On the day of paying the public grain tax, Zhang Degen led everyone in the village, driving an ox cart and pushing a cart, and the group delivered the grain to the grain station in a mighty manner.
Seeing the Zhaojia Village driving the tractor in the front, this time, no one in Fanglin Village showed any envy. The team leader said that the village would buy a tractor after the New Year, so their Fanglin Village would soon have a tractor as well, and there was no need to envy Zhaojia Village at all.
Everyone came back in the evening, with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Degen looked at Li Miaomiao and smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Guoan wife, today we have to thank Guoan for our smooth payment of public grain. We have been rated as excellent."
Li Miaomiao blinked, still not understanding
Pei Guoan's transfer order arrived two days ago and he went to work at the Public Security Bureau in the county. The issue of paying public grain has nothing to do with Pei Guoan.
"Did Pei Guoan go over to help?"
"That's right. It was just a coincidence. Guoan happened to run into us when he was doing some work. He had a few words with the grain station leader, and that's how we were able to pay our grain tax smoothly. Although our grain is good this year and should have been rated excellent, it's been the same in previous years. We were always downgraded."
Zhang Degen felt that Pei Guoan and his wife were the lucky stars of the village. With them around, good things would happen to the village all the time.
Li Miaomiao understood what was said. It turned out that they happened to meet Pei Guoan.
With Pei Guoan's ability and the male protagonist's luck, it is normal for him to have a friend at the grain station.
"We are all from the same village, and Guoan is from our village. If we meet him, we must help him."
Li Miaomiao spoke beautifully, and everyone was even more convinced of her.
"But Guoan's wife, we're going to the county town today. The nearby villages have all had a good harvest and are very well-stocked. Shouldn't we trade our extra grain for something?"
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Anyway, I won't sell it. I have food in my hands, so I don't have to worry. No matter what I exchange for, it's not as practical as having food stored in my own warehouse."
Everyone, who were originally a little hesitant, nodded after hearing what Li Miaomiao said. Some people from well-off families even decided to buy some more while food was cheap.
Li Miaomiao also planned to buy some more food and store it at home, but even though it was cheaper and more convenient to buy it in the village, she still decided to go to the county town to buy it. She didn't want others to know that she had stored food at home. This kind of thing was best done secretly, otherwise she would become a target of others.
When Pei Guoan came back in the evening, Li Miaomiao told him about this matter.
"I thought that food is cheap right now, so I might as well buy some and keep it at home. That way I can feel at ease and never go hungry again."
Li Miaomiao couldn't tell Pei Guoan about the drought next year, so she thought about it and found this reason. Otherwise, why would she store so much food at home at a time like this? It didn't make sense at all.
When Pei Guoan heard what Li Miaomiao said, a trace of heartache flashed across his face.
I didn’t know what life was like for Li Miaomiao and her son when the accident first happened, but now that I’ve been in the village for so long, I know.
Even if Li Miaomiao had support from her parents, food was a tight supply for everyone these days, not to mention the eldest wife and her husband with their personalities. Even if his parents protected him, Li Miaomiao and his mother would not have an easy life, otherwise how could they have split up later?
In the photos he had seen before, Li Miaomiao was chubby, even when he had the accident, but now she was so thin, probably because she was hungry.
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you and your son go hungry again."
When Li Miaomiao heard this, she knew that Pei Guoan was imagining things on his own, but it didn't matter, as long as it was beneficial to her plan.
"What about food?"
"You don't have to go. I'll do it. Bringing so much grain back at once would be too conspicuous. It's unnecessary. I happen to be working in the county town. I can buy two bags of grain every day and bring them back. This way it's safer and more convenient."
Li Miaomiao thought she would have to persuade Pei Guoan for a while, but she didn't expect Pei Guoan to be so supportive. He didn't ask her any more questions and just did what she wanted. It's rare to find a man like her.
"Then do as you say. If we buy two bags every day, we can fill up the warehouse. Thinking of the warehouse full of food makes me happy."
Li Miaomiao thought that not only Pei Guoan would bring back food, she could also buy it from the system mall and mix some of the food that Pei Guoan brought back with her every day. This would also be inconspicuous and very safe.
"Okay, if you like it, then we'll fill the warehouse up."
Living in this era, although Pei Guoan does not think it is necessary to stockpile food, he also understands Li Miaomiao's mentality. People who have been hungry have a special obsession with food.
It's rare for his wife to have such an idea. It's just to store food in the cellar, so Pei Guoan can still be satisfied.
Pei Guoan kept his word. From that day on, he would always bring back two full bags of food when he came back at night.
Even Old Man and Old Lady Pei didn't know about this. The couple secretly transported and hid the grain.
However, the matter of hiding the grain could be hidden from other people, but not from the little one at home.
But Li Miaomiao was not worried. In some things, the little guy was more successful than her.
She was originally planning to warn the little one, but before she could open her mouth, the little one warned her first: "Mom, we just need to know that our family secretly hid the food. Don't tell anyone else, not even grandpa and grandma."
Li Miaomiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, a little surprised. She thought the relationship between the little guy and his grandparents had become better than before, but it turned out that the little guy was still on guard.
Li Miaomiao didn't hide her surprise. Seeing his mother like this, Pei Yifan said helplessly, "Mom, it's not that I want to be on guard against grandpa and grandma. They're good to us and love me the most. But even so, they're not just my grandparents. They have other children and grandchildren, and they'll also make plans for them."
Of course Li Miaomiao knew this, which is why she specifically told Pei Guoan not to tell anyone.
"Of course Mom knows. I was originally going to tell you not to tell anyone about the food storage at home. People's hearts are unpredictable, but now it seems that you are more cautious than Mom, which makes Mom very happy. Don't have the intention to harm others, but always be on guard against others. Only in this way can you keep yourself safer."
Pei Yifan's mouth curled up when his behavior was affirmed by his mother. He was happier than getting any reward.
When Li Miaomiao saw her son like this, her heart softened. She thought that she must have saved the earth in her previous life to have such a son.
She doesn't care about the book or the villain. She only knows one thing: if anyone bullies her son, she will fight him to the death.
Pei Guoan came in from outside and obviously heard what Pei Yifan had just said.
