Chapter 264 Hoarding Food
But before Su Jinse could speak, Erdan's mother, who happened to go out, was heard by her and scolded the man fiercely, "I said you are sick, right? Do you want to have some shame when you use such words to joke with a child? Are you not a father or a mother? Are you not a human? Are you heartless?"
The man saw Erdan's mother so fiercely, and left embarrassedly.
Erdan Niang grabbed Su Jinse's hand and comforted him: "Baoer, don't listen to him nonsense. Even if Zhang Youqian's family lives a good life, they are not a good person. If you go to his house, you may torture you in some way."
Su Jinse blinked her big black eyes and smiled, "Thank you Aunt Liu. My parents are very nice to me, and my sister and brother treat me sincerely. This is my home, and I won't go anywhere."
Hearing the voice, Erdan's mother smiled and touched her head, "So good."
The days passed slowly. It was mid-May now, and it had been raining for nearly half a month. Sometimes it rained heavily and sometimes it would rain lightly, but the rain never stopped. The fields were full of water, and many crops and vegetables were flooded by water.
Because it rained, Su Jinse has not followed Zhang Tiezhu to the county recently. Zhang Tiezhu went there alone. He made several big straw raincoats, put one on his body, covered the load with one, and put the cake in Xiangmanlou for sale.
When Manager Lu saw that he was in the rain outside all day, he specially gave him a seat in the restaurant without occupying any space. This made Zhang Tiezhu very grateful. Every time he came, he would bring some food to Manager Lu or pickled vegetables he made at home.
The whole family arrived in the evening and sat at the dinner table to eat. Su Jinse slowly spoke, "Dad, let's stock up on some food at home."
"Stopping food?" Zhang Tiezhu was stunned when he heard this.
Li Hongxiang also looked puzzled, as if she didn't understand what she meant.
"It has been raining for more than half a month, and I feel that the rain will not stop. Will there be floods if this continues? We have to stock up on some food at home to be safer." Su Jinse frowned.
Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the problem.
Yes, it has been raining for more than half a month. If this continues, the crops you plant will definitely be gone!
It is best to stock up some food first. If there is a flood and no harvest, it will be a life-threatening person!
Anyway, if you have enough money at home, it is safer to buy more food.
So the next day, Zhang Tiezhu went to the county to sell cakes and buy grains. When asked about the price, it actually increased a lot!
Originally, the coarse grain costs five cents a dou, but now it is ten cents a dou! Originally, the fine rice costs twenty cents a dou, but now it has become thirty cents a dou!
Not only that, even oil, salt, sauce and other things have risen!
Zhang Tiezhu's face became slightly solemn, so he quickly bought 300 kilograms of coarse grains, 100 kilograms of fine rice, and 100 kilograms of fine noodles. He also bought a little oil, salt and sauce, and then he took the child home.
The next day, he found that the price of grain and other things had risen a little, and Zhang Tiezhu's face became worse and worse. He felt uneasy, so he bought some grain and decided to stock it up at home, and bought some wheat rice that had not been shedded.
After returning to the village, he told several neighbors about the food hoarding, and then told Grandma Li and Doctor Xu. Finally, he went to find Li Zheng and talked about the rain and flooding.
