Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1028

Finding nothing from the message, the post officer handed the telegram message over to another officer before she looked at Lu Han and said, "Comrade, it’s 1 yuan and 20 cents."

After Lu Han paid the fee, he said, "Thank you, Comrade."

"You are welcome," the staff officer smiled at him.

Before returning to Xie Village, Lu Han went to the state-owned supply store to buy some candies and food for his parents and the children. As his wife had said, their family could now earn money, so there was no need to save it if they could improve their quality of life.

As he walked into the store, he saw the empty boxes and frowned. The last time he visited, these boxes were filled with grains, various nuts, and vegetables. But now, there were only a handful of candies on the shelves.

When he reached the counter, he asked, "Hello, Comrade. Besides those items, are there any other items for sale?"

Hearing his question, the staff looked up and said, "Comrade, if you want to buy something good, you should come earlier. Lately, we have been receiving fewer goods from the government, so most items are sold out before eight o’clock in the morning."

Lu Han was surprised by her words and asked, "How could that be? Didn’t we just finish the summer harvest?"

The staff laughed at his words and asked him back, "Comrade, where are you from? Haven’t you heard that only several villages near the mountain and river have a bountiful harvest? Most villages failed their harvests due to the lack of water."

At first, Lu Han thought that even if some areas failed their summer harvests, the situation wouldn’t be this bad. Unexpectedly, it was worse than he had thought. It seems he should have gone to the mountain to get more grains and vegetables for his brothers.

After receiving the information, he bought a packet of maltose candies and a packet of milk candies for the children before returning to the village.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo had returned to their rented house at noon. Upon their return, Dong Li and Li Lingyun had prepared lunch.

Seeing them come back, Li Lingyun said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, you both returned at the right time. We just finished cooking. Let’s have lunch together."

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "We will wash our hands first."

After taking their seats, Father Li asked, "Third son, how is your friend’s condition?"

"There should be no problem with his health once he recovers," Li Chenmo replied.

"That’s good. It would be a pity if he couldn’t return to the army," Father Li nodded.

Li Lingyun’s eyes lit up when he heard this and asked, "Third brother, is there a limit on how much we can buy?"

Pretending to think it over, Li Chenmo replied, "There shouldn’t be a limit, since most of his customers are government and military officials."

"Third brother, if possible, I’d like to buy around 2,000 kilograms of grains. Price isn’t an issue," Li Lingyun said after thinking for a moment.

Father Li was surprised by his words and turned to look at his second son.

"Second son, why do you need so much grain?" he asked with a frown.

As everyone knows, grains cannot be stored for too long, otherwise they will become moldy. Buying too much grain increases the risk of spoilage. After all, after his second son got married, only two people would consume the grains.

"Father, I want to stock up so that, if my friends need grain, I can sell some to them without raising the price. It’s just a precaution," Li Lingyun explained.

Father Li nodded approvingly, pleased that his son was helping others without taking advantage of their hardships.
