Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 183
Gao Ze and Wei Tong left early the next morning.

Bai Lan looked at the sunlight refracted in from the window, "Chen Yu, our side is not very far from the neighboring county, why is there such a big difference? The weather here is so good, and I don't know if the rain in the neighboring county has stopped. gone."

"What's the use of you worrying so much here? Later, when you go to town with a few daughters-in-law, you'll know if there are people coming and going."

"Actually, what I'm most curious about is whether the system's predictions are accurate. I'll go to the town later to see what the results are like?"

When Bai Lan came back from that visit to town, she excitedly told Chen Yu the good news she had heard, "Chen Yu, I heard that the rain in Zhoushui County next door has stopped. It seems that the system will also make mistakes. .The rain has stopped, and it seems that the catalyst will not be needed, which is better."

Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction with the good news, and told them that they knew that there would be a flood. If they didn't do something, they would feel uneasy. It would be better if the rain stopped like this.

On the next afternoon, when Li Xiaohe and the others came back from the town, they brought a piece of news to Bai Lan.

"Mother, the next county started to rain again today. It rained for several days last time, and the accumulated water hasn't dissipated yet. It's raining again this time. It looks like there may be a flood."

It never occurred to Bai Lan how the system's prediction could be wrong.

"Chen Yu, what should we do about this matter?"

"It seems that this flood is unavoidable, but I have read some history books that say that there must be a plague after the flood. It should be the result of not dealing with it well after the flood. It seems that we still have to prepare food."

"Okay, listen to you, prepare the food as soon as possible, and I have also watched those TV dramas, saying that many businessmen like to raise prices after disasters. Before these things come out, prepare the food early, and also We have to make a show and buy some food, otherwise we will take out too much food at one time, and people will be suspicious."

Chen Yu said with some concern: "There are a lot of grain types for [-] catties of grain, and it takes several shops to get them together."

"There's nothing to worry about. Isn't the village also going to start growing seedlings? There should be a lot of places selling grain seeds in the shop now, just buy a few more and get them together."

"Then we still have to let the boss and the others help to buy this matter. It depends on the two of us to buy it. I don't know when we will buy it."

"Let the boss and the others help to buy, then how do we explain to him, tell him that there may be a flood in Zhoushui County, we will prepare the food in advance. Who do you think will believe this?"

Bai Lan paused for a moment and said: "Or else it will be like this. I said that I have nothing to do at home, and I want to open another dim sum shop. Several dim sums need rice, so I plan to prepare some more and put them at home. .”

Chen Yu: "Are you really planning to open a dim sum shop, or is it just an excuse for this time?"

"Actually, I really want to open a dim sum shop. This dim sum shop is my dowry for Yaqiu."

"Yaqiu is not too young anymore, it's time to make plans for her. With such a shop, she won't have to worry about her financial resources in the future."

After the two discussed it for a while, they felt that this method was quite feasible, so Bai Lan told everyone about buying rice directly after dinner.

"Boss, second child, third child, and sixth child, starting tomorrow, you will go to various places to help me buy more rice and come back. Buy as much as you can, and you must also buy types of grain. The more types of grain, the better."

Chen Yunfan was curious, why did his parents need so much rice and seeds?It's not that they don't have enough food at home.They didn't sell any of the rice harvested last time, and kept all of them for their own consumption.

"Mom, what's the use of asking for so much rice all at once?"

"It's like this. I want to open a dim sum shop. There are a lot of dim sum in it. They all need rice. I just want to buy more and come back to figure out how to do it. Anyway, I need to buy rice, so I might as well buy more. Let it go."

Although everyone is still a little confused, even if you open a dim sum shop, you don't need to buy so much rice in large quantities.

The doubts are all doubts, but no one objected and said that there is no need to buy so much rice, and all of them nodded in agreement to show that they understand, and they will buy rice tomorrow.

This is what Bai Lan is most satisfied with. No matter what request he and Chen Yu make, as long as they know part of the reason, they will not ask the root cause, which saves her a lot of lies.God knows what a headache it is for her to think of so many excuses.

For three whole days, the four brothers kept transporting food and seeds back every day.

The people in the village saw that they just made up a few reasons at random. If they knew that their family planned to open a shop again, the number of people who said those sour words would definitely increase a lot.

What Bai Lan and Chen Yuren were worried about was that after three days, it was still raining heavily in Zhoushui County next door, but they hadn't heard of any floods yet, but as things went on like this, their worries became more and more serious.Moreover, they are just ordinary people, and if they want to inquire about news, they are naturally not as well-informed as Gao Ze and Wei Tong.

Bai Lan stood up straight away and said, "Forget it, I won't wait, I'll go to the town to see if Wei Tong is in the delicious building! If he is, I'll ask him for news."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, anyway, I'm idle at home, so it's good to go out for a walk."

What did Bai Lan suddenly think of? "Forget it, you'd better take me there. I don't know how to drive a carriage."

"Okay! If there is nothing else, let's take a stroll around the town."

"Is there anything good to go shopping in the town? It's such a big place. If you want to go shopping, you might as well go to the county town."

"If you want to go to the county town, you can. Anyway, I'm bored at home. I used to at least have a few children at home to read and write to pass the time. Now they study in the school every day. There are only I'm with you and Yaqiu."

"There are only three people in the family, why don't we invite Yaqiu together? Let's go to the county town and slowly accumulate some dowry for her."

When Chen Yu heard that he was going to call Chen Yaqiu, his eyes flickered a little, but he nodded in the end, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Yaqiu, your father and I are going to go shopping in the county town, you can come along, and I will pick out some jewelry for you by the way, as a dowry."

Chen Yaqiu hugged Bai Lan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, I don't want to marry so early. You saved me a dowry so early, do you want me to marry early?"

"You silly girl, why do I want you to marry out so early? Stay as late as you can. Being a daughter-in-law in your husband's family is not the same as being a girl at home. What I mean by accumulating dowry is thinking more Leave some confidence for you, if there is a good one, we will buy it first. Like those ladies from rich families, their dowry is not all accumulated since childhood. It's a pity that our family didn't have that condition before."

"Mom, I knew you were the best. I'll change clothes and go to the county with you."
