Chapter 13: Heavy Snow Falls
"I don't have to pay back my family's share." Someone else said, "In the past, when my family was having a hard time, your family also tried their best to help, but now there is just a little food, don't take it to heart." ”
"And me, my family's food doesn't have to be returned, and there wasn't much food in the first place."
Several women came out, shouting that they didn't need to return the food.
"They don't want me!" Zhang hurriedly said out loud, "I think you are all crazy, don't have good food, go raise a ...... that you picked up."
Zhang was about to say the words "losing money", but saw Li Rulan staring at him gloomily.
Thinking of the cruel words before, she was so frightened that she quickly silenced her.
Someone couldn't stand Zhang's style, and choked: "Sister-in-law Zhang, I remember that the second brother of the Shen family hunted a wild boar in the first half of the year, and gave your family two catties of wild boar, why are people sad now, you don't know how to help at all, you really have no conscience!" ”
"It was for my mother-in-law, not for me." Zhang said nonchalantly, "I didn't eat that wild boar, what does it have to do with me." ”
"You don't need to say more." Shen Zhengwen took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Sister-in-law Zhang, take your family's grain back now." If there are other people who want to return food, please come over, I have a list here, who has a clear memory of how much food they have produced, and I promise that it will not be short of yours. ”
In fact, he didn't think about asking for other people's food for nothing at the beginning, so he deliberately asked for this list of food donations, thinking that he would double it for everyone in the future.
It's good to do this now, so that he can see clearly which ones are people and which ones are ghosts.
In the future, when dealing with each other, it is better to treat them differently.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more women came out.
Shen Zhengwen didn't say more, and immediately found a weighing rod and returned the rice and grain to the three women.
The three women swaggered away when they got the food, and the rest of the women in the room looked at the backs of the three of them and shook their heads.
"Rulan, don't be angry." Sister-in-law Zhou comforted, "Don't pay attention to those shallow eyelids, there are still a few of us who are not good." When you're done with food, I'll send you some more. ”
"yes!" Someone responded and said, "We are all one and the same, so naturally we should help each other, and no one can guarantee that there will be no big or small things in the future." Those few are like this now for a little rice and food, and if they have the ability, don't ask others for help in the future. ”
The Jingguo rural management system is based on five families, ten families, one hundred families, ten miles and one pavilion, and ten pavilions and one township, with Wu Chang, Shi Chang and Li Zheng performing their duties.
Li Zheng was raising food for Shen Lao'er's family, and not every family went, but only went to eight or nine families who had a good relationship with Shen Zhengwen.
After a few more pleasantries, the women also left.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Shen Zhengwen said with emotion: "The icing on the cake is often there, and it is rare to send charcoal in the snow." I will always remember their affection. ”
"Don't put too much psychological burden on yourself, this is the fruit you plant on weekdays." Li Rulan smiled and picked up an old rattle and stuffed it into Xiao Niannian's hand, which was sent by Sister-in-law Zhou to Xiao Niannian to play, and most of them brought some small things that the children at home couldn't use.
"It's because you treat everyone really that they are willing to help us. If they need anything in the future, we will do our best to help. ”
Xiao Niannian casually played with the rattle in his hand, blinked his eyes, and secretly wrote down the words of his father and mother.
In the next few days, Xiao Niannian once again showed her amazing amount of food.
The Shen family went from being stunned at the beginning, to gradually getting used to it, and then to the current indifference.
Since Xiao Niannian appeared, they have seen too many impossibilities, and now they have nothing unacceptable.
At the same time, the drought in Taoli Village is getting worse, and many wells are no longer able to produce water.
The fields were cracked, cracks were growing, and the few seasonal vegetables in the fields were on the verge of dying.
Those refugees who were already at the foot of Taoli Village had the intention of leaving.
Shen Lao'er's family is no exception, there is only a little water left in the well, Shen Zhengwen is always frowning, looking at the well and sighing.
Xiao Niannian saw these in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.
That night, she finally felt that the spiritual power in her body had accumulated enough.
It's time for a timely snow for Taoli Village.
The art of calling the wind and snow is an entry-level spell, which is nothing to a divine beast, and it does not require much spiritual power.
It's just that she has a seal on her body, and this body is too weak, so she can only accumulate spiritual power by relying on supplements, so it takes so many days to accumulate enough spiritual power for the snow summoning technique.
Today is the fifteenth day of the winter moon, and the washing moonlight has plated Taoli Village with a layer of silver light.
Everyone went to bed early, and the entire Taoli Village was quiet.
Suddenly, a golden light rose straight into the sky from the direction of Shen Laoer's house, illuminating a small piece of the sky.
The silver light was fleeting, disappearing into the sky in a direction that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Only a few scrawny watchdogs in the village seemed to sense something and barked at the sky.
The villagers were awakened by the barking of dogs, and thought it was a wild beast coming down the mountain, so they went out to check it out with spears and hoes.
But they looked around, but they didn't find anything unusual.
At this moment, patches of silvery white snowflakes fell under the influence of the north wind.
Cheng Sheng is Lizheng, the first to go out with a hoe.
When the snowflakes fell on his face, he suddenly froze in place.
Reaching out and wiping his face, the snow had turned into ice water, which made him sober up in an instant.
"God has eyes! God has eyes! It's finally snowing! ”
Cheng Sheng shouted happily to the sky, but he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He watched the sky last night and concluded that there would be no snow for nearly a month.
Who knew that there would be rain and snow falling tonight, which had to make him believe that this was an auspicious day with eyes.
"It's snowing, it's snowing!"
At the same time, the others also noticed that it was snowing and cheered with joy.
"It's wonderful! Now we will have a good harvest next year! ”
What the farmers are most looking forward to is a good harvest in the coming year, and this snow, as if they have seen a good harvest in the coming year, their simple faces are full of joy.
"What? Snowing? Shen Zhengwen was sleeping Zhengxiang, but he vaguely heard someone shouting that it was snowing, and he was so shocked that he ran outside before he even had time to put on his clothes.
Raising his head, he felt the coldness of the snow, and he believed that it was really snowing.
"It's snowing! It's really snowing, hahaha! ”
Li Zheng just said yesterday that there will be no snow for a while, and this sudden rain and snow is really a surprise.
He was only wearing a middle coat, but he didn't feel the slightest cold, and walked around the yard happily.
It wasn't until Li Rulan came to shout that he happily returned to the house.
