After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

For the people in the village, there is no day more joyful and anticipated than the day of grain distribution!

On the day of food distribution, Shen Xiaoxia got up early. She had never seen the scene of food distribution and wanted to see it.

After washing up, I went to the kitchen to fry an egg and make a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles for breakfast.

After packing up, Shen Xiaoxia went to call Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling.

Zhao Lingling had seen it last year, so she wasn't very interested in the food distribution scene at the moment. She said she would go later because there must be a lot of people queuing up right now, and she didn't want to look at the crowds.

Shen Xiaoxia took Han Zhuxin for a stroll.

The grain distribution was carried out in the threshing ground, which was a large area and the autumn harvest was also stored in the warehouse next to it.

When Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin arrived, many people had already gathered in the threshing ground.

The team leaders were maintaining order, the village accountant reported the work points of each household, and then the team leader arranged people to distribute food to them.

Those families with more labor and who are usually diligent receive more food. The whole family goes out and the cart can be pulled several times.

There was a constant smile on everyone's face, full of pride and honor, because these were the food supplies for their whole family for the next year!

Those with more work points but no need for so much grain would exchange them for money. Any surplus grain left over from the brigade would be sold off, either to families in the village who didn't have enough work points.

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin belonged to the group that needed to buy food. With their usual minimum work points, they could only guarantee that they would have something to eat, but they could not eat their fill.

After receiving the food allocated to them according to their work points, they first borrowed a cart from the villagers and transported the food back.

If you want to buy a share, you have to wait until all the villagers have received their share of grain before you can sell it.

After transporting the grain back, they rested at home for a while and then went to the threshing ground.

Shen Xiaoxia, Han Zhuxin, Zhao Fan and his sister Zhao Lingling, He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng, and Hu Shixuan, the seven people in the backyard, all planned to buy food.

Shen Xiaoxia bought 60 kilograms of rice, 60 kilograms of wheat, 50 kilograms of corn cobs, and 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes, all packed in sacks.

When eating rice and wheat, you need to process them yourself.

I also bought some soybeans and peanuts.

The food she bought, plus the food distributed at work, mixed with some of the food in the space, was enough for her to eat.

Han Zhuxin bought more than Shen Xiaoxia.

In the end, Shen Xiaoxia bought the least. Han Zhuxin asked Shen Xiaoxia to buy more, but Shen Xiaoxia just said that if it was not enough later, she would go to the county town to buy more! She bought too much and had no place to put it.

Speaking of storage, it is indeed a problem. If so much food is stored in the room, there will be no place to step.

She looked at Zhao Fan and Zhao Lingling's room, which was already very crowded.

Shen Xiaoxia doesn't like that and Han Zhuxin is not used to it either.

The two of them discussed it and decided to put part of it in the room and part of it in the kitchen. They couldn't put all of it in the kitchen because they had to leave space in the kitchen to store firewood for winter.

This means the kitchen has to be locked. It wasn’t locked before because there was nothing in it. If I plan to put food in, I have to lock it.

Shen Xiaoxia returned to the house and took out a lock from the space, which she had obtained when she signed in before, and gave a key to Han Zhuxin.

The two men cleaned the kitchen, found a few wooden boards to put underneath to keep out moisture, and then stacked the food neatly on both sides of the inside, one for each person.

Fortunately, the mud stove was built against the outermost wall, so it doesn't get in the way.

In the room, Shen Xiaoxia piled the food against the wall, forming two large piles neatly.

It didn't have much of an impact and the room was still moveable.

Shen Xiaoxia plans to go to the county town in the next two days. The cotton-padded clothes and trousers that Shen's mother mentioned in her last letter should have arrived. Due to the autumn harvest, she didn't have time to pick them up, so she has to go and pick them up.

I also have to send a letter home to tell them about my recent situation. I haven’t sent a letter for such a long time, I’m afraid my family must be worried!

Shen Xiaoxia asked in advance about the time the ox cart from the village would take to the county town, and she didn't plan to walk this time.

