In the same way, Mu Qing ordered someone to bring the rice to the Qi family, and Bichun sent someone to deliver the goods. She looked at the servants who were busy carrying them back and forth, and was a little surprised that the uncle still missed the Qi family, so she couldn't help thinking about it.

It was only later that she learned that Meimei had kidnapped Zhilan to threaten her uncle, so she deliberately reprimanded Meimei for this, but the child had a bad temper and forgot her own advice!For a man like Zhou Muqing, he has to work hard to be his spiritual partner to survive. She doesn't know if her daughter understands, but she has always had a heart for her in the Qi family.

Seeing my uncle send rice over today, does it mean that the relationship between the two has eased?As Bichun thought about it, her worries relaxed, and her mood suddenly improved.

The last few days of May passed without knowing it.Entering June, the sky suddenly changed overnight, and the temperature suddenly became hot.

Jiangcheng is scorching hot, how can one word be enough to sum it up?When people sit at home, the tables and chairs are hot; when people are outside, their clothes will be completely soaked in a short while, and it is even more terrifying under the sun.

Yuchun couldn't stand the heat.Because of her cold constitution, she normally had to wear long-sleeved shirts in summer, but this year she changed into short cotton and silk clothes early this year, not to mention a sandalwood fan, so she rushed to the market to buy a big cattail fan. The sun is shaking.

Sure enough, as Mu Qing said, except for a few apprentices who occasionally do odd jobs in Qi's Tailor Shop, the masters are free again, and old master Li has much less work on hand, and he still has time to come out and chat with other people.

Zhilan asked everyone to take turns to take vacations.The weather is scorching hot, and the workshop of the garment shop is like a steamer. You will sweat profusely after standing for a while, and the work is reduced. There is only one apprentice and one master in the shop.In the afternoon, she saw that no one was there, so she went to the Wande Commercial Bank not far away.

She wants to buy an electric fan for Yuchun.Walking to the top of Jiangzheng Street, turn right and you will find Wande Commercial Bank at the entrance of Xianzheng Street, she stepped in.

It was the heat of the afternoon, and a few customers were picking products. As soon as she came in, a new guy came up to greet her warmly and said, "Miss, what do you need?"

Zhilan smiled and said, "I'm planning to buy an electric fan, can you deliver it to my home?"

"Of course, our Wonder Firm can provide any service you need."

"Okay, please take me to have a look." Zhilan followed the man to the second floor, who dutifully introduced the performance of various fans to her, and she chose one, "Just this one, go and pay for it? "

The clerk politely led her to the cashier, the shopkeeper saw her, took the order in her hand, and gave the clerk a sideways look: "Do you know who she is, and what money do you want?" Turning around, he smiled at Zhilan again , "Miss San, we will send you what you want immediately."

"I bought this, I should pay for it." Zhi Lan refused.The shopkeeper couldn't help it, so she paid according to the price on the order. She didn't disturb Mu Qing, and left after shopping.

In the evening, Mu Qing brought the electric fan and money.Zhilan put down the fan and said seriously: "I won't accept the money, just as much as you want."

"No, this is my intention, just treat it as if I bought it." Mu Qing stuffed the money into her hand and smiled meaningfully, "I haven't bought a gift for mother yet, you have to buy it in front of mother." What a nice word for me!"

"It's too early to change it now!" Zhilan immediately understood what he said, and pursed her lips into a smile.

"Sooner or later." Mu Qing looked at her and smiled, "As long as you approve of me."

Zhilan was full of smiles, and he was pulling her into his arms.Suddenly Yuchun knocked on the door, and when Yuchun entered the room, he saw Mu Qing fumbling for a plug on the wall. When the electricity was turned on, the fan whirred and spun, and a gust of cool wind blew in, which was very comfortable, "It's so cool." Yuchun sighed. Said, the two looked at each other with smiles.

Mu Qing adjusted the fan, Zhi Lan escorted him to the door, the two were tired for a while, and reluctantly parted.

Mu Qing stroked her hair and said: "Mother is screaming, and I will find an opportunity to have a showdown with Qi Mei in the near future. I understand what mother means, and I also know that procrastination will inevitably lead to long nights and dreams, so I have to talk it out and face it."

"Just wait a little longer. The weather has been unbearably hot recently, and the business of our shops has been bleak, and it will cost money to hold a wedding, so it's better to wait for this disaster to pass." Zhilan saw that there were very few customers in Wande Trading Company earlier, and knew that he would also through difficult times.

The words made Mu Qing silent, and Zhi Lan comforted her: "If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be in the morning and evening, you and I know each other well, so there is no need to say more." Mu Qing hugged her emotionally.

The sky in Jiangcheng in June was supposed to change as soon as the child said it, but this child was too stubborn, and it was always a sunny day or a sunny day hidden by black and white clouds.Even the cicadas were lying on the tree listlessly and squeaking, as if they were just dealing with errands to barely maintain their lives.

