Chapter 402
"Everyone had hoped to improve their living conditions, but now, it's getting worse."
Su Qingci looked at the sadness on Xu Dasheng's face and saw that it didn't seem fake. She gritted her teeth and said.
"Actually, before I fished you out of the water, I also fished out some other items from the sea."
"There's also a safe inside, and it's filled with quite a bit of Bay Dollars, almost half the safe."
Xu Dasheng's pupils shrank, and he quickly understood what Su Qingci meant.
He immediately knelt down in front of Su Qingci and said, "I want to thank you on behalf of Da Niu, the brothers who went to sea with me, and the elderly, weak, women and children in their families. Thank you for saving my life. Good people like you will definitely be rewarded. God will see it. You are a living Bodhisattva..."
Poor people can empathize with that kind of despair better. Su Changzhi and Sigui also looked at Su Qingci with hope.
Su Qingci helped Xu Dasheng up and said, "You and Sigui should go out and find out who the sailors who went to sea with the Ghana are, and also get a general understanding of their family situations."
"I left the safe on the cruise ship at Wutuo Mountain. I'll bring the money down later and see how much there is."
Sigui and Xu Dasheng were very excited. "Okay, okay, let's go out and find out now."
Su Qingci nodded and said, "Just ride my bike!"
The two men did not dare to delay for a moment and turned around and went out immediately. If they delayed for a moment, it might cost a life.
After the two of them left, Su Qingci asked Su Changzhi softly.
"Uncle, have you discussed going home with Aunt and the others?"
Su Changzhi smiled and said, "It's all settled. They all understand me and are willing to go back with me."
"As long as things here are dealt with, we can leave at any time."
Su Changzhi's face was filled with uneasiness as he spoke. "I just don't know what the situation will be like at home after I go back. Sixiang and Sijia are still studying. If I go back..."
"Besides, I don't know what the situation is over there. Is it difficult to find a job? We don't have any special abilities. We can't just sit at home and eat for free, right?"
"I want to go home and see my mother. I don't want to be a burden to her."
Su Qingci comforted him, "Uncle, we are all family. Why are you being so reserved? Besides, I am largely responsible for you getting lost. If he can't make proper arrangements for you, I guarantee that I can send him to see my great-grandfather right away."
"Besides, don't we still have us?"
"Just relax and don't think too much. Just wait peacefully until you get home to see grandma."
"Although the situation in the country is still a little tense, it will soon get better. The overall situation is not as bad as you think."
What Su Qingci said is not wrong. The country will resume the college entrance examination next year, and then small vendors will gradually appear. Then the great man will carry out reform and opening up and develop the south.
The situation will gradually improve. As long as you are willing to work hard and have the courage, supporting a family will no longer be a difficult task.
Seeing that Su Changzhi was in a better mood, Su Qingci made an excuse to go to the cruise ship to get something and said goodbye to him.
"It's already this late, aren't you going to eat before leaving?"
Su Qingci shook her head. "I got up late and just had breakfast. I'm not hungry yet."
Seeing Su Changzhi's depressed look, Su Qingci said, "Let's have dinner together."
Su Changzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, let's have dinner at my uncle's house. Your aunt's cooking skills are very good."
Su Qingci nodded, "Then I have to taste it carefully."
"Okay, uncle, I'm leaving now. I'll come back this afternoon."
"Okay, be careful."
When Sixiang and Sijia saw Su Qingci was about to leave, their eyes were full of reluctance, and they followed her out.
"Sister, are you leaving again?"
Su Qingci just learned from a casual chat with Su Changzhi that although he came to visit, Liao Fengmei had discussed with him and only let Sigui take the Liao family surname.
Sixiang and Sijia below both have Su Changzhi's surname.
Full name Su Sixiang, Su Sijia.
Su Qingci smiled and nodded, "Sister is going out to do something, and will come back later."
The little girl's face immediately filled with a bright smile, "Okay, sister, come back quickly when you're done. I have a gift for you."
Su Qingci pretended to be curious, "What gift?"
Su Sixiang smiled shyly, "Keep it a secret."
After leaving the Su family, Su Qingci took out another bicycle from the farm and rode it along the coastline, looking at the children walking on the beach, wearing tattered clothes and tanned all over.
A woman with a haggard face, bent over and carrying a heavy backpack.
An old man was standing at the door, leaning on a cane and moving slowly with a painful look on his face.
In this remote coastal town, most of the residents rely on the sea for survival. They do not have good fishing tools, and most of them still rely on manual fishing like the indigenous people in the past. Therefore, when they get old, many people have to suffer from decompression sickness.
Su Qingci pushed the bicycle and took in the local customs and practices. When the time was almost up, he found a secluded place and flashed into the farm with his bicycle.
They opened the safe that was salvaged from the ship and took out all the Taiwanese currency inside.
Su Qingci took a rough look and found that they were all sorted one by one. What caught her eye were a bunch of thousand-yuan notes, as well as quite a few five-hundred and one-hundred-yuan notes, and even one ten-thousand-yuan note.
I roughly counted them and it was close to 300,000.
Converted into RMB, it is about 60,000 yuan.
Su Qingci found a black mountaineering bag and put all the money in it. Then he took two strips of bacon, two sausages, and caught a local chicken from the farm.
Su Changzhi's family was in dire straits. Although they had the intention, it was a bit difficult for them to prepare this meal tonight.
It was not yet five o'clock when Su Qingci returned to Su Changzhi's house carrying a lot of bags.
Liao Fengmei looked at Su Qingci's bags and kept muttering.
"Oh, Qingci, why did you buy so many things? How much did it cost?"
"Dazhi, look, I bought so many vegetables..."
Su Changzhi felt relieved when he saw the dishes prepared by Su Qingci. Although he had invited her to dinner, the only things left at home were a basin of oysters that Sixiang and Sijia had picked up at the beach, some dried fish left over from previous drying, and six eggs that Liao Fengmei had borrowed from the neighboring house.
"These are all gifts from Qingci. Keep them. Make them tonight and invite Dasheng's family to get together. Sigui went out this time. If Dasheng hadn't been watching over him, Sigui really wouldn't have waited until Qingci picked him up. He should thank him."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Xiaoyu and Aunt Zeng Liang now and ask them not to cook dinner tonight and come to our house for dinner."
Liao Fengmei walked outside while speaking. She was sincerely grateful to Xu Dasheng.
Sigui came back and told them that Xu Dasheng had risked his life several times to leave the only hope of survival for Sigui.
In that situation, Xu Dasheng really treated Sigui as his own son from the bottom of his heart.
