The cold wind is rustling, and the world is shaking.
Ouyang Kang was wearing a thick cloak and stood in front of the food shop. He was busy these days, and he had no time to take care of his body. His face was pale and haggard, and his cheeks were sunken a lot, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He just looked at the dense crowd and then the lead-gray sky, and his eyes were filled with deeper worries.
It's going to snow.
It's going to snow again.
What should these victims do if there is heavy snow?
Whether the food stored in their family is donated by the people, sent by friends in a dark way, or purchased it from all over the place, they are almost used up now. I don’t even know if I can survive today. So what should they do tomorrow?
"You said, are we stupid?"
At some point, Nianfu walked to his side, with a wry smile on his lips, and asked softly, "I know I can't fight, but I still have to fight over my own abilities. It's good now, the food is gone, but when will Yun Kaiyueming wait?"
Ouyang Kang turned his head to look at her, and with the cover of his cloak, he quietly held her hand, "Mr. said, most people in this world want to be smart people, and few people are willing to be fools, so it is also a kind of intelligence to be fools at the right time."
Touching his warm palm, the strong mask on Nianfu's face was softened and taken off, with unconcealed fatigue, "But this kind of intelligence is really too tired."
Ouyang Kang said quietly, "I am also tired. I am afraid that if the porridge is gone, what should these victims do? Will we eat and peel us alive?"
Nianfu was also very scared, but after Ouyang Kang said this, she was no longer afraid, "It doesn't matter, I will protect you at that time. At worst, we can hide in the countryside and make a reason when the teacher comes back."
Ouyang Kang looked at her and nodded seriously, "Then I'm all up to you."
Nianfu finally laughed, took a deep breath, and suddenly became energetic again, "My mother said, it's going to rain, and I want to get married, it's useless for you to be afraid! Why not be energetic and fight, anyway, there are tall people who are holding us up when the sky falls, and we won't just kill us."
Ouyang Kanglei hesitated and nodded seriously, "What your mother said really makes sense."
"Of course!" Nian Fu raised his big smile, but suddenly his eyes were slightly red, and there was a sense of sorrow in his smile, "I miss my mother."
The child who has suffered grievances always misses his mother especially. Nianfu hopes to throw himself into Hui Niang's arms and cry bitterly. He tells all the grievances in his heart?
But Ouyang Kang pinched her hand, "If you think so hard, you can also treat me as your mother."
Go to you! Nianfu burst into tears and laughed. He was about to shake off his hand to work, but he saw an uninvited guest coming.
It was Lu Ying, who was dressed in a palace dress and brought the palace servants with a domineering momentum, with a lofty style.
Nianfu clenched his fists unconsciously. Is this a joke?
really.
But Lu Ying couldn't laugh. After a few days, Nianfu was much haggard, his temples were messy, and his face seemed to be whispered. Especially his eyes were deeply sunken and dark, making his eyes look particularly big, with a lot of bloodshot inside.
But such a girl won Ouyang Kang's wholehearted attention. Just now when they were talking, Lu Ying had already arrived. She saw them holding hands secretly, and the gentleness and tolerance in Ouyang Kang's eyes. The country is so free and so warm.
However, Nianfu was clearly not good-looking at all. Her clothes were not good-looking and her face was not good-looking. It can even be said that she still looked a bit ugly today. Why, Ouyang Kang still looked at her like that? What's the good thing about her?
Nianfu strode forward and grinned, "I wonder what the price is there for a girl to come?"
Since you are afraid that it is useless, go forward and fight! The war between women, let the man walk away.
Lu Ying looked at the smile on Nian Fu's face and slowly walked forward, "I admire you a little. I can still laugh at this situation."
Nianfu nodded bluntly, "Actually, you should admire me more. I have many advantages. But since I have come, I can't come in vain. I'll make some contributions to the victims."
She turned her head and looked at the nearby people and smiled, and said loudly, "The lady from Lu Shanggong's family is here to donate food to everyone, please applaud."
"Okay, thank you." The group of victims who were close to each other slapped them a few times.
Lu Ying seemed not surprised, and she pulled out a sarcastic smile, waved her hand and asked the servant to bring the food in the car over, smiling at the people with a gentle smile, "I came here this time to deliver food."
Then he went up and said in the voice that Nianfu could hear, "Don't worry, these foods are all fine. If there is any problem, they are all prepared by the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion."
Nianfu glanced at her and smiled, "So, do I want to thank you?"
"It's not a question of thanking you. Anyway, I don't want to hear you thank you, but I want to see how you will collapse." She looked up at the sky, "Do you know? The official of the Imperial Heaven Supervision just said that the sky will change again tonight. When it snows heavily, I don't know how many people your broken garden can hold."
Nianfu's face sank, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting." Lu Ying smiled a little coldly, "I just came to tell you that since you gave me so well, the Queen Mother has decided to recruit your broken garden and resettle the victims. This is a great honor, so hurry up and get ready to thank you."
But how could the Pool Garden accommodate the victims? Although the place is big enough, since Wu Mian and Su Cheng moved in, most of the rooms that can be accommodated have been filled with people. The most important thing is that there is no firewood. After so many days of porridge, not only did it consume the food in the Pool Garden, but it was almost used up. Even Nianfu couldn't afford a single stove at night, so he could only squeeze with the girls. How did she entertain the people?
But Lu Ying didn't care, but just showed a sarcastic smile at her and left.
After returning in the evening, the first snowflake finally fell silently from the lead-gray sky, and the Queen Mother's imperial decree was also passed down at the same time.
