Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7493
Mrs. Tan was suffering from a heart attack and was lying on the bed disconsolately. Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, she couldn't cheer her up.

So after saying a few words hastily, he sent the young couple to the main room for tea.

Back in the main room, Jiang Guiling asked everyone about Mrs. Tan's illness again. Mrs. Liu patted her chest and said, "I'm not sick, I don't care about her. She will be fine after lying down for a few days. This is my fourth aunt." That’s right, just look back and see!”

"Aunt Si, you look like a big prophet now." Yang Ruoqing joked with a smile.

Mrs. Liu also chuckled, "Look, my prophecy will definitely come true."

At this moment, Bao Suyun made tea for everyone and brought them over.

Mrs. Liu picked it up, and Yang Ruoqing thanked her before picking it up.

Jiang Guiling stood up and took it with both hands, "Mother, I want you to make tea for me, so you sit down too."

Bao Suyun nodded with a smile and sat down beside her.

Liu and Bao Suyun told Jiang Guiling and Dabao about the flooding at home, and Dabao also told them about the situation in the county.

To put it bluntly, this area is flooded, but the county seat is a county seat after all, the economic and political hub of a region, except for the area around the moat on the outskirts of the county seat, other places, especially the main urban area, have basically not been affected.

"It's better to be in the city, don't worry, it's not like our village, everything is submerged."

Mrs. Liu sighed while drinking tea.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Natural disasters, there is nothing we can do about it."

During the period, Jiang Guiling entertained everyone with the cakes she had brought back, and also took out a bunch of small toys like a magic trick, trying to coax her daughter over.

A child is a child, and he was so resistant to getting close to Jiang Guiling before, but now that he sees him eating, drinking, and playing, he immediately let go of his courage a lot.

She walked crookedly to Jiang Guiling, Jiang Guiling gently hugged her daughter in her arms, and taught her to play with all kinds of toys one after another. While her daughter was playing with the toys, she even broke small pieces of pastries and fed them to the little mouth inside.

"Is it fun?" she asked softly.

The little girl nodded.

"You call me mother, and mother will make you a more fun one, okay?"

"Mother." The voice was soft and waxy, and the pronunciation was not very accurate.

But it made Jiang Guiling weep with joy.

The other people beside him also gradually stopped talking, and they all watched this scene with smiles.

Yang Ruoqing touched her belly subconsciously, and couldn't help but imagine what the two little guys would be like when they were born.

Liu was even more proud, and said loudly: "How is it? Am I right? I got to know Gui Ling soon."

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Guiling even sat with her daughter on her lap, reluctant to let go for a moment.

"By the way, Gui Ling, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Liu asked again.

Jiang Guiling thought for a while and said, "The location of our shop is a bit embarrassing. Although it's not on the edge of the moat, it's 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 stick to each other like this, and I can count as one if I earn one, but I don't know what's going on recently. The price of rice and grain has been rising. The money we earn every day is deducted from the rice grain, and we still have to lose money. Together with Dabao, I might as well take this opportunity to close the shop and go home to hide."

"The house is also flooded, and my father is not at home. We come back to accompany the old and the young at home. Anyway, everyone can feel at ease."

"Secondly, we can wait for the flood to pass, and the price of rice and grain in the county will return to the original normal price. Otherwise, it will be too bad, and we can't afford to eat!"

"Ah, the rise is so fierce? We're stuck at home, and we really haven't inquired about that one." Liu sighed.

Bao Suyun also looked at his son and daughter-in-law with distressed faces. Compared to them not daring to eat enough in the county town, the family at least has everything they need.

"Since that's the case, you should have come back long ago." Bao Suyun said.

"When the flood subsides, you can bring some rice back to the county," she said again.

Jiang Guiling smiled, "I'll see when the time comes, don't worry, I just got home."

Everyone went on to gossip and gossip.

Yang Ruoqing sat there drinking tea slowly, still thinking about the news Jiang Guiling brought back.

In fact, she pays close attention to these news every day. Even if it is flooded, she will have her subordinates send back news every day about the situation in the county.

The increase in the price of rice grains was something she had expected a long time ago, because every natural disaster is a test of human nature.

Some people sacrifice their lives for others with righteousness in mind.

Some people are opportunistic and make trouble.

Some people protect themselves in times of danger, indifferent and selfish...

All kinds of people are familiar with each other.

That's why she actively transferred food from other places and hoarded it before it was flooded.

It is to be manipulated by those unscrupulous businessmen when the price of rice rises.

"Sister Qing'er, I heard from my fourth aunt and my mother-in-law that you and your brother-in-law have set up several porridge sheds to give porridge to the villagers who were hit by the disaster. But now that rice is so expensive, you..."

Jiang Guiling's voice reached Yang Ruoqing's ears again, and she and Dabao were also looking at this side worriedly.

"Oh, I didn't ask Gui Ling, I didn't think of it."

Liu shi suddenly yelled, and turned to look at Yang Ruoqing nervously.

"Qing'er, our three porridge stalls are open twice a day, the porridge is also sticky, and the steamed buns are all big."

"Even if it's a big expense in normal times, now that the rice grains are being maliciously pushed up, can we resist it?"

Everyone is very worried about this problem.

Yang Ruoqing smiled calmly, "Fortunately, I stocked up some food before, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm really overwhelmed."

"Ah? Stock up on food? That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Liu clapped her hands and said.

And Jiang Guiling said: "Even if there is food in the store, it is impossible to have a continuous supply, and it must be less for each meal."

"Sister Qing'er, when will the porridge in this porridge shed last?"

Mrs. Liu also asked: "That's right, we can't offer endlessly to everyone, can we? We can't afford to pay for gold and silver!"

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, and then said: "Right now, I can hold on for a while, the situation is changing, so let's not talk about the future."

Jiang Guiling thought about it for a while, and said, "Yes, when the water level recedes, the roads are clear, and the food from outside can come in, then the price of our food will definitely drop."

Yang Ruoqing 'um'.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had already discussed the time limit for giving porridge.

When the water level recedes and the villagers move back to the village one after another, they will start planting the second crop in full swing.

During this period, to ensure that the villagers do not starve to death, and to ensure that they can survive until the second season of rice enters the warehouse, this task is considered to be successfully completed.

Right now, it is in the form of a porridge shed to support everyone. When the water level recedes, it should be changed to another model.

But these arrangements, Yang Ruoqing will not reveal a word to others until they are put into action.
