Song He'er expected that Song Xiaoyu didn't know it, although he had been in the officialdom for so many years, he was also a pure person in the end, and he didn't understand those deceitful things at all.

These things are also easy for Song Xiaoqi to do alone, and he is not ashamed.

"It's okay, third uncle, I'm just asking, you can work." Song He'er replied.

Song Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time, shook her head and continued to work.

Ruizhen came very late, the sun was overhead, and it was already noon, and she came from not far away with a child less than a year old, and her face was very haggard.

Zhang Xiu'e raised her head and saw that she was walking this way, so she greeted her and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" Why is your face so ugly, if you don't feel well, you can talk, and it's okay to come back tomorrow. ”

Ruizhen shook her head, there was no trace of blood on her pale lips, "It's nothing, I can do it, you teach me, I can do anything!" ”

Seeing her so persistent, you can also see her recent predicament, she must not be able to open the pot, and there will be no food for a few days, so she will be forced to take her children out to work.

Zhang Xiu'e looked at her swelling all over her body because of hunger, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she had to say: "Okay, you come with me, the child will be next to him and play with Brother Huan, I see that he is an obedient person, he should be a while and a half, and he will not cry." ”

Ruizhen smiled sadly, "I haven't fed him for two days, he has no strength, so he can't cry......"

When Qin Xiaoniang heard this, a surprised expression appeared on her face, "The child hasn't eaten for two days?" How? Are you not going to starve your child? ”

Song He'er looked at the child's little face, sallow, sallow, although he was about the same age as Brother Huan, but this size was far behind, although Brother Huan was not very fat, but it could also be called healthy.

But this child, when he saw it, was sick and couldn't help him.

"Auntie, do we have a mouthful of porridge left in the morning, feed it to this child."

"Yes, yes, I think the same way, but then again, we don't have much rations, so don't tell outsiders about this today, we can't help everyone."

Ruizhen's eyes were red, and she nodded again and again, "I know, I naturally know, thank you for your kindness, I kowtow to you." ”

As he spoke, Ruizhen was about to kneel down for everyone.

Zhang Xiu'e pulled her up and persuaded: "If you really want to be grateful, then learn quickly, do more work, earn more money, and eat will not be a problem in the future." ”

Ruizhen nodded, followed Zhang Xiu'e to the side of the oil paper, and practiced seriously.

Song Xiaoyu and Li Qiang, when they were busy building a house, also came over to work together.

Towards evening, a few people made more than 60 oil-paper umbrellas, about 120 yuan.

Song Xiaoyu looked at the oil-paper umbrella that came out of the hurry, and couldn't help frowning, "How much is this?" Today's shipments are too small, the owner gave us 200 raw materials, and only made 60 today, tomorrow night I am afraid that it will not be delivered on time, we still owe people money. ”

Zhang Xiu'e looked at the sun that was already setting in the west, and replied: "It's a big deal to work overtime at night, you haven't worked for half a day, and you are busy with the affairs of the house, so we women are naturally slower." ”

What Zhang Xiu'e said makes sense, in the morning, Li Qiang and Song Xiaoyu were busy taking off the adobe and did not work, and Chunrao and Chu Chundi were responsible for watching a few children, and the only people left were Qin Xiaoniang, Zhang Xiu'e and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law.

Song Xiaoyu sighed, "Hey, then continue to do it at night, but you have to light oil lamps at night, and you have to use firewood to make a fire, what is the trouble.....

"That can't be helped!"

The sky is getting darker and darker, Chundi has already started cooking, Ruizhen sees the situation, and wants to leave with the child, not wanting to take other people's alms.

Song He'er saw her leaving with her child in her arms, so she quietly followed behind her......

No matter how miserable the people here are, there is still a shack to live in, but this lady and an old man who can't get out of bed are actually crammed into a stone cave to sleep, and the cold wind pours in at night, and there is no shelter, which is really pitiful......

Song He'er only glanced at it, and left in a hurry.....

When she returned to the tent, Zhang Xiu'e was serving rice to the children, and when she saw Song He'er coming back, she filled a bowl of thick white porridge, put a few green vegetables on it, and then handed it over.

"I haven't seen fresh vegetables in a few days, have you? Eat quickly. ”

Song He'er looked at the porridge in the bowl, and her heart was mixed.

"What's going on? Eat? ”

Song He'er sighed and took the bowl of porridge in Zhang Xiu'e's hand, "Third aunt, why do you say that in this world, why are men always negative?" ”

Qin Xiaoniang was directly stunned, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"No, I just followed Aunt Ruizhen to her place, which is dilapidated, it's not a place for people to live, and there is an old man with gray hair inside, if it goes on like this, it won't take a few heavy snowfalls, and people will freeze to death......"

Qin Xiaoniang shook her head helplessly, "Her man spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, lived in the mountains with a prostitute, and completely forgot that she also had an old mother and child, she was really a beast, worse than your father!" ”

As soon as Qin Xiaoniang mentioned Song Xiaoqi, the roots of her teeth itched with anger, so on weekdays, everyone kept silent about this person's name, and treated him as dead.

"If you want me to say, this person is really pitiful, although we don't have the conditions to help people, but we can't watch good people being bullied to death by bad people, so let's hand over the goods tomorrow, give her more money, and pay her more for an umbrella that I said before, and pay her more, it should all be our care...... "Zhang Xiu'e replied.

Everyone felt that what she said made some sense, so they all nodded.

.......

Nanzhao.

The place where Jiang Huaifu lived was built in the most hidden place on the border of Nanzhao, and it was a house near the mountains and rivers that he bought with the identity of a businessman in Nanzhao, which was not only clean, but also a good place for self-cultivation.

To survive in other people's territory, it is naturally necessary to be cautious, and it is inconvenient to be overly publicized, so Jiang Huaifu asked those soldiers to change into the clothes of ordinary people.

When it is not necessary, there is no need to guard the outside of the courtyard, and only when discussing business with people will the soldiers order the entire courtyard to be strictly guarded to avoid mixing with people with evil intentions.

"Your Highness, Zou Yanei is here."

Jiang Huaifu frowned, put down the ancient book in his hand, and waved his hand to the maidservant waiting next to him, "Let's go down.....
