Don't make a statement."
After dark, the dried buns and steamed buns were put into baskets, and the baskets and sacks she had packed up were loaded onto the mule cart.
Li Dazhu and Grandpa Thirteen skillfully drove a mule cart, Xia Xingxing led Li Xingxing on a bicycle, and Li Xiuhong rode a blue ling bicycle alone. The group went out and disappeared into the night.
Follow Li Xingxing's directions to the Poqiao Cave she said.
"Brother Xia, look at the wind, my mother, grandpa and uncle thirteen stay away. I'll go down first to see if the food has arrived." Li Xingxing arranged it, and went underground to the bottom of the bridge.
Chapter 0257
Li Xingxing was very skillful in throwing food under the bridge hole.
Ten bags each of brown rice, cornmeal, and wheat bran, ten barrels of peanut oil, two bags each of rice and flour, plus some bean cakes, peanut cakes, and rapeseed cakes left over from oil extraction.
I didn't donate it together with the 170 tons of grain, because it was put in the small warehouse of the grain and oil store.
belong to another group.
The grains were all 25 kilograms of white nylon bags, like plastic oil drums, without any writing.
The old man has always been considerate.
The grain and oil stores with the production date, brand, and origin are sold out, and those without handwriting must be stocked for her.
After getting some dust to cover it up, Li Xingxing climbed out and asked Xia Xingxing to come forward, "I'll look to the wind, you guys move. Brother Xia, bring out a bag of rice and flour each, and put the rest on the mule cart."
Refined grain is not given to my uncle.
She said to Li Dazhu again: "Uncle, go back and tell the eight uncles that it's not free, except for soybean meal, I have to pay for others, brown rice, cornmeal and wheat bran are a bag of two cents per catty. , it's very cheap, peanut oil is one kilogram per pound, one bucket per family, and the amount of rice and flour is small, I bought it for my grandmother and grandpa, and it's their business to divide it."
Li Xingxing felt that uncles were absolutely willing to pay for food.
Possibility up to 100%.
They have workers in every household, and there is definitely no shortage of money, but food.
It is impossible for everyone to have enough food just by relying on the limited rations provided by the towns.
Except for the eldest uncle, the relationship with several other uncles is really average.
Emotions come out of nowhere!
If it weren't for the sake of grandma and grandpa, Li Xingxing would never have thought of preparing them for them.
The reason for this is to let the grandparents know that their sons also have them, so that they can enjoy the filial piety of their granddaughters with confidence.
Going down to carry the food with a flashlight, the whole group was sluggish.
Li Dazhu blurted out: "Xingxing, what's the way?"
Get one or two thousand catties of food in one go.
Although it is mainly coarse grains, it is food, food that can fill the stomach!
And oil.
Bright, fragrant peanut oil.
Li Xingxing sat on the bridge with his legs dangling, "It's been said that it's kept secret, why tell you? People don't want me to reveal any information about them."
Li Xiuhong urged: "Brother, don't be long-winded, hurry up!"
Put it on the cart, stack it neatly, cover it with the old oilcloth on the mule cart, and tie it firmly with hemp rope, leaving only a piece of bean cake to smash with stones to feed the mules.
Leaving the place, he gave them another ride, and told them to be careful. Li Xiuhong brought her daughter and son-in-law back to the city.
Worrying that they would be robbed of those who ran into the desert on the road, Li Dazhu and his uncle did not dare to take the big road, let alone the small road. Instead, they used their familiarity with Wutong City and its surroundings to choose a place where no one usually goes.
There is no road at all, and it is extremely difficult to go through all obstacles.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the grandfather arrived home.
Not daring to stay, he quietly entered Lao Li's house.
Mrs. Li and Old Man Li were old and alert, and they were startled when they opened the door: "Why are you acting like thieves?"
Li Dazhu was soaked all over, "Isn't it the same as being a thief? Xiuhong and Xingxing asked someone to get some food. Our father and I were scared to death along the way, afraid of being robbed."
Old Man Li took off the tarpaulin and lit a light, "My God!"
