Chapter 124: Going out to look for someone after the New Year
She said with some hope, "Maybe the owner was kind and took Jinhui with him when he left?"
As for the possibility that Jinhui would be stranded outside the city and become one of the disaster victims, Tao Ya didn't even dare to think about it.
Given the disaster situation before, if Jinhui could follow the crowd and return to Lanxia County safely, there would be no reason for him not to go home.
If he is among the disaster victims and does not come back, there are only three possibilities.
One, I have lost my memory.
Second, there may be something wrong with the throat, and the person becomes unable to speak, and has no chance to tell anyone.
Third, he was afraid of Su Ye and the Su family, and regarded Sujia Village as a den of wolves and tigers. He would rather starve and freeze outside than come back.
No matter which situation it is, Tao Ya feels suffocated just thinking about it.
When Qi Jianing and her two children were taken home by Rongrong, they looked extremely miserable.
She couldn't imagine what Jinhui would become after these few months if he was also one of the victims.
I don’t even dare to think about it!
During this period, Su Rongrong and Tao Ya have been working in perfect harmony.
After Tao Ya said this, she immediately looked at Baili Zheng who had finished his noodles and was drinking soup.
"Brother Zheng, how is the progress of the disaster victims digging canals?
Where are they settled and are they registered?
I'd like to take some time to go over and take a look in the next few days, is that okay?
If there is a roster, that would be great.
In addition, apart from our Lanxia County, are the disaster victims in other counties also managed in this way?
Is there a roster of them?"
Baili Zheng knew her quite well, and he knew as soon as he heard her that she wanted to look among the disaster victims to see if there was Su Jinhui.
He hadn't thought about it this way before, but now he thought it might be possible.
He nodded immediately and said, “There is a list, but I’m not sure it’s the real name.
After all, the disaster victims have lost their household registration books, and it is difficult to track them down even if they used fake names.
The way of dealing with disaster victims was first started in Lanxia County, and other counties followed suit later.
But I can only give you the list for Lanxia County. As for the list of other places, my father needs to come forward and ask his colleagues for it.
It is now the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, and the government office has been sealed. We have to wait until the beginning of the new year."
Su Rongrong couldn't wait until next year, so she said, "Let's go to the resettlement site in Lanxia County first.
If not, go somewhere else.
Brother Zheng, I may need to trouble you to find out where the resettlement sites in other counties are.”
"it is good!"
Su Rongrong felt heavy in her heart and she no longer had the desire to go back.
She had no idea how to tell Qiaoqiao and Manman later.
As for her aunt, she didn't even know where to start.
Tao Ya saw that she was in a bad mood and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only look at Baili Zheng.
Baili Zheng gestured to her, and when he saw her go out with the bowl, he walked over to Su Rongrong and pulled her to sit on the stool.
"Tomorrow is the Little New Year, don't think about anything, go back now and spend some quality time with your brothers and sisters at home.
They are all still waiting for you to come home!
After the Little New Year, I will accompany you to look for those resettlement sites.
Well, in the next two days, ask Jinhong to draw a few pictures of what Jinhui looked like in the past.
Also, what does he look like now at his age?
When you find other places, I will send someone with a map to help you find them."
Su Rongrong saw that his eyes were bloodshot, nodded and said, "Well, Brother Zheng, I won't thank you either.
Go back and have a good sleep."
After seeing that she had a plan in mind, Baili Zheng nodded and strode away.
He has been sleeping only two hours a day for four or five days in a row.
Now, even if there is a big deal, we have to wait until he has had enough sleep.
Otherwise, you won’t get enough sleep, feel tired, and have a unclear mind. That’s not good!
Su Rongrong and Tao Ya went back not long after Baili Zheng left.
They hired a carriage and bought a lot of things on their way back.
As the sun came out and the weather improved, the disaster in Lanxia County was successfully overcome.
Because the government had managed the county properly before, not many people in Lanxia County starved to death or froze to death.
As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the county's economy has recovered by 50% to 60% thanks to the intervention of the government.
Su Rongrong and Tao Ya both bought some things and filled half of the rented carriage.
Taoya gained a lot from this trip.
In addition to learning how to make leek dumplings and pan-fried buns, they also got two taels of silver.
Of course, Su Rongrong gave more than just silver, she also gave some cloth, hair flowers, and lip balm.
The cloth was linen, one piece was navy blue and the other was brown.
I didn’t buy the most expensive lip balm, but it wasn’t cheap either, costing several hundred coins per box.
She herself spent money to buy half a piece of light red coarse cotton cloth.
Whether it is navy blue or brown, it is suitable for men or older women.
She planned to use the two pieces of cloth to make clothes for her parents, grandparents and eldest brother.
As for the light red one, it is used by myself and my sister-in-law.
Now that she has made some money, she can share the benefits with everyone, especially her sister-in-law.
In this way, she can continue to be with Rongrong next year.
In this way, her sister-in-law will not only not hinder her, but will also help her when her parents disagree.
As for Su Rongrong, her family had enough grain and cloth, so she bought some meat and pastries.
When I passed by a bookstore, I also bought some pens, ink and rough paper for practicing calligraphy.
Of course, I also bought two travel books.
The former is for the two brothers Zhiming and Zhiyuan, and the latter is for Su Jinhong.
Otherwise he would just read books all day and end up reading himself stupid.
Occasionally, you still have to look at other things and relax!
Of course, she also bought the latest styles of headbands from the embroidery shop and gave them to Manman and Qiaoqiao.
When the carriage entered Sujia Village and stopped at the door of her house, Su Manman and Su Qiaoqiao in the house heard the noise and ran out.
Seeing Su Rongrong, the two looked behind her curiously.
Then he took a closer look at his elder sister's expression.
Noticing that there was no obvious happiness in her face, their hearts sank.
Especially Su Manman, she is smart and can guess the situation between her mother and Jinhui at a glance.
If it is found, my elder sister will definitely be very happy.
There is none now, either the person has not been found, or he has been found but the situation is not good.
So Su Manman thought a lot and couldn't help showing some expression on her face.
After all the things were unloaded from the carriage and Su Rongrong settled the money, Su Jinhong also came out.
He took a look at Su Manman's expression and his heart began to sink.
No one said anything, they just moved all the things back.
After they entered and closed the door, Su Rongrong said, "Jinhong, draw a few pictures later.
One shows what Jinhui looked like when he was six years old, and the other shows what he might look like now.
After I finish the painting, I will copy a few more pictures and give them to Brother Zheng, asking his men to find them."
