Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1023: Handing Over Grain to the State

New book "Reborn: Not Your Perfect Wife" seeking collection and recommendation!Station Chief Liu was still looking for people to help, checking each bag carefully.

Jiang Xinyu was watching by the scale, directly taking notes in a notebook. The first page of the notebook recorded the numbers before coming, showing they brought 370 pounds more than the stipulated amount this time.

After about more than a thousand pounds, Jiang Xinyu suddenly spoke up, "Comrade, please wait a minute."

The person balancing the scales looked at Jiang Xinyu.

"Comrade, the numbers don’t match with ours; could you check if the scale isn’t level, or what happened?"

"Your numbers?"

Jiang Xinyu stared at him, "Yes, I checked the numbers before coming here, after all, these are the results of our hard work, we are just responsible for delivering public grain, everyone needs to know the numbers."

"If that’s the case, then let’s change to someone else." Showing signs of giving up.

Jiang Xinyu’s face remained very calm. "Comrade, we are supporting national construction; we were the first to come."

At this time Yang Zhongyi came over, "Sis, what’s going on?"

"It’s nothing, just discussing with this comrade to switch scales, as I feel the numbers don’t match ours."

"This is easy, if I weigh them myself, I’d know. I weighed them before coming."

Li Yungui and Station Chief Liu also came over.

"Station chief, you came at just the right time, this fellow says the scale has an issue."

"Village Chief Li?"

Li Yungui didn’t answer but looked at Jiang Xinyu, "Teacher Jiang?"

"Village Chief Li, more than a thousand pounds have been weighed so far. I weighed everything myself in the morning; I know the weight of each bag by heart.

Also, my point isn’t questioning the scale, but asking the comrade if the scale isn’t level."

Li Yungui smiled at Station Chief Liu. "She’s our village’s teacher, a college graduate.

Station Chief Liu, maybe the scale isn’t used often, shall we recalibrate?"

"Haha, okay, it’s the first time we’ve encountered this in years. Since you have doubts, let’s switch the scales."

Yang Zhongyi stood beside Jiang Xinyu, waiting for the second scale to be pushed over. He called over two juniors to place five bags back on the previous scale.

He personally balanced the scales, then had them put the bags on the second scale. The result was a difference of thirteen pounds for those five bags.

"Station Chief Liu, the scale indeed has an issue," said Yang Zhongyi with a smile.

"Turns out there really was a difference, but the previous grains have already been poured into the granary, so just let it go. From now on, we’ll use the scale you trust."

Li Yungui smiled and nodded. Yang Zhongyi kept a close watch by the scale, ready to speak up for any discrepancy.

The two truckloads of wheat were weighed until noon, with one truck left.

Jiang Xinyu checked the time, "Zhongyi, get someone to buy food; the granary staff are exhausted, let’s make do."

"Alright, I’ll call two people to go buy food now."

Jiang Xinyu took out thirty yuan and five ten-pound food tickets from her bag and handed them to Yang Zhongyi.

"Sis, I have my own."

"Yours is yours; this is mine."

Yang Zhongyi had no choice but to accept.

Li Yungui knew Jiang Xinyu arranged for someone to buy food and was satisfied. The initial argument made him worry about dissatisfaction. Jiang Xinyu handled it well.

The two juniors left quickly, while work continued here.

An hour later, the food was brought back, after using an ID to borrow pots from a restaurant.

"Station Chief Liu, gather everyone for a meal."

"You’ve really made Village Chief Li spend."

"It’s necessary. We came early without notice, the staff weren’t prepared, and it’s mealtime. How can we let anyone work on an empty stomach?"

After finishing the meal and resting for a while, they continued.

By four in the afternoon, the weighing was completed, with Jiang Xinyu’s morning records showing a discrepancy of 130 pounds.

Li Yungui was very satisfied. If not for Xiao Jiang’s attentiveness and Mr. Yang’s presence, the amount might not have been accurate.

The remaining 240 pounds were directly contributed as public grain, achieving an overcompleted task.

After reconciling numbers with the accountant, everything was correct, awaiting Station Chief Liu’s receipt issuance.

Jiang Xinyu accompanied into Station Chief Liu’s office.

Jiang Xinyu discreetly slipped over a hundred pounds of food tickets, making it easier to handle. Losses should be transparent.

Station Chief Liu glanced at the ten-pound food tickets, noticing more than a dozen of them, his earlier displeasure fading.

He promptly signed, allowing her to collect the money.

Jiang Xinyu stepped out with papers, Yang Zhongyi waiting outside.

"Sis, should I accompany you?"

Jiang Xinyu looked at Li Yungui, waiting for his input.

"Teacher Jiang, this might not yield money now, but we can confirm the timing; it may delay Mr. Yang."

Yang Zhongyi laughed and shook his head, "No problem, let’s go; I have acquaintances here."

The three went to find Xing Xiangzhang. Seeing them together was a surprise, and Li Yungui handed over the receipt for leadership approval.

Xing Xiangzhang checked, smiling, "Old Li, excellent, I’ll praise you at the meeting."

"Thank you, leader."

After Xing Xiangzhang signed, Yang Zhongyi said, "Sis, Village Chief Li, you go ahead; I’ll chat with my old friend."

Jiang Xinyu followed Li Yungui to the accounting office.

They verified the signature, "Old Li, come back for the money the day after tomorrow morning."

"Alright."

Xing Mingying smiled at Yang Zhongyi, "How do you know each other?"

"I know Wei Kaiyun."

"You’re quite a good-hearted person, helping out like this?"

"Returning a favor, they delivered cabbages by tractor last year and sent a wild boar at New Year’s."

Xing Mingying smiled and nodded, acknowledging. "When will you come over for a meal?"

"Old Xing, I won’t be going to your house; convince your wife, I’m not planning to marry."

Xing Mingying helplessly shook her head, "Alright, got it, I’ll let her know."

"Well, I’m heading back."

"Visit me when you have time."

"Okay, I’ll come by when I have time," Yang Zhongyi said smiling, waving goodbye.

Jiang Xinyu got outside the granary, clearing the transport team’s payment, being sent home by Yang Zhongyi.

During the journey, joy filled Li Yungui’s face as this year’s task was halfway done. Thinking about the wheat in storage, anticipating sharing the wheat soon, allowing everyone to eat fresh steamed buns. Calculating, each person would get over 300 pounds, something previously unimaginable.
