The hostess smiled embarrassedly: "We have never used electricity here, and the batteries used in the flashlight have to be bought in the town more than ten miles away." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf you want to call, there is a department store in the town, and the price is not expensive, you can go there and check it out. ”

The hostess looked at the mobile phone in Ling Yang's hand, which was similar to the regional PHS, her eyes were blazing, obviously she had never seen this kind of high-end goods. Finally, the hostess couldn't stand her curiosity, blushed, and asked Ling Yang tentatively: "What you are holding in your hand, is it a mobile phone, I have never seen it, can you, let me take a look"

Ling Yang generously handed the mobile phone to the hostess: "When I leave, I will simply give you the mobile phone, anyway, it is not very useful, there is no coverage signal in many places, it is really not easy to use"

The hostess hurriedly stuffed the phone back into Ling Yang's hand, her face flushed: "I didn't mean to ask you for anything, really, although we are poor, we will never take advantage of others."

Ling Yang smiled, no longer reluctant, and changed the topic, asking how far away it was from Jiangjie City. Although the hostess was just an ordinary peasant woman, she seemed to be very knowledgeable and spoke in a clear manner.

After some introduction, Ling Yang knew. Originally, it was located in the southeast of Jiangjie City, and it no longer belonged to the jurisdiction of Jiangjie City, but a small village in Donghe Town, Nanpu City.

Nanpu City is close to the sea and the famous Nanpu Port is a very important deep-water port in the Southern Dynasty. Moreover, Nanpu produces rare metals such as rare earths and chromium, and is a relatively famous city in the Southern Dynasties. Nanpu City and Jiangjie City are not far from each other, Ling Yang drilled into the deep mountains, panicked, and actually went in the opposite direction, under the leadership of Xiao Liang, he came here.

Because Jiangjie City and Huaguo are only separated by a mountain and a river, the border cities have developed relatively rapidly, although they are still in a planned economy, but the small capital business of the people has gradually begun to sprout, and the number of resident businessmen from Huaguo is tens of thousands, and the consumption level is not low, which has led to the development of the local economy. The people's lives are quite passable.

Compared with Jiangjie, the economic situation of Nanpu City has taken a sharp turn for the worse, although it produces expensive rare metals, and the annual cargo throughput of the port is also very huge, but the gap between the rich and the poor is very serious, and the huge wealth is often concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the ordinary people are even struggling to make ends meet, and countless people die of hunger and cold.

The hostess is a typical peasant woman in the Southern Dynasty, her husband's surname is Cao, and she also follows the surname Cao, and her nickname in her mother's house before marriage is called Haiyan, because her family lives in a village by the sea, and makes a living by drying sea salt, barely making a living.

Cao Haiyan's husband's name is Cao Jing, and he is not capable of anything, just an honest farmer. However, Cao Jing has a distant cousin, who is a well-known foreign trade businessman in Nanpu City, and seeing that his cousin is living a difficult life, he took Cao Jing to his ocean freighter and became a small leader of porters, and his income is not low.

Cao Haiyan thought that he would live a good life in the future, but he did not expect that in a storm on the Yellow Sea, the ocean-going freighter capsized into the seabed, and all the crew members were not spared, after Cao Haiyan cried, he could only live alone with a pair of children and children, and he couldn't go on, so he went to Nanpu City to find the cousin of his deceased husband to help.

Cao Jing's cousin, Nian Zai's dead brother left the children of the same surname family, at the beginning he would take out a little money to help Cao Haiyan live, but with the passage of the annual rings, a heart gradually faded, and he refused to see Cao Haiyan for a long time, Cao Haiyan had to carry a bag of coarse salt back every month with the help of his mother's family, peddling it in the town market, and using the coarse grains and potatoes exchanged to feed a son and a daughter to grow up.

Ling Yang felt sour and uncomfortable when he heard this, it happened that Cao Haiyan's pair of children who were only twelve or thirteen years old came back from outside with firewood, and their heads were covered with snowflakes, but they just picked up some dry branches and pine needles and pine towers, and put them in a snakeskin bag, and just pushed open the door, they saw Ling Yang who was dressed in bright clothes, all of them were timidly speechless, hiding behind their mother, looking at Ling Yang curiously, but they refused to come out to say hello.

Ling Yang attended Park Jung-hee's birthday party last night, and he didn't have much money with him. Ling Yang knew the stinky rules of a wealthy aristocrat like the Park family, and in order not to lose face in the Park family, he brought more than a dozen gold rings with simple shapes on his body as a reward for the servants and servants.

This kind of gold ring was very popular in the Southern Dynasties, the workmanship was rough, but it was better than the amount of thick and thick, it was the hard currency widely used by the people, and even when the goods were exchanged, it was more popular than the worthless Southern Dynasty Yuan. Ling Yang thanked the hostess for providing a place to stay, and really wanted to help Cao Haiyan's family, so he took out the gold ring and stuffed it into Cao Haiyan's hand: "There are only so many, take it and exchange it for some food for the child." ”

Cao Haiyan was taken aback when he saw Ling Yang's such a generous gift, and refused to accept anything: "The family is simple, just let your husband and wife spend the night, and you can't even entertain some decent food, how can you accept such a valuable gift?"

Ling Yang looked at Cao Haiyan's eyes sincerely: "Our husband and wife are both businessmen in Huaguo, not to mention that the family is rich and rich, and life is not bad, I really like your two sensible children, so I will lend a hand, and please don't refuse for the sake of the children."

Cao Haiyan burst into tears, knowing that the gold was exchanged for food, which was enough for his family of three to not have to worry about it for a year or two, looking at the two yellow-skinned children behind him, Cao Haiyan actually grunted and knelt down in front of Ling Yang.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, Cao Haiyan's son and daughter, although they are not very old, they can already see the height of their eyebrows, knowing that Ling Yang's move can save their mother from hard work and sorrow, and there is no sympathy between gifts, so they kneel down together without their mother's signal, and kneel down together, grateful.

Ling Yang hurriedly helped up the three members of the Cao family, pretending to smile easily: "I have been drilling in the deep mountains and old forests for most of the night, and now I am very hungry, hurry up and get some food for me to eat, replenish my strength, and go to the town to call." ”

Cao Haiyan burst into tears and laughed, and bowed to Ling Yang again, so that the child lit a fire and boiled water, and he went to the neighbor's house in the backyard to borrow oil and food, and entertained Ling Yang well.

After the three members of the Cao family were busy, Ling Yang returned to the bedroom, and just heard Chu Wanyi let out a faint moan, so he ran over in surprise, sat on the low stool, and probed the temperature on Chu Wanyi's forehead with the back of his hand: "You finally woke up, do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
