Reborn in the red age

Chapter 61 What a big package
These old ladies with little feet looked at Qingfeng Li and his group carrying large and small bags in their hands, and immediately realized that they were going to the commune to buy things, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The people in the city are really lucky. They can eat commercial food in the city without having to go to the fields. When they go to the countryside to join the queue, they are also given rations and living expenses subsidies by the organization. They take advantage of all the good things.

Back at the small courtyard for educated youth, Li Qingfeng first went to see if the old hens in the chicken coop had laid eggs. He probably frightened the chickens when he caught them from Lao Zhao's house, and they never laid eggs after they were brought back to the courtyard.

Today is already the sixth day. Wang Weimin has been craving for the old hen for a long time. If he doesn't lay eggs, he will probably be killed for meat.

"Yeah, there are eggs. The chicken butt bank in our small courtyard for educated youth has opened. I don't know how long I haven't eaten eggs, but I can finally have eggs in the future."

When Qingfeng Li took out an egg from the chicken coop, Wang Xianglan quickly came over, picked up the egg and put it in his hand, playing with it and talking excitedly.

After taking out all the two eggs inside, Qingfeng Li took the eggs from the other party's hand and joked with a smile: "Are you kidding? It's just one egg. There are so many old hens in this brigade, and you can't replace them." Eggs coming?”

"Then why am I embarrassed? Not many people in the brigade are willing to eat eggs. They save them and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative. Occasionally, you can exchange for one or two eggs. If you go there more often, the villagers will say that we female educated youths Gossip"

"Well, we don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell eggs anyway. With these five old hens, we educated youths will be able to eat eggs in the future."

The property rights of these old hens belonged to Wu Xiangqian, but the eggs were shared by all the educated youths who helped at the time. This was what everyone agreed at the time, and that was why Li Qingfeng was so generous in making the decision for Wu Xiangqian.

The current egg supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price is one nickel, and five old hens can earn more than one yuan a week. It is truly a chicken butt bank.

It's just that there is a price but no market. The supply and marketing cooperative puts up a sign every day to collect eggs, but they only collect them and don't sell them. They put up a sign to make a joke.

In the evening, when everyone came back from work, two groups of educated youths happily ate rice porridge with eggs. When Wang Mengmeng and the others looked over, they drooled with envy.

In the next few days, no one in the team did anything wrong. They worked in the fields every day to earn work points. Since Qingfeng Li's daily workload was the third from the bottom in the team, plus Qingfeng Li He is the third eldest son in the family, and he is known as the third eldest son in the team.

Gradually, no one called him Li Zhiqing anymore. When they met, they used the title Li Laosan to tease him.

Qingfeng Li is not embarrassed about this title. Anyway, he is thick-skinned. You can say whatever you like, but I have no objection at all. He works hard in the fields every day and stops to take a rest when he reaches the third to last position.

At the beginning of September, the weather in the Black Province began to get colder. Li Qingfeng, who had no winter clothes, was waiting all the time for his mother to send his package.

Before Qingfeng Li was about to freeze to death, the postman who came to deliver the letter finally informed Qingfeng Li that a package had arrived, and asked Qingfeng Li to go to the commune post office to pick up the package. Before Qingfeng Li set out, he also reminded Qingfeng that the package was very big, so it was best. I borrowed a bicycle and went to get it back.

Thinking that the package contained quilts, cotton clothes, etc., Li Qingfeng felt that what the postman said was very reasonable. He took out half a pack of Harvest cigarettes and ran to the animal house of the brigade.After finding the breeder and throwing him half a pack of Harvest cigarettes, he successfully saddled the team's horses and led them out.

There are horses in the Northeast. The current degree of agricultural mechanization is low. Production work mainly relies on manpower and cattle and horses. Horses are used for hauling and arable land. Basically, each production team keeps several horses.

Some time ago, Qingfeng Li had nothing to do. He often got close to the breeders in the team, and then he learned to ride a horse. He finally got the opportunity to ride a long distance, how could he let it go?

As he was riding his horse out of the village, he was spotted by the captain. Spring plowing was about to begin. Such a waste of power made the captain feel very distressed. He chased her for a long distance and shouted for Qingfeng Li to stop.

At this time, Li Qingfeng didn't care what the captain shouted. The little old man was only angry for a while. When he came back, he could be solved by throwing him a small pack of cigarettes. Now he just pretended not to hear, and rode forward with his head down. It is as free as the wind.

Mother Li felt very sorry for her little son. The package was as tall as a person. Sending such a large package would cost a lot of money just for postage.

It was difficult for Qingfeng to carry the large and heavy package onto the horse. On the way back, Qingfeng Li's package fell off the horse several times. Fortunately, it was full of cotton. If the other items had been returned to the Educated Youth Yard, they would still be there. Is there a good one?

Returning to the Qingshan Brigade, such a large package once again attracted the envious eyes of the members.

Carrying the package into the house, Qingfeng Li leaned against the stove to warm himself. After his frozen fingers stretched out, he began to unpack the package and inspect the items inside.

There is a letter at the top, written by the second sister. It contains a list of items for this time, and then talks about the situation at home. Boss Li has married Zheng Lili, and the scene is very lively. There are some wedding candies and chocolates in the package. My sister-in-law put it in specially.

In addition, there are some defective cloths from textile factories, which are enough to make clothes. You can find someone in the countryside to make new clothes. Don't dislike the cloth just because the printing is not good. Why do you wear it so well in the countryside? I remind you again. Qingfeng Li didn't want to talk about partners, let alone argue with the village leaders.

After reading all the letters, I did not check the contents of the package, but seriously wrote a reply to my family on the table.

In the letter, I told myself about my living situation here. In short, it was just some words of good news but not bad news. I also talked about the food problem here. There is indeed a lot of food here. I don’t need to send myself food stamps anymore. I can usually eat enough, but I can't exchange it for national food stamps and send them home.

If any of our educated youths go back, I will find a way to get a batch of grain and ask him to help bring it back.

After writing the letter, put it in an envelope and mail it out when you go to the commune.

It's not that Qingfeng Li is reluctant to send national food stamps to his family, it's just that it's really hard to get national food stamps these days. It's a complete fantasy for an educated youth who just came to join the queue to get some national food stamps and send them back. Maybe Li's mother would be worried about what Qingfeng Li had done in the countryside.
