Chapter 186 The Village Chief Also Wants to Buy Food
"Okay, then tell me," Liu Yingcai said, with a look of "I wonder what you can say," and waited with his hands behind his back.
Liu Xiaoxiao then told him the solution he had just thought of.
"This time we don't need a car, nor do we have to carry it ourselves. Look, where we are standing now is a long way away from the city gate." As she said this, she pointed to the corner ahead.
Zhufu said, "Yes! After leaving this street and walking down another one, you'll be almost there."
Liu Xiaoxiao continued, "Look, Grandpa, if I put the grain in a less crowded place behind the corner ahead, and then go to the meeting place we agreed with the village chief, tell my uncle Feng and the others that I bought grain but can't transport it, and then call my uncles over to help, wouldn't that be enough?"
When Liu Yingcai heard this, he thought it was a good idea.
Now that they had made the decision, they all got up and headed for the next street.
They soon found a deserted alleyway. Zhufu said, "Let's go here! I just observed that there are not many people entering or leaving this alley. And it looks like there should be a warehouse inside. We can then say that the store owner just took this grain for us from the warehouse."
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao also felt that this place was suitable. So when Liu Yingcai and Zhufu were guarding the intersection on both sides respectively, she just thought about it and released the six bags of food that they had agreed on long ago.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, it's okay," Liu Xiaoxiao called softly.
"Then you and your grandfather stay here and I'll go call for help." Liu Yingcai said and left.
Zhufu, who was left behind, just stared at the direction Liu Yingcai left for a while before asking, "Xiaoxiao, shouldn't you be the one doing this errand since you're young? Why did your grandfather do it?"
She didn't know how to answer her grandfather's question, so she made up a lie: "I'm just afraid that bad people will bully you. Besides, if something unexpected happens, I can still handle it here, right?" She mentioned the matter of selling grain just now with a meaningful look.
Although Zhufu didn't believe her nonsense, he thought that she didn't ask him to run errands, so he let her go this time.
Soon they saw Liu Yingcai bringing a large group of people.
Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly took a few steps forward, then grabbed Liu Yingcai's hand and asked, "Grandpa, why did you bring Great Grandpa and the others here?"
Liu Yingcai seemed to have known she would ask this question. After everyone had come closer, he explained to Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhufu, "When your great-grandfather and the others heard that I was going to get people to move the grain, they thought they could buy some to take back. Besides, they had just received a lot of reward silver when they went to the prefectural government to take over, so they wouldn't feel so bad about using that reward silver to buy grain. So, your uncles decided to go together and buy some to improve the family's meals."
"So that's how it is. Then, grandpa, you guys go quickly! We'll wait for you here." Liu Xiaoxiao said.
Then Liu Yingxiong took the villagers who came with him to the nearest grain store in the city.
After some bargaining, he finally bought all the grain as he wished.
When they finally returned to their temporary base outside the city, it was already evening.
Grandma Liu and Zhu Yun even walked back and forth towards the city gate several times.
Just as Liu Yunyi was about to go to the city gate to inquire about the news, Liu Yingcai and the others came back.
Zhu Yun looked at her daughter and father who had been in the city for most of the day and finally came back, and she was so happy that she went forward to greet them.
Liu Yunyi and Grandma Liu were with her. Of course, when Liu Yunyi saw the bag his father was carrying, he hurriedly wanted to reach out and take it, but was rejected by Liu Yingcai.
He said, "I can still carry this little bit. Go help your father-in-law."
