Chapter 528: Heaven Doesn't Fulfill People's Wishes
Thinking day and night, in a daze, Qiu Chen seemed to have arrived at a flooded Zhuangzi, the ravines were full of water, and the low-lying places had already been flooded, some sorghum was mostly exposed on the water, the leaves had withered yellow, some of the grains had already set ears, and even some of the ears of grain had bent heavily, but almost all of them were submerged under the water, withered and yellow. It was quite far away, but Qiu Chen was strangely able to see white sprouts of millet sprouts emerging from some ears of grain...... It was a ripe grain that sprouted on the ears......
On this day, after dinner, she slowly walked around the house a few times, scalded her hands and feet with warm water, went to bed, and was massaged and compressed by Chengying and Hanguang with a warm salt bag, and fell asleep in a daze.
The discomfort and exhaustion of the body made Qiu Chen always unable to sleep steadily, and when he was not sleeping, he was always in poor spirits and confused.
Because of the cloudy day, and because of the severe edema of her legs, she almost didn't dare to stand anymore, so she could only walk around the house carefully for a while every once in a while, then lay back on the couch, and raised her feet slightly.
Qiu Chen's belly looked like it had grown a little longer, and her legs and feet were even more swollen, the originally delicate and white legs were swollen into two white radish, and the skin was tense and shiny, revealing a faint water color, as if a layer of skin was wrapped in a bag of liquid, and there were some purpura bruises...... This is caused by poor blood flow after edema, and if it is stricter, it is likely to ulcerate or even rot......
Qin Zheng returned to the city as early as the day after the second rain.
This rain fell for seven or eight days, and finally the wind rose, and after blowing for most of the night, the thick clouds were completely blown away, revealing the sun that had not been seen for a long time.
The girls looked at each other, exchanged glances, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they were really a good master. Unconsciously the sense of identity with the Jingbei Hou Mansion is even deeper.
Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, waved his hand to stop everyone's echo, and said lightly: "Since you have come to one place, the big guys are all a family, if you don't tell the master something, you are in a hurry, who knows if you will do something wrong...... When someone has something to do, the big guy stretches out a hand, and the difficulty may be over. ”
Mama Chen sighed and chanted the Buddha a few more times. The girls in the house also praised Madame for her compassion, generosity, kindness and ......
After talking for a while, Qiu Chen turned back to Mama Chen and said, "Mama will go down for me, let's see who else has difficulties at home, and after verifying it, we will also allow six months of monthly money to be advanced, so let's set an example!" No matter how special the situation is, it will come back, and we will make special arrangements according to the situation. ”
She also thought about what Mama Chen said, and she also thought about donating some clothes and quilts to those disaster victims, and beckoned the noble family to take out the old clothes and bedding, which can also help many people...... It's just that this is the same as food, you can't send this kindness at will, and you have to guard against the suspicion of 'buying the hearts of the people'...... She and Qin Zheng have special identities, especially Qin Zheng, who has made outstanding achievements, seeing that the emperor has always been quite good to Qin Zheng, who knows what he really thinks in his heart...... But no matter what the emperor thinks, the couple still have to be more conscious, honest, and can't find themselves uncomfortable!
Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile and changed the topic in a blink of an eye.
Mama Chen smiled with relief and bent her knees: "Madam is right, but I am left-hearted!" ”
Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Mama Chen, raised his hand and patted her hand, and said with a smile: "Mama is right. If you want to send too much, you will naturally follow Mama's method. Now, our strength is limited, so we will send a few winter clothes back to a few girls' families, so we won't count this...... The material is a little better, and it also adds some face to a few girls! ”
Mama Chen stood beside Qiu Chen, the smile on her face had not faded, but she sighed slightly: "If it is worn by those people in the village, even our family is not affordable enough...... Send these clothes to the old clothes shop to exchange some cotton and linen clothes, which are more wear-resistant and dirt-resistant! ”
Mama Wang received the order and hurriedly went back to check the old cotton clothes with a few daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the house.
Everyone in the room laughed at the words.
