The cold wind is howling, the city has not sent food for disaster relief for a long time, and the village is becoming more and more silent in such hunger and cold, but the outbreak hidden in this way is terrifying. After Kang Hong Kang Ze went out, she took them to see the grain she had hidden in two places, Kang Hong Kang Ze was shocked, and Qian Xi told them that she was going to do one thing, a very important thing for them, and before the time came, the food could not be known to anyone, let alone taken out in front of people.

It's just that there is still no news of food distribution in the capital for half a month, and the news of starving people has come again and again, and I regret that the time has come.

Let people invite the village chief in the village, and Qian Xi said straight to the point, "Village chief, I have the food that I have hoarded before, and the village chief also knows that my eldest son is fighting outside, and these grains were originally prepared for him, and now the village is severely affected, I am willing to take out the grain and make an exchange with everyone, and exchange land for food!" ”

"Ah, young lady, young lady, seriously?" The village chief didn't expect to get such good news this time, his family has a large population, and there is no food in store for a year, others only know that Qianxi is the wife of a big family, but for some reason he lives in their village, but he clearly knows that Qianxi is the Ming family, the young lady of the Ming family. The eldest prince of the Ming family is now fighting in Nanzhao, and it is said that the three armies are all dispatched by him.

However, the village chief quickly calmed down, the field is the root of the peasant, "I don't know how to change the young lady?" ”

"Eighteen catties per acre of paddy fields, thirteen catties per acre of sloping land, with Lujia Village as the first." The village chief's lips trembled with excitement when he heard this, and he stood up and bowed vigorously to Qianxi, "Young lady, little old man, little old man on behalf of our village, thank you, thank you!" ”

"The village chief doesn't have to make this big gift. This matter is troublesome to inform the villagers that the exchange will start tomorrow at the end of the day, while the exchange lasts! Qian Xi avoided daring to accept the courtesy, and said to the village chief with a smile, and the village chief stood up straight, "I, I, I'll tell the good news to the villagers, let's go." ”

Running out excitedly, he really didn't look like an old man in his fifties.

The sky is not clear, but one after another people are waiting outside the Zhuangzi, not only to exchange grain for land, but it is a pity that people will move the grain in the Zhuangzi and put it in front of the door. Ming Zhuowei left a lot of guards in Zhuangzi, and it was a pity to let Master Liu lead people to maintain order and avoid chaos in someone's life.

"Young lady, everyone outside the door is full, the sky is pitiful, many people are skinny!" Li Datou's family looked outside, and went into the house to wipe his tears and speak. It is a pity not to say, natural disasters**, and those who struggle with the ups and downs in it have always been low-level people.

beckoned Kang Hong Kang Ze to come over, and said with a pity: "When you change the land, you are in front, and you two are the pillars of your mother, you know?" ”

"Mother, I know!" Kang Hong Kang Ze replied in unison. Looking at the sky, Qianxi said: "The hour has come, you go out!" ”

Pulling up their clothes, the brothers walked out step by step towards the open door, and the people outside the door were boiling, "Open the door, open the door!" Take a look, go ahead. ”

The crowd was about to rush forward, and Master Liu shouted with people: "Line up, line up, all line up." ”

"This time the land for food, in line with the principle of mutual voluntariness, if you do not want to, please leave." Kang Hong spoke with a small face, their brothers walked around the village, and almost the entire Lujia Village knew them. And Kang Hong has a small face, and his appearance similar to Ming Zhuowei is extremely shocking.

"Land for grain, one acre of paddy field for eighteen catties of grain, one acre of sloping field for thirteen catties, each queue can not be contested." Kang Hong paused for a while to see that no one left, and then continued to speak, and the people below were excited, "Eighteen catties of grain for one acre of paddy field, which is twice as much as what we usually sell!" ”

Kang Hong Kang Ze stood on both sides, Li Datou led people to divide the two pulls and exchanges, and their brothers looked at the land deeds that were exchanged, those who were holding the grain wept bitterly, Kang Hong looked up and saw that scene, and his eyes flashed with determination.

"Little boy, thank you, thank you!" There was an old man who was not good at speaking and bowed to Kang Ze with a big bag of grain and thanked him, Kang Ze tried hard to learn from Kang Hong's straight face, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a curvature, "Uncle don't thank you, go home quickly!" ”

The people who changed the grain one after another came to thank them heartily, until dusk, the grain was changed, the villagers of Lujia Village basically exchanged enough food for a family to eat for three or four months, and the other villages hurriedly came, and learned that there was no food, and those people immediately sat in front of the door and cried bitterly, Kang Hong looked at it, biting his lip and not even feeling pain when blood flowed.

Such a heart-rending pain was like an invisible knife piercing his heart, but he remembered what Qian Xi had told them the day before yesterday, a person, after he has a good life, can think of helping others, helping others with his own strength, and it is enough to do his best. The world is vast, people are too small and fragile in it, and a person who does not care about himself and his family for the sake of others is even more selfish.

