3. Hate to marry

In half a day, Jiangxia's affairs have been heard in Yizhou City. At first, the people were a little suspicious when they heard the beggars walking the streets and singing the lotus flowers, and then the notices posted by the government completely confirmed it.

"Jiangxia City is really locked down by the epidemic?"

"My cousin is helping the kitchen at the prefect's house, and I heard from the people in the house that the prefect's wife took out all the dowry to help the victims, so is there any fake?"

"How are the people living there?"

In front of the palace, many people gathered and discussed the notices posted on the walls.

Yizhou is the country of abundance, one is rich in natural resources, the other is very few natural disasters, the people here are raised by thousands of miles of fertile fields to be simple and kind, it is this abundance in the bones, so that they can give birth to compassion, although Jiangxia is thousands of miles away, everyone is also worried about it.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, an old man with white hair, dressed in a long robe, and an elegant temperament walked out of the crowd, stood on the high platform in front of the mansion, arched his hand to everyone, and said, "Folks, now I suddenly heard that the Jingchu epidemic, tens of thousands of people are infected, Jiangxia is locked in the city, the people have no medicine and no food, and they are all panicking. ”

The old man took out a coarse cloth money bag from his arms, presented it to the official in front of the government with both hands, and then turned to face everyone and bowed, "In this bag is the old man's half-life savings, just to do his best for the people of Jiangxia, may all people work together to eliminate the epidemic and eliminate the disease, and may I be the kingdom of heaven and the peace of the country." ”

Someone in the crowd recognized the old man as the master of the city middle school--- Zhang Juren. Zhang Juren was raised as a young man, but he had no intention of pursuing a career, and stayed in the government school to teach and educate people for more than 30 years, and he was serious and rigid, and many children in the city were enlightened under his ring ruler, and his reputation in the city was quite high.

Seeing that he took the lead in donating, everyone followed suit, and the official had never seen such a battle, so he hurriedly pacified the people, and went to the backyard to report to Wang Anpeng.

After hearing this, Wang Anpeng called his master and instructed them to register every penny of the people's donations, post notices every day to publicize the specific payment direction, sort out and summarize them, and hand them over to Renkun Hall for unified allocation.

At first, the master was worried that this might be inappropriate, so he suggested that it would be better for the government to come forward directly to buy it, Wang Anpeng shook his head.

"There is such a big epidemic in Jiangxia, but now it is hidden from the face, and there must be someone to cover it up. Before receiving the order of the imperial court, it will be troublesome to privately provide disaster relief in the name of the government. Wang Anpeng walked out of the backyard, and saw from a distance that the front of the government was crowded, bustling and arguing with people who wanted to raise donations.

Turning around, he firmly instructed the master, "You can do as I say, I can trust Dr. Lin." You can privately inform the people that the discovery of the epidemic this time is due to the doctors of Renkuntang, and Dr. Lin will also go to Jiangxia in person. ”

The master promised and hurriedly walked to the front of the hospital.

"Wait!" Wang Anpeng stopped him, "I must ensure that all donations are used for disaster relief materials, and there is a lot of money!"

The errand who came in to report before was Huang Anning's fiancé, named Zhang Dalei. He reached out and took it twice in his arms, only a few copper plates, and then with a drooping face, he stretched out his hand again.

"Take my slip and ask the squires of the city. Wang Anpeng commanded.

Zhang Dalei led the order out and walked out of the yamen, he thought about it and went to the Huang family's candy shop first.

Huang Anning is arguing with her father on the shop at the moment, her face is red and her neck is thick, Huang Anning is a kind-hearted person, according to her temper, she will definitely donate a sum of money, not to mention that this time it is her handkerchief who is the main pillar to hand over to Lin Zhen, for the people of that city, but also for the good sisters to stand up, their family can not stay out of the matter. But Boss Huang is a picker, and he can't wait to break it and spend it, so he discussed with his daughter tremblingly at this time, "Why don't we donate a cart of sugar?"

"Phew, I said, why are you so stingy!" Huang Anning slapped the counter in anger, startling Zhu Tao and Dong'er. "What people lack is sugar, other people's lives are dying, and what they want is medicine and food. ”

When Zhang Dalei came in, he happened to bump into the scene of Huang Anning slapping the table and crossing his waist, he had seen his wife who had not passed through the door so delicate, not only did he feel rude, but he felt that it was very satisfying. He smiled innocently, and he didn't care about Huang Anning, who was angry when he broke him, was ashamed and angry at this time.

"An Ning, I came here to discuss something with you. ”

Boss Huang saw that someone was coming to relieve him, so he hurriedly pushed Huang Anning out, "You young people have something to talk about slowly, there is no shortage of manpower in the store." ”

Huang Anning turned around and glared at his father fiercely, and reluctantly followed Zhang Dalei out.

"Say, what's the matter?" Huang Anning blushed, after all, she was about to get married, and she was a little annoyed when her fiancé broke her fierce appearance.

"I, I want to ......" Zhang Dalei looked at the slightly reddened cheeks of the girl opposite, and was a little stunned, and he couldn't spit out the words in his mouth for a long time.

"If you have something to say, I'm going to work." Huang Anning was worried about donating money to Jiang Xia, and urged Zhang Dalei with some impatience.

"I think, I want to postpone our wedding a little!" Zhang Dalei gritted his teeth and spit out the words in his mouth.

"What!" Huang Anning was shocked, Zhang Dalei treated her very well, was considerate, and from time to time he also gave some gadgets that girls liked, although it was not worth a few dollars, but it also showed that he took her to heart. Seeing that he was going to get married next month, he suddenly said that he would postpone it at this time, could it be because he was frightened to see that he was so pungent and wanted to regret his marriage.

Thinking of this, Huang Anning felt an earth-shaking grievance in his heart, his nose was sore, and his eyes turned red.

"Do you want to marry me? It's not that you see that, I'm just angry that my father is unwilling to donate money to Jiang Xia, so I slapped the table in a hurry, I ...... I'm not usually like this......" A string of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Zhang Dalei was frightened, and while hurriedly wiping his tears for Huang Anning, he explained incomprehensibly.

"No, why don't I want to marry you, I can't wait to marry you back now. ”

"Why is that?" Huang Anning raised his head, glared at him, and asked while crying.

"Oops" Zhang Dalei stomped his feet, "Today, many people come to the government to raise donations for Jiangxia. I also want to give a little bit of my heart. ”

"What does this have to do with postponing the marriage?" Huang Anning looked at his panicked appearance, knowing that he didn't want to marry him, so he put his mind at ease and put away his tears.

"The money I saved before was originally going to be a wedding, I thought, if I don't postpone the wedding, this money is what I owe you first, I have a strong body, I work hard to earn a year and a half, save enough money, and then marry you. ”

"Poof. Knowing that Zhang Dalei originally meant this, Huang Anning couldn't help laughing, looking at his panicked appearance, he had the idea of teasing. "What if you don't save enough, or if you don't save enough, I'll marry someone else?"

Hearing that his sweetheart was going to marry someone else, Zhang Dalei's face turned white in a hurry, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We have already decided to kiss and pass the ceremony, you are my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, how can you marry someone else!"

"Why not, it's a big deal to return the bride price to you. ”

Hearing that the bride price was going to be returned, Zhang Dalei was even more anxious, "No, no, I won't donate, I won't donate, let's not postpone our wedding, I'll marry you first." ”

Huang Anning hugged his stomach and couldn't get up with a smile, Zhang Dalei stood aside and said no donation, no donation.
