Chapter 179: Helping the villagers survive the winter

In the following days, Ye Shaoke invited a mother-in-law from a line of defense in the village to come to the house, and handed over the sheepfold and the wool in the space to the mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law's surname is Zhang, and she has lived in the village for more than 30 years, she has no children and no daughters, and she is also living a very miserable life, she is still looking for the person chosen by Ye Yang's family. After Mrs. Zhang took over the work of Ye Shaoke's wool spinning, this winter was her best winter. No longer worried about being woken up in the middle of the night, and not afraid of being hungry anymore, I am very grateful to Ye Shaoke for giving her such an opportunity.

Winters in Baiye Village are very depressed. Usually people who have a slightly better life at home will nest at home in winter, even if they can satisfy their stomachs with coarse tea and light rice, they will not be hungry.

But some families, when winter comes, it is as if they are fighting with their own lives, and every day is considered a day. Sometimes the snow is heavy for the next seven or eight days, and many people even if they are determined to freeze to death outside, they have to go out to find a few bites to eat.

On this day, Ye Shaoke took Qingsu and Li Xiuyu to learn to knit sweaters in the front yard, and Ye Yang came with a few snacks made by himself.

"Auntie, you haven't been here for a long time, come and warm up, such a big snow, we won't hold an oil-paper umbrella."

Ye Shaoke took the basket in Ye Yang's hand and put the soup woman in his hand into her hand, Ye Yangshi shook the snow on his body before speaking.

"It's okay if you don't think about it, just come and sit, what are you doing?"

Looking at Li Xiuyu and the two of them knitting sweaters that had not yet taken shape, Ye Yang asked curiously.

"It's clothes, made of wool, and I heard from the girl that it's warm to wear." Qing Su knitted a sweater more than a card long and brought it to Ye Yang's face, and said very proudly.

The girls in their family are smart, not only are they good, but they also have a lot of ideas! I didn't expect that the wool clothes were more comfortable and warm than the cotton clothes, and the one in her hand was made for Brother Tao, and the girl also said that when the wool was enough, she would make one for her, and it was beautiful to think about.

Ye Yang really has never seen such clothes, and some should not believe that four bamboo skewers and one thread can make clothes! She took the yarn in Qingsu's hand and studied it.

She knew how to weave cloth, but she didn't expect to be able to weave clothes, and this fabric was something she had never seen before, and it was soft and warm to the touch.

"It's a rarity! I didn't expect this clothes to be able to be knitted directly! ”

Seeing that Ye Yang was curious, even if Ye Shaoke wanted to teach her, the wool was not so easy to get.

"It's such a cold day, I don't know if grandpa is in good health, I have to go to see his old man even if I'm going to see him." Ye Shaoke took a few snacks in the closet and put them in front of Ye Yang's table, and then pulled up the homely cooking.

"Okay, even this snow has been falling for these days, he is a little worried, thinking about the people in the village who have a difficult time, he has the heart to be powerless and unable to exert his strength, and it is uncomfortable to hold back alone at home, you can go and see him."

Ye Dashan is also the previous village chief of this village, although he is old, he is also a worrying person.

"Yes, this heavy snow is also a foot thick, my family is better now, if you can do something for those folks, you let the uncle tell me."

When Ye Yang heard Ye Shaoke say this, of course he was happy in his heart!

"Hey! I said that you are a good girl, thinking that last year, you were still a thin girl who couldn't eat enough and didn't warm up, but I didn't expect that it would be long before I took my family to live in such a big yard. ”

Looking at the life of Ye Shaoke's family today, who is not envied in this village! Putting aside her relationship with the Night King, her skills have been praised by the people in the village!

"Qingsu, you go to find Zhang Wu, ask him to drive the carriage, go to the town to buy a thousand catties of grain back, and buy some ready-made winter clothes and quilts, as well as some vegetables and fruits that can be placed, buy more, just say that I plan to use it for those people in the village who are a little more difficult, and he will arrange it."

Ye Shaoke told Qing Su everything he thought of, and Qing Su was ordered to put down the sweater in his hand and go to the backyard to find Zhang Wu.

"Auntie, our family also came from a hard life, and our family was also difficult in the winters of those years, and we also understand the difficulties of the villagers, do you think there is anything else to add?"

Although Ye Shao is not a kind-hearted person, but within his own strength, he can help if he can. Thinking about himself is also negligent, although his family is not worried about eating and drinking, but he also does not think of a way out for the people in the village, even if the relief is temporary, it seems that he has to think of a way out with the people in the village, so that they can also live a better life.

