Chapter 92: Crisis of Intelligence
Du Mei couldn't wait to open the plastic bag in front of the computer and take out fried stinky tofu, fennel beans, braised tofu and Ruyi Hui braised soup.
"Well, I smell the fragrance through the screen." Meng Feifei salivated.
"I ordered you an extra one, but unfortunately, now you can only watch it." Du Mei deliberately teased her.
"No matter, I'm going to eat it back tomorrow!" Memphye glared.
"Do you know how this is done? Recently, I studied it in order to write "Jinling Scenery". Du Mei asked as he ate.
"Anyway, it's boring to wait in line, you can talk about it, I may use it for future shows." Meng Feifei watched helplessly as Du Mei munched.
Du Mei babbled, Mei Zi listened to them one by one, she is very talented in cooking, ordinary food, you can think of it, you can make it.
After all, it was two servings, and Du Mei couldn't eat it all after all. She moved the food aside, made an appointment with Meng Feifei to see her tomorrow, turned off the video, and continued to work with her head down.
Umeko concentrated on the four foods in front of her.
The night in Dujiagou was pitch black, and even the leaves of the trees were asleep. This tranquility was broken by a tight barking of dogs, and then, several dark windows, in turn, revealed a warm and dim light.
Du Mei woke up from her dream and looked around in a trance, her mother and sister were sleeping beside her, and this was her home.
Outside the door, the black chick's roar was full of murderous intent. Du Mei hurriedly got up in his clothes and lit the lamp.
It was the middle of spring, the weather was warm, and the family was getting up in a panic.
Seeing the bright light in the room, the black girl's voice became low and turned into a muffled hum.
Du Ying took the lamp, and Du Mei lifted a stick. When I got closer, I saw a thin person pressed under the black girl's paws, and he was holding it back, and he couldn't see his face.
"Meizi, it's me, don't let your big dog bite me!" When the people of the earth saw that the light was near, they began to plead.
"Dumbfounded? What are you doing! Du Mei heard the voice and said angrily.
"Meizi, I don't want to either, I'm all starved!" The second stunned didn't know whether to be afraid or ashamed, so he cried regardless of his face.
"You want to steal rice from my house?" Du Mei couldn't believe that her paddy had just been pulled back, and it hadn't been a day yet.
"Why me? Who doesn't have food at home! The second stunned man said unconvinced.
Du Mei was startled by his words, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his back. These words, when you think about it, are terrifying.
Compared with poverty, hunger is the most terrible. People work day by day, and the first thing is to fill the temple. Once the five interiors are empty, people will become trapped beasts, and all courtesy, righteousness and shame will be left behind.
Du Mei listened to the old people in the village say that during the civil strife in the Dashun Dynasty, there was a drought in remote places, and there was a tragic incident of changing children and eating.
Now that there is so much rice in her house, in the eyes of the hungry, it is all fat. Her family of orphans and widows, where can she keep it!
Du Mei's face changed, and she had to come up with a quick countermeasure. Relying on black chicks alone, one or two hairy thieves, don't worry, just be afraid, and move in groups. When the time comes, don't talk about the rice, I'm afraid the ducks will be looted!
"Third sister and fourth sister, you go and call Uncle Suo." Du Mei saw that the window paper opposite was glowing white, and turned around and said.
"Whoa." The two little ones went quickly.
It didn't take much time for Du Jiasuo to come. He heard movement at home, but Xu was a widow, so it was inconvenient for him to take the initiative to come to the door.
"Brunette." Du Mei called softly, and the black girl snorted and removed her four paws from the second stunned man.
"You rabbit cub, if you don't learn, you don't learn
Will climb the wall and steal! Du Jiasuo was stunned when he saw that he was getting up on the ground, and he scolded angrily.
"Uncle, Meizi, I can't help it. My mother has fallen ill in bed since the last time she was embarrassed, and there is nothing to eat at home. The second stunned man made a dusty face.
"Your mother has done something ugly, this is deserved, and the retribution is not happy!" Although Du Jiasuo and the second stunned father are old relatives, they do not protect them.
"Yes, yes, but it's not a sin that leads to death." The second stunned man lowered his head and rubbed the mud on his shoes.
"You went to the field to steal, and you stole it to Meizi's house, I think you want to eat prison food." Du Jiasuo kicked him.
"It's good to have food to eat now, and it doesn't matter what prison food is. It's better to be hungry every day! The two stunned pouts.
"You...... Hopeless! Meizi, you report to the official, and I will testify. Du Jiasuo was annoyed that he was not angry.
"Uncle Jiasuo, I want to ask you to give me a witness, I plan to take out some rice to lend to Ertunzi and other villagers who lack food." Du Mei watched coldly, and finally spoke.
"Ahh
"What?"
Du Jiasuo and Erzi spoke at the same time, and both of them were stunned.
"However, the grain is not borrowed for nothing, you have to make an IOU, and when you harvest the wheat, you will have to pay me back." Dume ignored their surprise and continued.
"Meizi, are you telling the truth? You are really a living bodhisattva who saves suffering. The two were stunned and babbled gibberish, with tears in their eyes.
"Go back now, and come tomorrow in the open." Du Mei waved his hand.
"Whoa." The second stunned thought that a beating and scolding was indispensable, but he didn't expect that Du Mei not only let him go, but also promised to borrow food, he was happy in his heart, turned around and walked away.
"Uncle Jiasuo, I'm sorry for you today." Dumay curtsied.
"Meizi, I don't have any trouble, it's just that you ......" Du Jiasuo didn't understand Du Mei's intentions.
