The next day, Wan Chaoyun lay on the window stable and looked at the opposite path, this is not time, why hasn't Lou 15 come yet?

Do you really want to let Uncle Gui go to Qingzhou again? No, who knows if Zhang Shanji has sent someone to keep an eye on him?

"Girl, Aunt Cui from the village is here." Mama Zhou walked to the window and whispered, she also looked at the opposite path, the girl has been watching for a long time, is she waiting for someone?

Wan Chaoyun only raised his eyes slightly, but he didn't stand up straight, and said lazily: "Something?" ”

"Aunt Cui's maiden family is here." Mama Zhou replied.

Wan Chaoyun glanced at her, "Let's get to the point!" ”

"Aunt Cui's family lives in the cattle herding village next door, and many people in their village have run out of food one after another, and the fields have not yet grown, so ......" Mama Zhou glanced at the little master and found that she was still lazily staring at the opposite path, "So Aunt Cui's family wants to come to our family to exchange some food, and Mrs. has returned to Qingzhou to see her in-laws, and before leaving, I told you to make decisions about the affairs of the family, girl, you see?" ”

"Didn't the imperial court release disaster grain again?" Wan Chaoyun straightened up when he heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, didn't the new prefect see that Wanquan's previous experience was committing a crime against the wind?

Mama Zhou was extremely glad that she hadn't left Wanjia, and at the same time, she said with sympathy: "Aunt Cui said that her old mother was sick, and their whole family exchanged two buckets of rice for medicine. ”

In disaster years, although two buckets of rice are few, if there is no disease, they can barely survive until the autumn harvest.

Wan Chaoyun silently calculated in his heart that his father's Yulu this month was reduced to nine grades, and the monthly Yulu was 5.5 stone rice, that is, about 850 catties, and 100 catties were used as his grandfather's medicine money, and there were about 750 catties left, and the day before yesterday, the village outside the village was exchanged for 120 catties......

And there are still seventeen days before next month's payment, "Mama Zhou, how much food does our family have?" ”

"I scattered a little before, there are about fifteen stones left, the lord said that he would have to send three stones to the second room in a few days, and there was no entry in the second room, so he took pity on them." Mama Zhou said that she hates Mama Kwai very much, but in the end, it is a hungry year, and she can't say anything.

The left and right are starving to death, although the Yulu given by the imperial court is all old grain, but the old grain is also grain, Wan Chaoyun didn't think about it, so he nodded, "Use the food that can survive to see the old mother, it can be regarded as filial piety, give one more bucket." ”

"Hey." Mama Zhou is as happy as if she has food, maybe she doesn't have to worry about eating in Wanjia, I don't know how expensive food is, Wan Chaoyun saw that she was happy, and couldn't help but scold: "Mama Zhou, are you shouting outside that our family has food in stock?" ”

Mama Zhou was poured a basin of cold water on her head, and her face was stunned for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses, "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid also know that it is not easy to be hungry, how dare they say that we have grain in stock, and Aunt Cui is just here to ask, the girl can rest assured, the slave and maid know the truth that food cannot be exposed." ”

Wan Chaoyun's expression relaxed, "It's good that you know, we live in a thatched house now, you have to be careful, Dad still needs to worry about it for three years." ”

"Yes!" Mama Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Go ahead." Wan Chaoyun waved his hand, and his eyes fell on the opposite path again, why hasn't Lou 15 come yet!

Mama Zhou was discharged from the hospital and walked to Aunt Cui, who was standing by the river waiting for news, Aunt Cui's face was full of vegetables, and dark circles were abruptly hanging on her face, thinking that she was worried about her old mother and didn't sleep well.

"Sister, what did your master say?" She was full of worries, who wants to take out the grain in a hungry year? Which one can't wait to dig a hole and bury it?

Mama Zhou thought about Wan Chaoyun's words, her face was embarrassed, Aunt Cui saw that her face was not good, and her heart fell to the bottom, is there no food in the least populated ten thousand families and five houses? He doesn't have any family, who else has it in the entire Wanjia Village? She has asked about the big house, the second room, the third room, and the fourth room, but she can't tell it.

"You also know that my grandfather has been demoted, and there will be even fewer of them." Mama Zhou said with a bitter face.

Aunt Cui's tears immediately fell when she heard this, "I don't want rice, anything else is fine, sister, you go and tell your master again, my old lady is sick and has just looked good, if you don't eat, you won't be able to live these days." She grabbed Mama Zhou's hand tightly, and tears fell.

