Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s-Chapter 619 - 612: Trapped

Sisi remembered the night before Tian Xinhua went to the front line when he asked her, "Ah Nan, I won’t be by you and Du Du’s side, but you won’t be in any danger, right?"

"No, even if the Ice Age comes, Du Du and I will be fine." Sisi replied this way. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At that time, Tian Xinhua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing her words, like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and then he went to the flood relief front line with peace of mind.

Perhaps Tian Xinhua guessed something?

Sisi always felt that Tian Xinhua’s look at her that day was a bit strange, but she didn’t dwell on it for long. No matter what Tian Xinhua guessed, as long as he didn’t ask, it was fine.

In fact, Tian Xinhua only had a vague suspicion and didn’t think about it in terms of space, but he could confirm that Sisi must have some means of survival, which he thought of last time when they were air-raided in Hong Kong.

What aroused his suspicion was that after Sisi was injured, she went madly to the second floor to get Du Du from under the bed. Actually, she could have told him where Du Du was, and there was no need to go herself, so her going meant Du Du wasn’t under the bed. Sisi needed a secluded place to release Du Du.

Moreover, given Sisi’s regard for Du Du, how could she leave Du Du alone under the bed?

In terms of safety, the wine cellar is much safer than under the bed. Since Sisi didn’t put Du Du in the wine cellar, it indicates she must have put Du Du in a safer place, and that place wouldn’t be under the bed!

That place must be somewhere only Sisi can access!

It has to be said, Tian Xinhua’s reasoning ability is indeed very strong, he had pretty much figured out the space, but he wasn’t completely sure until he directly asked Sisi this time and received her answer.

It was also because of this that he could go to the front line to command with complete peace of mind, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Sisi and their child even if he lost his job.

Everything he did was for his family. If Ah Nan and Du Du were in danger, what meaning would his hard struggle have?

The family building in the City Committee Mansion is four stories high, the first floor has already been submerged by the flood. At the rate the water is rising, Sisi estimates that the second floor will soon be lost too.

Most of the men are on the flood relief front line, and left in the family building are mostly elderly, women, and children, trembling with fear at these terrifying floods.

Sisi’s house is on the third floor, currently still safe. Listening to the cries and screams from below, she couldn’t help but sigh, went to the kitchen to fill the rice bin, and also took out some long-lasting vegetables like potatoes, eggs, sausages, pumpkins, cucumbers, etc.

She also took out quite a few biscuits and candies. After organizing the house, she took Du Du and started going downstairs.

Given the current situation, the rescue might not come quickly, before the liberation army arrives, they have to take care of themselves.

And as the wife of the head of F City, naturally, she should stand up as the leader and lead all the families through the difficulties at hand.

Although she wasn’t very keen on standing out!

The floodwater had slowly seeped to the second floor, and there were screams from women and cries from children everywhere.

"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!" Sisi cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly.

It was not until the fifth shout that the panicked people quieted down. Seeing it was the secretary’s wife, they all seemed to find a backbone and gathered around, asking Sisi what to do.

"Now hurry back to your homes, bring out the food and some commonly used medicines, and follow me to the third floor, everyone move quickly, the second floor will soon be flooded," Sisi said calmly.

The women who were crying before seemed to wake up from a dream after hearing Sisi’s words, quickly returned to their homes, and started packing up.

The families on the first floor regretted not taking their food away at the first moment.

Sisi arranged for the people from the first floor to go to the third floor and those from the second floor to go to the fourth floor.

"Now is a critical time, we must work together to get through the current difficulties. To prevent the men on the front line from worrying about us, we must take care of ourselves," Sisi loudly encouraged the families to muster the courage to fight the flood. People’s potential is infinite, the most important thing is courage, as long as there is courage, no difficulty needs to be feared.

Sisi entrusted the fourth-floor responsibilities to the Mayor’s wife while she was in charge of the third floor. She suggested that everyone pool their food together to have shared meals, which would not only save food but also conserve fuel.

Some families weren’t very willing, as they had relatively more food, thinking that if they kept it for their own family, it would last a long time, but if they handed it over, wouldn’t they be losing out?

Two families were unwilling to hand over their food, one was the family of the office director and the other was the deputy mayor’s family. These two families were neighbors and usually had a good relationship. Since Sisi rarely visited F City, these two wives were typically the praised subjects in the City Committee Mansion.

"Are you unwilling to hand it over?" Sisi asked coldly.

"Mr. He, it’s not that we are unwilling to hand it over, mainly because our elders are older and not in good health, and need finer food, they can’t handle shared meals." The two wives used the same excuse.

"I will arrange special meals for the elderly and children, the younger ones among us will eat shared meals. I already explained this very clearly, didn’t you hear me clearly?" Sisi’s lips curled into a sneer.

The director’s wife, having slightly thinner skin, didn’t dare to oppose Sisi any further. Just as she was about to agree, the deputy mayor’s wife interjected first.

"Mr. He, my health isn’t great either, so it would be better if we manage for ourselves."

"I think my previous message didn’t get through to you. I’m informing you to hand over the food, not asking for your opinion." Sisi spoke before pulling out a dagger and throwing it directly at a hanging potted plant in the deputy mayor’s living room, embedding it firmly in the pot.

"Do you understand now? My patience is limited, and if I’m in a bad mood, I can’t guarantee what I might do."

This is precisely why Sisi disliked taking the lead in such thankless tasks. There are always a few selfish people in the world, and she is the least patient, so following Shangguan’s method is quicker.

Everything speaks with fists!

She signaled Du Du to go over and retrieve the knife. Du Du ran over with a hop, effortlessly pulled out the dagger, skillfully twirled it and jogged back to hand it to Sisi.

Everyone was stunned by the formidable Sisi and her son. The two wives were dumbfounded, and as Sisi waited impatiently, giving a snort, the wives finally reacted, nodding rapidly like chickens pecking rice, "Understood, the food is all in the kitchen, we’ll bring it over shortly."

Sisi curled her lips in satisfaction and appointed these two wives the task of collecting food.

"Not a single grain left behind, collect everything and bring it together, is that understood?"

"Understood!"

The two wives answered in unison, feeling much more at ease, planning to ensure that all the hidden food from other families is collected later.

Hmm, if they can’t keep their food, neither can anyone else!
