Majia Brigade

A few days later, Lin Dacui received another telegram from her son. After her eldest son read the content, she sat there in silence.

"Mom, what does the fourth son mean? He just asked us to store more food, but he didn't say why." Niu Lili sat aside, watching her mother-in-law for a long time without saying a word, and couldn't help but

"How would I know why? If you believe what the fourth brother said, just buy more and save it. If you don't believe it, forget it. Why are you asking me?" Lin Dacui was originally thinking about something, but when her eldest daughter-in-law interrupted her, she forgot everything and said with an unhappy look on her face.

"Ah? It won't be long before we can harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes. Wouldn't it be uneconomical to buy food now?" Niu Lili pouted.

"Go away, go away. Every time Old Four sends a telegram, you follow me. Just looking at you makes me upset." After Lin Dacui chased the man away, she walked forward to close the door and whispered to the old man who had been silent since hearing the telegram:

"Old man, what do you think about this? The fourth brother asked us to store more food. How much is too much?"

"Go buy it tomorrow and buy as much as you can." Old Man Gu made the final decision.

"Okay." Lin Dacui always pretended that she had the final say.

But the old man has the final say on any major matters at home. Besides, they have all been through hard times and are most afraid of disasters. It would be okay to store more food at home. Only when there is food stored at home can one not worry.

"Boss, what do you think the fourth brother meant when he asked us to store more food? Is it going to cause any trouble?" Niu Lili returned to the house and asked Gu Mingtao, who was silent.

"Tomorrow you take out half of the money in the family, and I'll go to the town to see if I can buy some food." Gu Mingtao knew that his fourth child had always been the most reliable.

Now that he can send this kind of telegram back, something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't do this.

"Okay, but it's a pity. We can harvest potatoes in a few days. Buying food now will waste a lot of money." Niu Lili said with a distressed look on her face.

"What can we do? If we don't buy it now, and something happens, the adults can handle it, but what about the two children?" Gu Mingtao felt distressed, but he had to buy it no matter how distressed he was. If the children really starved because of his distress, wouldn't that be...

"Boss, go talk to the second and third sons about this. It's up to them whether to buy it or not, but if they don't, don't come to our house to borrow it when the time comes." Niu Lili pushed the man and instructed

"Got it. Go to sleep first. I'll be back soon." Gu Mingtao waved his hand and walked to the middle of the yard and shouted, "Second brother, third brother, both of you come out. I want to tell you something."

"Hey, I'll be right there." Gu Minghai was soaking his feet. Hearing the noise, he hurriedly took a rag and wiped them roughly, then walked out while picking up his shoes.

"Brother, what do you want us to do?" Gu Minghe also came out with his shoes lifted up and looked at the boss and asked

"Here's what happened. The fourth brother sent a telegram today saying..." Gu Mingtao explained the whole story and finally said, "You guys can handle this matter on your own. But if you don't buy it, and something really happens, don't blame me, your eldest brother, for being ruthless."

"Brother, I know. I will go to the town with you tomorrow." Gu Minghai also knew that the fourth brother was the most reliable person in the family, so he nodded directly.

"Brother, I'll go back and discuss this with Xiaocao. We'll talk about this tomorrow." Gu Minghe felt that this was unreliable. Besides, his family had no money left and couldn't afford to buy food, so he laughed and said

"It's up to you. I've said what I want to say. It's up to you whether you buy it or not." After saying that, Gu Mingtao turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Gu Minghai looked at the third brother deeply, then shook his head in disappointment, turned around and went back to the house without saying a word.

Gu Minghe was annoyed by the look on his face by the second brother. He stamped his feet angrily, went back to his room and went to sleep, not saying a word no matter how Liu Xiaocao yelled at him.
