Chapter 172 Thank You
Speaking of the problem of food shortage or not, Mrs. Guo and Gao’s mother couldn’t help but appreciate each other.
"To be honest, it's not easy to live in the city. Do you know how many kilograms of our food supply?" she asked Gao's mother.
Gao’s mother shook her head: “No matter what, urban households eat imperial grains, and they can ensure income when they are drought and flood!”
Mrs. Guo whispered and said, "Fifteen kilograms! You say, what is the 15 kilogram of food for an adult? Who doesn't know that our Northeastern people have a big appetite? Not to mention strong labor, even a young wife, fifteen kilograms of food for her is not enough for her to eat! The children of every household are so hungry that they drink water to relieve hunger and cry at night."
Seeing the sadness on Mrs. Guo’s face, Honghua heard this and said in surprise: “Is it only fifteen kilograms?”
"No!" Mrs. Guo complained, "Ordinary citizens who have no jobs only provide 15 kilograms of food. Three parts fine and seven parts thick, but the fine grain supply is insufficient! My old man and my son do heavy industry, and the supply is higher, but they have a big appetite and rely on their hometown to support us. Our family has to survive until now. Our black soil is extremely fertile, a province with a large grain production. It was not the disaster last year. What caused it? It was not to support Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai that we were hungry. I heard that if there were no patriots in Wutong City that donated billions of kilograms of food to the country and pointed out the disaster areas in various places, Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai each received 100 million kilograms of fine grain, and our city could not even provide 15 kilograms of food. The leaders were ready to transfer grain, but later it was cancelled because of this, and the grain that was prepared to be transferred was left to the locals."
Honghua was stunned, "Wutong City? Leizi, Leizi, Wutong City is Comrade Xia's hometown? No wonder he sent us thirty kilograms of grain coupons in one breath, it must be that they have sufficient food supply in Wutong City."
"He learned to cook. I heard that he worked in a big hotel and had some inventory in his hands." Gao Lei said.
It was easier for him to accept the kindness of his comrades.
At the same time, the gratitude to Xia Mingxing will not be reduced because Wutong City has sufficient food supply, because Xia Mingxing gives him not only money and goodwill, but the lives of the whole family!
Gao's mother suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from her arms, opened it and handed it to him, "Your father and I can't read, and only read the things and remittance slips. You sent me money when you were in the army, but I recognized it. I don't know what Comrade Xia wrote in the letter, you can read it yourself and tell us."
Gao Lei finished watching from beginning to end and laughed.
"Xia Mingxing said that he didn't wait to use money, so that we could not have any psychological burden. Let me recover well and drive me up the mountain tomorrow to get some mountain goods for him. He said that he had a partner who was very kind and that most of the nutritional supplements were given by his partner. His partner was in school and had no other hobbies, so he liked to eat in one bite."
Speaking of this, Gao Lei said to his parents: "We have to have some mountain products, right? You can send them to him when you go home."
Gao's mother nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I packed up a bag of dried mushrooms. The dried fungus was originally planned to be sent to the city purchase station to exchange for money to save the surgery fee for you. Now if you have the money sent by your comrades, we won't sell it, give it to him all!"
Although it is a bag of mountain goods, it can’t be exchanged for a lot of money locally, and it is even more precious than food.
After the food coupons and nutritional supplements sent to them by Xia Mingxing, Mrs. Guo finished the transaction with Mrs. Guo. Gao’s father and mother’s mule cart pulled a sack of dried sweet potatoes back to the village overnight. The gratitude for Xia Mingxing was self-evident.
Xia Mingxing didn't know that a bag of Northeast Mountain Goods was coming soon. He was dating Li Xingxing in the small garden of Li's house.
There was no way, Li Xiuhong was worried about letting her daughter go out.
Chapter completed!
