Chapter 140: Foresight

Thank you very much for your reward for your invincible student!

*

"Yes, dad! I won't say it! No one said it!" Luo Qing's face turned red when he heard his father mention Yunniang.

Luo Ping looked up at the sky outside the window. It was already light, so he got off the kang and put on his shoes and said to Luo Qing: "Qing'er, go with your father to practice martial arts."

"Yes, dad!"

Luo Qing jumped off the kang quickly, put on his shoes and walked out with Luo Ping. Luo Xin also started to wear clothes, but was stopped by Luo and said:

"Xin'er, you should sleep for a while!"

"No, mom." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I've already slept, I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Seeing that Luo Xin was indeed nothing, Luo no longer stopped him and began to get busy. Luo Xin put on his clothes, got off the kang and put on his shoes, washed his face, and walked into the yard with a folding fan. He was wailed by the cool morning breeze and became more awake.

"call……"

After letting out a long breath, Luo Xin made a decision in his heart that he would never be drunk again.

After practicing Tai Chi, I started to think about the fan method. Until my father and elder brother came back, the three of them returned to the house to wash. At this time, Luo had already put the breakfast on the table, and the family of four started to eat.

No one spoke at the dinner table, so they all finished breakfast soon. Luo Shi stood up and started to clean up the table. Luo Ping also stood up and said to Luo Qing:

"Qing'er, go to the field to work."

"Dad!" Before Luo Qing could agree, Luo Xin hurriedly said, "Sit down first, I have something to discuss with you."

Luo Ping sat down again and looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin's status is different now at home, especially after winning the literary battle, Luo Ping felt that Luo Xin would come to make any major decisions in the family in the future. Now, when he heard that Luo Xin had something to discuss with him, he immediately took it seriously. Even Luo put down his work and sat down.

"Dad, I'm worried that the crop harvest will be bad this year. You know what it is. From your perspective, what will the harvest this year?"

Luo Ping frowned and thought for a while, "It has not rained yet, which has affected the crop harvest. If the rain is enough in the future, the harvest this year will be only 80% of the year. If the rain is insufficient, it is hard to say. However, I guess there will be no severe drought, and there will be 60% of the harvest. Xin, what do you think?"

"We dig a larger cellar at home, and it is best to dig a more secret cellar, and then go to the county town to buy some grain to store it."

Luo Ping looked stunned: "Xin'er, do you mean there will be a severe drought this year?"

Luo Xin has recalled the memories of his previous life these days. It seems that although this year is not a severe drought, the drought is not light. It is definitely not as my father said. I am afraid that the crops will not be harvested 60% of them. If the court does not reduce taxes, there will probably be people who starve to death. Even if there is no refugee situation, many people will fall into poverty. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel moved. This is also an opportunity to buy land!

Not to mention the years of famine, even ordinary droughts and floods will make some families with land sell their land because they have no food, become homeless, and become long-term workers in other people's families. Many landlords have gradually accumulated this way. Luo Xin has no discomfort in buying these people's fields. The fittest survives, which is the case in any era.

Let's talk about it...

Even if you don’t buy it yourself, others will buy it! Why not buy it?

"Dad, I'm not ripe with crops, but I feel that the situation this year is probably not good. Besides, our family is not unable to afford it now, so it's safe to be prepared."

“Then how much do we buy?”

"You have to prepare a year's ration!" Luo Xin said while calculating: "The three men in our family may not be enough for 50 kilograms of rice a month, so we will buy 500 kilograms of rice and 500 kilograms of noodles! One hundred kilograms per bag, only ten kilograms. In order not to be conspicuous, we can buy five chews in two times and at one time."

"Or..." Luo Ping thought for a while and said, "Buy two thousand kilograms? That's only... twenty bags, we buy them in four times!"

"Why buy so much?" said the mother next to her: "There are more than 100 kilograms of grain stored at home."

Luo Xin blinked his eyes and understood his father's thoughts. Dad was preparing for his grandfather's family. If there was a shortage of food, it would be better to give it to his grandfather's family. Dad was secretly preparing for his grandfather's family instead of telling his grandfather's family to buy food first. Luo Xin understood that he was afraid that after telling his grandfather, he would not believe that there would be a shortage of food, but instead called his father a spendthrift. He just wanted to help his grandfather's family with food shortage.

Luo Xin sighed in his heart. He knew that he could not stop such a thing, nor could he stop it. If Luo Xin dared to stop it, his father would be extremely disappointed with him. Moreover, Luo Xin did not want to stop it. Even if Luo Xin looked down on his grandfather's family, he was not so heartless that he ignored his grandfather's family's life or death. After all, this is his father's father, and he could not do this even for his father. Moreover, his family's condition is not bad for that. Then he nodded and said:

"Just buy as my father said."

Luo Ping's expression was just happy, and Luo Xin's heart suddenly became bright. As long as his father was happy, he could do whatever he wanted! But there are some things that he still needs to remind him.

"Dad, don't you want to remind grandpa about buying food?"

Luo Ping's expression hesitated and said, "It's useless for me to remind you."

"It's useful or not, please remind me! Don't blame dad in your heart then."

"Okay!" Luo Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"But..." Luo Xin's expression became serious: "You can't tell grandpa how much food our family is going to buy. If grandpa asks, we will say we bought five hundred kilograms."

"Why?" Luo Ping looked at Luo Xin in confusion.

"Dad, the one thousand kilograms of grain you bought were prepared for grandpa, right?" Luo Xin said softly.

"What?" Luo immediately raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, but the idea of ​​filial piety and brotherhood was deeply rooted, making her unable to say anything, and in the end she just said:

"At worst, we can take our parents-in-law to our house for dinner in the future. Why do we prepare so much for them? How much can our parents-in-law eat? That thousand pounds include the one-year-old and uncle? No, I don't agree."

Luo Ping glared at Luo and said, "Shut up."

Then he turned to Luo Xin and said, "Xin'er..."

"Dad, just prepare it for grandpa, and the child has no objection."

"Oh!" Luo Ping smiled and Luo said "stop", but thought that his father-in-law and his family would eat their own status at that time...

A smile suddenly opened!

Seeing the joyful look between his mother's eyebrows, Luo Xin couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. This is the Ming Dynasty. However, it is worth losing some money to make his mother happy.
