Chapter 276: This family has a future
The county government is very active. After the meeting, it issued an order, and all factories and communes responded actively. For things like flood control and disaster relief, everyone is united. Time is life. One more day to transport supplies can save one more life.
Shen Meng was not idle either. After returning home at night, she counted her supplies in the space. Except for the things she bought with her own money, some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, and fruits and grains she raised could be used for disaster relief. After all, these things were almost full in the space.
It's easy to take it out, but it's hard to say it. She hesitated in the room for a long time and couldn't think of any excuse to use. She washed up in the room. When she came out, she turned her head and saw a hair rope hanging on the wall. Her eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea.
The next morning, she went directly to the county government.
When she arrived, Li Chuan was in a meeting. Secretary Guan saw her coming and brought her a cup of hot water.
"Why are you here so early? The secretary is in a meeting. The meeting room is full of people. It is estimated that it will not end in a while. You have a lot to wait for!"
"What I'm going to talk about is a big deal. It's very important. Jesse, do you remember old John's daughter? The foreign man next to her at the time, named Mark, was her fiancé. He was a farmer, or a landlord in our language. He talked to me before and wanted to export grain to our side. I didn't understand at the time and didn't answer the phone. After returning to the bus company yesterday, I called the number Jesse gave me. I found out that Mark's men smuggled the grain here and were afraid of being discovered. Now the grain is piled up near our provincial capital. Mark's men have already run away. He thought that since the grain was useless and no one knew about it, he just left it there. He boarded the plane and left with Jesse this morning. I thought that since the grain was there, it would be a waste if we didn't use it. Otherwise, it would be a waste if we just left it there."
"What, food, there is really food, is what you said true?"
Shen Meng said tremblingly: "What are you shouting, what are you shouting, how do I know, this is what Jesse complained to me, saying that Mark said it when he was drunk, I don't know if it's true, you better keep your voice down, or, how about we go and take a look first, if there is really food, then report to Secretary Li, okay, otherwise it will be a waste of time?"
Secretary Guan bit his fingers in panic, walked around twice before saying to Shen Meng: "Okay, I'll ask for leave and apply for a car, let's go and take a look."
Shen Meng hesitated for a moment, his face full of regret, which made Secretary Guan look a little uneasy.
"What's the matter? If there really is food, it will solve a big problem! Comrade Shen, why are you still frowning? If you don't want to go, give me the address and I'll go and take a look myself."
"Secretary Guan, it's not that I don't want to go. You have to know that Mark originally wanted to export his farm's food to our country. His people quietly brought in so much food. If it was discovered, he would not be able to cooperate with our country in the future. When Jesse told me this, she begged me to keep it a secret, but I know that she also wanted to help her fiancé solve this problem through me. The main thing is that this batch of food has not been declared, and the customs does not have the approval document. This is a big deal, and we two little shrimps can't make the decision."
"It's already this late, why are you still caring about those things? Let's find food first, and we'll talk about the rest later. Nothing is more important than human life. If we save people, everything will be a minor matter."
"Okay."
Shen Meng looked at Secretary Guan and felt that this guy had a bright future. Anyone who could be the secretary of a high-ranking county official would have a high position in the future. She had wanted to get along well with Secretary Guan before, but after she came back, this guy had been busy with Secretary Li in the provincial capital, and she had no time to make friends with him. Now she had the time to build a good relationship with him.
After Secretary Guan asked for leave, he took Shen Meng directly to a jeep in the compound. It was not until the car drove onto the main road that Secretary Guan had time to ask questions.
"Comrade Shen, you kept saying that the amount of food was huge. How much is it?"
"Jesse said it was five or five hundred tons or something. I can't remember clearly. I was wondering how they could get so much food without making any noise. I can't believe it."
"Hehe, why can't you believe it? Why are those black market tycoons so persistent? You have a plan, I have a ladder, they have their own ways, but it's unbelievable that they just threw away so much food."
Shen Meng didn't say anything. Didn't she call Jesse in the morning and know that they were on the plane before she dared to really pull their flag? As long as they are still in the country, she has to pay special attention to them.
The car drove for two hours and finally arrived at the destination.
There is no one in this mountain village anymore. Shen Meng mentioned it unintentionally when she called Lu Zhenping after he came back from his mission, mainly to praise the chili powder she brought for its effectiveness.
"It's such a big village, and there's no one here?"
"Let's not worry about that for now. Jesse only told me that he's here, but he didn't say anything specific. Let's look for him separately."
"No, what if something happens? How can I explain to the secretary?"
Shen Meng frowned and looked at him, and said very disapprovingly: "Comrade Guan, time is life. Don't waste time. You should find food as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she ran inside and opened the door one by one. When Secretary Guan saw her like this, he also hurried in. Who knew that before he ran up to her, he heard Guan's scream.
"Oh my god, there really is food, Secretary Guan, come quickly, come quickly."
Secretary Guan ran over to see, and indeed there was food, not only that, but there was a lot of it, so much that he was shocked and didn't know what to say, not only was there food, but there was also fruit, things he had seen before, things he had never seen before, basket after basket, sack after sack, so much that she was dazzled.
Not only was one family filled with food, but several houses behind were also filled with food, and they couldn't even be locked.
"This is a food disaster, that's right!"
"Secretary Guan, now is not the time to talk about this, call Secretary Li quickly and ask him to send a car over to pick up the food quietly in batches. If we make a big fuss, it will be a disaster."
"Yes, yes, you are right, I will make a call right now."
The two of them acted separately. Secretary Guan asked Shen Meng to hide in a secluded place, and he drove to make a call and would come to pick her up later. Shen Meng found a place to lie down, and if you didn't pay
attention, you couldn't see anyone at all. Secretary Guan saw that she was hiding honestly, so he was relieved and drove away quickly.
