Chapter 248: Human Affection

People are sophisticated, and there have always been contacts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

That's human affection.

So after some deliberation last night, Father Qin simply handed over the matter of going to the lotus flower to return the gift to Qin Lianbao, who could be regarded as having indirectly dealt with that family.

Qin Lianbao naturally has nothing that he shouldn't.

It's just that in addition to going by himself, he originally only planned to bring the peppercorns that he didn't even want to put with him.

I didn't expect this string of little boys in the family to be okay, although I have a good impression of the family and am very interested, but in the end I still have to go to school, even if I have this heart, I really don't have the courage to skip school.

It's just a private discussion to wait until the New Year's holiday before making plans.

Not to mention the lilac leaves, in the little girl, even the fennel is thinking about it and wants to go to the lotus swing to have a look.

Yesterday, after untying the lotus leaf bag from the peach tree at the foot of the mountain, and knowing that it contained dried yams, Fennel was very surprised, and also had a stomach of questions to ask. But the age is here, and thinking is naturally limited.

After returning home, after hearing the praise and pity of the elders, she suddenly understood the truth that she was learning in the past two days, "if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world".

As Qin Lao Niang said, people are not poor.

Although people are poor, they can keep themselves and not take advantage, this is upbringing. As for the practice of human affection and etiquette, this is even more of a cultivation for people.

Fennel couldn't help but be in awe and admiration.

begged, and then Lilac and Xiangye pulled Qin Lianbao's sleeves one by one, where could Qin Lianbao still say the word "no", so he simply packed up their sisters together.

The four little sisters sat in a carriage full of gifts in return, still muttering about the family's origins.

Lilac felt that the family must be a family of scholars, people are obedient from books, and if they don't read, how can they know so many people's sophistication.

As for the negative example, she knew it in her heart, so she didn't say it and was punished.

But Fennel thinks that those who understand human feelings and sophistication in this world are not necessarily scholars. People who have read books do not necessarily understand the world.

After all, readers often only understand the "facts" in the book, but they do not understand the "worldly principles" of the world.

The two of them argued endlessly, and the peppercorns and bay leaves listened with their ears on the side.

Qin Lianbao drove the carriage all the way, listening to the chatter and argument of several little girls in the carriage, and the smile on his face never dissipated.

It's just that after thinking about it, I finally decided not to take the liberty of bothering for the time being.

After all, although the little girls know a limited amount of human feelings, he knows that shanty dwellers are never ordinary households.

The homeless people fled their households, broke away from the control of the township rules and clan rituals, left their hometowns and displaced, called friends and attracted more and more people, and the tamers who kept their own farming and lived were inherently seven or eight out of ten, and those who could escape from the fierce thieves, thieves, prostitution, gambling and fighting were also two or three out of ten.

Not to mention these outlaws who gathered together to steal and plunder people's property, and even the ants attached to the bees and raised up to cause civil unrevolt, it is not unheard of in history.

A rat poop spoils a pot of porridge, that's the truth.

Just because the shanty people are often indistinguishable from the good and the bad, and the shanty people who have constant household work and production in order to make a living, they have to reclaim the mountains and forests, cut down the wood and set up the sheds, and then make hemp seeds, paper and mushrooms, and burn charcoal.

Over time, the common people, clans, and the government will naturally not welcome the homeless shack people to live in front of their homes. If there is any trace of the shanty people, they will inevitably report to the government and expel the shanty people.

Nominally, they were sent back to their hometowns to pay food and pay for them, but in fact, they were just beggar-thy-neighbors and drove them to other places to make a living. As for how the evicted shack dwellers will survive, this is not a question for them......

Although in the eyes of Qin Lianbao and the Qin family, although the family on the bank of the lotus is a shantytown, it is also a good family with a clean and upright family.

Such a family, even if it is a shantytown, but since they have a fateful acquaintance, and there is such a fateful meeting, they are willing to make friends.

However, it is difficult to say whether people are willing to associate with ordinary households like their families, who are usually in opposition to each other or even contradict each other, through these two avoidances.

Instead of rushing to the door to cause trouble to others, it is better to make friends gradually and slowly.

