The land of China is 8,000 miles long, the north and the south are different, the east and west are different, the seasonal monsoon climate, there are always some disasters in some places, floods, droughts and locusts.

When the power of the state was most concentrated, for example, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were also big hearts among the emperors of the Manchu Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor, known as the perfect old man, who was helpless against all kinds of disasters in various parts of the country.

If the control is weak, Emperor Daoguang was frightened by the various disasters in the country, and even came up with a frugal way to patch the dragon robe or eat baked cakes at night.

This is still the time when the central government is unified and centralized, and when it comes to the Republic of China, the warlords are divided, the regimes are alternated, and after natural disasters occur, the lives of the small people are even more miserable.

Shandong's climate is dry from spring, and in midsummer, the sky is a gray-blue color, as if the water in the blue sky has been squeezed dry.

Shanghai is a different story, and after a rainstorm, the sky is gray-blue, which is due to the accumulation of water into clouds. The black and gray clouds are layered on top of each other, and when they collide inadvertently, lightning and thunder will occur.

The first time the rainstorm in Shanghai took off was around nine o'clock in the morning, and although the citizens were shocked, they quickly adapted to it. It's just that there are some low-lying areas in the surrounding area, and the flood water has not had time to drain away. Losing their homes and food, their families moved to the city center to visit relatives and friends, or begged on the streets.

Shanghai is a gathering place for the wealthy people of the whole country, and there are many gentry and celebrities who are willing to give, and a little disaster can still be supported. Soon, more than 4,000 pieces of clothing and bedding were organized to provide relief to the victims.

Unexpectedly, the torrential rain passed, but it couldn't survive the haze for days, and the place where the victims gathered, because the clothes were a little damp, and they did not have iron basins and charcoal. I directly collected and donated some dry firewood and wanted to dry my clothes. It also caused fires, burning down seven or eight streets one after another, and affecting 20,000 people.

The area where refugees gather is densely populated. If the two adjacent families live on the second floor, they can borrow some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from each other by opening the windows.

"Declaration" 10th edition of "Shanghai Fire and Water Disaster Begging". A strange disaster of fire after water. The fire after the flood sounded unscientifically unscientific, but it was examined in detail. The cover is because the buildings in this area are all wooden, and the top layer is waterproof and the latest asphalt method in Europe and the United States has been introduced, so it is very easy to ignite.

Youth Daily said that the fire. It wasn't a natural disaster, someone must have set it on fire. The initial fire broke out at the Swire & Co. and the German Consular Office, but fortunately the bank manager and other clerks woke up in the middle of the night to preserve the book deeds. If we investigate in detail, we will definitely be able to find out the vicious.

There are all kinds of news in the newspapers. However, in any case, since it has become a fact, it is necessary to provide disaster relief. Although the Zhang Mansion has just moved in. However, the houses are magnificent, and the servants are in groups. There are also various door-to-door charity visits to ask for donations.

Mrs. Zhang can make the decision about these things herself, and every wave of people who come, she does not investigate them in detail, and always donates some rice, clothes and silver dollars.

The rain in the sky is still there, this kind of rainy day can't stop the fifth aunt of the Huang family, the fifth aunt sat in the living room of the Zhang family under the banner of asking the old lady of the Zhang family, and sat for half a day.

The fundraiser came to the door, and Aunt Huang Wu sighed in her mouth:

"So Allah said, Shanghai rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. Not to mention anything else, I can't afford to raise donations again and again. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled, she was always much stronger than Shandong, and the fundraising in Shandong was all brought to the door with guns and guns. Huang Wu's aunt's family is really struggling to socialize, but those fundraisers also said that all the gentry who have raised money can go to the neighborhood archway to take pictures collectively to commemorate it. Aunt Huang Wu was so thick-skinned that she ran to take pictures with others in the name of Zhang Mansion's fundraising.

When I came back, I complained:

"It's crazy to wash a picture and ask for a silver dollar."

The young lady in the fourth room of the Huang family was also spending time in the living room of the Zhang Mansion, so she said to her:

"If it's a group photo with a lot of people, the length will be very large, and it will cost this price! The fifth aunt is too expensive, so don't wash it. ”

Aunt Huang Wu laughed wryly:

"Allah, this cheongsam, is here to greet the old lady, and I only put it on today, and the effect should be good when I take a photo, so I'll wash one."

Miss Huang laughs:

"It's only six cents for a single photo, and the fifth aunt still suffers."

Aunt Huang Wu smiled and said nothing, she also had a calculation, taking this photo back and placing it at home can be regarded as the merit of fundraising.

This year, there has been a new development in the field of chemistry, the time and potion for developing photos have been greatly improved, and the use of photos in newspapers has increased.

Some apartment girls' school books and even photos of celebrities have been published in newspapers, and when it comes to the effect of beauty photos, magazine covers are better, and many girls have begun to collect celebrity photos.

Little Peaches is also in the limelight, photos are often published, and even collected by Miss Huang, Miss Huang sighed:

"The photos are so much better than my own!"

I think they are in the magazine themselves, and the effect should be greatly refreshing. But according to the current situation of the Huang family, the ladies will still not be allowed to be female stars.

In fact, to be a star, the IQ requirements are also very high, and in the rainy weather, the city has become a country, and Xiao Taozi also invested in the purchase of a part of the film to record the flood scene. In case it can be used in future movies, even if it is a ready-made set background.

The old lady of the Zhang family sat in the Zhang Mansion and began to transfer troops from Shandong to enrich every department of Ping An Group. Zhang Meixi is also a little worried that Ping'an County in Shandong Province will not be able to cope with it.

Mrs. Zhang smiled:

"Ping'an County is just a small place, and it is enough to have the name of Mr. Shandong."

The same is the people, the requirements of the victims in Ping'an County are much lower than those in Shanghai, and a dollar of rice and grain can almost save a life.

In Shandong in the year of the disaster, a three-year-old boy, or a thirteen-year-old girl, sometimes only asks for three yuan. The newspaper said that the cheapest, a full moon child, only five copper plates, the seller's parents' mind, is to let the child live, but think about it very scary.

Shanghai is different, the monthly salary of the maids has to be at least three yuan, and when they work, there will be sporadic other looting income.

The uncle of the Zhang family is very experienced in disaster relief. I conspired with the old lady at home for a few days, and I also began to officially work in Ping An Group, mainly to settle accounts and check accounts.

For this flood and fire disaster, Zhang Meixi allocated 20,000 yuan for drug relief, mainly to prevent fever and cold caused by drenching, and diarrhea caused by unclean diet.

The medicine for one dollar per capita is basically in the hand, which is a heavy packet.