"The good things are in the baskets, the steamed buns and buns are divided among everyone, and the rest belongs to you and the two elders. It is the filial piety of Xiuhong and Xingxing." Li Dazhu first unloaded the baskets and moved them into the main room, and then unloaded the grain into the side room.
Seeing the two baskets of big steamed buns and big buns, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li were stunned again.
"The weather is very hot, hurry up and let it dry, don't cover it up." Li Dazhu's words reminded the old couple immediately, and hurriedly took out the curtains, dustpan, and dustpan at home to dry the steamed buns and buns.
In the busy time, Li Dazhu has explained everything.
Mrs. Li made a decisive decision: "You rest first, and ask the children to eat in the morning. I will heat the buns, but it is not allowed in the hot weather. As for the food, only tell your wife and your younger brothers and sisters, don't tell anyone, let them come at night. Pay to move home."
Hide the baskets and rice noodles for the old couple first!
Chapter 0258 The first time on the headlines
Not to mention the laughter of the old Li family early in the morning, Li Xingxing soon welcomed Xue Fan, the leader of Wutong City.
Li Xiuhong took time off to accompany her at home.
She didn't worry about letting her daughter face so many people alone.
Along with Xue Fan were his secretary, the accountant who managed the finances, and the second and third leaders in the city. They were all in their 40s and 50s.
Li Xingxing opened two big round eyes.
Unexpectedly, there are actually two leaders who hold very high positions decades later!
Xue Fan is one, and Chang Zheng's second-in-command is one.
It can't be said that they are mobilizing a lot. Forty-nine thousand dollars is not a small amount.
The exchange rmb is hundreds of thousands.
They even brought reporters, carrying cameras.
To interview Li Xingxing, to take pictures.
A female student donated 10,000 US dollars to help poor teachers and students, and donated the remaining money to the country, which was a good thing.
What matters these days is selfless dedication.
Good people and good deeds should be reported publicly.
Only in this way will it arouse the admiration and emulation of the people.
Li Xingxing covered half of his face, "You don't need to take pictures, right?"
I feel really ashamed!
Xue Fan shook hands with her and said with a smile: "If you use it, you must have a photo in the newspaper. Comrade Li Xingxing, on behalf of the people of Wutong City, I would like to thank Comrade Xiao Li for your selfless dedication. With this foreign currency, we will Wutong City can purchase 100,000 catties of grain and a large amount of soybean oil to solve some of the difficulties of the people."
Li Xingxing really didn't have such a high level of consciousness.
She was in a hurry to get rid of this hot potato because she was afraid of trouble.
And the premise is that she is not short of money.
If she is short of money, she will not donate!
Accepting all kinds of fancy praise with a guilty conscience, Li Xingxing's face was sullen, and he behaved very calmly.
At the end, Xue Fan praised: "Comrade Li Xingxing, you are one year younger than my daughter, and you are a hundred times stronger than her! I thought you were a great kind of donation to poor teachers and students like a school, but I didn't expect you to give all the rest. Donate to the people."
"Your daughter?" Li Xingxing was curious.
Xue? Xue?
Could it be Xue Cui?
Looking closely at the eyebrows, there are indeed one or two similarities.
Xue Fan's answer was not what she expected, "She is in the same class as you, and I heard her talk about you many times. It can be said that although we have never met, I have heard your name for a long time, and it is really outstanding. "
Li Xingxing concealed the doubts in his heart, and said embarrassedly, "You are really over the top."
She hurriedly said: "Let's get down to business, I'll take out the money, and you and everyone will check and confirm."
The reporter was busy raising the camera.
Li Xingxing is beautiful, well-dressed and very photogenic.
I pressed the shutter and took several pictures.
There is a single photo of her, a group photo of her and everyone, the scene of Xue Fan shaking hands with her, the scene of her holding out $49,000, and the scene of her signing the donation book.
Although it is a black and white photo, it is very clear.
Two days later, a photo of Li Xingxing bowing his head and signing next to the dollar made the headlines of the Wutong Morning News.
The first headline in my life.
Between the lines, the article is full of simple rainbow farts!
