"If you pluck a hair, which is thicker than our waists, if you show a little mercy, you can save our family, your uncle, your cousin. They're all just looking at you...! ”

This time, Qin's daughter-in-law really shed tears, her eyes were blurred, and her words were full of sadness.

"Okay, okay, my aunt has also been here for most of the day, and she has also said this, looking at the temples on her head, they have scattered a lot, and her face is not very good, I guess I haven't eaten lunch yet-!" Seeing the innocent and pitiful look from those black eyes, Qin Mo always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Originally, he said that he would make it difficult, or he wanted to ignore it, but in the end, he still cared about this bit of family affection in his heart.

Since he has fallen to such a point, why did he strengthen his heart, just thinking like this, his heart softened.

"It's a hard day, where is there extra food to eat, I took your cousin to you early in the morning, and walked all morning, not to mention eating, even if I didn't drink a sip of water."

When Qin Mo heard this, his face was sullen.

I called Xiao Tao again, and there were still a few meat dishes left at noon, and there should be rice.

Qin Mo thought of rice, he was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he turned his head and asked Xiao Tao again, and then Xiao Tao went to the backyard and walked back in small steps

"The owner, there is still food, there are dishes, but you have to provoke it-!"

And Qin Mo was sitting next to him, and he had already heard the eldest aunt hearing the words 'food and', and she was swallowing saliva when she turned around with a 'grunt'.

The eyes stared at the direction of the kitchen that Xiao Tao was looking at.

And Qin Mo happened to turn his head and sigh again

It's been a few days since I've eaten a meal of white rice.

Thinking that in the past, Aunt Qin was still a hard-working person with a well-known name in the village, why is she so poor today.

God also treats himself well, who calls himself a cross-over and brings his own livelihood skills that others don't have...

Otherwise, how can you imagine what a difficult situation you would have lived if you were an ancient person who was born and raised in this dynasty today.

Sigh at the thought.

And it just so happens that this little peach is clever, since Qin Mo is asking for food, and he has replied, he also knows what Qin Mo means.

I went back to the kitchen for a moment and heard the sound of hot dishes inside, and the oil and water of Zilala were accompanied by the sound of the dishes.

Not long after, accompanied by a burst of vegetable aroma, and then the small dish was on the table, a total of four dishes, Xiao Tao saw that the aunt of the Qin family had traveled far and hard, and deliberately added a soup.

Of course, this qiē was all done by figuring out Qin Mo's thoughts.

Three meat dishes, a pot meat, a meat slice, and a plate of bacon marinated last year, Qin Mo has always liked to eat bacon the most, as long as there is one.

And this happened to be the end of the year, and it was the time to eat bacon, and the smell of this meat was extraordinarily fragrant.

Two dishes, the pot meat with fat, it happens that the people in the store eat every day, and when they are tired of eating, they don't eat fatty meat, there is a lot left, a plate looks like it is full of meat, and the bacon is also a full plate.

It's been a long time since this Aunt Qin has touched a grain of white rice, let alone a bowl of spiky net rice for herself.

And this meat, except for the thirty days of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the whole family ate two pounds, they no longer knew the taste.

"Kid, eat!" Qin Mo handed the chopsticks to the boy who had been standing by the table in a daze, that is, the cousin of her third aunt, with a faint expression, and beckoned him to eat.

And this child, it seems that the expression is more calm than that of this Aunt Qin, to be precise, it is Mu Ne.

After coming for a long time, I didn't open my mouth, I didn't greet people, and I didn't even call my sister.

But Qin Mo was not angry.

Instead, he took the initiative to bring him chopsticks and beckoned him to take a seat.

"In that case, eldest niece, I'm starting to use chopsticks-!" When this Aunt Qin saw the dishes on the table, she was excited when she thought about it, and her voice trembled a little.

Qin Mo's expression was faint, but his voice was calm, "Eat!" ”

As if just waiting for this moment, yes, the aunt of the Qin family grabbed the chopsticks in her hand, and took a big mouthful of white rice in her mouth, and before she chewed it twice, the long chopsticks picked up one by one, and pinched a big piece of chopsticks and meat on the plate of the pot meat.

And this kid, sure enough, after Qin Mo greeted him, he also served on the table.

Because he hasn't spoken, Qin Mo doesn't know what his name is, although he is a cousin, he has never seen him before.

Come to think of it, this is indeed the first time I've seen it.

