Thinking of this, Jiang Yan stood up and walked to the gate of Yuan Sufeng's house and knocked on the door. It was Wu Qiuyue who opened the door.
"Aunt Jiang Yan."
The little girl called people in a soft and sweet voice, but she frowned and didn't look very happy.
Jiang Yan asked gently, "Yueyue, where is your mother?"
"Mom went to exchange for food."
The little girl's answer made Jiang Yan more certain of her guess, and she asked a few more questions, but the little girl just shook her head and said nothing.
Jiang Yan became more and more worried and rubbed her head. "Yueyue, you are alone at home, do you want to play with Sister An Ning and the others?"
Wu Qiuyue shook her head. Jiang Yan told her to be careful at home and then returned to the open space.
Seeing Jiang Yan coming back, Feng Yingchun hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Yan shook her head. "Yueyue only knows that her mother went to exchange food. Let's wait for Sister Sufeng to come back and ask her."
At this time, a sister-in-law from the Eighth Regiment suddenly asked, "Did Sister Sufeng also send food home before?"
He Hongxiu and Feng Yingchun both shook their heads. Ye Fengjiao said, "Sister-in-law Sufeng usually sends money and notes home directly, but this is the first time she has sent food."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and we had some guesses in our hearts, but we didn't know how to say them out loud.
"It's getting late, and I have to go home to cook. I won't be with you guys anymore, you guys can chat slowly."
After saying something to everyone, a sister-in-law stood up and left, and seeing this, the others also left one after another.
Ye Fengjiao was a person who didn't want to suffer a loss. Seeing that everyone had left, she also stood up, "It's a bit cold. I'll go back first. Sister-in-law, you guys can chat slowly. If there's anything, call me."
"Be careful, I'll support you."
Zhuang Cuizhu hurriedly stood up and enthusiastically helped Ye Fengjiao walk home. He Hongxiu reminded her, "Okay, you go back first. Be careful not to fall."
Soon, only He Hongxiu, Feng Yingchun and Jiang Yan were left present.
Feng Yingchun said worriedly, "Sufeng's hometown must have suffered a disaster, so she is in a hurry to buy food."
The three of them had been waiting in the open space. Before the troops got off work, Yuan Sufeng hurried back carrying a bamboo basket, and was then stopped by Jiang Yan and the other two.
Jiang Yan stood in the middle, Feng Yingchun and He Hongxiu stood on her left and right respectively. The three of them stood in an arc, surrounding Yuan Sufeng.
"Sister Su Feng, tell me, what happened to you recently? Why do you always go out early and come back late, leaving Yueyue alone at home? Aren't you worried?"
"fine."
Yuan Sufeng shook her head, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she looked haggard and had obviously encountered some trouble.
Feng Yingchun said seriously, "Yuan Sufeng, what's wrong with you? We have been friends for so many years, can't you open your mouth?"
He Hongxiu also spoke up, "Yes, Sufeng, we are all farmers who depend on the weather for our livelihood. Every family will suffer from disasters. If you really encounter difficulties, just speak up and we will work together to find a solution."
Seeing the three people's enthusiasm, Yuan Sufeng's eyes immediately turned red.
"Not long ago, I received a letter from home saying that there was a big flood in my hometown this summer, and all the crops and houses were washed away. Winter is coming soon, and I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this year."
"So serious?"
Feng Yingchun was shocked. The disaster to the land was no mere talk. Every household in the rural area basically had no surplus food. If there was no harvest from the fields to supplement the food, there would be nothing to eat this year and people would really starve to death.
He Hongxiu asked hurriedly, "Why did you get the news only now?"
Yuan Sufeng's tears fell down. "The letter was written at the end of August. It must have been delayed on the way."
Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Feng Yingchun comforted her: "Don't worry, there are so many of us here, we can always find a way to solve it."
"Sister Su Feng, don't cry. I still have some food coupons at home. Wait a minute, I'll go home and get them."
After saying that, Jiang Yan turned around and walked home. He Hongxiu and Feng Yingchun said a few words to comfort her and then went home to search hard.
Although Sheng Pinghua and Xu Lei's salaries are not low, they have to use their monthly wages not only to support their own families, but also to send part of them to their parents in their hometown.
The national economy is not good now, and the rural areas are even poorer. The family has finally produced an officer who can earn money, so naturally they want their parents to enjoy the good life as well.
After all, you can't become an official and live a good life in the army with your wife and children, while letting your parents who raised you with great effort eat coarse food in their hometown.
As an officer, reputation is also very important, which directly affects their future and promotion.
On the premise that their parents have not done anything wrong, if they really dare to ignore their parents, this will become a weakness for their opponents to attack, and they will basically have no chance of promotion.
In addition to biological parents, some food coupons had to be sent to parents-in-law during the holidays. As a result, there were not many food coupons left.
After returning to the house, He Hongxiu took out all the money and bills she had hidden.
I did save some money, but I didn't have many tickets. After struggling for a long time, I finally took out half of it.
Saving lives is important.
If any military dependents really starved to death, the reputation of the Second Regiment would be bad.
Even though they are thousands of miles apart, when it comes to promotion, your disgusting competitors will be able to find out exactly how many banquets you held last year and how much money you spent.
Taking the money, He Hongxiu quickly went to Yuan Sufeng's house.
Feng Yingchun's home was nearby, and she was already in the yard comforting Yuan Sufeng.
"Sufeng, don't worry. Let's think of more ways. We must not let our parents back home get into trouble. They are military dependents."
At this time, He Hongxiu walked in and took out money from her pocket. "I have 100 yuan and 70 kilograms of food coupons. You can send them back first for emergency use. We will slowly find a way to make up for the remaining gap."
"Sister-in-law, I'm here."
