Chapter 277 I like to eat this
The grain was not transported until midnight. Secretary Li just stared at the piles of grain in the county party committee compound. Many people drooled at the sight of the abundant grains and fresh fruits.

"I have never seen anything like this before. Is this also a fruit?"

"I looked up some information and heard that it's called banana melon, this one has thorns and is called durian, fairy fruit. There are many strange fruits. Look at the apples over there, they are so red, it's scary."

"Not to mention the fruits, even the grains like wheat and rice are so plump and fine, it's really amazing!"

"Don't keep boasting. Our country's grain is also very good. Comrades at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are researching day and night. One day we will catch up with and surpass Western countries."

"Now is not the time to earn money. What should we do with the grain? These are all grains without documents. Should we transport all of them to the disaster-stricken areas, or should we only transport the grains in the county granary?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that we should leave some behind?"

The crowd was arguing. The people in the disaster area were very pitiful and in urgent need of these things, but some people were selfish. Ning County was a poor county and many people were still hungry. Suddenly they got so much food, and some leaders wanted to keep some of it to feed their own people first.

It’s not that I won’t give it. I will give it, I will definitely give it. But can you please consider your fellow villagers and let everyone have a good meal?

"Stop arguing. Shen Meng found these things. Miss Jessie told her about them. If Shen Meng and Miss Jessie were not familiar with each other, she would not have told her this. No one would know about these grains. In a few days, they will probably rot and we will have to fight for them."

Secretary Guan came over at this time. He stood in front of Secretary Li and said, "Secretary, Comrade Shen said when he went home that there was too much grain and we didn't have the procedures. It's not easy for us to deal with it directly. It's best to complete the procedures, but don't mention Mark. Just say that it was donated to Ning County by overseas comrades. Some fruits that don't spoil easily can be transported to the disaster area. We are a poor county, so it's best not to donate too much. Calculate the amount we can donate and send it over to the best of our ability. Some fruits that can't be stored for a long time can also be distributed to factories, communes, county committees, and education bureaus. Let our comrades supervise and distribute them to every comrade and member in need."

Li Chuan and some of the comrades who advocated keeping some were shocked. They did not expect Shen Meng's idea to be so comprehensive. Secretary Guan did not say anything. In fact, some things were his ideas, but he felt that Shen Meng was a country woman. Even if she had achieved some results that ordinary people could not do, she was still a woman after all.

She has four children to support, and if she can get along well with the people in the county committee, then when she encounters difficulties in the future, at least there will be someone to lend a hand.

"In addition, Secretary, I have a personal request. Comrade Shen Meng not only helped to get so much food this time, but also lay in the valley for two hours to transport the food back safely. Can you give us more food when we distribute it?"

"The organization will consider what you said. Although she did contribute a lot to the food, I can't make an exception for her alone. Xiaoguan, your request is very unreasonable!"

When Li Chuan said this, he frowned and his tone became much more serious. Secretary Guan lowered his head and didn't say anything, but the others couldn't stand it.

"Old Li, what you said is a bit harsh. Not only did the villagers in our county benefit from this grain, but we also gained a good reputation. Comrade Shen made such a long trip and his salary was deducted. What did he get? Was he absent from work?"

"That's right. I suggest sending Comrade Shen Meng 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of wheat. As for these strange fruits, we can also send some over. What's the big deal? If we don't reward such a good comrade, how can we promote unity in the future?"

"I agree. If we don't reward someone as conscious as Comrade Shen Meng, then what kind of person should we reward? If she doesn't give more, I won't allow anyone to approve the note from the customs."

Li Chuan sighed and reluctantly said to Secretary Guan: "In that case, then you can pick some fruits and food to send to Comrade Shen Meng. Oh, and add a silk banner. As for what to write on it, you can consider it. Oh, Comrade Shen Meng hasn't received the foreign exchange bonus from last time. Add this bonus together. The total is 1,600 yuan. Send it to her home as soon as possible."

"Hey, I'll go right away. I'll go right away." Secretary Guan nodded and ran to the office. He had to go to the Finance Department to write an approval note.

Secretary Li looked at the looks in everyone's eyes and touched his nose awkwardly. For such an award, didn't everyone have to agree to it?

We have to go through the motions, and he can't have the final say all the time!
The news that the county government distributed fine grains and fruits caused a sensation throughout the entire county. Although each family did not receive much, only five or ten kilograms, it was the government's kindness and everyone was extremely grateful.

Secretary Guan drove to deliver 200 kilograms of food and three large boxes of various fruits to Shen Meng's home. Everyone in Lujia Village looked at them intently. They also saw a silk banner and a red envelope, which was really eye-catching.

Wu Xianglan stood at the door and talked to people, praising Shen Meng all the time and calling her like her own sister.

In the hall.

"Comrade Shen Meng, this is the bonus the township government gave you, a total of 1,600 yuan, please keep it. The secretary is worried that you will feel unwell after staying in the valley for a long time, so he called your bus company and asked for two days off. You should have a good rest. Comrade Shen Meng, I really admire you. You can stay in the valley for so long without changing your movements. You are so determined."

Shen Meng: “.”

No, no, I got up right after you left, how could I stay so long!!!

After Secretary Guan left, many people came to the house one after another. Guan He made a pot of brown sugar water. As for the fruits, she didn't take out any. These were all her things. She didn't know these people very well. They came just to take advantage of her. She wanted to wait for her younger sisters to come before opening the fruit boxes!

Lu Yonggang was still playing music and singing, and the burial would not take place until tomorrow. At night, Shen Meng gathered all the children in her room to sleep, for fear that they would be scared.

Mingliang looked at the durian on the table with great curiosity. Shen Meng also wanted to eat it, so she pried it open with a knife.

"This smells bad, but tastes delicious. Eat it slowly. You may not be used to it at first, but after a few bites, I promise you will like it."

The little ones were eager to try it out.

Five minutes later, Mingyang, Mingfang and Mingkai were all enjoying their meals, except Mingliang who was vomiting while eating.

"It's delicious, ugh~, I like this, ugh~, I want to eat another one later, ugh~"

Shen Meng: “.”

There is no need to force it!!!
