Chapter 379: The village needs to help the poor
Shen Ru got busy, and when he went to Heishui, he brought Cuixi and Wu Ya with him, eighty-five households, eighty-five copper coins, and when the time came, they would have to be distributed and recorded, and people were needed.
When he came to the village to send money, he naturally told the village chief in advance, no, Shen Ruyi and others arrived. The whole village was lined up.
"Folks, Miss Shen still has an identity now, and she is our Liangzhou Lady Thorn Shi." The village chief was very excited, "Mrs. Xiao knows that the people in our village are struggling to make a living, so she wants to give a consistent amount of money to every family. ”
"Village chief, what you said is not all right." Shen Ru said, "I think that not every household in the village lacks this money, but before there was black water in the mountains, I bought this mountain." Everyone also takes care of this well on weekdays, and out of gratitude, I gave everyone this money. ”
"In addition, everyone can rest assured that the black water coming out of my well will not cause any damage to everyone's farmland, and, most importantly, I will not let the black water bubble into everyone's fields!" Shen Ru said in a loud voice.
The people who guard this side, that is, the people of the village, will draw black water and transport it to the stone candle workshop every once in a while.
After Shen Ru spoke, the village chief immediately agreed.
"Okay, don't crowd, the village chief has given me the list of the whole village, everyone line up and start receiving money!"
Shen Ru saw that the villagers were a little excited, and they didn't want to say anything, so they asked Cui Xi and them to arrange for the money.
It didn't take long for the eighty-five families to send out the money.
"Mrs. Xiao, if you don't dislike it, come to my house for lunch, the countrymen have coarse tea and light rice, but they are all home-grown things, knowing that Mrs. Xiao came to send money today, I specially asked my mother-in-law to kill a chicken."
"The village chief is so polite, then we might as well be respectful." Shen Ru wants to have a good relationship with the people in this village, what if he has to dig a hole in the mountain later?
"I've really met a noble person today, please come here." The village chief was overjoyed, and immediately led Shen Ruyi and others to his house.
Shen Ru and his entourage are all women, the carriage is driven by Cui Xi, the things are carried by An Qiao and Yaoyao, and Wu Ya's appearance of not entering the living, walking in the village, is undoubtedly the object of everyone's attention.
"Mrs. Xiao, the people in our village have been farming for generations. I don't know if Mrs. Xiao has a high opinion that can make the people of our village have more ways! ”
On the way, the village chief specially took Shen Ruduo around a few times and took a full view of the entire village.
"Village chief, I really want to help, but I can't think of anything right now!" Shen Ru said with a smile, "But I will definitely consider your village first, the people in your village are very good." And if I start working on that hill in the future, I will definitely ask the people of your village to do it. ”
"Mrs. Xiao is really ...... Cheerful people, come on, it's my house in front! ”
There was a low house in front, and in the yard, a young man was chopping wood, and when he saw that the village chief had brought someone over, he immediately stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his body, and came forward.
"Dad, is this Mrs. Thorn?" When Yao Shugen, the son of the village chief, saw Shen Ru and his party, his eyes were a little fluttering, he didn't know who to look at, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"My son Yao Shugen farms in the village on weekdays, and my family has three acres of land, which can be regarded as being able to support the family."
"Mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao is here!" The village chief shouted at the top of his voice.
"It's coming, it's coming!" As the voice came, a middle-aged woman of medium size and dark skin trotted out, and when she saw Shen Ru and them, she was also a little cramped, and in the end she could only grin and giggle.
"Mrs. Xiao, please come in, the countryside is crowded, Lao Yao can invite you to the house, I ...... I was also very surprised. We're worth the chicken! ”
"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite, just a simple meal." Shen Ru didn't want them to come and eat all the things that people could eat for a month.
When serving the food, Shen Ru also saw the village chief's daughter-in-law, a young woman who looked simple and shy.
At the dinner table, no one else in the village chief's family was on the table, but the village chief accompanied him, and he didn't move his chopsticks much, but the way he watched the dishes turn around and swallow made Shen Ru feel embarrassed to eat!
"Village Chief, is it really difficult in the village?" Shen Ru simply asked, not only the village chief, but even the village chief's son was secretly swallowing saliva.
"These meals shouldn't be your rations for several days."
"It's not days, it's ...... It's a month. The village chief sighed, "Mrs. Xiao, in fact, as I said, our village is poor, my family has three acres of land, and I can only eat the things I grow." ”
"I heard that Mrs. Xiao is very capable, others can't grow cotton well, your Zhuangzi can grow it well, look at our village, can you also grow cotton? Or, is there any way for us to plant the millet without so many empty buds. ”
Looking at the earnest eyes of the village chief, Shen Ru couldn't even get off the chopsticks.
"Village chief, your problem is a problem that the people of Liangzhou have." Shen Ru said patiently, "I don't have much ability, mainly because the agricultural officer is good at field seeds or something." ”
"The land in your village is also very good for growing rice, so let's go back and ask the agricultural officer to come to your village to see, your harvest is not good, is it a problem of the grain, or a problem of the field."
"That'...... That's fine. "The village chief didn't get the answer he expected, and he was a little disappointed." Mrs. Xiao, I'll disturb you to eat too, I'll go to the kitchen first! ”
"Madam, aren't they very greedy!" An Qiao couldn't help but say, "I'm embarrassed to eat this!" ”
"But no, this chicken, or an old hen, I'm afraid it is raised to lay eggs, which is also a piece of the hearts of the villagers." Shen Ru sighed and said, "According to the restaurant's calculation, this table, look at it and give some money." ”
"Yes, Miss." Cui Xi should be down.
"It's better than steamed buns." Wu Ya took a few bites of wild vegetables, ate chicken, and said this coldly.
"What, who told you to nibble on steamed buns?" Shen Ru couldn't help laughing and said, Wu Ya is rich, and her career as a killer has made her a lot of money.
"Madam, there's something I don't know whether to talk about or not." An Qiao hesitated, "Aren't you not in the Assassin's Mansion these days?" The small kitchen in our backyard doesn't turn on the fire. ”
"I don't know if I forgot, twice in a row, we went to the kitchen at noon to serve no food, only steamed buns."
Shen Ru was stunned, this matter ...... Sounds weird.
"Madam, you said that the Assassin Mansion has always been bitter, perhaps, they are so provincial." Cui Xi didn't want Shen Ru to go back to embarrass the people in the kitchen, so she excused herself.
The food of the village chief's house, in addition to a pot of chicken soup, tofu, and a few plates of wild vegetables, could it be that when she was not there, the Thorn Mansion could not even have this level? Shen Ru frowned.
"When I'm not there, won't Xiao Lang eat it?" Shen Ru couldn't help asking.
"Madam, when you are not there, Lord Xiao eats in the study, and the people in the kitchen will bring the food over." An Qiaoke inquired, "I just think they're targeting us." ”
