Chapter 179: Chapter 169 Unwilling

Jiang Xiaoxiao came out and locked the door.

This was a freight station at the train station, with the security office nearby; no one dared to cause trouble here.

She went back to call Li Dahu.

Li Dahu had already discussed with Guo Dongjun.

This grain was considered a loan from them. After the autumn harvest, depending on the results, they would repay a portion first, and the rest bit by bit.

If the relief grain arrived, it would also be used to repay the forestry farm first, balancing the accounts on paper.

Guo Dongjun agreed generously. In the past, it was always the forestry farm asking the production team for help, and it was rare for him to have such leverage.

Besides, when their forestry farm was short of grain in the past, they also borrowed from the production team several times.

It’s just that this time, everyone’s positions were reversed.

Agreeing was easy and pleasant.

Li Dahu was happy too; having grain was indeed a good thing.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s call came back. On this end, Li Dahu hadn’t left the phone’s side even for a step; this was life-saving grain.

"Director, a portion of the grain has arrived, and more will be coming in gradually. There should be 50,000 jin now; send a vehicle to transport it."

Upon hearing this, Guo Dongjun was almost stunned — 50,000 jin! This was no small amount; their forestry farm definitely couldn’t consume 50,000 jin.

"Fifty thousand jin?!"

Li Dahu, upon hearing it, rubbed his hands in excitement.

He signaled with his eyes — the more, the better!

There were so many educated youth in their production team, and the farm wasn’t just their team; other teams were short of grain too.

At this moment, one couldn’t just think of oneself; given the chance, of course, it was important for other production teams to benefit as well.

People at this time had a strong collective mindset and weren’t selfishly individualistic.

The larger community was often seen as the highest priority in their hearts.

Who feared having too much grain!

Seeing Li Dahu’s eager expression, Guo Dongjun found it amusing.

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, wait there; I’ll immediately arrange for a vehicle. Let’s hurry and transport the grain away as soon as possible. The sooner we get it moved, the better, or else if the county hears about it, who knows if they’ll intercept it."

Guo Dongjun was anxious.

Who didn’t know about the shortage?

The bandit-like behavior of the county demanded self-sufficiency. If they found out we had a way to get grain, it’d be strange if they just stood by.

They knew what sort of people the county leaders were over the years.

Now, with disasters all around the county, the county leaders were likely fretting over grain shortages too.

If they knew there was a way to get grain here, they’d certainly intercept it.

The grain had to be transported back to their forestry farm quickly to be secure.

After hanging up with Jiang Xiaoxiao, Guo Dongjun started contacting the transportation team.

Jiang Xiaoxiao waited in the freight yard.

She wondered where Song Moting had gone?

This guy had left without a word, saying he went to the county to find someone, and then vanished.

It was too much.

Could something have happened?

Jiang Xiaoxiao got lost in her thoughts for a bit and ended up waiting for Guo Dongjun and Li Dahu in the afternoon.

Following closely, Li Dahu, worried Guo Dongjun might overlook them, brought a bunch of educated youth themselves to help transport the grain — a chance to see if there truly was so much grain.

They came with a truck and two tractors.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the director excitedly waving.

"Here, here!"

Guo Dongjun and the group marched in grandly.

Seeing the sacks of grain piled up inside, especially smelling the familiar scent of rice, warmed Guo Dongjun’s heart.

When was grain not precious to the people?

"Xiaoxiao, you’re amazing; you’ve saved the lives of thousands in our farm. Come on, everyone, don’t just rest, get to work quickly; the sooner we come back, the better."

Guo Dongjun started directing.

A dozen educated youth jumped off the truck.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw He Aiguo and Gu Dali among them.

"You’ve come."

He Aiguo smiled, "The director asked for a few strong young men to help transport grain; of course, we came as soon as we heard. You’re truly capable. We won’t have to go with hungry stomachs this time."

Gu Dali hoisted a sack, the heavy grain pressing on his shoulder; no one complained of fatigue.

Knowing it was filled with shining rice, he’d be willing to die of exhaustion.

Even though they still had some chicken, rabbit meat, and eggs for supplementing.

But without grain, just eating meat was unbearable.

It was once called porridge, but there were so few grains of rice in a bowl of porridge now.

The young lads worked energetically and enthusiastically.

Watching this scene, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt happy too.

Someone, however, approached her.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao! I didn’t expect you to be so capable; you’re from Jingbei, I’m from Jingbei too. How come we’ve never met? I live in the provincial government compound. Where do you live?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up, Zhang Chaoyang.

He approached her with a grin.

"We’re just in ordinary staff housing, obviously not comparable to someone from a provincial government compound like you. We’re not in the same class, naturally won’t run into each other. Also, hurry up and get to work, you big man! Everyone else is panting away; you’ve come over to me — are you trying to slack off?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t polite at all.

How could she not know what kind of person Zhang Chaoyang was?

This Zhang Chaoyang was quite proud, probably still stewing over the last time he failed to woo her.

This was his way of trying to win her over again.

Zhang Chaoyang was infuriated by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words.

Is this Jiang Xiaoxiao even a woman?

Was she blind?

Not even taking a good look at who he was!

He was Zhang Chaoyang! With his looks and family background, many people would love to approach him!

Didn’t she see those female educated youth hanging around him, buzzing like they’d been injected with adrenaline?

Yet this Jiang Xiaoxiao made him stumble several times.

At first, he thought Jiang Xiaoxiao was just playing hard to get, assuming she might have some interest in him inside.

He’d seen many like that.

But who knew she didn’t pay any attention to him at all.

After a winter passed, on their first meeting, he heard the unexpected news that Jiang Xiaoxiao managed to get grain for the forestry farm.

Although it was bartering lumber for grain, in such a dire situation, anyone who could manage this had to have some connections.

Even with his family’s background, getting grain wasn’t as simple as wanting it and getting it.

In times of material shortages, you needed the right tickets and vouchers for everything.

Even officials couldn’t just demand grain and get it.

Yet Jiang Xiaoxiao really got it done, and seeing how seriously the forestry farm director and production team leader took it, he knew it was not a joke.

And now seeing a house full of grain, how could he not realize she really pulled it off?

Within a few days, the train had already transported the grain, and he heard there was more to come.

He couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xiaoxiao with newfound respect, realizing she genuinely wasn’t interested in him.

Anxiously scratching his head, he was eager to understand just who Jiang Xiaoxiao really was.

But she revealed nothing, responding to his questions with self-deprecation, claiming to be from an ordinary worker family.

How could that be, nonsense!

If every child from an ordinary worker family were this capable, he’d gladly be one too.