Qiu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mama, don't shirk anymore, if you don't spread it, they won't say that you persuaded me, they just said that I searched it!" ”
Mama Wang smiled beside her and said: "It's just some old clothes, it's useless to leave them at home, and it's also a good place to take them out and use them, where can I let Mrs. take out the materials to compensate us!" ”
Although he really didn't care about this, Qiu Chen didn't want to jump out to challenge it, so he nodded along with Mama Chen's meaning, and said with a smile: "That being the case, then a few people in this room will go back and point to point the old clothes." Well, at least it's a jacket, it's best to be a cotton coat, the old ones are not afraid, there are tattered places, find two people to make up for it, and if you can't make it up, forget it. Whoever handed it in, find someone to keep a count...... Let's compensate for the new material according to the number of old clothes, and two sets of old clothes for one set of new material! ……”
The women of the house in this world, especially the relatives of the rich and noble families, use the things they wear cannot be passed on casually. Her clothes are taken out and given away, even if they are old, they are not in accordance with the rules.
What Mama Chen said was subtle, but in fact, Qiu Chen understood.
As soon as Mama Chen heard this, she immediately folded her hands and recited the Buddha, and then said with a smile: "This is Madame's kindness...... But, as far as I could say, some old bedding was enough, and no one could wear the lady's clothes when she took them out...... But we all have some old clothes, and anyone can pack a few of them at home, although they are old, but they don't delay the warmth, and it is enough to give them some. ”
Turning his head, Qiu Chen wiped the corners of his eyes and looked at Mama Chen and Chengying and said, "Their monthly money for half a year is also limited...... Listening to that, I'm afraid that the harvest in the homes of a few people can't be counted on. Their little money is enough to buy some rations, and they can't take care of the rest...... I mean, look at the old bedding and old cotton clothes that I have accumulated, pick what they can wear, put some on them and send them back to their homes...... Alas, please ask a few girls to rest assured! ”
The four girls were already moved to tears, crying silently, and kowtowed again and again to thank the master for his grace. Qiu Chen only felt sour in his heart when he looked at them, waved his hand and motioned for the girls to pull the four of them up, and Yufeng took them down to receive the silver.
These children were sold by the family, but they still miss their parents and relatives at home, which deserves her encouragement, but it also makes her a little disagreeable...... She doesn't want these girls to treat themselves as victims and endlessly meet the demands of their families, so she expresses an attitude that it is okay to help the family, but there must be a degree.
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen looked back at the four girls kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and continued: "Just half a year!" There are six taels of silver, which is enough to buy hundreds of catties of grain, and this winter and spring are enough. ”
As he spoke, Qiu Chen turned around and instructed Yufeng, who was in charge of the monthly money: "You make it convenient, if these girls want to send silver and things to their families, you should give them some monthly money in advance......"
When these girls study, they only take care of food, lodging and clothing, and they don't have any monthly money. When I arrived at the Jingbei Hou Mansion, I was given monthly money according to the example of a second-class girl, and every month it was one or two pieces of silver, and I also received two months of monthly money at this time.
The situation at home of several other girls is similar, although it is hard, there are no casualties, Qiu Chen directly waved his hand and smiled and comforted when he heard it: "People can do it well, you can rest assured." If you want to bring money and food to your home, just say that you can send someone to help you run back again. ”
That night, the people who had been sent to inquire about the news and the messengers were all returned. Gardenia and Sakura's girls' families are relatively lucky, there is no flooding, two years ago when her daughter was selected to study medicine in Renhetang, she also signed a deed and took the silver, and the situation of several families has improved somewhat. Gardenia's own house, which Gardenia was worried about, also changed it to new thatch and mud after taking the money at that time, so that the old house survived the rain without any accidents such as the house collapsing.
This rain changed from the previous way, no longer heavy rain, but a big and a small burst, the heavy rain and the lingering drizzle alternated, and there was no meaning to stop when it got up, as if it had been falling like this.
Qiu Chen had already taken Brother Yun back to the Yulan Pavilion, and now he was sitting on the couch in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside through the window, but he could only let out a silent sigh.
Before noon, the sun that hung high in the sky was obscured by the clouds, and after several struggles, it did not break free from the kidnapping of the dark clouds, and finally disappeared behind the clouds. Immediately afterward, heavy rain fell.
The mother-in-law and girls didn't dare to relax at all, staring at Mrs. with good eyes, Mama Chen took care of some family matters and hurried back, holding Qiu Chen's arm, and saying funny things while walking slowly. The girls and mothers-in-law also had fun, and a group of people walked in the sun after a long rain, laughing from time to time.
