Chapter 1129: What Does She Want to Exchange With?

The village head saw it was Grandpa Afu: "Uncle Fu, today won't work; I agreed with the procurement station a few days ago, and no matter how much we harvest today, it must be delivered."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue hurried forward and held Grandpa Afu's arm: "Grandpa Afu, since I can't leave today anyway, just give me some of the fish from the boats returning tomorrow; you can take me directly, and the fish will still be fresh."

Grandpa Afu slapped his forehead: "Look at my mind; I didn't think this through."

Liu Chuxue smiled instead: "It's just that you were so focused on my affairs that you overlooked everything else."

Hearing Liu Chuxue's closing words, Grandpa Afu laughed heartily: "Truly a beautiful and kind-hearted Miss."

While they were speaking, many young men from the village gathered around: "Grandpa Afu, is this young woman your relative?"

Grandpa Afu waved his hands repeatedly: "I wouldn't dare claim that; the Miss is a relative on the Jiao family daughter-in-law's side. The Jiao couple went today to fetch their daughter-in-law and grandson, and the young Miss came along to take a look."

Upon hearing she was a relative of the Jiao family's daughter-in-law, those with ill intentions backed off; after all, the Jiao family's son was a soldier in the army, and moreover, an officer with four pockets, someone they couldn't provoke.

Liu Chuxue naturally saw the villagers' reaction; this was why she not only asked Grandpa Afu to help her but also brought in the Jiao family.

Naturally, while on the boat, she overheard their family's conversation; being able to get the supplies she wanted at the fastest speed and leave safely, the cost of two packs of cigarettes was simply too worthwhile.

Since fresh fish wouldn't be accepted today, Grandpa Afu and Uncle Dewang, who arrived soon after, discussed it and went to find the brigade captain; after all, the young Miss said she wanted to exchange for quite a bit of dried goods, which was good news for their fishing village, but this matter couldn't be done openly, so they had to inform the village cadres.

Upon hearing the young Miss wanted to exchange for dried seafood, the brigade captain looked at the bag at the girl's feet: "What does she want to exchange with?"

Uncle Dewang beckoned to Liu Chuxue.

Liu Chuxue picked up the bag at her feet and walked over.

This bag had been specially prepared before boarding the boat, and the contents were prepared long ago; for fishermen, these items were far more attractive than money.

He introduced her: "Liu Chuxue, this is the brigade captain of our Jiaotang East Village; just call him Uncle Dewang."

Liu Chuxue nodded to the man and smiled faintly as she greeted him: "Hello, Uncle Dewang."

The brigade captain was not a rigid person; their land was scarce, every household made a living from the sea, and with travel inconvenient now, besides not lacking dried goods they had saved up, they lacked everything else: "Miss, how do you want to exchange?"

Liu Chuxue didn't beat around the bush: "Uncle Dewang, I brought some scarce items; I believe you won't let me suffer a loss."

Saying this, she opened the bag slightly, revealing brown sugar inside: "Inside there is not only brown sugar, flashlights, batteries, soap, and cigarettes, but also several bolts of cloth and a few jin of white flour and millet; of course, if everyone doesn't need these items, I can pay everyone in cash."

Now not only the brigade captain, but also Uncle Dewang and Grandpa Afu, who were about to get busy, became restless; these were all good things.

Uncle Dewang spoke excitedly first: "Liu Chuxue, you have millet and flour?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, I brought some, but not much."

She didn't specify the exact quantity; she could fudge the numbers a little later.

Uncle Dewang rubbed his hands: "Liu Chuxue, my family also stored some dried seafood; rest assured, the quality will satisfy you."

He had originally intended to wait for his son to return and take it to the army unit to build connections, but naturally, he couldn't say that.