He is not alone, he will be sad that he has not been able to help more people, but he will not want to ignore his mother and the entire Zhuangzi people, they still have about 2,000 catties of grain in their home, but they are reserved for next year's drought.

"Mother." Kang Hong threw himself into Qianxi's arms and took a deep breath, only in this way would he not feel so painful.

Looking at Kang Hong's brow that was still not developed after he fell asleep, as well as the bite marks on his lips, Qian Xi unconsciously reflected on whether she should teach him in a different way. Unlike Kang Ze's big grin, Kang Hong is quiet and silent, but his mind must be delicate and sensitive, so that he can see the cruelty of this world too early, all kinds of bodies are involuntarily, is the impact too great?

The two children are smart, she is also very worried while she is happy, she has no experience in teaching children, and what she is doing now is all stumbling and learning slowly, but this world is too cannibalistic, she hopes that they can be strong, and she is worried about whether she is too eager and brings harm to them! Secretly sighed, Qian Xi frowned, unable to stretch for a long time.

"Peng", the door of Zhuangzi was pushed open, "Master Qian, please wait, after we go to tell Mrs., then invite Prince Qian to enter the village." ”

As a guard guarding Zhuangzi, he dutifully blocked in front of the coming Qianhui. There was a hint of coldness on her feminine and handsome cheeks, and Qianhui waved away the person who stood in the way, "Get out of the way." "Walk straight inside.

What he didn't expect was that Qianxi was sitting in front of the hall, and Qianhui was surprised in his heart, but then he thought that this person who bleeds the same blood with him grew up in such a lowly environment, and his hands were thicker than him, and his heart was full of disgust.

"The eldest prince broke into the door early in the morning, I don't know what happened?" Qianxi met Qianhui's cold gaze and asked lightly.

is different from the silence of the previous two meetings, let him insult her, don't you think that Ming Zhuowei will support her? Qianhui sneered, "I want all the food you have left!" ”

It's not an inquiry, it's not a discussion, it's a gesture of declaration, at this moment, Qianhui is still high, he looks at Qianxi's eyes, there is disgust, disdain, and charity. Almsgiving, a thousand regrets, I don't know why he thinks that standing in this Ming family Zhuangzi and asking for the grain in her hand, she will feel that it is her honor?

After not getting a response from Qianxi for a long time, Qianhui's eyes moved to Qianxi, and when she saw the sneering smile that had not yet disappeared from the corner of her mouth, her eyes narrowed, "You didn't hear what I said!" ”

"Is the eldest prince talking to the concubine?" Qianxi asked like this, looking directly at Qianhui, his eyes were faint, but he lightly aroused Qianhui's anger, who gave her the courage to talk to him like this, look at him like this. Qianhui walked forward, he wanted to step forward to make a move, but Qianxi took the bow and arrow in front of the case, and directly pulled the bow to Qianhui, "Qiandagongzi will take another step forward and try." ”

The dark jade-like eyes, only endless coldness at this time, Qianhui narrowed his eyes, "It's useless to bluff, hand over the grain." ”

"Bluffing, don't you take another step forward to try, am I bluffing." Qianxi is completely a posture ready to open the bow at any time, "Drought and natural disasters, the people have no harvest, I exchanged grain for land yesterday, Qianda Gongzi did not invite himself, and broke in, I mistakenly thought that the thief entered the village with bad intentions, raised a bow and shot the thief, who can say that I am not?" ”

"You dare!" Qianhui's pupils dilated, and Qianxi snorted coldly, "Why don't I dare?" ”

"You think you'll live if I'm dead." As soon as Qianhui changed his words, the thousand families he brought immediately poured in, surrounding the entire hall, and the people left by Ming Zhuowei for her were not as many as half of the people he brought. "Now, do you dare?"

Qianxi still stretched his bow, "The eldest prince of Qian thought that he was born in a family, and looked down on me as a person raised by a peasant woman, but I didn't know that the eldest prince broke into the door and asked for food; If you want food, you want to grab food, like a thief, if these things are spread out, will the prince still have the face to live? Or, entering a private house and forcing a woman, this is the so-called demeanor of the family? ”

"I will ask you one more thing, where is the grain? Do you give, or don't you give? Qianhui's eyes were on fire, obviously because he was angry with Qianxi, but such a person who was all in the palm of his hand was a person who had no grace because of Qianxi's few words, but he had a past. Qian Xi smiled, "It seems that the Qianjia family is running out of food, otherwise, the thousand eldest prince will not give me face like this, let me send the food to the thousand eldest prince." ”

Qianxi has never been a docile person, but living in this world, she can't help herself, she can only restrain all her temper and smooth out all the water chestnuts, just to be able to live. However, that does not mean that she will bow her head all her life and always grovel to others, and when she has the opportunity to fight back, the humiliation she suffered will naturally be returned little by little.
