Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Xu Damao's method of provoking the opponent was particularly effective on Sha Zhu. The other person quickly took two steps and caught up with Xu Damao.

"That's a deal. Just tell me a day in advance and I'll come back to cook!"

Sha Zhu has already thought about it and will prepare two lunch boxes in advance. As a chef, there is no such thing as being without leaks.

Eating and taking at the same time is the basic operation of this business.

"Okay! It's settled."

After booking the chef, the remaining few uncles who were just eating for a living were no longer a concern.

Isn't it good to eat for free? When the time comes, he only needs to raise his arm and call, and the three uncles will definitely come over.

If these three people still can't drink Chen Jianghe down, then Jia Dongxu will be added, and each drink counts.

Anyway, the main purpose is to get the father of his future son drunk!

The last question left was how to confess to Liu Xianglan. Xu Damao had no idea about this question for the time being.

What if Liu Xianglan is a chaste and virtuous woman who refuses to give birth to Chen Jianghe's child? That would be a headache.

Xu Damao thought that in this courtyard, apart from himself, Chen Jianghe was the only one who could rank top in terms of appearance.

Of course, he doesn’t care what others think, because he wants to be a handsome guy anyway.

"Hey, Damao, you're back!"

Liu Xianglan came back early with Lou Xiao'e and waited for Xu Damao to get off work to tell him the good news!

"Ah, wife, what makes you so happy today?"

Xu Damao washed his hands and started preparing to cook.

There was no other way. After marrying a wife who couldn't work, he had to take on the responsibilities of washing clothes, cooking, and working to support the family.

"Something good happened today. I went to the hospital!"

When Liu Xianglan said this, Xu Damao's heart immediately skipped a beat. Could it be that she was going to check his past?

It shouldn’t be so easy for Union Hospital to open up patient information!

Moreover, there shouldn't be any third party who knows about Chen Jianghe and I going to Union Hospital. Could it be...

This guy began to wonder if Chen Jianghe was not treating him as a brother and sold him out cheaply.

"Isn't Xiao'e going to have a pregnancy checkup today? I'm going with her."

Liu Xianglan spoke with heavy breathing, which almost frightened Xu Damao to his knees.

"Oh, my dear, can you speak clearly? I'm scared to death."

Xu Damao touched his chest and almost choked out his breath.

"Hey! Why are you panicking? I just want to give you a surprise."

When Liu Xianglan saw her man's expression, she thought he was worried about her health, and she felt very happy.

If I tell him that I can have a baby, he will be so happy.

"What kind of surprise can I have? I'll be thankful it's not a shock."

Xu Damao didn't want to listen to Liu Xianglan's gossip at all. He was confused and he had to prepare himself mentally first.

After all, you have to be green on yourself... most people really can't accept this.

"Hey! You..."

Liu Xianglan looked at Xu Damao who was about to leave with the dishes and scolded him, but she thought that it didn't matter if he didn't like to hear it now, because eating was more important.

At night, the two of them had a deeper discussion and decided to get pregnant with Mr. Xu's child.

What a beautiful thing!

……

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Chen Jianghe has been going out early and coming back late almost every day in the past few months. If you don’t know him, you might think he has found a proper job.

In the office area, the elderly have finished reading the work report on "work-for-relief".

Due to the severe drought this year, the grain transport teams received less and less food.

In more areas, work points were used for exchange, and what was collected were copied books of work point details.

Digging ditches, smashing stones, paving roads...

These infrastructure projects, which previously required special funding, are now being carried out in an orderly manner with the support of the Feed the World plan.

Without rivers and reservoirs, there is no way to store water, and when drought comes, the crops in the fields can only wait to dry up.

Without convenient transportation, there would be an insurmountable "natural barrier" between urban and rural areas, and many people would never have been to a city in their entire lives.

People in the city have no idea what the situation is like in the countryside where the food is grown to feed them.

What is more important is the economic impact. It is a bit like one party’s products have no market, while the other party suffers from not being able to buy low-priced high-quality products.

It’s not that the middlemen make a profit from the price difference, but that the transportation is inconvenient and the goods cannot be delivered.

That day, Chen Jianghe was busy writing a work report in the office when Wu Xiang suddenly came in with a serious look on his face.

"Did something happen?"

Chen Jianghe put down his pen and quickly made tea for people. This had become a habit for him.

Drinking tea no matter what can help maintain your health and relieve inner anxiety to a certain extent.

"Something happened. The convoy that came back this morning... was empty..."

Wu Xiang put one hand on the teacup and tried to make his tone calmer, but he really couldn't calm down.

"empty?"

Chen Jianghe knew that even if he came back with an empty truck, he would always bring a copy of the local work points registration.

So what does the empty car mean this time?

"How old were you in '42?"

Wu Xiang asked a seemingly unrelated question. History always repeats itself in a surprising way.

"In 42 years, I should have been four or five years old, just beginning to understand things."

Chen Jianghe was curious. Was there any incident at that time that was similar to the one now?

“You probably wouldn’t know it if you were four or five years old, because our country hadn’t been established yet.

There are powerful enemies outside and natural disasters inside. In some areas, nine out of ten houses are empty.

You wouldn't believe the consequences of millions of people going without food.

Miserable, so miserable..."

Now China has been established for more than ten years. The powerful enemies have retreated and the people are united.

Just as everyone was moving towards a better life step by step, a special situation occurred again:

With pressure from the Russian bear outside and natural disasters inside, the country is in dire straits.

I thought that Chen Jianghe's "work-for-relief" plan would be able to alleviate the domestic disaster situation, but it seems that it is far from enough!

Chen Jianghe has no memory of those years, but he has studied history!

If I remember correctly, three million! A disaster for the whole province...

This is a horrifying number, but those who cannot face history will eventually be blinded by lies.

"Are you saying that there have also been cases of starvation this year?"

Chen Jianghe's hair stood on end instantly. Was he still too late? Could it be that starvation was spreading everywhere?

But from the beginning of spring to now, more than three months have passed. Hasn’t the grain transport team traveled all over the country yet?

"Except for the suburbs, almost all other areas have experienced different degrees of tragedy."

Wu Xiang took a deep breath. After all, it was the backwardness of industrial transportation capacity and transportation.

Even though he had mobilized one-tenth of the heavy-duty trucks, they were working around the clock to transport food to all parts of the country.

But for some places where vehicles cannot enter, they can only be carried in little by little by manpower.

The back and forth will waste a lot of time, and the Grim Reaper will not wait for you to prepare everything before swinging his scythe.
