When Zheng Xiang released the grain that night, according to Zhao Yu's instructions, he made some slices of meat in the rice porridge, which might be distributed to a piece that was only the size of a fingernail in everyone's bowl, but the mood of the refugees was greatly improved.

Among the refugees, those who had positions also received an additional amount of meat, one piece for the head of the household, two pieces for the head of the army, three pieces for the chief, and four pieces for the deputy of the tun.

You can even get a small bowl of cloudy drink.

However, most of the leaders with positions will choose to give these pieces of meat to the children in the tun after getting extra meat, after all, they don't want a few pieces of meat to cause their peers to blush and destroy the trust of their peers in the tun.

As for the drinks, they also shared them with their close friends.

Only Ding Lu and his two brothers had no intention of parting.

The so-called one person ascended to heaven, Ding Lu became the tun chief, and his two brothers with different surnames, Feng Bu and Zu Xing, also became the chief - although the number of people in their tun is seriously insufficient, but the establishment is still this establishment.

In other words, Ding Lu's two younger brothers also received a different amount of meat and wine.

In the envious eyes of many Laizi in Tunli, the three Ding Lu brothers finished the rice porridge in a few bites, and then each held two small bowls and found a place to sit down.

"Ding Tou, give us a taste, since I fled from Caiyang last year, I haven't tasted what meat tastes like."

"Brother Feng, give me a taste for my little brother."

"Brother Zu......"

In the face of the request of these Laizi, the attitude of the three brothers was very consistent: "Get out!" ”

Then, Feng Bu and Zu Xing ate the three pieces of meat in the bowl in two clicks under the envious gaze of all Laizi, and then crossed their legs to sip the wine in another small bowl, making a comfortable sound.

"It tastes so good."

"It's just a little less."

Feng Bu and Zu Xing sighed with emotion, causing all the laizi to curse with envy and jealousy.

And Ding Lu didn't bother to pay attention to the gang of Laizi, and after a few words of scolding drove the other party away, he scolded the two younger brothers with a smile and said, "You two are like swallowing dates, what can you taste?" You have to taste this good stuff slowly. ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine, scooped up a piece of meat from the bowl, and was about to put it in his mouth, when his movements were sudden.

Because he noticed that not far away several children with porridge bowls were looking at him intently, or rather, at the meat in his hands.

"What are you looking at?"

Ding Lu immediately scolded.

There are many orphans and widows in his tun, but thanks to the deputy of the tun in the past few days, Ding Lu can recognize most of them, such as the child closest to him, he recognized it as a woman in the tun - the eldest son of the Ma family, the nickname seems to be called what Tang.

Sure enough, not far away, Ma Shi heard Ding Lu's scolding, and saw that his son was also in the crowd, so he hurriedly stepped forward with a porridge bowl to apologize to Ding Lu: "Deputy Ding Tun, I'm sorry, don't be angry, the slut will take my son away." ”

The rest of the women also took their children away.

They all know that this Ding Lu has a bad temper, and in recent days, almost all of the laizi in the tun have been taught by Ding Lu with his fists and feet, and they have cleaned up and obeyed.

"Mother, I want to eat meat...... " Ma's eldest son whispered as he stared at Ding Lu's bowl.

Ma secretly glanced at Ding Lu in shock, and seeing that Ding Lu was not angry, he hurriedly pulled his son aside: "My son, don't look, my mother still has some porridge here......

"But I want to eat meat......"

"Shh Ma was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her eldest son's mouth, but when she saw her son's aggrieved look, she felt a little distressed, held her son in her arms, and said in a choked voice: "It's not good to be a mother......"

"Mother...... Don't cry, I don't want to eat meat. ”

That was said, but the kid who was tightly held in Ma's arms couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ding Lu and secretly swallowed his saliva.

In fact, not only the eldest son of the Ma family, but also the children who were called by the rest of the women were secretly watching Ding Lu from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Ding Lu was irritable, and after gritting his teeth, he pointed to the child in Ma's arms and shouted, "That little cub, come here." ”

When Ma Shi heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Deputy ...... Dingtun"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ding Lu: "Ma, shut up!" ”

Saying, he pointed to Ma's eldest son and said, "If you want to eat meat, come here." ”

Ma's mother and son glanced at each other, both a little surprised in their hearts, and a moment later, after Ma's hesitation, the child timidly walked up to Ding Lu.

And Ding Lu didn't break his promise, grabbed a piece of meat from the bowl and stuffed it into the child's mouth, and immediately scolded: "Okay, get out!" ”

He waved his hand impatiently, and turned his gaze in the other direction.

There are one and two, seeing that Ma's eldest son got a piece of meat from Ding Lu to eat, other children of about the same age in the tun will naturally be greedy, no, immediately a few bold people gathered in front of Ding Lu, little girls and boys, they didn't speak, just looked at Ding Lu with their eyes, and looked at the meat in Ding Lu's bowl.

