Brother Qiang put down his chopsticks and sized up Xiao Sheng. “The taste is average, but we can sell it if you want to. How much are you planning to sell it for?”

Xiao Sheng understood that Brother Qiang’s motive for saying this was to lower the price, but he knew how unique the taste of this jam was. He decided to tell him the price he had originally set. “0.7 yuan per bottle.”

The jam sold by the county’s supply company cost 0.85 yuan if there were stamps. The wholesale price he set was considered moderate.

Brother Qiang was in no hurry to lower the price. “If you supply it once every seven days, how much can you supply at once?”

Xiao Sheng quickly calculated. “100 grams per bottle. There’s no problem with 100 bottles every seven days.”

Brother Qiang lowered his head and thought for a moment. He said in a low voice, “55 cents a bottle. If it works, bring 100 bottles over in seven days.”

This price was about the same as Xiao Sheng’s estimate, but he still put on a troubled expression. After a while, he frowned and said, “Brother Qiang, I can’t earn much at this price. I only hope that you can help me when I make other sorts of jam.”

Brother Qiang readily agreed.

After the discussion, Xiao Sheng followed Zhao Quan out of the residential building. When the two of them returned to the street, Xiao Sheng took out another bottle of jam from under the basket. “Brother Quan, I left this for you. Take it back for your wife and the child to try.”

Zhao Quan accepted it without hesitation. “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

At this moment, Yu Bing was worried about how to get a spot as a tow truck driver.

Because she couldn’t do high-intensity farm work over a long period, she had been thinking about how to change the situation.

On the road that day, she bumped into Sun Yu boasting to Yu Yan that he was going to the county city to study for a period of time. Although Sun Yu didn’t say it out loud, it reminded Yu Bing of the reason Sun Yu had disappeared from the village for more than ten days and learned to drive a tractor!

In response to the country’s request to speed up agricultural modernization, the leaders of Jiangning County spent a lot of effort to apply for 20 tractors from the city. Jiangning County had five communes, each managing four villages.

Every village had a spot for a tractor driver. It was very honorable to be chosen as a tractor driver these days. Moreover, you could be considered a public servant. In the village, others would look at you with more respect. The candidate would be chosen by the village’s authorities after a meeting.

However, Sun Yu wasn’t chosen at all. Sun Yu was the nephew of the village chief, Sun Wang. After Sun Wang went to a meeting a few days ago and found out about this, he lied to the commune that Sun Yu was the candidate chosen by the authorities. Without informing anyone, he used his power for personal gain and gave the spot to his biological nephew.

Yu Bing planned to write an anonymous report letter at night to report this matter to the commune. Yu Bing had learned how to drive tractors in her previous life. She had an advantage in this aspect and was confident that she could get a spot in a fair election.

Moreover, even if she didn’t succeed, she couldn’t let a jerk like Sun Yu, who ran someone over in his previous life, get a spot!

After making up her mind, Yu Bing went to the commune at around 10 am the next morning.

Looking at the commune in the distance, Yu Bing was thinking about how to quietly throw the anonymous letter into the report box on the left of the door.

Suddenly, she heard someone moaning beside her. Yu Bing looked over and saw a pregnant woman holding her stomach while sitting against the wall.

Yu Bing hurriedly went forward. “Are you going to give birth?”

The pregnant woman nodded. “Miss, my house is in the courtyard behind the commune. Can you help me call my family to send me to the medical center? I don’t have the strength to walk at all.”

“Alright, what’s your family member’s name?”

The pregnant woman frowned in pain. “My husband’s name is Song Jian.”

“Then hold on. I’ll go to your house immediately to call for help!” After Yu Bing finished speaking, she ran all the way to the courtyard.

When she saw an woman passing by in the courtyard, she immediately went forward and asked, “Hello, I want to look for Song Jian. His wife is about to give birth and needs him to send her to the medical center.”

The woman panicked when she heard that. She pointed at the building in front and said, “We have to hurry. His house is on the second floor, Room 205.”

Yu Bing thanked her and rushed to the Song family’s house. She hurriedly knocked on the door. When the door opened, she saw a girl about her age. She hurriedly asked, “Is this Song Jian’s family? His wife is giving birth and has to be sent to the medical center immediately.”

Song Jian’s sister, Song Li, was shocked. “My brother is still working in the commune. I’ll go find him now!”
