The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 136 Food coupons given by Feng Hua
Sometimes it’s okay to let your loved ones calculate a little, because you can’t bring anything with you when you are born and you can’t take anything with you when you die.

"During the Chinese New Year or other holidays, we will bring our second son to visit you. I'm receiving treatment at a hospital in the city, and the doctor said I can be cured this year. It's fine if Yuxia and I want to honor you, but just tell me the amount." Jiang Changhe said.

It is normal for parents to be partial to one another in rural areas. Jiang Changhe can compromise with his parents, but that does not mean he can compromise with his eldest brother Jiang Dahai.

Jiang Dahai's eating habits were so ugly back then, so he could share the responsibility of supporting his parents in their old age, even if his parents left all their things to Jiang Dahai.

But it was unreasonable to give Jiang Dahai half of his savings. Besides, his parents were only in their fifties at that time and were in good health. Not only did they not need old-age care, they were also helping everyone.

Although my parents were partial to Jiang Dahai at that time, they helped him more, but at least Jiang Changhe's children were their grandchildren, so they took care of them a little.

Jiang Santian and Liu Hualian had never expected that their son, who they had not seen for many years, would agree so readily. They could also see that Jiang Changhe was filial to them. After all, he was their biological son. When they came here today, they thought that if Jiang Changhe confronted them, they would make a scene.

"Changhe, how about this? Give us three dollars a month and ten kilograms of food." Liu Hualian spoke up to negotiate at this time. Her son valued them, so as a mother she would not speak in a harsh tone.

When rural people get old and can no longer work, the commune will take care of them, but the food they get is very little, so they can buy some with their own money, so they will ask for some money.

The amount of grain asked for was reasonable, but three yuan was actually a bit much in the countryside. But Jiang Changhe understood what his parents meant, because they had a son who drove a car in the city.

Jiang Changhe cannot make the decision on giving three dollars every month now, and he needs to discuss it with his son.

But today Jiang Changhe asked Zhao Yuxia to go back to her room and get five yuan and ten kilograms of food. He even took out the canned meat that Zhou Lingying brought back yesterday and gave it to his parents.

After giving them the things, Jiang Changhe also told them directly that the three yuan per month had to be discussed. Moreover, he was now seeing a doctor in the city, which would also cost his son a lot of money. Even if he could agree to give the money, it would have to be after his son was well-off. He had just started working and had a lot of things to buy, so where would he get so much spare money.

Jiang Santian and Liu Hualian also felt that what their son said made sense, not to mention that they and some relatives wanted to get close to Jiang Cheng. Things had to be done slowly, and they couldn't force their grandson Jiang Cheng from the beginning.

The two chatted for a while, mainly asking about Jiang Cheng's situation in the city. After getting some information, they took the money, food and canned food and left.

Every family has its own problems. Now that they are gone, Jiang Changhe and Zhao Yuxia still have to think about how to face Jiang Cheng.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Cheng drove Feng Hua back to Nanluoyuan in Changcheng.

"Don't go to the transportation station this afternoon. When you go to the unit tomorrow, just say that we will come back in the afternoon and unload the goods at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative until around five o'clock. Do you understand?" Jiang Cheng said to Feng Hua after parking the car.

"I understand, Master." Feng Hua responded immediately.

As soon as Jiang Cheng said this, he understood it. In fact, Feng Hua's father was the same. He always drove back to the door of his house. If he came back in the morning, he would at least go out in the afternoon. If he came back in the afternoon, he would go to work the next morning.

"Okay, you can go. Take a reed mat with you, and also take some bean curd skin with you. Don't go out for the first time and come back with nothing." Jiang Cheng said.

The reed mats were given to him by someone who was pulling them. The quality wasn't top quality, but it wasn't the worst either. The market price was probably only a few cents. In the reed mat weaving factory, the main cost was probably labor. When they saw two people driving the car, they gave him two reed mats. As for the bean curd, Jiang Cheng randomly packed some in a net bag. It was less than a pound, so he just considered it as a gift.

"Master, thank you for your care. This is for you."

"Okay, I'll take this Master. Let's go quickly. I also need to pack up and go back to the yard."

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, he didn't expect Feng Hua to give him two kilograms of fine grain coupons. But they were urban grain coupons, which could only be used within the city. Yesterday, he only used more than two kilograms of grain coupons, but they were provincial grain coupons, which he exchanged at work. As long as he didn't leave the province, he could use them.

In this era, everyone ate rations and there was not enough food, so if you invited people to dinner, you had to give them food coupons. You could afford to pay for the dinner, but you really couldn't afford the food coupons.

Not to mention outsiders, sometimes when I invited relatives to dinner, they would give me food coupons.

Jiang Cheng didn't pretend to be generous. He just kept the food coupons Feng Hua gave him.

Letting Feng Hua go and not inviting him to his home for dinner was, first of all, a very normal thing in this era. Most people would not easily go to other people's homes for dinner, or because there was not enough food. On the other hand, Jiang Cheng wanted to wait for Feng Hua to leave and then get something out.

After seeing Feng Hua leave, Jiang Cheng thought for a while. The pigs he got from the farm were only killed but not dissected. The internal organs were sorted out, and it would be nice to fry the liver or heart.

I plan to get a fish, and I also want some meat. If I can't get pork, I can get mutton. There are three sheep in the space. I'll get one out, and leave some for Zhu Lan to deal with.

Last time Zhu Lan got him a flashlight. Now Jiang Cheng has a flashlight at home and also has a flashlight stored in the space.

So in the car, Jiang Cheng took out a sack, and then a slaughtered, skinned and gutted sheep appeared in the sack. After the sheep appeared, four pig hearts appeared in the sack. The internal organs were just sorted at the time, and Jiang Cheng also sorted them into the space.

After the four pig hearts appeared, Jiang Cheng took back three of them, and finally put a black carp in. The black carp was still alive and kicking, so Jiang Cheng caught it and knocked it on a hard surface to make it stop moving, and then got out of the car with the things.

It was not yet time for dinner, and there were many children playing in the alley. Many of them saw Jiang Cheng and politely called him Uncle Jiang.

Children of this era are naughty, but they are also polite. Unfortunately, they are not delicate. Jiang Cheng likes children who look like porcelain dolls. If there is such a child, he will definitely buy popsicles or milk candies for the child just by saying "uncle".

When Jiang Cheng returned to the yard, he saw Zhou Lingying chatting with a woman at the door. Even though the distance was a bit far, the woman seemed to be Chen Li, the daughter-in-law of the family where Zhou Lingying had thrown feces.

Jiang Cheng appeared in the yard with a sack, a reed mat and a small bundle of bean curd skin, which was very easy to attract people's attention.

The woman who was chatting with Zhou Lingying left immediately after seeing Jiang Cheng appear, and indeed returned to Li Meihong's house. She was indeed someone else's daughter-in-law. Jiang Cheng was very surprised that he could still chat with someone else's daughter-in-law after throwing feces on her. His daughter-in-law was really capable.

　Spoiler alert, the unit will be changed soon, it will be a new instance~~
