Unexpectedly, someone came to recruit workers this morning, and regardless of the old and young, they promised to give them a place to live, and there were three porridges a day. They don't care if it's true or not, as long as they can fill their bellies, even if it's hell, they have to go with them. Now that they have received the assurance of the Lord's family, they feel more and more that they have more hope of survival.

"Xie Dong's life, Xie Dong's life, Xie Dong's life!" The homeless people fell to their knees, along with the old people and young children who had just jumped out of the carriage.

"Hurry up, change into cotton clothes and drink a bowl of porridge first, and wait for the rest to come back."

Dong Rong said as she helped up a white-haired old lady kneeling at the front, and then turned around and motioned for everyone to hurry up and arrange food and clothing. Zhao Qingshan and the others opened the two wooden doors of the orchard and shouted for everyone to stand in a row according to men, women and children, while Sister-in-law Liu and others took the elderly and children to the door to receive cotton clothes.

Although there are a large number of displaced people, there are already preparations in the orchard, and everyone is looking for cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and bowls and chopsticks, and the division of labor is very clear and the efficiency is extremely high. Soon, all the old people were dressed in cotton clothes, and although the children's clothes and trousers were a little fat, they were much better than wearing leaky single clothes. Only a few dozen of the remaining middle-aged men and women were given clothes and trousers, but no one opened their eyes to inquire.

Because the big bowl of brown rice porridge had already been held in their hands, the pungent aroma of food made them forget to wipe their snot and tears, and only poured them into their stomachs one bite after another, and finally looked at the cauldron in front of the team. Meihua'er filled each person with another spoonful, and kept instructing in her mouth, "I'll boil sweet potatoes later, which is sweeter." If you've been hungry for too long, it's hard to eat too much at once, so you'll have to pad your stomach first, and then eat the next meal when you've settled into a place to live. ”

The homeless people lowered their heads and drank porridge as usual, not knowing whether they heard it or not. The children were naughty by nature, and when they were warmly dressed and had a bottom in their stomachs, they twisted their little heads and looked at the orchard curiously, as if to estimate how much work there was in such a place, and whether they could be hired until the beginning of spring to support them through this long winter.

Steward Zhang sent the hired carriages, and walked to Dong Rong with the last one with his own hands, and reported with a smile, "Boss, this is what I bought back in the carriage and horse market last night, a total of twenty-eight taels." The horses are fine jujube flowers, strong and docile, and the frame is also ebony and extremely strong. ”

Dong Rong circled around the green cloth carriage, very satisfied, and praised, "Uncle Zhang's vision of picking things is good, Uncle Zhang will use this carriage first, and we will not enter the city if we have nothing to do." ”

"Xie Dongjia is compassionate." Steward Zhang was extremely happy and responded, "Then I will use it first, and the owner will speak when he enters the city, and I will come to serve him immediately." ”

"Okay."

The two discussed a few more trivial matters, Dong Rong turned around and saw that the rice porridge in the big pot had bottomed out, and the displaced people were also cheered up, so they called Sister-in-law Liu to take people back to the village with her to settle down.

Since the beginning of the day, the men, women and children of all families have no intention of doing work, and from time to time they make excuses, and walk to the gate of the courtyard with their hands and necks in their hands to take a look.

Some naughty children wore dogskin hats on their heads, and ran to the entrance of the village despite their parents' reprimands. At last, when the sun was in the middle of the day, there were many figures walking along the mountain road, which was covered with heavy snow, and from a distance, the black threads embroidered on the white brocade were thin and long. Slowly, the black line became more and more obvious, and the children finally saw the appearance of the homeless people.

They looked at each other with their mouths open, and they didn't know which one shouted first, and then they all turned their heads and ran back home. The parents thought that the children were being bullied, and when they understood the reason why the children were shrinking behind and refused to go out again, they hurried to the entrance of the village.

The old man sighed and recited the Buddha at that time, and the young descendants and girls were all frightened, and some of them had already wiped their tears. Everyone is an ordinary person who depends on the sky for food, and today it is these people who have suffered in front of them, and they are extremely pitiful. But who can guarantee that they will never have such a time? Compare your heart to your heart, help if you can, don't want anything in return, just look forward to the future if your own family really has that day will meet a kind person to rescue.

Everyone thought like this, and the old man who had become the master said to Dong Rong and the others who were walking in front, "There are two wings vacant in my courtyard, and I will find two families with small populations to follow me." The pillar daughter-in-law should not send food, the people who dig food in the soil in the world are all families, how can there be a reason to live in a house for a few days and collect money. ”

"That's right, my house has three rooms vacated, and it can accommodate seven or eight people."

"I don't need room money for one house." The crowd's sentiment was high, and after a while, dozens of vacant rooms were reported.

