Chapter 381: Second Child
This catastrophe came so suddenly that people were not alert or prepared, and the damage caused was huge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the place where the levee burst was not in Honghe County, Honghe County was located downstream and on low ground, and the flood water poured down from the upper reaches of the county, washing away most of the fertile land and dispersing many of the early rice that had not yet been harvested into the granary, making the disaster worse in Honghe County than in some parts of the upper reaches of the Red River.
What's more, landslides triggered by the catastrophic floods led to subsequent disasters such as road collapses and fractures, and houses were buried, causing greater casualties and property losses.
This huge catastrophe fell in an instant, and it was really beyond the power of human beings to resist.
Among them, because Honghe County is located in a valley and has low-lying terrain, it has become one of the most severely affected areas in Honghe County.
Although the county town is protected by strong city walls, and there are flood ditches to dredge floodwaters, almost no houses are destroyed in the city, and there are very few casualties, but it is not a way to stay in the city all the time, at least food is very problematic.
Rich families naturally have enough grain to support a year and a half or longer, and there is no problem with the new grain coming up next year, but most of the people in the city are still civilians, and most of the families only have overnight grain storage.
For the people, when it becomes a problem to survive without enough food and clothing, who cares about etiquette, righteousness and shame, or even human ethics.
The flood is not terrible, but what is terrible is the social turmoil caused by the shortage of materials and other problems after the flood.
Peng Jin told Liu Shi all his worries and told him to be more careful, and be careful of the turmoil in people's hearts after the disaster, the chaos and unrest of society, and the difficulty of controlling.
"You don't have to worry about the outside, taking care of yourself and Nuan Nuan is the most important thing!" Liu Shi comforted Peng Jin and said, "You two are all fine, so that I have no worries and can concentrate on disaster relief, this is the greatest encouragement and support for me!" ”
Peng Jin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just replied softly: "Okay!" ”
After settling Peng Jin and Nuan Nuan, Liu Shi immediately took his men and horses and went to the front line of disaster relief to inspect the disaster situation and direct the disaster relief work.
Peng Jin took Nuan Nuan's little hand and watched Liu Zhi's back disappear at the door in a hurry, but finally couldn't bear to tell him that this time she had to take care of not only herself and Nuan Nuan, but also a small one in her stomach.
A few days ago, Peng Jin's little day didn't come to report on time, and she guessed that she might be pregnant, because after Nuan Nuan turned two years old, she and Liu Zhi were ready to have another child, so every time they were happy and loved, they no longer took contraceptive measures, and her little day has always been punctual, this time it was delayed for so long, I am afraid that there will be.
Peng Jin was unsure before, and he didn't dare to tell Liu Shi, for fear of making him happy, so he could only endure patiently, calculate the time, and prepare to tell Liu Shi after the diagnosis.
Until yesterday, Bai Zhong came to diagnose Nuan Nuan's pulse, and Peng Jin asked him to check his pulse by the way, and through Bai Zhong's pulse, it was determined that she was indeed pregnant.
Bai Zhong also congratulated her at that time.
But in order to surprise Liu Shi, Peng Jin specially instructed Bai Zhong to keep it secret, and was ready to find another suitable time to tell Liu Shi.
Bai Zhong is also a person who has been married, and he knows these little surprises and little fun tricks between husband and wife, so he nodded with a smile, and when Liu Zhi asked about Nuan Nuan's body, he didn't mention that Peng Jin asked him to diagnose his pulse, and diagnosed the joy of Peng Jin being pregnant again.
Who knows, before Peng Jin found a suitable opportunity to surprise Liu Shi, such a natural disaster occurred.
Thinking of this, Peng Jin lowered his head and stroked his lower abdomen, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Child, if you are a blessed person, please bless this disaster and pass it smoothly." ”
Nuan Nuan didn't know what was going on outside, she still looked happy, seeing Peng Jin touching her own lower abdomen, she also reached out and touched it gently, and when Peng Jin noticed and looked at her, she also looked up at Peng Jin and grinned, a little pride after the plan succeeded and the embarrassment when she was caught doing something bad.
A little child, with such a complicated expression on his face, life is amazing!
Peng Jin squatted down, touched Nuan Nuan's little face, and said with a smile: "Nuan Nuan is also a blessing, this time, I will bless my father to pass this difficult time!" ”
Nuan Nuan was born and dawned, Liu Zhi was born and won the champion again, everyone said that she was adhering to great luck and great blessings, although Peng Jin was not superstitious, but this time she couldn't help but pray that these words were true.
Nuan Nuan didn't know what Peng Jin meant, but she heard the word "daddy" accurately, and hurriedly raised her head and shouted: "Daddy, daddy!" ”
At this time, Liu Shi was walking in the alleys and fields of the village, and saw people who had lost their homes crying bitterly, in a daze or even despair at their homes after the flood, and his heart was extremely sad for a while.
"The disaster has already been reported to the state government, and I think it should arrive this afternoon at the latest, I don't know how long it will take for this disaster relief money to be allocated, and how much it will be allocated." Liu Zhi sighed abruptly.
Zhang Minghua on the side hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "Don't worry, adults. In addition to Honghe County, there are other counties around Honghe, although the prefect Wang has a gap with you, but he will never take revenge on such major matters of the national economy and people's livelihood, and deliberately oppose you. ”
Liu Shi nodded and smiled bitterly: "Now that the matter is over, I can only pray that the prefect of the Wang Mansion is not a mediocre official who seeks personal interests and does not care about the life and death of the people!" ”
However, what kind of person Wang Dingguo is, although they don't have much contact with him and don't know him thoroughly, they all understand that he can never be an honest person who is responsible for the people.
The reason why Zhang Minghua said this was just a word of comfort in desperation.
"My lord, perhaps, we can go to Mr. Zhao for help again?" Zhang Minghua thought about it and suggested out loud.
Liu Shi shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Zhao has more money at this time, what use can he have?" Now what we lack is supplies, and what we are most afraid of is that the market is priceless! Besides, Mr. Zhao has already spent a lot of money on building the road, plus the deposit for the purchase of mountain goods, I am afraid that his savings will not be much left. Even if there are some, they are just a drop in the bucket, and they can't be of great use or solve the fundamental problem. ”
