Chapter 17

It is now four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is getting darker.Many families in the village have already started preparing dinner, and there are very few villagers wandering outside.On the contrary, many villagers who went out to work came back one after another.

"Xu Lingjun."

"Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer. Hello."

All the educated youths were dispatched, and everyone came back with firewood on their backs.Xu Lingjun greeted them and left.

After leaving, Wang Baichuan looked at Zhao Qiping and said, "Qiping, why do I feel Xu Lingjun's back is so familiar. Did you say that we met him in the field two days ago?"

"Looking at the back and figure, they do look a bit similar."

"Let me just say, after I went back that day, I thought about it. I always feel that this person is Xu Lingjun, not someone else."

"Come on, I think we scared him enough. Don't think about it."

"Ah."

On the other side, Xu Lingjun walked back home with rice on his back.The people in the countryside are indeed simple, but there are always a few people who are not very good.For example, the 36-year-old slacker, bachelor, bum, bastard, stealing the holy stick and so on.

He hid the rice in the cellar and locked it up.He took a 50-jin plastic bag and walked quickly to the team headquarters.Silly Zhu just got the food and walked out.From a distance, Xu Lingjun walked over with a bag of grain.

He still remembers what happened a few days ago.Shazhu is a man who will take revenge if he has a grudge, and he will take revenge immediately.When working in the cafeteria before, Shazhu helped the uncle a lot.There is a lot of old grain in the granary.

Sha Zhu came up with a good idea, that is to find a way to distribute old food to Xu Lingjun, even broken food.He returned to the office with the food bag.

The uncle looked at the silly Zhu who had gone back and forth in surprise, and said, "Silly Zhu, why don't you go back?"

"Master, I've thought about it and I'm going to help you with things and accompany you after get off work."

The uncle was very relieved, and said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness, let's go back and cook."

"Grandpa, sit down, drink some hot tea, and rest for a while. Let me do everything."

Silly Zhu was so enthusiastic, the uncle half-heartedly agreed. "Okay. There's no hot water, I'll go and boil some hot water. Silly Zhu, watch carefully. If you don't know how to do it, just wait until I come."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I can still handle this little thing."

The uncle left satisfied and went to boil hot water.

Silly Zhu looked outside, Xu Lingjun was still some distance away.According to the memory, I came to the corner of the warehouse.Sure enough, I saw that some of the sweet potatoes piled up in the corner were broken, and I was going to take them out to dry.

Silly put the bad sweet potatoes on the lower layer of the weighing pan, and put the good sweet potatoes on the upper layer.Slowly adjust, exactly 20 catties.Then prepare 30 catties of aged rice, put it aside, and sit and wait.

Xu Lingjun walked for a while, then walked to the door of the granary, and walked in directly.Looking at the silly Zhu who was sitting on the seat, he said, "Silly Zhu, what about the uncle, I will get the food."

"The uncle is making tea in the back, and asked me to help distribute the food."

"All right, silly Zhu, weigh 20 catties of sweet potatoes for me."

"Where is the grain receipt? Bring it."

"It's already given to the uncle. I just lost my food bag and only got 30 catties of rice. This time I came to pick up the remaining sweet potatoes."

Silly Zhu deliberately made things difficult for Xu Lingjun, and said, "That won't work, I can't distribute food to you without a note. Otherwise, just wait a while."

"alright."

There was only one chair here, and Xu Lingjun had nowhere to sit, so he could only stand aside and wait.

During this period, other people also came to collect food.Silly Zhu didn't even give Chen Liang to others, he just waited to cheat Xu Lingjun.Looking at Shazhu, he always looks at a bamboo basket in the corner intentionally or unintentionally.Xu Lingjun was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it.

After a while, the uncle came back.

Xu Lingjun hurriedly said, "Grandpa, silly Zhu didn't see the ration notice, so he won't give me rations."

After hearing this, the uncle said to Shazhu, "Silly Zhu, Xu Lingjun's note was given to me earlier. I only got 30 catties of rice, and there is still 20 catties of sweet potatoes left. Prepare it for him."

"En." Silly Zhu nodded to the uncle, then walked to the corner, lifted out the bamboo basket containing the old grain, and blocked Xu Lingjun's sight, poured the old grain sweet potato in the bamboo basket into the weighing pan .The 10 kg weight was hung up, and it was just balanced.

"Xu Lingjun, exactly 20 catties. Bring the bag, and I'll pack it for you."

Sha Zhu was so kind, Xu Lingjun didn't think too much, and handed him the bag.Silly Zhu took the snakeskin bag, turned his back to Xu Lingjun and put all the sweet potatoes in it.Then he turned to Xu Lingjun and said, "Rope."

Sha Zhu took the rope from Xu Lingjun's hand and tied up the snakeskin bag.Said, "Okay, take it."

Xu Lingjun didn't suspect him, walked up to Shazhu, took the bag, and said "thank you".Then he greeted the uncle and left.

After waiting for a while, the sky became darker.In the sky, the blood-red sunset gradually extended to the distance, until there was a layer of light red clouds at the sun.

Xu Lingjun has been delivering couriers in Xihong City for the past few years, so he has no time to appreciate so much.Less money, less work, less time, so I can't talk about a girlfriend at all.Only when I entered the society did I realize that it is hard work without studying and without skills.I have been working hard for 3 years, except for the Spring Festival, all year round.

To be honest, the pace of life is slow now, and there is no need to desperately deliver couriers and hurry up.Xu Lingjun already felt pretty good.In life, you don't care about how much money you have, as long as you are comfortable.

Standing at the door and watching for a while, my mood became more and more peaceful.Xu Lingjun suddenly didn't want to do anything, just wanted to sit at the door and watch.

The temperature gradually makes people feel a little cooler.Xu Lingjun couldn't take it anymore.So I got up to wash the rice, and then started cooking.For dinner, Xu Lingjun didn't want to make it too complicated, just make some braised pork.

Of course, it is a bit extravagant to make a pound of pork directly.Xu Lingjun cut half a catty of pork into small pieces.No sugar, just soy sauce.Maybe the taste is almost, but the effect is not big.

Both of these can be steamed on the pot, and it is getting dark, and there is not much oil in the kerosene lamp at home.No electricity, only fire.He could only finish everything quickly while it was still early.

After simply eating and cleaning up, it was completely dark.After washing his feet, Xu Lingjun went to bed.Before he had slept for a long time, someone came to inform him that there was a meeting.

Xu Lingjun put on socks and shoes, and followed the visitors to the team headquarters.At this time, a representative from each household came.The four uncles sat in front of the stage and looked at everyone.

Uncle Dong looked at his son Xiao Dong who was running errands, and said, "Zhifeng, have everyone called?"

"Dad, don't worry, I have called people from every household."
