Official?

Ku Xia was puzzled, what is the official doing here?

A crowd of people outside the courtyard was lively, and the men and children of the Yu family were gathered at the door, as well as the village chief.

Surrounded by them was a middle-aged man in a dark green official uniform, judging from his big belly and the fat on his face, this person was obviously over-fat.

He was followed by a few little guys with their heads held high.

The village chief saw Ku Xia come out and beckoned to her, "He's Aunt Yu come over quickly!" The county magistrate is looking for you in a hurry! ”

"I'm just an old lady in the countryside, what can the official do when he looks for me!"

Saying this, Ku Xia still walked over, and she had already estimated in her heart what the county official was looking for her.

Sure enough, the brain-filled official glanced at her with his nostrils and said in a tone of voice, "You are what they said about Aunt Yu?" Locusts can eat is what you found? It doesn't look like that's it! How did you come up with the idea to eat locusts? ”

As soon as he spoke, the mustache on his chin was curled one by one, and he looked very happy.

Ku Xia said the nonsense she made up, "Master Huiguan, I'm afraid that you won't believe it when I say it, I have a dream of a god!" I thought that my family was dying of hunger, and there happened to be a kind fairy who found a way for me to live, if the locusts can really eat, then it is not only my family that lives, but all the people in the places where the locusts plague can live, don't you say that this is a great thing! ”

"Immortals?"

The official master curled his beard, his eyelids twitched, and he glanced up and down at Ku Xia with slanted eyes, obviously not believing her, but it didn't matter whether he believed it or not, the purpose of his coming over today was not simply to see such an old lady from the countryside.

He glanced at the little guy behind him, who beat a thousand people, and quickly went to the carriage they had, and followed the officers and soldiers who pressed the cart to carry down several large bags of grain and a small wooden box the size of two palms.

The official pointed to the three bags of grain and the wooden box and said to Ku Xia, "This is three stones of millet and fifty taels of silver, as a reward for you to solve the food problem for the victims." ”

The little guy opened the box in his hand, revealing a silver ingot with white flowers!

Few of the people present looked at the silver coins, and all their attention was on a few bags of millet!

Nothing is more appealing than food!

Yu Dalin and they were overjoyed, and thanked them again and again, Ku Xia was also very happy, she was confident that she could grow food, and it would take time for the food to grow, and now there is so much food that they will definitely be able to eat their own food!

It is estimated that one "stone" of grain in this world is about 100 catties, and three stones of grain is about 300 catties.

Ku Xia took the silver box and said a few words of thanks, "Thank you, thank you!" Thank you, county magistrate! ”

At the same time, Ku Xia had doubts in her heart, it stands to reason that such a big thing should not only reward such a small thing, she can be said to have temporarily solved the urgent needs of the people, so she only gave her a few stones of grain and fifty taels of silver?

Ku Xia quietly glanced at the round official master, but she didn't say anything, she is now an ordinary old lady who farms, what do you talk to people?

Some are good to eat.

The onlookers were envious, but no one said anything, after all, Ku Xia earned it by her own skills, and it was indeed she who found that locusts could eat, and they didn't keep hungry because they were also stained.

After sending off the county official, the villagers were still around to watch the excitement, they hadn't seen so much grain piled up together for a long time!

The village chief waved his hand, and was about to open his mouth to say that the villagers were scattered, what kind of people were gathered here, and they were like wolves that had seen sheep, and they almost held people's grain bags and gnawed them raw!

However, there are always some people who can't be carried.

A man with messy hair and shirtless came out, looking at the yellow and clear millet exposed in the grain bag, his eyes were salivating, "Aunt Yu, can you give me a little bit of this grain?" My mother hasn't had a full meal for a long time, look at your millet is really gluttonous! I don't need more, just two! ”

This person is really shameless, he opens his mouth and cares about others asking for food, what year is this? Who doesn't know that the most in-demand thing is food, and they don't exchange gold and silver! As soon as you touch your mouth, you will take care of other people's food?

Some of them don't say that they eat it themselves, but that they will let Kuxia distribute the food to the whole village.

A thin lame man with ribs clearly visible on his body walked out, "Aunt Yu, what do you think everyone in this village is hungry for?" You have so much food, why don't you take it out and help the big guys! We're going to be grateful to you! ”

"You see that one of your outsiders has taken you in from our village, do you have to show some thanks? I don't think that's a big deal, do I? Now the most valuable thing is food, I don't need much, just take out a bag of millet! If we share it together, we can last for a few days! What do the folks say about this idea? ”

As he spoke, he encouraged the villagers around him.

Yu Sanlin leaned into Ku Xia's ear and whispered to her that these two people, don't look at them, they have only been in this village for a few days, but Yu Sanlin has already inquired about more than 50 people in this village.

These two people are the famous lazy men in the village, Laizi, they don't work in good years, they recruit cats and dogs all day long, the east family mixes, the west family mixes, relying on the old people in the family to feed, and when they wait until this famine year, they are the worst, and there is no food at home.

The thin man with only ribs left, I heard that he also sold the children in the family!

However, not everyone is as shameless as these two people, some people may be hungry and do have a mind about those grains, but in the end there is still a little cheek, knowing that these things are all awarded to her by the county official because of the method of eating locusts in the bitter summer, these millets are old at home, and people can't eat them if they keep them for themselves, how can they share them!

Therefore, few people paid attention to the two who could talk, and they all went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.

The village chief copied the stick that was erected in front of Lao Yu's house, and drove it away from those two people!

"Go, go, what are you two going to do! Don't hang around here! Is the land that has been allotted to you finished? If you are worried about other people's food, it is better to go to the mountains to find wild vegetables to eat. Can you learn from others? Roll on! ”

The village chief is still very powerful in the eyes of these villagers, and these two laizi didn't dare to say much, so they ran away in disgrace.

"I'm sorry, he Aunt Yu, don't pay attention to those two people, those two people are bastards, and they are used to talking nonsense! I'll go back and get busy first, and I'll have to plant red millet when the land is opened! ”

Seeing off the village chief, Ku Xia beckoned Liu Youxiang to ask her to make some millet dry rice this morning, don't always drink thin porridge, and let these people in the family have a real full meal!

Only when they have eaten enough will they have the strength to work, and from today onwards, they will go to the ground!

"Huh! I'll go! ”

Liu Youxiang happily agreed, and happily took a basin to wash millet.

Ku Xia shouted at a few men in the family, and moved all the grain into the small warehouse at home and put it away, there are so many locusts on this hot day, don't pick up the locusts cheaply.

She herself carried the box containing silver taels into the house, and put the box into the small cabinet on the kang in front of Li Laidi.

Yu Dalin, a few people who hadn't eaten, felt that they were full of energy, and it was completely effortless to lift the food!

Even the two eight-year-old boys of Yu Dalin's family followed to cheer on the side, and Yu Daya's little girl was even more excited and her face was flushed, she didn't know what county officials were or not, she looked at those millets and knew that she would be able to eat in the future!