Li Xingxing thought that they were talking about fairies, not themselves.
Really blind.
Li Xiuhong, on the other hand, bought 20 newspapers in one go.
"Next time your uncle comes, ask him to bring a few copies back to your grandma and grandpa to take a look at, and give a few copies to the neighbors for a look, and I'll keep a few more copies." She happily distributed and did good deeds Of course you have to name it.
Don't leave your name, who knows that you are a good person?
The original intention of donating money is to let everyone know.
Chapter 0259 Love Brand Electric Fan
There is no need for Li Xiuhong to deliberately promote it, the neighbors know all about it.
A newspaper costs only two cents. The residents of Wutong Street are more affluent than those around them. There are not a few people who order newspapers on a monthly basis, and some employees can read newspapers in the office when they go to work.
Li Xingxing's photos and reports are prominently placed.
As long as you are not blind, as long as you are not illiterate, you can understand.
Didn't blow up the street like last time.
The reason is simple, everyone benefits!
Each of them is like a mirror in their hearts.
Although 100,000 catties of grain are pitifully small relative to the population, there is always someone who can benefit from it when it is transported into Wutong City.
Mainly cloth, add up to a few hundred pieces, everyone has the opportunity to snap up!
Lin Lan, who was far away in Songhua County, rushed into the house waving a newspaper, and said in a hurried voice: "Mother, mother, mother, have you seen the newspaper in Wutong City today? Xiaosan's daughter-in-law actually donated hundreds of thousands!"
"Hundreds of thousands?" Aunt Xia grabbed the newspaper and opened it to see what happened.
After reading it at a glance, she said, "Where did the hundreds of thousands come from? Fart! It's obviously 49,000."
"Mother, you're talking about US dollars, and I'm talking about rmb. When converted, isn't 49,000 US dollars equal to hundreds of thousands of dollars? I heard people say that there are 600 pieces of cloth supply coupons for hundreds of thousands of remittance bills. Four or five thousand catties of oil, six thousand catties of glutinous rice, six thousand catties of soybeans, and six thousand catties of soy food can be exchanged for seven or eight thousand catties of grain! It can be piled up into a mountain." Lin Lan envied Blood dripping from his eyes, "So much money was donated, does the mistress know?"
What if it was brought to the Xia family as a dowry?
As a sister-in-law, she just takes some back to her mother's house, enough for her parents and brothers to eat rice and noodles.
Aunt Xia raised her eyebrows and said solemnly: "Xiao San's daughter-in-law earns the money she wants to spend, and she doesn't need Xiao San to be the master of the house! If you're not married, you just worry about it, what do you want to do? You've been here for seven or eight years. , whether it's the betrothal gift from our family before your marriage, or the living expenses given to you by the boss after marriage, I don't want a cent!"
In the same way, no matter how much money Li Xingxing's family has, she won't bother.
It's not a good thing to have a large amount of well-known wealth in your hands these days.
Donation is a smart move by smart people.
Aunt Xia admired Li Xingxing very much in her heart, and wished Xia Xingxing would marry her son immediately, but unfortunately she was preparing for the college entrance examination, so she could not be disturbed no matter what.
If everyone had her understanding, then the world would be better off.
Li Xingxing is now the focus of Wutong City. She is worried that she will be surrounded by onlookers and continues to ask for leave.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. She can't do it unless she works hard.
If she didn't get good grades in the college entrance examination, people would definitely surround her with all kinds of remarks.
How miserable!
Her dream is to be a salted fish, how could she be so mixed up?
Fortunately, I had the foresight to get food for my uncle and the others before I donated the money, and let them go back, but now, I won't get her if I kill her, so that no one will spy on their house secretly.
"When did you become a boss?" Li Xingxing lay sadly on the big case and looked at Xia Xingxing.
"Be patient, it will end soon. At the beginning, they only pay attention to you when they feel fresh. The food supply is getting more and more difficult. When they find that the public food cannot be delivered, they will not be at ease." Xia Xingxing started to make a mess electric wire.
He brought Li Xingxing an electric fan.