Ye Yang's family was originally just pulling in front of Ye Shaoke, who would have thought that when she mentioned it casually, people would take the initiative to help!

"Xiao Ke! You saved the lives of those villagers, and if your uncle knew that you had solved such a difficult problem for him, he would definitely have fun at night and not sleep! ”

The relationship between the two families was originally close, and Ye Yang's was originally a cheerful character! Even if she was very grateful to Ye Shaoke for the help he gave to those villagers, she would not say more words to compliment her.

"We won't say anything extra about my aunt, you see if there is anyone in the village who feeds the pigs, if there is, help me buy two or three, and the pigs will be slaughtered in these two days, and some will be sent to those villagers."

"Good, good! This matter is on me, and I will go back immediately and tell the master about it, and I must go back soon. ”

As he spoke, Ye Yang got up and planned to leave, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Well, then I have to trouble the uncle to count the number of difficult people in the village, and I can distribute the things when I buy them. If some villagers' houses are really not sheltered from the wind and cold, I can also build a few rooms for those who are in difficulty, so please ask my aunt to convey my intention to the uncle. ”

"Great! That's great! You don't know, just the old man Zhang at the head of the village, living in a grass hut with his grandson, I'm really afraid that after two days, the old and the young will really run out of gas, with your help, those people don't have to endure hunger and cold anymore. ”

The news that Ye Shaoke wanted to help the poor people in the village soon spread in Baiye Village! Many people went to Ye Changrong's house to complain, hoping to include themselves in the poor family.

Fortunately, Ye Changrong, the village head, is not in vain, of course, he also knows that those people in the village are really poor, and which ones are pretending!

As long as the family has land and a house, it is not in his statistical range! He even braved the wind and snow to visit the poor families door to door.

After a circle, there are more than a dozen households that have run out of food, and there are seven or eight households that need a rest house, and there are still about a dozen households that eat a meal of clear soup and brown rice grains a day, although they are not out of food. There are even some who have contracted the wind chill because they have not eaten and the weather is cold, and they are lying in bed without healing, just waiting to die.

Ye Shaoke looked at the registration in his hand, and was really worried about those villagers. Fortunately, after half a day's effort, Zhang Wu came back with a few carts of food and daily necessities.

"Uncle, these things are here, there are a lot of people in my family, you can distribute them, I will ask my family to send them according to their needs, so that they have to go out to get them in person on such a cold day."

Ye Changrong looked at the number of people registered, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Then each family will divide eighty catties of grain, and the rest will be divided equally according to the number of grains, and think that in the spring they can save some and pass. I have already asked Butcher Zhang to go to my house to kill the pig, and it will be delivered to them later. ”

"That's fine, those sick people, just trouble Uncle to take Dr. Meng to show them, I have all the money for the medicine, I will go back to Dr. Meng to knot, I also have some silver here, every family in the village will send five taels, and also show a little heart."

Thinking that it is just to help those poor people, many people in the village must have opinions, thinking about this country, even if life is good, it is also frugal. Although she likes silver, she also hopes that the silver can be used in useful places.

When Ye Changrong heard that there was still silver, his heart was even more excited!

Five taels! This is a lot of people who can't save so much in a year! Thinking about Ye Shaoke, he really didn't say anything about being a person! Although I have a better life, I don't forget other folks! With a person like her, it's no wonder that the two princes are also vying for it! Not only will he earn money, but he will also have a good heart, and he is really a rare good person! This matter must be reported to the town, and his face is also bright!

Ye Shao donated those things in the name of his father, and also spent money to hire people to build ten houses on the vacant land that connects the back mountain and the village entrance, and the houses are designed according to modern suites, but a small yard is designed at the door of each house, and a backyard is also designed for raising some livestock.

Because Ye Shaoke spent double the wages, it only took more than ten days for those craftsmen to build the house, looking at the small courtyard with white walls and black tiles, those villagers who used to live in leaky grass sheds and mud walls wiped their tears excitedly.

These people thought that their family was going to freeze to death this winter, and they thought that there were still such good days waiting for them. At this moment, looking at the snow flying in the sky, those people are no longer afraid!

This winter, all the villagers of Baiye Village have lived a rare life of food and clothing. Of course, most families are grateful to Ye Shaoke's family in their hearts.

Today, as soon as Ye Jing returned home from the town, he found Ye Shaoke.

"Shake, I came back from the town, I heard that Wang Yuanwai's family has a Zhuangzi to sell, Zhuangzi is not far from our village, it is only more than ten miles in the past, a total of 300 acres of paddy fields, and more than 500 acres of slope land, I am thinking that there is no land at home, do you think we should take this opportunity to buy it."