Ding Lu was not surprised by the scene in front of him, picked three pleasing little girls, one of them stuffed a piece of meat in his mouth, and then held the empty bowl and hurried impatiently: "It's gone, it's gone, get out!" …… I'll talk about it later if I don't get it. ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of the bowl of wine, and when he saw that there were still a few children surrounding him, he held the bowl and scolded angrily: "What? Do you want to share my wine? Be careful that I slap you to death. ”

Seeing this, those children immediately ran away in fright, but at this time, Ma and several other women came to Ding Lu and said with gratitude in their eyes: "Thank you, Ding Tou." ”

Ding Lu waved his hand impatiently to drive them away: "Okay, don't hinder Lao Tzu from drinking." ”

His two brothers, naturally, could see it clearly, and Feng Bu, who had a more cheerful personality, joked to Ding Lu at this time: "Big brother, can't you see that you still have a good heart?" ”

"What?" Ding Lu immediately scolded.

At this time, in the distance, Zhao Yu, who was secretly paying attention to Ding Lu's tun, especially Zhao Yu, who was paying attention to Ma's family, also saw this scene, turned his head to Zhang Ji and said, "I said that this person is not bad enough to go home, right?" ”

The facts were in front of him, and Zhang Ji could only nod.

In fact, those who received the meat, Zhao Yu and others all paid attention, most of them chose to divide the children in the tun equally in order to maintain the relationship between the tun and their peers, so that no one would have any dissatisfaction, but only the three Ding Lu brothers were mavericks, and the three of them didn't care about maintaining any good relations with the people in the same tun, but in the end, Ding Lu's selfishness still couldn't withstand the gaze of those children.

In this regard, even Zhang Ji, who was originally hostile to Ding Lu, must admit that this guy does still have a good heart.

"I'm going to tease him."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu walked over to Ding Lu, and seeing this, Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Jingnu, and Cao An immediately followed.

"Dinglu."

"Huh?"

Hearing a slightly immature voice from his side, Ding Lu didn't need to guess to know that it was the second son of the Xianghou Mansion.

When I turned my head, it was so.

But even if he saw that it was Zhao Yu, Ding Lu didn't get up, held the wine bowl and crossed one leg, and greeted Zhao Yu: "Yo, second son." ”

Such a rude move, not to mention Zhao Yu's loyal dogleg Cao An, even Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but scold.

But Zhao Yu didn't think so, he waved his hand to stop Zhang Ji and others from scolding Ding Lu, walked to Ding Lu and deliberately asked, "How does the meat taste?" ”

A few traces of doubt flashed in Ding Lu's eyes, and he immediately grinned: "That's really good, it's just less." ”

"This guy is really hard-mouthed......

Zhao Yu smiled secretly in his heart, but Ding Lu didn't debunk it himself, and he didn't want to expose it.

"It's going to get better."

Glancing around, Zhao Yu not only said this to Ding Lu, but also to the rest of the refugees present: "As long as you keep working hard for the past few days, life will definitely get better." In the next few days, let's stop digging ditches for the time being, first build you some sturdy houses that can protect you from the wind and rain, prepare enough firewood, and everyone will unite to spend this year's winter together, and when spring begins tomorrow, if your performance can impress Liu Gong, I will try to persuade Liu Gong to ask him to allow you to cultivate the nearby wasteland and plant some crops......"

Probably hearing Zhao Yu's speech, the nearby refugees gradually gathered around, quietly listening to the words of the second son, and listening to his promise to everyone's future.

As they listened, they couldn't help but look forward to the future, and some even couldn't help but sob.

It was the joy of finally seeing hope in a long period of despair.

"Alright, let's go and rest early after eating."

Clapping his hands, Zhao Yu urged the refugees gathered around him.

The refugees dispersed obediently, and each returned to the straw hut on the east side of the ditch pit to rest.

Seeing the obedient appearance of these people, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng glanced at each other, and they were really a little surprised in their hearts.

Because they have personally managed this group of refugees, they both know very well that this group of refugees is difficult to handle, because the other party is full of fear, vigilance and precautions for them, but at present, these refugees are respectful to their second son, and even believe in what their second son said, and they are convinced of their promises to the future, although these refugees have no other way out except to believe, but it is undeniable that the means of the second son around him are not simple.

"Find a time to talk to the second son about martial arts."

Ma Cheng whispered to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji nodded slightly.

In fact, there are some things that even Zhao Yu himself has not yet known, but Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng do, such as the arrangements made by the Marquis of Luyang for the former in the future, hoping that Zhao Yu will learn martial arts and join the army when he grows up.

When Zhao Yu goes to join the army, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng will go together as Zhao Yu's assistance.

However, due to the fact that Zhao Yu was too naughty in the past, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng were very disappointed, especially after being punished some time ago, their hearts were almost cold - what can they do with a second son who only knows how to play in the army?

But now, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng have gradually changed their minds.

After the second son fell from the tree, he was like two people, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng didn't understand what was going on, but they saw it with their own eyes, and now the second son is very wise.

This rekindled hope in their hearts.

"Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng."

"In!"

"Prepare Ma Cheng, let's go back to the house tonight, I have something to tell my father."

"Yes!"

That night, after saying hello to Township Chief Zheng, Zhao Yu took Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Jingnu, and Cao An back to the Xianghou Mansion.