Zhilan spent money to purchase a batch of ceiling fans or fans, and Wande Commercial Company asked the master to install them in the lobby of the clothing store, several workshops, and the laundry and ironing rooms in the backyard, as well as cloth and satin factories, etc. The fans brought cool air , everyone looked at the fan leaves spinning above their heads, and sighed that it was great to have changed the owner after all, how could Master Qi, who is digging and searching, get such treatment?
The arrangement was over, she was bored in the office and looked out the window quietly, her eyes slipped to the corner of the Wande Firm's signboard, she had no time to think about it when she was busy, and the messy thoughts kept coming to herself when she was free.

Suddenly, a rickshaw driver who was waiting for passengers across the street suddenly fell down.She was startled and continued to read.

Jiangzheng Street deserves to be bustling. People fainted when they saw it. People occupied the route of rickshaws and invaded the center of the road. I don’t know where there are so many people. It seems that people who are still walking outside Jiangcheng gather here, leaving only a narrow road. There are cars passing by and honking their horns. Some of the various shops on this street gather at the door of the shop, and some squeeze into the crowd, pushing each other and chattering. It seems that there will be no place where people can stand. Then, the two policemen blew their whistles and waved their batons, like a pair of dexterous monkeys.

The policemen tried their best to line up the crowd, proficiently breathed out the people who fell on the ground. They looked at each other and shook their heads. After getting up, they had to maintain order, disperse the onlookers, and let the cars pass.

It took a long time before an ambulance came to take the man away.After the crowd dispersed, shopkeeper Cai invited the familiar policeman into the store for tea, and inquired about the life and death of the young driver who just fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, a policeman said indifferently: "This is the fourth person who died of heat on this long street in the past few days. We are no longer surprised!"

Zhilan heard a "thump" in her heart at the stairs.

"If you want to make a living, what can you do? I think I'm unlucky! This damn weather, the air is fermenting! It's hot!" another policeman complained.

After drinking the tea invited by Shopkeeper Cai, the two elder brothers left the shop with their batons in hand.

It is said that more and more people died on the streets, or died of heat in houses like kang stoves in the streets and alleys.The real consequence is that rice prices are still rising in panic.The shopkeepers panicked that there was no business, the salaried employees panicked that they could not make ends meet to buy rice, and the housewives panicked that a smart woman could not survive without rice... Panic spread rapidly like a plague, permeating everyone's hearts and eyes, irritating people's actions.

Only Li Shaowen didn't care. He liked the panic atmosphere the most. He took out the second batch of rice grains and sold them at a higher price. He was probably the only one making a lot of money in the entire Jiangcheng business.

Jiangcheng is a city that prospers because of commerce, and commerce is the foundation of a city. The mourning of the merchants finally caught the attention of Commander Zhang. He gathered prominent store managers and factory owners and held an urgent meeting. The first topic was It is the establishment of the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber of commerce plans to adopt a statutory committee system, and members, directors, and supervisors are all easy to elect. Only the most important position of the president has disagreement.

Some people recommended Zhou Muqing from Wande Company, while others recommended Li Shaowen from Zhihe Company.The discussion ended amidst a lot of quarrels. Commander Zhang intended to push Zhou Muqing, but Li Shaowen also had many supporters. It was impossible for him to use force or power to interfere in business affairs.

He pondered for a long time and said: "The position of president can be temporarily vacant. Since there are two candidates, Zhou Muqing and Li Shaowen, both of them are the directors for the time being. I hope the two can put aside their disputes and contribute to disaster relief."

The words have come to this point, and it is meaningless to fight again.The next topic turned to how to provide disaster relief.

"Nowadays, refugees are gathering in crowds, and unemployment is increasing. Before our Zhihe store, beggars on the road entered the store several times to harass customers. Everyone sighed and cursed. I think it is better to set up a shelter." Li Shaowen sighed.

"Well, a decree has been promulgated at present, and the higher authorities are asking all regions to send refugees to work or teach crafts, and to find ways to reduce unemployment and increase production. Jiangcheng will naturally respond positively. We are already looking for a place for this." Commander Zhang nodded, and the conversation began. Turn, "Of course, in addition to our responsibilities, you, as good citizens of Jiangcheng, also have your own responsibilities!"

Everyone kept quiet and listened carefully to what was going on. It turned out that they were waiting here, and what Commander Zhang said was self-evident.Mu Qing took a look at Zhilan. When he looked at her, she was changing to a more conservative sitting posture. As one of the few female representatives of Jiangcheng Firm, she was young and beautiful.When she first entered the conference hall of Commander Zhang's mansion, many curious eyes looked at her.Seeing that she was contemplating reservedly, Mu Qing couldn't help but look away, and met Li Shaowen's eyes.

Mu Qing could tell that he was also paying close attention to Zhi Lan.The two eyes entangled for a while, and each took it back.

"I have an idea." Commander Zhang said, "But we still need the support of all the managers. Now the rice price in Jiangcheng is high, and the common people have no means of living in times of catastrophe. If you want to appease the hearts of the people, I am afraid that the government will come forward to provide emergency relief. The so-called emergency Relief requires all of you to help set up a porridge factory to provide porridge. Therefore, I am here to thank the people of Jiangcheng for saving the people from the fire!"

As soon as this remark came out, people talked about it. It turned out that they were asking for money. If it can be implemented, it is indeed a solution.