This kid doesn't seem to have eaten for a long time, at the beginning Qin Mo asked him to eat, he grabbed the chopsticks Qin Mo gave him, but his eyes were always looking at Qin Mo, and he picked out one or two grains of rice and put them on his lips and sent them to his mouth.

Later, when Qin Mo smiled kindly at him again, he clenched his chopsticks and vigorously planed them.

"What's your name?"

For a long time, when Qin Mo saw him, he seemed to be no longer recognizant of himself, so he asked him with a smile.

And the little boy was stunned when he saw Qin Mo's smiling face.

Even the whole eating movement slowed down, and his expression was also fixed.

"His name is Chunsheng, because he was born in Spring-!" The child still didn't speak, but he looked a little obsessed with Qin Mo's eyes.

Qin Mo himself was also a little surprised, and it just so happened that this Aunt Qin added such a sentence next to him.

"Chunsheng-!" Qin Mo only listened to this name, as if it was really interesting, so he straightened his long silk sleeves, and said with a light smile, "Your name is Chunsheng, then do you know what my name is, I am your sister, cousin, you will call me Sister Mo in the future-!" ”

Qin Mo continued to make him laugh.

However, the little boy still didn't say anything, and he was not as hungry as this Aunt Qin, but after looking at Qin Mo for a few seconds, he buried his head in eating again.

"Alright!" Qin Mo yawned, "I'm tired of entertaining my aunt today, I'll go and rest first."

I'm tired of entertaining, I'll go to rest for a while, what's the matter to inform this little peach to call me, the little peach is a maid I bought back from outside, and I've been with me for a few years, I'm very relieved about her, you can also find her if you have anything to help! ”

Qin Mo sat at the table for a while, then got up and spoke first.

During the lunch break, I'm a little sleepy, so let's go to sleep first.

It's nothing to see if you sit here and watch them eat.

As soon as this Aunt Qin heard that Qin Mo was leaving, she immediately tensed up and was about to stand up and say something polite, but Qin Mo turned around and raised her hand and pressed it on the table.

A few more polite words: 'Eat well-! Something like that

After sitting below for a while, he returned to the boudoir, and in the end, it was the red treasure toad lacquer-dyed step bed, and then hung this sunrise colorful soft mosquito net on it. A pipa was hung on the wall, and a round table, a round stool, and so on were placed on the floor.

The inside and outside are separated by a curtain, which used to be a curtain, but this year Qin Mo changed it to a bamboo curtain, which is not very exquisite, but he dressed it up by himself, which is in line with his own identity and character.

And Qin Mo is also working hard to use a brush, but he doesn't want to be beautiful in words, or have the style of everyone's work, in this dynasty to survive, he always has to learn to write two words.

slept on the bed for a while, and then was woken up by Xiao Tao.

asked the reason, but this aunt and Chunsheng finished eating and rested for a while, and they were about to leave...

The reason for asking Qin Mo to get up was to hope that Qin Mo could receive two dollars after giving them this meal, so that their two families could go home and live a good life.

The three aunts were also strange that they didn't come, but they sent their sons.

Maybe it's because of the face problem, I'm afraid of speaking in front of a junior.

"This is ten taels of silver, put it on your body and wrap it when you go back, these five taels of silver are for the third aunt-!"

When Xiao Tao called something to the Qin family's aunt, Qin Mo stood in the attic on the second floor and looked down.

She doesn't want to deliver it herself now.

It's good to borrow these things from Xiao Tao's hand...

"This is silver, you have it all in your pocket, this half of the money, the owner said, it is for this cousin alone, saying that the aunt is on the way, the child wants something to eat, play, and the aunt will buy it on his behalf, and it will not cost you money-!"

"Girl, look where you said, this two-dollar thing, I am an aunt, or I took it out for the juniors-!"

Now that I have silver, of course, I say so, one penny and two pennies compared to ten taels of silver, one in ten thousand, take the silver, how can I feel comfortable in my heart, happy, when this Aunt Qin talked to Xiao Tao, her eyes were always smiling.

After seeing the moment, Xiao Tao took out two more bags from the courtyard.

As soon as Aunt Qin saw it, she knew that this bag must have been given to herself. Before Xiao Tao could support his hand, he went over and hugged him happily.