The drainage conditions of the Houhou Garden in Jingbei are still good, after the rain was light yesterday morning, the water level in the lake dropped a little bit, and the lake water basically fell to the lake embankment, but there is still some water in the low place, and the garden is also wet and muddy, but the pebble road and the bluestone road are washed clean by the rain, and there is still some damp atmosphere.
The preparations that should be made were ready, Qiu Chen thought about it, and there was nothing else to do, so he put these aside, took Brother Yun out of the pavilion, and walked slowly around the garden.
The dried grain is slightly worse than the sun-dried grain in terms of color and taste, but in case of even rain and no sun conditions, drying has become a necessary choice.
Putting aside the precipitated worries in his heart, Qiu Chen sent people to Zhuangzi to prepare a warehouse and drying room...... The drying room has been built a long time ago, which is used to cope with the continuous rain to dry the grain, but it has not been used. Now we can't wait for the sky to open our eyes, and it's better to prepare countermeasures early. If it continues to rain in response to the proverb, the crops on the Zhuangzi can be harvested and dried and put into the warehouse without rotting in the ground.
Qiu Chen also heard the discussion of the girls in the morning, and she had also heard the proverb 'the morning glow does not go out', but at this time, the sun had risen to the sky, and although the clouds in the sky were still thick, she still secretly prayed that the sky would clear and stop raining...... If it rains again, even if it is a lingering drizzle, it will not only exacerbate the floods, but also affect the harvest of crops -- at the end of July and the beginning of August, most of the crops have already set ears and reached the stage of being full and honest, if it rains continuously, not only will the grain not be honest, but it will also make the grain that is close to maturity germinate and moldy on the plants, and then the grain will probably rot in the ground and have no harvest!
After having breakfast with the children, Junwen Junshu and Afu Aman went out to class. Zhixian Zhide also went to the front yard to study, and only Brother Yun and his little friend Kang He accompanied Qiu Chen in the backyard, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at the garden that was much colder after the rain, the wind broke many branches that day, and the continuous heavy rain withered many flowers, although after the rain was small yesterday, someone cleaned up the fallen leaves and broken branches, but the flowers and trees are still a little withered, and even the leaves have faded away the summer lushness because of the autumn rain, and the color of the leaves has deepened a lot, and it is gloomy and dull.
Qiu Chen didn't say more, Brother Yun over there had already walked up the curved bridge by Ah Fu Aman holding hands and walking towards the Huxin Pavilion, Qiu Chen was in a good mood, and hurriedly got up, helped the girl to the door of the pavilion to meet the three children.
The two girls wanted to kowtow again, but they were pulled by the girls, and they bowed their knees and thanked them before they stopped.
Qiu Chen frowned and waved his hand to pull them up, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, the people in Miaozi Town, who broke the most powerful battle, have all withdrawn." In the other executions, water is limited...... None of your homes are by the river, so there shouldn't be a big deal. ”
The two girls were naturally overjoyed and admired, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to thank them.
Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Yuegui, seeing that she nodded in confirmation, Qiu Chen turned his gaze back, walked wordlessly all the way to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and sat down under the service of the girls, then he turned his head to look at Gardenia and Sakura, who were standing at the door of the pavilion, and after a while, he ordered someone to call Gardenia and Sakura, and ordered: "It's useless for you to worry here...... Write down your village and your family, and I'll send someone out of town to see it...... Don't worry too much, as long as people are okay, everything else is fine. ”
Yuegui and Xuanbing followed Qiu Chen's side, naturally noticing Madame's gaze, seeing Qiu Chen continue to walk down, Yuegui looked at Xuanbing, and still attached it to Qiu Chen's ear and whispered: "Gardenia and Sakura, their homes are both in the suburbs of Beijing...... I'm afraid I'm worried about whether there is a flood at home! ”
At the corner of the stairs in the corridor, Qiu Chen glanced back and saw Gardenia holding on to the handrail of the stairs in a daze, and several other girls and mothers-in-law followed, only she was left behind. Immediately, Sakurako, who was with her, noticed that she had fallen, and hurriedly fell back and pulled her, so she hurriedly followed.
Yuegui and Xuanbing agreed, turned around and told the little girl to go down and pass the word. Under the service of the girls, Qiu Chen wore a loose jacket embroidered with chrysanthemums on lake silk and green, and a wide tapestry curtain, wrapped his shoulders and arms, held the hands of laurel and Xuan Bing, and carefully got down from the Magnolia Pavilion and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.
