Chapter 55： put food again

Chapter 55

"Ayu, you go back and change your clothes. You are all wet, so you need to wear dry." Liu hurriedly turned around and said to Xiao Ayu. "Okay." Xiao Ayu nodded, and when the wind blew, her arms trembled.

It's so cold, hurry back to the room to change clothes.

And Mrs. Wang dragged Liu to walk in the rain, and the two went further and further away.

Seeing that it was already a long way from their old Wang's house, the old lady Wang found a yellow-horned tree.

"Mother, what should I do about Ayu's affairs?" Liu Shi was a little flustered, she was really stimulated by the scene just now.

She was not a very assertive person.

Mrs. Wang whispered: "Don't worry, listen to me, let's do this..."

While they were discussing, the village chief rang the gong hanging at the entrance of the village again.

It happened that the rain had stopped at that time, and everyone went to see if they had nothing on their hands.

It was almost time for people to come, and Village Chief Hu said, "I want to tell the big guy some good news."

"What good news?" No one really guessed it.

Village Chief Hu is not a person who likes to sell off his sons. In the eyes of everyone's expectations, he smiled and said: "The good news is that Mr. Zhang has sent someone to bring new food! But this time, I ate less food. But there are plenty of grains, and it is said that they are all distributed directly by the Ministry of Household!”

Because the spring ploughing season is about to be missed, if the people do not have enough grain, most of the land will be left uncultivated.

If    is not distributed to make up, there will be even more shortage of food during the autumn harvest.

The village chief was in the county town two days ago and didn’t buy much grain. The rich people in the city bought and ate all the grains.

"The village chief, didn't you lie to us? Why did the court send food twice?"

"Yes, do you need money for grain and grain seeds?"

In the eyes of the villagers, money is always paid for anything that is linked with the official.

Village Chief Hu said, "Don't worry, the yamen who came to inform said that they won't charge us."

The expressions of everyone loosened up, and it would be fine if they didn't accept the money.

Village Chief Hu added: "Last time it was Mr. Zhang who escorted it here, but now the disasters are serious in various places, and the officials in the county are too busy. So this time the food was not delivered directly, but was placed in the yamen in the county. , let us get it ourselves."

"That's what I think. The small carts at our house are definitely not enough. Do you want to go to the mountains to chop two more logs and make two more carts, so that you can have good luck in food."

This time, the amount of food is more, and it is determined according to the number of people in the household registration, so the amount is more abundant than before.

Concerning the future harvest, everyone is very positive.

The villagers hurriedly said: "Let's go to chop wood now, there are many people, everyone can pick up a little bit, as long as you can use it."

Some people also said: "I'll make a few more baskets, and I'll pick them up when the time comes."

"Which families are going to go together? Let's make a charter, and when the scooters are ready, we'll set off." Village Chief Hu said.

Everyone said that they could go together and get free food, of course they wanted to watch the fun.

And the more people there are, the more secure the food will be.

Even if they had to walk back and forth for several hours, they felt that it was nothing.

"Bring an old lady, we are also going to the county town, it's good to go with people." Mrs. Wang also hurried over.

Everyone saw that it was Mrs. Wang, thinking that the old Wang family had paid too much during this time, so there was no reason not to agree.

The old lady Wang said: "The court's food is fixed. If we go late, maybe we will run out of food, and we can only go empty."

After hearing this, everyone wanted to hurry up. It doesn't matter if there are not enough scooters, it's the same for everyone to carry a few more burdens.

Village Chief Hu looked at the sky outside and said hurriedly: "Don't say no, the yamen said that he will keep it for our village. If we can keep it for another day or two, it will not be too late for us to go tomorrow morning. It's too late today. Come on, the road is slippery in rainy days, don't fall down the mountain."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is even more muddy and dangerous in rainy days.

On the second day, it was a coincidence that the spring rains that I thought would rain for several days suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were clear.

The people discussed going to the county seat.

Mrs. Wang also called several sons and older grandsons to the muddy nursery the day before.

She lifted the thatch to reveal the densely growing wheat seedlings, and everyone in the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief.

How long did it take for this seedling to be planted? How did it grow so big?

"Don't be surprised. Haven't eaten pork before? Haven't seen a pig run? Put away your stupid looks!" Mrs. Wang said angrily, "Tomorrow, I will go to the county town with the village chief and the others. , Ayu also took it away, you are not allowed to cheat and play tricks at home, when I come back, if I see that all the seedlings are not planted, I will see how I will clean up you!"

The sons and grandchildren of the Wang family were stunned by the training, they just wanted to work hard and completely forgot to ask why the seedling grew so tall.

In one day, everyone made three scooters and came out. Although it was still a little rough and basically not polished, it was still OK to use it reluctantly.

With the scooter, everyone set off.

Xiao Ayu carried her small pockets on her back, carried a small flower basket, and followed the big team by jumping.

The lamb followed, running happily with its four hooves.

was held by Mrs. Wang on the back of the neck and rushed back.

"It's such a long way, you don't want your hooves anymore? Go back and stay!" Mrs. Wang roared and scared the lamb back again.

Xiao Ayu stretched out her little hand and waved to the lamb: "Little lamb, wait for us at home."

Little Sheep: "..." is very angry.

Although the sky is sunny, the ground is not completely dry. The roads and official roads in the village are all muddy roads.

But everyone was very enthusiastic and didn’t find it troublesome at all.

Little Ayu only jumped for a while before someone carried her to the scooter and carried her away.

"A-Yu, don't leave. If you get your clothes dirty later, it won't look good." Hu San smiled and said, "The third grandpa is pushing you. If you are sleepy, you can still sleep."

Xiao Ayu said sweetly, "Thank you Third Grandpa!"

Xiao Ayu was riding a scooter for the first time. She was so excited that she lay on the scooter and looked around. Her little eyes rolled and she didn't know what she was looking at.

The villagers in Hujia Village were all in high spirits as soon as they dispelled their worries for the past few days. Even the muddy road could not stop their enthusiasm and happiness.

Occasionally see small wild fruits on the side of the road, they go to pick them and put them in Xiao Ayu's small pocket.

When she saw wild flowers, she also picked them and put them in her small flower basket.

can drive little Ayu crazy!

The words were divided into two parts, but Zhang Zhan, who was in the Yongding County government office, suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch.

A servant rushed to the door of the study excitedly and shouted: "Sir, there is a young master outside who wants to see you!"

Zhang Zhan lost what was in his hand, rushed out like the wind, and saw several carriages parked outside the yamen.

A few servants stood outside the carriage, all of them holding wooden sticks.

At the front of the crowd was a young boy of about six or seven years old, with a monk, a Taoist priest, and a person of unknown sect standing on either side.

Seeing these people, Zhang Zhan felt his head hurt even more.

What's the matter!

"Xiao...Xiaohuai, it's been a lot of hard work. You should go to the county government for a temporary rest, and the others will be arranged at the inn. What do you think?" Zhang Zhan hid all his thoughts and showed a standard welcome. smile.

Unexpectedly, the young man did not listen to Zhang Zhan at all.

He lifted his sleeves slightly, looked straight at Zhang Zhan, and spoke like gold: "Dirty."

For a month and a half along the way, he failed to groom himself properly.

The self-loathing expression on   's face almost made Zhang Zhan think he was wrong.

The little boy rarely speaks, let alone shows his emotions.

It seems that he really suffered a lot.

"The hot water is ready, come with me."

When Zhang Zhan greeted these people and entered the county office, Hujia Village and his party also went outside Yongding County.
