As soon as Song Hongguo expressed his position, the system did not dare to gibber any more and said in a good-tempered manner, "With those grains, we can offset the shortcomings of the autumn harvest. I heard them say with a sad face during the meeting that in the whole province, except for our city, In other places, after the people paid for the public grain, there was simply not enough left over. It was completely impossible for the people to eat the little grain in their hands until the wheat harvest next year. They were preparing to apply for relief grain. Who would have thought, suddenly there would be Such a big pie falls..."

Song Hongguo didn't have much sense of superiority and listened calmly, "What we donated will probably be distributed to each city, but it will only be a drop in the bucket, but it's better than nothing."

When the system heard this, it immediately became anxious, "What do you mean it's better than nothing? You're too humble. It can save lives. Although it can't keep them full, it can still last until the next wheat harvest. It's enough to save people in an emergency, but not to save the poor. , What you have done is already amazing. In the past, this feat of yours would have earned you a lot of good reputation. Now, you can’t publicize it, it’s just a night walk in brocade clothes, why do you still take it so seriously?”

Who could be willing to spend such a large sum of money?

Song Hongguo was amused by it, "You are exaggerating your achievements because of my injustice. In fact, even if I don't donate this batch of food, most of the people will be able to survive the past six months, and I don't count as saving them."

"Why? Relying on the higher authorities to distribute food?"

"Have you forgotten the food substitute chlorella? Although it doesn't taste good, compared with your life, is it more important whether you like it or not?"

The system reacted immediately, snorted, and became a little unhappy, "So, it seems that we have done useless work and it is unnecessary?"

Song Hongguo said, "Of course not. Chlorella is a food substitute, and food is food. It cannot be generalized. I just don't want you to think of yourself as a benefactor."

The system muttered in a low voice, "Who considers themselves a benefactor? If you do good deeds without leaving your name, why can't you have fun yourself?"

Song Hongguo said funnyly, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

The system's pride was tempered, and when he spoke again, his tone became much calmer, "The province has collected the grain and is discussing how to distribute it. Units like the aluminum factory will definitely take more care of it. Next, we will buy it at the beginning of the month." You don’t have to queue up to grab grains, you can buy sufficient amounts of fine grains and so on.”

Song Hongguo said "hmm".

"But..." the system changed the topic, "They will definitely investigate this matter secretly. I wonder how far they will get to it?"

Song Hongguo said thoughtfully, "Maybe we will find out about the black market in our factory."

The system was surprised, "Will it?"

Song Hongguo reminded, "Don't forget, our deal with Brother Zeng has been going on for several months. We can provide so much food every month. Where does the food come from? He must be curious, but he can't ask and doesn't dare to Investigate, but if the province wants to know, it will naturally not be afraid of anything, besides, there is Feng Qiuping."

The system suddenly understood, "The person Feng Qiuping is looking for is from the province. The elders in the family have real power. Others can't figure out how to donate food, but Feng Qiuping can guess it. Maybe she will call you stupid behind your back." , If you have money to waste like this, and you can’t get any benefits from reputation, what are you doing?”

Song Hongguo didn't care what Feng Qiuping looked at her. What she cared about was whether Feng Qiuping would hint to Xu Heng and shift the attention of the provincial investigation to the factory.

After thinking about it, she said, "Go to the province again and have a look. If you can't keep an eye on Feng Qiuping, go to the Xu family and listen to what they mean."

The system should download.

But this matter is not urgent. She has to wait for the news to spread from inside and reach Feng Qiuping's ears before she can react.

The news spread faster than Song Hongguo expected. In the morning, there was no news, but when she went to work in the afternoon, she heard about it from Xu Xianghong.

The matter was obviously still in a semi-secret stage. Xu Xianghong spoke in a very reserved and low-key manner, only revealing a little bit to her, "There are patriots who have donated a large amount of food to the province, and they have donated food to our city before. They should be the same person, and their whereabouts are really mysterious. No matter how much the city searches, they can't find any clues." Song Hongguo pretended to be surprised and listened, expressing her curiosity at the right time, "How much did you donate this time? What are they? food?"

Xu Xianghong whispered, "I don't know the exact number. Anyway, every city can have a lot of uniformity. At least, it can delay the winter. When there are wild vegetables in spring, we won't worry about starving to death, and our factory will also I will share some. When the grain station opens, we will take turns to buy. I heard that a lot of millet and beans were donated this time. These are good things to feed people, and they are much better than eating dried sweet potatoes and corn stubble."

Song Hongguo nodded and asked at the right time, "I don't know who this patriot is? How could he donate such a large amount of food?"

Xu Xianghong said in a confidential manner, "I can't figure it out. The province is also thinking about it, but they can't figure it out. Let's just talk about it in private, but we can't spread it outside."

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

Turning around, she urged the system, "You can go to the province now."

The system was also curious about Feng Qiuping's choice and went there in a hurry.

Song Hongguo stopped thinking about this matter and went to the mall to buy things for Zhao Baoqing's birthday, including two bottles of slightly better liquor and two boxes of medium-grade cigarettes. Only these two items were bought outside, except for cigarette and wine tickets. It would cost more than three yuan. She thought it was too expensive and would not be a burden for the Zhao family, so she randomly picked some pastries and put four of them together. They put them in the basket, which was also full and very handy. I took action.

By the time she took her children to Zhao's house after get off work, the food was almost ready and waiting to be served. The enticing aroma floated in the air, and the greedy children were stuck in the kitchen, reluctant to leave.

However, when the children saw her coming, they enthusiastically called "cousin" and gathered around her.

Song Hongguo was already prepared. She took out a handful of candies from her pocket and distributed them one by one.

It’s even sweeter when the little ones call me “cousin”.

Zhao Zhenhua came out of the house and drove the children away with smiles and curses. No matter how close they were to each other, on this day they were distinguished guests and had to be entertained.

He took the basket, exchanged a few pleasantries, and led her into the main room.

Everyone sitting in the main room came to celebrate. Song Hongguo basically knew everyone except for a woman in her thirties, who was wearing brand new clothes and well-groomed. Looking at her appearance, she also guessed the identity of the other person. Sure enough, , Zhao Zhenhua introduced her to her as his eldest sister Zhao Hongling.

Song Hongguo greeted with a smile.

Zhao Hongling treated her very warmly, took her hand, and kept looking for topics to talk about.

Song Hongguo was a little uncomfortable, but she could only respond with a smile.

In the end, it was Zhao Yulian who rescued her, called her over, and talked casually about family matters. This made her secretly relieved. For a moment, she couldn't figure out why Zhao Hongling was so enthusiastic.

This is the first time the two of them have met.
