As soon as the tea party ended, Xu Ma and Yang Lina hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mother Xu shouted loudly: "Old man, Dongzi, hurry up, something big is wrong." ”

Xu Dong was holding Xiaobao in the bedroom to blow the air conditioner, and immediately walked outside when he heard the sound.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother Xu took a breath and asked, "What about your father, why didn't you see anyone?" ”

"Dad is in the basement, I'm going to see wood today, the machine is too loud, I'm afraid of noisy Xiaobao."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he put Xiaobao on the ground, and then Yang Lina led the triplets into the house, and gave a reassuring look before leaving.

"Hurry up and call him up, and we'll discuss something together later." Mother Xu commanded.

"Great!"

Ten minutes later, the family gathered in the living room, and Mother Xu seemed to open the chatterbox, and told the news heard at the tea party in one breath.

"Lao Sun, she used to be a teacher, and she is smart, so it's definitely not nonsense."

Dad Xu's expression was a little complicated at this time, everything made sense, it turned out that Li Chao was not a big fat sheep, he was.

"Alas, I knew that I wouldn't sell air-dried chicken and bacon anymore, and it would be cheaper." Dad Xu said regretfully.

Mother Xu was also indignant: "That Li Chao looks like a profiteer, not a good thing." ”

What else could Xu Dong say, he could only persuade: "Dad, Mom, extinguish the fire, don't we still have air-dried rabbits and geese left in our house, it's definitely enough for us to eat by ourselves." ”

Mother Xu originally planned to sell these, but Xu Dongqiang pulled them, and the Coco sisters were shouting for meat on the side, so they stayed.

"There are dozens of catties of donkey meat." Yang Lina added.

Mother Xu waved her hand and sighed: "Forget it, it's all sold, it's too late to say anything, the most important thing in our family now is the rice in the store." ”

Xu Dong nodded in agreement, now he can hoard supplies openly.

"Old man, how much rice is left in the store?" Xu's mother looked at Xu's father and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be 33 bags, all of which are 50-pound medium bags."

"What is 33 times 50?" Mother Xu looked at Xu Dong.

"30 times 50 plus 150, a total of 1650 pounds." Xu Dong calculated quickly.

Mother Xu estimated it in her heart and said, "It's almost enough for our family to eat for a year, so it should be fine." ”

An adult's annual ration is almost 300 catties, and the old Xu family has four adults and five children, even if it is not much worse.

"Mom, don't forget the 6 bags of rice that Aunt Sun wanted." Yang Lina reminded at the right time.

"Look at my memory." Mother Xu slapped her forehead, and then changed the conversation: "Otherwise, we won't sell it to them, we will only have a year's rations ourselves, and we don't know what will happen next year?" ”

"And how do we explain it?" Yang Lina blushed a little.

"Let's just say that your dad secretly sold out ......"

Xu Dong doesn't want his mother's hard-earned circle of friends to end like this, and the old Xu family will have to live on this street for decades in the future!

And this matter affects the reputation, so he hurriedly interrupted:

"Don't! Mom, we still have dozens of tons in our warehouse... As for seeds, rice, wheat, and miscellaneous grains are available, and there is actually no shortage of food at home, it is enough to eat for decades, so we don't need to lose our trust in others. ”

"Really?" Xu Ma was pleasantly surprised.

Yang Lina was also overjoyed, and Dad Xu was even more relieved.

"Of course it's true, I'll take you to see it later."

Now that there is a rumor outside, Xu Dong doesn't plan to hide it, and he can appropriately disclose some materials, which can be regarded as the hearts of the people.

Mother Xu grabbed her youngest son: "What are you waiting for, go now." ”

The family took the elevator to the basement to the second floor, Xu Dong pointed to the innermost row of shelves and said, "These are rice seeds." ”

Afraid that a few people would not believe it, Xu Dong also opened a bag of "rice seeds" with his own hands, and what was revealed was indeed yellow, orange and orange rice.

Xu's father and Xu's mother both stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice, which was believed to be true.

Mother Xu said happily: "Now you don't have to lie to the old grandson." ”

At the same time, Xu Dong suddenly said to his family with a serious face:

"Dad, Mom, Nana, no one knows the sequelae of the previous solar flare, and maybe the world will be in chaos in the future.

Therefore, you must not tell the things in our warehouse, you must keep them secret, not even the boss and my sister.

By the way, don't take Coco and them into the warehouse in the future, the children can't keep their mouths shut. ”

Dad Xu nodded solemnly, Mother Xu and Yang Lina were still a little dazed, and they didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Dongzi, will the world really be in chaos in the future?" Xu Ma asked in surprise.

Xu Dong nodded: "It's very possible, in fact, that Aunt Qian is right, it's hot during the day and cold at night, and there is definitely something wrong with the atmosphere, but the end of the world is not enough."

Alas, you don't understand it, as long as you know that the climate is no longer normal, the grain production will be reduced 100% certainly.

There is not enough food to eat, is it far from the chaos of the world? Fortunately, several major powers have nuclear buttons, otherwise the Third World War would definitely not have run. ”

Seeing that the faces of several people turned pale, Xu Dong hurriedly said with relief: "Actually, don't worry too much, these are just my speculations, maybe the atmosphere will return to normal in two years." ”

"In short, you can't go wrong with being prepared!" Xu Dong finally emphasized.

……

When they returned to the ground, the faces of the group were a little gloomy, but the two sisters thought that the "bullying" of the triplets had been discovered, and they hid far away one by one.

"Old man, you hurry up and go to the store with Dongzi and bring back all the rest of the things." Mother Xu urged, and at the same time, she suddenly had an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.

Dad Xu nodded and said he understood.

Ten minutes later, the convenience store arrived.

The father and son began to empty the convenience store, and all the daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the few remaining groceries and groceries, and rice were all loaded into the pickup truck.

After loading, the father and son sat at the gate and swallowed the fog together.

Usually at home, it is absolutely non-smoking, not outside the courtyard wall, and it is a scolding when Xu Ma sees it.

"Dongzi, what are you going to do with this store?" Dad Xu asked softly.

Xu Dong didn't want to irritate his father, anyway, he could afford the rent, "Let's put it first, let's see the situation, the location of this store is quite good." ”

"If it doesn't work, it's back, the rent of 20,000 yuan a month can't be paid." Dad Xu sighed.

"Dad, why don't I get you a recycling shop for used electronics?" Xu Dong suggested that the main thing was to find something to do for his father, and Xu's father was an idle person.

In the future, as the drought continues, the recycling industry will be a very hot industry, with very attractive profit margins.

"This requires a certain technical threshold, right? Dad doesn't know anything about electronics! "Dad Xu was really moved.

Xu Dong waved his hand and explained: "It's okay, let's just recruit a technical employee, you are still the store manager." ”

"Is this okay?"

"Sure, anyway, the store is empty, it's better to use waste. Ahem, Dad, I'm not talking about waste, it's the storefront. ”

Dad Xu: "......"
