Chapter 158 Relief
Jiang Yue is back, and Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others finally have a way to go.
Their Kenqing Farm was much colder than his sister's county town.
It's already spring and flowers are blooming in the county, but it's still as cold as winter here.
Fortunately, it didn’t snow again after the New Year.
This is a blessing in disguise.
The road was said to be open, which meant that the workers and educated youth in the forest farm spontaneously organized themselves to clear a path.
Otherwise, you can’t get down the mountain at all.
The people in the forest farm have long been unable to hold on, the workers’ food has long been eaten up, and now every household can’t even survive by drinking porridge.
If this continues, people will starve to death.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and her friends are not having a good time either.
There is not much food, and the only cabbage is gone. Even if there are pheasant eggs, rabbit meat and pheasant meat to eat, they cannot be eaten every meal.
The remaining rice can only be boiled into porridge to last for three days at most.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was anxious but there was nothing she could do.
If she took out the food rashly, it would be tantamount to announcing to everyone that there was something wrong with her.
She was so anxious that blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The road was finally open yesterday.
Jiang Xiaoxiao finally had a good sleep.
Early this morning, the field manager Guo Dongjun had already led his men down the mountain to the county.
We must bring back some relief food from the county.
The snowstorm this year is so severe.
Regarding the situation of their forest farm, the county will definitely arrange some relief food.
The educated youth at their educated youth center were also waiting.
Their food supplies were soon running out.
It is impossible to wait for the grain harvest for several months now, and it is very difficult to survive these months.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought that if the road was open, she would go to the production team to make a phone call to see if her sister had returned.
Normally, according to her assumption, her sister should have given birth to a child and returned to the county.
This time, without the trouble caused by the Qin family, my sister will probably be able to have a peaceful confinement period without suffering from so many illnesses.
The most important thing is that she wants to go to two more places.
This was someone who had done her a favor in her previous life, even though the time when they met in this life was a little too early, but she had to go.
Otherwise she will be uneasy for the rest of her life.
In my previous life, I lived alone with three children.
At that time, I couldn't make ends meet and was nearly dying of illness. If I hadn't met some kind-hearted people who helped me,
She really died in the hospital, and she didn't even have the money to pay the hospital. If it weren't for the courageous and kindhearted people who helped her pay for the medical expenses, she wouldn't be here.
But because I paid for her medical expenses.
After Liu Guoqing returned, he refused to get married because he could not afford the bride price and he had already agreed to get a marriage certificate with his blind date.
When she later found Liu Guoqing, she discovered that Liu Guoqing's life was quite miserable because of her.
He was a good veteran, but after returning home, he ended up marrying a widow.
The widow had two sons.
Liu Guoqing never had a son of his own in his entire life.
After raising sons for other people, in his old age, his two sons were unfilial.
In fact, Liu Guoqing's life has undergone tremendous changes because of her.
Originally, she and Liu Guoqing were supposed to meet ten years later, but she remembered that Liu Guoqing's parents starved to death because of this snowstorm.
At such a young age, Liu Guoqing shouldered the burden of the family alone.
In order to take care of his younger brothers and sisters and to have food to eat, he had no choice but to sell three of the six houses in his family to others.
But because of this, in the end someone took over their six houses.
As a result, the three brothers were sent to an orphanage.
There were no orphanages at that time, to put it bluntly, there were welfare homes.
She thought of Liu Guoqing because the food supply at their educated youth camp had run out.
There was so much food piled up in her space, but she had no way to take it out. She suddenly thought of Liu Guoqing.
This is what happened to this boy who was five years younger than her.
She knew about Liu Guoqing's past because Liu Guoqing drowned while trying to save a child who fell into the water.
His past deeds were just dug up by people.
Jiang Xiaoxiao also saw it in the newspaper. Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Guoqing had been a good person all his life, and such a good person should not be treated like this.
It was not until the afternoon that Guo Dongjun came back with the accountant and the branch secretary of the farm.
The three men looked dusty and dirty, and everyone who saw them knew that they must have failed.
"Director, is it because the county won't approve relief grain for us?"
The workers are anxious because there are so many mouths at home waiting for food.
Guo Dongjun sighed, "The county leaders said that this year's snowstorm was too severe, and it was not just our area that was affected. More than a dozen farms and production team villages around us were also affected. The county cannot patronize our forest farm.
Although the relief grain has been approved, it must be distributed one by one according to the most severely affected areas. I have asked the leaders in charge of relief grain in the county, and they said that the current amount of relief grain is a drop in the bucket. We can only focus on the farms that have been severely affected. Although our Kenqing Farm has also been affected, ours is not the worst hit.
According to the order, I'll probably be at the back of the queue. The big farms ahead of us have at least several thousand people, and we can't let them starve to death."
What Guo Dongjun said concealed a part of the truth. There was not much relief grain in the county.
Because the entire region suffered a severe snowstorm, not just their area.
The province and the city are now busy with disaster relief.
The amount of grain allocated to their county was really very little.
The response given by the county leaders was to let them find ways to save themselves, and now they can only rely on their own abilities.
The leader said that they were in a forest farm with so much wood in it, so they could find a way to exchange the wood for food, or use other methods, such as bartering. It was something they had to figure out themselves.
If we rely on the county, there is really no hope.
The county leaders had been up for several days and nights, holding meetings and making arrangements all night long.
Dedicated leaders were sent to various farms and production teams to help with local disaster relief.
Reduce the losses and casualties caused by the disaster to the local area.
The most important thing is to calm people's hearts and encourage everyone to find ways to save themselves, even if it means borrowing from relatives and friends.
Guo Dongjun felt disappointed when he heard this. To put it bluntly, they were left to figure out a solution themselves, even though they had relatives and friends as farm workers.
But the nearest one is more than 100 miles away from them. Although the road is open now, it is just a simple road, which makes it extremely difficult to get there.
Not only they suffered from the disaster, but all the surrounding villages, production teams, and farms were also affected.
To ask for food from someone else is like borrowing their life. Who would be willing to lend their life to others?
The workers and educated youth on the entire farm were all silent. What should they do? Just wait here for relief?
Guo Dongjun directly called several key cadres of the farm, and also called Song Moting, Jiang Xiaoxiao, He Aiguo and others.
These are the leaders among the educated youth. We called them over to discuss countermeasures. After all, we are all in the same boat now.
