Early the next morning, Shen Xiaoyu got dressed, Cui Fenglan was cooking porridge on the stove, seeing that Shen Xiaoyu got up so early, she asked, "Go to the city so early?" ”

"Well, my dad hasn't gotten up yet? The aunt told him that I would go first. Shen Xiaoyu said that he was about to leave.

Cui Fenglan asked: "Don't be busy walking, if you don't eat in the morning, you will be in a hurry, and you will feel cold!" The porridge will be fine for a while, you are not bad for a while! So saying, he gathered the fire in the pit and lit it brighter.

Shen Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "I'm in a hurry, if I don't buy the lock quickly, I'm not sure!"

Cui Fenglan smiled, took two steamed cakes from the curtain in the pot and asked Shen Xiaoyu to bring them: "Then eat on the road, don't choke on the cool breeze, your stomach is going to be troublesome, and don't be hungry." ”

Shen Xiaoyu took it with a smile, and didn't care whether he choked the wind or not, he ate while walking.

"I see, I'll go first!" Shen Xiaoyu just went out like this.

She has also walked many times on the way to Liaoyang City, this time she went to buy a lock and came back, and she couldn't let anyone steal a grain of her own food! The people in the village used to keep saying that his father sold his daughter for glory in exchange for food, saying that the food was not clean, but now he is coming to steal her "selling food" again, and he doesn't want to lose his face!

The two cakes were eaten on the way, and it was really good to have food to cushion the stomach. When he arrived in Liaoyang City, Shen Xiaoyu went to the hardware store first and looked at the lock carefully.

The lock costs several copper coins, but compared with the food at home, these coins are not so reluctant to take out.

I took the lock, tried it several times, and made sure that it was a good lock before giving the money. When she got out of the store, she didn't rush home, but looked around the city.

It's winter now, there are few jobs, and even the place where you do coolies and carry big bags is full of laborers, and everyone can't find an errand, and her idea of finding an errand for Daddy Shen has directly failed.

After grabbing a circle, she turned to the small street where food was sold, and this time she saw the food seller, and she was able to take out the two of them.

"Uncle, you want buns, meat!" Shen Xiaoyu directly took out the two of them.

The uncle who sold steamed buns still remembered Shen Xiaoyu and said, "Girl, are you rich?" But the price of this bun has risen again, and now it's a child! "Now the price of food is rising, and the price of meat is also rising, even if he sells buns at a higher price, he makes less than before.

Shen Xiaoyu's face was entangled, and she was a little distressed when she had one more child.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyu entangled, the uncle smiled: "Come on, don't sell you a child, take it!" Then he took a meat bun for Shen Xiaoyu.

Shen Xiaoyu was happy: "Thank you, uncle!" Uncle's business must be prosperous! After saying thank you sweetly, she sat on the stone steps next to her and ate, the cool breeze blew, the buns were still steaming, she took a bite, the meat was fresh and soft, and the mouth was full of fragrant!

The uncle looked at the child happily and said, "Last time, uncle heard you say that you were going to sell yourself, and you sold it?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and nodded: "It's done, how else can you have money to eat steamed buns?" ”

The uncle sighed and said, "Are you stupid, this kid, you can eat steamed buns now, maybe you will die one day in the future, and you can still laugh?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled stupidly, and when the uncle saw it, he took another bun and said, "Eat, it's given to you by the uncle!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu took it and felt the kindness of the uncle, although his father and mother had told him before that the things given by the living people could not be eaten, but this uncle was a good person.

"Thank you, uncle!" Shen Xiaoyu took a bite, scalded on his mouth, and warmed his heart.

Shen Xiaoyu left after eating the buns, and when he left, he didn't forget to throw two children into the uncle's money, the uncle looked at Shen Xiaoyu's back, and said with a smile: "This little girl is quite benevolent!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu walked all the way to the city gate, and when he was about to leave the city, there was chaos.

Liaoyang City was originally not big, but there were many rich and noble people.

A carriage was rampage, and all the people on the road were in a hurry, and when Shen Xiaoyu reacted, the car was about to hit people.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at a small little kid on the road who was crying in open crotch pants, and his ass and eggs were frozen there in the cold weather, and his parents didn't know where to go! Seeing that the carriage was about to collide, she hurried to run.

Shen Xiaoyu threw herself to the ground with the child in her arms, and her big crotch hurt, but fortunately, the child was fine.

helped the child up, and at this time the child's mother ran over crying wolf, holding the child and crying.

Shen Xiaoyu watched the child's mother crying with her child, her mouth was about to be flattened, and she missed her mother too.

"Thank you, little girl! Thank you! You also go quickly, these people are not easy to mess with! The child's mother thanked her and left first with the child, and she didn't ask Shen Xiaoyu if it hurt if she fell, and ran in a hurry.

Shen Xiaoyu rubbed his crotch, his eyes were also red, and he muttered in his mouth: "Why don't these mothers have a long heart!" "I dared to let go of the child's hand on the street, and I was not afraid that the traffickers who had photographed the flowers would take the child away!

