Chapter 9: Amazing
Wu Wei finished freshening up, lay on the bed, and thought about the next day. First go to Ansai County with Zhao Zongjia to apply for a household registration, register Xiucai's identity, and then buy land and establish a foothold in the local area, you can't find a dog's house every time you come.
Also, no matter what you want to do in that era, you still have to have people who have believed in it, otherwise you have to do everything yourself without being tired to death? Although Zhao Gou'er is young, he is very clever and admires himself, so he will accept him as his first confidant. The dog's father is honest and honest, and some small things can also be handed over to him.
Also, what to do with the large amount of materials purchased by yourself. At that time, I only thought about the miserable situation of the victims, and I bought so much food on impulse, and how to distribute it to those who needed it. rashly drove a heavy card and appeared on the street, either being regarded as a monster or as a god, which was not what Wu Wei wanted. That is to say, it is necessary to find a plausible reason for the sudden appearance of food.
After sorting out the problems to be solved the next day in his mind, Wu Wei went to bed early. The next day, he went downstairs to find Mr. Zhao after eating early, but he didn't expect Mr. Zhao and the dog's father to have been waiting for him for more than an hour, it turned out that they were used to roosters crowing. Also, in these years, most people are night blind because of lack of vitamins, except for those with good families who can afford to light oil lamps and candles when it gets dark, the general poor people rest early, go to bed early and get up early, which is of course very different from modern people with rich nightlife.
When asked, the two of them really didn't eat breakfast as they guessed, but fortunately, Wu Wei brought them breakfast and took out two large bags of meat buns from their backpacks. Looking at the steaming buns, both of them were stunned. Wu Wei broke one open, revealing the oily meat filling inside, and suddenly the room was filled with the aroma of pork, he handed the bun to Zhao Zongjia, and took out another one and handed it to the dog's father, but the two of them held it but did not move. Wu Wei saw Zhao Zongjia's three children looking at this side with blank eyes, and the words in their mouths were about to flow out, so he hurriedly handed each of them a meat bun, and the child didn't have so many worries, and immediately chewed it. While eating, he praised: "It's so fragrant, it's so meaty!" "It's bigger than the meatballs I ate the year before last."
Seeing this, the dog's father hesitated and said, "I'm not hungry, can I keep this bun for the dog and the rest of the family to eat." It turned out that he was reluctant to eat, thinking about the old and young in the family. Zhao Zongjia didn't speak, looking at Wu Wei, it seemed that he was thinking the same way. Wu Wei said with a smile: "It's just a few buns, what's worth it, it's all for the two uncles." After speaking, he handed two bags of buns to the two.
Both of them were overjoyed, and the dog's father wanted to go out and take the buns home first. I heard Wu Wei say: "Slow." The dog's father was startled, stopped and turned around, and heard Wu Wei laughing: "The two uncles have hard work today, and it is estimated that they have to be busy for a day, how can they have the strength to do things without breakfast?" Don't worry, these buns are nothing, if you like to eat them, I'll bring more later. After saying that, the two of them were forced to eat two buns each. The dog's father ate two meat buns and went away in tears. Wu Wei and Zhao Zongjia waited for him together.
Not long after, the dog's father came over, and the three of them set off for Ansai County. Seeing a few more starving bodies along the road, it was obvious that the disaster was getting worse, and Wu Wei was secretly frightened.
After walking a few miles, I saw the city wall of the county town from a distance, and some crude sheds were built next to the city wall, and each shed was surrounded by many victims. When I got closer, I learned that the government in the county town proposed that large households provide grain for disaster relief, and they were giving porridge at this time. Wu Wei leaned over to take a look, the porridge was very thin, and there were not many rice grains tumbling in the rice soup inside, the color band was slightly yellow, and there were some chaff and vegetable leaves. The victims were not picky about this, and there were many voices of praise. The dog's father looked at the porridge pot intently, obviously very tempted, and it was estimated that if it weren't for Wu Wei's important affairs, I am afraid that he would have to join the queue.
Wu Wei remembered something and asked Zhao Zongjia: "Since there is a place for soup kitchen, why did you see someone starving to death just now?" Zhao Zongjia didn't look at the porridge bucket like the dog's father, and sighed: "If there is such a good thing every day, the people of the entire Yan'an Mansion will come to Ansai." This good thing of soup soup is rare to see, I'm afraid it's still an adult from above, and the government has to do something to love the people. ”
The three of them were about to move forward, when they suddenly saw a commotion in the porridge shed in front of them, and the crowd pushed each other, and it turned out that the porridge bucket was about to be empty. The people at the back of the queue were afraid that they would not have their turn, so they all squeezed forward desperately, and the order was in chaos. Wu Wei heard an anxious voice sound: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone has it." As far as the eye could see, I saw a girl with a long figure and a goose yellow shirt trying to persuade the victims in front of the crowd, and several very capable men around him were also maintaining order and preventing the crowd from approaching the young girl. Wu Wei's eyes lit up, and I saw that she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, light eyebrows and a straight nose, skin better than snow, light and soft, and a body of about one meter six or seven or eight, she was a rare beauty!
At this time, the man who only listened to the spoon scooping the porridge said angrily: "You little ghost, you have already received the porridge, why did you come again?" The crowd behind was even more commotion, and I saw a child being pushed out of the queue, the child was about seven or eight years old, thin and small, and was grabbed by the people behind, and suddenly fell, the bowl was broken, and he cried, and the crowd was even more chaotic. The girl in the yellow shirt walked briskly towards the child, and the family next to her separated everyone. I saw her help the child up, comforted him gently, and asked someone to serve him a bowl of porridge. Seeing her like this, the man in charge of the spoon said: "This little ghost is so cunning, he has already received two bowls, and he has to receive them again, Miss is kind-hearted, don't be deceived by him." The child sobbed and said, "My mother is in the shed over there, and she is too sick to get up, so I brought it to my mother." The girl in the yellow shirt nodded, stood gracefully in the crowded crowd, looked around at the victims, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and said to the family next to her: "Is there still rice?" A middle-aged man with a rough appearance next to him had a solemn face, and said: "Miss, the food in the city is already in an emergency, and it is necessary to supply the army with grain and grass. In fact, there is not much food in the city, but it is not necessarily true to say that there is no food to give, and there are still some reserves, but one is to supply military food, and the other is that there are many people in the disaster, and once the surrounding disaster victims rush to hear the news, this food is even more of a drop in the bucket. The girl in the yellow shirt frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the city to find my father, how can so many victims not care?" There must be a way. After that, under the escort of everyone, he boarded a small car on the side of the road and went straight away.
Wu Wei heard it clearly, and his heart moved, it seemed that the government was not inactive, but it was really powerless. Also, the woman in the yellow shirt is really amazing, even in modern times, she is also at the school flower level, and she is so gentle and kind, Wu Wei feels that his heart is a little unsettled.
I saw that the porridge was quickly finished, and the official loudly told him to come back tomorrow. Even if everyone has not been unwilling, they have no choice, they disperse, huddled in their own shacks, hoping that tomorrow they can receive a bowl of soup porridge, but whether they can pinch it until tomorrow and do not starve to death is undecided!
