He had good luck this time, being able to secure a good cut of meat. In addition to that, he also managed to buy a serving of pig liver and a large clump of pig blood.
In fact, those parts were specially saved for him by the butchering team’s leader. It was going to be sold to anyone, so even though the cuts were purchased at the same price, the butchering leader thought it would be good to build a good relationship with him.
After buying, Han Qingsong went to the grain management office again, and he was going to buy two catties of loose wine and soy sauce.
Wine and soy sauce should be considered as non-staple foods, so they were generally sold in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The Grain Management Offices were in charge of managing those businesses from the second half of the year. Even so, no matter who sold them, the members didn’t have a problem with— as long as the prices didn’t rise.
After buying the items, he placed them in a basket, strapped it to the back seat of his bike and went straight home.
Lin Lan took Sanwang and Xiaowang to pack up and move. Dawang went to work, picking corn whereas Erwang and Maisui went to collect some cotton.
“There’s meat, it’ll improve our food tonight,” Seeing that Han Qingsong came back with so many things, Lin Lan was very happy as she hurried over to help unload them.
Xiaowang led Wangwang to the bicycle, “We can eat the meat dregs later.”
The half a catty of meat truly wasn’t wasted. After cooking it, there was half a bowl of meat residue left. Lin Lan made it for her children before and they remembered the fragrance of the food even to this day.
“I’ll make it for you in the evening,” Lin Lan tapped the tip of his nose, “I’ll feed all my children till they’re fat.”
Wangwang, “Bark, bark~~”
“I’ll give you a mouthful of broth,” Lin Lan gently touched Wangwang with the tip of her toe.
Wangwang had grown into a pastoral dog with a beautiful coat. It looked very honest and reliable, but retained a soft and cute image like Xiaowang.
Han Qingsong, “We can move the culinary items and the bedding materials; I’ll move everything else later.”
Lin Lan agreed, stating that after the meal, she would move the pot and make dinner in the new home that night.
Han Qingsong wanted to help her move the items, but Lin Lan hurriedly said, “You should go to work first, I’ll do it myself.”
He was very strong, so even if he went now, he could earn more than 10 work points despite starting off late. Generally, when the seasons get busy and tense, in order to encourage the members to work faster and harder, the team would also divide the work and set a number of work points for the members to claim. Members who finished their share of work in the Commune could earn more work points by joining in the efforts.
As long as they have the strength and were sure to finish the work within the limited time, they could basically claim those points for themselves, which would naturally be worth more than their usual work points.
Han Qingsong put the belongings down and let her clean up by herself.
Lin Lan saw that there were red dates and grabbed a handful for Sanwang and Xiaowang while she went to clean up the house.
Han Qingsong followed suit and handed her the underwear he bought.
Lin Lan… he actually bought me underwear!
She reached out to take it from him, but he didn’t let it go. She raised her eyes to meet his burning hot eyes.
Lin Lan, “…We’ve been husband and wife for so long already, geez…” So why are you acting like we just started dating? That’s… too late, isn’t it?