"It's not a few days before the wheat opens, the villagers are also very hungry, I pull the rice back at this time, it is tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's mouth, today is a second stunned, tomorrow there are others, if you don't spread some, I'm afraid it can't be saved." Du Mei whispered.
"Hey, it's all about lack of food." Du Jiasuo listened to Du Mei's words and felt very reasonable.
sent the two stunned people away and sent away the Du family lock, Du Mei explained the relationship with her mother again, and the Xu family naturally decided everything. She had something in her heart, and she was confused for a while, and when the sky was bright, she got up.
Du Mei walked to the patriarch Du Huaibing in the morning dew, told him the origin of the rice, and talked about the idea of preparing to lend grain to the villagers.
"Meizi, was there a thief in the house yesterday?" Listening to Du Mei's words, Du Huaibing had been smoking a cigarette all the time, and suddenly asked coldly.
"It's a second stunned, I called Uncle Suo." Du Mei hung his head and said.
"I thought you were going to make trouble with me last night." Du Huaibing knocked the cigarette stick on the sole of his shoe.
"My family is full of female dependents, and the black girl can stop the two stunned yesterday, and he may not be able to stop others in the future. Everyone is hungry, and if they all have food, they will be safe. Du Mei did not hide his thoughts either.
In Dujiagou, her grandmother can't point to it, and her aunt and third aunt can't help them speak. If she wants to keep the hard-won rice and the life-saving food for the ducks, she has to find support.
Du Huaibing is Lizheng, and he is the patriarch, he is fair in judging things, and he has prestige in Dujiagou, so she just wants to ask him to preside over the borrowing of grain, so as not to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble.
"Meizi, do you know the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Qiu?" Du Huaibing put down the cigarette stick and took a sip of tea.
"I'm not giving it for nothing
They all have to pay IOUs, and they say that they will pay back the wheat after harvesting. Du Mei bowed his head and said.
"What if you don't get it yet? You see, these are all the people who have been asking me to borrow food for so many years. Du Huaibing took a stack of thick and torn papers from the table, the first piece of paper was shiny, and it looked like it was old.
"So much?" Du Mei said in surprise.
"This is all the account of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, people don't die and debts don't rot, they only owe it, and they renew the loan every year." Du Huaibing reluctantly patted the brittle paper.
"If they can pay it back, they owe me a favor for saving the emergency, and if they don't, I don't plan to ask for it, just because I am saving the poor. In the future, I think they won't embarrass our family anymore. Du Mei thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go with you." Du Huaibing filled the tobacco and stood up and said.
The second stunned man rarely got up early in the morning, and as soon as the sun jumped out of the horizon, he took the bag and went to Du Mei's house. Along the way, he met people and said that Du Mei had promised to lend him food.
He had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and he was afraid that Du Mei would not be able to speak last night, so he spread the word and forced Du Mei to lend him food.
Yesterday, Du Mei's family transported back the rice, which caused many hungry people to covet it, but they were not as anxious as the two stunned people, so they climbed over the wall to steal it that night.
Now, when they heard that they could borrow it, some people secretly tucked their pockets and went to Du Mei's house to see the strangeness.
The front door of the second room is densely enclosed, and there are those who want to take the opportunity to get food. Du Mei put the dining table at the gate of the courtyard, and Du Huaibing stood in the courtyard.
"Yesterday, Mei Zi did the embroidery work and got some food. She is also a good girl in our Dujiagou, sympathetic to the difficult life of the villagers, if any family can't open the pot, want to borrow grain, set up a note, and wait for the wheat to return her. Du Huaibing coughed and spoke.
"Can you really borrow it?" A woman looked suspicious.
"It's not easy for plums either." The other woman shook her head.
"On weekdays, the price of rice is higher than that of wheat, because I want to buy cheap rice from the previous year, so I just borrow a liter of rice and return a liter of wheat." Dume continued.
As soon as Du Mei said this, the outside of the courtyard was like a drop of water in a hot pot and exploded.
"In the end, it's a child, isn't it obvious that you're suffering, the wheat that has just been harvested is so damp!" An old woman shook her head.
"If you go to the town and buy it, you can buy a liter and a half of wheat for the money you pay for a litre of rice." The woman next to her shrewdly counted the accounts.
"Meizi, this child has a good heart, like her dead father." An old man with tears in his eyes.
"I'll come first, I'll come first." The second stunned man was squeezed by the crowd and couldn't stand still, and stretched out his arms for a long time.
"Let the scrap manuscript write the note, the house lock and Ah Zhong, you can help." Du Huaibing commanded outward.
Under the witness of Du Huaibing, the two stunned people were ghostwritten by the scrap manuscript, the words and paintings were charged, and Du Jiasuo and Du Zhong helped weigh them.
Although this rice is said to be from the previous year, it is properly kept in the Zhuangzi. When it was poured out, it was still golden, and there was an anxious one next to it, so I peeled a few of them and put them in my mouth to chew, and my mouth was fragrant, no different from new rice.
The second stunned man got the rice, just like the New Year, and left happily.
The people in the back, too, were itching in their hearts, and they all leaned up. Ten liters in your house, five liters in his, and the rice in the barn will soon be missing three sacks.
Wei Shi watched from the back of the crowd and scolded in his heart: "This is really called Huazi's New Year, and I can't keep the overnight meal." The grain that was brought back yesterday, I don't know how to be filial to the old man, and I gave it away in the blink of an eye! ”
When she saw that the people were almost gone, she went to the gate of the courtyard and said, "I will borrow food too!" 2k reading network
