Chapter 684: Collision (1)
The winter in the south was cold and damp, the dark clouds pressed on the top of their heads, the frost and wind swords slashed at the thinly clothed people, and the cold people shrank their necks.
"Seeing that it's Chinese New Year's Eve, those wealthy families gather in one place to eat and drink spicy, what about us? I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter. ”
One person sighed, causing everyone around him to wipe tears in frustration.
Yesterday they had some hope for the future, even if they lived casually, they could eat a mouthful of hot food every day, so that they would not starve to death, and when they were full, they seemed to be more cold-tolerant.
But now, the porridge shed is empty, and their hope of survival is deprived.
"It's all the history of the high classics! It's all those corrupt officials! ”
"They don't treat us as human beings at all, so how can they care if we are dead or alive?"
"I still have an old lady at home, there is no porridge for rich and good people, what should my mother do?"
……
The helpless people wiped away their tears, and the hot tears suddenly turned cold in the cold wind.
And those who have a bigger temper have already left their anger.
"Let's go to the Gaodian History Review!"
"That's right, Gao Dianshi must release the great good people who do good deeds!"
"Didn't I see him deal with the wicked people who robbed the house, but he arrested all the good people who did good deeds with a shy face? Does he want us to die? ”
"Let's go, let's go together!"
The angry crowd was boiling, some people wanted to go to the Gaodian History Mansion to ask for clarification, but some people were afraid of Gaodian History and did not dare to go.
Some people shrank back in fear, because they knew that Gao Dian Shi was powerful, but everyone else was going to Gao Fu, if they didn't go, what if others wanted to get benefits, and they couldn't?
However, everyone's entanglement was only for a moment, because most of the people were already out of anger and had no time to think, so the crowd pushed and squeezed, so they walked in the direction of the Gaodian historian.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling in the direction of the square leading to the main street. Some people who were nearby looked back, but they saw several ox carts, which were loaded with firewood, grain, cooking utensils, and other items.
The person who followed the car said loudly: "We are here to give porridge, don't worry, don't be crowded, wait for a while!" ”
This person's voice is not high, but some people say soup porridge, and such a big news still spreads far and wide.
The people who were closer stopped, looked at the ox carts in disbelief, and saw the servants in khaki coats arrive at the porridge shed, use the stove that had been built to make a fire, and some people wash the pot and wash the rice, although it is brown rice, but the sound of the grain pouring into the pot is so wonderful that everyone can't help but swallow their saliva.
There was a fire in everyone's stomachs, and most of them had already made up their minds that they must let Gao Dianshi give an explanation. However, the boiling anger could not be vented at this time, because of hunger.
If they walk away, they don't know if the person who gave the porridge this time is every day, and they don't know when the next time they will have a chance to eat.
"Let's go back, let's eat first."
"yes, you have to live before you can think about anything else."
The crowd comforted and persuaded each other, and returned to the square again, waiting for the soup soup to begin.
But the anger in everyone's hearts will not be extinguished because they have food to eat, they will only be more angry, and secretly blame themselves, after all, they are all selfish, and they can't give up for the good people of money.
The cauldron was steaming, and the aroma of grain gradually diffused. The crowd lined up with bowls to get the porridge.
But this time, the porridge is much thinner than the porridge of the rich and good people.
When the men helped to serve the porridge, a steward explained: "Our son-in-law's family has limited conditions, and it is not as rich as the rich and good people's family. If you let the big guys eat thick porridge, I am afraid that the food will be exhausted no matter how long it takes. Don't be surprised, big guys, it's only serious to live anyway, more forgiving, more forgiving! ”
The steward, who was in his early thirties, seemed to be very loyal, and all the people believed what he said.
Some people said: "Your mansion is doing good deeds, so that we can survive this winter, where will we meet the strange?" ”
"Yes, your son-in-law is a good person, dare to ask him the old man's name?"
The steward waved his hand and said with a smile: "The prince has ordered, don't talk about his name outside, the big guy just eats porridge." ”
The people didn't ask each other's names, but their gratitude was still there.
It's just that I think of the thick porridge and dry food that Qian Dashan gave them and pickles, and then look at this bowl of gruel, everyone still has some comparisons.
They don't hate the soup cooks, they hate the history of the high classics.
If it weren't for Gao Dianshi's unreasonable trouble, they would still have dry food to eat now, and they wouldn't even dare to eat the gruel in one go, for fear that after eating this meal, no one would come to the soup porridge tomorrow, and no one would take care of them.
Qin Yining sat in the carriage and looked at the ragged people in the square, and his heart was indescribably sad.
Lowered the car curtain, turned back to the shopkeeper Zhong and said, "Our financial resources are still enough, how can we help them survive this winter." The soup kitchen cannot be stopped. Hold on until the beginning of spring when everything recovers and they can find another way to live. ”
Shopkeeper Zhong nodded and said: "Don't worry, although there has been a disaster this year, our grain is for this porridge factory, and it can still be supported if we save a little money." You can't cook thick porridge, you can use thin porridge, and the big guys can survive. ”
"That's what it means." Qin Yining nodded. "Zhong Da's shopkeeper is doing things, I have always been relieved."
The shopkeeper Zhong arched his hand and said with a smile: "The princess has praised it." It's just that I'm also a little worried, the big guy can be fed and clothed, and if the resentment against Gao Dianshi disappears little by little, what should I do? ”
Qin Yining smiled, "I had the opportunity to eat dry food, but now I can only eat gruel by Gao Dianshi, who can not hate him?" ”
"But whether it's dry food or gruel, they don't get it themselves."
"That's human nature." Qin Yining said, "People's greed is instinct, this is not to belittle anyone, but they have had the opportunity to get better, but they have been hindered by others, and people in anger will only remember this, but they will not think so much." ”
Shopkeeper Zhong nodded thoughtfully, and had a new understanding of Qin Yining's ability to analyze people's hearts.
In the following days, the porridge factory kept serving porridge on time, and although it was only a thin porridge, it was really a life-saving food for many refugees.
Although everyone can't eat enough, they won't starve to death, and they are all grateful to the new "great benevolent people".
It's just that everyone's hatred for Gao Dianshi, as Qin Yining expected, has definitely not decreased by half a point.
At the same time, Gao Dianshi once arrested a woman who wanted to do good deeds and locked her up, but it had already spread.
