Qi Yi heard Yue Jiancomb say that he had prepared some clothes and food for Xingning Village, and he said with some guilt: "Miss Yue, how can this be done!" Over the years, the Yue family has been very helpful to my Yining Village, but unfortunately our village is too poor, and the life has not been able to get better and better, which really disappoints Mrs. Yue's expectations. By the way, how is Mrs. Yue's health? ”

"My mother has passed away." Yue Jiancomb said with some sadness.

When Qi Yi heard her words, he was first surprised, and then a little sad. But he knew that this was Yue Jiancomb's sad thing, and it was not appropriate to say more, so he changed the topic and asked, "I don't know who these people are?" ”

"Oh, Brother Yi, I forgot to introduce you before!" Yue Jiancomb replied, then took Ye Feng's hand and said, "This one is Ye Feng, and he is also my fiancé. ”

"It turned out to be Ye Gongzi! Rude faux pas! When he heard that, he immediately said hello.

"This one is the Purple Spirit County Lord! This time, I also came to send some things to Xingning Village to help the villagers survive the winter. The girl next to her was her maid Xu Xu. She pointed to Zhao Ziling and Xu Xu introduced.

Hearing that it was a county lord and a member of the royal family, he quickly got up and knelt down, and said with a very pious and respectful expression: "Xiaomin didn't know that the county lord's mother had arrived, and she couldn't give you a salute in time, and I hope you will forgive Xiaomin's sins!" ”

The biggest official he had ever seen in his life was the head catcher of the county government, or the head catcher who chased the fugitive and came to Xingning Village, and the posture was very majestic, so that the villagers did not dare to speak loudly. He had never seen a person at the level of the county lord, and at this time he was nervous and didn't know what to say, and his kneeling body trembled slightly, and he was very worried in his heart.

"Get up quickly, and those who don't know will not sin! Besides, I'll blame you too! Zhao Ziling hurriedly asked him to get up and said kindly.

He got up tremblingly, but he didn't dare to sit down again, but stood aside, his body trembling, and he didn't dare to say another word.

"You don't have to be nervous, the county lord has always been kind, and she won't blame you." Ye Feng looked at his restrained appearance and comforted.

"yes, sit down!" Zhao Ziling also echoed and said.

"The villain doesn't dare!"

"What dare not, this is not Kaifeng City. I wouldn't mind either. Zhao Ziling said.

He sat down on the stool at this time, but when he sat with the county lord, he felt very awkward, a little like sitting on pins and needles.

"Brother Yi, is there anyone named Liu Dayong in your village?" Zhao Ziling asked.

"The county lord's mother can call me by name, how dare this big brother be? There is a man named Liu Dayong in our village, I don't know how the county lord found out? ”

"He has a daughter named Liu Cuicui, who used to serve me, but a few days ago, she fell ill and died. Before she died, she still remembered her parents in Xingning Village. So I took her place to visit her parents. ”

"I see, alas...... Cuicui's family is also very pitiful! Qi Yi sighed and said.

The rain outside the house was getting lighter and lighter, they chatted about some situations in Xingning Village, Ye Feng listened to a rough idea, this place is indeed very poor, although there is farming, but the harvest of the Zhuang family is not good.

The grain produced by their crops is only half of the harvest in the fields, and after paying taxes for so many years, there is no surplus grain at all, and when the year comes, there will be no rice to cook.

Then the woman came in with an old clay pot and placed it on the table beside her.

Then, some vegetables and rice were brought one after another, and they were neatly placed on the table.

"You're hungry! Come and have something to eat and fill your stomach! After eating, I went to the villagers. ”

They rushed over from Kaifeng City, and it took them half a day, and at this time they were indeed a little hungry in their stomachs, so they didn't say anything more and sat down at the dinner table.

The dishes on the table were basically vegetarian dishes, except for a chicken in the clay pot. The others are some greens, tofu and the like, and they don't look very fresh.

Ye Feng sandwiched a green vegetable, put it in his mouth and frowned, this taste was really not flattering, and Qi Yi noticed his expression, and hurriedly said apologetically: "How is it?" Ye Gongzi, don't you think it's delicious? I'm really sorry, but these are the only ...... in the countryside."

