"Good. Now, we should send these grains to your Uncle Zhang's house so your uncles can use the bullock cart," Li Chenmo smiled and patted his son's head.
After talking with his adoptive father, Dong Li got a lot of insights and understanding about life. From this mont on, even if he was known as a ruthless person, he always left a way for his enemies to survive which made him t with great fortune.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Zhang Ermu's house. Unlike other families who received large amounts of grain, his family only received 263 kilograms of grain. Because the only one who can work is himself.
As far as this food is concerned, it is far from enough for his family to survive until next year's distribution day. In addition to his parents, he has grandparents to support.
His brother is married and separated from his family. Therefore, he is no longer willing to send food to support his parents, let alone his grandparents.
Entering the front yard, Li Chenmo saw him washing clothes by the well.
Seeing them coming, he wiped his hands and asked, "Brother Chen Mo, why are you here? Didn't Brother Chenze say he wanted to borrow the bullock cart for the whole day?"
After getting off the bullock cart, Li Chenmo said, "Brother Ermu, I'm here to deliver food to you. My family has received a lot of food this year and I can't finish it all."
Seeing the food in the cart, Zhang Ermu was stunned for a mont and said, "Brother Chenmo, I can't accept it. This is too much."
"Brother Ermu, just think of it as helping . If the food is left in the warehouse until it gets moldy, my wife will definitely nag until my ears fall off," Li Chenmo said helplessly.
"This...your wife doesn't seem like soone who would nag you," Zhang Ermu said doubtfully.
When Dong Li saw his adoptive father's actions, he seed to understand sothing. Even if you want to help others, you still have to give them so face so as not to leave any grievance or bad feelings.
So, he quickly said, "Uncle Zhang, it's true. When my mother nags, it takes her a long ti to stop."
After hearing his words, Zhang Ermu hesitated. His family did need the food, but he knew that the food was the result of Li Chenmo's family's hard work. How could he accept them?
Sensing that he wanted to refuse the grain, Li Chenmo added, "Brother Ermu, if you don't accept the grain, then I have to resign myself to fate. When my wife scolds , I will tell her that it is your fault for not helping ."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Li glanced at him and felt that his father was really shaless. He still has a long way to go before he can reach his father's level.
Sure enough, Zhang Ermu also looked helpless when he heard this. He knew that Li Chenmo was helping his family and was looking for an unreasonable excuse.
After he considered the pros and cons, he said, "Brother Chenmo, thank you. I will never forget your help."
"Brother Ermu, you have helped my family so much. This is just my repaynt of your kindness," Li Chenmo said.
After a brief conversation, Li Chenmo and Dong Li helped Zhang Ermu move the grain into the warehouse. With these grains, his family can live a good year.
After moving the grain, Zhang Ermu, Li Chenmo and Dong Li drove the bullock cart back to the fields. They would help the Li brothers and the Lu brothers carry food and pick up their share of at along the way.
For the at shares, they can get 100 grams of at for every 20 work points. As pig raisers, the Li brothers and the Lu brothers are entitled to choose the at first.
When Li Chenmo and Dong Li arrived at the slaughter area, they tied the bullock cart to the tree and went to find their family.
Li Chenze saw him coming and said, "Third brother, you ca at the right ti. They are slaughtering the last pig."
As soon as he finished speaking, the last pig was slaughtered. The villagers were anxiously waiting for the at and kept urging the production team staff to distribute it since it was almost lunch ti.
After recording the at amount of the last pig, Han Yuheng said, "As usual, let the pig farr pick the at first."
Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreent.
"Then, Comrade Li, please make your choice," he added.
"Third brother, this is the bucket prepared by your wife. She said she wanted so pig blood," Zhang Dongi said, handing him a bucket.
Li Chenmo took the bucket, walked to the pile of at, and asked, "Team leader, how much at can I get?"
Han Yuheng checked the list and said, "According to your work points, you can get fifty-three kilograms of at."
When the villagers heard this, they gasped. That's a lot of at!
While everyone was shocked, Li Chenmo looked at the at thoughtfully. One kilogram of at is equivalent to 3 kilograms of bones or 2 liters of blood. There is a lot of at in his wife's space, but the at can be shared with their family.
After a while, he said, "Team leader, I want twenty kilograms of fat at, thirty kilograms of pork belly, six kilograms of bones, and two liters of blood."
The butcher heard this, nodded, and weighed the at. At the sa ti, Li Chenmo used the bucket prepared by his wife to contain pig blood.
After the at is weighed, it is placed in sacks. Dong Li carried the bucket, and Li Chenmo carried the sacks. They did not co back after getting the shares, but waited there.
When the Li brothers and the Lu brothers got the shares, Han Yuheng asked Zhang Ermu to pick first because he knew he was helping them move food.
