As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

The next morning, Chen Yan got up early and went to the warehouse to prepare to distribute food. When he passed by Chen Qiqi's room, Zheng just opened the door and came out.

After the family division, although Zheng made it clear that she wanted to live with Chen Kang's family, her relationship with Chen's father still did not ease.

She had been sleeping in Chen Qiqi's room and had no intention of returning to the main room.

However, Chen Yan knew that his mother would soon soften her heart and live in harmony with him as before.

When Chen Qiqi and Qiqi saw Chen Yan coming, they called him "Third Brother" sweetly, with a hint of complaint in their tone.

"Ah."

Chen Yan gave her a strange look.

He looked at the innocent-looking girl in front of him. Normally, he would have felt a little distressed, thinking that he was useless as a brother for not being able to protect his sister.

But last night before going to bed, he listened to what Cui Yunzhu analyzed for him.

He couldn't help but wonder, is Chen Qiqi really a girl who is ignorant of the world?

Why was the crazy Wang brought to the room of her bedridden sister-in-law?

He responded coldly and went to the warehouse.

When Zheng saw her son like this, she thought he was still angry about what happened yesterday and didn't take it to heart.

She turned around and said to Chen Qiqi, "You can practice housework in your room today. You can make breakfast after you come back after distributing the food. You can also learn from her when the time comes. Don't be lazy anymore in the future."

"Ugh."

Zheng sighed sadly, turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

After waiting in front of the warehouse door for a while, Chen Ping came hurriedly, and Zheng opened the door with the key of the warehouse.

Chen Kang definitely couldn't come after being beaten like that, and Chen's father was also reluctant to come, so the three of them weighed the food together.

Chen Ping had just gone to the village chief's house to borrow a measure of rice.

Nowadays, not every household has a rice bucket. The rice bucket needs to be used every year, so the materials must be made of high-quality wood and the craftsmanship of experienced craftsmen.

Apart from the government warehouses and grain stores, usually only the wealthy families in the village would have them.

Good rice buckets are meant to be passed down from generation to generation, meaning that it is hoped that the abundance and wealth of the ancestors can continue from generation to generation.

Take Yulin Village for example. Only the rice measure from the village chief's house is the easiest to borrow. Even if other families have one, it is already worn out after being passed down for so many years, and they are reluctant to lend it to others.

If it breaks down after renting it out, the money won’t be enough to buy a new one, so it’s better not to rent it out.

Chen Ping also spent 5 cents to borrow money from the village chief, and he had to return it in time after using it.

Chen Yan insisted on giving Chen Ping three cents, but Chen Ping refused to take it: "Two cents is enough, I don't need that much."

"My second brother went to borrow rice early in the morning and traveled so far. I didn't contribute much, so I should pay a little more. Besides, if you calculate it carefully, it's not too much."

Chen Ping had no choice but to accept it with a smile.

He is most willing to work with the third brother, who will contribute when he is able and will not act stupid when it comes to paying money.

Unlike some people.

The main reason is that the brothers don’t have much savings, and 1 cent is the money they hold in their hands.

The two brothers began to unpack the grain bags and weigh them. One dou was about 1 jin. After they weighed them, they put 12.5 jin into each bag.

After working for a long time, I finally finished weighing. After filling 12 bags, there were still more than 2500 kilograms left, a total of more than kilograms.

In total, the family had more than 600 kilograms of food. After the two people each got three bags, they shared the remaining food. Basically, the food was divided very clearly.

The harvest is good this year, with more than 120 kilograms of yield per acre of land. An adult needs about 150 kilograms of food a year to eat well. The family received more than 600 kilograms. Chen Ping was very happy, as there would be a lot left after his family's consumption.

Chen Yan could not hide his joy. The food in his hands was all grown with his own hard work, and he knew that there would be a famine in the future, so he attached great importance to food.

When you build a new house in the future, you can store more and not worry about not being able to make it!

"Brother, if you trust me, listen to my advice. Don't sell the extra food, save it for your family! In the future, if you have some money, store more food, store it quietly, don't let others know."

Chen Ping was just about to move food into the house. When he heard this, he was shocked and quickly put down the bag on his shoulder.

As soon as the 200-jin bag landed on the ground, it instantly stirred up dust all over the ground. Chen Yan felt that the dust was about to fly into his throat, making his throat a little itchy.

He sincerely hoped that Chen Ping would listen to him and leave some protection for himself. After all, they were his flesh and blood, so he definitely wished the best for him.

The second brother has always been honest and kind, and he also has a child as young as Yaoyao, so he must prepare well!

But he was reluctant to say too much. After all, it concerned his wife. No matter how anxious he was, he could only say a few words.

"There is so much food left, and the leftovers can be sold for a lot of money. Why do we need to store food at home? This year's harvest is good, but who knows if next year's harvest will be even better."

Chen Ping was a little confused, but he felt that the third brother would not say these words for no reason, because he knew his own brothers.

"I got some news that the grain production in the north has begun to decline, and the water level in the wells has begun to sink. Now it is in the north, what about in the future?"

What's next?

Isn't it just the south?

Chen Ping held his breath, ready to listen carefully, but Chen Yan suddenly stopped the topic.

"There might be a famine soon. I just heard about it, so I want to remind you, brother, that it's always good for you to be prepared!"

This was the second time Zheng heard Chen Yan talk about it. If he hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

She must trust her son out of selfishness. But now she is living with the eldest brother. How can she convince him?

The relationship between the eldest and the third son is so strained, and with Chen's father around, it might not be possible for her to persuade them to stockpile food.

And with the restless Wang around, she would never tell anyone that the news came from the third brother.

Who knows what bad intentions she might have!

Chen Ping was different. He felt that the third brother was always reliable and would not say such things for no reason.

But if the grain on hand is not sold, if nothing happens and the harvest is good next year, this year's old rice will be left unsold, and the family will be short of money again.

So he was a little hesitant.

"Hey, no matter what, you are doing this for my own good. Thank you, second brother! Let me go back and discuss this with your sister-in-law and see what to do."

"Oh, by the way, Mom, we have to keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone that it was the third brother who said it."

Everyone knows what's going on in the north. If this is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, they can be easily crushed to death.

"Don't worry, mother knows that you are a bastard. I will never harm my own son. But it will be difficult for you to get your father to stock up on food."

Zheng poked Chen Ping's head, and now it was her turn to worry.

Chen Ping smiled, raised his hand and patted Chen Yan's shoulder. With the help of Chen Yan, he lifted the bag of grain again and carried it on his back, bringing the grain to his room.