"The owner said, this is rice, dozens of catties of rice, enough for your family to eat for a month and a half, here is cloth, and some of the owner's beaded jewelry, some things are inlaid with gold, the owner is now too old, don't want it, hand it over to you to pawn in the pawnshop, you can still exchange a few dollars of silver, you can also maintain the family.!"

This little peach said, this Aunt Qin will recite a word of Buddha.

Before I came today, I was still worried in my heart, and I was afraid that this niece would still remember some of her mistakes in the old years, and I was afraid that I would not support her.

But looking at it now, I still have affection for her.

Ten taels of silver, for an ordinary person, is not a trivial matter, just think about the past knows, some people have never seen what silver looks like in their lives.

As long as you have these ten taels of silver, you will have no problem surviving this year.

Moreover, it is gratifying that this Qin Mo also brought silver to the third room, and he is really still a lover.

A child is a child, many times others give it badly, and after a long time, they forget it, and they are still very honest to people.

When the eldest daughter-in-law of Qin received the silver, the rice grain thought so.

And Qin Mo, who was standing on the second floor, looked directly at the smiling face of Aunt Qin below, and seemed to know what she was thinking in her heart!

Actually, it's not because I don't care about my nature, I have a poor memory, and I forget the harsh treatment I used to be, it's just that some things are not good for me.

If you want to make yourself uncomfortable, why not let yourself go.

Let others go.

This is a few taels of silver, a small favor and a small favor, and it can be regarded as buying the hearts of the two houses of the Qin family.

In the future, even if you encounter trouble, you will not take your difficulties lightly, there is a sentence that Aunt Qin said very right, in the end, it is a family.

Sometimes in times of crisis, you always need the support of your own people.

In the end, Xiao Tao finally sent the aunt and nephew away.

Xiao Tao has followed herself in the past two years, and most of the daily life in this store is taken care of by her, and she has received a lot of arrogant temperament when she first came to her store, but now she is seeing that the situation is becoming more and more capable, which is gratifying.

*

In the afternoon, the store was quiet, and Qin Mo took this opportunity to go to the Baiwei Building to talk to Brother Hao.

The dishes of Baiweilou are good and the taste is good, and it has been praised from all sides in this Linshui County, and even stated that it is far away.

And business has always been in a state of prosperity.

Qin Mo also rarely had the opportunity to come to this Baiwei Building to sit and drink tea and chat with this Brother Hao, I don't know how today.

There are a lot of things on my mind, and I want someone to distract me...

Baiweilou has a good business, a lot of money, a day is more than ten taels of silver, most of the net profit is divided by Qin Mo and Boss Na Hao, and Qin Mo also took the lion's share.

And Baiweilou is two or three hundred taels of silver a month, and almost has one or two hundred taels, and the money that is finally transferred to Qin Mo's hands will not be less than one hundred taels every month.

The money in Qin Mo's hands now can be said to be one of the richest people in this Linshui County

Moreover, this identity is still hidden

The portion is still hidden.

"Recently, there has been a famine in this village in Linshui County, and the displaced people are wandering around, and many people are starving to death.

The two of them sat on a table near the window on the second floor, brewing a pot of tea, and sat down slowly.

Around, even if it's not noon dinner time, there are people sitting around several tables.

And Qin Mo and this Boss Hao chose a window seat, blowing the wind like this, and their spirits were refreshed.

This is the day of February, this Boss Hao brought a fan and a folding fan with him, at this time, Qin Mo understood that not all fans are used for fans.

"It's thanks to you, how can this restaurant save without you, and besides, business is still so good!"

This Boss Hao said, and with the other hand, he pinched the sleeve of this sleeve with one hand, and then poured tea for Qin Mo.

The sound of tea 'swishing' makes this corner of the people here extra peaceful.

"Oh, what a debt to me. I'm just for myself! ”

"Life in the world, which is not for yourself, people die for money, birds die for food, and heaven is also-!"

Turning the hot rim of the cup in his hand, Qin Mo smiled reluctantly.

"Last time, you called the cook, add salt to that dish when pickling vegetables, listen to your words, the new dish that just came out, what is it called'sauerkraut fish', these guests like to eat, it is very delicious, the peddler who sent the fish in the east of the city, today and yesterday two days to sell out the fish...!"

"You say you're such a person, others are human, and you're also human, but why do you know everything-"

I didn't want to hear the answer, and I knew that there was no answer, and then this Brother Hao, put down the teacup and shook his head and smiled helplessly.

And Qin Mo didn't answer for a long time, and then raised his head again.

