Fan Xiaofan's voice carried a hint of melancholy: "What about the relief food?"
Li Dafu's weathered face now showed more helplessness than anything else: "Relief grain, given the situation, there must be quite a few disaster-stricken areas. I don't even know if we can get it, and even if we do, how much will it be?"
Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal.
Unfortunately, this was an era where hunger was the norm and being well-fed was a luxury.
That's why some people desperately want to get into factories, and that's why there's a surplus of urban educated youth while there are only so many job openings, leading to a continuous stream of educated youth being sent to the countryside.
It's all for the sake of my belly...
A person will starve to death if they have no food; the unbearable feeling is like ants gnawing at the heart.
Shi Lingheng noticed from afar that the lucky cat's eyes didn't look as bright and sparkling as usual; its expressive eyes now seemed to be veiled in mist.
Even though he was close by, she didn't seem to notice, lost in thought.
Fan Xiaofan pondered what she could do. This hailstorm was too unexpected. Since it had already happened, she couldn't look back. She had to move forward and think of a solution.
Lost in thought, a clear male voice rang in my ears: "These days, it's hard enough just to survive, isn't it?"
He seemed to be asking a question, yet also seemed to have already answered it.
Fan Xiaofan was startled. "Big Boss, when did you slip into my side?"
People can scare each other to death!
Shi Lingheng stared at her with a stubborn look in his eyes, as if waiting for her answer.
Even with her brows furrowed, the girl who resembled a lucky cat exuded a strange sense of joy, and the dot on her head...
The fur looked even more adorable as the wind blew through it.
Looking at Shi Lingheng with a puzzled expression, she blinked and said softly, "It is difficult, which is why we need to help each other even more..."
She looked up at the big boss's expression, but unfortunately, Shi Lingheng's expression was neither a smile nor a frown, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
Shi Lingheng said nothing more and turned to leave.
Fan Xiaofan was a little confused; the big boss seemed to be acting strangely.
Most of the villagers were busy with their final rescue and struggle. This was not Fan Xiaofan's area of expertise. She should do what she was good at in order to maximize the value of what she created.
Qingcheng is also in turmoil now; a torrential rain last night shattered all the peace.
Both the commune leader, Xu, and the person in charge of collecting grain looked rather grim. Xu could already foresee the damage to the fields after last night's hailstorm. This was the harvest season, and he feared that all their efforts would be in vain.
"Will the grain harvest be the same as before this time?"
President Xu looked at Wu Liangzhang, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.
Grain Manager Wu raised an eyebrow matter-of-factly: "Of course, rules are rules..."
President Xu frowned: "You know, there was hail last night, and I'm afraid the grain has been damaged. Can't you make an exception?"
He didn't dare say whether the current grain collection method was really correct.
Grain Manager Wu immediately slammed his hand on the table beside him: "President Xu, what do you mean by this? The whole country is supporting production now, are you saying that Qingcheng is going to hold back?"
President Xu couldn't say anything more.
He thought to himself, "You guys used to have all sorts of tricks up your sleeves, let's see how you handle this one."
In recent years, the amount of grain handed over to the state has increased, while the amount of grain in the hands of farmers has decreased. This is bad enough, but everyone is tightening their belts to support production, for fear of being labeled as backward elements.
