"Dog, you little rabbit, what are you doing? Slowly, do you not want to eat lunch today, tell you, there is meat to eat for lunch today, you are not working hard, when the time comes, we will eat meat, you just stand by and watch. ”

..................

The sky has just dawned, and the thick layer of frost on the ground has not yet thawed, but the textile factories outside Hangzhou have already been full of people and lively.

Wearing a half-worn thick jacket, although there are already a few patches on the padded jacket, for Liu Fei, he is already very satisfied.

Liu Fei is in his early thirties this year, compared with the life that has just begun at the age of thirty in later generations, people who are thirty years old at this time can already call themselves old husbands and old women.

The same is true for Liu Fei, who has been working in the fields with his father since he was seven or eight years old, and has worked hard for more than 20 years, making him look like an old man in his forties and fifties, with dark skin, a wrinkled face, rough hands, and a somewhat hunched body because of his perennial work, all of which show that he is an authentic old peasant.

For all this, Liu Fei is not dissatisfied, nor is he like some people, full of yearning for big fish and meat, wearing gold and silver, he has been working hard honestly, hoping that the family can live a peaceful and stable life.

It's a pity that all this in the face of that torrential flood, completely failed, the ancestors of the difficult to pass down more than ten acres of fertile land overnight into an ocean, the grain that is about to be harvested, but also into fish and shrimp rations, when watching all this happen, Liu Fei is discouraged.

The flood not only submerged his family's land, but also submerged everything in his family, and when the flood receded, the family of six, except for the big eyes and small eyes, was left with only hungry bellies.

In the face of all this, Liu Fei, who has always been honest and dutiful, was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, he went out early and returned late to pick wild vegetables, trying to catch wild beasts, but not only his family, but the entire river, south, river, and north hundreds of thousands of victims, in this case, no matter how many wild vegetables are eaten up one day, no matter how many wild beasts are extinct, when he walked through several mountains, he could no longer find any wild vegetables and wild beasts, and even some edible wild grasses could not be seen, he was finally completely disappointed.

At this time, the imperial court finally appeared, an order for them to go south to eat, so that they from the place where they had lived for several generations, full of helplessness to the south, along the way, even if there was the care of the imperial court, but his elderly father could not stand it anymore, and died halfway, fortunately, his two young sons and his wife, mother, after a difficult struggle, came to this Hangzhou city alive.

When they first came to Hangzhou City, they thought that this place was the same as the government elsewhere, and after pretending to be a few bowls of gruel, they would leave them behind and no longer care about their life and death, and even Liu Fei was ready to sell himself to a large family as a slave, although being a slave is a road of no return full of blood and tears, but compared with death, there is always a hope.

What Liu Fei didn't expect was that Hangzhou City did not give up on them, nor did he despise them, and treated them meticulously, but it was also unbelievably good, and even now, including Liu Fei, they still thought that they were in a dream.

The food is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, or even a simple porridge and rice with some vegetables sandwiched in it, sometimes some bone broth or meat pieces are added, and they are not wearing silk and satin, because their clothes were washed away when the water was blowing, so the thick jackets or leather jackets they are wearing now are issued to them by the Qiantang County Government.

But even so, this kind of treatment also moved the 20,000 victims of the disaster, if nothing else, many people here are poor people, most of them do not have their own land or own a small part of the land, simply not enough to support themselves and their families, most of the time they need to rent the land of those big landlords to make it heavier, and this kind of rented land, the price is very high.

In addition to the annual taxes paid to the state and the landlord's rent, they can leave up to 20% of the grain, and some of this should be left as seeds, so most of these victims usually eat some gruel, except for the New Year's holidays, not to mention meat, even the oil will not be a single drop.

After arriving here, they were able to eat a full meal, what were they not satisfied with, it can be said that the current Qiantang County and the county magistrate Duan Jian are the biggest benefactors in the eyes of this kind of disaster victims, and even Duan Jian gave an order, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of them, I am afraid that these disaster victims will rush forward without hesitation.

Therefore, after Duan Jian was ready to recruit them to work in the textile factory, these victims not only did not have the slightest displeasure, but even broke their heads and wanted to come in early, if not for anything else, just to be able to eat dry food in the textile factory and earn wages.

Liu Fei is one of the lucky ones, because he learned a few handyman's chores with the carpenter in the village, Liu Fei was recruited into the textile factory in the first batch, and because he was the oldest, the teacher was steady, and became a foreman.

After quickly checking the area he was responsible for, Liu Fei's heart was still quite satisfied, thinking that in two days, the project he was responsible for would be delivered ahead of schedule, so as to get the reward promised by Duan Mingfu, Liu Fei's heart was hot, and his temperament, which had long been smoothed out by the pressure of reality, also beat a little, as if he had returned to the high-spirited teenage years.

While calculating how much reward he could get for advancing the project time this time, he walked forward with his head down, not noticing that a rotten log on the ground was in the middle, and when he stepped on the rotten wood and leaned forward, he was about to fall, when he saw a figure flashing not far away, reaching out his arm with lightning speed, and grabbing his collar steadily.

"Hey, get up"

With a low roar, Liu Fei's body that was about to fall was forcibly lifted up by this person, allowing him to escape a catastrophe.
