After more than half a month, the Qiao sisters, who had been banned from going out because the People's Army occupied Guangzhou City, were finally grounded by their father Qiao Rong under the "begging" of their sister Qiao Muyu, and they could go out for a walk, but they must bring guards when they go out.

Thinking that she hadn't delivered food to the poor people in the city for many days, before going out, her sister Qiao Muxue asked the maid Cui'er and Lan'er to bring a basket of food.

Qiao Muxue Qiao Muyu sisters, maid Cui'er Lan'er, plus seven guards, a group of eleven people walked out of Qiao's mansion.

Qiao Muxue is kind-hearted and often sends food to beggars, there have been many beggars who have come to Qiao's mansion to beg for food, but no big family wants to see beggars gather in front of their mansion, once beggars gather, they will only persuade the guests to leave, so Qiao Rong directly asked the guards to drive the beggars away, just to drive them away, but it did not hurt the beggars.

The group walked to the place where beggars often appeared, but found that there were no beggars there, and went to the next place, still not a single beggar was seen.

"Where are the beggars in this huge city of Guangzhou?" Walking on the street, a girl in pink muttered, that look so cute.

The girl in pink said that her sister Qiao Muyu is sixteen years old this year and has reached the age of marriage.

The girl in blue next to Qiao Muyu who didn't look much older was her sister Qiao Muxue, who was seventeen years old.

Hearing her sister's words, Qiao Muxue chuckled and replied, "Isn't it good to have no beggars?" ”

"Of course it's not good, I suspect that these beggars were captured and killed by them (the People's Army)." Qiao Muyu replied with a frown.

"Impossible, aren't they very good to the common people?" Qiao Muxue looked at her in disbelief.

"Who knows what kind of things they (the People's Army) will do, anyway, we can't see it."

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, I may know about this, it seems that the People's Army gave those beggars houses to live in, divided the fields, and gave them enough rations to eat, and there are some beggars who have broken hands and feet and cannot live on their own, and the People's Army also arranges people to take care of them, and it seems that the beggars in the city are gone." The little maid Cui'er said hesitantly.

Cui'er wasn't sure that there wasn't a single beggar in the city, after all, this had never happened before, so when the two young ladies were about to go out to deliver food to the beggar, Cui'er didn't say anything about it.

Hearing Cui'er's words, Qiao Muyu turned around and asked, "Is that so?" Cui'er, all those beggars live in the city of Guangzhou? ”

"Well, they all live in the city of Guangzhou, and one of them is very close to us." Cui'er replied obediently.

"Sister, why don't we go over and have a look?"

"Yes." Qiao Muxue nodded, they went out with an escort, so they didn't have to worry about accidents.

Under the guidance of Cui'er, the group came to the mansion of a large family, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the wall on the right side of the mansion gate, which read "The Third Almshouse of Guangzhou City" in simplified Chinese characters.

Qiao Muxue and Qiao Muyu sisters both know words, but they know traditional characters, and these simplified characters can recognize a "three", and the other words are not.

But the illiterate little girl Cui'er read these words perfectly.

"The Third Almshouse in Guangzhou City."

"Almshouse? This is the third, so there must be the first and second, and there should also be the fourth and fifth. Qiao Muxue thought in her heart.

The door of the almshouse was open, and occasionally people came in and out, dressed in gorgeous but somewhat dirty clothes, and the clothes did not fit, and the man's face was also sloppy, giving the impression that he was a beggar in good clothes.

Just as it gives people the feeling, the people who come in and out are all beggars in the original city of Guangzhou, and the beggars are sloppy in the first place, even if they have just gotten rid of the identity of beggars, some habits cannot be changed immediately.

Those gorgeous clothes are the clothes of the big families that have been confiscated, and the clothes worn by others are generally given to the common people for free, and some of them are given to these beggars who are already wearing tattered clothes.

Walking to the door of the almshouse, the two sisters hesitated a little before they made up their minds to enter the almshouse, and after a short walk in the almshouse, they met many beggars who had given food before.

Someone recognized the Qiao sisters who often gave them food, and immediately came over and thanked the Qiao sisters for their previous kindness.

"How did you get here?" Qiao Muyu asked.

"This is all thanks to the People's Army thanks to the Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor is really a good man, the Metropolitan Governor saw us people living on the streets very unbearable, so he gave us the land, and gave us a year's worth of food (in batches), with this field, we will never go hungry again.

Among those of us who live on the streets, there are also people who have broken hands and feet, fools, who cannot see with their eyes, who cannot live on their own, and who are placed in this almshouse by the KPA, and the KPA has made us able-bodied people take care of them, and pay us wages, and I live in the almshouse with us. ”

Hearing these words, the Qiao sisters couldn't believe that the People's Army, which was called "thieves" at home, could do this, before the government was there, beggars in Guangzhou were endless, and beggars often died, and new beggars appeared.

The Qiao sisters, who often send food to beggars, know the situation best, but there is no way to solve the situation, which is beyond their ability, all they can do is to send food to beggars often and do their best to let the beggars live.

Unexpectedly, the People's Army appeared to solve the problem of beggars in Guangzhou, and the People's Army did not drive all the beggars out of the city or kill them all, but divided the fields among the beggars and let them support themselves in the future.

As for whether there are lazy and slippery people among the beggars, probably no, after all, it is not a relatively wealthy modern time, and in modern times, you can make a fortune by begging, but in ancient times, if there is no real way, no one wants to live on the streets, starving to death is a common thing, and there is not so much coolie work for beggars to do, and even large families do not accept beggars as slaves.

Walking around the almshouse, the Qiao sisters heard the most words like "Thank you to the People's Army and thank the Governor".

Seeing is believing, the Qiao sisters, who originally regarded the People's Army as a "thief" like their father and grandfather at home, unconsciously changed their views on the People's Army a little, and the People's Army was very different from the "anti-thief" they imagined.

Walking out of the almshouse, Qiao Muxue felt that there was no need to send food to those poor people in the future, which should be a good thing.