"This kid, thank you for what......" Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, took the bird's nest and ate it slowly, handed the empty cup to Yuegui, took the warm light salt water and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Send someone to see my brother and Miss Gongzi, and tell them that breakfast is placed in the pavilion in the lake today...... It rained for several days in a row, and finally the rain stopped, so don't stay in the house anymore, and go out to breathe. ”
"Mrs. Xie......" Gardenia breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking Qiu Chen, she stood up on her knees.
Qiu Chen just looked at Gardenia's ugly face and said a word of concern, seeing her so nervous, he really couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm just asking, it's okay!" ”
Scared and apprehensive in her heart, Gardenia couldn't laugh even more, all she could do was to try to stabilize her feelings and replied: "Mrs. Xie asked, I'm fine, it's fine, it's really good......"
Gardenia was worried in her heart, she really couldn't hold up her smile, and when she was asked by Qiu Chen at this time, her heart jumped, and she immediately thought of herself crying and mourning like this, Mrs. is about to give birth, and several grandmothers are most taboo that someone speaks badly and cries with a sad face......
Qiu Chen smiled slightly, his gaze swept over Feng Qing and Gardenia, and then he frowned slightly: "What's wrong with Gardenia?" But not feeling well? How bad is your face......"
“…… Madame, wait a minute, you can eat the bird's nest back, and it's not too late for us to go down for a walk! Yuegui smiled and comforted, looked back and saw Feng Qing and Gardenia turn back, her eyes swept over Gardenia's face, and hurriedly beckoned Feng Qing to send the bird's nest up, she took it out of the food box, served it to Qiu Chen, and said with a smile: "Look, these two girls can't help but chatter, before the words fell, they came in!" ”
Yuegui and Xuan Bing waited for Qiu Chen to put on his clothes and comb them, and were drinking a cup of autumn pear honey water, sitting on the couch by the window and looking at the beautiful morning glow outside.
Carrying the food box containing the stew, Gardenia and Feng gently turned back to the Magnolia Pavilion, and the lady had already gotten up.
Because the rain had just stopped, there were not many people who came in to deliver ingredients, and those few people didn't know much about the situation in her village, but they knew that the low-lying villages in western Beijing were flooded, and the crops in the fields were all destroyed...... Although Gardenia's home is not near the river, the terrain is low, and their adobe thatched house was built when their father was there, which has been more than ten years, and it has long been dilapidated, and I don't know if this rain can hold up......
When Gardenia came back from the kitchen, the gloom on her face was much thicker.
However, on weekdays, the work of serving food and taking food is done by a third-class girl, and at most a second-class girl will be sent over...... The four of them have learned medical skills, and they pay special attention to the physical condition of their wife on weekdays, and deal with possible situations in a timely manner. Today, Yuegui specially sent her to the kitchen to see the bird's nest...... This is to give her a chance to ask for news in the big kitchen. On the side of the big kitchen, there are not only the stewards who are responsible for purchasing, but also the farmers outside who come to deliver ingredients and charcoal...... But the most convenient place in the house. Especially before breakfast, it happened to be the time when she was rushing to deliver fresh ingredients inside, and she went over to inquire about the situation at home!
After Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen moved to the back garden with the children, small kitchens were set up in each courtyard, however, the small kitchen equipment was simple and there were few personnel, just boiling water for drinking and bathing, and the kitchen of Yulan Building could make some stews and boil medicines, but the daily meals and stews were still made by the large kitchen of Mu'en Courtyard, and the girls and mothers-in-law went over to take them on time. Because there are few masters, the girls and mothers-in-law are siblings, but there are not many more things.
Gardenia was slightly stunned, then showed a touch of joy, and quickly got up and bent her knees to the laurel, followed the wind lightly downstairs, and walked to the large kitchen of Mu'en Courtyard in front.
"Gardenia, you follow the trend and go to the kitchen to have a look, and bring back the lady's bird's nest. Madame is about to wake up! Yuegui picked up the tent on the couch and looked at it, and hurriedly turned back to command.
Among these girls, Xuan Bing and Feng Qing are all born in the family, and their families are all in the house. Although Yuegui and Xiaoxi were bought from outside, their home is in Anyang Mansion...... After all, there are still four or five hundred miles away from there, and it is waterlogging and raining around the capital, but Anyang Mansion may be smooth and rainy, yes, only the girls who live in the suburbs of Beijing are really worried.