On the morning of departure, Shen Xiaoxia went out and felt a little cold wearing only a single layer of clothes, so she went back and put on another coat.

Maybe the autumn harvest had just ended, and many families had received some money, so they wanted to go to the county town to spend some money and buy some things that they usually couldn't afford. At this moment, many aunts were on ox carts.

When Shen Xiaoxia arrived, there were only two or three empty seats left.

Seeing that there was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old on the ox cart, Shen Xiaoxia went over and sat down next to her.

Not long after Shen Xiaoxia sat down, the place was full and the ox cart pulled everyone off.

The aunt opposite was chatting with the aunt next to her.

Shen Xiaoxia had met them in the village, but they had never spoken and didn't know who was who.

Just as he was resting his eyes, he heard the aunt speak again, "Sister-in-law Jiang, has your Jiang Yan returned these days?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's name, Shen Xiaoxia slowly raised her head, followed the aunt's gaze, and turned to look at the aunt next to the little girl. Is this Jiang Yan's mother?

He turned his gaze to the little girl beside him. Is she Jiang Yan's niece or sister?

Perhaps thinking of her youngest son, Aunt Jiang smiled. "Not yet. He said he'd be back in the next two days, so I thought I'd go to the county town today to see if I could buy some meat or something to nourish the child."

The aunt who had just asked the question spoke again, "Your Jiang Yan is a promising man. He even graduated from high school. No wonder he has a job in the county. What does he do?"

Aunt Jiang continued to smile upon hearing this, "Ah, I don't know what he does specifically, he just said that he was following an old master and running errands, helping out or something.

This kid has always been a righteous person, and his father and I can't control him."

Aunt Jiang actually knew that Jiang Yan was in the transport team, but no one in the family told anyone about it. They only said that he was running errands for a master in the county town.

After hearing this, the aunt praised again, "That's better than farming. Maybe you can find a decent job in the city in the future. How old is your Jiang Yan this year? Nineteen, right?"

Aunt Jiang nodded, "Yes, nineteen!"

"Nineteen is perfect, sister-in-law Jiang. I have a niece from my mother's side who just came of age this year. She's very hardworking and has only just graduated from elementary school. She's a perfect match for your Jiang Yan..."

The aunt was talking to herself, as if the two of them should go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.

Aunt Jiang's smile faded and she interrupted her, "My Jiang Yan is still young, so it's not time to think about this now.

Besides, his marriage is his own decision, and his father and I have no say in it."

Aunt Jiang did not lie about this. Jiang Yan was different from his elder brother. She had asked him indirectly before, and Jiang Yan said that he had his own life plan and asked them not to worry about it or make any arrangements, because he would not care!

The aunt was dissatisfied when she heard this and said, "Why can't you, as parents, make the decision for your son?

Marriage is a big deal, and we can't just let it be. Unlike girls who have no worries about getting married, it's difficult for boys to find wives when they get older.

Look at Zhou Dabao, he used to be so picky about everything, and now he's 22, it's even harder to find someone!"

"Oh, then you don't need to bother with that!" Aunt Jiang was so angry that she laughed. What kind of person was Zhou Dabao? How dare she compare him to her son!

Considering that there were so many people in the car, Aunt Jiang resisted the urge to argue with the other party. She turned her head away and didn't bother to pay attention to the other party.

The aunt wanted to say something, but the aunt next to her pulled her arm, signaling her to stop.

The atmosphere on the oxcart was a bit cold for a while...

Shen Xiaoxia was stunned, blinking her bright eyes. Was it the Zhou Dabao she knew? What was that look in the aunt's eyes?

Compare him with Jiang Yan?

Jiang Yan is at least eight hundred blocks ahead of him! No, eight thousand blocks ahead of him!

Let's not even talk about Jiang Yan's abilities or personality! Just based on his looks, finding a partner would be a piece of cake, right?

It’s no wonder that Aunt Jiang was angry. Even an outsider got angry just by listening to what she said!
