Knowing that Xiao Lingling was going out, Lin Feng had been preparing early in the morning.
I have been busy with the village wall project for the past half month, so only a small part of the order has been completed. It can be delivered to the store today.
By the way, let’s take a look at what the store has been like in the past two weeks.
Lin Feng pulled the carriage out of the backyard. Seeing that Xiao Lingdang had not come out yet, he stood at the door and called out, "Xiao Lingdang, we are ready to set off."
Hearing the sound, Xiao Lingling ran out of the room with a smile.
"Here I come, here I come, hey hey, Daddy, I feel like I haven't been out for a long time."
Lin Feng smiled and bent down to pick up the little guy. "It seems like it's been a long time. You, girl, I'm afraid you've become wild and want to run away.
Let's go, sit down quickly, we are ready to go! Mom, we are leaving, don't wait for us to come back at noon. I will help my brother in the store, we will be back later.
Zhao came out carrying a backpack.
"Go ahead, take these to your eldest brother. This year's harvest is good, and the food is delicious. Bring some to your eldest brother and his family as well, so everyone can have a taste."
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhao waved her hand, and soon the carriage disappeared from her sight.
Arriving at the main gate of the village wall, we saw that since the village wall was built, there have been two villagers guarding it every day, taking turns for safety reasons.
When I saw Lin Feng driving over, I knew they were going to the county.
"Hey, Brother Lin, are you going to the county?"
"Yeah, go check it out at the store and drop off the finished goods."
"Okay, then Brother Lin, please slow down."
"Hey, you guys have worked hard too. I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back."
"That's great, we'll be waiting for it."
Lin Feng came out of the village while chatting, and then started running all the way. However, slowly, he found that something seemed wrong.
Their Shuanghe Village is not far from the county and the provincial capital. The road here is the official road, which is wider and faster.
But he hadn't been out for more than half a month, so how come he started to vaguely see refugees on the road?
It's not that he is sensitive, but he knows very well that this is how their family was a few months ago.
So the moment I saw it, my scalp started to tingle.
Little Bell felt that the carriage had slowed down, and curiously stuck her head out of the window.
When I saw this, I felt bad all over.
What's going on?
How come the drought has become so serious in just half a month?
There are refugees here too?
But she had clearly sent disaster relief food before, and logically there should be a godfather in the county providing porridge, so why did these disaster victims come here?
Just thinking about this, Xiao Lingling started to panic.
"Dad, let's hurry up. Did something happen in the county?"
Lin Feng outside also began to react at this time. Seeing the refugees staring at his carriage, his scalp suddenly went numb.
"Little Bell, you're done, Daddy's going to speed up!"
As he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand, and the next moment, the carriage started to run quickly. People on the roadside quickly got out of the way, fearing that they would be hit.
However, the closer to the county, the more refugees there are.
Although it is not as crowded as it used to be, it is enough to show that the drought in the north is becoming more and more serious.
The guards at the county gate were extremely strict, and there was a special porridge distribution area nearby, which was guarded by six yamen runners.
The refugees lined up and waited obediently for a bowl of porridge.
Although I’m not full, it’s better than being hungry.
Lin Feng waited in line for the inspection to be over, then quickly entered the city and headed straight for the county government office.
At this moment, the situation in my own store can be put aside. My little girl’s affairs are more important.
However, when the carriage arrived at the county government office, it was found that it was already overcrowded.
A large number of refugees gathered here, regardless of gender, age or status, all of them were ragged and looked exhausted.
Even so, they all knelt at the gate of the county government office, wanting the county magistrate to take them in.
In this situation, Xiao Lingling definitely couldn't enter through the main gate.
"Dad, let's go to the back door!"
Lin Feng nodded blankly and immediately rushed to the back door.
The door here was also closed. Xiao Lingling went forward and knocked on the door, and soon the voice of a servant was heard from inside.
"Who is it?"
Little Bell's childish voice rang out, "It's me, Little Bell!"
As soon as she heard the voice, the back door immediately cracked open.
"Oh, Second Miss, it really is you, come on, come in!"
Lin Feng was thinking about the situation in the store. "Xiao Lingdang, go in obediently. I'm going to the store. I'll pick you up when I'm done. Don't run around, okay?"
The situation was special now, so Xiao Lingling nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't do anything rash. Go ahead and be careful."
Lin Feng nodded, watched Xiao Lingling go in with his own eyes, and then drove the carriage away.
As soon as little Lingling came in, she was taken to the study. This was the instruction given by the adults themselves.
Little Bell was not surprised at all.
When I arrived at the door, I heard Wu Bokai discussing disaster relief matters with others inside.
Although I couldn't see his expression, I could hear his anxiety.
“How many refugees are there outside now?”
"Sir, there were only five or six people this morning, but now there are 20 or 30 of them. What should we do?"
"You ask me, how should I know? I don't know what happened to those people, why did they let these refugees come here.
Okay, now is not the time to complain. Go and ask the kitchen to make some steamed buns, and then send them to the front to distribute to the refugees.
I said, "I'm thinking of a solution, but first ask them to go to the unified resettlement area outside the city and wait. If anything comes up, I will work with them."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, but sir, what if they refuse to leave?"
"Now is a special period. Although we need to rescue the refugees, we also need to protect the people in the city. So this is non-negotiable!
We told them that from now on, whether we were giving out free porridge or providing disaster relief, we would only be doing so at the resettlement area at the city gate. If they didn’t go, they wouldn’t get any!”
"Yes, sir! I'll go right away!"
After that, the door of the study was opened, and Liu Fu walked out.
Seeing Xiao Lingdang waiting here, he quickly bowed and hurried out.
When Xiao Lingling entered, Wu Bokai was leaning back in his chair, pinching his forehead with his right hand. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
Xiao Lingling took a few steps forward and saw that his face had turned yellow. "Godfather, although you have to help these refugees, you also have to take care of your health."
Hearing the sound of the little bell, Wu Bokai raised his head suddenly, a helpless look flashed across his face, "Little Bell, you're here!"
