When everyone saw Lin Tian donated sweet potatoes to the Jia family, they all followed suit. Even Xu Damao, who had originally planned not to donate a penny, took out 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
"Anything else?"
Yi Zhonghai suppressed his discomfort and asked everyone in the yard with a smile.
"No more. Everyone has donated. So, uncle, you can count them here and everyone can go home and get them. We can get this done right away." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"good!"
Yi Zhonghai said with gritted teeth.
Now Yi Zhonghai almost hated Lin Tian to death. If Lin Tian hadn't taken the lead in donating a large amount of sweet potatoes, no one else in the courtyard would have donated sweet potatoes.
If you say this matter was successful, it can be considered a successful grain donation, after all, there were several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes. If you say it was not successful, Yi Zhonghai's idea was to donate some good things so that the Jia family could have something good to eat.
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, everyone went home to get sweet potatoes.
Lin Tian walked up to Liu Haizhong and said, "Second Uncle, let's go!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Lin Tian with some confusion. Why did he go to Liu Haizhong instead of going home to get the sweet potatoes?
Liu Haizhong now wanted to slap himself a few times. Why did he go to Lin Tian for such a trivial matter? Now he has lost both the wife and the army.
"Xiao Lin, um...Second uncle can't get together 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes." Liu Haizhong said very embarrassedly. If he could afford to offend Lin Tian, Liu Haizhong would be reluctant to admit it.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong in shock. No wonder Lin Tian was so generous. It turned out that the donation came from Liu Haizhong's family. And Liu Haizhong was persuading people in this way? He just took out the things himself. Who would disagree?
"It's okay, it's okay, Second Uncle. I've thought about it for you. Tell me, which family among us doesn't have sweet potatoes now? So you can just exchange one pound of cornmeal for three pounds, right? I've taken care of this matter very well." Lin Tian smiled and looked at Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong: “…”
Seeing that Liu Haizhong was so angry that he spoke out, Lin Tian continued, "Let's go, Uncle Er, don't waste time. If you dawdle any longer, it will be time for dinner."
After saying that, Lin Tian pulled Liu Haizhong and walked home.
Yan Fugui's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly chased after him.
"Old Liu, how many kilograms of sweet potatoes do you have at home?" Yan Fugui asked.
Liu Haizhong was feeling sad, and said with a gesture: "It should be more than 100 kilograms."
Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Old Liu, if you want to exchange cornmeal, you have to trade with me. We can't let others get away with it."
Liu Haizhong was so angry at Yan Fugui's words that he pointed at Yan Fugui and said, "Get lost!"
Yan Fugui was not angry. If he got angry at this time, he would lose all good things. Although the official price was 1:3 for sweet potatoes and 3 for cornmeal, the actual exchange rate in private was about 1:5.
If this could be exchanged for ten or twenty kilograms, it would be enough to feed one person in his family for a month. It would be a miracle if Yan Fugui could give up such incredible wealth.
"Uncle, where are your sweet potatoes? Are they in the cellar?"
Lin Tian ignored Yan Fugui who was trying to take advantage from behind, and said to Liu Haizhong.
"In the cellar." Liu Haizhong pointed to the cellar helplessly.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Tian said as he took Liu Haizhong and the other two towards the cellar entrance.
"Here I come, here I come to help."
Xu Damao was anxious to see Liu Haizhong's joke, so he hurried home, packed 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes and ran over on his back, fearing that he would be too late.
"Okay then. I'll leave it to you. Help the second uncle get all the sweet potatoes from his house." Lin Tian said to Xu Damao. If you want to watch the fun, then do the work first.
Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong's sad face and was just wishing he could piss Liu Haizhong off. When he heard Lin Tian's arrangement, Xu Damao happily agreed.
"Okay, just leave this job to me. It's my duty to help the second uncle." Xu Damao said as he opened the cellar door and went down.
Xu Damao was very enthusiastic about this matter. Before Liu Haizhong could react, Xu Damao had already handed out a bag from the cellar entrance.
While holding up the bag of sweet potatoes, he asked, "Second Uncle, can you see if this is yours?"
"Hey, Uncle Er, come and take a look." Lin Tian pushed Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong nodded with difficulty.
"Yes, bring it up." Lin Tianchong shouted into the cellar.
In less than five minutes, Xu Damao moved out all the sweet potatoes stored in the cellar of Liu Haizhong's family.
"How many pounds does this weigh?" Xu Damao said, looking at the two sweet potato bags in front of him.
"This big bag weighs almost 70 kilograms." Yan Fugui stepped forward very actively and picked up the two bags.
Lin Tian nodded and said, "That's about it. We are donating things anyway. Two bags weigh 140 kilograms, and we still need 60 kilograms."
"Right, Second Uncle?" Lin Tian looked at Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong said helplessly: "Yes, there may be some at home."
"Let's go and get it from their home." Xu Damao was a man who liked to watch the fun. As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Xu Damao strode towards Liu Haizhong's house.
"Let's go." Lin Tian muttered and followed.
Finally, more than 20 kilograms were found from Liu Haizhong's home, and there was still a shortfall of 40 kilograms.
"Second uncle, this is not enough." Lin Tian looked at Liu Haizhong.
"It's okay, it's okay. I have some at home. We just have a lot of sweet potatoes." Yan Fugui's family now has sweet potatoes for three meals a day: sweet potato porridge in the morning, steamed sweet potatoes at noon, and roasted sweet potatoes in the evening.
"Okay, there's still a shortage of 40 kilograms, and the third uncle can make up for it. Then I can ask the second uncle to give you 13 kilograms of cornmeal. Do you want to do it?" Seeing that Liu Haizhong was a little depressed and didn't say anything, Lin Tian made the decision for Liu Haizhong.
"Okay, okay." Yan Fugui was probably afraid that Liu Haizhong would go back on his word, so he ran as soon as he got Lin Tian's approval. Just these few steps made Yan Fugui feel like he was running into a world competition.
"Come on, let's help Second Uncle move the sweet potatoes to the middle yard. By the way, don't forget to help Second Uncle get the bag back." Lin Tian said as he picked up a bag.
Xu Damao also picked up one.
Liu Haizhong felt a pain in his heart as he watched the two big bags of sweet potatoes moving away from him, but who made him promise Lin Tian?
"Why!"
In the end, Liu Haizhong could only silently take the twenty kilograms that the two men did not take away.
“Wow!”
Everyone was shocked to see Lin Tian and Xu Damao pour nearly 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes from the bag onto the ground. They didn't expect that the Jia family would get a big advantage this time.
"When do we have to eat this?"
It's just a kind of envy, with occasional discordant voices.
Lin Tian didn't think so. After all, this could be considered a happy trouble. The Jia family had probably never lived a day without worrying about food. Now they have that worry, all thanks to himself.
