As soon as he reached the door, he heard laughter inside.

Among them, his mother Yu Aunt's voice is particularly obvious.

"Oh, this meat is really delicious! No, I'm so spicy, give me a bite of that... Coke!"

"Can't you eat slower?" It was his father's voice.

"It's so delicious! I don't know when our family Li Jin will come back. When I learn, I will cook it for him."

At this time, Gu Wanshuang's voice sounded: "When Li Jin comes back, you can just bring him to my place to eat. The pot here is convenient."

"That's true, then I'll buy meat next time!"

Li Jin was slightly surprised.

His mother used to be very budget-conscious, even reluctant to buy more rice noodles.

Now that she is so bold to say that she came to buy meat, it seems that life at home is indeed much better than before.

This should all be thanks to Gu Wanshuang, right?

The door of the Su family was not closed tightly. Zhou Yingyan saw a figure standing outside the door and asked, "Who is outside?"

When he shouted, everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Seeing this, Li Jin had no choice but to walk in.

"Son, you're back!" Aunt Li was very happy, "We were talking about you just now."

"That's just right, let's eat together." Gu Wanshuang said with a smile.

The boss got up and went to the kitchen to bring a new pair of bowls and chopsticks.

The third child moved a chair and put it down beside Aunt Yu.

Li Jin came over, nodded to Gu Wanshuang and said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

"You're welcome." Gu Wanshuang said, "You must be hungry when you come back from the town. Eat quickly, and everyone should eat too. There are still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen!"

Aunt Li was busy making the sauce for Li Jin. Li Jin had never eaten hot pot before, so he thought it was a novelty. He was a little cautious at first, but everyone got together lively, and gradually he relaxed and started chatting with everyone .

"I heard from our husband that there seems to be a drought in Tongzhou." Li Jin frowned and said, "The crops in the field have been sun-dried, and the river has dried up. The people are miserable and can't afford to eat. I guess Soon there will be many people fleeing the famine."

"Really?" Wang Daqiang said, "Isn't Tongzhou very close to our place? No wonder it doesn't rain much here this year. Fortunately, it hasn't reached the level of drought."

"That's right!" Aunt Li said, "Then, many of the disaster victims must have escaped to our place, right? Oh, it's so pitiful."

It's a pity that they are all ordinary people. The drought is a major event, and there are countless victims. They can't help much if they want to.

Gu Wanshuang also sighed in her heart.

In ancient times, when encountering such natural disasters, the common people would definitely suffer.

Even if they fled to other places, I'm afraid they can't be controlled, and they may even be driven away.

However, if they really had disaster victims here, then her snack space would come in handy.

"I heard that the government's disaster relief funds have not been allocated yet." Li Jin had an angry look on his face, "Even if the common people wait for it in a while, they still don't know how much they will be stolen by the corrupt officials in the middle! These people only care about themselves Self-interest, regardless of the safety of the people, is really not worthy of the royal salary!"

After he finished speaking, he found that except for Gu Wanshuang, everyone else was staring at him dumbfounded.

He seemed to realize that he had said too much, and he was a little embarrassed: "I'll just say it casually."

"Son, you can't talk nonsense about this outside!" Aunt Yu said worriedly, "What should I do if I offend someone?"

Li Jin didn't speak, and took a big gulp of Coke.

"I've seen it before, Li Jin is definitely not an ordinary person." Zhou Yingyan smiled and said, "Li Jin, study hard, and get a good reputation in the future!"

"I will." Li Jin squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, "If I become an official, I will definitely not let the people suffer again."

"If you become an official, your parents will enjoy the blessings with you!" Aunt Yu said with a smile.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, how is the academy you study in now?" Gu Wanshuang asked, "After a while, I also want to send the cubs to study in the town."

"It's pretty good." Li Jin said, "The masters in the academy are very responsible and knowledgeable, and the food and accommodation conditions are okay."

"What about the fee?"

"If food and housing are included, it costs two taels of silver a month, and each student has to bring five catties of rice to school every month."

Gu Wanshuang nodded.

The fee is not high, but it is really not a small burden for ordinary people, especially for farmers like them.

It seems that Li Zhu and Aunt Li really gritted their teeth and sent Li Jin to school.

Fortunately, Li Jin was up to the challenge.

But she believes that her cubs will also be up to date.

"These children in your family are grown up, and it is indeed time to send them to school." Li Zhu said, "Getting fame is secondary. Reading and reading is not a bad thing."

"That's right, when we move to the town, I'll send them to the academy."

"Are you going to move to the town?" Aunt Yu asked in surprise, "When?"

"It's not decided." Gu Wanshuang said with a smile, "I don't have enough money right now, wait until I save some money."

Aunt Yu seemed a little disappointed, but soon, she accepted it.

After all, Gu Wanshuang is so powerful, there must be a wider world waiting for her outside.

After eating, everyone cleaned up the dishes and went home to sleep.

Gu Wanshuang took the cubs to sit in the yard watching the stars.

"Stepmother, is the drought really terrible?" The second child couldn't help asking, remembering what they said during the meal just now.

"Of course." Gu Wanshuang said, "If it doesn't rain, the crops in the field will not be able to survive. Without crops, there will be no food. If people have no food to eat, it will be terrible."

"No food?" Lao Wu's eyes widened in horror, "It's terrible!"

The boss vaguely recalled the days when they were abused by their stepmother and couldn't get enough to eat every day.

And now...they just ate a delicious hot pot, with meat and vegetables, and they were extremely happy.

"It's okay!" The second child closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. "When I go to sleep tonight, I will communicate with the Jade Emperor and ask him to tell the Dragon King to make it rain soon!"

"You, you." Gu Wanshuang tugged at his ears, "Just talk about these things."

"real!"

……

Two days later, news of the drought in Tongzhou had already spread.

The disaster relief funds from the imperial court still haven't arrived, and the "dragon king's rain" that the second child said has not come true. The people in Tongzhou are forced to leave their hometown and go to other places to seek a way out.

Gu Wanshuang came to the town again.

In the past two days, many people have come to Danan Village to buy beauty juice from her.

It can be seen that her beauty juice has already gained a certain reputation in the town.

She is going to open a shop in the town.

Although the money on hand is not enough to buy a house, but it should be enough to buy a small shop.
