Chapter 16 Delivery
After seeing Qi Mazi off, Lu Feng felt a little satisfied. Although he had a lot of food and drink in the Lu family, he just wanted to be full and didn't think about anything else. As for money to buy some other things, it was impossible, after all, there was not much that could be taken out at home.
The next morning, after Lu Feng had breakfast at home, he cleaned up his daily necessities with the help of his mother Chen Lian, mainly clothes. As for the food, Lu Feng did not bring much.
Chen Lian said worriedly while cleaning up: "How can you take care of yourself when you go to the county town? I am not worried about the rest. What should I do if I just eat?"
"Mom, don't worry, I can take good care of myself. You don't have to worry about eating. I found a classmate and told him to go to his house to eat every day. Then I'll give him some food coupons and money."
Lu Feng reached out to hug Chen Lian's shoulder, hoping to relieve Chen Lian's worries in his heart.
Chen Lian sighed lightly and said, "How can I compare to my own family in other people's houses? Otherwise, I'll cook for you!"
After saying this, Lu Feng hurriedly refused, "No, no, mom, you can't leave. When you leave, the villagers will definitely find that it will be difficult to explain. In addition, when you leave, there will definitely be someone on the team to gossip. If we don't give our work points, we will not be able to get the food at the end of the year."
He couldn't let Chen Lian follow him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to protect his business. According to Lu Weiguo's temperament, he might break his legs.
Chen Lian didn't take the previous words seriously, but when he heard that he had no work points and could not allocate grain, he hesitated and said, "Yes, if I leave, I will definitely not have any work points. If I can't allocate grain then, it will be difficult for our family to do it."
"Yes, I want you to take care of me, but if you leave without caring about anything, then our family will have nothing to eat next year, so you will definitely not be able to leave."
Lu Feng looked regretful, but his heart was filled with laughter. Even if he didn't go today, he couldn't let Chen Lian follow him.
"Is that classmate of yours reliable? Are there many brothers and sisters in the family? Can you have enough food?"
Chen Lian asked worriedly, she was worried that Lu Feng’s family would have too many brothers and sisters and would not have enough food at that time, that would be awful.
"It's reliable. He and his father are the only ones in his family. His mother was gone back then. He was the only one at home in the past few years, and his father was burning the boiler in the factory, so he was the only one at home. Then I would cook with him."
"Oh, you two are just doing it, can you do it? Don't be able to eat at that time, what should I do?"
After all, Lu Feng had never left her much, so he suddenly realized that his son was about to leave him, and he was worried. Lu Feng was not by her side when he went to high school, but at that time there was a place for food and accommodation in the school. What's more, Lu Feng only attended high school for half a year, and then went to school at home because the school went bankrupt.
"Don't worry, mom, there's definitely no problem. Besides, didn't you agree that I'll be back once every two days? There won't be any problems."
Seeing that Lu Feng was determined to go to the county town, Chen Lian could only sigh lightly, then got up and went into the inner room.
"Come on, if you take these ten kilograms of food coupons and one dollar, you will give them all to your classmates. If the money is, you can just give them 50 cents. Having these is basically enough for your monthly meals, and I will give them to you next month."
Chen Lian pulled out a few food coupons from a wrapped handkerchief, then took out one piece of paper coupon at the bottom and handed it to Lu Feng.
In small cities like them in the 18th tier, the purchasing ability of one dollar is still very strong. In rural areas, one dollar is enough for a family to spend one or two months, so don’t think that one dollar is less.
Lu Feng was not polite. Although he had enough money on hand now, he knew very well that if he didn't take the money, Chen Lian would definitely be worried. Maybe it would cause a series of reactions, so he would still hold it honestly.
With Chen Lian's reluctance, Lu Feng left with the clothes that Chen Lian had packed for him.
Walking on the way to the county town, Lu Feng was in a good mood.
There were many people I met along the way, but none of them were cars. Occasionally there was a tractor full of people. Lu Feng's wish to take a ride was also dashed.
He was finally able to realize how majestic it was to have a bicycle at home in this era.
Lu Feng first put his luggage back to his grandfather's house, and then borrowed a push cart from the supply and marketing cooperative, at the cost of sending out two packs of Caidian cigarettes and a deposit of two yuan.
After all, a push-cart is not cheap. If it is really lost, the supply and marketing cooperative will not explain it to its superiors.
But with two packs of colorful butterflies, it is different from two yuan. Two packs of cigarettes fall into the pocket of the head of the supply and marketing cooperative. As for the two yuan, as long as the cart is pushed, it will definitely be returned to Lu Feng. If the cart is pushed but not delivered, he has an excuse, which can be said to be rented to Lu Feng. As a result, Lu Feng was greedy for the cheapness and turned the car against his conscience.
So whether Lu Feng delivers it or not, it will have little impact on him. On the contrary, he will end up with two packs of cigarettes, which is one pack per dollar.
The head of the supply and marketing cooperative touched the two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, raised his lips slightly, and then said to a salesperson: "If that kid comes to return the car later, remember to call me from behind."
After saying that, he walked backwards with the master and prepared to start his "busy" day of work.
Here, Lu Feng borrowed a cart to push the cart and returned home to put two large boxes of cigarettes on the cart, and then covered it with a broken rain cloth, which is also to prevent anyone from having any ideas on the road.
Lu Feng, who was worried along the way, did not dare to look around, and kept pulling the cart forward with his head down.
After nearly an hour and a half, Lu Feng arrived at Qi Mazi's house. His clothes were sweaty at this moment. You should know that it was still February and the weather was still cold. You can imagine how nervous Lu Feng was on the way.
He knocked on Qi Mazi's door, and then sat on the ground with his butt when he saw Qi Mazi.
"Oh, what's wrong, this is okay!" Qi Mazi rushed forward and wanted to help Lu Feng, but Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, take down the goods in the car first, I'll sit for a while."
Seeing that Lu Feng was unwilling to move, Qi Mazi had to unload the goods first. Two large boxes of cigarettes were carried in two trips.
At this time, Lu Feng also slowed down, grabbed Qi Mazi's hand that was stretching out, and stood up from the ground.
"It's okay!"
"It's okay, I'm afraid that someone will make an idea along the way, so I trotted over. I'm a little tired and nothing big."
Fortunately, Lu Feng was deliberately exercising his body in this era, so he did not experience soreness all over his body.
