As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent.
Luo Gang sat on a small stool beside the bed, his complexion not too good.
Clearly, he had taken in what Elder Ge had just said, and after pondering for a while, he looked up and spoke, “Elder Ge, I heard something outside, but I don’t know if it’s true. The government hasn’t come out and said anything clear.”
Elder Ge gave him a look, quickly understood what he wanted to ask, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “It should be mostly correct. Those prolonged nights we had earlier might have really destroyed the crops.”
Li Xiaoxia’s face was filled with shock, not quite understanding the meaning of Elder Ge’s words.
Su Shu thought for a moment, then explained to her, “Before, many people said that the crops in the rural fields were destroyed. That means this year, all the nation’s food is gone. With so many people waiting to eat, the government is now opening granaries to provide disaster relief. What Elder Ge means is that the people in Linjiang suffered the most severe disaster and have hardly any reserves. So by recruiting volunteers, the government is solving its own shortage of manpower and also taking advantage of the situation not yet being widely known to provide targeted relief to the disaster-stricken people of Linjiang preemptively. That way, everyone will have some grain reserves in hand for when something happens in the future, reducing a lot of friction and danger, right? After all, when you add up the disaster-stricken population of Linjiang Region and the rural areas downstream, it reaches the tens of thousands. Elder Ge, did I explain that right?”
Elder Ge said, “Xiaosu’s right about this, people will cause a big commotion if they’re not fed.”
Li Xiaoxia understood, and after thinking for a moment, she turned her eyes to Luo Gang. Luo Gang lifted his head, just in time to see the guilt and pity in his wife’s eyes.
He knew she was worried about the dangers of him going, and didn’t know how to tell him not to go under these circumstances.
She always felt she was a burden.
Luo Gang gently patted her hand, “Don’t think too much. The government is recruiting people and offering such good terms. Everyone’s going, so I don’t see any issue with it. It looks like we won’t be able to return home for a while, and we can’t live on these little rations from the relief center forever. What Elder Ge and Sister Su said makes sense. Since the government is quietly helping us stockpile something, why not go? If you miss this chance, there won’t be another.”
After Luo Gang finished speaking, Su Shu saw Elder Ge nodding his head inadvertently, seemingly very satisfied with Luo Gang’s decision.
Sometimes, danger also conceals opportunity. If you’re scared of this and that, in the end, won’t you end up empty-handed, with nothing at all?
Fortune depends on disaster, and disaster on fortune.
In critical moments, one must not be muddled. Following Elder Ge’s suggestion, one should go for the government recruitment.
Su Shu, too, intended to go.
Li Xiaoxia turned her head and scolded her, “Men can go to do heavy labor, what can you, a girl, do there? If something goes wrong, what will happen to Xiao’ai?”
Embracing Xiao’ai, Su Shu rested her chin gently on the little girl’s head and turned with a smile, “I plan to ask Elder Ge and Granny Fu to look after her for a few days. I’ll share half of my compensation with their family. What’s wrong? Sister Xiaoxia, you can’t bear to talk about your own husband, so you’re picking on me, aren’t you?”
Knowing that Li Xiaoxia was worried about causing trouble, Su Shu didn’t take it to heart. She knew Li Xiaoxia was concerned about her safety.
However, as far as she knew, it seemed that in her last life she hadn’t heard of any major problems during this period. The biggest issue was an outbreak of significant unrest instigated by some malintents after the consolidation of the relief centers, which thereafter led directly to the establishment of new secure living areas under military management.
Suddenly, it dawned on Su Shu, could it be that the chaos was caused by the recruitment of volunteers this time?
No matter what, she was determined to go along this time.
Because she had already figured out a convenient way to get into the space.
