Cheng Dazhu felt that the food was hot, and Li Lianhua and the others were very happy.

"Dad, the prince of Zhou is willing to send it, and we will accept it with peace of mind; Anyway, Mingyi has a life-saving grace to the prince of Zhou, and the prince of Zhou is very kind to Mingyi, this bit of food is just a drop in the bucket for the prince of Zhou, we think it is precious, and people don't take it to heart. ”

Li Lianhua is worried about the food stored at home, and it is better to have food than no food.

Cheng Yuandong lowered his face coldly, "You can't be insatiable, the prince of Zhou has done enough to repay Mingyi's kindness; We have not reached the point where we need food from others. ”

"I" Li Lianhua's face flashed with panic.

Cheng Yuandong stopped looking at her, and turned his head to look at Cheng Dazhu, "Dad, the prince of Zhou will send it and leave, what should we do?" ”

Cheng Dazhu was silent, and he couldn't send it back to others.

"Yuanxi, what do you think should be done?"

Cheng Yuanxi doesn't know either, how does he know what to do? People sent it in the face of his daughter.

Facing Cheng Yuanxi's deep groan, Cheng Dazhu pursed his mouth.

Cheng Yuanxi pulled through all the possibilities and came to only one conclusion.

"We can't send it back to others, and besides, the prince of Zhou pointed out that it was sent because of Mingyi; Then accept it, anyway, during this time, the prince of Zhou Wang gave Mingyi a lot of clothes, jewelry and gadgets. ”

Cheng Mingyue's eyes flashed with jealousy, looking at the appearance of the third uncle, the prince of Zhou should have given Cheng Mingyi a lot of things, which was cheap for her.

Li Lianhua forced a smile, "We are blessed with etiquette." ”

Chen Daya rolled her eyes, if she couldn't return it, she didn't want to accept it; Friends shouldn't give away so many things, Mingyi has never given back, and their family has nothing worth giving back.

Always taking advantage of others, that's not something a serious person can do.

"Father, mother, we have received the food of the prince, and we have to return the gift; As you know, we didn't have anything in the third room to return the ceremony. ”

Cheng Yuanxi nodded along with his wife's words, "We have always accepted the benefits of others, we have not paid at all, and the hearts of me and the child's mother are heavy." ”

"The prince of Zhou is willing, what do you mind?" Luo Cuihua frowned, "Besides, what is there at home, can the prince of Zhou take a fancy to it?" ”

Cheng Yuanxi was speechless, and Chen Daya pursed her lips and turned her head; Li is such a reason, but she is so reasonable to say that she is uncomfortable to hear.

can't afford to give people a worthy gift, so I miss this love; But looking at the words that come out of their mouths, you know that no one remembers this love.

What's going on? took Mingyi's great blessing, but took it for granted?

They are only responsible for enjoyment, and they have to find a way to return the favor and leave the favor?

"Okay, we can't get anything good for the time being, and we'll think of a way when we settle down; The days to come are long, so rest easy. Cheng Dazhu made a promise that if he had something that he could take out, he would send it to the prince of Zhou as soon as possible.

Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya felt a little better at this time.

"Dad, I don't have to do anything, people are the children of the powerful, we are just civilians, we should be cautious." Cheng Yuan West Road.

Cheng Dazhu agreed, "You should be cautious, and it is only right that this person has contacts and contacts." ”

"Dad and Son thought of going together." Cheng Yuanxi had a small look on his face.

Anyway, the grain was successfully left, Luo Cuihua, Li Lianhua, Feng Juhua, and Cheng Mingyue were all happy; As for how to return the gift in the future, that's not what they should worry about, the men in the family are not dead, and it's not their turn to worry about the women.

The grain was harvested, and Cheng Dazhu also remembered the words of the prince of Zhou, and privately told Luo Cuihua to open a small stove for Mingyi; Take care of Mingyi more on weekdays, don't chill Mingyi's heart.

Luo Cuihua was unwilling, but so much food was enough for their family to eat for several months; Since this is the case, then what can you do, but you can give one more bite to eat.

When Mingyi and Mingli cleaned up from the backyard, they knew that Zhou Ting had sent food.

Mingyi listened to it briefly, and was satisfied; Zhou Ting has the ability and responsibility, and if he says he will give, he will give.

"Dad, although the prince sent food, we also have to buy some to prepare; We don't know what the situation is on the road, but we can always have food to feel at ease. Mingli said solemnly.

After seeing more in the past few months, Mingli understands that food is the most important thing in a famine year.

Five hundred catties of grain sounds like a lot, but it's not really much; Their brother and sister have never let go of their stomachs to eat at home, they are all looking for food outside to barely fill their stomachs, if they really let go of eating, five hundred catties of food will not last long.

There are a large family of 18 people in the family, and a bowl of rice for each person also needs a lot of food.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded with satisfaction, "Mingli is sensible, and he has taken a long-term view of things, so continue to maintain it." ”

Cheng Mingli smiled slightly, knowing that he didn't need to say that his father would do it, and it was urgent to buy grain.

"Since you are so sensible, then go buy food with your father." Cheng Yuanxi swept his son's thin little shoulders, "Do you want to go with Yiyi?" ”

Mingyi thought about it and agreed.

The father and son went out together and found a shop that sold grain, only to know that there was only some fine grain left in it; The coarse grains were all sold out, and the number of refined grains was not much.

Go to the second one, same situation.

The third, the fourth, and the fifth did not buy 200 catties of coarse grain and 200 catties of fine grain; With an extra 400 catties of grain, Cheng Yuanxi asked the shop owner to help send it to the house.

As soon as Steward Lin heard that it was Cheng Yuanxi who ordered someone to send it, he took someone to move the food into the inner courtyard, the courtyard where Cheng Yuanxi and they lived.

Keeping silent, the things were delivered and made an excuse to hurriedly walk away.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, they were going to transport the grain alone; If you don't have food at home, you have the opportunity to open a small stove.

Chen Daya saw them laughing happily and was in a much better mood; To have food is to have confidence.

"Yiyi, Mingli, you two play, mother and father talk."

"Okay, mother."

Mingyi pulled his brother back to the room quickly, and when he returned to the room, Mingyi stuffed the nine chains sent by the prince of Zhou to Cheng Mingli; Under Cheng Mingli's puzzled gaze, he turned his head and ran to pull her gold and silver jewelry.

Cheng Mingli followed, looked at the group for a while, and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

"Turn out the gold and silver, and put it away." Mingyi put the gold and silver jewelry alone; These can be used as silver, and as for jade, it has to be pawned to exchange for silver.

The price given by the pawnshop will not be higher than the original price, and in general it is not as practical as gold and silver jewelry.

"Why put it in another?" Cheng Mingli asked suspiciously.

Mingyi said casually: "Because they are practical." ”

Cheng Mingli still didn't quite understand, and his inherent thinking made him not think too much.

"Daddy bought 400 catties of grain and spent a lot of silver." When the money is insufficient, the gold and silver jewelry sent by Zhou Ting can come in handy; She won't be able to wear jewelry for a short time, so it's better to prepare for the future.
