Chapter 2039 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.

"Yeah, 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 asked me to wait for you to go back together."

"Thank you Uncle Liu."

"There's nothing to thank, isn't it just sitting here and smoking a few sticks of cigarettes, besides, you came to the county because of the village's affairs, and 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 ox cart, she didn't go home, but walked towards the captain's house.

"Auntie, you're 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 take a bite at my house at noon."

"No, I have the leftover food from yesterday at home. You can eat it when you go back home. I came here to find the captain. I don't know if the captain is at home."

"Here, you go directly to the main room to find him."

"it is good."

When Lu Xiaoxiao entered the main room, she saw the captain sitting on the kang smoking a cigarette, because the captain had his back to her, so 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 Lu Xiaoxiao's words, 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 send people 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 [-] cents a catty. "

The captain nodded after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then said: "Although [-] 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. I really thank you."

"It would be nice 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.

"One thousand two 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.

Originally, he thought that the grain 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.

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little speechless when she saw the captain's excitement. Although six thousand catties of grain sounds like a lot, there are more than 200 households in Tianshui Village, so each family can only get 23 catties of grain, which is enough for the whole family. For a week, the problem of food shortage was not 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."

"it is 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?" Mrs. Zhao asked Mrs. Zhang anxiously.
