Academician of a Great Power: Reborn as an Educated Youth in 1977

Chapter 2: Gathering More Food

Is this the same He Shan who is greedy for money?

Wang Tingting couldn't help but ask: "Did something happen? Have you made enough money? Are you not going to do it anymore?"

"how is this possible?"

He Shan denied it flatly: "Of course I will continue to do it in the future. Didn't Brother Lin say that he is not at home these days? He is not at home and I will guard you. Is there no problem?"

"The two of us are so close, and your belly is getting bigger and bigger in the blink of an eye, especially in the past two months. You need someone to watch you the most. If I'm not here, how can you feel relieved?"

"If something happens to you, do you still expect Ruru to find the adults? It will probably be too late by then!"

He Shan's worries were indeed justified, but Lin Ze and Wang Tingting found it strange.

I always feel that the key point of the matter is not here. Maybe He Shan said part of the reason is this, but I am afraid that only He Shan knows the more reasons.

Seeing that He Shan didn't want to talk, Lin Ze didn't ask any more questions.

If He Shan wanted to say something, she would definitely tell Wang Tingting that there was no need to harp on other people's private matters.

Lin Ze changed the subject and said, "Daughter-in-law, speaking of crops, I have some bad news to tell you."

"Although this year's crops may be growing better as you said, it may not be a good year."

Wang Tingting and He Shan suddenly became serious. He Shan was the first to ask: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Ze thought of his previous life. After autumn, it rained continuously.

This was originally a good thing. After all, a severe drought in Wangjia Village a few years ago resulted in no harvest.

But God is not beautiful enough. It doesn’t rain when it’s going to rain, and it keeps raining when it shouldn’t rain.

If it rained halfway and stopped in time, it wouldn't be a big deal. Unfortunately, it started raining without stopping. Not only did the water surge in the three river bends in Wangjiacun, it also washed away all the crops!

It is called a heavy rain that is rare in a hundred years.

There is no need to feel bad if the crops are not growing so well. What makes people feel bad is that this year was originally thought to be a good year, but it was ruined by a heavy rain.

The heavy rain lasted for more than half a month. When the weather cleared, the villagers hurried out to collect food.

Unexpectedly, most of the crops rotted in the ground.

The crops that could be harvested were very pitiful. Lin Ze guessed that this was probably one of the important reasons why many people in Wangjia Village starved to death.

Although Lin Ze was trying his best to save it in this life, he couldn't control God's affairs.

All he can do is to prevent the people of Wangjiacun from not having enough to eat!

Lin Ze informed He Shan and Wang Tingting of his analysis of the weather.

He Shan and Wang Tingting both looked confused. Wang Tingting could understand it somewhat, but He Shan couldn't understand it at all.

"Brother Lin, you know so much!"

He Shan sighed with emotion: "What is that big series of numbers like you mentioned? My head is spinning."

"If we hadn't spoken the same language, I would have suspected that you were from outside!"

Lin Ze laughed awkwardly a few times, and then said: "It's normal if you don't understand."

Thinking of his previous life, Lin Ze also knew that there was such a heavy rain.

But he didn't pay much attention. If he had returned to Wangjiacun at that time, would he have been able to help them solve this crisis?

Lin Ze shook his head helplessly, probably not!

After all, he was under the control of Sun Wenwen's family at that time. Let alone coming back, even if he was going to go, he had to report to Sun Wenwen immediately, otherwise she would be beaten and thrown at home.

Thinking of the days in his previous life where life was worse than death, Lin Ze felt more and more that life today was so wonderful!

"Brother Lin, if it's like what you said, it won't be long before there will be a heavy rainstorm. The crops are not completely in control. It is impossible to harvest all the crops at this time!"

"Yes, and even if you say it, the villagers probably won't believe it! Even if it's what you said, Brother Lin."

Of course Lin Ze knew that everyone in Wangjia Village trusted him, but it was really difficult to say anything about crops.

Just like the cabbage you have worked so hard to raise, it is about to be harvested, and suddenly someone tells you that the cabbage has been eaten by pigs!

They didn't even see the shadow of a pig. Of course they wouldn't believe it if they were just talking nonsense!

Even if he believed it, it could not change the established facts, so Lin Ze decided to take precautions before it happened.

"What we need to do now is to stock up on more food for emergencies. Of course, this is not something you should consider. Leave it to me."

"Brother Lin, you are so reliable!"

He Shan was flattering him nearby. While flattering him, he turned on the TV, held a small stool, and watched TV leisurely.

"You really enjoy it."

He Shan smiled and peeled an apple for Wang Tingting. Wang Tingting sat on the sofa and pulled He Shan back.

"Don't sit so close. I used to scold Ruru when she sat so close!"

"Haha, then you can reprimand me as if I were your daughter!"

Seeing the two of them getting along happily, Lin Ze felt relieved.

The next day, Lin Ze arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative very early.

In front of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, there is a small window where you can exchange food stamps.

Lin Ze withdrew a lot of cash and a check in case of emergency.

When the young woman saw Lin Ze, she had a friendly smile on her face.

Lin Ze has been to the supply and marketing cooperative several times. Almost all the salesmen, as long as they are not new here, know Lin Ze.

As soon as he came over, he immediately put on an all-around smile.

“I don’t know what you need to redeem?”

"Exchange me for 600 pounds of national food stamps."

"Okay...wait! Exchange for what?"

The young woman rubbed her ears and suspected that she heard wrongly!

Lin Ze repeated it again, and the young woman's hand holding the single ticket was trembling.

"Wait a minute!"

The young woman turned around and spoke to the lobby manager who was not far away. The bald lobby manager walked over quickly and looked at Lin Ze with a smile on his face.

"Haha, you are Comrade Lin, right? Seeing is better than hearing. I was just about to say hello to you!"

Lin Ze frowned. He didn't want to get involved with the person opposite him. If his guess was correct, he was probably the lobby manager of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"My surname is Xu, you can just call me Xiao Xu."

"I heard that you want to redeem food stamps for 600 kilograms of food stamps. You are a big customer. But recently, there are only 300 kilograms of food stamps left. Do you think it's okay?"

Lin Ze nodded, "300 pounds is 300 pounds. If you have any extra meat tickets, give them to me and I'll redeem them together!"

"I don't have meat stamps. If you want to redeem food stamps, just come with me."

"In addition to food stamps, there are also some face stamps and gas stamps."

"I want it all."
