After giving instructions to the doorman, Su Yan turned back to the courtyard where she used to live and took over the baby.

While Su Yan was coaxing the child, she was anxiously waiting for Grandpa and Grandma He to come back.

Time seemed to be particularly long, and every minute and every second seemed like a century.

Finally, Su Yan heard the noise outside the yard.

She sat up suddenly and strode out.

Grandmother He just came back from outside and ran into Su Yan in the yard.

Seeing Su Yan coming out anxiously, he quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay."

Su Yan: "Not a disaster victim?"

Grandmother He paused: "...Yes."

Su Yan had a sense of fate that everything had settled, followed by an uncontrollable worry.

Turmoil, disaster victims and the like, these were things she would only see in TV dramas.

Now he is so close to me, even beside her.

How could this not make her shudder?

Seeing that Su Yan looked unhappy, Grandmother He quickly told her about the clan's arrangements, "The clan leader knows about this and has arranged for people in the clan to find out the scale of the victims."

"If the situation is bad, the clan will take action."

Yes, and clans.

Unlike the small families in modern times that are independent of each other, the ancient families were usually based on clans.

This means that when facing unknown dangers.

They will use blood ties as a bond to unite tightly to resist sudden disasters.

What's more, the He clan is one of the most important clans in the county, and its population is increasing year by year.

As a member of the He clan, Su Yan and the He family are already much better off than most people in the county.

Perhaps because he had a clear idea in his mind, Su Yan calmed down completely this time and started to think about other things.

The first one is food.

This is a must.

Grandpa and Grandma He, as well as He An and Su Yan, all had a strong sense of crisis awareness and saved a lot of money.

But for now, having food is important.

But what is more important is how to protect the food from being stolen or robbed.

Su Yan didn't dare to entrust her life to a group of starving people.

So she pulled Grandmother He into the house, waved away the servants, and whispered, "Grandma, we must store more food as soon as possible."

Grandmother He was startled, then looked at Su Yan with admiration. This child had a quick reaction.

She also whispered, "The clan leader has already told each family to be careful and prepare as much as possible."

"Fortunately, our family didn't sell much grain in previous years. Even if the harvest is poor this summer, the grain in our granary will be enough to last until the year after next."

She had always known that there was food in the old house, so she was not surprised by what Grandma He said.

She was always worried about another thing, "Grandma, now the county has already been flooded with disaster victims, and we don't know how many are outside the county."

"It's too dangerous to keep the food in one place. I think a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"We'd better divide the food into several portions and place them in different places to leave ourselves a way out."

Grandmother He was a little hesitant. "There are only a few victims now. The clan will also take action, and the county government will not sit idly by."

"Besides, we have plenty of maids and servants, so we won't let the victims in."

Su Yan was not so optimistic. What if there were a lot of disaster victims?

When it came to fleeing famine, people always fled together from a county or even a prefecture.

Although their place is just a remote small county, everyone escapes famine in order to survive, and generally goes to prosperous places.

But what if?

Su Yan, who had watched many TV dramas and documentaries, did not dare to harbor any luck, but she also knew that before anything happened.

It's a bit alarmist to say this.

It was because Grandmother He favored her. If it were someone else, she would probably think that she was disturbing the people's hearts and would have driven her out with a big stick.

It was also because Grandma He doted on her that she dared to speak her mind without restraint, "Grandma, if it didn't happen, we would just spend some effort, but if it really happened, it would save our lives."

Grandmother He was a little hesitant for a moment, although she admitted that what Su Yan said made sense.

But in fact, I also feel that Su Yan is a little too worried.

Although the world is considered good now, the emperor is capable and God has always been kind to him.

But every year, many people have to wander due to various reasons.

Even in their county, there is no shortage of such examples.

But considering that Su Yan is young, he hasn't experienced much.

It is normal to be worried because I was frightened when I first saw these victims.

Besides, building a new granary and transporting grain is not as easy as Su Yan imagined.

This is all the result of human and material resources.

And most importantly, her family had a lot of food, if only the servants were needed to pack it in bags and carry it back and forth.

Even if you do nothing, it will take half a month to lay the foundation.

Not to mention the manpower and resources consumed, if his family really made such a big noise, how could people outside not know about it?

The news that her family had food, and a considerable amount of it, spread at this sensitive time.

That would make people lose sleep and eat uneasy!

Su Yan saw that Grandmother He looked quite disapproving and a little anxious.

But it didn't happen, and she couldn't guarantee anything.

In fact, she herself had no idea whether it would happen.

He could only tell Grandma He, "Grandma, even if you can't rebuild the granary, you have to hide some food somewhere else."

"Find a few more places, just in case."

This method is a compromise and does not require too much manpower.

You just need to let your confidants do it, and you don’t have to worry too much about the news leaking out.

The most important thing is, as Su Yan said, this is also to leave a way out for yourself.

So this time Grandmother He agreed immediately and told Su Yan, "When your grandfather comes back, I will ask him to send someone to do it."

Su Yan quickly reminded, "Be sure to find someone you trust."

Grandmother He nodded to show that she understood.

After reaching a consensus on this matter, Su Yan could no longer sit still and wanted to go back to find He An.

Their families also need to make corresponding preparations.

She picked up Dudu, who was crawling on the ground, and said to Grandma He, "Grandma, I'm going to go home and find An first. He needs to know about this."

Grandma He looked at the sky outside and said, "It's almost noon. Are we leaving now?"

Su Yan nodded, "I won't eat here today, I'll come again tomorrow."

Grandma He thought about it and didn't try to persuade him to stay.

But she was worried, so she asked Cuilan to take her back.

When Su Yan arrived at the store, He An, Su Erlang and Wu Dalang were busy.

He An was a little surprised to see Su Yan coming back, "Why did you come back at this time today?"

Normally, I would have lunch at the old house and stay there until mid-afternoon.

Su Yan looked at the customers coming and going in the store, shook her head and said, "Nothing, Dudu was a little noisy today, so I took her back first and will go over tomorrow."
