Thinking about Feng Lin’s family situation, Lu Jueyu also included coupons for him. This way, he could buy food from state-owned grain and supply stores at lower prices.
Looking at her notebook, she had the most grain, flour, and egg coupons. So, she took out a total of 500 kilograms’ worth of grain coupons, 300 kilograms’ worth of flour coupons, and 100 kilograms’ worth of egg coupons.
As for other types of coupons, she took out 50 kilograms’ worth of meat coupons, 10 kilograms’ worth of salt coupons, 50 kilograms’ worth of sugar coupons, 30 liters’ worth of oil coupons, 10 rolls’ worth of fabric coupons, and 50 kilograms’ worth of cotton coupons.
For her and her family, these coupons were just paper, but for Feng Lin and others, they meant food and important rations. Rather than letting these coupons become useless waste in the future, it was better to give them to someone in need.
After a long period of observation, she was sure that Feng Lin was trustworthy, so she dared to give him this much. As for his grandparents, she believed they were wise people who knew what to say and what not to say.
She divided the money into two portions—one with coupons and one with just money. She would give these to the children later.
When she was done, she left the space and reappeared in the bedroom. Walking to the backyard, she saw the children had just finished eating.
"Xiao Huang, Xiao Lin, can you come with me?" she asked.
Hearing her words, the two of them quickly washed their hands and walked over.
Hugging her mother’s leg, Dong Huang raised her head and asked, "Mother, do you need me to do something for you?"
"Aunt Li, what can I help you with?" Feng Lin asked.
Hearing their words, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Come with me, and you will find out."
Feeling curious, the two children followed her to her bedroom. This was Feng Lin’s first time entering Lu Jueyu’s bedroom, and he hesitated, standing outside the door, not daring to step inside.
Seeing this, Lu Jueyu waved at him and said, "Xiao Lin, come in and close the door."
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lin finally entered the room and closed the door. Compared to his mud-walled house, this room was built with wood and looked very beautiful.
The courtyard house had been built centuries ago using Chinese cedarwood, also known as Nanmu wood. The Li family’s ancestors had been the richest family in the area back then and had used the finest Nanmu wood to construct their ancestral house.
Because of this, the wood had a beautiful golden color with elegant grain patterns and a pleasant fragrance. Even after all these years, it retained its distinctive smoky, woody, pine-like aroma.
As Feng Lin took a deep breath, he felt as though he was standing in the middle of a forest, surrounded by comfort. He didn’t know anything about the Li family’s history—he only thought the room was incredibly beautiful.
Patting the Kang bed, Lu Jueyu said, "Come here and take a seat."
Feng Lin took off his shoes and climbed onto the Kang bed. With the window open, a gentle breeze blew into the room, making the temperature just right—not too hot or too cold.
