Chapter 415: Ancestor Manifestation
As soon as the sky was polished, the old village chief opened his eyes on time, listening to the roaring wind outside the window, and the crackling sound of the window paper on the edge of the window, and before he had time to stretch his brows, he screwed together tightly.
At present, it is getting cold day by day, and many families in the village are about to run out of cooking, if the above does not allocate relief food, it is estimated that many people will not be able to survive this winter.
"Alas......" The old village chief put on his old cotton jacket, sighed long, moved to the edge of the kang, and lit a dry tobacco bag.
The village chief's daughter-in-law was folding the quilt, smelling the choking smell of smoke, and muttered unhappily, "Why did you smoke again early in the morning?" I don't want to listen to what your throat looks like, coughing can be split, why don't you know how to smoke a little? By the way, you went to the town yesterday, what did the leader say, when will the relief food be given? ”
The village chief paused with his hand holding the dry tobacco bag, glanced back at his wife, got off the kang and put on his shoes, and walked outside with his back bent.
"This tobacco smells so good, I'll go out and smoke it."
"You old man! In the end, you squeaked out whether to give food or not, and many people came to me yesterday to ask me. Ay~! It's early in the morning, it's not cold outside......"
Listening to his wife's questioning, the village chief walked more hurriedly, but as soon as he entered the hall, the village chief's eyes were attracted by the snow-white paper at the main entrance.
"Entrusted by others, I gave the villagers 50,000 catties of corn cobs, 10,000 catties of wheat ears, 70,000 catties of cabbage, and put them behind the stage, and distribute them to the villagers as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news."
After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, the dry tobacco bag in the village chief's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", the hand holding the paper began to tremble, and the corners of his eyes were slowly stained with wetness.
Worried that he was mistaken, the old village chief rubbed the corners of his eyes again, carefully read the contents of the paper, looked up and looked around, carefully folded the paper, stuffed it into the pocket of his clothes, and ran to the brigade headquarters with his legs raised.
50,000 catties of corn! 10,000 catties of ears of wheat! Someone can't be coaxing him to play, right?
There is so much grain, but the harvest of sixty or seventy acres of land in a good year, how can anyone give away the harvest of sixty or seventy acres as soon as he makes a move? It's all fine grains.
Even if they really want to send it, who can have such a great ability to get so much food to give away?
How much does that cost!
Someone must have coaxed him into that letter......
The village chief thought crankily all the way, and quickly ran into the brigade headquarters, and ran directly through the small door on the side of the stage.
At the first glance of the backstage, the village chief was almost dumbfounded!
On the wide and flat bluestone floor, you can see the piles of grain and cabbage like a hill, the yellow ears of wheat, the golden corn cobs, and the green, tender and watery Chinese cabbage.
The village chief rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then reached out and gave himself a mouthful, only to confirm that he was not mistaken.
It's really food!
Someone really sent food to the village!
The people of the village can finally live!
Even if he closes his eyes now, he is not afraid of seeing his ancestors without a face.
The village chief's lips trembled, and he kept wiping the wet corners of his eyes, grabbed a handful of ears of wheat, rubbed them in the palm of his hand, blew off the empty shells, picked up two dry and full grains of wheat, put them in his mouth, and chewed them carefully.
This wheat is so well planted, and the smell of wheat is so strong.
It's just that which kind person sent this old lot of food?
Who has such a great ability not to alarm the 2,000 people in the village and quietly transport tens of thousands of catties of grain to the village?
This old man has a lot of food, and there is no sack, how did he move it to the back of the stage?
Ah! Could it be...... The ancestors have appeared!
The village chief wiped the corners of his eyes, took a few steps around the middle of the stage, knelt down in the direction of the damaged land temple in the back village, and kowtowed five times.
This must have manifested the ancestors!
How else would you explain the grain?
It was almost time to go to work, and instead of brightening up, the sky was becoming more and more gloomy and dark, and scattered snow fell from time to time in the air, mixed with the wanton roaring wind, and the faces of the people who hit them hurt.
Blown by the cold wind, the village chief quickly calmed down, and seeing that it was almost time to go to work, he hurriedly found hemp rope to tie up the wooden door that entered the stage, went out through the small door on the side, and walked towards the old accountant's house.
The person who left the letter said that he wanted him to distribute the grain to the villagers as soon as possible, and he would not let him leak the news, so he had to find the old accountant to sum it up and see what to do about it.
When passing by Lao Yun's house, the village chief had a pause, and a thought flashed in his mind: Did Chief Bai send those grains over in front of Xiangnan's face?
There have been three workers in their village over the years, and there is also a college student Yun Shuilian, no matter how powerful and capable these people are, they can't get tens of thousands of catties of fine grain.
After all the calculations, it is most likely that only Chief Bai will give food.
He is the commander of the military region, and he has so many soldiers under his command that the PLA can send food in without realizing it at the first order.
It's just that this matter is also mysterious, no matter how much chief Bai is the commander, it is estimated that he will not be able to get so much food, and he will give it to the people in the village for nothing.
Besides, why did Chief Bai give their village so much food?
Even if it is for the sake of Xiao Xiangnan's face, it is good for people to take care of Lao Yun's family in private, and what is it to take care of the entire village together......
Yunshang didn't know that the village chief almost suspected Bai Yancheng, and at this time, he was carrying a gift and followed Gu Shinian into Lao Han's house.
In the courtyard, Zhang Mingyang was tilting his head up, opening his mouth to catch the snow falling in the air, and when he saw the two of them entering the door, he screamed strangely, and pounced on Gu Shinian with a smile.
"Brother Shi Nian, didn't you go to the provincial capital, when did you come back? Sister Yunshang is also back together? My brother Han Yang wrote back and said that I played with you in the provincial capital! ”
"Grown!" Gu Shinian patted Zhang Mingyang's head with a smile, and continued, "I came back at ten o'clock last night, Grandpa Han is not at home?" ”
"My grandfather went out for a walk, and my grandma was at home." Zhang Mingyang circled around Gu Shinian, and shouted at the house, "Grandma! Brother Shi Nian and Sister Yunshang are here! ”
Before the words fell, Mrs. Han had already wiped the water beads on her hands and came out of the house, and when she saw Gu Shinian and Yunsheng, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, so she quickly pulled the two closer to the house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find delicious hospitality.
Yunshang took a sip of the sweet, hot sugar water, took out the trough cake in the bag, and handed it to Zhang Mingyang, and asked Mrs. Han, "Grandma Han, are you and my Grandpa Han okay?" ”
Mrs. Han put the persimmon cake and red dates she found in Yunshang's hand, and said with a smile, "Okay!" I went to the street to help with your grandfather Han when I had nothing to do recently, and I was busy every day! ”
