What a man says is like water that has been spilled, and it is impossible to take it back.

After nightfall that day, Fan Qiuming had dinner with his sister and talked about the things of the day, when he heard about the invitation to go north with Chu Feng and the others, and he couldn't help but turn blue for a while.

"Am I saying something wrong?"

Fan Qiubai's mind was delicate and sensitive, and when he looked at his brother's face, he blamed himself a little, and gently put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"The word 'wrong' is too heavy, but it's not enough." Fan Qiuming smiled a little stiffly, hesitating to choose the words, "It stands to reason that sister, your age is actually not too young, and the matter of men and women is ...... I also understand that you don't actually have this mind, but you should also know that some people, listening to the wind is rain, even when there is no wind, they can depict that rain vividly. You and that Chu Langjun, after all, are both of this age, although it won't cause much of a big incident, but if someone chews the root of their tongue, I'm afraid that my sister will feel uncomfortable if you listen to it. ”

Fan Qiuming deliberately avoided those heavy words, but even when he arrived so gently, he found that his sister's face immediately turned pale.

His heart suddenly tightened, and Fan Qiuming hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, being a brother is just a rainy day, not that someone is talking nonsense like this now." Sister, you don't have to worry, don't say that no one in our family dares to gossip about the master's family at will, even if there are one or two, I must make them look good! Whoever dares to talk nonsense, the family law is serving! ”

When Fan Qiubai heard this, his autumn-like pupils looked at him, and he smiled weakly, but his face was still pale.

Fan Qiuming was a little at a loss, this shrewd and invincible figure in the business field always felt helpless about what happened to his sister. He couldn't help but wonder if his unwarranted assumption had hurt his sister's heart? If you talk nonsense like this, will your sister think that she doesn't trust her?

How did he know that the change in Fan Qiubai's complexion was not just because of these meaningless speculations, but more because her mind was broken by such a reminding word.

My heart was almost beating out of my throat, and my hands were cold, almost trembling slightly.

This is the tension that Fan Qiubai has never felt, but now, it has really happened to her.

"Sister, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it too seriously." Fan Qiuming blamed himself in his heart, got up and wandered, "Alas! It's all my fault! It's okay to talk about all this gossip for what! I must have been carried away by the continuous rain in the past few days, and I was in chaos! ”

"It's okay, in fact, the third brother doesn't have to blame himself."

Fan Qiubai steadied his heart and said with a forced smile, "I also know this truth, but I haven't had time to think about it before, and now that I am awakened by my brother, in fact, it is better than being preached by other people." ”

"This ...... Maybe it's just that you're thinking too much about your brother, your dealings with that Chu Langjun are also seen in your brother's eyes, and it really can't be said to be arrogant, you ...... Don't worry too much about it. Fan Qiuming saw that his sister's complexion softened slightly, and his heart gradually settled down.

"Hmm." Fan Qiubai lowered his head, his cheeks flushed slightly, "Got it." ”

This younger sister of her own, who has been sensible since she was a child, is distressing, Fan Qiuming saw this at this time, how dare he say anything more, and hurriedly smiled: "Actually, my sister's hand is also an indispensable thing." Forget about Chu Feng, he is just a handsome and slightly talented young man, this kind of character may still have some face in Hangzhou City, but if it is put in Bianliang City, it is really a stone that can put down three, it is really nothing. However, if we go north and can invite people like Mr. Lu and Mr. Cheng Yuan to accompany us, many things will be different......

Fan Qiuming thought of this in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart, from the previous resistance, to a faint desire to promote this matter.

That Chu Feng was really a too inconsequential existence, how many pairs of eyes were staring at him on the boat, and he didn't dare to do anything. Besides, as long as he has a little bit of self-knowledge, he should also understand that he is not worthy of my Fan family. It's just relying on **** luck to worship two teachers plainly. But after all, he is a person with mediocre qualifications, even if he is led by a famous teacher, he may not be able to learn to become a high apprentice......

Fan Qiuming's attitude towards Chu Feng...... From the moment Cheng Yuan accepted Chu Feng as an apprentice, it was settled.

Fan Qiuming's age is not too old, only twenty-two or three, although he has been mixed up in the business for a few years, and he has become more and more prominent with the demeanor and shrewdness of a Confucian businessman, but in his heart, after all, he cannot completely detach himself from the temperament of a teenager.

The envy of Chu Feng was a pea buried deep in his heart, just wrapped in a thick layer of quilt, pretending not to exist. But he actually knew in his heart that the pea had already taken root under the bedding, spreading vines that could not be ignored. (Peas are vine-growing plants, aren't they?) Let's take it ^-^)

He constantly wanted to despise Chu Feng's existence, but also despised Chu Feng's talent, and even, despised his sister's sense of Chu Feng.

Fan Qiuming even imagined very naturally that he didn't look down on Chu Feng like this, and his sister was naturally the same. After all, in his memory, his sister didn't really grow up, and it seemed that she was still the one who followed her buttocks, and the "third brother and third brother" called her little heel with a soft and glutinous voice, but for some reason, time passed, and she had become the big girl she is now.

