Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

Group Headquarters.

The captain was already waiting for them.

"Captain, we've come to collect our rations."

"The food rations given to the educated youth in our village were all the same: 20 jin of cornmeal and 20 jin of sweet potatoes."

It's just that it's being given to you on credit.

You will go to the palace to earn work points, and in the end, you will use those work points to offset your grain rations.

If you don't have enough centimeters, you can exchange them for cash.

The captain explained the clear rules and regulations to them.

"Captain, um, I wanted to ask if we can exchange money coupons for grain?"

"Yes, we can replace it if you don't have enough centimeters."

Captain Lu then led the three men to the granary to collect grain from the accountant.

"Old Fang, these are some new educated youth. Could you give them an advance on some food?"

"Okay!

"This is Accountant Fang. He's in charge of recording work points and distributing the year-end bonuses."

"Hello, Accountant Fang."

The group greeted Accountant Fang politely.

"Captain, look, how am I going to carry all this grain back?"

Shang Yanfang scratched her head and asked.

"We have a small stroller at home, would any of you like to come with me to get it?"

"That's what Captain Lu said."

"I'll go with you."

She remembered what her father had told her before: that the battalion commander and his father were comrades-in-arms.

She wanted to have a private talk with the captain.

The two of them walked slowly towards the brigade leader's house.

"Shang, the educated youth, is your father also surnamed Shang?"

"Yes, my father and my grandfather both have the surname Shang."

Shang Yanfang said jokingly.

"Is his name Shang Erqiang? Is he the factory manager of the food factory?"

"Yes, Shang Erqiang is my father."

"That's it. Your father wrote to me a few days ago asking me to take good care of you."

"Thank you very much, Captain."

The two walked and talked until they arrived at the Lu family's house.

The Lu family members had all gone to work, leaving only Lu Youyou, the third son of the Lu family, who had just returned from the commune.

"Third brother, bring the small cart from our backyard over so that Shang Zhiqing can use it."

As the team leader spoke, he told Lu Youyou to go to the backyard to return the car.

"Shang Zhiqing, come, have some tea. I'll have your third brother Lu help you push the grain later."

As he spoke, the team leader poured a teacup of water and handed it to Shang Yanfang.

Shang Yanfang felt a bit thirsty, so she took the cup and gulped down more than half of it.

"Thank you, Captain Lu."

"Don't call me Captain, just call me Uncle Lu."

Your father and I were comrades-in-arms for many years. We've known each other for so long.

"If you need anything in the future, just tell Uncle Lu."

"Okay, Uncle Lu."

While the two were chatting, Lu Laosan also pushed his cart over.

"Alright, Shang Zhiqing, let's go haul the grain."

Lu Youyou pushed a small wheelbarrow over and said.

"Let's go, let's go move the grain now."

After Shang Yanfang finished speaking, she picked up the enamel cup, drank the water in it in one gulp, and then stood up and walked outside.

He greeted the road leader as he walked.

"Uncle Lu, I'm leaving now. I'll come visit you again sometime."

As he spoke, he waved to the people behind him.

"Shang Zhiqing, don't you have an older brother named Shang Guohua?"

Lu Youyou asked in confusion.

"How did you know?"

Shang Yanfang said subconsciously.

"I noticed that you look a lot like Shang Guohua, and I've also heard your older brother mention that he has a younger sister."

So I guess Shang Guohua is your brother.

"Yes, Shang Guohua is my older brother."

After receiving Shang Yanfang's affirmation, Lu Youyou said...

"Your older brother and I were comrades in the same unit. We were good brothers."

"Really? He's my brother's comrade-in-arms."

Shang Yanfang didn't want such a coincidence to happen in the countryside.

The battalion commander and her father were comrades-in-arms, and the battalion commander's son and her older brother were comrades-in-arms.

This made her a little suspicious.

"It's true, your older brother and I joined the army in the same year. We've been serving together for five years now."

Your older brother is 26 years old this year, born in the Year of the Rabbit.

I like sweet and spicy food.

What Lu Youyou said was exactly the same as the older brother she remembered.

This forced her to believe that he was indeed her older brother's comrade-in-arms.

"Alright, I believe you are my brother's comrade-in-arms."

Shang Yanfang muttered to herself.

“Shang Zhiqing, if you need anything, you can come to me or my dad.”

Lu Youyou couldn't help but ask with concern.

Soon, the two approached the entrance of the granary.

He Lingling and the others were still standing there waiting for her.

"Lingling, I've brought the stroller over."

After putting the grain they had placed on the ground onto the cart, the group headed back to the educated youth settlement together.

Liu Guoqiang, who was stationed at the educated youth settlement, has already started cooking.

All the educated youth at the settlement ate together.

Each person uses their own food to cook.

Pack it in a lunchbox, and take only what you can eat.

After putting their rations aside and taking out the food they needed, the group went back to their dormitory to make their beds.

"Shang, He, are you home?"

Grandpa Wang brought his youngest son to the educated youth compound to deliver furniture.

"Yes, we're all here. Uncle Wang. I'll open the gate, please push the car in."

Li Zhaodi said that this opened the door to the educated youth compound.

Several people helped unload the items from the cart and place them at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

After tidying everything up inside, she came out to help Liu Guoqiang cook.

The former educated youth gradually returned from work.

One by one, the educated youth returned dejectedly, like wilted eggplants.

"You're back. Wash your hands and face, dinner's ready."

Liu Guoqiang said.

"Okay, Captain Liu."

After washing their hands, the group sat down at the dining table and began to eat.

After a brief self-introduction, the group became a little more familiar with each other.

"Comrades, in our educated youth compound, we take turns cooking."

They work in pairs, each responsible for preparing meals for the day. They need to finish work early and come home to cook.

There are five of you new educated youth and eight of us old educated youth. Let's form our own teams.

The remaining person can take one day each.

It's just that the remaining people cook for one day, and the others cook for two days.

"Captain Liu said."

"Yanfang, let's team up!"

He Lingling invited him.

"Then Zhao Di, let's team up."

Liu Yan extended an invitation to Li Zhaodi.

"You've all formed your teams, what am I supposed to do?" Wang Dongsheng roared in frustration.

"Okay, let's form a team like this for now. We'll take turns cooking from now on."

You can take turns following at the very back.

You should learn from us when we cook.

Liu Guoqiang explained.

"Okay, Captain Liu."

The new educated youth spoke honestly to Liu Guoqiang.

"That concludes our conversation for today. Let's go back, wash up, and go to bed."

After Liu Guoqiang gave his final summary of the day, the group went back to rest.

Shang Yanfang followed the example of the older educated youth and squatted by the well to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Speaking of this well, it was dug by the landlord's family before. Later, the landlord was sent down to the countryside, and the educated youth moved in.
