Chapter 124 I Like Myself
The province, city, county and commune all gave us a thick brown paper bag.
The first thing Wen Xi looked at was the reward from the province, which contained a notebook, a pen, five hundred yuan, meat coupons, grain coupons, sugar coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons.
The rewards given by the city are relatively smaller than those from the province, but standard equipment such as notebooks and pens are required, as well as four hundred yuan and some tickets.
Except for the three hundred yuan in cash, the rest of the things from the county are almost the same.
It is true that each level gives less than the previous one, but it is also very good, because this is the income of an ordinary worker in one or two years, and the total amount added up is the total income of urban residents in one or two years.
Afterwards, Wen Xi began to check the rewards given by the army, which were five hundred yuan and some national tickets with no date restrictions.
The reward from the Public Security Bureau was much more practical, including a five-pound piece of pork belly, two big fat pig's trotters, and a brand new teacup with the five big characters "Serve the People" engraved on it, as well as a bicycle ticket, a watch ticket, and a reward of two hundred yuan.
Because Secretary Li came suddenly and did not inform Captain Qian in advance, Captain Qian did not know about these things. Secretary Li and his colleagues held a commendation meeting as soon as they arrived. Captain Qian did not have time to prepare rewards for Wen Xi, and did not know whether there would be any subsequent rewards.
After reading it, Wen Xi put the money and things into the system warehouse, then took the ticket to Shen Jiaojiao's room, called Jiang Yue over, and the three of them sat on Shen Jiaojiao's bed.
Wen Xi put a stack of tickets on Shen Jiaojiao's quilt and said, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, take a look at what tickets you need. I plan to take the remaining tickets to Captain Qian to exchange for some rice."
Wenxi did not take out the national ticket, because there was no date restriction on it. All she took out were ordinary tickets with date restrictions. She had no use for these tickets, so she might as well sell them to the team!
Seeing Jiang Yue hesitating, Wen Xi asked in confusion, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong? Don't you have the ticket you want?"
Jiang Yue looked embarrassed. "Xiaoxi, you know, my family only gave me 30 yuan when I went to the countryside. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have a place to eat."
"Didn't we agree to pay off debts with merits? So you didn't rely on us, but on your own labor." Wen Xi patted Jiang Yue's shoulder, signaling her not to think too much. Once she got stuck in a dead end, the relationship between the three of them would be bad in the future. "We have just arrived not long ago and have not yet fully integrated into the local environment. After a while, we will see if we can find a way to make money."
When Jiang Yue heard this, her eyes lit up obviously, and then she nodded, but she didn't take the ticket, because she was now eating and drinking with Wen Xi and didn't want anything.
Wen Xi took the cloth coupons, candy coupons, and cake coupons and stuffed them into Jiang Yue's hands. "When you have money, buy some cloth and make yourself two sets of clothes. Buy some candy and cakes to keep. You can fill your stomach when you are hungry. No one likes us, so we should like ourselves, be good to ourselves, and make sure there is no regret in our lives."
"Xiaoxi, thank you." Jiang Yue said gratefully, holding the ticket.
How could she be so lucky to have such a good friend?
Shen Jiaojiao also took cloth coupons, sugar coupons and pastry coupons, because they didn't need the other coupons much and there was no point in keeping them. They ate meat for two out of three meals a day, so there was no need to go to the state-owned restaurant for a feast. Besides, the chefs in the state-owned restaurant were not as skilled as Wen Xi!
After Shen Jiaojiao got the ticket, Wen Xi returned to the room.
The next morning, Wen Xi took the tickets to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Qian, "Captain Qian, these tickets are rewards given to me by the province and the city. I took some that I can use. Can I exchange the ones that I can't use for rice?"
"Wenxi, are you really going to use these tickets to exchange for rice?" Captain Qian took a look at the tickets and was extremely excited. There were meat tickets, bicycle tickets and watch tickets among them. These tickets were extremely rare and could be exchanged for a lot of money, especially bicycle tickets and watch tickets.
Wen Xi nodded seriously.
Captain Qian was delighted. "Okay, I'll discuss with the accountant how much rice these tickets can be exchanged for, and I'll arrange for someone to deliver the rice to you when the time comes."
"Captain Qian, I don't want all rice. I want half rice and half coarse grains." Wen Xi said. If all the rice is exchanged for rice, it will not be enough. It is better to eat it together with coarse grains.
Captain Qian nodded, "Wenxi, don't worry, uncle will definitely make arrangements for you."
After the matter was settled, Wenxi went back. She could see busy figures in the rice fields from afar. Wenxi left the brigade headquarters quickly because she was hated for not having to go to work. After what happened yesterday, no one dared to do anything, but they could not help but discuss her in private. There are many people in this world who eat with a bowl in their hands and curse their mothers when they put the bowl down.
Then when it was getting dark in the evening, Captain Qian and the accountant personally delivered food to Wenxi, including 400 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 200 kilograms of cornmeal.
This place does not belong to the north, but also not to the south, but to the central region. The climate is suitable and the temperature is consistent. Some people like to eat rice, some people like to eat pasta, and both rice and wheat can be grown, but the yield is not that high. Eating rice and pasta alone cannot fill the stomach, so coarse grains are needed to fill the stomach.
Coarse grains include corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Sweet potatoes and potatoes can be eaten directly by steaming, but corn needs to be ground into cornmeal instead of being boiled directly with corn kernels to make corn grits porridge like in the Northeast.
Therefore, Wen Xi had no objection to Captain Qian's self-advocacy in the combination.
Captain Qian and the accountant moved the food into the house. After they left, Wen Xi divided the food into four parts, one for the kitchen and one for each of their three rooms. This way, when she was not at home, she would not have to worry about Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue not being able to cook. She also did not have to worry that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would secretly send the food back home.
They are not stupid. It is impossible for them to treat themselves badly and then try to please those unworthy people in their family.
Time passed day by day, and the spring ploughing season was soon to come. However, before the ploughing, Zhao Jianguo came and called Wen Xi to go to Jin Changfeng's house.
Because there has always been someone taking care of Jin Changfeng here, although Wen Xi lives next door, he has never come to see Jin Changfeng because he is afraid of being retaliated by Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying's family is powerful, and killing her is as easy as killing an ant. If Jin Changfeng was not afraid of Zhu Ying and the Zhu family, he would never have become siblings with Wen Xi.
Who would want to be a sibling with the person they love? He wants to be husband and wife, he wants to work towards this goal, and one day, he wants to be in a high position so that he doesn't have to fear the existence of anyone.
