Chapter 266 Paying Public Taxes 2

Since all the carts were full, many strong laborers carried shoulder poles, with bamboo baskets and sacks filled with grain.

Some strong women who were strong and energetic also followed, carrying shoulder poles on their shoulders.

Then, Wang Zhengguo arranged for older people and some half-grown children to drive the carts. Basically, men, women, young and old went out together. The spectacular scene opened the eyes of Feng Qingxue, who had never seen it before.

Feng Qingxue was puzzled by everyone's enthusiastic behavior.

Whether carrying shoulder poles or driving carts, people had to walk on their own two legs, which must be very hard.

After asking the reason, she suddenly realized.

It turned out that the state stipulated the time for paying public grain, and it must be delivered to the grain station in these few days, so time was very tight. They lined up at the grain management office and waited for acceptance. The grain management office would accept it if it was qualified, and it would be sent back if it was not qualified.

No wonder they were in a hurry to pay public grain before all the corn cobs were rubbed.

Chen Ming was in the grain management office, and the grain of Wanglou Brigade had always been good, and it had not been beaten back in recent years.

At that time, people were very simple and honest, thinking about the country, and the grain they handed over to the country must be the best, so unless they encountered natural disasters or man-made disasters, the grain they handed over was full and impeccable.

Therefore, those who went to pay the public grain could record ten work points. During the queue to pay the public grain, when it was time to eat, they could use the extra grain they brought to exchange for lunch at the state-owned restaurant near the grain management office. In summer, they could exchange wheat for steamed buns, dumplings and noodles, and in autumn, they could exchange rice and corn for two-grain steamed buns or rice.

Except for festivals, every household could not eat fine grains on weekdays and was reluctant to eat them, so they waited for the day of paying the public grain to have a feast.

The most important point is that they can save a meal for the family.

Jiang He naturally would not miss such an opportunity. Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun also followed Lu's father to drive the cart to pull grain. They did not come back until late at night and brought a few rice balls stuffed with white rice and sauerkraut for Feng Qingxue and her brother.

"Aunt, everyone got a pound of rice balls, they are delicious, you should try them." Lu Tianjun said to Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue was very touched. The things were not much, but the thought was precious.

Obviously, there was definitely more than one person who did the same thing as the two brothers.

Guan Cheng nodded to prove her guess, "Everyone got some, but many people were reluctant to eat them. They were so hungry that they took the dry food they brought with them to fill their stomachs, saying that they would take the rice balls home for their children to eat, or make a pot of porridge for the whole family to eat together."

Jiang He was reluctant to eat them, saying that he would take them back to make porridge for everyone to taste the taste of rice.

Feng Qingxue felt sour in her heart when she heard this, and smiled gently, "It's a good idea. Let's make porridge tomorrow morning. You are tired all day, go and soak your feet. I boiled a lot of hot water and put it in the pot for you to come back. After washing your feet, go and rest. You can all rest tomorrow." He asked Lu Tianjun to send a pot of hot water to Lu's father first, and he waited until the two children fell asleep before turning off the lights and going to bed.

The next morning, she kept her promise and cooked a pot of porridge with rice balls and cut some bacon into it.

The taste was so delicious that the children drank bowl after bowl of it. They didn't want to eat the coarse grain steamed bread that made their throats hurt. "It's better to eat the food cooked by my aunt at home. I wish we didn't have to eat out anymore."

After listening to Lu Tianzhi's words, Guan Yu and Feng Qingyun nodded one after another, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "When the food is distributed, we will cook and eat at home."