Due to the limited location of refugees, some large temples and temples in the city are required to be open unconditionally for disaster victims to live in. Among them, they also include the broken garden of Nianfu family.
Ouyang Zhuang dragged two trucks of charcoal over sweating profusely, "Brother, you can use it first, and I will find a way to find the rest."
He was in the Ministry of Works and was in charge of the construction of refugee stations. As for disaster relief, they were not under their control. But he was not aware of some things. All the places assigned to refugee stations were subject to the size of the local area, and they received charcoal and fire bedding subsidies from the government, with only the broken garden and nothing. Five thousand old, weak, women and children were also divided into.
There are some things in the officialdom that cannot be said or found out. All Ouyang Zhuang can do is to do his best to help his elder brother. A few days ago, Ouyang Kang borrowed grain everywhere, but he didn't lend it back home. Ouyang Zhuang felt a little sad.
It’s not that Ouyang Kang’s fault, because he also knows that even if the elder brother goes back and opens this mouth, he will definitely be rejected. Since it snowed heavily that day, Ouyang Jin has a fight with Tan and forced to ask for the key to the food and charcoal fire at home. He takes care of it himself. Even the cost of the family must be passed through him, let alone for others?
These two cars of charcoal fire were bought by Ouyang Zhuang at an internal price from an acquaintance in the Ministry of Industry. It can solve the urgent problem for a while. But how long can it take?
Ouyang Kang was almost crazy and a blister suddenly appeared on his mouth.
Five thousand people, these are not five thousand chickens. Just hurry up in one place. How can they tolerate so many people need to eat, drink, defecate, and how can they tolerate the broken garden?
"Don't panic, don't panic. Let's try to move and think of a solution." Du Chuan and Wu Mian, who was leaning on crutches, came out to help.
He directed his servants to first place some pregnant women, milk dolls and the elderly who needed the most, and then built a simple greenhouse through the broken walls and ruins in the broken garden.
The whole piece of bamboo that I wanted to keep next year's bamboo shoots were cut off, and all the newly hung curtains on the windows were removed, but this was not enough, far from enough.
Many kind-hearted victims wanted to leave quietly when they saw that the broken garden had no place to accommodate them, so they wanted to leave quietly to save them from causing trouble, but Nianfu was left behind.
"It's okay, everyone can squeeze in, at least we'll talk about it after tonight."
It was still snowing outside. If these people left, where could they stay?
That night, almost no one could sleep in the broken garden. He was hungry and cold.
The last little bit of food has been consumed in the daytime porridge. Although Wu Mian still has some food stored there in the broken garden, everyone is hungry. Who is so embarrassed to cook something?
The young girl from Wu's family, Qingjie, had never suffered this hardship. She was so hungry that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She cried quietly and clamored to have a meal.
Wu's heart was as if he was shattered. Although he knew it was inappropriate, he still discussed with Wu Mian, "Master, if this happens again... I'm afraid we can't live here again?" Anyway, his family still has some food, so he can move out and live by himself, right?
But Wu Mian said solemnly, "It is not easy to share wealth and prosperity, but it is even more difficult to share hardships. If you want to leave, I will not stay, and you can even take away everything in this family. I will not leave you, you can still maintain my identity as Mrs. Wu Mian, but that is just fulfilling the obligations of the same clan. It is impossible for you to come back and live together. I know Qing'er is hungry, but she is full in the morning and at noon, right? Although she has a meal at night, she has eaten snacks, right? But the children outside are younger than her.
Yes, how many days have I not had a full meal? And Fu Yatou and Akang, how much food did they spend for this disaster relief? Now you let me not be able to withstand this hunger for her, so I abandoned my friends and the minimum morality of being a human being. Can I do it? Although I, Wu, is not your husband or the biological father of these three children, you have to follow my Wu Mian's rules for a day. If you can't do it, it's really meaningless to force me to stay."
Wu couldn't, and tears flowed.
Although Qing Jie'er couldn't understand Wu Mian's words very well, she was frightened by his serious look and cried and begged, "Dad, I don't want to eat anymore, don't be angry!"
Wu Mian closed his eyes and sighed, his face softened, and he waved his hand to hold her in his arms, "What a Qing'er, Dad, it's not your fault. Come on, Dad tell you a story. Listen to the story, you should go to bed quickly, and you won't be hungry if you fall asleep."
OK. Qing'er obediently wiped away the tears and went to his arms to listen to the story.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Wu Mian took out all the last bit of surplus food at home and handed it to Nianfu, "Take it to make porridge."
But there are more than 5,000 people, and there are so many people in Taipei City. How can such a little food be enough?
"Sister, Master, come and see where are you guys?"
When the children who were the first to work at the concierge ran back and pulled Nianfu and Ouyang Kang out, they took a breath at the same time. At the gate of the broken garden, the snow had been cleaned up all night, and not only did they place the entire wall of grain and charcoal fire against the wall. Judging from the amount, it was at least tens of thousands of kilograms!
Who is this? Who did it?
All the victims cheered. With this food and charcoal, they can take more days!
Nianfu was very excited, but there was a bit of contemplation in his excitement. From the beginning of serving porridge, or from the beginning of heavy snow, she always felt that someone was secretly helping her, but who was it? Who would have such a big deal?
Nianfu didn't know, but now she couldn't let her think about it. She had to hurry up to bring the grain to Taipei City and let the people there drink a bowl of hot porridge.