Stop the carriage next to the lotus swing and explain the reason briefly to the little girls.

Although Fennel, who probably understood what was going on, and Fragrant Leaves, who didn't understand it at all, were a little disappointed, they still nodded and responded.

Qin Lianbao went to see Lilac again, and Lilac hung his head and responded: "Okay, let's come back next time." ”

Qin Lianbao laughed and went to look at the peppercorns again.

Lilac was also peeking at the peppercorns, crying too hard yesterday, but the peppercorns that grew two "lying silkworms" overnight nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”

So he went to see the peach tree.

I thought about it in my heart, but I didn't know that there had to be a lot of movement to be able to see it on the mountainside......

Lilac looked at the peppercorns that couldn't stop rolling in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

But I quickly regained my mood, not this time, and not next time.

jumped out of the carriage and helped Qin Lianbao carry the things on the carriage to the peach tree at the foot of the mountain.

Winter clothes and bedding to keep out the cold, rice and flour grains for the stomach, as well as condiments such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, and small dishes made by Qin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law such as soy sauce and soy sauce.

Although there are not many things, they can basically meet the needs of a family of three or four this winter.

And for these return gifts, the Qin family was also busy all night.

The key is to think that it may be difficult for this family to have such a tool for processing grain, and if the rice and wheat are all rubbed by two hands, it will be too sinful.

The Qin Lianhu brothers peeled off the husks of the rice overnight and ground the wheat into flour.

As for the winter coat and bedding to protect against the cold, except for two quilts, Yao and Luo took out new cotton tires and quilts respectively, which were immediately ordered. Although most of the winter clothes are worn and used, there are also six or seven new, and the best cotton wool is used, so it is not a problem to keep warm.

It's just that they are all adult's cotton jackets and cotton pants, although they are both men and women, and they have been specially checked many times, and there are no holes and insect moths.

But Huajiao thought of the string of small footprints, and after a little thought, he ran to Luo's side, who was ordering a quilt, and said to her: "Mother, does my sixth brother have a padded jacket that he can't wear?" ”

Roche was a little surprised, they didn't think that there might be children in that family.

Qin Lao Niang also specially packed a box of sugar cakes for this purpose.

But they also thought about it, and maybe they could make up two small jackets if they changed the big jacket, and if they wanted to make the small clothes bigger, it would be difficult, so they all took the big jacket out.

And she is also going to make some more rulers and needlework, thinking that if she can clean up the dried yams, there must be a capable woman in that family, and needlework is indispensable.

In this way, if the clothes do not fit, the size can be changed by itself.

Hua Jiao told Roche about the string of small footprints she had seen: "Half a year ago, those footprints were about the same size as Seventh Brother's feet, but I don't know if it's a little girl or a little boy." ”

I heard that there were children in that family who were only six or seven years old, not to mention Luo, and even Du Shi couldn't help but fold his hands and chant the Buddha.

Huajiao understands what they are thinking, it is really that the survival rate of adults and children in this world is too low, and if you have a cold or flu, you can kill people.

It's like herself, isn't it just that her family was pulled back from the Nai He Bridge!

Qin Lao Niang was thinking about whether to prepare some commonly used pills. But after all, it is not an auspicious thing to give people pills, and I am worried that if people are illiterate or do not understand pharmacology, they will eat and cause trouble.

So I went to the kitchen and found some ginger.

For Qin Lao Niang, ginger is a good thing.

Dissipate cold and fever, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, and stomach to stop vomiting, but if there are some unfavorable cords on the body, whether it is ginger soup or ginger slices, it can dispel illness and prevent yourself.

What's more, even if you can't finish eating, you can still plant in the coming year, killing two birds with one stone.

And after Yao's concubine went to a few homes, she found a large stack of small clothes and wrapped them one by one with the furoshi.

Du Shi also took a string of shoes out, although her needlework is poor, but she is a good hand at making straw shoes and weaving shoes, this string of shoes is she knitting for the little children in the family to wear at home, this time it is just to take it out and give it away first.

In this way, I packed up some oilcloths, fire folds, pots and bowls and other family vivid things, and when I moved into the carriage before, there were many people with great strength, and I finished moving back and forth, and I didn't think so. This time it will be carried down from the car, and the peppercorns will feel a little difficult.

