A few months after the flood, Chu Rong thought that grain merchants would hoard and drive up grain prices, then refugees would be displaced, and the court would release grain for disaster relief, but it turned out that she was overthinking. The law was there, and no one dared to raise the price, and she didn't see the so-called refugees, and she didn't know about the distribution of food for disaster relief.
Around Wenshui County, the only place she knew of floods was Xiaowu Mountain. The last time she went to visit Shoujiang¡¯s wife, she heard from Wu¡¯s family that all the fields were flooded and the houses in the village collapsed. The only thing she was lucky about was that the village had prepared in advance. , everyone is fine.
She originally thought that this natural disaster was not serious, but after Huang Guizong sighed and finished speaking, Chu Rong knew that her thinking was simple.
Of the six counties in Lingnan Prefecture, Wenshui County, where they are located, was the least affected. Only a few villages and Zhuangzi were flooded. Now that the water level in the river has dropped over the past few months, most of the people who ran out have gone back. Refugees were found in the county town.
On the contrary, in Fengshui County, which was hit the hardest, more than a dozen surrounding villages were hit by the disaster.
Huang Guizong's description is as detailed as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Liu Guilan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are more emotional, their smiles are gone, and even their eyes are red. Chu Rong is fine, no matter whether she feels sad or not, at least she doesn't show much on her face. Come out, maybe sad, maybe feel pitiful, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, and all that is left in the end is helplessness.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have existed since ancient times. In modern times, with advanced technology and various early warning equipment, floods and earthquakes are inevitable, let alone here.
Chu Rong sighed a few times, then changed the subject with a smile, and of course she didn't forget to stare at Huang Guizong, this one who has no eyesight, but he can't stop talking, didn't you see that her daughter-in-law was about to cry? .
After the mid-autumn festival was over, Chu Rong and his party waited until Haishi to say goodbye and leave.
The next day, Chu Xiao and Fang Po proposed to return to Beijing. Although Chu Rong was reluctant to give up, but she was mentally prepared, but she didn't have much reaction. After setting off after lunch, Chu Rong hurriedly asked Huang Shuhai to pick up the child from the school. The uncle was leaving. If he didn't tell them, he might make a fuss.
Huang Shuhai went to pick up the children, while Chu Rong was busy bringing back something for the two of them. She didn't have the gold, silver and jade articles, and even if she had them, she wouldn't give them to them. The principle of light affection is heavy, bacon and sausages, smoked rabbit smoked chicken, plus pickles and kimchi are packed into a large box.
After thinking about it with Fang Po as a guest, these things alone seemed inappropriate, so Chu Rong moved out two jars of ginseng wine that she had soaked earlier from the storage room.
Chu Xiao, who was standing in the yard talking to Fang Po, caught a glimpse of Chu Rong holding two wine jars, swaying out with great effort, stopped talking, and ran forward to help.
"Sister Rong, I can't drink any more today, the alcohol is gone." Chu Xiao put the wine jar on the stone table, and said with curled lips.
Chu Rong gave him a disgusted look, "Qixi, this wine is for the two of you to take home, one jar per person, you have to take good care of it on the way, and don't pour it directly when you drink it, drink it with a grape. By the way, you can only drink a small cup a day, but don't drink it all in one meal."
Once these words came out, let alone Chu Xiao, even Fang Po, who had just walked over, wanted to roll his eyes. Although I didn't get along with Chu Rong for a long time, I didn't realize that she was so stingy. Just this small jar, no more than five catties of wine, as for drinking a small cup a day.
Chu Xiao was also stunned, looked at the wine jar with a strange expression, and then looked at Chu Rong, "Is there really wine in it?"
Chu Rong glanced at Chu Xiao at the idiot, and said unhappily, "It's not wine or something, don't look at me with that look, this wine jar contains ginseng, century-old ginseng, half a plant in each, this If you drink it all in one go, you'll get a nosebleed."
"Century-year-old ginseng?" Fang Po's voice suddenly rose, and she rushed over to hug the wine jar in disbelief. This is a good thing. Last time the old lady was ill, she came back with ginseng supplies. Before leaving home, her elder brother was still in various places. Looking for older ginseng, they even sent people to Di Country to buy it.
"Sister Rong, no no, you are my own sister, do you still have ginseng? It's just just not soaked in wine." Fang Po stepped in front of Chu Rong, rubbing her hands excitedly. His old lady doesn't care much about wine, and she doesn't dare to let her drink it. It's a pity that the ginseng plant is gone. If it wasn't soaked in wine, he would have bought it for as much money as possible.
Chu Rong was taken aback, and subconsciously took two steps back. Seeing that Fang Po was excited, she stared at the wine jar with a heartbroken expression. After thinking about it, she knew that this guy was feeling sorry for the ginseng.
"Sister Rong, my little brother's grandmother is old and not in good health.Ginseng is something that can last your life. If If you have any extra, please cut it off, and I will thank you with a lot of money. "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
