Chapter 7508 Family Happiness
Tan suffered from heart disease and lay in bed feeling unhappy. Even the King of Heaven came and couldn't cheer her up.
So after a few hasty words, they were sent to the main room to drink tea.
Back in the main room, Jiang Guiling asked everyone about Tan's illness again. Ms. Liu patted her chest and said, "She's not sick. She's not sick. Don't worry about her. She'll be fine on her own after lying down for a few days." , this is what Fourth Aunt said, just look back!"
"Fourth Aunt, you are like a great prophet now," Yang Ruoqing joked.
Ms. Liu also laughed and said, "You see, my prediction will definitely come true."
At this moment, Bao Suyun made tea for everyone and brought it over.
Ms. Liu picked it up, and Yang Ruoqing thanked her before picking it up.
Jiang Guiling stood up and took it with both hands, "Mom, I want you to make tea for me. You should also sit down."
Bao Suyun nodded with a smile and sat down on the edge.
Mrs. Liu, Bao Suyun and the others told Jiang Guiling and Dabaona about the flooding at home, and Dabao and the others also told them about the situation in the county.
To put it bluntly, this area is flooded, but the county is a county after all, the economic and political hub of a region. Except for the area near the moat on the outskirts of the county, there are basically no other places, especially the main urban area. be affected.
"It's better to be in the city. Don't worry about it. It's not like in our village, where everything is submerged."
Ms. Liu sighed while drinking tea.
Yang Ruoqing said: "A natural disaster, there is nothing we can do about it."
During this period, Jiang Guiling brought out the pastries she brought back to entertain everyone, and also used magic tricks to bring out a bunch of small toys, trying to coax her daughter over.
Children are children, and they were so resistant to getting close to Jiang Guiling before. Now that they are eating, drinking, and playing, they immediately feel more courageous.
She walked crookedly to Jiang Guiling. Jiang Guiling gently held her daughter in her arms and taught her how to play with various toys. While her daughter was playing with the toys, she broke off small pieces of pastries. Feed it into that little mouth.
"Is it fun?" she asked softly.
The little girl nodded.
"Call me mother, and mother will change into something more interesting for you, okay?"
"Mother." The pronunciation of the soft and waxy voice was not very accurate.
But it made Jiang Guiling cry with joy.
Other people nearby also gradually stopped talking and looked at this scene with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing subconsciously touched her belly and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like when the two little guys were born.
Ms. Liu was even more proud and said loudly: "How's it going? Did I say it right? You'll get to know Guiling in a while."
Everyone laughed, and Jiang Guiling even held her daughter on her lap and sat on her lap. Hold on, reluctant to let go for a moment.
"By the way, Guiling, how long do you plan to stay when you come back?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Jiang Guiling thought for a while and said: "The location of our shop is a bit awkward. Although it is not on the edge of the moat, it is not far from there. Since the water level rose and the situation became tense, the business in the shop has been very light. ”
“Originally I planned to just do this Next, you can count on whatever you can earn, but I don’t know what’s going on lately. The price of rice and grain has been rising all the time. After deducting the rice grain from the money we earn every day, we still have a loss. Dabao and I added it up. It’s better to take this opportunity to close the shop and go home to hide.”
"The house is also flooded, and dad is not at home. We come back to spend time with the old and the young. At least everyone can feel at ease."
"Secondly, we can wait until the floods pass, and the price of rice and grain in the county Refund the original normal price. Otherwise, it will be a big loss and we won’t be able to afford the meal!”
“Ah, the price has increased so much? We are just sitting at home and haven’t really asked about that. "Ms. Liu sighed.
Bao Suyun also looked at his son and wife with a distressed expression. Compared with them who dared not eat enough in the county town, at least they didn't lack anything at home.
"In that case, you should have come back long ago." Bao Suyun said.
"When the flood subsides, you can bring some rice back to the county seat," she added. Jiang Guiling smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Don't be in a hurry. We just got home."
Everyone went on to chat about home affairs.
Yang Ruoqing sat there slowly drinking tea, still thinking about the news Jiang Guiling brought back.
Actually, she pays attention to these news every day. Even if it is flooded, she will have her subordinates send back messages every day about the situation in the county.
She had long expected the increase in rice prices, because every natural disaster is a test of human nature.
Some people sacrifice themselves for others and have great righteousness.
Some people are opportunistic and add insult to injury.
Some people protect themselves in times of danger and are indifferent and selfish...
They come in all shapes and sizes.
That's why she actively transported food from other places and hoarded food before it was flooded.
Just to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous businessmen when rice prices rise.
"Sister Qing'er, I heard from my fourth aunt and my mother-in-law that you and your brother-in-law built several porridge shacks to provide porridge to nearby villagers affected by the disaster. But rice is so expensive now, you..."< br>
Jiang Guiling's voice reached Yang Ruoqing's ears again, and she and Dabao were also looking here worriedly.
“Oh, if it wasn’t Guiling who asked, I wouldn’t have thought of it.”
Mrs. Liu suddenly shouted and turned to look nervously at Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, our three porridge stalls are open for two meals a day. The porridge is also thick and the steamed buns are big."
"Even if we leave it there normally It’s a big expense, and now the rice and grain are being raised maliciously, can we resist it?”
Everyone is worried about this problem.
Yang Ruoqing smiled calmly, "Fortunately, I stocked up on some food before, otherwise, I might not be able to withstand it."
"Ah? Stocking up on food? That's good, that's good!" Ms. Liu said, clapping her hands.
And Jiang Guiling said: "Even if we stock up on food, it's impossible to have a steady supply. We'll definitely have to eat one meal less."
"Sister Qing'er, what about the porridge shed? How long will the porridge be served?”
Ms. Liu also asked: "Yeah, we can't continue to provide for everyone, right? Even if we have gold and silver, we can't afford it!"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, and then said: "I can still support it for a while now. Yes, the situation is changing, let’s not talk about what happens next.”
Jiang Guiling thought for a while and said, "Yes, when the water level recedes, the roads are clear, and food from outside can come in, then the price of food here will definitely drop."
Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm'.
As for the time limit for giving porridge, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had already discussed it.
When the water level recedes and the villagers move back to the village one after another, they will start sowing crops for the second season in full swing.
During this period, we will ensure that the villagers do not starve to death and that they can survive until the second season of rice is put into the warehouse. This task will be considered successfully completed.
Right now, we are supporting everyone in the form of porridge shacks. When the water level recedes, we will probably change to another mode.
But Yang Ruoqing will not reveal a word of these arrangements to others before they are put into action.