When she turned around after muttering, she saw someone getting out of the car, pointed at her nose and scolded, "You don't have fucking eyes!" If you get your car dirty, can you afford to pay for your cheap life? ”

Shen Xiaoyu pursed his lips, and then said, "You are a cheap life, your whole family is a cheap life!" After saying that, he ran away and went straight out of the city to go home.

The man was still chasing, and a voice came from the carriage: "Old Wu, come back, you are still in a hurry to leave, I have already told you not to hurry up on the downtown street." ”

"Yes, young master!" The one called Lao Wu came back respectfully.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the car closed his eyes when he saw that he was fine, and he was wearing a literati uniform.

After Shen Xiaoyu ran out of Liaoyang City, she walked all the way home, and the way home was very easy, thinking that she would lock up the food when she returned home!

When I got home, I found that there were many people at the door of my house, and I surrounded the door of my house.

When someone saw Shen Xiaoyu coming back, they talked about it, and Shen Xiaoyu couldn't hear it clearly, so he hurriedly squeezed into the courtyard and saw that the village chief was coming.

The village chief's surname is Qian, he has been the village chief for decades, and his family has some accumulation, if there are two families in the village who are okay with this disaster, one is her Shen family, and the other is the village chief's family.

"Uncle Qian." Shen Xiaoyu called someone, and then looked at Daddy Shen, Daddy Shen shook his head, and Shen Xiaoyu stood behind Daddy Shen.

Village Chief Qian answered, and then: "When the adults speak, the children will go back to the house first." ”

Father Shen shook his head: "Xiaoyu is not a child anymore, she can hear everything in this family, so the village chief will say it directly." ”

Village Chief Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xiaoyu, who was also smiling, with a simple look.

Cui Fenglan poured hot water and stood behind Father Shen.

"I'm here today to discuss things with you, now that the people in the village are all affected, they can't survive one by one, and several of the older ones have died, and now I want to talk to you, can we give you some food to tide you over?" Village Chief Qian said.

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he stabbed Father Shen behind him, and the meaning was obvious.

Father Shen naturally understood what he meant, so he said: "The village chief laughed, although our family has some food, but it is not enough for the whole village to eat, now that the three of them are eating, it is not easy to survive this winter, where can I get it......

Seeing the embarrassment on Daddy Shen's face, the village chief said: "Brother, we can't do this, how many families have this meal now, and it's not that your family is out, our family is also out!" ”

Father Shen didn't know what to say for a while, if the village chief's family also came out, and forced their family to come out, their family would have no choice.

Shen Xiaoyu stood up at this time and said: "Uncle Qian, our family really doesn't have much food, and these grains are all my selling money, I have called my uncle for so many years, and my uncle really can't bear it?" She said this with a pitiful look, and it depended on whether the village chief was soft-hearted or not.

The whole village knew how the Shen family's food came from, so even if they came to steal it, they didn't dare to say that they wanted to borrow it to their faces. Now everyone is looking at the village chief's family to open this mouth, and they also want to see if the Shen family will give it or not, and if they don't give it to them, they won't be able to say anything, but if they do, then their families will be able to get some food.

When Village Chief Qian saw Shen Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, he said: "Xiaoyu, it's not that the uncle is hard-hearted, and there are many children in this village, aren't they pitiful, they are all as old as you, can't they also starve to death, right?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu's heart sank, he was really not soft-hearted!

Father Shen also knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he said: "Our family can only take out a bag of cornmeal now, and we have to live the rest!" ”

Although Shen Xiaoyu was angry, he also knew that this matter could not be avoided, everyone's eyes outside the yard were almost green, and it was safe to exchange a bag of cornmeal, so change it if it can be exchanged.

When the village chief heard this, his face was relieved, and he said, "It's better than nothing." "It's a happy promise.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't expect the village chief to be so easy to speak, and he felt a little unsure, so he said: "The uncle's family should have a lot of food, and the villagers pay a lot of taxes and grain every year, right?" After Shen Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked at the people at the door, the food left over from the tax payment every year was recorded in the book, just to ask for it in the time of the disaster, and now the people in the village suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, even if it was not much every year, but it added up every year, there were some.

Village Chief Qian's face darkened, and he said: "There is not much, and the tax grain is enough every year!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu didn't say anything, anyway, she said what she should say, it was natural for the village chief to take out food to help, but her family was completely selfless dedication! She took the food, but she can't be regarded as a wronged person, and she has to be clear when she should be clear!

Father Shen went to the cellar to get food, and Shen Xiaoyu said loudly: "Dad, remember to lock it when you finish it!" As he spoke, he took out the fist-sized lock he bought and handed it to Father Shen, in front of so many people, let them know that no one would want to steal their own food!

Father Shen couldn't cry or laugh with the lock, and went to get the food.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at his bag of cornmeal and took it away, and he was so distressed that it was uncomfortable, this was coarse grain in exchange for twenty catties of rice, and it was eighty catties!

The village chief took the cornmeal and said, "Then I'll go first." ”

Shen Xiaoyu didn't bother to send it, he didn't see anyone when he needed help one by one, and he came earlier than anyone else when he asked for something!
