When traveling into a period novel, it is reasonable to just lie down and watch the show!

Chapter 219 Sending Food Home

"Eat! Eat! Eat first and then work!"

Su Huairen said happily, and gave Gu Zecheng a smug look, "Look~ Even if you don't give me food, I can still get it for free."

Gu Zecheng didn't even look at Su Huairen, and continued to unload bricks. However, before he had unloaded many, Lin Yinyin called for dinner.

After Su Huairen finished three bowls of noodles, he was afraid that he could not squat down and lie on the ground. If he squatted, his knees would hit his stomach and he would vomit. Wouldn't that be a waste of the noodles he had just eaten?

He took the initiative to apply for the job of setting up a shed in the backyard, and Zhuzi and a few others went with him.

Gu Zecheng looked at the people he brought with him, each of them looked like a loser. He felt ashamed. Although he had eaten two bowls, he could still squat down.

Now I've embarrassed myself in front of my brother-in-law. Won't he be even more dissatisfied with me?

Now Gu Zecheng is very dissatisfied with Su Huairen. This guy is more of a hindrance than a help... If he had known earlier, he would not have brought these people here. If he had come to work alone, it would have taken longer.

At least I have a legitimate reason to come to Qinghe Village!

As for Lin Jianhe, although he had Lin Yinyin's assurance yesterday, he was still a little worried, so he took the initiative to go into Lin Yinyin's room to lay the floor, while Gu Zecheng was laying the floor in the small kitchen.

The two of them just worked without talking, which made the atmosphere a little weird...

Even Lin Yinyin, the person involved, felt a little uncomfortable staying there. She couldn't cook lunch in her room, so she asked Cai Yanhong to use her small kitchen to cook at noon. Cai Yanhong agreed without hesitation. Anyway, her small kitchen was hardly used, and she only used it to boil water every day.

When I wanted to ask Cai Yanhong for help while cooking, she disappeared somewhere. This girl disappeared every few days.

......

They say there is strength in numbers. At the end of the day, all the floor tiles in Lin Yinyin's cottage had been laid, and even a tile at the door had been laid. Judging from the progress, it would be almost done in another day.

In the middle of the night on November 5th, the backyard of the educated youth's settlement became busy because today was the day to send something back to Lin's mother. Although it was done with the help of Cai Yanhong and someone was asked to send it back, they couldn't just ask for help for free.

And this is not a one-time deal. In the next few years, as long as they are still educated youth in Qinghe Village, they will inevitably need people to help them send things back.

There is an old saying in the north: dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off. In the middle of the night, Lin Yinyin and a few others got up to make dumplings with sauerkraut and pork filling.

Lin Jianhe and Jiang Jizhi put things on the tricycle, while Lin Yinyin and the other two were making dumplings in the house. The dumplings had more fillings and the dough was more flexible, so they thought that they could eat dumplings when Gu Zecheng and the others came, so they didn't have to cook.

But they took them all away first, and also gave some to Lin Jianhe and the other two. Before Lin Yinyin started making dumplings, she boiled water in a big pot. When they had made enough dumplings, the water boiled.

Don't delay either...

When Lin Jianhe and his wife went out after eating, it was still dark. They each rode a bicycle and set off. In the bicycle, they carried things to send back to Lin's mother and half a pot of cooked dumplings.

The dumplings I brought were for the two drivers who helped. I brought so many because I thought everyone has a big appetite these days.

In addition, Lin Jianhe also prepared a red envelope of ten yuan for each of them, which was considered as a fee for running errands...

If you calculate it this way, it's much more expensive than sending something directly from the post office, and it also involves favors. If I weren't afraid of unnecessary trouble, I wouldn't have made such a trip.

Fortunately, the efforts of the Lin brothers and sisters were not in vain, and the two drivers felt relieved!

The two drivers thought to themselves: I didn't expect that Xiaolin, despite his young age, is such a capable person. Since he's giving away food and red envelopes, they're sure to be even more attentive.

Lin Jianhe helped load the car, and after watching the people walk away, he followed Jiang Jizhi to the village. When passing by the post office, he sent a letter back according to Lin Yinyin's instructions, and also sent a telegram, an expedited telegram. Generally, after four or five hours, the eldest sister of the Lin family should know the news that they sent the things back.

The content of the telegram was relatively simple. It just said that the items had been sent back.

Lin Yinyin wrote down in the letter what was left and how much it was, so that her mother would have an idea...

Hayashiya

The eldest sister of the Lin family received an urgent telegram from Lin Jianhe when she was about to get off work in the afternoon. After seeing the content, she hurried home in a hurry. When she arrived downstairs, she happened to meet Lin's mother who had just returned from get off work.

Sister Lin pulled her mother aside and said, "Mom, look at this. The fourth child said he sent us some food. He sent it this morning."

Sister Lin handed the telegram to Mother Lin, her eyes filled with excitement. This food delivery was so timely...

"Send food? When my fifth sister wrote me a while ago, she did tell me that they had distributed food during the autumn harvest. I don't know if they had enough to eat, yet they sent us food!

Your sister is not in good health, and your brother is quite strong, but he earns work points for two people, and their life is worse than ours.

If we send more food to them, what will we do if they go hungry?"

Mother Lin frowned as she looked at the telegram in her hand. A mother worries about her children even when they are thousands of miles away. It’s a question whether they can fill their stomachs and still think about home. They are both good children.

After hearing what Lin's mother said, Sister Lin's face, which was originally full of excitement, suddenly collapsed. Yes! How could she forget that life in the countryside is not as good as theirs!

"I didn't think too much about it... I heard from my colleagues before that they have relatives who went to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province. They said that there is a lot of land and a small population there, so every year when the grain is distributed, they can send a lot of food home, as well as soybean oil and mountain products.

I was thinking... could the fourth brother and his family also send some of this back so that our family could have a better life? The rations at home really aren't enough to eat. Dad's unemployed now, I'm living and eating at my mother's, and my second brother is getting married soon...

Mom, why don’t I just move back home! My older sister-in-law is still living in her parents’ house after getting married. She’ll be laughed at by my younger brother’s wife’s family.”
