Chapter 318

Late at night, husband and wife met in the space.

Pei Jing asked Zhi Xia, "What's going on with your fourth brother? He's been home for a month and I haven't heard him talk about getting married. The day before yesterday he told me his injury was better and he wanted to return to the team. But yesterday he said he wanted to take a few more days off to get married?"

Because the call was rushed, and with so many other things going on recently, she hadn't explained it very clearly.

Thinking about fourth brother's cluelessness when it came to relationships, Zhi Xia couldn't help laughing out loud.

After Pei Jing heard the whole story from Zhi Xia, he was also at a loss for words about An ZhiAng's reaction.

Grandma was completely right, this was purely self-inflicted misery.

When others were pursuing him he wasn't happy. He just had to take the initiative to chase her before she became fragrant.

"Right, I haven't asked about you yet. The floods were over a month ago, why are you still so busy? From what Grandpa and Grandma said, fourth brother's wedding is set for the next few days. Will you be able to make it back?"

When it came to this, Zhi Xia wanted to complain. She had originally been transferred back here because it was close and convenient to go home.

But when the special forces team was first formed, he was busy those first few months, going home less than once a month, and always in a rush when he did.

Now it had been several years, and he still rarely came home.

"I'm sorry." Pei Jing also knew he was too busy and seldom had time to accompany her and the children.

Other than those two words, he didn't seem to be able to find a way to make up for her. The only thing he could do was explain to her why he couldn't go home. "Zhi Xia, there are many towns around that were hit by the disaster. The reservoirs and sluice gates were washed away. One village close by was completely washed away, and the crops were also knocked over and collapsed by the heavy rain. Even worse, some were drowned directly by the rainwater. It looks like harvest season but there's no harvest at all. Recently, the troops have been helping the disaster areas harvest crops and rebuild. We'll probably be even busier repairing dams."

Zhi Xia had also heard about this from the news. According to Hu Zhou, grain prices on the black market had recently skyrocketed and were very difficult to buy.

Because most of the newly harvested grain this year had gone bad, sprouted, or had other problems. Very little was completely fine.

The only consolation was that the affected areas were only the rural areas around Jin City, so grain could still be obtained from other regions.

Soon after the rain, she had Hu Zhou slow down the fabric business and gradually start selling off grain instead. But she didn't dare go too far, and the prices were only slightly higher than the state stores.

Any lower, and people might become suspicious about the source of her grain.

But as she said, grain was a consumable item. She had already done her best to get as much grain as possible into the market while still protecting herself. But for Jin City's huge population, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing the worried look on Pei Jing's face, Zhi Xia asked him, "Do you need my help? I can't do much with other things, but I can provide grain and supplies. Let me know."
