Chapter 20 The Fourth Master Xia Returns

Xia Ting was worried about the situation outside, so he casually replied: "Let's red date porridge."

After saying this, he quickly followed: "What's going on outside? How is the situation now?"

"What are you worried about this?" When the old lady heard Xia Ting woke up, she was still concerned about what was happening outside, and she couldn't help but complain, but she didn't hide it from it.

Such a big thing has spread all over Zizhou City now, and everyone in the mansion knows it. It is not a shameful thing, so there is no need to let Xia Ting know about it.

So, before Baoqing answered, the old lady sighed and explained: "There was an earthquake in Heshui County and Lin County. The mountains adjacent to the two counties were washed away half of the mountain because of the heavy rain. Now the rocks have almost buried the farmland and people in the two villages. The earthquakes in these two counties have the strongest earthquake, so the losses are the most serious. The nearby counties have also suffered disasters. The situation is better than these two counties, but they are not optimistic. Your second uncle came back in the morning and took away the spare quilt in the mansion, and left in a hurry. I don't know what's going on now."

Earth is moving and heavy rain, and rocks are rolling down.

The situation was similar to what I expected. The heavy rain outside had not stopped yet, and Xia Ting could hear it through the thick curtains.

The rain has not stopped, and disaster relief matters are not convenient. Moreover, the entire village has been buried, and there are probably only a few who can be rescued in the end.

Thinking of this, Xia Ting sighed slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Grandma, I want to go out to see outside the city."

"That won't work, it's still raining outside!" How could the old lady let Xia Ting torture? If it was a good day, she could take a look from afar, but now there is a heavy rain outside, how could Xia Ting's body stand it?

Xia Ting also knew that he could not be willful, so he slowed down and said, "When the rain stops, I'll go and take a look. It happened a few days ago, because of the obedient book, I was curious for a while, and asked the rice shop to stock up some food, maybe my second uncle can use it."

"You." Hearing Xia Ting say this, the old lady sighed softly and continued, "Your is yours, and you don't need to post it to your second uncle. However, in this situation, after the weather turns clear, you have to give porridge, otherwise the villagers in each county will have no harvest or home, and there will be no way out."

While the old lady said, she was also calculating in her mind how much food she had in her house. If she really gave porridge, they could not be too stingy.

In the afternoon, the rain turned lighter, and in the evening, the rain finally stopped.

Master Ding finally hurried back from Liuzhou, whipping his horse all the way, and he returned in a very embarrassed manner.

When I came back, I didn’t have time to go back to the mansion, so I just sent someone to report the letter and went directly to the government office.

Master Ding is the Salt Transport Department of Ziliu and the local internal affairs of the prefectures and prefectures. Under normal circumstances, he does not need to intervene.

But if something happens to the prefecture and state, he will not do anything at all, and then it is probably not far from leaving the official uniform.

Since receiving the letter in the early morning, Master Ding rushed back quickly, and it was difficult for him to ride a horse all the way in the rain. After he came back, he couldn't even drink ginger soup, so he had to go to work.

Mrs. Ding was worried and prepared clothes specially, and Jiang Tang ordered the servant to send them there.

It was getting late, and it was not convenient for Xia Ting to go out, so even if the rain stopped, she didn't say she wanted to go out.

After returning to his yard, Xia Ting began to count his private property.

Something happened to many counties and villages under Zizhou. It is estimated that the food in the nearby areas is not easy to harvest. Moreover, during the autumn harvest, there are no one who is affected by the disaster, so the price of food must be increased.

Xia Ting is not afraid of price increases, she is not short of money, what she is afraid of is...

If you can’t buy it even if you have money, it would be embarrassing.

Xia Ting was counting when he heard a cheerful footsteps coming.

At first, Xia Ting thought it was Ding Yanrong.

But the other party's voice came one step earlier than the footsteps, and it was Baolu, who had always been lively: "Girl, girl, the Fourth Master is back, the Fourth Master is back!"

My father is back?

Xia Ting was counting the silver notes, and after reacting, he threw down the silver notes, carried his skirt and ran out!

After rushing out of the room, I saw Baolu walking around quickly. Baoqing followed behind him in a hurry, but he did not see his father.

Xia Ting was not disappointed either. After his father came back, he must go to greet his grandmother first before he could come to his side.

Xia Ting couldn't wait, so he ran out of the yard with his skirt. Halfway through the run, he saw his father rushing towards him.

Mr. Xia was tall and strong, wearing a black robe, which made him look a little cold in temperament, but the other party's eyebrows and eyes were sparse and his face was sparse. When his eyes were not smiling, they seemed to have a smile on their faces, giving people a feeling of being easy to get along with and particularly kind.

The other party has been walking outside for many years, experienced wind, frost, rain, and dew, but has not taken care of it deliberately, so the marks at the corners of his eyes are a little heavy. When he doesn't smile, there are already two. If he smiles, the marks will be deeper.

Seeing Xia Ting jogging all the way with her skirt, Master Xia was heartbroken and took Xia Ting over with a few big steps.

Although it is not easy for a girl to be too close to her father when her family grows up, Mr. Xia Si only has such a daughter. In his eyes, her daughter is a weak little girl and a child who will never grow up.

So, he opened his arms and raised Xia Ting directly.

It’s just that he can’t throw it over like he did when he was a child and then take it back. Master Xia still feels a little regretful.

Moreover, when the girl's family grows up, she wants to be ashamed and really throws her away. I guess the girl will be having a lot of trouble for a long time.

"Dad." Xia Ting, who had not seen him for a long time and was still pretending to be in his heart, called out in a choked voice after being lifted up by Master Xia Si.

Mr. Xia Si thought the girl was afraid, so he hurriedly put the person down, smiled with his eyebrows and gentle manners, touched the girl's head, and asked softly: "Have you been wronged, Dad?"

He was choked when he heard Xia Ting's voice. Master Xia Si felt that his heart was really going to be broken.

"No, I just miss my father." There are so many people around me, and many things, and Xia Ting is not easy to say directly.

On the way here just now, Xia Ting asked 996 if he could disclose its existence.

996 said that if Xia Ting thinks that this person can be trusted, he can reveal it.

But the other party just knows its existence. 996 shows that it is impossible for it to communicate with the other party.

It would be great if she could reveal it. Xia Ting didn't want to keep such a big secret in her heart. She was afraid that she would not be able to stand it one day.

It would be great if she went to check in for a picture of suffering of sentient beings. It would be great if someone helped her share the burden and could help herself to relieve herself by the way.

Xia Ting couldn't worry about this person.
