Ruanruan didn't answer him. She took out a bank card from her bag and pulled Uncle Ruan to find the entrance to the supermarket.
Uncle Ruan glanced at the dazzling array of items on the supermarket shelves and asked, "Why are you here?"
The little one won’t want to eat snacks on his own, so he’ll think of going to other people’s homes and buying some snacks for them.
"Auntie, I want fifty bags of rice."
Ruanruan found the place where rice was sold before, but this time there was a different saleswoman, who opened her hands and said.
"Little boy, can you finish all this rice? A bag of rice in our supermarket weighs 100 kilograms."
The saleswoman was a little surprised when she saw Ruanruan. It was rare for people to buy so much rice at one time in the supermarket, especially such a young child.
However, she heard from her colleagues that a child bought twenty bags last week, but she didn't know if it was the same child.
"Why did you buy so much rice? Your little brother doesn't look like someone who needs rice. Besides, who would give so much rice away at once? It would take forever to eat it all."
When Uncle Ruan heard her mention fifty bags of rice, he was startled and hurried over to hold her.
"Brother Xiaogan said he wanted to give some to the people affected by the disaster. He said the snowstorm was severe where he was, and many people froze to death or starved to death."
Ruanruan took a deep breath and began to explain like a little old man.
"Oh, so when did our country have such a severe snowstorm? Why didn't I hear any news reports about this?" Uncle Ruan asked a little confused.
Ruanruan immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking, staring at Uncle Ruan with her big black grape eyes. She almost exposed the matter of her younger brother.
However, Uncle Ruan thought that Xiaogan was very generous and didn't seem like someone from a small town. Maybe Xiaogan was talking about his hometown that was suffering from a disaster.
"However, how can this be considered a meeting gift? How about this, I'll take you around the mall later to buy you a meeting gift."
Xiaogan gave Ruanruan such a valuable jade pendant, so their return gift naturally couldn't be too shabby.
"As for this rice, consider it as a donation from uncle and nephew to the disaster area. Fifty bags is too little. How about this, I want two thousand bags of rice. Helping others is a good thing, and my uncle must contribute."
Uncle Ruan thought that fifty bags of rice, one bag for each person, would only be enough for fifty people, which was really too little.
Two thousand bags of rice, a total of 200,000 kilograms, are enough to help a small village.
"Oh yeah! Long live my uncle! He's truly the best man in the world."
"Uncle is awesome!"
Ruanruan jumped up and hugged Uncle Ruan's thighs, "Ruanruan likes Uncle the most. Uncle, you must be a kind-hearted handsome guy!"
Uncle Ruan leaned over and touched the soft little head, feeling very happy. "Okay, okay, stop praising me."
"Trojan! Ruanruan thanks Uncle for those affected by the disaster." Ruanruan kissed Uncle Ruan on the cheek.
Uncle Ruan suddenly felt that his money was not wasted at all.
He stood up, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a black card and handed it to the salesperson.
Uncle Ruan thought for a moment and said, "That would require two thousand bags of rice and one thousand bags of flour."
"Okay, sir. Rice is three dollars and a half a pound, and a bag of flour is fifty pounds at eighty yuan a bag. That's a total of seven hundred and eighty thousand."
The salesperson took Uncle Ruan's black card and counted it carefully.
"But, I'm sorry, sir, our supermarket doesn't have that much stock, so I have to tell you in advance."
"We need to go to the manufacturer to transfer the goods, so you have to wait for a while."
"About three hours."
"Okay." Uncle Ruan was in a good mood and spoke.
The salesperson said, "Okay, then please give us an address and we will deliver it to you later."
"Ruanruan, did your little brother tell you where to send it? Or you can ask him to give me his phone number and I will contact him."
"No need, uncle, ask them to send the things to Ruanruan's house. Brother Xiaogan said he would ask someone to come and pick them up in the afternoon."
Ruanruan touched her nose and felt ashamed for lying to her uncle again, but there was nothing she could do because she had already promised her uncle.
When Uncle Ruan heard this, it meant that Xiaogan's family had specially sent a car to transport the supplies, and would pick up the donated items from their family in the afternoon and go to the disaster area together.
"Oh, oh, okay then." Uncle Ruan didn't ask any more questions. He swiped the card, wrote down Ruanruan's home address, and took Ruanruan shopping.
——
In the study of the prefectural government.
The King of Jin sat astride a carved wooden chair and glanced down at the kneeling County Magistrate.
"I heard that you were transferred to Youzhou two years ago?"
The county magistrate paused and felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing. The King of Jin was no mediocre person. Since he could find so much evidence against the prefect in a short time, he must have known about Youzhou in advance, including the powerful officials in Youzhou.
"Your Highness, I arrived in Youzhou in September of the previous year. At that time, I noticed the heavy taxes in Youzhou. However, the governor said that Youzhou needed to build dams and improve the lives of the soldiers stationed there."
"Who would have thought that the same situation would persist as last year? I repeatedly asked you to retract your orders, but you didn't respond. This year's snowstorm was particularly severe. I couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so I had no choice but to consolidate my finances and travel extensively to gather evidence."
His memorials to the court were not taken seriously, and he was even targeted by the prefect, and almost all of his salary was withheld.
The county magistrate's lips were dry and cracked, his voice was hoarse and weak, and his eyes reddened as he spoke, "If I hadn't met Your Highness, I would have gone to the capital to file a complaint even if I died."
"Cough, cough, cough!" The county magistrate covered his mouth with his hands covered with frostbite and started coughing violently.
Prince Jin: "I understand. I will report the County Magistrate's righteous act to the emperor, but I want him to write a letter of complaint himself."