Dong Rong waited until the noise was lowered, and then she bowed deeply and thanked her loudly, "Thank you uncles and aunts for your high righteousness and willingness to lend the vacant house to these villagers who are in distress." But these villagers are working for the orchard, and my uncles and aunts have given up their houses to share my worries, and I am grateful, but the grain must be harvested. If my uncles and aunts still want to help me again, then please take care of these folks more on weekdays, okay? ”

After the families in the village paid the grain tax, there was not much ration left, and the shouting in my head just now was a little regretful before the words fell. At this time, I heard that Dong Rong received their love, and the words were good, so naturally they accepted it when they saw it, and they responded one after another, "Needless to say, living under one roof is a family, how can there be any reason not to take care of each other?" ”

Dong Rong saluted again and thanked everyone, and then motioned to Sister-in-law Liu to hurry up and help distribute it. Only one-third of the displaced people fled with their families, while the rest were from the same village and county, and some had deceased relatives fleeing for their lives alone. Now that he is in trouble, no one has the heart to pay too much attention to etiquette. Two or three women and their children lived in the same room, and the old woman lived next door, and the young men lived with the old man, so that they could take care of each other.

Soon, the homeless people at the entrance of the village became fewer and fewer, until the last one entered the village, and Dong Rong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man Cao, who was standing not far away, slowly walked up to him with his hands behind his back and said, "Sister Rong, the wing room at home is borrowed from Chen's family to live in, and this matter will not help much." However, tomorrow I will go to the orchard, even if I can't do anything, and help with the chores. ”

"Dad, it's too cold, don't be burdened. There were suddenly more than 400 people in the village, and no one could guarantee that something would go wrong. "Old man Cao's body has not been very good, Dong Rong naturally refused to let him go to the orchard to follow the @ heart tired, so he hurriedly pulled a light job and let the old man be responsible.

Sure enough, when the old man Cao heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and responded, "Nacheng, don't worry about it in the village, I'm keeping an eye on it." After speaking, the old man pulled the Cao Pozi who had been trying to interject next to him and walked away.

Cao Pozi struggled angrily and shouted, "You dead old man, why don't you let me speak?" I just want to ask her where she got so much silver, just hire people to work, why did she pick up so many old people and children..."

"Shut up!" Old man Cao stepped up his steps and scolded in a low voice, "Sister Rong'er must make sense to do things, what do you do when you ask so much?" It is indispensable to honor you! ”

"She dares, if she is not filial to her father, she will have her tongue cut off by Lord Yama even if she dies..."

The old couple walked away while talking like this, and Dong Rong called Sister-in-law Liu to go back to the orchard together. On the way, I happened to meet a few sisters-in-law Liu who went into the city to collect old clothes and quilts, and the small cart was full of piles, obviously harvesting a lot. Liu's sister-in-law was overjoyed and took them directly into the village to find the homeless people who had not been given clothes and quilts.

Dong Rong entered the orchard, helped Meihua'er wash four or five bags of sweet potatoes, threw them into a large pot and cooked them, and then put them in a large wooden basin for people to send back to the village.

was so busy until it was dark that Dong Rong was so tired that her arm was about to be broken, and she sat on the stool and didn't want to get up. Sister-in-law Liu was going to report some trivial matters again, but when she saw her like this, she hurriedly said, "Boss, I have arranged everything in the village, and those women will come to help cook porridge tomorrow morning." You can go back and rest, and come back tomorrow morning after sleeping more! ”

Dong Rong nodded and said with a wry smile, "I haven't worked for a long time, and I'm really not used to being busy all of a sudden." ”

The two arrived at the door while talking, and happened to meet the stupid pillar who came back from outside, so he simply stepped forward and bent down to pick up his daughter-in-law and leave. Dong Rong turned her head and blushed when she saw Sister-in-law Liu and the others snickering, and she had the heart to complain a few words but was afraid that the cold wind would pour into her stomach, so she had to keep her mouth shut tightly. Silly Zhu's back was really generous and warm, she couldn't help but climb up again, and soon fell asleep with the shaky rhythm.

Silly Zhu was still thinking about how to talk about his going out with Mr. Feng, but he heard the sound of thin and long breathing behind him, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and the steps under his feet became bigger and bigger.

This night is lively and sleepless for Yimianpo Village, and almost every household is inhabited by strangers. Although everyone originally lived in the north and south of Daqi, separated by thousands of miles, there are many differences in the local pronunciation and customs. But now they are in the same courtyard, holding a bowl of hot water, the displaced people cry and sigh when they talk about the hardships along the way, and the villagers also have a bad face when they talk about the high grain tax, and finally both parties secretly scolded the rotten Daqi court together. After gossiping like this for half the night, everyone became closer to each other.

Chen Laoer's family in the west of the village only has three thatched houses and does not take in displaced people. But the couple also didn't fall asleep at this time, for no other reason, the Chen family's in-laws came to the door.

Sister Cao reluctantly made a pot of tea and put it on the table with three legs long and one short legs, yawned and said, "Daddy, drink tea." ”

Chen Lao Er glared at his daughter-in-law fiercely, and said with a smile, "Daddy, this is the good tea that the eldest sister got back at her father-in-law's house, you can drink it." ”
