Chapter 236: The Year of Relief from the Famine (25)
Don't dare to buy so much grain at once.
I'm afraid something will happen.
After the drought, there was a locust plague, and now there are more displaced people, and the price of food in the city is obviously rising.
Some time ago, it was still a tael of silver and half a stone of grain.
Now it's one or two or fifty wen and a half stone of grain.
Mrs. Zhang thought about buying food, but they couldn't buy it like this, so they went to the grain store and directly discussed with the shopkeeper.
The food they asked for was sent directly to their village by the shopkeeper. If they don't deliver it to their door, they will go to other homes to buy it, anyway, they are big households, and they buy a lot at one time.
Home delivery, that's as it should be.
The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and this was a business of a few hundred taels of silver, so he naturally agreed.
After a few days, the shopkeeper asked people to directly transfer food, but they didn't enter the city, and they went to the village to deliver it to them.
Mrs. Zhang only bought 500 taels of silver for grain, and the rest of the silver was not prepared.
You have to keep some rich money in your hand.
Just the 500 taels of silver brought in food was enough for their big guys to eat.
When the grain entered the village, every household distributed the grain and went directly to the cellar, and now there are not only potatoes but also grain.
The village chief and several old people took the children to the old lady's house in person, although they did not kneel this time, the old lady did not like people to kneel.
But the old village chief said that this was a life-saving grace, and there was no way to repay it.
These children will later be the old lady's children, following the old lady's surname.
This is a big thing in ancient times, and you must know whose descendants are all for the sake of passing on the ancestry and inheriting the ancestors.
Changing your surname is a big deal, unless it's a big deal.
Generally change the surname, then this kind of kindness is as great as the sky.
The old man said that the children and grandchildren of their family must remember the kindness of the old lady.
Without the old lady and their family, how could they have any inheritance, I am afraid that they would have been extinct long ago.
One cannot be ungrateful.
What's the use of Mrs. Song disagreeing, people can't help but disagree with her at all.
The whole village was changed to Songjia Village.
The old village chief also took the old lady personally, and they directly transferred the household registration to their village, and the whole village changed its surname to Song.
The old man said that the village is not rich for the time being, and when their children and grandchildren grow up and earn money, they will build an ancestral hall for the village, and if they can't build a big one, they will build a small one.
The old lady must be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Mrs. Song herself immediately became on the tablet, and she had to eat it every day.
But it's an endorsement.
The old lady and they started to build houses in the village.
After all, this village is too dilapidated, since they are serious in the village, they also hope to help the old man and them repair the house.
While the weather hasn't gotten cold yet.
Once it snows heavily, I am afraid that the house will collapse. The old man and the others are old, and they can't really do anything in the house, and the children in the family are all young.
If Mrs. Song didn't help them, it is estimated that after this winter, these people would be lucky enough to survive.
After all, everyone has experienced so much and has feelings.
Mrs. Song felt that she could help or help, not that she wanted to be a good person, but that she had no choice, at this time, if she was not a good person, she would have to watch them die, no matter how she said that these children now have their surnames.
They are also descendants of their family. If you don't have a blood relationship, you have to admit it, speaking of which, it's all your grandchildren.
The eldest and second and third are very energetic, and they feel that they are recognized.
In the village before, what was the situation of their family?
The poor in the village belong to their poor family, and no one wants to interact with their family, let alone his second and third uncles who oppress their family so much, who dares to have anything to do with their family? Now here they are recognized by everyone.
The three of them are also majestic and incomparable figures in the village.
Everyone has this psychological requirement.
The same goes for the eldest and the second.
If you are not an honest person, you will not pursue.
There was no such condition before, because there was his mother pressing on it, and his mother's way of doing things was not recognized by the villagers. No one dares to get involved with their family, and they can't be generous, even if they are poor and generous, they don't have the ability.
My family is starving to death.
Children can't afford to support them, let alone help others.
But now it is different, in this village, their prestige has reached its peak, and it can be said unceremoniously that the recognition of them in this village is much higher than in the original village.
The eldest child, the second child, and the third child work hard, and they are naturally full of confidence. In their minds, what they did was a lofty thing.
Not only do I live well and well, but I am also helping others and helping others.
Although there are not many people in the village, it is already satisfying for them.
Being able to make themselves live well, eat and drink well, and let others live well, this is something they couldn't think of before, but now they really do it.
The houses of the six families in the village were quickly repaired, after all, it was only six households, and not the people of the entire village.
The stones and trees on the mountain can all be used, the houses are stronger than in previous years, and the courtyard walls are erected.
The old village chief looked at this sturdy house and was also grateful in his heart, if it weren't for the appearance of this family, they would have starved to death by now.
Thinking about it now, they all felt that this family seemed to be sent from heaven.
Mrs. Zhang slept until midnight and suddenly woke up, mainly because her divine sense found that someone appeared not far from the village.
As long as it appears within the range of her spiritual power, she will naturally notice it, and there are quite a few people, adding up to more than a dozen people.
The spiritual power went out to investigate, but found that the person who came was probably the surrounding mountain bandits.
With knives, guns, sticks in their hands, and someone pushing a cart, it seems that someone has been discovering that someone is sending them food, so they have a crooked mind.
Yes, the bandits have not eaten for the past two years.
As far as the current combat effectiveness of the village is concerned, it is impossible to defeat these bandits at all, and the most effective ones are the three sons of their family, but they can't let the three sons deal with more than a dozen people, and they still have weapons.
Not to mention that there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people in this village, and the rest of their families are all underage children, and the six old people are all children.
If these people really break in, the children will suffer.
It's urgent, and it's not these people who are dead or injured.
Mrs. Zhang's heart is so stunned, if she has a storage ring, as for this?
Put out your own defense talisman, even if you are the Da Luo Immortal, you will also be accepted, but now it's good, so she has to use her brains here, who is on it now?
My son can't go up, so he can only go on it himself!
The old lady did it alone, thanks to the fact that she has been cultivating recently, otherwise she would have suffered a big loss now.
"One-hundred-nine, you can do it!"
119 continued to pretend to be dead, he found that Jiang Xiaoman's mental power was powerful, but as long as he hid in the mall, Jiang Xiaoman had nothing to do with himself.
