Chapter 194 Grain Delivery at the Grain Station
"I just heard from the villagers that it's going to rain for the next few days. I'm afraid it's just going to be cloudy today. If we don't hand in the grain today, the tide might come back."
Lin Jianhe patiently explained to Lin Yinyin. Lin Yinyin didn't understand these things, so she just followed whatever her brother said. He did prepare some simple things for breakfast.
After eating, the few of them went to the threshing ground. Today was the day to follow the captain's orders. Those who had carts at home could use them, and those who didn't could carry the grain on their shoulders, on a shoulder pole, or in a backpack. In short, they would use whatever means of transportation they had.
Everyone lined up one by one, and the food was packed in sacks and then stacked on the car.
Lin Yinyin and her friends were relatively well-off. Although they didn't have a cart, they had a tricycle and a bicycle. Although the bicycles couldn't hold much, it was still better than carrying food to town on their backs.
Everyone lined up and walked towards the town. At that time, there was only one road to the town, and all the production teams had to take this road to get there.
At this time, it depends on who gets there first. Whoever gets there first will be the one who hands in the food first. Everyone wants to hand in the food today.
It was inevitable that there would be quarrels. At this time, the team leaders of several production teams were secretly competing with each other and no one was willing to speak up for the other party.
All they were thinking about was handing over the grain as early as possible today. After handing over the grain, they would feel at ease and could go back and distribute the grain to the villagers according to their work points.
All the way to the grain station in town, the people queuing were all going to the grain station to deliver grain. It was not until after noon that it was finally Lin Yinyin and her group's turn.
Lin Jianhe was weighing the goods properly, but Jiang Jizhi was not like that. He stood there and praised the goods left and right, making the young lady who was registering the goods feel shy.
"Alright, alright, put the food in and go."
It was obvious that this female comrade had only been there for a short time and was not very concerned about her reputation, unlike the 50-year-old lady next to her who was very fussy. In the end, it seemed that it was only after the team leader of the production team came over and gave her a handful of fruit candies that she finally gave in.
The main thing is that the registrar came up and said that the moisture content of your grain is not enough. According to Lin Yinyin's understanding, this means that their grain is not dried?
This cannot be ruled out as being due to the weather. No wonder they have to deliver food today. If they hadn't delivered it today, we would have to wait for a while.
As for the villagers, after a year of consumption, there is very little food left in their homes, and every family is looking forward to the autumn harvest and distribution of grain.
In the first few days after the food was distributed, we were able to have a few good meals. In addition to food, we could sometimes also get soybean oil, mountain products, and even money.
When Lin Yinyin and her companions were walking back, they could still see a long queue on the road!
Originally, they wanted to go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, but it was already past mealtime and the chef had already gone off work, so there was nothing to eat.
Cai Yanhong wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks to eat, but there were too many people in the cooperative, and even Cai Yanhong couldn't squeeze in.
You can imagine what kind of scene this is!
It is because all the production teams came to the town grain station to deliver grain today, causing the supply and marketing cooperative to be as crowded as it is during Chinese New Year.
It's really lively...
On the way back, I happened to meet Aunt Luo who was also passing by. I originally wanted to take Aunt Luo back to the village, but Aunt Luo said that they had to go back to her mother's house to help, and would bring the kitten back when they came back.
After hearing this, Lin Yinyin gave up the idea of taking Aunt Luo back, and even hoped that Aunt Luo would leave faster and not delay the important business!
When they were almost at the village, the rain stopped after two or three drops, without even wetting the ground.
The people in the backyard naturally didn't care about these few drops of rain, but those who were still queuing up in the town to deliver food were very nervous. If it suddenly rained, their food would be ruined.
Fortunately, it only rained two drops and then stopped, which made everyone feel relieved.
Just the delivery of grain took three full days to complete. I heard that this was the result of overtime work at the grain station.
Fortunately, God was very kind. For three whole days, only two drops of rain fell on the day when Lin Yinyin and her friends went to the town. At other times, not a drop of rain fell.
That night, after all the food was handed over, it rained heavily and Lin Yinyin was woken up from her sleep.
It had been raining for several days in a row, and several people in the backyard were all huddled in Lin Yinyin's small kitchen, helping to pickle vegetables. This was because the mustard greens that Lin Yinyin had experimented with last time tasted pretty good, so this time she dared to let go and do it.
The big jar I bought before has finally been put to use. It is full of mustard heads, which should be enough to last until next autumn harvest.
As for sauerkraut, Lin Yinyin still didn't make it herself, but asked Luo Dama next door to help pickle it.
When Aunt Luo came, she brought the two kittens with her. The two little ones hid in the basket and didn't dare to come out.
When Lin Yinyin saw the two little ones, she was completely melted by their cuteness.
There are two little kittens. One is completely black except for its four white paws. There is a piece of white hair on the tip of its tail. It is so cute.
The other one is just an ordinary little orange cat. The little orange cat looks thinner than the little black cat, but both of them are not very fat.
"Xiao Lin, these two kittens are the best-looking ones I picked out. It was you who told me you wanted two good-looking ones, and then I picked and chose."
When Aunt Luo saw Lin Yinyin's happy expression, she knew she had made the right choice.
"Thank you so much, Aunt Luo. I love them very much. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them."
"I know you are all good children. Kittens don't eat much, so just give them a little food. When they grow up, they will be able to go out and find food on their own, so it won't cost much."
Aunt Luo knew that Lin Yinyin and the others were soft-hearted people and would definitely not abuse these small animals, but she still couldn't help but say something.
"I remember, Aunt Luo, let's go outside and pickle some sauerkraut. Let the kitten get used to the environment here. You can call Uncle Luo over to help later. You can have lunch here. I can't let you work for nothing!"
Lin Yinyin put some water in the room for the two kittens, closed the door gently, and walked out with Aunt Luo.
"Okay! I'll ask your Uncle Luo to bring some food when he comes over!"
Aunt Luo agreed readily, and Lin Yinyin didn't say anything else. Sometimes it's good to be polite.
