When Lin Qingya saw her sister and Li Tong coming in together, she picked up two apples and threw them to them, saying, "Eat the apples quickly. They are very sweet."

Lin Qingyan and Li Tong quickly stretched out their hands to catch the apple. It was a rare thing and it would be a shame if it broke.

Lin Qingyan didn't hesitate and took a bite. Immediately, her beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescents.

Li Tong looked at Lin Qingyan's expression of enjoyment, swallowed his saliva and took a bite, and suddenly the only sound in the room was the crunching sound.

The little ones in the yard were very obedient and ate in the yard. They remembered the last time Banggeng snatched the soda. He Yushui happily ate an apple while looking at her younger brothers and sisters.

Lin Ping came out from the inner room and said with a smile: "Is it really that delicious?"

The three girls nodded their heads continuously when they heard this, but their mouths were filled with apples and they couldn't speak.

Lin Ping knew that these fruits were grown with the Spring of Life Water and must be more delicious than the fruits grown outside. In order to make the fruit trees mature earlier, he added a lot of the Spring of Life Water.

Then he thought of the fact that food also has the fountain of life, but not as much as fruits and vegetables. He would make some for his family to taste later, so he smiled and said, "Li Tong, eat here today, too."

Li Tong shook her head and said, "No, Brother Pingzi, Nana and I will go back to eat. We have everything at home."

Lin Ping didn't force it after hearing this. After all, the relationship between the two families was not that close, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."

He went out to the kitchen, put a bag of rice and a bag of flour in it, then came out and said to Lin Qingyan: "Qingyan, use the flour and rice I brought to cook dinner tonight."

Lin Qingyan nodded and said, "I understand."

Lin Ping naturally would not forget his parents, and he went to the back room and left a bag of flour and a bag of rice for Wang Xiuzhi, saying, "Mom, this is the refined grain I asked my friend to get. You will eat this from now on. Tell me if it's gone."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded and said, "Okay, Mom understands, but don't make any mistakes. Don't forget what Jia Zhang reported last time."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Mom, even if someone reports it, it's okay. Just say that I exchanged it for my meat. Besides, if I hadn't met that scumbag last time, nothing would have happened."

Lin Shanhai at the side said solemnly: "Then you should keep a low profile. It's a different era now. If people know you eat like this, they will surely be jealous."

Lin Ping chuckled and said, "Dad, don't worry. We have food substitutes and coarse grains in the kitchen at home. The fine grains are well hidden. Nothing will happen."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."

After saying that, he opened a small cellar in the kitchen, put some grain in it, and then covered it with bricks, which was seamless.

When we returned to the west wing, the Li Tong sisters had already left, and the children were already gathered around the table waiting for dinner.

Lin Qingyan saw Lin Ping coming back and said with a smile: "Dinner will be served soon."

Don't say that the products of the Kingdom of God are different. They are much more delicious than ordinary noodles. Lin Qingyan asked: "Brother Pingzi, this noodle is really good. It is not only fragrant but also chewy. Where did you get it from?"

Lin Ping explained with a smile: "I got it from a friend. From now on, our family will eat this kind of noodles."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Ping jumped out from the west wing. The reason why he did not go through the front yard was to avoid trouble. Even if Yan Fugui left the door open, he would have to give him some benefits. So it would be better to go out directly from the west wing, which would be safer and less troublesome.

In front of the street office.

Director Wang and a dozen street clerks were waiting at the door. When they saw Lin Ping strolling over, Director Wang came up to him and asked, "Is everything done?"

Lin Ping raised the key in his hand and said, "It's all done. Let's go now."

Director Wang looked at the clerk beside him and said, "Go and drive the car over."

The clerk trotted to drive the car. Lin Ping smiled and said, "Where did Aunt Wang get the car? I thought she was going to use a cart to pull it."

Director Wang rolled his eyes at Lin Ping and said, "How long will it take me to transport 12,000 kilograms of grain with a cart? I borrowed the cart from the district."

After a while, a truck drove over and everyone got on and drove straight to the warehouse.

When he arrived at the warehouse and saw the mountains of grain piled up on the floor, Director Wang said with great sorrow: "Pingzi, you are wasting food."

Lin Ping was helpless. He could control the harvesting and grinding, but he couldn't conjure up bags out of thin air, so he could only pile them on the ground. Seeing Director Wang's distressed look, he said helplessly, "Auntie Wang, we have no choice but to do this because we don't have bags. But I gave you an extra 1,000 kilograms of corn flour as compensation."

When Director Wang heard that there was compensation of 1,000 kilograms of corn flour, he smiled brightly and patted Lin Ping on the shoulder and said, "Okay, thank your friend for me."

After saying that, he turned to the clerks and said, "What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and move the food."

Everyone came to their senses and started working immediately. Although there was no overtime pay for working late at night, everyone was very enthusiastic because Director Wang said that those who worked overtime at night would be given ten kilograms of corn flour.

After working until twelve o'clock, they finally got all the grain back to the street office warehouse. Director Wang brought the accountant to settle the accounts with Lin Ping.

"Pingzi, the total is 1,410 yuan. Count it and see if it's correct."

Director Wang handed Lin Ping a thick stack of banknotes. Lin Ping took it and put it in his pocket without counting it. He said, "What are you counting? Aunt Wang, are you still going to lose money on me?"

