On August 18, the delegations of the five countries of Bactria and the Xiannan Peninsula held a closed-door meeting in the capital of Qiongzhou.

The two sides held a new round of consultations and negotiations on the distribution of water sources in international rivers such as the Meigong River.

But the result was still unhappy.

Daxia's attitude is still the same as usual, and once again refuses to open the floodgates to release water, citing national security concerns.

Simple and crude!

In retaliation, but also to exert pressure, the five countries openly expelled millions of refugees to the border areas before and after the meeting.

This move directly triggered a wave of refugees in southern Xinjiang, so that the pressure on the border defense became more and more intense, and finally they had to ask for help from higher authorities.

Speaking of which, Xiang Xin is also one of the victims.

……

On August 20th, today is the 18th day of Ma Lingling's visit to Yanjing, and she is very glad that she did not go to work for the summer vacation, otherwise she would have died.

In the past half a month, she has fully seen what the life of a "rich family" is, and it is false to say that she is not envious.

At half past six in the morning, the mobile phone alarm clock rang, and Ma Lingling got up as usual, after all, she was a big girl, and she didn't have the face to lie in bed like her younger brother.

The bedroom here is very large, nearly 40 square meters, which is larger than her living room.

After washing, Ma Lingling began to go to the kitchen to help her grandmother and aunt make breakfast.

Today's breakfast is rice porridge, which is not uncommon, and their family also has gruel and rice every day.

What is rare is the next few side dishes fried by my grandmother.

The first is a plate of shredded pork with green peppers.

The pork was bought by my uncle last night, and basically every few days, my uncle would bring back a few catties of pork.

According to my grandmother, a pound of pork on the market now costs at least thousands of yuan, and many times it is not necessarily possible to buy it if you have money.

In this way, a meal at my grandmother's house is almost a month's living expenses for their family, and the gap is indeed a bit amazing.

Next is a plate of fried salted fish, salted fish is dried seafood, Ma Lingling likes it very much, and her grandmother sees that she loves to eat, which is almost a daily must-have.

There is also a plate of stir-fried lettuce, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of fried water spinach, all of which are freshly picked from the vegetable garden in the morning, and the food is fresh.

Finally, of course, there is a plate of salted beans, which my grandfather and grandmother used to serve as an appetizer.

My grandfather ate the earliest at home, and usually went out on time at seven o'clock.

And after half an hour, it is the normal breakfast time for a large family, except for the triplets, the triplets usually don't get up at eight o'clock, when the temperature has already risen.

Before breakfast starts, my aunt usually asks:

"Lingling, Xiaoxu, do you two want soy milk or milk?"

The soy milk is freshly ground in the soymilk machine, and the milk is made with milk powder, and a pot will be prepared every morning.

Ma Lingling chooses milk most of the time, after all, milk is more nutritious, and drinking milk often will make girls' skin whiter.

Looking at the white and red faces of the two little cousins, you can know that the two of them must not drink less.

But today she chose soy milk, because she drank a few more boxes of Trensu yesterday, but she didn't expect to have diarrhea, and it is estimated that the next few days will not be suitable for touching milk.

After breakfast, my brother-in-law drove to work; The little aunt began to revolve around the triplets; The two little cousins and their own brother were blowing the air conditioner, watching TV, and writing their summer vacation homework by the way.

Ma Lingling was not idle here, helping her grandmother clean up and wash her clothes.

Washing clothes is more troublesome, you need to wash them by hand, after all, the washing machine is too wasteful of water, and the price of water is so expensive, even if my grandmother's family has money, I can't bear it.

But fortunately, the change is all light clothes such as body soap, and it doesn't take much effort to soak it in laundry detergent with water.

In addition, the waste water left over from washing clothes cannot be emptied, and can be used to flush the toilet, and there is no water in Yanjing after eight o'clock.

In Luyang, the tap water was stopped as early as two months ago, and everyone has become accustomed to the life of carrying buckets to the designated place to receive water every day.

After finishing the housework, it was about nine o'clock, Ma Lingling went to the living room to watch TV, and then helped her aunt take care of her three little cousins.

"Lingling, you see there is a bag here, I think it suits you well, what do you think, or I'll give it to you?"

At present, due to the shortage of materials, the closure of large and small shopping websites is almost over, but the second-hand commodity trading platform led by Xian Yuwang is rising against the trend and has sprung up.

Ma Lingling took the phone and looked at it, she felt pretty good, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, auntie." ”

"You kid is really, we are all a family, don't be polite to me!" Yang Lina said with a smile.

Ma Lingling found that this little aunt likes to buy things online, and often takes her mobile phone to shop online when she has nothing to do, and her family receives several couriers every day, which is probably Mrs. Kuo's daily life!

After grinding until eleven o'clock, Xu's mother was going to prepare lunch again, and according to the convention, lunch must be richer than breakfast.

"Lingling, Xiaoxu, what do you two want to eat at noon?" Xu Ma came over and asked.

Ma Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately hurriedly replied, "Grandma, I want to eat braised pork." ”

Ma Lingling swallowed her saliva unconsciously when she heard this, the first meal the two of them had in Yanjing was braised pork noodles, and now that they think about it, they still have endless aftertastes.

"Milk, I want to eat braised pork too." Lele shouted.

"This... When I buy the pork head meat, I will make it for you, what else do you want to eat besides braised meat? ”

"Grandma, why don't we make dumplings at noon?" Ma Lingling hurriedly proposed.

She was afraid that her little brother would not be able to eat braised pork, and if she didn't do it, she would have to play a little temper, which would make her aunt unhappy when the time came.

Mother Xu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's eat dumplings at noon." ”

Dumplings are delicious, but they are very troublesome to make, and you can't buy ready-made dumpling wrappers at the moment, so you can only start with noodles honestly.

It took an hour to wrap the dumplings, and there are two kinds of fillings, one is cabbage and pork filling; The other is a three-fresh vegetarian filling made with shrimp skin, spinach and carrots.

After another ten minutes, the steamed dumplings were finally coming out of the pot, and Dad Xu happened to arrive home at this time.

"Lingling, what are you going to eat at noon?"

"Grandpa, grandma made dumplings, and it will be fine immediately." Ma Lingling said happily.

"Really? Your grandmother hasn't made dumplings for more than half a year, and this time it's a stain of you and Xiao Xu. Dad Xu joked.

Ma Lingling smiled and said, "Then I will come to Yanjing to accompany you during the winter vacation." ”

"I'll call your mom when I go back, and you'll definitely be able to come over during the winter vacation." Dad Xu promised.

"Grandpa, you're so nice!"

Mother Xu came out with dumplings and said, "The dumplings are ready, come over for dinner, don't forget to wash your hands." ”

Dad Xu made an exception and drank a glass of liquor at noon, how did he say that:

Dumplings with wine, the more you drink, the more you have.