However, when I saw the full bags and baskets of grain under the peach tree, I still breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

Qin Lianbao looked at the little adult-like peppercorns, patted her on the head, and said to her: "Don't worry, there are even those on this mountain, as long as the winter passes, this day will be better." ”

Hua Jiao nodded, and Qin Lianbao carried her into the carriage.

Lilac stared at her: "Third uncle, are we going home?" ”

went to pull Qin Lianbao's sleeve again: "Third uncle, do you like to pinch yellow finch, there are really a lot of yellow finching here." ”

After speaking, he lowered his voice and came over in his ear, and said: "There are so many things, let's not look at them, they may not know yet, what if they are moved away by others when the time comes?" ”

After saying that, he winked at him.

Qin Lianbao couldn't cry or laugh, and patted Lilac's head: "Obedient, we have to go, your grandfather and grandmother are still waiting for us at home!" ”

Having said that, after the carriage drove out of the lotus swing, thinking that there was no movement on the mountain anymore, Qin Lianbao parked the carriage on the side of the road.

Opened the curtain and made a silent gesture to the little girls who were chattering in the car: "Be quiet, we'll have to go back and take a look later." ”

The bay leaves turned their heads, and the eyes of pepper fennel and cloves were already bright, and they kept nodding.

Sichuan pepper whispered to Xiangye, and Xiangye kept nodding. The four little girls really sat obediently in the car, not daring to move.

Naturally, they didn't know that as soon as they left, there was a sound of rustling footsteps on the forest path, and a pair of small feet wrapped in thick reed leaves stopped when they were about to approach the peach tree.

Listening to the sound of the carriage "creaking", the little man slowly lowered his head, looked at the things under the tree, pursed his lips, slowly knelt on the cold ground, and knocked his head three times before standing up against the dust on his head.

It wasn't until the sound of "squeak, squeak" disappeared in my ears, and I went back and forth seven or eight times that I brought all kinds of food, clothing, and other things on the ground back to my home on the mountainside.

There was a light cheer from the children in the house.

And if Sichuan pepper goes up the mountain to visit this time, even if the simple grass hut that is only one person tall has been planted in my heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the grass hut in the first place.

After all, at some point, the bushes on the side of the cottage were already overgrown with grass and vines.

Although there is only one side of the grass and vines, if there is no fireworks, no one will know that there are people living here not far behind the grass and vines.

Only by peeling off the grass vines and climbing in can you see the grass hut.

However, although the prototype of the grass hut is still there, it is still only more than one person tall and still narrow.

The thick and thin branches that can support the grass hut have all been replaced, and the grass hut has been raised nearly two feet high, and a suspended shape similar to a stilted building has been built, and you can clearly see the bamboo tubes on the floor, and even a small platform in front of the door is covered with dried yams.

The rattan thatch around the hut and on the roof has been upgraded to a scarred wall of branches, and the top is smeared with mud with grass tendons, and the roof is covered with dense thatch.

Although it is still rudimentary, it basically has the ability to shelter from the wind and rain.

And on the door of the black hole before, there was a big curtain made of reeds.

I couldn't see the layout of the house, but there were cheers coming out of the curtain.

It was only when the curtain of the door was lifted that a small person ran out of the hut with a note, and after looking at it for a long time under the sun, he suddenly realized that this was actually a topographic map.

At this end of the map, there is an irregular circle, and there are small fish and birds drawn on it, which is obviously the lotus swing in front. The zigzag ink lines, with the end of the grass and trees on both sides of the stream, are connected to a rectangular house.

In the courtyard of the house, there is still a smiling face drawn.

The little man looked at the smiling face and couldn't help but show a big smile.

Suddenly, he folded the note and stuffed it into his arms, and after three or two clicks, he had climbed to the top of the chestnut tree on the side, just in time to see the back of the carriage leaving.

The little man's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood, until the figure of the carriage disappeared from sight, and then he slid down the tree.

Standing in the local area, looking around, I suddenly felt that there were still many things I could do and had to do. (To be continued.) )
