Chapter 136 The Famine Comes
Xia Zhi blushed violently, pinched Su Chen, and Su Chen's stomach ached from laughing.
"It's all your fault." Xia Zhi looked like she couldn't see anyone in the future.
Su Chen hugged him tightly, his voice was unreasonably soft, "Mom is from here, so I don't know, she also hopes that we will give her a big fat grandson soon, it's fine."
"Hmph, it's all because you are so attractive that I can't control myself." Xia Zhi said innocently.
"Hehe, what you said is right, the captain should come in if you don't go out." Su Chen looked at Xia Zhi with a smile in his eyes.
Only then did Xia Zhi remember Captain Ma's incident, she packed up and walked out immediately.
Su Chen couldn't help laughing, and found out why his little wife was so cute.
When Captain Ma saw Xia Zhi coming out, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Is Ah Chen feeling better?"
Xia Zhi blushed even more, remembering that man was so ruthless at night, it must be all right.
"It's much better, thank you Captain for your concern." Xia Zhi said seriously.
Captain Ma looked at Xia Zhi with some doubts, it wasn't hot yet, why was her face so red.
"Azhi, all the leaders above know about your deeds, and they appreciate you quite a lot." Captain Ma said with excitement in his eyes.
It seemed that he was the one who got the compliment, and he looked at Xia Zhi with a smile in his eyes.
"Thank you, captain, for reporting it for me. I just don't want the people around me to suffer. It's nothing." Xia Zhi's face was calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, which made Captain Ma even more satisfied.
Captain Ma thought that Su Chen had good eyesight, so he chose Xia Zhi as a good wife.
"I recently received requests from other brigades, asking you to design canals and bridges for them. See if you want to go." Captain Ma looked at Xia Zhi seriously.
Xia Zhi discussed it for a while, but still chose to refuse, "Captain Ma, you also know that Ah Chen is injured, I don't want to travel far now, I want to stay and take care of him, as for the repair of the canal, let them hire another Gao Ming Bar."
"Well, since you've decided, I won't force it. You and Ah Chenneng are so affectionate that we can't envy you." Captain Ma said with a smile in his eyes.
"Captain, our country is getting stronger and stronger. I believe there are many talents who can build canals. They can be hired from outside." Xia Zhi gave her advice seriously.
"Okay, I'll tell them when I see the other captains." Captain Ma said appreciatively.
"Sister and sister, this is the bonus that our brigade gave you. You have paid a lot for the Xiangyang brigade. Even Ah Chen was hurt and directed the digging of the canal. Your spirit is worth learning from each of us." Captain Ma said with a smile on his face. Seriously.
"Captain, let's forget about it." Xia Zhi declined with some embarrassment.
"Sisters and brothers, this means that you don't have to worry about the brigade's funds. You have also been honored to be nominated as a national model worker. You have a bright future in the future." Captain Ma handed the money to Xia Zhi with a smile on his face.
The corners of Mother Su's mouth curled up, she was happy, her daughter-in-law is really good, a national model worker, that's not something that ordinary people can nominate.
There are not many national model workers in a city, and that person is the representative of their land.
The story of Xia Zhi was quickly spread by word of mouth, and the people in Sujia Village kept praising Xia Zhi when they saw Su's mother.
Mother Su's face was bright, and she was very happy in her heart.
Xia Zhi appeared on the big-character poster, and people all over the country could see it, and she became a role model for the working people of the whole country.
The rainy season is over, Xia Zhi concentrates on taking care of Su Chen at home, and Su's mother is very satisfied.
In the Su family, the whole family ate around the table, and Mother Su kept spinning on Xia Zhi's stomach.
"Azhi, your stomach hasn't moved yet?" Mother Su asked with doubts in her eyes.
Ordinarily, their husband and wife have a sweet relationship, and it shouldn't be difficult to get pregnant, but after being married for so long, Xia Zhi's stomach didn't respond at all.
"Mom, having a baby is not up to Ah Zhi to decide. Don't worry, my son will work hard." Su Chen immediately protected Xia Zhi and spoke for Xia Zhi.
The corners of Mother Su's mouth twitched, her eyes were full of helplessness, she knew that she could say anything, but she couldn't say that Xia Zhi was her son's designated guardian.
"Mom isn't urging you either. You see, those who married with you have all given birth to their children. If you can't do it, why don't I find a remedy for you?" Mother Su asked with worry in her eyes.
"Ahem!" Xia Zhi choked on the rice.
"Mom, Ah Chen and I are both in good health, so we don't need to find any remedies. We will definitely work hard to let you hold your grandson as soon as possible." Xia Zhi assured with earnest eyes.
Seeing what Xia Zhi said, Su's mother could only nod her head and dismissed the matter of looking for folk remedies.
On the other hand, after the flood was resolved, the famine came again, because the torrential rain destroyed the crops, and other villages were short of food.
Xia Zhi stockpiled a lot of food before the flood, the Su family lived comfortably and did not lack food.
Those in the village who listened to Xia Zhi's words had a good life, but there were also those who didn't believe in Xia Zhi, and now they regretted it.
Under the uncle at the entrance of the village, a group of people sat and sighed, all talking about food.
"Are you stockpiling food?" A woman asked Li Cuihua with helplessness in her eyes.
The corners of Li Cuihua's mouth curled up, her eyes filled with joy, "Who is to blame for your lack of food now? Zhiqing Xia told you back then to stock up on more food, but none of you listened, now you know you are in a hurry?"
"Our family has stockpiled some, which is only enough for our family to eat. Don't even think about borrowing food." Li Cuihua immediately refused with serious eyes.
The woman could only shut up and looked at Li Cuihua helplessly, "Auntie, we all live in the same village, you can't bear to watch us starve to death, right?
"Sell us a little too. Food is in short supply now, and there is no food in the town. The price changes every day, so we can't buy it." The villagers prayed helplessly.
Li Cuihua is straightforward, hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Seeing their appearance, she softened for a moment, "It's okay to sell, but the price is the same as the market. Now food and gold are very expensive, and I can't suffer."
"Okay, as long as you are willing to sell it." The villagers said excitedly.
I don't know who leaked the news. I heard that Xia Zhi had stockpiled a lot of food, so they all went to Su's house to beg for food.
Seeing that the people from Sujia Village and nearby villages were all coming, Mother Su was worried for a moment, fearing that they would rob them.
When Xia Zhi came out, she saw that the Su family's courtyard was full of people.
"Mom, what is this for?" Xia Zhi asked with doubts in her eyes.
"Ah Zhi, they heard that you stocked up a lot of food, and they all came to buy food." Mother Su said with worried eyes.
Xia Zhi nodded, "Mom, go back, leave this to me."
"I'll be with you, there are so many people, I'm afraid you will be squeezed by them." Mother Su protected Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi looked serious, "Everyone, if you are asking for food, you should consciously line up to buy, and those who don't line up will not be sold."
The chaotic people became orderly in an instant, the corners of Su's mother's mouth curled up, and her eyes were full of smiles, "A Zhi, you still have a way."
