Chapter 116 Encountering Second Uncle
Hearing Lin Shanshan's answer, Gu Yiye looked proud and said, "My little wife is so insightful!"
Lin Shanshan smiled shyly.
The food on the barbecue grill was cooked. After the two finished eating, they took out grapes, bananas, and mangoes from their spatial storage and ate them. After resting for a while, they embarked on their journey of artificial rainmaking once again!
It wasn't until evening that Gu Yiye realized they had already left the province!
Both of them were a little tired, and since they had eaten barbecue at noon, they didn't want to eat greasy food, so they took out six boxes of self-heating rice from their storage space.
Lin Shanshan got hungry very quickly because she was pregnant. She had eaten a lot of duck necks, fish tails, chicken legs and cream puffs along the way. Now her stomach couldn't hold much more. She ate half a box, while Gu Yiye ate five and a half boxes!
After Gu Yiye finished eating and collected the trash, he asked Lin Shanshan to put it into his spatial storage. Then he said, "Shanshan, this place is too far from the county town. Let's go to the nearby brigade and find the brigade cadres to see if we can stay here for the night."
Generally speaking, brigade cadres receive allowances, so their families are usually a little better off and their wives can live more comfortably.
Another reason is that most of the brigade cadres are upright people who are not afraid of encountering bad people with ill intentions.
People like Zhu Shengli were rare in the 1970s!
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Okay!"
Gu Yiye drove the car to the nearest brigade. The sun was setting, and a few stars dotted the sky.
After driving along the makeshift road for about ten minutes, we saw a brightly lit area in the distance. Following the light for another two or three minutes, we found that the yard of this family was full of cars.
Judging from the license plate, it's a car from Beijing.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan exchanged a glance, and spoke at the same time, perfectly in sync: "It might be Second Uncle and the others."
Gu Yiye parked the car and carried Lin Shanshan out. At that moment, someone inside heard the commotion outside and came out to check.
A young man in a Zhongshan suit came out. Seeing that Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan got out of the SUV, he politely asked, "Comrades, who are you looking for?"
Gu Yiye asked, "Excuse me, is Comrade Ren Guorong inside?"
Seeing that Gu Yiye was driving a car with a Shanghai license plate and that his face resembled Ren Guorong's, the young man assumed he was Ren Guorong's son and said, "Yes, come in with me."
Gu Yiye led Lin Shanshan into the house, holding her hand. When they encountered steps, he carefully protected Lin Shanshan and said, "Wife, there are steps."
Lin Shanshan smiled and replied, "Mm!"
When the two entered the house, Ren Guorong was discussing drought relief with several people around the table. Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan gestured to the young people not to disturb them, and the two of them stood aside and waited quietly.
At this moment, a young man with a scholarly air spoke up: "I think we can dig a well to get water. There is a well in my courtyard that has water all year round."
Ren Guorong sighed inwardly. This An Shaojie was the grandson of a retired minister. The minister wanted his grandson to go to the countryside to gain experience, so he asked Ren Guorong to bring him along.
I can't believe they don't even have a basic sense of common sense.
Ren Guorong's wife, Xie Dongmei, said, "Comrade Xiao An, the drought has lasted too long, and there may not be enough water resources underground. Moreover, even if there were, how many problems can one well solve?"
"Then take a few more shots!" An Shaojie said confidently.
Ren Guorong shook his head and said, "How much manpower and financial resources would that require? And it wouldn't even solve the fundamental problem."
An Shaojie wanted to say something more, but Ren Guorong waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Let's stop here for today. Everyone go back and think it over carefully. We'll discuss it again tomorrow. If all else fails, we'll prepare for the worst and get ready to comfort the disaster victims."
After all, with current technology, humanity is far too insignificant in the face of natural disasters.
Everyone took their notebooks and pens and left one after another. When An Shaojie passed by Lin Shanshan, his eyes widened and he quickly asked, "This lady, are you an educated youth from the Shimei Brigade?"
After all, judging from Lin Shanshan's stunning beauty and fashionable, appropriate attire, she certainly wasn't a country girl.
Her overall demeanor is even better than that of the daughters of high-ranking officials in Beijing!
Like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, An Shaojie hurriedly introduced himself: "Hello, fellow educated youth, my name is An Shaojie, I'm a drought relief commissioner from Beijing, my grandfather was..."
Gu Yiye's face darkened as he was annoyed by this man who dared to pursue his young wife right in front of him. If this An Shaojie wasn't his second uncle's colleague, he would have punched him long ago.
Gu Yiye, unable to contain himself any longer, coldly said, "Comrade An, my wife has absolutely no interest in where you're from or what your name is, and she has even less interest in who your grandfather is!"
