Chapter 88: The History of the Struggle of the Peasants 34
Time flickered, and a cold winter passed.
During the lunar month, the relief food from the imperial court arrived, but the relief food disappointed everyone. The whole village has 20 sacks of relief food, and most of them are stones.
The crowd was furious, but what could they do if they were just ordinary farmers?
Tian Fuguang took the lead and accepted the relief food.
They had been busy for a long time, and then they had sifted out the stones, and they got twelve sacks of coarse grain.
Although they don't say anything, everyone knows that the imperial court is unreliable, and they can only rely on themselves, but fortunately they still have hope.
In the new year, Ikeda Village will not be depressed after the disaster, nor will he lose hope for the future.
Instead, it was a scene of prosperity and prosperity, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
On this day, Tian Tian Fengming divided all the remaining sweet potatoes in the family to the villagers, and then explained the planting method in detail to everyone, and Xi Jiang also watched from the side.
Everyone knows that the youngest daughter of the Tian family is the first person to grow sweet potatoes.
Seeing that she had no objection, the people began to work with joy.
At this moment, a huge black shadow in the distance rushed over. The speed of action is getting faster and faster, and in a short time it is in front of everyone.
It turned out to be people from nearby Wangjia Village and Linjia Village.
"Why are they here?"
"This is here for a fight?"
didn't wait for everyone to continue speculating. The two village chiefs had already walked to Tian Fengming's side and cried.
"Tian Engong, save Linjia Village!" The village chief of Linjia Village was about to kneel as soon as he came up, crying and wiping his tears, grieving, "This winter, eight people starved to death in Linjia Village, and a whole eight lives were lost!" ”
Tian Fengming hurriedly stepped forward and helped people, with three black lines on his forehead, how can he love this trick!
The village chief of Wangjia Village also cried bitterly, and when he wiped his tears, he secretly glanced at it.
This old man Lin is ruthless enough, this is completely shameless. However, thinking of the situation in the village, as well as the pitiful amount of disaster relief food in the imperial court, he was also ruthless and wanted to kneel.
Tian Fengming made a look, and Tian Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to support the village chief of Wangjia Village.
"Two village chiefs, let's just talk about it if we have something to say? Don't kneel anymore, the younger generation can't stand it. ”
Tian Fengming helped the village chief of the Lin family and glanced at the large army that followed, all of whom were from Linjia Village and Wangjia Village. All of them were yellow-faced, skinny, as if they were falling when the wind blew.
Because the three villages are relatively close to each other, there are intermarriages between the three villages.
Some people in Ikeda Village recognized the visitor, plus the two village chiefs met each other. The people didn't understand that they had come to divide the grain and plant it.
A young man immediately looked at the little daughter-in-law beside him, a little angry, and said in a low voice: "You went back to your parents' house the day before yesterday, did you say it?" ”
People are selfish.
Ikedamura had known about the sweet potato for a long time, but everyone tacitly blocked the news and did not reveal anything about it.
However, when the daughters-in-law of Ikeda Village returned to their parents' homes, especially the young daughters-in-law of Linjia Village, they saw the tragic situation in the village and inadvertently told the story of the discovery of new grain in the village.
The little daughter-in-law suddenly cried and her eyes red, "My grandmother is dead, starved to death." I can't help it, I really can't help it. ”
Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, Xiao Young was reluctant to blame anymore, and comforted softly: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you." In the future, you have to discuss this kind of thing with me first. ”
The little daughter-in-law nodded weepingly.
Here, the village chief of the Lin family cried and described the tragic situation in the village to everyone one by one. Coupled with his personal experience, this remark was particularly touching and brought tears to his eyes. The village chief of the Wang family was on the side, making a little supplement from time to time to add a fire.
Everyone present thought of themselves and felt a little sad.
Seeing that the emotions were brewing enough, the village chief of the Lin family said what he meant, "Engong, you can't ignore the Lin family village!" Ask Engong to pull a handful of Linjia Village! Can you give us a little bit of this new grain? ”
Tian Fengming was a little embarrassed, there are only so many sweet potato seeds, where are the three villages enough?
But looking at the expectant eyes of the two village chiefs, I was a little unbearable.
At this time, a little daughter-in-law from Linjia Village stepped out and knelt down firmly.
"Engong, please give me a way to live! My daughter, who was less than a year old, starved to death in front of me. The woman burst into tears, and her mental complexion was not very good, and it was not too much to describe it as skinny and bone-ty, but it was not beautiful, but a little terrifying.
Xi Jiang watched from the sidelines, and his heart softened. Sometimes her heart is so soft, but sometimes her heart is as hard as ice.
She walked up to Tian Fengming and pulled his sleeve, "Daddy, sweet potato vines can be cuttings." ”
Tian Fengming's eyes lit up,
That's right! Sweet potato vines can be cuttings.
With so many seeds, you will definitely be able to grow a lot of vines, as long as you cut them in time.
Tian Qingming looked at the two village chiefs who were playing tricks, and shook his head helplessly, "Two village chiefs, I can't do this alone, I have to discuss it with everyone in the village." ”
The two village chiefs were not embarrassed by Tian Fengming, and one of them climbed and stood up, "Okay, let's discuss." ”