It's like a lump of iron, very heavy, and it doesn't even shake on the case.
The wire was a little short. Xia Mingxing brought a tool for her to lengthen it, put the plug into the seat, turned on the switch, and the four blue iron fan leaves whirled up, sending out bursts of hot air.
The weather is hot and the wind is not cool.
However, Li Xingxing's heart is comfortable and sweet.
Chapter 0260 Do not eat imported food
Xia Xingxing, he may be a spiritual teacher.
Even with a boyfriend to accompany, Li Xingxing was going crazy.
After staying at home for more than a week, on June 20, she finished all the half boxes of papers that Chen Nian'en had prepared for her. Li Xingxing slipped out of the house to send them out and bought a newspaper at the same time, and suddenly saw a breaking news.
Real, high-profile headlines.
A staff member of the post and telecommunications office selling newspapers said to her, "Do rich people like to donate? This person donates more than you."
Li Xingxing said: "I can't compare with him."
She had expected it, not unexpected.
Today's headline is: After donating tens of millions of properties, Zhao Haiyun, a Shanghai-based capitalist originally from Wutong City, spent nearly 7 million US dollars to import 100,000 tons of grain from abroad, and has now arrived at the Shanghai Wharf safely!
All wheat, rice and corn.
On the dock, Zhao Haiyun made proper arrangements for the batch of grain on the spot:
Among them, 30,000 tons will be used to support poor households in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. The average family income is less than 8 yuan or the per capita ration is less than 15 catties. They can apply. The remaining 60,000 tons will be sent by the state to the people in the disaster-stricken areas for assistance, striving to deliver every grain of grain to the people who need it most!
The $49,000 donated by Li Xingxing was nothing compared to that, and the people's attention naturally shifted to Zhao Haiyun, including the residents of Wutong City, who were all talking about it.
Countless applause and countless praises flocked to Zhao Haiyun like a tide.
Li Xingxing was very grateful to him.
Finally, I can finally step out of the house and go to school!
When she was in school, she wanted to sleep in at home, but now she sleeps in every day, and she wants to go to school again.
The human heart is insatiable!
Take a look at the roadside scenery, beautiful and beautiful.
Few people really paid attention to her. When she entered the classroom, only Zhu Yuanyuan and Xue Cui lent her the review materials they had organized. "What the teacher said when you were not at school."
"Thank you!" Li Xingxing took it with both hands.
Zhu Yuanyuan said maliciously, "If you are truly grateful, let me choose a Bragi."
Li Xingxing was stunned: "Didn't you take two dresses from me?"
"My mother paid my salary this month, and gave me ten yuan as pocket money!" It's not that it's not good to protect her mother, Zhu Yuanyuan happily took out a big black ten and patted it in Li Xingxing's hand, clasped her hands together: "Please!"
Li Xingxing put it back: "No new ones, my mother has already washed them."
Although some have no upper body at all, but I don't want to sell it to Zhu Yuanyuan for a while!
Find out about hunger marketing.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly wilted.
Li Xingxing turned her head to which course she was taking, but Zhu Yuanyuan didn't have time to answer when she suddenly heard someone at the door say impassively, "I won't eat imported food if I kill you! The food that the capitalists bought from the capitalist countries is stained with the blood and sweat of the capitalists who exploited and squeezed the working people. , what is made is human blood steamed buns, which will corrode our socialist hearts! We must resist their erosion!"
Before he finished speaking, people had already entered the classroom.
Except for the same table, the front and rear tables, and the left and right tables, Li Xingxing is not familiar with the classmates in the class. Recently, Zhang Yuanchao, the monitor of the class, and the poor girls who received donations have left a little impression on her.
So she didn't know the boy who was talking to Zhang Yuanchao.
Zhu Yuanyuan murmured, "Fool!"
I am so hungry that I even eat the bark and grass roots. Who cares whether it is imported or domestically produced food? If you have food to eat, you should be lucky.
Li Xingxing's eyes are sharp, she teased: "This classmate keeps saying that he doesn't eat imported food, but why do you use imported food? Are there other Parker pens in your pocket? American ones."
