My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 29 Showdown (2)

As soon as the tea party was over, Xu Ma and Yang Lina hurried back to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the yard, Xu Ma shouted loudly, "Old man, third child, you two come out quickly, something big has happened."

Xu Dong was blowing the air conditioner in the bedroom with Xiaobao in his arms. Hearing the sound, he immediately ran outside.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Xu's mother took a breath and asked, "what about your dad, why didn't you see anyone?"

"Dad is in the basement. Today, I have to saw wood. The noise of the machine is too loud. I'm afraid it will disturb Xiaobao."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he put Little Treasure 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 let's discuss something together later." Xu Ma ordered.

"Okay!"

After 10 minutes, the whole family gathered in the living room, Xu's mother seemed to open up the chatterbox, telling the news that she had inquired at the tea party in one breath.

"Lao Sun used to be a teacher. She's smart. It's definitely not nonsense."

Dad Xu's expression was a bit complicated at this time, and everything made sense. It turned out that Li Chao was not a big fat sheep, but the fat sheep was himself.

What a irony this is!
"Hey, I knew that we wouldn't sell dried chicken and bacon anymore, and I lost a lot of money." Dad Xu said angrily.

Xu Ma was also filled with righteous indignation: "That Li Chao is not a good thing at first glance, a big profiteer."

What else can Xu Dong say, he can only persuade:
"Dad, Mom, calm down, don't we have a batch of meat left in our family? It's definitely enough for us to eat by ourselves."

Xu Ma originally planned to sell them all, but Xu Dongqiang pulled them, and the two Coco sisters were clamoring for meat, so they stayed.

"There are still dozens of catties of donkey meat in the refrigerator." Yang Lina added immediately.

Xu Ma waved her hand and sighed: "Forget it, everything is sold, it's too late to say anything! Now the most important thing in our family is the rice in the store."

Xu Dong nodded in agreement, now he can stock up on supplies in an open and fair manner.

"Old man, how much rice is left in the store?" Xu Ma looked at Xu Dad and asked.

"If I remember correctly, there should be 33 more bags, all of which are [-]-jin middle bags."

"What is 33 times fifty?" Mama Xu looked at Xu Dong.

"Thirty times fifty, plus one hundred and fifty, is a total of 650 catties." Xu Dong calculated quickly.

Xu Ma estimated in her heart and said, "It's almost enough for our family to eat for a year, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

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

"Mom, don't forget that there are also 6 bags of rice that Aunt Sun and the others want." Yang Lina reminded at the right time.

"Look at my memory." Xu Ma patted her forehead, and then changed the topic: "Otherwise, I won't sell it to them. Our family only has one year's rations. We don't know what to do next year?"

"Then how should we explain it?" Yang Lina blushed.

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

Xu Dong didn't want the circle of friends that his mother finally established to end, and the old Xu family would live in this street for decades in the future!

This is too prestigious to be worth it at all, so I hurriedly interrupted:

"Don't! Mom, we still have dozens of tons of seeds in the basement of our house, including rice, wheat, and miscellaneous grains. In fact, there is no shortage of food at home. We have enough to eat for decades. There is no need for us to break our trust. "

"Really?" Xu Ma said in surprise.

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 the wind has spread outside, Xu Dong doesn't plan to hide it, so he can properly disclose some materials, which can be regarded as the heart of the family.

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

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

Afraid that a few people would not believe it, Xu Dong cut open a bag of "rice seeds" with his own hands, only to see that the rice inside was really yellow and orange.

Dad Xu and Mom Xu both stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice, only then did they believe it was true.

Xu Ma said happily: "You don't have to lie to Lao Sun and the others now."

She has the best face, and the most fearful thing is to be criticized.

At the same time, Xu Dong suddenly asked his family with a serious expression:
"Dad, Mom, Nana, no one knows the sequelae caused by solar flares now, maybe the world will be in chaos in the future.

Therefore, you must not talk about the food in our warehouse, you must keep it secret, not even the boss and my sister.

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

Dad Xu nodded solemnly, while Mom Xu and Yang Lina were still a little stunned, as if they didn't 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, what Aunt Qian said 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 over yet.

Alas, you don’t understand even after talking about it. As long as you know that the climate is no longer normal, the reduction in grain production is 100% certain.

There is not enough food to eat, is the world still far from chaos?Fortunately, several major countries have nuclear buttons, otherwise the Third World War would definitely not have started. "

Seeing that the faces of several people were 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, our family has to prepare for the worst!"

……

Back on the ground, the whole group looked a little gloomy, but the Coco sisters thought that the "bullying" of the triplets had been discovered, and they all hid away.

"Old man, hurry up and go to the store with Dongzi and bring back all the rest." Xu Ma urged, at the same time there was an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.

Dad Xu nodded and said he knew.

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 only remaining non-staple food and groceries, and rice were all loaded into the minivan.

After the installation, the father and son sat at the gate and smoked together.

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

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

Xu Dong didn't want to stimulate his father, and the landlord gave a lot of rent relief, so the burden was not heavy, so he said:

"Let's put it aside first and see the situation. The location of this store is quite good."

"If it doesn't work, just return it. The rent of 20,000 yuan a month is not worth it." Dad Xu sighed.

"Dad, why don't I get you a recycling shop for used electronic products?" Xu Dong thought about it and suggested.

The main thing is to find something to do for my father. Father Xu is a person who can't be idle.

Moreover, as the drought continues to worsen, resource recycling is definitely a very hot industry with very considerable profit margins.

"Doing this business requires a certain technical threshold, but I don't know anything about electronic products, why don't I change my business?"

Xu Dad was still moved.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Xu Dong waved his hand and explained: "Let's just hire an employee who understands technology. You can still be your store manager and be in charge of the general direction."

"Can this work?"

"Definitely, the store is empty anyway, so it's better to use it as waste.

cough……

Dad, I'm not talking about you, I mean the storefront. "

Dad Xu: "..."

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection, ask for a comment...
