Seeing Jiang Ran's refusal so simply, the old man frowned and said displeased: "How is it possible that everyone has finished eating when you all have a small bag?"

Jiang Ran replied calmly, "Yes, a small bag is not enough. Auntie, since your daughter is a high-ranking official, and I happen to have an uncle who works in the military, why don't you lend me some food when I go to the provincial capital?

, how about I ask uncle to pay you three times the amount?"

Jiang Ran threw back all the old man's previous remarks with a few words.

When it came to supplies, the old man instinctively refused and looked at Jiang Ran with disdain, "This is not possible. There are so many people in the provincial capital. Where can I find you? Besides, I have no idea whether you can find that uncle."

Jiang Ran smiled and replied calmly, "Yes, Auntie. There are so many people in the provincial capital. Where can I find you? Besides, I have to tell you whether you can find your daughter."

Hearing this, Ji Qinglin and Yu Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh out loud, but they were embarrassed to laugh out loud and felt a little uncomfortable.

Ji Qingcheng also raised the corners of his lips, and Guan Song looked at Jiang Ran with admiration. He didn't realize that Sister Jiang was so aggressive.

"You scold me."

Hearing the whispers of several people, the old man also realized that Jiang Ran was mocking her. He pointed at her and couldn't say anything for a long time. His hands were shaking and his face was red from holding back.

But she had no choice. There were three young men across from her, and they only had their son. They were no match for their strength, so she had to say displeasedly: "Why don't you just have some sweet potatoes? It's so petty to hide them like this."

Jiang Ran responded with a smile like a repeater, "Isn't it just a little food? It's so petty to hide it like this."

"you……"

The old man was gasping for breath, and the precious grandson beside him started shouting loudly again when he saw that his sweet potatoes were dry.

"Dried sweet potatoes, I want dried sweet potatoes."

"Grandma, I want to eat dried sweet potatoes. I want to eat dried sweet potatoes."

…

The child's screams resounded through the shop again. The old man was already upset because of his grandson, and now he was upset by the noise. He hit the child directly on the back, and the child immediately started to cry.

"Mom, why did you hit him? It's not him who provoked you."

The woman hurriedly checked the child's back. The child's soft back was very red. The woman's eyes were red, and she took the opportunity to scold him: "How could you do such a heavy hand? Look, his back is all red."

"Why are you yelling? You are taking the opportunity to retaliate against me, right?"

The old man was already angry, but now that his daughter-in-law, who had the lowest status, said this, he couldn't help but burst into anger.

The woman was not ready to endure it anymore, so the two of them began to scold each other. The child was frightened by the two venting their emotions and cried even louder.

The scene was very lively.

Seeing a few people watching the show across from him, the man felt that he could no longer hold on to his dignity, so he slapped the table hard, "That's enough. Don't you think others haven't seen enough of the show?"

The man's furious roar made the three of them fall silent immediately. Fear flashed across the faces of the old man and the woman, and the child stopped crying and looked at him timidly.

Seeing that he had calmed down the situation, the man consciously regained his face, and his anger subsided slightly. He glanced at Jiang Ran and the others with unkind expressions, and chose to avoid them due to the difference in strength.

He said sternly: "Pack your things and go next door to avoid crowding with others."

The four of them hurriedly packed up their things and went to the store next door. As they were leaving, the old man gave Jiang Ran an unhappy look, and the man looked at the four of them with a very unhappy look.

Seeing the resentful looks in the family's eyes, Yu Xiaowan frowned, "Why does this family still blame us?"

Ji Qinglin said disdainfully: "It's just my fault that I didn't take advantage. I'm a weird family, so we probably won't see each other again."

Guan Song was a little worried, "The old woman said that her daughter is a high-ranking official in the provincial capital, so there won't be any trouble in the future, right? If they really come to us, we can't deal with the army."

Ji Qingcheng shook his head, "The troops are coming to cover up the water and the soil. The current situation is turbulent. Senior government officials are of no use. The army is the force. There is no need to swallow your anger."

"Ahem." Jiang Ran coughed lightly and hurriedly explained: "What, my uncle from the military department is fake."

Ji Qinglin laughed, looked at Jiang Ran and raised his eyebrows, "Sister Jiang Ran, don't worry, you don't have it, we do. My uncle is in the military headquarters, but I don't know if he is in the provincial capital or not."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran, Yu Xiaowan and Guan Song were all surprised.

Yu Xiaowan asked: "Do you still have an uncle in the army?"

"Yes." Ji Qinglin nodded, "But my brother retired from the army and we haven't seen each other for many years. I don't know if my uncle is doing well."

Guan Song was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't expect the two little brothers to be so secretive and have a strong family background."

After chatting for a few words, the noise started again next door for some reason. The cries of the children were mixed with the yelling and cursing between the women. It sounded even more lively than the one where they were just now.

The commotion continued for more than half an hour before they stopped again.

At around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the blazing high temperature began to drop, and Jiang Ran and others were on the road again. The family of four next door didn't look very good. They waited until they were far away before they came out of the store and continued on their way.

The temperature dropped very quickly today, and it became cooler within half an hour, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

Feeling the warm wind blowing across her face, Yu Xiaowan said in surprise: "The temperature seems to have dropped a lot today, and the wind is not so hot."

The temperature in the city is much hotter than in the suburbs next to the highway, but the wind blowing today is not very hot, but has a slight coolness.

Guan Song said with a smile: "Could it be that the hot weather is about to pass? If so, it will be comfortable. The high temperature during this period is really torture."

"This kind of hot weather is really not a life for humans."

Ji Qinglin's dreams were all about winter. After experiencing such hot weather, he suddenly felt that the winter in the north, which was tens of degrees below zero, was not unbearable.

After all, you can light a fire to keep warm when the weather is cold, but in this hot weather, even if there is no power outage, the air conditioner will not be very effective. If there is a complete power outage like this, people will die one by one.

Along the way, they saw many people who died of heatstroke. Some were just dumped in the fields on the roadside and left to rot and stink. It was so miserable.

"hope so."

Ji Qingcheng also sighed, even if the high temperature did not pass, but the temperature could drop to normal at night, life would be much better.

Jiang Ran didn't interrupt. This kind of abnormal coolness occasionally appeared in previous lives, but every time the temperature dropped in the evening, it meant that the temperature tomorrow would rise by one or two degrees.

Thinking of this, she said: "Let's hurry up and get to the safety zone of the provincial capital as soon as possible."
