My courtyard shelter

As soon as the tea party ended, Xu Ma and Yang Lina hurried back to the courtyard. Read М

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xu Ma shouted loudly: "Old man, Dongzi, come out quickly, something big has happened."

Xu Dong was holding Xiaobao in the bedroom and enjoying the air conditioning. He ran outside immediately after hearing the sound.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Xu Ma took a breath and asked: "Where is your dad? Why can't I see him?"

"Dad is in the basement. He has to saw wood today. The machine is too loud and he is afraid of disturbing Xiaobao."

After Xu Dong said this, he put Xiaobao on the ground, and then Yang Lina led the triplets into the house. Before leaving, she gave a reassuring look.

"Hurry up and call him up. Let's discuss something together later." Xu Ma ordered.

"Okay!"

Ten minutes later, the family gathered in the living room. Xu's mother seemed to open up and talked about the news she had heard at the tea party.

"Old Sun used to be a teacher. She is very smart and must not be talking nonsense."

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

"Oh, I should have known not to sell dried chicken and bacon. They were sold at a low price." Dad Xu regretted.

Xu's mother was also indignant: "That Li Chao is obviously a profiteer, not a good person."

What else can Xu Dong say? He can only persuade: "Dad, Mom, calm down, don't we still have dried rabbit and goose at home? It's definitely enough for us to eat."

Xu's mother originally planned to sell these, but Xu Dong forced her to do so, and the Coco sisters clamored for meat, so she kept them.

"There are still dozens of kilograms of donkey meat." Yang Lina added.

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

Xu Dong nodded in agreement, and now he can hoard supplies openly.

"Old man, how much rice is left in the store?" Xu's mother looked at Xu's father and asked.

"If I remember correctly, there should be 33 bags, all of which are 50 kilograms of medium bags."

"What is 33 times 50?" Xu's mother looked at Xu Dong.

"30 times 50 plus 150, a total of 1650 kilograms." Xu Dong calculated quickly.

Mother Xu estimated in her mind and said, "It's almost enough for our family to eat for a year, there should be no problem."

The annual food ration for an adult is about 300 kilograms. There are four adults and five children in the old Xu family, so even if there is a difference, it won't be much.

"Mom, don't forget the 6 bags of rice that Aunt Sun wants." Yang Lina reminded at the right time.

"Look at my memory." Mother Xu slapped her forehead and then changed the subject: "Otherwise, don't sell it to them. Our family only has one year's food ration. I don't know what will happen next year?"

"Then how do we explain it?" Yang Lina blushed a little.

"Just say that your father secretly sold it all..."

Xu Dong didn't want his mother's circle of friends that he had worked so hard to build to end like this. The old Xu family will have to live in this street for decades in the future!

Besides, this matter would affect his reputation, so he interrupted her immediately:

"Don't! Mom, we still have dozens of tons of...seeds in our warehouse, including rice, wheat, and grains. We don't lack food at home, and it's enough for us to eat for decades. We don't need to break our promise."

"Really?" Xu's mother said in surprise.

Yang Lina was also overjoyed, and Xu's father was even more relieved.

"Of course it's true. I'll take you to see it later."

Since the news has spread outside, Xu Dong doesn't plan to hide it. He can appropriately disclose some supplies to reassure his family.

Xu's mother grabbed her youngest son and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go now."

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

Fearing that a few people would not believe it, Xu Dong personally opened a bag of "rice seeds", and the yellow rice grains were revealed.

Xu's father and mother both stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice grains, and then they believed it was true.

Mother Xu said happily: "Now we don't have to lie to Old Sun and the others."

At the same time, Xu Dong suddenly told his family with a serious face:

"Dad, Mom, Nana, no one knows the sequelae of the solar flare now, and the world may be in chaos in the future.

So you must not tell anyone about the food in our warehouse, keep it secret, and don't even tell the eldest brother and my sister.

By the way, don't bring Keke and the others into the warehouse in the future, children can't control their mouths."

Dad Xu nodded solemnly, and Mother Xu and Yang Lina were still a little confused, as if they had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Dongzi, will the world really be in chaos in the future?" Mother Xu asked in surprise.

Xu Dong nodded: "It is very likely. In fact, what Aunt Qian said is right. It is hot during the day and cold at night. There is definitely something wrong with the atmosphere, but it is not the end of the world yet.

Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you. You just need to know that the climate is abnormal and food production is 100% certain to decrease.

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

Seeing that several people's faces were pale, Xu Dong hurriedly comforted them again: "In fact, there is no need to worry too much. These are just my speculations. Maybe the atmosphere will return to normal in two years."

"In short, it is better to be prepared!" Xu Dong emphasized at last.

...

Back to the ground, the group's faces were a little gloomy. The Coco sisters thought that the "bullying" of the triplets had been discovered, and they hid far away.

"Old man, you and Dongzi go to the store quickly and bring back all the remaining things." Xu's mother urged, and at the same time, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.

Xu's father nodded to show that he understood.

Ten minutes later, the convenience store arrived.

The father and son began to empty the convenience store. What daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, the few remaining side dishes and groceries, and rice were all moved onto the small truck.

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

Usually, smoking is strictly prohibited at home, not even outside the courtyard wall. If Xu's mother sees it, she will scold him.

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

Xu Dong didn't want to irritate his father. Anyway, he could afford the rent. "Let's put it aside for now and see how the situation develops. The location of this store is pretty good."

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

"Dad, how about I build a recycling store for used electronic products for you?" Xu Dong thought about it and suggested. He mainly wanted to find something for his father to do. Xu's father is a person who can't sit still.

In the future, as the drought continues, the recycling industry will be a very popular industry with a very considerable profit margin.

"This requires a certain technical threshold, right? Dad knows nothing about electronic products!" Xu's father was really tempted.

Xu Dong waved his hand and explained: "It doesn't matter, we can just hire an employee who knows the technology, and you can still be the store manager."

"Is this okay?"

"Of course it will work, the store is empty anyway, it might as well be used. Hey, Dad, the waste I'm talking about is not you, I mean the store."

Dad Xu: "..."
