Speaking of this year's drought, Mr. Qin was also quite worried, not because of himself. At the machinery factory, the leaders still valued him very much. Even though some other employees had begun to limit water use, they had never restricted him.
"I don't know what the situation is like in the village."
When Mr. Qin talked about the village, he was more worried about his old friends. Their life in the N sheds in the village was no better than his life in the machinery factory, and it was already very hard.
"Teacher Qin, don't worry. I'll go back in a while to bring some supplies back to the teachers. Also, the current village leader is Accountant Wu. I'll talk to him and he'll make some concessions if possible."
Old Qin also knew Li Miaomiao's ability, and he had completely won over Accountant Wu. If that was the case, he really didn't have to worry about the old friends in the village.
However, Mr. Qin was also very moved. The fact that Li Miaomiao could say these words showed that she had already considered some things ahead of him.
"Miao Miao, we are lucky to have met you. Otherwise, let alone what we are experiencing now, we are afraid we would not be able to survive."
Regardless of what others say, Mr. Qin knows his own body best. Last year, he was already having a hard time, thanks to the medicine that Li Miaomiao found from somewhere.
Now in the machinery factory, he doesn't have to do physical work. He is more responsible for giving instructions. The food is also good, and his health has recovered a lot.
Of course, the most useful things are the unknown medicines that Li Miaomiao gave him. He had some old illnesses. When he was young and living abroad, medical care was well developed, but the medicines he bought were not as effective as the ones given by Li Miaomiao.
"Mr. Qin, what are you talking about? You are all the people I admire the most. You will shine for our country in the future. If there is any loss because of this, it will be a loss for the country and for all of us H countrymen. As a H countryman, I just did what I felt I should do. In fact, I am actually selfish. I can only help you within my ability and without affecting my family."
"That's just like you, girl. You've done everything, but you're still afraid that the credit will fall on you."
After returning from Mr. Qin's place, Li Miaomiao found a place with a blind spot and bought a lot of meat from the system space and put it in the backpack.
"Miaomiao, where did you get so much pork?"
"Mom, this is what I came up with. Don't worry, I'm sensible and won't do anything dangerous. Seeing that the drought is getting worse, I want to make some dried meat and store it. If the drought gets worse, it won't be good to cook every day because the smell of cooking will easily spread. We can eat some dried meat to supplement our nutrition."
"You've thought it through. I can help you with anything you need."
As the days passed, the drought became more and more severe, and Pei Yifan also stopped attending classes and stayed at home. However, even if he didn't stop attending classes, it would be almost summer vacation.
The machinery factory is now operating in a half-operational state. Water resources are in short supply, as are other resources. Everyone looks dejected.
Zhou Shao knew that the drought in Jiang Province was severe, so he called and asked Li Miaomiao and her family to go to Kyoto and come back after the drought eased.
Li Miaomiao refused without a second thought. She had already made sufficient preparations for this drought and would definitely be able to get through it. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she was unwilling to trouble others like this, especially the Zhou family.
"Miaomiao, you don't have to worry too much. Mom and Dad all have the same idea and want to take you home."
"Really, no need. Thank you, godfather and godmother, for your kindness. I have prepared everything I should have, and it won't be a problem to get through this drought. Besides, there are my and Pei Guoan's relatives and family here, and I can't leave alone. I really can't ignore them."
Zhou Shao also knew what kind of personality Li Miaomiao had and knew that he couldn't persuade her: "Okay, if you need anything, let me know."
Just as he finished speaking, Old Mrs. Pei came in from outside. Pei Guoqiang from Tong County sent someone to deliver the news that Liu Lin was about to give birth in the next few days.
"Miaomiao, I'm even more worried about the situation outside. My fourth son's wife is about to give birth. I have to go back no matter what to see if I can help."
Old Mrs. Pei has been calculating the time and preparing things these days, just waiting for Pei Guoqiang to send a message.
"Mom, don't worry. It's not safe for you to go back with all these bags. There have been a lot of robberies recently. How about this, I'll wait for Pei Guoan to come back and tell him, then I'll borrow a car and take you back. It's a good opportunity for me to go back to my parents' house too, as my sister-in-law is about to give birth."
Mrs. Pei had heard of many robberies, but she was just so anxious that she didn't care about anything else. She heard Li Miaomiao say, "That would be great. It's really chaotic outside lately. I don't dare to stay on the street for long. Once people are forced into a desperate situation, they will do anything."
"Okay, I'll go pack my things right away. Mom, you prepare lunch. I'll borrow a car, and we'll leave after lunch."
Li Miaomiao didn't plan to wait until Pei Guoan came back in the evening. She could see that her mother-in-law was very anxious and restless at the moment, and she definitely didn't want to waste time.
Liu Lin's due date has arrived. It's hard to predict the time of childbirth. If it were a fast birth, she might have given birth by now. Li Miaomiao doesn't want to delay.
"Okay, I'll go cook."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Mrs. Pei felt relieved and no longer panicked. She quickly went to the kitchen to get busy.
"Mom, I'll go back with you too. I don't have to go to school now, and I want to go back and take a look."
Pei Yifan could tell that his mother had no intention of taking him back, but he wanted to go with her.
Hearing this, Old Man Pei also looked at Li Miaomiao: "How about I take Xiaofan with me and we go back together. We've been out of the village for so long, it's a good time to go back and take a look."
Seeing Old Man Pei like this, Li Miaomiao knew that he missed life in the village, although the situation in the village might not be very good now.
"Okay, since Dad said so, let's go back together. But we have to tell him about the National Security Bureau first, otherwise if he comes back at night, we will all be gone."
"Then tell him. Otherwise, let's see when Shaoze comes back. If he comes back early, let Shaoze tell him."
Old man Pei doesn't feel that bad for his son. He is such a grown man, so why should he be worried that he can't take care of himself?
"I just happened to be going to borrow a car, so I'll let you know."
After Li Miaomiao said this, she went to Pei Guoan's workplace and borrowed a car from Luo Shaoze.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here and will keep an eye on it. Just go ahead and do your best."