It is impossible to have no emotion in your heart. It's just that Fan Qiuming almost subconsciously resisted things like his sister's nostalgia and lovesickness. My sister has such a transparent and clear mind like Hetian jade, how can she have such thoughts? That's a ridiculous thought.

Of course he didn't know that Fan Qiubai had not only begun to move, but this thought was like a catkins blowing all over the world in spring, and he couldn't get rid of it anymore.

……

……

"This rain is falling day and night, every year, just to be honest...... This year, it seems that there are more victims. ”

Walking on the street with an umbrella, Liu Zhengqing looked at the refugees sheltering from the rain under the eaves of the middle house of the West Market, and his mood began to become hazy.

"The eastern and western cities are better, and the government has put rice in the south of the Yuhang Gate Inner Diagonal Bridge in the east of the city for disaster relief, and that is where the real disaster victims gather."

Liu Zhengqing said, sighing.

"I heard that the porridge in the government is getting thinner and thinner, and there is not much rice in a bowl. Wealthy businessmen seem to have She porridge? ”

Listening to Chu Feng's question, Liu Zhengqing nodded: "Only by relying on the government alone can we help a few people." How many victims are on the outskirts of the city, and they are not allowed to enter. This is also something that can't be helped, how much rice is in Hangzhou City, this is fixed. If the victims are not controlled here, all the victims will rush to Hangzhou after hearing the news. When the time comes, don't talk about She porridge, I'm afraid that the rice shop will be snatched up. If the control is stricter, the victims will be dispersed as much as possible, and the pressure on the entire Jiangdong prefectures and counties will be eased and evenly divided...... If there are really some capable disaster victims, looking at the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many people who go to the north and west to seek refuge with relatives and friends. Ay! There's no way around it. It may be ruthless to say it, but if you really think about it, people are like this, and if you are not forced to a certain extent, you will not consider other ways out. ”

When Chu Feng heard these words, he always felt a slight sour in his heart, what was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that with today's ability to disseminate information and help the victims, such a method may really be the best choice.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. This is a problem that is still a problem even after a thousand years.

Thousands of years have taken human beings to develop a system to solve this problem, let alone the people of today.

In the case of disaster relief in the future, it will be better or less. After all, the technology has arrived there, and the delivery of aid supplies, the improvement of communication facilities, and the improvement of information technology have solved a lot of technical problems for disaster relief after a thousand years.

But there are still many problems. For example, in the Syrian refugee crisis near the Mediterranean, so many developed countries in the West dare not really open their doors. Today's measures to close the city gates and restrict the entry of disaster victims into the city are not much different from the choices of Western countries in later generations.

When a disaster occurs in the future, it is a situation in which one side is in trouble and all sides provide support. However, in today's information blockage and scarce transportation channels, there is really not much that the government can do.

Flood discharge, evacuation of victims, allocation of grain funds, and relief of porridge...... This series of methods is not efficient, but it is only the best means that can be achieved in this era. After a catastrophe, it is easy to have a plague, and there are too many things to consider and take care of in the allocation and distribution of herbal medicines, the evacuation and settlement of disaster victims. These things, if you are not really in such an event, many things, you can't imagine.

Chu Feng has seen such things as disasters in books, film and television works, and news. But that's all far away, no matter how shocking, and what you have experienced is always incomparable.

Of course, now he doesn't feel the desolation of being homeless and hungry, but he has seen that as a normal human being, it is impossible for the soul not to be shocked, but more importantly, it is a kind of powerlessness and helplessness lingering in his heart.

This feeling is not only for himself, but also from Liu Zhengqing's body, Chu Feng can also feel it.

"In any case, Hangzhou City is still relatively rich, so there are always some food hoards in the hands of rich merchants, and there are a lot of things about She porridge, so it is regarded as doing some good deeds and accumulating a little yin virtue." Liu Zhengqing sighed softly, "The Fan family's calligraphy and painting shop also opened a porridge field at the back door, I went to take a look a few days ago, and there were more than 100 people queuing up to receive porridge. It's just that the order is not easy to manage, and many small businesses are also powerless. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Feng was a little puzzled.

Liu Zhengqing smiled bitterly: "Think about it, those are all people who haven't eaten a full meal for a month, who doesn't want to eat for nothing." It's just that there are a lot of people, and generally speaking, one person is only given a bowl of porridge. But there are always some people who want to take advantage of loopholes, line up a few more times, and even directly snatch away the rice grain that is not in the pot next to them...... It's all happened in the city. If there weren't a few people on hand to take care of it, this good thing would definitely not have been possible. In any case, the Fan family is also well-staffed. Business is shallow this season, and gathering people to do some good deeds can be regarded as being able to take care of the scene. But in terms of the entire eastern and western cities, there are indeed not many people who can have the ability of the Fan family......"

Chu Feng listened and somewhat understood.

Human nature is always selfish, especially in this year of famine, there will naturally be too many dark temperaments to be excavated. There is no way to eradicate this, and you should always find a way.

"Some people are powerless, and some people are powerless...... Is there a way to combine these two people a little? Chu Feng thought about it.
