Seeing that Li Qiao understood and accepted the money, Wang Feng looked at her deeply for the last time, turned around and left without saying anything.
Zili tugged at his mother's clothes with some worry. Li Qiao lowered her eyes, touched his head, and shook her head silently.
She had expected this to happen, but she just felt a little guilty about it.
Shu Miao stood quietly by, and seeing that both mother and son were in a heavy mood, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
After thinking about it, I just wanted to divert their attention elsewhere.
"Auntie, do we need to cook the husks with pig grass?"
How could Li Qiao not hear the hidden worry in her nonsense?
He nodded at her with a smile, then patted his son's shoulder.
"Why don't you go and help? Don't mix too much chaff, or it will be difficult to digest."
"Oh..." Zili agreed weakly, then followed Shu Miao to make preparations.
The two of them each watched over a pot, cooking porridge with mixed grains and pig feed at the same time.
As soon as the pig food was cooked, Shu Miao poured it into a basin that the aunt had gotten from somewhere, and fed the pigs the only hot meal they had had in the past two days.
While the pigs were eating, they covered their ears tightly, which was enough to block out the heart-wrenching cries of the other pigs.
Only then did he take the time to look at the three chickens. After careful observation, he felt relieved to see that they were in good spirits.
The moment her pigs finished eating, Shu Miao picked up the basin and ran. When she passed by the kitchen, the aroma of peanuts and rice rushed towards her.
Shu Miao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the camp, and saw rescue team members sitting on the ground in groups of three or four everywhere.
At this time, their bodies were covered with mud spots, but everyone had a lively smile on their face.
From time to time, the old soldiers could be heard teasing the new recruits. After listening to a few words, Shu Miao pretended to be calm and looked away under the gaze of the two comrades on guard.
As soon as she returned to the tent, Zili gave her an unexpected news.
"Mom was called away for a meeting, so let's eat first."
Seeing him frowning and absentmindedly stirring the porridge in the pot, Shu Miao patted his shoulder and comforted him,
"Okay, stop looking so sad. We didn't make any mistakes, so what are we afraid of?"
"Oh..." He was still not in a good mood, but he had to eat the meal quickly. He hadn't had a full meal all day and he was starving!
Shu Miao glanced at someone who was frowning and concentrating on eating, which made him feel both angry and amused.
You say he is not worried about the aunt, but he still frowns and looks unhappy.
He seemed worried, but he kept serving bowl after bowl of porridge, and his appetite seemed better than ever...
Fortunately, the news that the aunt brought back was good.
It is said that professionals were sent to conduct on-site surveys of the water conditions and that they would preserve this tributary as a flood control channel.
To prevent the river from rising again and destroying large farms downstream.
Yes, the rural areas downstream were also flooded, but because of the timely discharge of flood water from the Yanhe Brigade tributary, the impact was not significant.
Since this place is to be used as a flood discharge channel, it must occupy an area of arable land.
With less arable land, the output is naturally not enough to feed more than 300 people.
According to preliminary estimates, at least half of the population in the brigade will have to be relocated.
So we launched a willingness collection, allowing members to decide for themselves whether to leave or not.
Except for a few families who moved here ten years ago to escape famine, the rest of the people in the brigade have lived here for decades and are naturally reluctant to leave their hometown.
Li Qiao was different. She was the first to actively sign up for immigration and relocation.
With her leadership, other families who were dissatisfied with the team leader's nepotism also expressed their willingness to migrate and relocate.
The results came out soon, and only less than a quarter of the families were willing to relocate.
As for which families should be persuaded to relocate next, it will be handled by the team leader.
However, there was someone who was clear-headed and asked the most crucial question, which was where should the immigrants be relocated to?
As the names of the brigades were revealed, all of them were famous, large and wealthy brigades, and the scene instantly became boiling.
Those who originally did not want to leave came out and expressed their willingness to relocate.
As more and more people clamored to relocate, the captain's family looked increasingly unhappy.
If this person leaves, what can he do left alone?
But surprisingly, the official sent by the Revolutionary Committee had no intention of writing anything after informing my parents of the name of the brigade that was about to immigrate.
He just took the list of people who had volunteered to immigrate and left. The meaning was self-evident, and the captain was left to balance it himself.
The scene was filled with more than just some happy and some sad families. Those who were not registered were extremely regretful and rushed to ask the team leader to help them register. The scene was a complete chaos.
You have to know that the name of Fuyou Brigade is not for nothing.
Not only is it close to the commune, it has convenient transportation, a large area of land, and has schools and sales outlets.
There are also advanced facilities such as tractors and telephones, as well as income from agricultural and sideline products.
Correspondingly, you will naturally get more food every year and more dividends at the end of the year!
After all, who doesn’t want to live a good life?
If not for yourself, you have to consider your descendants!
As for what happened next, Li Qiao was no longer able to watch, because she was forcibly sent back to the tent by Wang Feng, who had calmed down.
In the end, after much tugging and pulling, Wang Feng still couldn't resist and was stuffed with a bag of peanuts.
Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Li Qiao to try not to conflict with others in the next few days and just wait for good news.
It was also at this time that the Shu family members learned that the Revolutionary Committee secretary was actually Wang Feng’s husband!
