222 hoard firewood(1/2)

As for eating and drinking, he and his father went into the mountains to collect firewood, and from time to time they would find something in the mountains.

Coupled with the money earned from collecting firewood and the subsidy given by Yaomei, it may not be possible to survive.

After hearing this, Wang Xiaomei felt relieved.

"Don't worry about food. I have almost eight hundred kilograms of brown rice and noodles here. If you and dad save a little, you should be able to eat for a while." He added.

She and her sister-in-law just bought 550 kilograms of brown rice and noodles, and together with what they had been stocking up on before, there was 800 kilograms of everything.

Wang Dashan was shocked.

"This - so many?" It was a bit unbelievable.

Miss Wang nodded.

"But please keep this a secret for now. Don't tell dad yet."

"When you move to the town, come to my place to move the food away."

Wang Dashan thought for a while and nodded.

"good."

Immediately, his face became a little hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." This made Wang Xiaomei laugh.

"Those grains of yours——" Wang Dashan asked.

Wang Xiaomei's eyes fluctuated.

"Oh. I stocked it up before."

"My sister-in-law said before that food prices might rise. After I made money, I converted all the money into food and hoarded it." Wang Xiaomei said pretending to be relaxed.

"It's a good thing you did that, otherwise, you and dad would have suffered a lot from now on."

"It's all replaced by food?!" Wang Dashan was shocked.

Wang Xiaomei was stunned.

Then he nodded.

"Um."

"So, you can only pay for the rent yourself."

"We should pay for the rent ourselves!" Wang Dashan said immediately.

"How much did you spend on those grains?!" he asked anxiously.

Wang Xiaomei's eyes moved.

"Not much." He replied.

"Oh, don't ask these big brothers."

"At this juncture, food is more important than money."

"If the money is gone, we will continue to make money later. As long as you live and don't let your hands be idle, you will make money sooner or later."

Wang Dashan was silent.

When Wang Xiaomei saw this, she smiled again.

"By the way, we should hurry up about renting a house. It's best to finalize it within ten days."

Previously, her sister-in-law asked her to take away the food within half a month.

If her eldest brother and father didn't come to get the food, she would have no choice but to put it in her house.

By then, I'm afraid it will take up a lot of space.

In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether the people in Xiashui Village escape or not.

It would be more cost-effective for my eldest brother and dad to live in the town.

After all, the rent is only one hundred cents a month, but it can save the two of them time on the road.

If you save this time, you may be able to load an extra cart of firewood.

Before Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu bought a yard, they were thinking about going back to Xia Shui Village to live there.

But as a result, after arriving in the town, I never considered going back at all.

Although I also complained, saying that there are many places to spend money in the town, you have to spend money to buy this, and you have to spend money to buy that.

But I also like the cleanliness and convenience of the town, and I actually like my current life.

A flash of hesitation flashed across Wang Dashan's face.

After his sister looked over, he nodded.

"After I go back, I will find time to discuss it with dad," he said.

If it was a discussion, he could basically be sure that his father would be happy.

In fact, once he mentioned it, he would be eager to move immediately.

After all, the old man often said in front of him that he envied the Song family and the Liu family.

Thinking of this, Wang Dashan sighed in his heart.

He would still be useless, if it weren't for his sister who made these arrangements.

Next, he really didn't know what to do.

The brother and sister talked for a while, and at this time, Qin Xiaoyao came over.

"Sister-in-law!" The two of them greeted Qin Xiaoyao one after another.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and nodded.

"Dashan." He looked at Wang Dashan.

"Hey, sister-in-law!" Wang Dashan responded quickly.

"I ordered 85 loads of firewood before, how many have been delivered?" Qin Xiaoyao asked.

Wang Dashan was stunned.

I thought about it for a while.

"Including today, there are forty-six loads. I still owe you thirty-nine loads," he said.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"I heard that the price of firewood has increased now?" he asked again.

Wang Dashan was stunned again.

Then a smile appeared on his face.

"It has gone up a bit, but it does not affect what you ordered before. I will give you the remaining thirty-nine loads of firewood!" he said.

The Song family treated his sister well and allowed her to earn so much money. He acknowledged this in his heart.

When Wang Xiaomei heard this, she nodded. She obviously agreed with her brother's words.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

"The entrance fee has gone up. If you calculate it based on the original price, you will lose a lot."

"Let's do this. I'll give you two cents for each load of firewood, which will help you subsidize your entry fee."

"But, next, you have to give priority to providing firewood to my family. Within a month, deliver all the thirty-nine loads of firewood you owe me."

Seeing Wang Dashan's surprised expression, Qin Xiaoyao smiled and said, "My firewood shed is not full yet."

"Also, you can pile some firewood in the utility room."

There are a lot of things stored in the utility room and attic at home, and they need to be covered up.

In addition, it is also good to store more firewood at home now.

According to Xianggong, Lingquan Town will be closed down in a while.

Then, until a military disaster occurs, the city gate will be opened again.

"Sure!" Wang Dashan responded quickly.

Qin Xiaoyao then left.

Then, the Wang brothers and sisters chatted for a while before Wang Dashan left.

After coming to town this time, Wang Dashan felt a lot more at ease after listening to his sister's words.

After returning home, I was not idle and continued to deliver firewood to the town.

After delivering firewood for the second time, I went home.

Wang Laoshuan is also at home.

A pot of porridge was cooked, and the side dishes were pickles and previously dried locusts.
