The young grandmother saw that Qiao Shengping was even more depressed, and stuffed an unshelled pine nut into his mouth: "I'm afraid you can't understand that you are really drilling the horns?" ”

Qiao Shengping came back to his senses: "No, it's just because I understand." He peeled the pine nuts again mechanically: "No wonder there are seven or eight fewer freighters on the river, the road to the north is sluggish, there are naturally fewer ships on the canal, and there are not fewer on the riverbank here." Looking at the long river in the sky, Qiao Shengping turned around and asked, "Yimei, do you know how many counties and towns in the north have been affected?"

"Not too detailed." The young grandmother came down from the tree, Qiao Shengping took advantage of the situation to help her, and the young grandmother stood firm on Qiao Shengping's arm, thinking: "Ta Kung Pao's April report "50 million disaster victims across the country are waiting for relief", mentioning Shandong, Henan, Chahar and Rehe, Suiyuan and Shanxi are the most affected. There is an old Xi'er who has a season's account on credit, half a month ago in person to circulate, want to be lenient for another season, Feng Department and the Jin army have been fighting since April, the rain still does not fall in the summer, and natural disasters and man-made disasters have forced people to have no way. From what he heard, Chahar had been in a severe drought for three consecutive years, and many deserts in Suiyuan were also short of water in normal years. In fact, the tea shops in Hebei have occasionally owed tea money since last winter, and this year it will not break the business, but the tea that is taken away is less than half of it, not to mention, and only choose Longjing, Houkui such tea, usually tea is not taken, Shandong, Henan is also. ”

They returned along the same road, covered with thick shade and green grass, and the young grandmother followed her own train of thought to decompose: "I thought about it later, I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary people to have a good stomach, and who still has leisure to taste tea, and there are only big families like Longjing and Houkui left." The young grandmother sighed: "There is no factory for tea, and the loss is nothing more than some retail investors who drink tea, but silk weaving is not good, and the unsalable in the north is afraid that it will affect production, so I said let you have a snack." ”

"I also thought of this just now, the factory just got on the motor, half of the order was sent to North China, only the deposit was collected, I am not afraid that the goods will not be shipped at this time, I should worry about not receiving the final payment."

"I hope that the rain can be received in summer and autumn, otherwise the road to the north may be really difficult to slow down." The young grandmother changed her words: "I have to say more than that. ”

The young grandmother stopped and chopped the mud on the flat ground, stomped a few feet, and not far away was a car parked on the side of the road, Qiao Shengping wondered what the young grandmother had to say, and the young grandmother said, "Do you remember where Brother Yun came back?"

Qiao Shengping's eyes burst out: "Suiyuan!" ”

"Brother Yun came back in May, Suiyuan is in the northwest of the mountain, and he was also affected by the war, when he was fighting, he came south with artillery fire, if he didn't stay in Suiyuan, why take this risk? I see that Mengluo is interested in Brother Yun, but I'm afraid that Brother Yun thinks that Mengluo is far away from Mengluo, you might as well sell it, don't call Brother Yun always feel that he is not a family with Qiaofu, don't treat others as ordinary employment factory directors. ”

Unconsciously, she had walked to the side of the car, and after the young grandmother finished speaking, she got into the car, she supported her cheeks, and waited for Qiao Shengping to digest and drive home, what they said today was complicated, and I need to be smooth out like Qiao Shengping.

In April of this year (1928), the second Northern Expedition, Lunan fought first, Zhili (Hebei), southern Henan, northern Henan, eastern Jindong and other places successively fought for days, "Ta Kung Pao" one by one, the report and announcement were like arrows carved with the flames of war by the newsboys sent to the streets and alleys, with the enthusiasm for the great cause of unifying China, and also sympathy for the people suffering in the war.

The foundation of the country is the people's livelihood, the foundation of the people's livelihood is life, and I don't know how to live and recuperate in peace and contentment in this turbulent era, I was shocked at this time, I thought that the prosperity of Hangzhou was actually outside the war, she just couldn't see the smoke of gunpowder, but it was not that it was not affected by the smoke of gunpowder, and the little tea was implicated, and the paradise silk weaving should also be cautious.

When the car caught fire, the "boom" of the engine sounded like the pulse of a person's heart at this time, and it was a period of moving forward with a load.