"No! It's delicious! Ye Feng chewed and swallowed the greens, he couldn't bear to hurt him, so he said. And Yue Jiancomb, Zhao Ziling, and Xu Xu also echoed in unison.

Subsequently, Ye Feng tried this chicken again, and the taste of the chicken was still retained, but it was not salty.

The two children watched Ye Feng and them eat, swallowed their saliva, and stared intently at the dishes on the table.

"Do you want to eat it?" Ye Feng broke off the two chicken legs and handed them over from afar.

The two children, however, did not reach out to take them, but timidly hid behind the woman, their eyes fixed on the chicken leg in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, take it!" Ye Feng walked over and handed it to them.

They looked at the chicken leg in Ye Feng's hand, and then at Qi Yi on the side, with a hint of longing in their eyes.

"Ye Gongzi, you don't have to worry about them, just eat them yourself! I'm sorry, but there's nothing to entertain you. Qi Yi said apologetically.

"It's okay, kid! Come, take it! Ye Feng stuffed the chicken leg in his hand, but they shrank their hands behind their backs.

Ye Feng frowned, it seems that the Qi family's tutor is still very strict, otherwise this child is naturally greedy, but although he wants to eat the things in front of him, he doesn't dare to continue without his father's permission.

"Qi Yi, just let them take it and eat it!" Zhao Ziling saw this scene and said.

The county lord's words, Qi Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he said to the two children with a sad face: "Big Niu, Er Niu, Uncle Ye has a good intention, you just take it!" ”

Hearing their father's words, the two children took the chicken leg with both hands, Ye Feng put one on their hand alone, looked at them with a happy smile on their faces, carefully held the chicken leg to their mouths, first added it, and then took a small bite.

Ye Feng had a relieved smile on his face, then sat back and ate some meals casually.

After eating, the rain outside the house had stopped falling, so Qi Yi said to call the villagers over to carry things.

That chicken, they tacitly didn't eat anything, and planned to leave it all to Qi Yi's family.

Before leaving, Yue Jiancomb stopped the woman, took out some silver, put it in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you take these silver, go back and buy two clothes for the child." It's almost the New Year, and the children want to wear beautiful clothes, and they have a look forward to the coming year, right? ”

"Yue ...... Yue, Miss Yue...... This...... I don't want to, I can't accept it! She stammered a little as she spoke, and pushed back.

Yue Jiancomb said: "I know, you and Brother Qi Yi are naturally able to endure hardships, but the harvest in the field is not good, and the children can't eat enough, how can they live this life?" Take it, think more about it for the children, it can be regarded as the New Year's money I give the children! ”

The woman knelt on the ground excitedly, tears flowed from her eyes, and said gratefully, "Thank you Miss Yue for your great kindness!" I've kowtowed to you for my two children! ”

"No, you don't! No! Yue Jiancomb hurriedly stopped her from kowtowing, and then helped her up.

Leaving the Qi family, at this time, the villagers had already gathered at the entrance of the village, so Yue Jiancomb and Zhao Ziling asked them to take down all the clothes and some food and meat and other things, everyone shared a little, their faces showed a long-lost smile, and everyone solemnly knelt down to them to thank them.

"Why didn't you see Liu Dayong?" When Ye Feng sent something, he found that he didn't see Liu Dayong, only his thirteen-year-old son Liu Jun.

"Junzi, where is your father? Why didn't you come? Qi Yi asked loudly.

The boy came up to him and said, "My father is in the field." ”

"Why do you run to Tiankan all day long, can this dealer grow again?" Qi Yi said very unhappily in his heart, and then said to Ye Feng apologetically: "This year, Liu Dayong's family's crop harvest is the worst, so he runs to Tiankan from time to time, maybe he is crazy. ”

"Let's go! Let's check it out! Ye Feng said.

When I came to the edge of the field, I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing shabby clothes, looking at the field with blank eyes.

"Daddy!" Liu Jun walked over and shouted, but the man did not respond.

Ye Feng saw that the soil in this field was slightly dark red, and he was a little curious, and then walked over and broke the soil, but the red inside was even more vivid.

He grabbed a piece of red clay in his hand, it felt sticky, and at this moment he thought, this is red clay!

No wonder the harvest is so bad, and it is no wonder that the crops can be planted on the red clay!
