Tang Daming happily told the news to everyone in Hujia Village. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the court still managed them, there would be a way to live in the future.

At dinner, Hu Dayou happily talked to Wei Sanniang about it.

“…… With the help of the court, let's save a little more by ourselves, and I believe that we can survive the second half of the year. Now I just hope that the rain will stop sometimes. If this continues, the fields will be completely destroyed. ”

"You say, will the court give us food?" Wei Sanniang said.

"I can't say for sure." Fox Dayou thought about it and said, how many people are there in the entire Weixian City, if it is opened to release grain, it is not a small amount. But if you don't release food, how can the court save the people?

"I heard that when there was a flood in the Yangtze River last year, there were some dignitaries and nobles in the court who had soup kitchens." This news was heard by Wei Sanniang from Wei Qifeng.

"If it's really just soup kitchen, then we farmers will be miserable, and we are not in the market, so can we take a bowl to the market every day to scoop porridge? Besides, no matter how much porridge there is in the court, no matter how many nobles there are, it is impossible to have porridge every day, and when the court does not give porridge, won't the common people have to go hungry? ”

Fox Dayou frowned, they are farmers in the countryside, and they don't have any exact sources, and they don't know how the Yangtze River area survived the difficulties last year.

But he felt: "Those high-ranking officials and nobles are just taking the opportunity to earn face, who will give porridge every day, as for the court, maybe they will help everyone tide over the difficulties." But if you encounter a bad corrupt official, it is not uncommon for you to do superficial work in front of Lord Chincha. ”

"So what's going to be done?" Wei Sanniang had a worried face.

There are six people in their family!

The fox fence on the side and the fox Xiaomei glanced at each other. Fox Fence Xiang glanced at Fox Xiaomei. Motioned to her to say something to comfort and comfort Wei Sanniang, don't die of famine before you have a famine!

Fox Xiaomei pursed her lips, it is entirely possible for the court to behave, even if someone gives porridge, the porridge and porridge, if you can't eat enough and don't warm your clothes, it is completely possible to die of cold and starvation in winter.

She is also very worried about this problem, if this natural disaster really comes to that point, what should their family do? What should she do?

At this time. Thirteen, who had been eating silently, suddenly spoke. Said: "The boat to the bridgehead is naturally straight, from now on we will check everything, save as much as we can, and prepare for the winter." Even if the court doesn't give porridge. We don't have enough food. Fortunately. We still have a contract with the sewing shop. Although we don't have duck down, we can let the shopkeeper Wu buy it. When the time comes, we will only help to do it, even if the price is cheaper, it doesn't matter, or just let the other party exchange the food. ”

Hearing this, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang, including Fox Lixiang and Fox Xiaomei, all looked at Thirteen in unison.

A room full of people was so distracted by the flood that they forgot about such an important matter.

Fox Dayouwei Sanniang is all happy.

"Still thirteen is sober-minded, I think we are dizzy, and we have forgotten about the sewing workshop." Fox Dayou patted his head and said, showing a smile that he hadn't seen for a few days.

The expression on Wei Sanniang's face also eased a lot, and she looked at Thirteen very kindly: "Fortunately, there is a sane one at home." ”

Fox Fence Xiang also looked at Thirteen or two more unexpectedly, Thirteen doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he can always get to the point.

Including Hu Xiaomei, she couldn't stop nodding her head in appreciation, and praised in her mouth: "I look stupid on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to be comforting at a critical time." ”

These words attracted the glares of Fox Dayou and Fox Fence Fragrance: "How do you speak?" "You can't be polite.

Before Wei Sanniang could open her mouth to reprimand, Thirteen hurriedly said: "It's nothing." ”

Hu Xiaomei glanced at Wei Sanniang and the three of them, and said innocently: "I'm not wrong, he is a very comforting person." And, you see, he himself thinks I'm right. ”

You can't say it in front of people!

Wei Sanniang's eyes were glaring, and there were signs of hair.

Thirteen added, "I really don't know how to speak. ”

Hu Xiaomei was another expression that I said correctly, so angry that Wei Sanniang gritted her teeth, anyway, from the thirteenth to their house, Hu Xiaomei had this attitude, but Thirteen never cared, Wei Sanniang couldn't say her, so she had to go over and comfort Thirteen: "Don't listen to her nonsense, I and your uncle know best how much you have done in this family, and you and your uncle know best in our hearts. ”

Thirteen's face sneered, his eyes quickly swept over Hu Xiaomei's face, I knew that there would be such an expression, and modestly defended: "I eat here, live here, and do everything, I don't deserve such praise from my uncle and aunt." Then he looked upright: "Actually, I should thank my uncle and aunt, you can selflessly take in me, a person with amnesia, and I will repay this kindness in the future." ”

"What are you talking about?" Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou didn't take Thirteen's words seriously at all. relieved Thirteen not to think too much because of Hu Xiaomei's words, and after a few words, several people shifted the topic back to the flood.

And Hu Xiaomei was not unhappy because Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou helped her with the Thirteen Training, although she was not a real Fox Xiaomei, but this body was the real daughter of Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang, so no matter what the two said or did, it would definitely not harm her.

She looked at the rain in the yard, and there was no sign of stopping, and she was extremely worried, could she really suffer a flood and a famine this year?

