When Li Xu heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she asked in amus.e.m.e.nt, “You’ve never seen rice before. Do you know what rice looks like?”
Their S City did not produce rice.
Her daughter had never left S City since she was young. How could she know what rice looks like?
Ji Yuanyuan explained in a serious tone, “Although I’ve never seen real rice, I’ve seen pictures of rice before!”
Li Xu smiled and kissed her daughter’s face. “Alright, my daughter is really smart. She can recognize rice just by looking at the pictures.”
Ji Yuanyuan blinked. “That Old Grandpa even told me the people there are so pitiful. The water used to cook instant noodles is muddy water. He wants me to help them!”
After a pause, she deliberately asked, “Mom, do you think I should help them?”
…..
The flood did not have a significant impact on S City. At most, the price of goods had increased a little, and the harvest this year had also been affected.
However, for several cities in the south, the impact was huge.
Houses collapsed, people were trapped, crops were washed away, and livestock drowned…
When the rescue was carried out, many supplies were not in place, so the rescue workers could only starve to save people.
There was not enough drinking water, so they could only boil instant noodles with muddy water.
When she saw the news on the Internet, Ji Yuanyuan thought, what was the taste of the noodles made with muddy water? It was definitely not delicious, but those people had no choice. Some food was better than no food at all.
“We should! Of course, we should help them!” Li Xu said firmly when she heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words!
She said these words without thinking.
“Yuanyuan, you must remember this. There is no harm in helping others as much as you can. Your good intentions will definitely bear good results in the future!” Li Xu instructed in a low voice.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded her head vigorously. ”1 will remember Mom! Then what should we do now?”
Li Xu did not speak for a long time when she heard this.
That’s right, what should we do?
It was hard to say whether this matter was true or not.
Even if it was true, they had no way to stop it from happening, so they could only try their best to provide them with supplies.
After a long silence, Li Xu’s gaze re and more determined.
“Tomorrow, Mom will go rent a warehouse!” Li Xu said.
Rent a warehouse and stock up on some supplies first.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and secretly praised her mother’s correct decision.
Stocking up on supplies right now was not only good but also cheap.
If a disaster really happened, not only would the prices of all kinds of supplies rise, but even money might not be able to buy them.
In this world, there was no shortage of people who had made fortunes during the national calamity.
They wanted to help those who had been affected by the disaster, but money could not be earned by those who had made fortunes during the national calamity. They had to save as much as possible.
Their strength was limited. They might not be able to help much, but they also wanted to do their part.
Otherwise, even though she knew that the flood would happen, she would not be able to do anything. She would probably regret it when she thought about it in the future!
As long as she did it and did her best, no matter how many people she could help, it would be worth it.
Li Xu’s actions were very decisive. On the second day, she handed the shop over to Zhang Kun and went to deal with this matter herself.
Of course, other than Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan, no one else knew about this matter.
Li Xu used the excuse of signing up for a piano lesson for Ji Yuanyuan for seven days. Every day, she would bring Ji Yuanyuan out early and return late.
Zhan only thought that Li Xu had brought Ji Yuanyuan out for a lesson and did not think too much about it.
Li Xu quickly rented a warehouse and stocked it full of things.
Instant noodles, bottled water, tents, raincoats, and some emergency medicine…
Everything that Li Xu could think of was stocked up.
Stocked up with these things had practically emptied Li Xu’s family fortune. However, Li Xu did not feel the slightest bit of hearThe money. Money would eventually be earned back.
The May 17th holiday was spent in a busy manner.
After the holiday, Li Xu’s life returned to normal. Other than the numbers on her bankbook, nothing seemed to have changed.
After the Labor Day Holiday, the rain in S City gradually stopped.
It was not easy for the sun to rise. Li Xu took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the shop in the morning to return home and quickly dried the bedding and clothes outside.
When she returned to the shop, she saw the tricycle at home, which was currently parked shop entrancehe shop.
Li Lei and Li Yong were squatting by the side. No one knew what they were talking about. Li Yong’s face was full of smiles, but Li Lei’s expression was very calm.
Li Xu hurriedly went forward. “Why didn’t you give me a call?”
“It’s so close, why did I need to call? I reckon that the vegetables in the shop have sold out. So I take advantage of the good weather to hurry before it rains again.”
Li Yong and Li Lei got up from the ground and followed Li Xu into the house.
Li Xu found some cups and poured water for the two of them.
“What did you talk about just now? Why are you so happy?” Li Xu asked casually.
After Li Yong finished drinking, he handed the cup to Li Lei and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
It had been more than a month, and the scar on his face was almost gone.
“Isn’t today the big gathering of Qili Village? I went to the gathering to buy some things and happened to see someone getting married on the way. Guess who it is?” Li Yong kept her guessing.
Was she getting married? Li Xu didn’t take it seriously. She cleared out the empty s.p.a.ce next to her so that she could put the vegetables in later.
“Who is it? Are they from our village? It can’t be Da Hua, right?” Li Xu asked casually.
Li Lei couldn’t be bothered to listen to his gossip. He put down the cup and went outside to move the vegetables.
Li Yong gave a mysterious smile. “I know you wouldn’t be able to guess it. It’s Liang Yufang!”
Hearing this name, Li really stunned for a moment.
It had been half a year since Liang Yufang committed a crime the last time.
She sighed and said, “This past half a year, there has been no news of her. Who did she marry? Was it Xiao Liu or Xiao w.a.n.g or Xiao Zhang?”
It had been so long that she had forgotten the names of the two men.
She only remembered that one wore gla.s.ses and the other was a little chubby.
When Li Yong heard this, he sneered and said, “She wants to be a demon, but her father won’t let her!”
Seeing that Li Lei was moving the vegetables by himself, he rolled up his sleeves and did not delay his work while talking.
“After her father experienced that incident, he also hardened his heart. I heard that he seemed to have changed into a completely different pHe stayed at home foron. For the past halfat home and did not go anywhere. Whenever Liang Yufang, her mother and his son acted unruly, he would pick up a stick and beat them up. Therefore, Liang Yufang also got married obediently. Liang Yuqiang does not dare to act arrogantly at home anymore.”
Li Xu asked curiously, “How did you know?”
Li Yong immediately said, “I heard from others. Our villages are so close to each other. What news can’t reach us?”
In addition, their family and Liang Yufang’s family had such a beef.. Which family didn’t know about it? If there was any news, why won’t they hurry up and tell their family members about it? It would be a good joke!
