After packing up their things, Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya practiced four bags of fifty catties of fine grain on the stage and walked out of the small courtyard and went to the small courtyard where Cheng Dazhu and his wife lived.

Cheng Mingli led his sister to follow behind, boasting that when he grew up, the two of them felt that they had to participate in everything.

"Dad, mother, you came out for a while." Walking into their yard, Cheng Yuanxi saw that their house was lit up, so he raised his voice and shouted.

Mingyi glanced at the faint light reflected in the window, and there was a faint figure in the window.

"It's the third."

"Go out and have a look."

Two figures could be seen walking through the large antechamber through the window, and then the door was opened; Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua stood on the inside of the door, looking at the family of four in the courtyard.

"Why did you come here on the big night?" Cheng Dazhu was the first to step out of the door, Luo Cuihua followed, his eyes swept from Cheng Yuanxi to Cheng Mingyi's face one by one, and finally landed on the four grain bags they brought.

"What are you?" Luo Cuihua was excited and flustered, excited that she guessed that the bag contained food, and panicked that if the bag was really food, then where did the food come from?

Cheng Yuanxi wiped his sweat with a smile on his face, "Daddy, let's go to the houses of those who opened the door in the town to take a look, those rich people left some things behind in a hurry; The amount of food looted by the family is really a lot. ”

"You went to someone's house to find it?" Luo Cuihua's fingers trembled, and she looked at her son in front of her in disbelief, "How can you go to someone's house to find it?" ”

Cheng Dazhu also disagreed, "Third child, you are a scholar, if you are known by others, do you want your reputation?" ”

Cheng Mingli was apprehensive, after all, he was young and his heart was undecided; For the elders questioning his father, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at this moment, giving him the illusion that he had done something wrong.

The corners of Mingyi's mouth twitched, "Grandfather, grandmother, the homes we went to were all homes with open doors and no one was there; If we don't take it, someone will search it when the tribesmen react, and even if the tribesmen don't go, the displaced people who come behind will also find it. ”

"Is there any difference between letting someone else find out and us finding out? These are all entrance things; We don't have much food left, and there are many mouths to eat at home, what can we do if we don't look for something to eat? And they can't buy food. ”

"Grandfather and granddaughter think that Daddy is right; In the face of integrity and reputation, life is more important, and with life there will be other things. ”

Cheng Mingli woke up like a dream, what my sister said was right, everything is not as important as living.

“.” Luo Cuihua opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything about the reprimand, what the little granddaughter said was right; She can also think of it, but it is not advisable to break into the empty door.

Cheng Dazhu calmed down and said rationally: "Even so, it's someone else's business." ”

Chen Daya was displeased with her calm face, and turned her head to look at the husband who was speechless.

"Grandfather is angry, my grandson knows that you do not approve of our approach, but my grandson thinks that this is a helpless move; The rich have forgotten the food, and they have not closed their doors, so it is not an exaggeration for us to go in and find something to eat, but to make the best use of it. ”

"Even you" Cheng Dazhu was annoyed, and his fingers pointing at Cheng Mingli trembled slightly.

Cheng Yuanxi's family is frank and right.

Cheng Dazhu was angry, Luo Cuihua came forward and said: "Okay, the grain has been moved back, what's the use of talking about this now; It's better to think about how to explain the origin of the food to the other two rooms, after all, it's not a good thing to break through the empty door, and you can't let them know. ”

Hide it if you can.

For the sake of the youngest son's reputation, you should pay attention.

Cheng Dazhu finally calmed down after a long while, staring at four bags of fifty catties of grain; After that righteous energy, my heart can't help but float and relax.

There are a lot of sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren, and now that they have so much food, there is always a sense of crisis missing.

"Only this once, I can't take other people's things again." Cheng Dazhu took it lightly and continued: "You can't say anything when you go to rummage through other people's food, Mingli and Mingyi forgot about it, and they never went out tonight, you know?"

Cheng Mingli nodded solemnly, "Grandfather, don't worry, we know." ”

"Good, go back, don't do this kind of thing next time."

The grain was handed over to Cheng Dazhu and his wife, and Cheng Yuanxi's family was sent out.

Chen Daya looked at Xianggong speechlessly, and squeezed his hand distressedly; worked hard to plan for the family, and temporarily put down the temperament of a scholar for a little food, but he didn't get the understanding of his parents-in-law.

"I'm fine, Mingli and etiquette go back to sleep." Cheng Yuanxi smiled, and only Chen Daya saw how reluctant Cheng Yuanxi was smiling.

In her heart, Xianggong is a man with a very good temper, and few people in the world can match him; Family first, parents first, very responsible.

If it is not a last resort, as long as the town can buy food, the minister will not go to the empty door.

The problem is that there is no one in the town, and there is no food to buy, so what is the next step?

If you haven't eaten, do you drink the northwest wind on the road?

Cheng Mingli led Mingyi and walked back, and Chen Daya looked at her husband worriedly, "Daddy is just talking, don't take it to heart." ”

"I know, my father and mother are doing it for my good." Cheng Yuanxi shook his head, the smile on his face couldn't be maintained; It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to be in it, it's true that I'm not happy in my heart, "That's it, after all, it's my fault as a son, just don't do this kind of thing in the future, listen to my father and mother." ”

A large family will never miss their bite to eat.

Chen Daya nodded and led him back; When he entered the courtyard, he closed the courtyard door and looked at the room where his children were, and there was no wax in it, and it was pitch black.

There were no candles in the courtyard where they were, so they couldn't light them; And the courtyard where Cheng Dazhu and them are located should be the courtyard of the original owner's family, with everything available.

"Don't think about it, fortunately we left dozens of catties of food; In the future, I will quietly open a small stove for the children, and I can eat for a long time while saving some food. Chen Daya persuaded.

Cheng Yuanxi sighed, "It's not for this, but there should be other people in this town who have food; I thought I'd look for it tomorrow, but my father and mother said so today, so it's not appropriate for us to go again. ”

I don't have to upset them.

"If you don't go, you won't go, we won't be hungry for the time being; There are dried meat, wild vegetables and grain from our sons and daughters, and it is a pity that those things cannot be obtained. ”

Chen Daya has become the most open-minded one.

"Oh, so be it." Cheng Yuanxi gave up and continued to look for things, "Sleep, I can rest for a day tomorrow, and I will get up late after sleeping." ”

Chen Daya nodded in response, in the end, she was a little worried that Xianggong was uncomfortable, she always observed his expression when she slept, and waited until he fell asleep before falling asleep.
