Chapter 695: Husband and Wife Cause and Effect
Lin Yu reached out and picked up the cigarette box on the desk, lit a cigarette and continued, "Go home and tell our mother privately that many companies and people outside are eyeing this place, and they all want to get the scarce food and meat from us. We can't open this hole now, otherwise a lot of companies and people will come in immediately."
At this point, Lin Yu lowered his voice and continued, "In fact, this year's tight supply of materials is just a precursor. By next year, not only will the supply of unplanned materials be tight, but the supply within the plan will also be not optimistic. If things go wrong, the amount of food rations supplied to all urban residents, workers, and cadres who eat rationed food will be reduced."
Su Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise after hearing this, and asked nervously: "Why is there such a tight supply situation? I heard from Xiao Li in the office that the monthly rations of urban residents, workers, and cadres have been adjusted. The original monthly supply of 20% flour and 10% rice has now been reduced to 20% flour and rice in total, and the rest is coarse grains."
Lin Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is just the beginning. The real disaster will begin next year. Think about it, shouldn't there be frequent thunderstorms near the capital at this time of year in previous years? But has there been a real heavy rain in the capital since the beginning of summer?"
If it weren't for Lin Yu's reminder, Su Yu really wouldn't have noticed it. After she frowned and thought about it carefully, it was really as Lin Yu said. There have been basically few rains in the capital this summer, let alone the downpours in previous years. People in the city probably didn't pay much attention to this, and many residents were even secretly rejoicing. You know, in previous years, many people's houses would be in disrepair, and every time it rained heavily, it would rain heavily outside and lightly inside, or it would not rain outside but dripping inside.
Nearly one-third of the residents in Beijing now live in houses allocated by their work units. Unlike private homeowners who reinforce and repair their own houses almost every year, those who rent houses from work units rarely pay for the repairs themselves. Most of them submit maintenance applications to the work unit's logistics department when problems arise, and the logistics department then arranges maintenance personnel to carry out the repairs.
Nowadays, for various reasons, many units can only carry out simple repairs on houses with problems. Generally speaking, they do not have the funds and manpower to carry out large-scale repairs.
It is precisely because of various reasons that every year some residents’ housing problems occur due to rainy and snowy weather, and in serious cases, house collapse accidents may even occur.
Therefore, for those residents living in the capital, they may think that it is a good thing that there are no heavy rains or rainstorms like in previous years. However, for those farmers who basically rely on the weather for their livelihood, the situation is much more serious.
However, due to the vigorous Great Leap Forward in Steel Production and the people's commune system and collective eating from the same pot that were being implemented in rural areas, many people ignored this abnormal phenomenon intentionally or unintentionally. Even some experienced old farmers, due to various concerns, few dared to openly remind people of it. Even if someone mentioned it occasionally, unfortunately, their words were not taken seriously and did not receive enough attention.
In fact, let alone ordinary people, Lin Yu knew very well that even though he had submitted two written reports to the State Council, they fell on deaf ears and did not receive enough attention.
Everything can be done once or twice, but not three times. This is also the bottom line that Lin Yu set for himself. Therefore, he will not mention this matter to his superiors again. Anyway, he only needs to make his heart open to the Tao, and he will be worthy of the 310 yuan salary paid by the country every month.
Seeing Su Yu's frown, Lin Yu smiled and pretended to be relaxed and comforted her: "You are pregnant now, so don't think too much about these troubles. Anyway, the sky will not fall. Besides, even if the sky really falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Su Yu rolled her eyes at her husband and whispered, "With your and Zhou Tian's abilities, can't you make any changes?"
Lin Yu understood what she meant. Obviously, after Su Yu had witnessed the extraordinary strength of Zhou Tian and other protectors, she believed that with the ability of these protectors, it would not be too difficult to control a few heavy rains. After all, even she, a young cultivator who had just reached the late stage of Qi Refining, could use the "water control technique" to make it rain lightly within a certain small range. She had practiced it in the blessed land.
Lin Yu restrained his smile and said in a serious tone: "Su Yu, everything has a cause and an effect. Before you have sufficient strength, don't try to interfere with the cause and effect of others, not to mention this kind of major event involving hundreds of millions of people. Let alone my current little cultivation, even with Zhou Tian and others' strength far beyond the Saint level, once they interfere without authorization, they will still suffer backlash."
After slowing down his tone, Lin Yu continued, "You are now a young cultivator who has just entered the sect. You must remember the four words of karma. For cultivators like us, before we have sufficient strength, we must not easily get involved in karma. Otherwise, when you break through the tribulation in the future, you will be particularly targeted by the will of this world, and your soul will be destroyed if you are not careful."
After hearing this, Su Yu nodded repeatedly. At this time, she also realized that her previous thoughts were a bit too naive.
Lin Yu sighed softly: "How many people can believe many things before they happen? And most people will always subconsciously believe that their decisions and choices are completely correct. At this time, even if someone raises doubts and objections, how many people can really adopt and believe? Especially for those powerful people, they believe in their own experience and judgment more. Only when the bloody facts are placed in front of them will they wake up. In order to avoid greater disasters in the future, someone still has to eat the bitter fruit that should be tasted."
Of course, Lin Yu would not tell Su Yu now that this three-year natural disaster, coupled with man-made disasters, would affect 24 provinces and regions and 36.59 million hectares of land, and the affected population would exceed 57 million.
