Yue Zhong took inventory of the goods on the Dong Feng truck. Shortly after finishing, he said to the women: “Starting today, We need to implement a food distribution system. You can’t eat as you please like in the past!”
On the road, due to the supplies being sufficient, Yue Zhong didn’t restrict the women’s food and drink supplies. This was the first time implementing rations.
The women’s hearts had some conflict and doubt, but Yue Zhong just finished reprimanding Zhang Xin. The other women didn’t dare disobey Yue Zhong and became silent.
Just at that time, Ji Qingwu opened her mouth and asked: “Why?”
Among the women, only Ji Qingwu, Lu Wen, and Chen Yao were able to speak equally with Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong explained: “We’ve used up a lot of supplies on the road, yet we haven’t searched for any supplies. Right now, we have to give Tiger half of our supplies. The shortest time we will stay at Always Bright Village is three days. After leaving Always Bright Village, we still have to reach Longhai City without knowing how it will take, and we also don’t know what will happen on the road. I want sufficient supplies to respond to events that could occur.”
Yue Zhong knew Ji Qingwu was also helping the other women ask, for that reason he answered extremely clearly.
Two Dong Feng trucks have a lot of supplies, and Tiger wanted to take one. Yue Zhong and the rest would be left with one. Their party had more than ten people. If they din’t have food rations, and still let everyone pig out, he was afraid the supplies wouldn’t last long.
Recieving Yue Zhong’s explanation, their hearts slowly relaxed.
Several supplies were also hiding in Yue Zhong’s storage ring, but that was his emergency stash. He would only use it as a last resort.
Yue Zhong Said: “From today, during our stay in Always Bright Village, we will cook food. The fighting force will receive three three bowls of rice each meal, two slices of lunch meat, and a piece of ham sausage. The labor force will receive two bowls of rice each meal and half a piece of ham sausage. The non-laborers will receive one bowl of rice each meal.”
On the Dong Feng truck, they arranged several pouches of rice and used the rice cooker to to measure out an amount that would be enough to eat similar to the packaged food.
This time Ji Qingwu didn’t speak again. She knew the current situation wasn’t very good. If there was no leftover food to respond to dire situations, as soon as a situation occurred there would be trouble. For instance if they had to stay in Always Bright Village without any supplies stored up, the consequences would be unbearable.
Ji Qingwu didn’t voice any opposition, and the other women didn’t dare say anything. That’s how this matter went down.
Quickly Da Gouzi came to the public square. Seeing the group eating bread and drinking milk, he choked down his saliva. He extremely respectfully said: “Brother Yue! I’m here!”
Yue Zhong casually threw his bread package and milk box into the trash can and said: “Okay. Let’s go!”
Da Gouzi tenaciously started at the black trash back at Yue Zhong’s side. He said to Yue Zhong: “Big Brother Yue, can you give this to me?”
“Okay! But what are you going to do with it?” Yue Zhong gave the trash bag to Da Gouzi, and asked him not understanding.
The other women also strangely looked over at Da Gouzi.
Da Gouzi’s face proudly showed his survival instinct: “Those packages still have some crumbs in them. The milk boxes can be cut open, and could still have milk remaining.”
Hearing Da Gouzi’s words, these women all had a burst of sadness.
Yue Zhong curiously asked: “Da Gouzi, aren’t you in a farm village? How are you lacking food?”
