"Don't mention that unfilial son!" Daddy Zhang snorted. At the beginning of the lack of food at home, Zhang's father said that his eldest son's family had borrowed food, but what was the result?

The eldest daughter-in-law said that the eldest son left home at a young age and became an apprentice under her father's knees, and her father provided food and shelter, and also taught the eldest son to learn skills, as if he was the father of the eldest son. And when the Zhang family sent their eldest son away, it was equivalent to severing the relationship with their eldest son. The Zhang family has not raised their eldest son for so many years, why should the eldest son raise their family? Not to mention that most of the things in the eldest son's house were brought by the eldest daughter-in-law. She doesn't want to use it to raise people who don't matter!

What made Zhang's father most angry was that the eldest son actually agreed with his daughter-in-law's words, and did not say a word throughout the whole process, letting the eldest daughter-in-law scold himself and drive himself out of the house. Since then, Zhang's father has been completely disappointed in his eldest son. Back then, he and Zhang Niang were so that their eldest son could learn a skill and live a better life in the future, so they couldn't bear to give him to others as an apprentice, not because they didn't love their eldest son. As a result, the eldest son misunderstood them and did not recognize them as parents, how could he not be heartbroken? Not disappointed? Not angry?

Zhang Niang's face was gloomy, she had not heard her daughter-in-law's words with her own ears and had not seen the performance of her eldest son, and she still had some expectations for them, but because Zhang's father was unhappy, she did not dare to mention the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law at home.

Father Zhang said: "I warn you, you are not allowed to tell the eldest couple about the wood, otherwise I will divorce you." ”

Zhang Niang hurriedly said: "I, I won't tell them." But can I send them some food? They don't have enough food to eat, right? ”

Father Zhang glared at Zhang Niang: "How do you explain the source of food?" ”

Zhang Niang: "Or do you say that the wood picked up the silver in exchange for the grain?" ”

Father Zhang: "Whatever you want, you have to save it, but you are not allowed to reveal the secret of the wood, otherwise I will never spare you." ”

After all, it is his own flesh and blood, although Dad Zhang is angry, he still can't let it go, not to mention that the situation of his family is much better, so he can help his eldest son.

Zhang Niang was happy when she heard this: "I will go to the county tomorrow, send some food to the stones, and buy another piece of cloth by the way, and make a new set of clothes for each of your grandfathers." ”

Dad Zhang snorted: "Make yourself a suit too, you haven't worn new clothes for almost ten years." ”

Zhang Niang happily responded.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, are you there?" There was a call from the gate of the courtyard, and Zhang Mutou heard it a little familiarly, but he forgot who the owner of the voice was.

Zhang Niang immediately walked out of the door and greeted the visitor: "Orchid, what's the matter?" ”

Orchid? Zhang Mutou remembered that this was the neighbor Aunt Orchid, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she had a good relationship with herself and her second brother. Aunt Orchid's daughter Yinqiao is the same age as the second brother, if the second brother hadn't died in the previous life, maybe Yinqiao could have become his second sister-in-law.

Aunt Orchid's face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "Third sister-in-law, I, I smell the aroma of rice porridge in your house, do you still have surplus food?" Can you lend me some? Me, I don't have anything to eat at home anymore. Me and my head can still bear it, but Huzi's kid can't stop eating. Can you lend me half a bowl of rice? A small half bowl is fine, I just want the kids to stutter. They must not be allowed to eat dirt. ”

Huzi is the son of Aunt Orchid, younger than Zhang Mutou, only a little more than five years old, and is the follower of Zhang Second Brother and Zhang Mutou.

"The child can't be hungry, you wait, I'll go get you rice." After Zhang Niang finished speaking, she went into the kitchen and filled a bowl of rice and took it out for Aunt Orchid.

Aunt Orchid was taken aback and hurriedly refused: "It's too much, it's too much." Just give me half of it. ”

"Take them all." Zhang Niang stuffed the bowl into Aunt Orchid's arms: "Don't be hungry Huzi, there is Yinqiao." Don't be hungry husband and wife, for only after you have eaten will you have the strength to find work. ”

"Third sister-in-law, thank you very much." Aunt Orchid went home grateful.

Zhang Niang sighed: "Many people in the village have nothing to eat, what should we do next?" ”

Father Zhang also sighed, although his family has food, he can't support every family. As far as the grain they bought today, one bowl per family was not enough.

"Dad, mother, don't worry. The people and horses of the imperial court for disaster relief are about to arrive, and everyone will be able to share food to eat at that time. Zhang Mutou comforted Zhang's father and Zhang Niang.

"This news was also told to you by the gods?" Dad Zhang asked.

Zhang Mutou nodded, just let the so-called immortals help him carry the blame, convenient!

Dad Zhang asked again: "Did the god say that how long it will take for the food for disaster relief to reach our county?" ”

Zhang Mutou: "There are still six or seven days." ”

Dad Zhang frowned: "So long?" Won't many people in that village go hungry for six or seven days? What if someone starves to death? ”

Second Brother Zhang also frowned when he heard this: "There is nothing to eat at home, wood, can I send them some food?" ”

The bolt is a good friend of Second Brother Zhang, and since Second Brother Zhang proposed it, Zhang Mutou can't help but agree.

"Send it." Zhang Mutou said, "Dad, why don't every family in the village send half a bowl of rice, although it won't play a big role, but at least it can make everyone survive until the food for disaster relief is distributed." ”

Father Zhang was happy when he heard this, and patted Zhang Mu's shoulder: "Okay, it's worthy of my son." When we have the ability, we should try to help others. Bricks, you and the wood will be separated from each other and send rice to the villagers, and then tell the villagers the excuse that your mother just thought of, that is, your brother picked up the silver and exchanged it for grain to distribute to everyone. ”

"Dad, my name is Zhang Deyuan now." Second Brother Zhang said.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you Deyuan in the future, okay?"

Second Brother Zhang was satisfied, stood up, pulled Zhang Mu and said, "Let's go, Mu, let's send food." ”

Zhang Mutou squinted: "Second brother, you should change your name to call me Deguang." ”

Second Brother Zhang smiled: "Okay, Deguang, let's go." ”

Zhang Mutou shook his head amusedly, followed Second Brother Zhang into the kitchen, and the two of them each found a cloth bag that had been sewn many times, filled the bag with rice, walked out of Zhang's house, and went to each villager's house separately to distribute food to the villagers.

The villagers are grateful to the Zhang family, at this time, a mouthful of food is the grace of life. The villagers all believed the Zhang family's words, and felt that Zhang Mutou's luck was too good, it was a lucky star, thanks to the silver money he picked up, he was able to exchange it for food, so that the whole village had one more chance to live.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Second Brother Zhang also told the whole village his new name, which made many young people envy him. They also want names that have connotations and culture!
