Base under a wooden shed.

Bowls of cabbage and tofu soup were brought out and entered the old man's stomach in a moment.

Sister-in-law Wang came out of the kitchen with the nest head and handed it to Song Xiaohe.

"These are the last few, this person has eaten all the food of our old and young masters at night."

Song Xiaohe laughed, "Sister-in-law Wang is the most brisk, let's do more in a while and give you a salary increase." ”

"You said that!"

Sister-in-law Wang smiled, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, a wage increase is the best incentive.

"Eat."

Song Xiaohe stood at the table, not much taller than the table, and carefully pushed the soup in front of the old man.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly brought it over and drank it.

Song Xiaohe hugged Song Xiaomei and sat on the bench a few steps away from the old man.

"There's still a nest head here, eat slowly."

"Don't eat it, don't eat it!"

The old man wiped his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the plate and said, "Can I take it, I still have a grandson who hasn't eaten, waiting for me to go back." ”

Song Xiaohe didn't nod, nor did he shake his head, but said.

"Listen to your accent is not from our place, where are you from?"

The old man sighed, "I'm from Youzhou." ”

Youzhou?

Song Xiaohe was slightly stunned, isn't this Lu Zhuang's home?

"What's going on over there in Youzhou? I didn't hear any natural disasters over there in Youzhou. ”

Song Xiaohe said suspiciously, I really haven't heard of floods or droughts in Youzhou recently, isn't it all smooth weather.

The old man sighed and said with a wry smile, "Little girl, there is another word in this world, called man-made disaster." ”

"Our Taishou over there doesn't know what's going on, they have to take back our fields, saying that they want to redistribute them, we are just a group of small people who farm the land, we just handed in the last year's servitude, and now we are dividing the fields, and one acre of land is a penny.

But where do we have so much money, even if we turn our family upside down and scrape together enough money, but it's just an acre of land, and an acre of land is planted with crops, and when we pay the conscription, how will the rest of the family divide it?

I can't eat enough, of course, there must be rich people, as soon as people make a move, they buy all the fields back, and then they buy them to us little people, and one acre of land directly rises to one dollar and fifty yuan, isn't this our old life!

How many people can't afford it, it's not that there is no way, so half of the people in the village have to come out to ask for food, alas. “

The old man wiped a handful of tears, "Originally, the old man only relied on those two acres of land to support me and my grandson, and pay my grandson's tuition, but now there is nothing, I am a lot old, I said that I was going to work, and no one wanted me." ”

As he spoke, he hid his face with his hands and began to cry.

Sister-in-law Wang stood at the door of the kitchen, sighed deeply, and showed sympathy.

"Xiao He, this is really a sin, I remember that Lord Xiao Lu seems to be from Youzhou, right?"

Song Xiaohe nodded, and said to the old man, "Do you know that Youzhou Taishou has a son named Lu Zhuang?" ”

"Lu Zhuang?"

The old man's face was confused, "Are you talking about Young Master Lu?" ”

Lu Zhuang is the eldest in the family, and there are two younger brothers at the bottom, who should be called the eldest young master.

Song Xiaohe nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”

The old man laughed, "Young Master Lu is a good person, if it weren't for his desperate efforts to suppress the bastard of Lord Taishou, I'm afraid that all the people in Youzhou would have to come out to beg for food." ”

Song Xiaohe was slightly surprised, and then listened to the old man.

"Young Master Lu and Lord Taishou are at odds all year round, they are well-known in our Youzhou, and then he was kicked out, and he didn't go back for several years, I heard those who live in the city say, it seems that Lord Taishou is suffering from some serious illness, so this is called the Lord Lu to come back, it takes a lot of money to treat the disease, this time I came up with a way to take back the land that was bought and sold, alas, in the end, it was all us little people who pitted it."

Song Xiaohe was silent, if what this old man said was true, then Lu Zhuang's life was really difficult.

"Little girl, it's not too early, the old man's grandson is still waiting for me to take the food back, can I take these nests away."

The old man stood up, looked at Song Xiaohe embarrassedly and said.

Song Xiaohe didn't wait to speak, Song Xiaomei quickly picked up the nest head and handed it to the old man.

"Take it all!"

The old man looked excited, "Hey, you are all kind-hearted people." ”

Song Xiaohe smiled slightly and sent the old man out.

When she walked to the door, the voice of Number 9 suddenly sounded in her head.

"Master, the character value has increased by five points."

Character value increased by five points?

But at this time, Song Xiaohe was not happy.

"Uncle," she looked at the old man, "if you can't find anything to eat, come to my side, although my side is not rich, but I can still save a few nests." ”

The old man nodded again and again, said to Song Xiaohe Good Samaritan, Good Samaritan, wiped his tears and walked away.

"Get the old man's moving value, ten points, and the transformation character value, five points."

The mechanical voice sounded in my head again.

Song Xiaohe sighed, took Xiaomei's hand and turned around and walked towards the base.

"Eldest sister, why don't they have anything to eat? How old is his little grandson? Is it as big as me? Why don't you go to school? Doesn't he, like his brother, like school? ”

Song Xiaomei looked up at Song Xiaohe in confusion, her eyes full of doubts.

Song Xiaohe's heart was suddenly full of taste.

She bent down to pick up Song Xiaomei and sat on the stool.

"Little sister, they don't have food to eat because those who are officials are not people. His little grandson may be as old as you or as old as his brother. He may have wanted to go to school, but he couldn't, unlike his brother. ”

"Why can't he go, the school is there, the doors are open, if he wants to go, then it would be good to walk in."

Walk in?

A slight smile appeared on Song Xiaohe's face, children, they are really childlike words.

"He doesn't have tuition, he can't get in."

Song Xiaohe sighed and pinched her little sister's fleshy cheeks, "Little sister, you have to go to school hard, learn knowledge from your husband well, and strive to be a good champion in the exam in the future and be a big official." ”

Song Xiaomei laughed happily, but she didn't know what to think, and her little face collapsed again.

"But Aunt Zhang said that the girl's family can't be a big official, and she can't take the top prize."

"Not really."

Song Xiaohe hugged her little sister tightly, "The eldest sister will tell you the story of a general, this general is a girl......"

Song Xiaomei's eyes widened and she listened carefully.

At this time, Song Xiaohe didn't know how much impact she said to Song Xiaomei's life in the future because of what she said to Song Xiaomei.