With the rain falling day by day, crops being destroyed and vegetable patches washed away, there is nothing people can do but worry.

In the morning, I hastily fried a few pieces of bread to solve the breakfast, and the family sat in the hall and watched the rain outside, the rain in the yard had flooded to the edge of the steps, and the rain was sometimes big and small, and the fox had no intention of going out at all, so he did not open the courtyard door.

Fox Xiaomei was really idle, so she took the book of the fox fence out and asked him to read it aloud, saying that it was nothing to let the big guy learn some knowledge, and by the way, add some voice to the family, and besides, she could learn a few words along.

So, the sound of reading on the fox fence sounded in the hall, shaking his head, and the tone was frustrated, and the story read aloud made people hear a bit of artistic conception.

While everyone was listening intently to the fox fence reading, there was a knock on the door outside.

Fox Dayou opened the door with a cloak on. It was a fox who responded to the ground, he was dressed in a robe, with a white cloth tied on his head, his face was solemn and sad, the white cloth was a little dazzling in the gloomy sky, and Wei Sanniang, who was sitting in the hall and saw the situation outside, had a bad premonition in his heart.

I saw that the fox said a few words to the fox with a calm face, and then glanced at Wei Sanniang and the others before leaving. Fox Dayou didn't close the courtyard door, returned to the eaves with an expressionless face, took off his robe, and walked into the house with his feet up. As he walked, he said, "The old lady is gone." They all changed their clothes and went to mourn. ”

The news was really shocking, and everyone was shocked.

It was fine a while ago, so I just left.

The specific situation is not clear to Fox Dayou, and Fox Yingdi just came to report the news and didn't say anything. Several people changed into plain clothes. And each of them took his cloak and put it on. There are only thirteen left in the house. A group of five people went directly to Hu Yingtian's house.

Wearing straw sandals and stepping on the muddy village road, a foot of water and a foot of mud towards the fox Yingtian's home, when the time comes. I saw that a silk white cloth had been hung on the gate of Hu Yingtian's house, the courtyard gate was open, and all the brothers of Hu Yingtian were standing at the door of the hall, as well as several daughters-in-law of the Hu family, and the Hu family was obviously the last to come. As you can guess, it must be the last to inform their family.

Wei Sanniang and the others followed the fox into the room with a serious appearance, and the old fox lady was lying in the middle of the hall, covered with a white cloth covering his face. Stepping into the hall, Fox Dayou was in front, Wei Sanniang was behind, and then the three of Fox Fence Xiang. Fox Xiaomei did not squint, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, learning from Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang with a respectful appearance.

Fox Dayou took the lead and approached, knelt beside the old lady with a thud, and the sound not only shocked Hu Xiaomei, but also made Hu Yingtian and others look sideways.

Then Hu Xiaomei heard a sudden long howl next to her: "Old lady, your old man's body was fine a while ago, why did you go." We didn't even see you for the last time...... Woowoo woo ......"

Wei Sanniang pounded her head, covered her chest, her face was heavy, tears flowed down, a sad look, crying and shouting, more real than the crying and mourning of her own granddaughter-in-law, which directly made Chen, Tan and others who were standing aside watching the play feel uncomfortable.

Wei Sanniang cried, and Fox Dayou also knelt beside him and lowered his head and face, with a sad face. Fox Fence Xiang took the opportunity to naturally pull out a plain handkerchief, lowered her head and touched the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief.

I'm dripping my god!

Fox Xiaomei buried her head and stared at the ground in front of her, wailing in her heart, without notice in advance, suddenly made her cry, how could she cry?

She simply followed the appearance of the fox fence, knelt on the ground straight, lowered her head, hung her face, and wanted to reach out and take a handkerchief from her cuffs and pretend to wipe her tears, but she didn't find it for a long time, and her face was a little sneering. How can she show her sadness at the moment without a handkerchief? But it was too difficult for her to squeeze out two tears.

After thinking about it, Hu Xiaomei simply took the cuffs of her coat and wiped it on her face indiscriminately, until her face was painful and her eyes were red.

Fox Yingtian on the side saw that Fox Dayou and the others were crying and kneeling, and spoke out in time: "Dayou, don't be sad, the old lady's illness is urgent, and the big guy can't help it!" His voice choked up. He sniffed and said, "The old lady will know your intentions." Sanniang, don't be too sad. You weren't there when the old lady left, so if you want to see the old lady again, just look at it. ”

Fox Dayou nodded sadly and said, "The old lady treated us well when he was alive, and he didn't even see him for the last time, I'm really ashamed!" ”

This is said by Hu Yingtian, which means that he wants to uncover the white cloth and look at the face of the old lady of the fox. Who knew that the fox friend's hand had not yet stretched out, and the fox master came out of the house, with a straight face, and said coldly: "The person has gone, what is there to see at this time." The hour has come, it's time to get down to business, don't miss the auspicious time. The latter sentence was said to Hu Yingtian.

Fox Yingtian looked at the fox master with a straight face, and had no choice but to say: "Then big friend, you quickly incense the old lady, and you are about to start doing things." ”

Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang still looked sad, and there was no change in the slightest because of the words of the fox master, and Hu Xiaomei and a few people followed behind Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang, and gave incense to the fox old lady one by one and burned paper money.

After the incense, several people exited the hall and stood under the eaves. (To be continued......)
