Chapter 48 Disaster relief (1)
Qian Pengming immediately approached Zhao Shihua to discuss such disaster relief.When Zhao Shihua came back, it was the end of Xu Dynasty. Seeing his heavy face, Gu Wanniang asked a few words worriedly, and Zhao Shihua explained the current situation to her with a sigh.

In fact, this year's snow disaster is early clues.

Although it has snowed in the south in previous years, it has never been as heavy as this year. It often melts away as soon as the sun comes out the next day.But this year is different, the snow has accumulated thickly on the roof, even if the snow stops the next day, it will not melt much.No, the snow from the day before yesterday hadn't melted yet, so it started to fall again.

Zhao Shihua has never seen such heavy snow in his 25 years of life.He has been very worried in his heart, and he didn't expect that something really happened in the countryside.

Zhao Shihua discussed with Mr. Qian for a long time, and drew up several disaster prevention and relief measures.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shihua recruited all the officials in the county, including Dianshi Yamen, and after a brief training, Mr. Qian personally arranged for them to disperse them to various towns in the county with warrants bearing official seals. Organize and urge the people to sweep snow to fight disasters.

In fact, Mr. Qian is considered a good official. At least in the past two months, Zhao Shihua has never seen him accept bribes and bend the law for personal gain, and his handling of affairs is considered reasonable and fair.Now when encountering such a major event, as soon as Zhao Shihua's suggestion is put forward, most of Mr. Qian can accept it and do it with heart.

Qian Pengyang and Zhao Shihua worked very hard on this anti-snow disaster relief.However, this year, God is really abnormal. One snow after another, I don’t know how many houses have been crushed, how many livestock and poultry have been frozen to death, and the number of casualties reported every day is constantly increasing.

Zhao Shihua hurriedly negotiated with Mr. Qian again, organized rich households in the county to donate money and materials, and used the county's grain and treasury silver to buy warm clothes for poor farmers and build new houses for severely affected families. However, all this is a drop in the bucket.A county is so big and there are so many people affected by the disaster, how can these donations be enough?
When Zhao Shihua came home at night, it was completely dark, and seeing his wife and children waiting for him to eat, he was very sorry, and couldn't help sighing: "I've said it many times, let you eat first, don't wait for me, why always eat?" Disobedient. I'm busy this time, can I come back and pay back every promise!"

Gu Wanniang smiled softly and did not speak.

An Qi also looked at his father with a smirk, not knowing what to say.

An Ran glanced at the two who couldn't speak, shook her head secretly and sighed, and immediately rushed over with a sweet smile: "Daddy, my daughter misses you. Mother and brother also miss you. Daddy is working hard, we have to wait for you." Daddy will eat together."

Zhao Shihua looked at An Ran's smile and listened to her sensible and caring words, no matter how tired he was, all of a sudden he dissipated.He bent down and hugged An Ran, kissed her little face and said: "When you see my precious daughter, Daddy won't have to work hard. Come on, niece, kiss Daddy!"

An Ran cheerfully hugged her father's neck, and kissed him twice heavily on the face.Then, she said to Gu Wanniang: "Mother, come and kiss Daddy too! After kissing Daddy, Daddy won't feel so hard!"

Gu Wanniang blushed and stared at her, neither scolded nor angry, she was ashamed and ashamed, how could it be possible for her to kiss her husband in front of the child?She stomped her feet and simply turned around to fetch water for her husband to wash his face.

Seeing her mother's embarrassing look, An Ran laughed happily, turned her head to Zhao Shihua and said, "Look, Dad, only my daughter loves you the most, and only my daughter is willing to kiss Daddy!"

Zhao Shihua was amused by his daughter's words, and all the nervousness and anxiety that had been in him disappeared all of a sudden. "My daughter is really a treasure, no wonder Daddy loves you so much."

"Daddy let my daughter down, Daddy is tired, sit down and rest." An Ran struggled to get off the ground, then quickly climbed onto the stool, poured a cup of tea for Daddy, "Dad, drink some water first, you can eat right away."

Zhao Shihua took a sip from the teacup, only to feel that the tea had an unprecedented fragrance.He touched his daughter's pink face with a smile, his heart was full of happiness and pride.

Gu Wanniang fetched hot water and came over to help Zhao Shihua wash his face and hands, and the family went to the dining room to eat.

After the meal, Gu Wanniang sent the two children back to the room to rest, but An Ran held on to her father's hand and said coquettishly, "I can't sleep when I'm full, otherwise my daughter's stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Zhao Shihua couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, my daughter knows that you can't go to sleep immediately after eating, it's better to wait half an hour to dissolve the food."

Gu Wanniang stared at An Ran, isn't this girl the most sensible?Don't you know that Dad needs a rest after working so hard?
An Ran ignored her mother, just took her father's hand and asked, "What did father do today? Those poor people have big clothes to wear, and do they have houses to live in?"

"Sister Ran! You are young, what do you know? Go back to the house!" Gu Wanniang was really angry.It's rare that the husband forgot about these things just now, why did the daughter bring them up again without winking this time?

However, Zhao Shihua pulled An Ran onto his lap and sat down, stopped Gu Wanniang and said, "Don't be cruel to the child. Our daughter is the most sensible, and she is also compassionate."

An Ran sat on her father's lap and smiled at her mother, then asked: "Daddy, tell your daughter!"

Zhao Shihua nodded, and really told everyone about his day's affairs, and finally sighed: "If the imperial court's disaster relief money does not come down, the subsequent disaster relief will not be able to continue. But the imperial court... alas, how can this be so?" Fast……"

An Ran learned about the general situation through her father's words. In simple terms, it was just one sentence... If you want money, you don't have money, you don't have people.

She thought for a while and said, "There is nothing I can do if I don't have money. Our family has no money, unless I borrow it from a rich person and pay it back when I have money. However, I still have a big piece of clothing that can be donated to the victims of the disaster." But Dad, isn’t there a lot of people in our county? There are people in every household, how can Dad say that there are not enough people? Dad can let young and strong people go to sweep the snow, go to the mountains to cut trees and distribute them as firewood If the fire burns, you won't be afraid of the cold!"

Zhao Shihua only felt his eyes light up, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.After An Ran finished speaking, he suddenly stood up with her in his arms, held her in a circle happily, and laughed loudly: "Our daughter is smart! Daddy knows how to do it!"
