"Don't do it three times!" Luo Xin thought about it, "Father, can a bullock cart pull [-] catties of grain at once?"

"Yes! It can pull two thousand catties of grain at most, and the county seat is less than twenty miles away from our village, so there is no problem."

"That's good! Dad, let's go today. In the afternoon, the three of us will go to the county town to buy [-] catties of grain at a time. It will be almost sunset when we leave Xiancheng. Let's walk slowly and wait until we return It’s almost midnight when we get to the village, no one will notice us coming back, the people in the village are already fast asleep in this season, and with the martial arts skills of the three of us, we are not afraid of accidents.”

"Okay!" This time Luo Ping did not hesitate at all, he stood up and said, "Qing'er, the two of us hurry up to the field to dry it out. After lunch, the three of us will go to the city."

"Hey!"

in the afternoon.

Luo Ping was driving the ox cart, Luo Xin was sitting on the ox cart, Luo Qing was riding a horse, and the three of them entered the city.A neighbor on the road asked:

"Second brother, is this family going to the city?"

"Yeah! Xin'er has something to do in the city, Qing'er and I stopped by to visit friends in the county."

After the three of them entered the city, Luo Xin did not visit Lu Tingfang, nor Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun.I went directly to buy [-] catties of grain, and then the three of them left the county.

Near midnight, the three of you drove the ox cart into the village quietly, and when they returned home, they temporarily put [-] catties of grain into the cellar. In the next few days, Luo Ping and Luo Qing quietly He dug a cellar and put the grain into the newly dug cellar. This cellar was dug in the east wing, and then it was covered with green bricks, so no one could see it.

this day.

Luo Xin was reading in the room when he saw his eldest brother walk in angrily.Luo Xin laughed, he knew that his father would remind his grandfather to buy food today, and seeing his elder brother's appearance, his father must have been scolded.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

"What else can I do?" Luo Qing said angrily, "Father reminded grandpa about buying grain in the field. Grandpa said that there will be no grain shortage this year, but the harvest will be less. Buy so much grain and put it at home. Pure prodigal. I don't know how to live with a little money."

Luo Xin laughed, "What did Dad say?"

"Father didn't say anything, so he went back to work in our field, but his face was not good-looking." Luo Qing said sullenly.

"Hmph, let's see what they say when they come to our house to beg for food!" The mother's angry voice came from the east wing.

Luo Qing and Luo Xin looked at each other and smiled.Luo Xin put down his book and stood up, "Brother, I'll go to the teacher's place."

"Hey!"

The reason why Luo Xin went to Lin Chang's house was to tell the teacher about the drought and ask the teacher to prepare some food.When he came to the teacher's house, he spoke out his suggestion, and told the teacher that his family was going to buy [-] catties of grain in the county tomorrow. Come back with a hundred catties of grain.

After leaving the teacher's house, Luo Xin went to Zhang Shu's house again. He came to Zhang Shu's house not to let Zhang Shu's family also buy food. Zhang Shu's family belongs to the rich class. As long as they don't sell a lot of food during the autumn harvest, they will not starve to death. He went. The purpose is to remind Zhang Shu not to sell grain like before during the autumn harvest, but to keep enough grain.

For Zhang Shu, this was a trivial matter. He thanked Luo Xin very happily, and kept Luo Xin for dinner. Thinking of getting drunk at Zhang Shu's house that day, Luo's heart trembled, and he quickly declined to leave.

the next day.

The three Lord Luo Ping set off for the county seat again, this time they did not conceal their purpose, when someone asked, Luo Ping expressed concern:
"Looking at the situation, the autumn harvest may not be good. Go to the county town to buy some food for preparation."

Everyone in the village looked at Luo Ping's family of three as if they were idiots. Isn't this rich money?This situation is not like a drought, is it?When Luo Heng heard that Luo Ping's family had really gone to buy food, he knocked the cigarette pouch on the table and said:

"Prodigal stuff!"

Besides, Luo Ping's family was walking on the way to the county seat, Luo Ping's face showed worry and said:

"Xin'er, if the harvest is good this year, our family will be ashamed of the village. Your grandpa is calling me a prodigal now, and you don't know how to scold me by then. Your uncle and uncle don't know how to run against each other. Our home."

Luo Xin smiled: "Father, don't worry. We can't just take care of face. If we don't prepare, once the drought comes, I'm afraid even if we have money, we won't be able to buy food. Even if there is no drought, we can stay Just eat it, or sell it again. It won’t be expensive for us to go to the county to buy grain now, and we won’t lose much if we sell it next year. Don’t care what others say, we live our own lives.”

"Okay, Dad listens to you."

There was still more than an hour before noon, and the three of you had already entered the county seat. Luo Xin jumped off the bullock cart and said to Luo Ping:

"Father, you go to buy food first. I'll go to Uncle Lu's house and foster father's house. Since I have this speculation, I must inform them."

"Yes, Xin'er, you can go!"

Seeing the figures of his father and elder brother drifting away, Luo Xin turned and walked towards Lu Tingfang's house.Standing in front of the door of Lu Mansion, a sense of tranquility came over him, he stepped forward to hold the door knocker, knocked lightly three times, and then footsteps came from inside the door.

With a "squeak", the courtyard door opened, revealing the old man's face.His expression was stunned, Luo Xin hadn't come for a few days.Because Luo Xin has already read all the books in Lu Tingfang's study!However, he said politely:

"Master Luo is here."

"Old man, is Uncle Lu at home?"

"exist!"

Luo Xin nodded, and walked towards the study along the Qingshi Road, as if walking into a quiet picture scroll.He knew that under normal circumstances, Lu Tingfang would be in the study.When he came to the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly. Sure enough, Lu Tingfang's voice said:

"Come in!"

Luo Xin opened the door and walked in, Lu Tingfang was slightly startled: "Xin'er, why are you here today?"

"Greetings, Uncle Lu!" Luo Xin unhurriedly bowed to Lu Tingfang first, and Lu Tingfang nodded in satisfaction and said:

"sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" After Luo Xin sat down, without waiting for Lu Tingfang to speak, he said, "Uncle Lu, Xin'er has something to do here today."

"What's the matter?" Lu Tingfang leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Luo Xin.

"Xin'er feels that this year's situation will be bad. Although it will not cause a major drought, I am afraid that the drought will not be less. Please make some preparations as soon as possible. Of course..." Luo Xin's face showed a trace of embarrassment. Said: "Maybe Xin'er is worrying unnecessarily, but he is prepared."
