Don't think I'm stupid just because I'm young and don't know anything!
But he really couldn't say that; he couldn't afford to offend his second sister.
Also, what if he angers his second sister and she stops telling him about the basement?
So he looked at his second sister with shining eyes, "Second sister, is there something good in the basement?"
What good stuff do you want?
Liu Shile originally wanted to tell him that he was overthinking it, but after thinking about it, she asked curiously instead.
Liu Shiping scratched his head. "Ah, well, the best thing right now is definitely grain."
As for the rest, Liu Shiping hadn't taken it to heart yet.
Oh, no, there's also money. Money is a good thing too.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his second sister secretly and said with a forced smile, "It would be even better if we had more money."
Liu Shile almost burst out laughing at him, really.
However, this little guy is also quite clever.
When I asked him, the first thing he thought of was food.
Food is important in any era, whether it is in the end times or in this era.
Only in the era when her grandfather lived would such things not be lacking.
Liu Shile didn't speak. Liu Shiping's heart was pounding. His second sister hadn't said a word. Was she thinking about how to punish him?
After thinking it over, he finally suppressed his greed and whispered, "As long as there's some food, that'll be fine."
Seeing this once domineering and arrogant young man, Liu Shile sighed inwardly.
She beckoned to him and said, "Come with me."
Liu Shiping didn't dare to hesitate, knowing that her second sister wanted to take her to the basement.
At this moment, he felt excited, nervous, and, most of all, expectant.
He was somewhat hoping that the basement might contain what he wanted.
But why did my second sister lead him to her room?
Could it be that the entrance to the basement is inside his house?
He saw his second sister press something, and then he heard a soft sound.
Then he saw the steps leading down.
...
Is the basement really below my room?
Liu Shiping's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be?
I've lived in this house for over ten years and never discovered this basement!
"Let's go, are you stupid?" Liu Shile looked at his mouth, which was wide open enough to fit a large egg, and found it somewhat amusing.
This kid is still just a child.
However, she could understand the child's shock.
They just dug this basement today, so the entrance should naturally be in his room.
As for the little mechanism, Liu Shile said it wasn't difficult for her.
"Ah, oh, let's go then." Liu Shiping came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Shile glanced at him, then didn't say anything more. Instead, she took a flashlight from somewhere and handed it to him.
The basement was dark, and she hadn't installed any lighting.
She didn't think much of it, but Liu Shiping's eyes widened. This...this is a flashlight?!
Second sister, where did she get so many good things?
"Look, this is all there is in this basement."
Liu Shile ignored whether the child was surprised or not and pointed to the jars containing grain.
The basement isn't very big, only about 30 square meters.
Inside, there are rows and rows of jars.
The jars were filled with grain, all of which were packed by Liu Shile.
"Second, second sister, this, this jar is full of grain!"
Ah, there's also meat and vegetables, and eggs and oil!
Liu Shiping was utterly stunned. His own house had a basement, and the basement was filled with grain!
While saying it was "full of grain" might be a bit of an exaggeration, Liu Shiping thought it was not an exaggeration at all!
"Yes, I saw it a while ago. After I found it, I even cleaned it up."
Otherwise, you'd be covered in dust right now.
Liu Shile lied without batting an eye, and Liu Shiping nodded repeatedly as he listened. He had been wondering to himself why the place was so clean.
Hearing that it was his second sister who tidied up, he finally understood that it was his second sister who had cleaned up.
That makes sense. My second sister and the others didn't go out all day; they must have been busy with these things.
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Sister. What should we do with all these things?"
His tone was somewhat reluctant; he was quite afraid that his second sister would say she wanted to throw these things away, after all…
Liu Shile looked at him with amusement. Did he not know his own personality?
"You can decide for yourself, but Shiping, I hope you remember the principle of not flaunting your wealth."
I'm leaving in a few days. If you reveal anything, you might attract the covetous eyes of others.
By then, losing things will be the least of your worries, you understand?
No matter how mature he is, he's still just a child.
If I don't explain it to him clearly, what if...
She didn't want her family to go hungry, not to kill them.
Liu Shiping's smile froze when he heard these words.
After enduring so much hardship for so long, he was still thinking...
Now, after listening to my second sister's advice, I think it's better to keep a low profile.
Damn it, Li Tiedan is keeping a close eye on me. If he finds out anything, my family will be in big trouble.
No, this matter must not be known to any outsiders, not even Dad!
But, but if we do that, does it mean we don't care whether Dad lives or dies?
His expression showed some struggle and hesitation. He glanced at his second sister and whispered, "Then, second sister, what about Dad?"
Well, at least this kid has some conscience; he's not so selfish as to only care about his own life or death.
"We can't just ignore this. You'll have to come up with your own excuse."
Liu Shile didn't believe that this kid couldn't come up with a solution.
Trying to be lazy? It's not that easy.
"Alright, take inventory of the things here, I'll wait for you upstairs."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and left gracefully, leaving Liu Shiping standing there in a daze.
Liu Shiping only came to his senses when he could no longer see Liu Shile.
Then his eyes lit up as he looked at everything in the basement.
Snow-white rice and wheat flour, some corn grits, some cured meat, dried meat, and oil!
He has a very good memory and immediately began taking stock.
After he calculated how much grain there was, he laughed like a fool.
He had no choice; he had suffered a lot during this time and really didn't want to go hungry anymore.
Now that we have so much food in our hands, what are we afraid of?
hehe!
Liu Shile was getting a little impatient waiting for him. "Come up when you're done with the inventory."
This kid is so impulsive, he's getting all excited over such a small thing?
She rolled her eyes and, instead of getting away with it, sent a telepathic message.
Upon hearing her second sister's voice, Liu Shiping was startled before snapping back to reality from her reverie.
Then he remembered that his second sister was still waiting for him outside.
So he ran out excitedly, "Second Sister, you didn't leave?"
Liu Shile rolled her eyes at him. "Do you even know how to get into the basement?"
"Uh, no, I don't know..."
Liu Shiping's expression froze. How could he have forgotten the most important thing?