Sakurako, another medical woman with her, also had a sad face.
I wonder if my home was also affected by this heavy rain......
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it has been almost three years since she left home, and her mother doesn't know what happened? Are the younger siblings now grown up?
In this way, three years later, my mother still couldn't hold it and sold her. She still has a younger brother and a younger sister, and she sold her mother to get ten taels of silver, and at least two years of grain and rice money......
Before my father left, their family was also a small rich family in the village, my father was loving, my mother was gentle, and the key was that my father and mother loved her very much...... But since her father was gone, she couldn't turn back, and her family suddenly became poor. My mother had to go down to the fields to farm, go up the mountains to chop firewood, and work hard to feed her children. She has changed from the treasure in the palm of her father to a weed that no one cares about, her mother works hard every day, and her temper is also short-tempered, and she often attracts a violent beating if she wants to be naughty and cause trouble...... So, she gradually avoided her mother and learned to climb trees...... Not to dig birds, but to pick walnuts and persimmons in high places; I learned to go down the river, not to swim, but to catch fish and shrimp to add a dish to my family......
Gardenia baked a small azure chrysanthemum clip skirt of lake silk on the smoker cage to remove the moisture, put it on the coat rack next to it, and then raised her eyes and looked out the window again. The sky changed very quickly, and the morning glow, which was still in the air just now, had faded a little, and the golden sunlight came up, baking the clouds into a rich golden red, which was dazzling. Just like the day she remembered her father leaving home......
As soon as these words came out, not only Feng Qing was startled, but even Xuan Bing and Yue Gui were surprised, and then several people restrained their expressions and started to work silently.
Gardenia glanced at her, lowered her eyes, continued to prepare the clothes that Madame was going to wear, and said slowly: "That person is my father!" ”
"Ah, really?" Feng Qing, who was listening to the side, was frightened and asked.
"You're rejoicing too soon!" Gardenia was not happy, and looked worriedly at the morning glow, which stretched almost half of the sky, and said worriedly, "The morning glow doesn't go out...... The morning glow is a sign of a change in the sky, and it will rain on this day...... This statement is accurate, and a person in our village just didn't believe it, and it rained heavily and hail within two hours of going out...... The next day, he was sent back dead...... I was stoned to death by a hailstone! ”
"Thankfully, it looks like it's really good. The weather is better, but in two or three days, the slightly higher crops can be relieved! Xuan Bing smiled with relief on his face, and two small dimples loomed at the corners of his mouth, revealing joy.
The light rain was often incessant, but this time it was surprisingly only one day before it stopped. When I got up early the next morning, I saw a red morning glow.
After breakfast, Ping'an and Zhao Jiu were brought into the Yulan Pavilion, and Qiu Chen also helped Chen and Chengying to the hall downstairs to meet them. He told them in detail about his plan, and asked the two of them to repeat it, and then sent the two of them to immediately set off to deal with it.
After a brief pause, Qiu Chen said: "You even called Zhao Jiu and Ping'an over, I have something to tell them to do it together!" ”
Qiu Chen hooked the corners of his lips and showed a mocking smile, and said helplessly: "Tell the next person, you don't have to buy me anything, but you can't lose the reputation of a bully......
Chen's face became solemn unconsciously, and he looked at Qiu Chen and nodded solemnly: "Madame, don't worry." I thought about it before, but now that my wife understands it, I will definitely teach the people in the house to understand that I will never do anything wrong. ”
Halfway through Qiu Chen's words, Chen understood. After all, she grew up in a noble family in Beijing, and after going through the ups and downs related to the imperial court, she has made friends with many noble families, and has gone through two generations of emperors, and her sensitivity to politics has almost been soaked to the bones. At first, she was sincerely grateful for the kindness of her wife for those disaster victims, but as soon as Qiu Chen said a little, she also understood that buying the hearts of the people is not something that ordinary people can do, especially the noble family, and it is even more untouchable.