The little coquettish face was inexplicably a little more sad...

It just so happened that this Boss Hao was playing with the teacup and looked up, then looked at Qin Mo, there seemed to be surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly asked

"What's wrong?!"

"Ahh Qin Mo didn't answer, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Brother Hao talked about 'Tianli' just now, but he inexplicably remembered one thing-!" ”

Boss Hao's eyes widened.

Qin Mo glanced at him, and then said, "During this time, Brother Hao has also heard about it, this is not a secret, the villages in the westernmost part of the county that have been suffering from drought all year round have made a big disturbance this year, and it is said that many people have died...!" ”

I didn't want Qin Mo to mention this, but since he mentioned it, Boss Hao's face immediately darkened a little

"Well, I've heard about it, but we are the people, and these things are originally the work of the government, so we can't do anything, it's very powerless!"

"Thinking that those victims should be living in dire straits right now, I just hope they can survive on their own, and then they can live a good life-!"

"When such a big thing happened, our government didn't make a sound at all, not to mention helping the people, not to send people down to check, these days, to the county seat-!"

"Uh-huh!" This Brother Hao condensed, bowed his head and said, "This disaster is not uncommon in Linshui County, I believe that if there are officials who have acted in the morning, the reason for the disaster is because the river canal has not been dug in the end, but the river is several miles away from the nearest village, if someone reports to the top, the prefect may not know, but whether it is the prefect or the county commander, they all let this matter go, what do you say, people starve to death every year, the state does not know, let alone the people on the top, Who cares about such a remote place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one has no way to do it.! ”

"Brother Hao. Actually, I want to tell you. I've got the money to dig this ditch! ”

"What-!"

This Boss Hao has always been a calm person, and when he heard Qin Mo's words, the water shook out of the cup

This Boss Hao's eyes widened, shaking his head, his eyes full of surprise and disapproval.

"I advise you to leave this matter alone, I know that you have a lot of money, rich, others don't know I can not know you, two red makeup shops, and my monthly income in this restaurant, the silver in your hand is more than two, even, now this Linshui County, it is estimated that there is no second person who can compare with you, but do you know, you are now this qiē, it is not difficult to lose, poor, hugely rich, only overnight, this county lord ignores things, you still don't care, if you think more silver, then send some to me for nothing, don't be reckless, Cause trouble for yourself! ”

This Chen Gang waved his hand again and again, his tone was resolute, and his eyes were gloomy when he looked at Qin Mo...

And Qin Mo also lowered his head after hearing these words, thought for a long time, and then stared again.

"To be honest, I've been thinking about these things that Brother Hao is worried about for a long time, but the corrupt official doesn't pay for it, or, for so many years, it is impossible for the court to never ignore this matter, you also said, it's an old place, obviously the disaster can be solved by diverting water, why do you have to sacrifice so many lives every year.

Brother Hao, in fact, I feel very sad in my heart, you don't know, in fact, one of the villages that was most severely affected is my hometown, Chishui Village, it is really ** naked without water, those villagers in our village have lived there for generations, daily water, some go up the mountain to carry water, some go to the ditch a few miles away to get water, if it doesn't rain, a large area of crops will die of drought, the names of those villages living in Chishui Village, generations, I don't know how many tribulations have been endured, and when will this ordeal be a head, I have money in my hand now, I can pay to help them repair the canal, if the money is not enough, I will find a way, but come to think of it, the money in my hand is enough now, and the people above are reluctant to pay, and do not consider the lives of these farmers, since I have money, let me help these villagers! ”

Qin Mo's words, there is no doubt that Boss Hao was stunned in his original seat for a while.

"Since you have decided to do so, then Brother Hao, I don't want to persuade you much, you are doing this for a good deed, and the people will be grateful to you. In fact, I really have to do this, as your friend, Brother Hao will also be proud of you, it's just that you must think about these things yourself, first, you are money, this is a ditch digging project, so a few miles of land, it is not long to say that it is long, and it is definitely not short to say that it is short, and the consumption is certain... It can't be done without thousands of taels of silver, you have to know that there are not many people who can get thousands of taels of silver at home in Linshui County now, and the second is that the people above may not know about the matter of repairing the canal, and they don't know that they should do it. ”

After listening to this, Qin Mo was stunned for a long time, "I know what Brother Hao said, I know how to be cautious!" ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Hao choked up, "You know that's good-!" ”