"Oh, auntie, why are you an impatient? My girl said, your mother's family uses the rice to save the old mother, it is a filial family, such a family, even if my lord's family is hungry for a few days, it will be saved. Mama Zhou was once again extremely glad that she did not leave Wanjia, at least she could eat enough in Wanjia.

Happiness came too suddenly, Aunt Cui was stunned, and forgot to wipe the tears on her face, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, no, let me give you one more fight, but you have to keep it secret, after all, my grandfather was demoted, and he can't help many people." Mama Zhou took Aunt Cui's hand and told her that if you don't agree, I won't take rice.

"Sister, don't worry, it's just a disaster year, I'm rotten in my stomach, but after the disaster year, I won't hide it!" Aunt Cui is also an understanding person, simple and kind.

Mama Zhou smiled and turned around to take the rice.

Sending Aunt Cui away, the small hut fell silent again.

Green mountains, green water, people, like the scenery in the painting, quietly placed between heaven and earth.

Wan Chaoyun felt that it was impossible for Lou Fifteen to come today, she sighed, wait for three days, if he doesn't come within three days, let Wan Gui go to Qingzhou.

"Liu Mei, I remember that last time there were two buckets of glutinous rice in my father's Yulu, but are they still there?" Wan Chaoyun got up lazily, intending to find something to do.

"What do you want to do?" Her increasingly good-looking little face was full of excitement.

Wan Chaoyun smiled mysteriously, "Shhh, take advantage of my mother's absence, let's do it secretly." ”

The golden wheel in the sky gradually turned west, and the small thatched hut facing the sun fell into the shadows, Mama Zhou saw that there was wild celery by the river, and planned to pick two plants, but she was stopped as soon as she went out, "Mama Zhou." ”

The one who still called her Mother Zhou must be an old person from Qingzhou, and she was released as a slave, Mama Zhou turned her head to look, but saw Xiaosi standing at the door and smiling.

"Little Four, why are you here?" Mama Zhou was puzzled and asked, "Didn't your family be released by the old lady and stay in Qingzhou?" ”

After the separation, the old lady let go of a number of people, among which Mama Xiang's family got some resettlement silver, and her son was the shopkeeper in the shop, so they all stayed in Qingzhou, although they were not rich, but they did not worry about food and clothing.

"I'm looking for Liu Mei." Xiao Si raised the large and small packages in his hand, "Mother Zhou, where is Liu Mei?" ”

"Little Si, you also went out from Wanjia, why don't you understand the rules so much? Xiao Si is the big girl next to the sixth girl, how can she see a foreign man casually! Mama Zhou said unhappily, and she had no intention of letting Xiao Si enter the hospital.

Xiao Si smiled embarrassedly, "Mother Zhou, it's me who doesn't understand the rules, Mother Zhou, don't be angry, are the fifth lady and the fifth master here?" He asked.

"Not there." Mama Zhou didn't have a good airway, don't think she couldn't see it, in Qingzhou before, these little four eyes were glued to Liu Mei's body.

"Mama Zhou, I'm here." Liu Mei came out of the kitchen and scratched her head when she heard the words, she was obviously there, why did Mama Zhou say she wasn't there?

Mama Zhou: "......"

"Liu Mei, I've come to see you!" Xiao Si rushed in excitedly, and stuffed the things in his hand to Liu Mei, "This is your favorite mung bean cake, as well as shallot pancakes, by the way, and the things you bought in the fifteenth building, I will bring them to you." ”

Liu Mei looked confused, opened her mouth to speak, Wan Chaoyun rushed to her with a brisk step, "Where's the thing?" ”

Little four: "......"

"Girl, here." Liu Mei hurriedly moved the things back to the house, "Girl, the slave wants to eat glutinous rice." ”

"Didn't Xiaosi buy you mung bean cake?" Wan Chaoyun said while unpacking the package, thirteen spices and other spices are still only traditional Chinese medicine in Daxing now, no one has thought of using them to cook, if you want to gather thirteen incense, medicine is the best choice.

Liu Mei swallowed, "The slave doesn't like to eat mung bean cake now." ”

Xiao Si, who was listening to the conversation between the master and servant outside the door, received 10,000 critical blows in his heart.

"Xiao Si must have stolen his mother's silver, otherwise how could he have the money to buy you mung bean cake? Why don't you go and thank someone? Wan Chaoyun sighed, he was really favored!

Later, I don't know what Liu Mei said to Xiaosi, he left dejectedly, Wan Chaoyun saw that the momentum was not good, and immediately asked Mama Zhou to bring two buckets of rice to Mama Xiang's house.

By the way, I also sent a few buckets to Lou's house.

Hey, it's all debt.