"I'm afraid no one wants to have this blessing!" Qiu Chen glanced at Chen with a smile, restrained his expression and said, "Mama must not say that...... Well, I also passed the word to Master Hou, I got out of the poor days, and I didn't have so much grain and rice for those disaster victims to eat...... When the rain stops, we will explain to the victims, but if they can walk, we will provide pickaxes, small hoes and shovels, and take them to the fields to dig sweet potatoes and horse bells...... Dig ten pounds to get a pound, and grab it out before it rots and sprouts. By that, there are also picking peppers, picking corn, picking peppers, and shaving peanuts...... You can also use sweet potatoes and potatoes to pay for your wages...... It can also be compensated with straw...... Well, forget it, don't tell Hou Ye about this, he must have a lot of important things, I'm afraid I can't pay attention to this, you pass Zhao Jiu over, I will tell him carefully. ”
Mama Chen showed a bright smile and said: "This is really a good thing, thanks to Mrs. Thoughtfulness, and thanks to Mrs. Kindness and Gentleness, those people who have suffered disasters can meet Mrs., it is really their blessing." ”
She also knew that the seemingly prosperous Ming Dynasty opened up its territory and stabilized the frontier, but because of the successive wars in the past few years, it spent a lot of money and food. In addition, every year, there are large and small disasters in different areas, such as droughts, floods and even plagues...... Emperor Jingshun is also a 'benevolent and peaceful king', and there are many reductions in disasters...... In this way, the Yongding River flood, the treasury is obviously unable to take out a large amount of grain and rice relief, then, can take out the grain and rice relief, and by the way to get some benefits, not to fall into the suspicion of buying the hearts of the people, the emperor may not be rewarded, but will definitely not be punished!
Of course, many of her measures are likely to attract the attacks of those crow-like imperial historians, and the charges are very ready-made, which is nothing more than falling into the well, taking advantage of the disaster to exploit the people and compete with the people for profit...... However, Qiu Chen didn't care about these charges. The fact that the victims were able to survive is the best proof of this. No matter how much those imperial histories chirp, who of them can come up with money and food to help the victims?
She earned money, bought land, and saved the lives of the victims...... Kill more than one stone, and not fall into the mouth.
In addition, she can buy the flooded town of Miaozi and provide food for the victims to rebuild their houses and roads, and then sell them......
She was able to take this opportunity to acquire some land in order to expand the area of Zhuangzi. In the same way, it is also possible to recruit some disaster victims with good character as farmers, and supplement the labor force to be used for the expansion of Zhuangzi and the workshop in the future.
Don't look at the flooding of Miaozi Town this time, in fact, as long as the river embankment is repaired and the water conservancy is built, that large area of land can be fertile fields with convenient watering conditions. There is also convenient water and land transportation in Miaozi Town, which is also suitable for opening a workshop here......
The homes of these thousands of people have really been washed with water, not to mention the property and food, probably many people's houses have also collapsed...... It is now the end of July, and the frost has fallen in late August and early September, and these people have lost their income this season, the water has receded, and the winter wheat that follows is probably delayed...... There is no income for two seasons inside and out, and if these people want to survive, they can only rely on handouts...... Of course, Qiu Chen didn't want to give relief completely free of charge...... She won't do that kind of thing that has the ambiguity to buy the people's hearts.
Lightly unfolding a relieved smile, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "It's good to be hungry, where is the taste at this time...... Guoli Zhuangzi is on high ground, less affected by rain, the sweet potatoes planted should not affect the growth, send someone to inform the master, and eat on the Zhuangzi here, after eating, the other side can also be connected to the ......"
At the beginning, she was keen to introduce sweet potatoes and potatoes, for her own appetite is certainly a factor, but she can say with a clear conscience that the vast majority of them are to save more people from the suffering of hunger, and also to think that in a disaster year, it can also avoid the kind of human tragedy of selling children and girls and changing children for food because of lack of food. It was her original intention to be able to help the victims, and she was certainly grateful.
Hearing these words in Qiu Chen's ears did make her feel a little relieved.
Seeing that his wife's expression was gloomy and calm, Chen relieved himself a little, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, the horse bells and sweet potatoes always feel faint and tasteless when they eat too much, but this time, when something happens, I can see that it is getting better." Thanks to these things in the ground, the ground is hungry, and the sweet potato vine leaves are picked to be vegetables...... Otherwise, there are more than a thousand mouths to eat at once, which is really making people scratch their heads. ”
Chen replied cautiously, for fear that his wife would be frightened and hurt herself...... Mrs. is just seven months pregnant, but her belly is bigger than that of pregnant women in labor, but her belly is long, people are not fat, and the thinness of her body makes it more and more ridiculously big to have a big belly, just like hanging a big ball in front of her, trembling and shaky, as if she can fall off with a slight movement, and people can't help but be afraid!
