Chapter 339: Try your best and do your best
News about the epidemic continued to come in, but just like in the previous life, no one cared.
Everyone thought that this was just one of many infectious diseases, and it would not spread so quickly, would not be so lethal, or last so long.
It will be under control soon.
Jiang Baige called Bai Yunqing and asked her to buy some masks, but Bai Yunqing said that Jiang Baige was thinking too much and it was not that serious.
——Same as in the previous life.
Jiang Baige didn't say anything more, but just sent a few boxes of masks back. She knew that soon, not only her family, but also many people around them would need them.
In addition to sending it to her own home, Jiang Baige also sent a box to Lin Xingran.
Lin Xingran originally said no, after all, the shipping fee was too expensive, and Hong Kong City could buy it now. Jiang Baige then said, OK, I'll send you some of your favorite food. Then Lin Xingran couldn't refuse.
Although she can't do anything remarkable, she will still try her best to take into account the safety of those around her.
So I also asked Xin Zhiping and Mo Songru.
Mo Songru said that she is just starting her career and does not plan to go back home for the New Year. And given her age and the fact that she just quit her job, if she goes back home she will definitely be talked about: either urging her to get married or asking about her work.
After all these years, she was tired of arguing.
It would be better not to go back and let each other go.
"I'm just looking after your house for you. There are so many people who break into houses during the Chinese New Year. And even if this house is empty, you still have to pay the rent."
When Mo Songru said this, there was no trace of regret in his eyes due to the irreconcilable conflicts with his family and his family's misunderstanding, which made Jiang Baige feel relieved.
Of course, you are lucky to have a home.
But if not, why can't they create a new home themselves?
"Yes." Jiang Baige said with a smile, "You are a home blogger. Who would not feel at ease if you take care of the house?"
In fact, Jiang Baige was very happy that Mo Songru stayed in Anjing.
Because she bought a lot of supplies here, these were certainly not for herself.
If Mo Songru also wanted to go home, Jiang Baige might implement another plan: send food and daily necessities back home and stay in Anjing herself.
In the early stages of the epidemic, logistics became slow or even completely disrupted.
If she wanted to deliver supplies safely and quickly to those in need, it would be much easier to send them from Anjing than from her hometown, a small 18th-tier city.
Now that Mo Songru stays in Anjing, Jiang Baige can return home as originally planned.
Before returning home, Jiang Baige bought a lot of food, including frozen foods, including meat, frozen dumplings, and frozen fruits and vegetables. She also bought many snacks and milk that can be stored at room temperature.
The three of them were not very strict about the division of the refrigerator.
By the time Mo Songru discovered Jiang Baige's shopping spree, the refrigerator was already stuffed full, like a stomach that was almost about to burst.
"You bought so much food... can you finish it?"
"It's the New Year, so it's always a good idea to buy more things." Jiang Baige lied, "If I come back late, you can help me eat them. These are mainly refrigerated. If they expire, they will be wasted..."
"Good fellow, if you're afraid it will expire, just buy less...By the way, when are you going home?"
"I'll be back next week."
"Then why do you buy so much food?"
Mo Songru showed a doting yet helpless smile towards the little sister, and Jiang Baige stuck out his tongue and got away with it.
She would never say: These were originally bought for you to eat!
Just like she couldn't tell her in advance: When the epidemic breaks out, I will have a lot of things to do that I need your help with.
The Chinese New Year in 2020 is already early, New Year’s Day has already passed, and there are less than twenty days left until the Chinese New Year.
Originally, Jiang Baige did not have any public holidays in her first year of work, but after she joined the company, she basically took the initiative to fill in whenever someone was needed on weekends, and unknowingly accumulated a lot of public holidays.
If the vacation time is not enough, she will use personal leave to make up for it. Anyway, her reason is very simple: "The air tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush are expensive. I saw the price drop that day and bought one immediately."
Xin Zhiping also plans to go home for the New Year.
But she left later than Jiang Baige, and returned almost at the end of the year.
By the time Xin Zhiping got home, everyone had already realized that this round of epidemic was not simple. She wanted to buy masks but couldn't find any, so Jiang Baige asked her to take as many as she wanted from the stock in the living room.
Only then did Xin Zhiping and Mo Songru begin to understand: What was this life-saving thing that Jiang Baige had been frantically "buying, buying, buying" and "hoarding, hoarding" for in the past few months?
But they couldn’t figure out: How did Jiang Baige know that such a serious thing would happen later?
At this moment, Jiang Baige has returned home.
Faced with her daughter's "foresight", Bai Yunxi was so proud that her mouth was almost grinning to the back of her head.
Not only their own family, but also the relatives and friends around them, as well as their parents' colleagues and neighbors, they will try their best to help in any way they can.
Almost everyone who sees Bai Yunxi will say: "You really raised a good daughter."
But for Jiang Baige, this is far from enough.
After the outbreak, the whole country fell into panic. She thought that she had experienced such a thing once and would not be disturbed again.
She was wrong.
When countless tragedies - even tragedies she had witnessed in her previous life - flooded into her world again and again, she only hated that there was so little she could do.
She called Lin Xingran and asked her what was going on over there.
Lin Xingran was very grateful to her and said thank you for her mask and food, which allowed her to survive in the small rental house for the time being.
Then Jiang Baige got straight to the point and told her plan.
"I want to donate supplies to the disaster area in the name of 'Nu Shu Fang'. I will track and explain the whole process in the official account, just like the previous Mu Zi incident. In addition, I will also post some help information, and if the other party really needs it, we can also donate point-to-point."
This proposal was approved by Lin Xingran, but Lin Xingran was a little puzzled: "Just donate in your name, I... didn't do anything... and do I need to publish it on the official account?"
"We all studied Chinese. Do I need to elaborate on the power of words and propaganda at this critical moment?" Jiang Baige smiled. "You thought I was trying to get you to share the good name, but why didn't you think that you might also share the bad name with me?"
After all, the Internet is like this - no matter what you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and think you have ulterior motives.
And you don't even know what's behind the network cable.
What Jiang Baige didn't tell Lin Xingran was that she hoped that through her previous efforts, people would see the role and power of women in facing this sudden disaster.
She doesn't want them to be slandered, erased, or even praised by a different gender when it comes to "rewarding" because they "only talk about dedication."
Lin Xingran didn't know this, but still chose to say: "It's my honor to share your infamy."
