Lin Rui still smiled warmly: "Auntie, you don't have to be so angry. This is just an idea of mine. Whether it succeeds or not is up to everyone to decide. Since you don't like it, then forget it."
There's no need to worry about so many things. It's so annoying. Good words can't persuade that damn ghost. It would have been better if we listened to him and built a rain shelter together. He had to do that kind of thing. Otherwise, there would be no need for us to exchange wet rice with her. It's like someone wants to take advantage of this.
Seeing that the situation had reached an impasse, Lin Pingmao wanted to persuade Zhang Dacui and Lin Changfa, but Yu Lanhua, contrary to her usual behavior, nodded repeatedly in response: "Rui Ge'er, I'll change, I'll change, I'll change!"
"Hey! Yu Lanhua, you!" Zhang Dacui never expected that Yu Lanhua would stab her in the back. She was wholeheartedly trying to negotiate some benefits for the two of them.
Yu Lanhua felt so distressed when she thought about her own 70 kilograms of grain being damp that she had difficulty breathing. If she followed Lin Rui's calculations and exchanged their 40 kilograms of dry rice for her and Zhang Dacui's 80 kilograms of wet rice, then for the sake of fairness, they would definitely exchange 40 kilograms each.
After Zhang Dacui exchanged 40 kilograms of wet rice, she had only a dozen kilograms left at most, but her family still had more than 30 kilograms of wet rice with no one to share it with. This time, she had to seize this opportunity no matter what.
Seeing Yu Lanhua kneel down so quickly, Zhang Dacui stopped making trouble and immediately asked to change her position.
As the first to try it, Yu Lanhua exchanged her wet rice for 30 kilograms of dry rice, and covered it with layer upon layer of baked and dried rice bags for fear that it would get wet again.
In the end, Zhang Dacui had to exchange 40 kilograms of wet rice for 20 kilograms of dry rice. She had the remaining 30 kilograms of dry rice, which she would rather eat herself than give to others for the same price.
Lin Changhe didn't say anything when he saw this. Perhaps he also felt that he was at a disadvantage in such an exchange.
"Mom, what about the thirty kilograms of rice? We can't eat it all in a few days. How about we ask the village head to exchange it for fifteen kilograms of dry rice? At least it can be stored for a longer time. It's life-saving food in a critical moment!"
"Thirty kilograms for fifteen kilograms, I absolutely won't do this losing business!"
"mother!"
Lin Changhe shouted angrily at Lin Zicheng: "Get to work!"
Lin Zicheng stomped his feet in anger, but he couldn't resist his father.
Under the same roof, the atmosphere is a little subtle.
Feng Zhenniang cooked all the wet rice she had exchanged for. If she couldn't finish it, she would bake the rice crusts, dry them layer by layer, and wrap them in oil paper to prevent them from getting damp.
She had been hoping for luck, thinking that if the temperature stayed low, the family would be able to finish the meal in five or six days, especially if they ate as much as they could without much fuss.
But Rui'er said that the weather was very abnormal and that the wet rice should be processed as soon as possible to prevent it from getting moldy.
Lin Pingmao valued Lin Rui more and more. It was a good thing that he listened to Lin Rui's advice about the awning before, otherwise he would be the one going out in the rain to clean up the awning.
The rain shelter built by Lin Rui and his team was designed according to the number of people. Suddenly, so many people squeezed in that they had to sleep sideways. Especially people like Lin Changfa, Lin Changhe and their two sons, they couldn't even sleep at all, so they had to try to restore their original rain shelter again.
Fortunately, the wind stopped at noon and the heavy rain turned into drizzle, so it was not so difficult for Lin Changfa and his team to pack up the awning.
After a lot of work, the simple rain shelters of Lin Changfa and Lin Changhe were rebuilt, but the food was reluctant to move out of the large rain shelter of Lin Rui and others. After all, no other rain shelter had better waterproof performance than Lin Rui's.
If the food gets damp again this time, they will lose all hope of survival and might as well just die.