Director Wang was even more satisfied after hearing this. He nodded at Lin Ping and said with a smile, "You are a smooth talker, but I just like you like this. Okay, let's go back quickly. It's getting late."

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."

After Lin Ping left, Director Wang pressed his hands together and said, "Originally, they said they would give everyone 10 kilograms of food, but they gave an extra 1,000 kilograms of corn flour, so if you don't mind the taste, you can take 20 kilograms of the lowest corn flour."

Everyone immediately asked for the corn flour below. Ten more pounds of corn flour would be enough to feed the whole family. Besides, the corn flour below was made with great care by them and was basically free of adulteration.

After distributing the food, Director Wang said, "I plan to distribute this extra 1,000 kilograms of corn flour to our street comrades. Of course, you have to pay for it, but it's the market price. Those of you who want to buy it, come and register, and then go and call a few colleagues who are not here."

There were not many people in the street office, and everyone bought dozens of kilograms, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Director Wang continued, "I won't say much about how the food came from. If any of you go out and talk nonsense, you will no longer be a member of our street office!"

Director Wang said this to reduce the trouble for Lin Ping.

Everyone nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be our enemy."

Director Wang pressed his hands together and said, "Our street is allowed to buy unplanned materials. I said this to save Pingzi trouble. If we all ask Pingzi for food, where can he get it? Even if Pingzi gets it, what if he doesn't have it when we are short of materials?"

Everyone said in unison: "Director, we all understand, don't worry."

When Director Wang returned home in the evening, Ma Jianguo was still waiting for her. When he saw her coming back, he asked, "Did everything go smoothly?"

Director Wang rolled her eyes at her husband and asked, "What are you planning?"

Ma Jianguo licked his face when he heard this and said, "Are you asking me for a car to get some unplanned supplies, and the quantity is not small?"

Director Wang looked at Ma Jianguo and said, "Does the material have anything to do with you? Don't try to take advantage of me. The district is much better than our street."

Ma Jianguo was anxious when he heard this: "Why are you being so strong? Many of my colleagues don't have enough to eat. The rations are limited. Food is not easy to buy in Pigeon City right now. There is a food shortage everywhere. We can only endure it. I estimate that the situation may be worse this year. We must be mentally prepared."

Director Wang sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? There is a food shortage everywhere and we don't know when the famine will end."

Then he glared at her and said, "Don't try to take my food. There are so many poor families and relatives of martyrs in the street. I don't even have enough for myself."

Ma Jianguo knew his wife had gotten the food when he heard it, so he begged her, "Yunlan, just give me some."

Director Wang rolled his eyes at Ma Jianguo and said, "Don't try to play tricks on me. I don't care about my life, I want food."

Seeing that his wife was not moved by his persuasion, Ma Jianguo threatened: "If you don't give me food, I will go to the district chief to see if you can still hide it."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was so angry that he reached out and grabbed Ma Jianguo's ear and said, "You are so bold that you dare to threaten me?"

Ma Jianguo covered his ears and said, "Ouch, Yunlan, please be gentle. I can't help it. All my colleagues in the department are swollen. I can't bear to see them."

Director Wang sighed and said, "How much do you want?"

Ma Jianguo stretched out five fingers and said carefully, "How about 500 kilograms?"

Seeing Ma Jianguo's cautious look, Director Wang chuckled. If he only helped Ma Jianguo solve the problem, it wouldn't take much food, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you 500 kilograms, but I'll charge the price of Pigeon Market."

Ma Jianguo nodded repeatedly when he heard this. What's wrong with the price in Pigeon Market? If you can afford it, go buy food for me. So he said to Director Wang, "Okay, let's do it at the price in Pigeon Market."

Ma Jianguo then reacted and realized that if he said he would give 500 kilograms, then how much food did his wife get?

Seeing Ma Jianguo's inquiring eyes, Director Wang immediately said with caution: "The 500 kilograms I can give you is already the limit. Don't be ungrateful. I won't give you these 500 kilograms of food."

Upon hearing this, Ma Jianguo quickly compromised and said, "Okay, I won't ask. I'll bring people to collect food tomorrow. It's not convenient in the district."

Director Wang smiled and nodded, "Okay, just don't forget to pay."

the next morning.

Director Wang sent Ma Jianguo and others away before coming to the courtyard to find Lin Ping.

West across the courtyard.

Seeing Director Wang coming, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, why are you here? Come in and talk."

When they came to the inner room, Director Wang said, "Pingzi, you have helped our street so much. Aunt Wang has nothing to thank you for. There is a textile factory workstation here. Do you need it?"

Lin Ping was worrying about how to arrange Feng Dani. After hearing what Director Wang said, he became more excited and asked, "Auntie Wang, what position?"

Director Wang nodded at Lin Ping and said with a smile: "I knew you were picky. I'm a clerk in the propaganda department of the textile factory. How about it? Are you interested?"

Lin Ping thought that Feng Dani had attended junior high school, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to be a clerk, so he nodded quickly and said, "That's great. My little niece is still in the countryside, and I was just worrying about how to arrange for her. I didn't expect Aunt Wang to do it for me. Thank you, Aunt Wang."
