138 Buy rice
Lin Meiyi nodded, indicating her understanding, and when she saw her grandmother sitting in the hall, she walked over and told what she saw.
When Zhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to think, so he suddenly opened his mouth and called Lin Youcai over.
"How many meters are left at home?" Zhang asked seriously.
Lin Youcai replied vaguely: "It should be enough for us to eat the autumn harvest, what's wrong?" Mother, why do you ask this? ”
"Not enough!" Zhang didn't answer Lin Youcai's question, but ordered in a deep voice: "This bit of rice is not enough, you can take Ah Da and the two to the town now, buy more rice and come back, at least enough for our family to eat until next year's autumn harvest." ”
"Mother, but the road has collapsed." Lin Youcai smiled bitterly, now he can't catch the car on this road at all.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhang's face turned cold, and he ordered: "If you don't have a car, go away!" It doesn't matter if you're going to the town or the county seat, give it to me now, go and get back quickly! ”
"Grandma, I'm with Daddy." Lin Meiyi could vaguely feel the old man's serious concern and proposed.
Unknowingly, Zhang's other arrangements, "You can't do it, you have to accompany me to the village chief's house in a while." ”
This kind of thing is left to the old man to do, her attachment is Jiaojiao'er, but she can't bear this sin.
"But my father and they are only three people, and they can't bring much rice back...... "If she goes, she can carry an extra hundred pounds back."
Zhang waved his hand and motioned to Lin Meiyi to stop talking, so that Lin Youcai could act immediately.
If it's late, the rain will be heavy again.
Lin Youcai didn't dare not listen to the old lady's order, called Ah Xiaohei, took out the wheelbarrow that had been in the warehouse for a long time, prepared a sack of oil paper, hurriedly said to Liu, took the silver and left.
It would not be eleven a.m., and if nothing else, the three of them would be back before dark.
It's just that there are a lot of crises on the road, and I just hope that the three of them will be alert.
Lin Meiyi didn't worry too much, the three of them were wearing raincoats made by her, and her father was still carrying the Tiangong Good Luck Sachet she had just stuffed in his pocket, which was enough to deal with the current rain.
Besides, whether you go to the town or the county seat, you take the official road, which is very spacious, and there are more woods on both sides than cliffs, so there should be no major danger.
Thinking that grandma thought the same thing, she urged a few people to go out.
Seeing off the three fathers, Lin Meiyi shook off her grandmother's raincoat and put it on for her, and went to the village chief's house with her with an umbrella.
There are a lot of puddles on the road, and although the old man's body is much better after eating the ice and snow white lotus, he is also getting older, and he can't walk after just a few steps out.
Because the road ahead was full of big puddles.
Just as Zhang gave up going in person and was about to tell her granddaughter to go for a run, the girl shoved the umbrella into her hand and squatted down.
"Grandma, come up, I'll carry you over, there are too many puddles here, and you're too slow to rub like this." Lin Meiyi pretended to be impatient and said.
Zhang shook his head helplessly, so he had to lie down.
Lin Meiyi carried her grandmother across the pond on her back, although there was one more person on her back, it did not affect her speed, and the grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the house of the village chief Wang Sheng after a while.
The door was open, and Lin Meiyi carried her grandmother directly inside.
Wang Sheng's family, except for the youngest son who left the conscription, the rest of the family members all gathered in the hall, and when they saw Lin Meiyi carrying the Zhang family in, the village chief's heart immediately rose.
"What's wrong? Why did you come here in person? Wang Sheng hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing Zhang's arrival at such a time, he had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, he told him that the mountain village was in trouble.
"I made a divination yesterday, and the hexagram shows that nine deaths and one life are a great murderer."
"What do you mean?" Wang Sheng hurriedly asked, and his family also gathered around, staring at Zhang's family.
Zhang said in a deep voice: "If this rain still falls tonight, it confirms the hexagram, and the village chief had better inform the villagers as soon as possible to prepare food in time, so as not to be unable to survive this catastrophe." ”
When Wang Sheng heard this, he was shocked, "Listen to what you mean, this is going to be a big flood?" ”
"What if the rain stops?" Village Chief Queen Sun Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
Zhang raised his eyes to look at her, and the pale face shrouded under the hood startled the little girl, but she resisted and did not dodge.
"If the rain stops, what the old man said before, the village chief will only let me fart!"
After speaking, he got up and called Lin Meiyi to leave, completely ignoring the shocked look of Wang Sheng's family.
They never expected that such a cold and mysterious Zhang would actually swear.
Lin Meiyi secretly gave her grandmother a thumbs up: The old lady thief has a personality!
The grandparents and grandchildren went back, leaving behind a bombshell that blew up the village chief's brain.
He ordered his family not to make a noise, and he stood silently under the eaves, looking at the gloomy sky, and secretly prayed that the rain would stop soon, so that he would really regard Zhang's words as farts.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the rain became heavier again, Wang Sheng's heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurriedly stood up from the stool, called his son and grandson, and knocked on the door to warn.
The village chief came forward, and Zhang, a goddess who had never lost a hand, testified that the ancients were superstitious and most of them believed it.
But the matter of preparing food is really difficult for some people.
However, the big guy was also afraid, so when the heavy rain stopped again the next morning, several families in the village formed a team and went to the town in a mighty way.
If you don't have money, you have to borrow money to join in the fun, and be prepared.
However, what the villagers did not expect was that the price of rice shops had increased and the price of grain had doubled, which meant that the merchants had sensed the crisis and responded in advance.
Some people gritted their teeth and bought it, and some people returned empty-handed with a fluke mentality.
Zhang Shi looked at these people who returned empty-handed and shook her head, but the matter had come to this point, she had notified everything she could, and if these people didn't listen, she couldn't press those people's heads to force them to buy the rice back.
In short, it is not up to her to blame her for whether it is a blessing or a curse after that.
"Mother, come and see, where can I put these rice?" Liu shouted in the warehouse.
Lin Youcai and the three of them came back before the heavy rain fell yesterday evening, a wheelbarrow, three strong men pushed together, and bought a thousand catties of rice back.
Now the Lin family is not short of this money, and all they buy is good white rice that has been shelled, covered with oilcloth, and it is not wet at all.
Zhang came to the storehouse on crutches, but asked Liu to put the rice in his house.
"Huh?" Liu was confused, "Put you in the house?" ”
The old lady is learning from the old lady next door, and she likes to move all the valuable things in the house to her house, so much, can you put it down?
Can Zhang still not know what Liu is thinking?
snorted coldly and shouted: "Just do what you want to do, otherwise you ask me what to do?" If you ask me, I said that you don't do it, so it's better not to ask! ”
