Mu Yangling touched his head and said, "So if you want to help others, you can only find a way to raise money yourself."
Xiao Xiong sympathized with his parents who were so poor, and then began to count with his fingers how many people he could help with the money in his hand, but now he can only count to fifty, the latter numbers are always confusing, and now naturally I don't understand.
Mu Yangling watched him sit on the chair and kept counting with his fingers. His father didn't respond when he came, Qi Haoran sat at the table, glanced at his son curiously, and asked, "What's wrong with him? ?"
"He's thinking about something, don't disturb him," Mu Yangling put a steamed bun into Qi Haoran's mouth and said, "After eating, take your son to the Zhuang households below, don't inform them in advance, just go. Come back to see how people celebrate the New Year."
Qi Haoran frowned, "Didn't you say go to appreciate plums? What's so beautiful about the Zhuang family?"
Mu Yangling sighed, "Your son doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. I asked him to see what the Chinese New Year was like. If I tell you to go, I have something to tell him when I get back."
Qi Haoran carried his son out slowly. The whole area outside their house was farmland, and the village households below were all tenants of Qi and Fan's houses.
When Mu Yangling bought the land, he bought the whole piece of land together with two mountains. Apart from building two large houses, the rest of the mountains and fields were divided into two parts, which was recorded in Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin. Under the name, the tenants before were not dispersed and still used.
But there is not much land. There are only twenty tenant households in the two families. They all live in the original small village, not far from their home. Dare to look from afar, and dare not approach.
Therefore, Qi Haoran carrying his son into the village was their first close contact with the main house. It was like seeing something. The villagers who were sweeping the snow at the entrance of the village ran back in panic. They felt bad halfway and stopped again. , knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Haoran.
Qi Haoran waved his hand indifferently and said, "Everyone get up, the New Year's lord comes over to see how everyone's life is going."
Qi Haoran didn't just carry his son, but two mule carts followed, with rice, noodles and some meat on them, which were distributed to the farmers.
Qi Haoran put his son on the ground and said, "Go and help with the work."
The little bear ran over to the mule cart. There are tenants on both sides of this year-end benefit. The tenants who belong to Fan Zijin also know that the two families are not separate from each other, so they go home and take their pockets. Dian ran to line up.
Xiaoxiong stood on the side to help divide things, but in fact he also helped with the pockets, and others were not taller than a sack of grain, what could he do?
The children of the tenants ran out to watch, and saw the white flour, white rice and meat that had been divided, staring with green eyes, and stood on the side and kept swallowing saliva.
Children are always the most attracted to children. Since these children came, the bear's eyes shifted instantly, and he didn't stay here anymore. He ran directly in front of the group of children and looked at them with his head tilted.
Looking at the well-dressed, clean and fair little prince, the children huddled together a little timidly.
Qi Haoran was talking to the elderly in the village, and he caught a glimpse of the movement here. He was hesitating whether to help his son, when he saw his son turned and ran back to the mule cart, took out a cloth bag, and went to the children.
Qi Haoran breathed a sigh of relief. It was what Mu Yangling put on the little bear before they went out. He said it was a diplomatic tool for the little bear. At first, he disliked the trouble of carrying those fragile pastries, but now it seems to be good. , at least the son can find the child to play with.
The little bear ran back with the bag, opened it, grabbed a piece of dessert and stuffed it in the youngest child's hand, saying, "Eat it, eat it quickly."
Seeing the snack in the child's hand, other children all gathered around. When a farmer saw it, he wanted to go forward and bring his child back. Qi Haoran glanced at it, and a guard immediately stepped forward to stop it.
The little bear successfully conquered the children in the village with a bag of cakes. When he saw their clothes were decorated with different colors of cloth, he touched them curiously. The thin clothes were cold in the cold wind, because their bodies were like other children's clothes. The thin bear was shocked. This clothes is thinner than his, can it really keep warm?
Seeing everyone devoured the cakes into their mouths, the little bear had more and more doubts in his heart.
The children in the village saw that the little bear was easy to get along with, and they had a soft mouth to eat people, so they were willing to play with him. After a while, a group of children could talk about it and go together, and then they ran around the village holding hands.
When the little bear was being held by his father and was about to go home, he tried his best to stick out his head and wave at them, shouting, "We will continue playing hide-and-seek tomorrow."
"Not tomorrow, you have to accompany dad to receive guests tomorrow." Qi Haoran patted his butt.
The little bear lay on his father's shoulder, and immediately changed his tune and shouted, "Tomorrow I will collect red envelopes and play together later."
Qi Haoran didn't stop him this time, and the little bear happily ran back to find his mother, shouting, "Mother, where are the uncles in the little guest house, I want to share their money."
"They've gone back," Mu Yangling counted with his fingers, "Mother gave them their wages, clothes to keep out the cold, and some food and noodles, these mothers have calculated the money, you will give it to me later. Just fine."
Little Bear opened his mouth wide, covered his purse and asked, "Mother is the best..."
"Well, so my mother gives you a 20% discount," Mu Yangling nodded with satisfaction and took over his words: "It's because the little bear wants to help people, so my mother gave them these things, and those are all from us. To eat, if we don’t take money to buy things to make up for it, then we will have nothing to eat.”
Little Xiong didn't expect his family to be so poor, so he could only take out his purse and pour out a handful of gold and silver nudes, but Mu Yangling showed him the account and said, "The clothes and rice noodles cost a total of three or six coins, and my mother doesn't either. I want more of you, Lichun, go and get the scissors."
Mu Yangling picked out three taels of silver, and cut six coins with scissors before returning the rest to Little Bear.
Bear tilted his head, this doesn't seem like a lot of money.
Mu Yangling took the abacus and asked, "You have been to Xiaozhuangzi today, how do you think they are doing?"
Little Bear sniffed and said, "They are so poor, Big Black said he only ate two pieces of meat a year..."
"Then do you want to help them?"
Bear nodded fiercely and looked at his mother with shining eyes.
Mu Yangling asked him how he wanted to help them.
In the eyes of Xiaoxiong, helping them means giving them food and clothing, simple and rough, so Mu Yangling gave him the money he needed to pay according to what he said he would send.
