Preparing for the Worst

"Sure! There aren't many bowls left, so I'm going to buy some. We might also need more wooden buckets. On the way to the grocery store later, we'll pass by the grain store!"

"Alright, I'll stay here and look after the ox-cart. Come back quickly after you're done," Aunt Wang said.

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyue then took the basket from the ox-cart and went to the market to buy vegetables.

There were five people in their family. She and Li Xiao had a big appetite, and so did her mother. As for the two children, they were still growing and could eat quite a lot.

She had to make sure they ate well.

Lin Xiaoyue bought the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch before returning to the ox cart.

Then, she rode the ox-cart in the direction of the grocery store.

On the way, she passed by a grain store and went with Aunt Wang to buy 30 catties of brown rice and 20 catties of coarse flour.
