22 And he gave me two thousand pounds of horses' hooves

The lieutenant looked at Lin Qianqian who was smiling and decided to make the first move.

So he began to cry poorly: "Big girl, your second grandfather is old, and his body is not as good as before, and now that the weather is cold, he has to grab some medicine from time to time." Medicine is expensive these days, and I already owe Xu Lao'er dozens of copper plates. ”

"When people are older, they do have to pay attention." Lin Qianqian echoed, "However, you are the mayor, and you still have to take care of the things that should be taken care of in the village." ”

"Tube, tube, I'm sure it's tube! You just say your father, I have no father when I am ten years old, I am his uncle, I have to take care of his affairs, so I paid for him to marry a daughter-in-law, you see, I still gave you a few small names. ”

The chief talked about the past in a rambling manner, and he looked nostalgic, but in fact, his eyes were secretly looking at Lin Qianqian's expression.

He said this completely to move the big girl, let the big girl think of his good, don't ask him to borrow money!

He didn't have much money privately.

Lin Qianqian nodded frequently.

What the governor said is indeed the truth.

He is Daddy Lin's own uncle, and after Mrs. Lin remarried and brought her son Lin Shanze to get married, Mrs. Lin separated Daddy Lin.

Father Lin got the worst field and a vacant land where he could build a house, and there was not a single thatched house.

It was the chief who took his family to help build a thatched house, and a few years later, he paid to help marry Aunt Lin, otherwise there would be one more Daddy Lin in the village.

In the past few years, Father Lin and Aunt Lin have only known farming because of their dull temperament, but the children in the family have jumped out one after another, and the family's livelihood has become a problem.

Li Chang helped a lot in the dark.

Lin Qianqian knew that the chief was good, and the matter of the horse's hooves would be communicated with the chief.

The lieutenant talked endlessly about the past, and his mouth was dry.

Lin Qianqian had been listening patiently from the side, but Lin Ming couldn't sit still early in the morning, so he went to find Lin Mingle to play.

The chief looked at the forest sitting in front of the pine, and the bitterness in his heart was about to rise to his throat.

He thought that he was talking about the past, and Lin Qianqian was either not moved to open his mouth to borrow money from him, or he turned around and left impatiently.

But who knows, Lin Qianqian listened to it with a delicious taste, and looked like he was happy in it.

Li Chang sighed, quickly stood up, turned around and drilled into the house.

"Big girl, it's getting dark, the second grandfather won't send you, you should go home quickly."

"Second grandpa wait!" Lin Qianqian hurriedly stopped him.

Here it comes! Here it comes!

The big girl is finally going to borrow money!

The captain quickened his pace!

He rushed back to the house with a brisk walk and beckoned to his grandson Lin Mingle, "Mingle, send your ex-sister back." ”

Lin Mingle and Lin Mingming were digging a spinning top, and they were having fun at this time, completely ignoring what their grandfather said, so they were so angry that they took a few more puffs of cigarettes.

Lin Qianqian followed and walked into the house.

Seeing Lin Qianqian's attitude so arrogantly entangled, the chief complained bitterly in his heart.

He sat on the small bench in the hall, groped in the innermost layer of his clothes for a long time, and finally took out two pennies and handed them to Lin Qianqian.

"Big girl, there are many people in the second grandfather's family, a few mouths are waiting for dinner, your brother Ming'an is still studying in the city, the second grandfather's family really has no money, these two dollars, you take it to change a little noodles, and your family can eat half full."

Lin Qianqian smiled and shook his head, "Second grandfather, I don't want your money." ”

"Huh? Don't want money? So what do you want? The chief was shocked!

The big girl doesn't even want money, and she must be planning something more valuable.

"I want a word from you!" Lin Qian moved a bench and sat next to the chief.

"What words? Tell me first, and I'll do as much as I can if I can. The lieutenant forcibly calmed down.

"I found something in the mountains, edible, and a lot of it." Lin Qianqian said, and took out a few horses' hooves, some with skin and some without skin.

She put the horses' hooves in the hands of the lieutenant chief, pointed to them and said, "This is skinned, this is peeled, second grandfather, you taste it." ”

The lieutenant chief was shocked to look at the horse's hooves in his hand, and did not dare to move for a while.

Lin Mingming, who was playing on the side, said loudly: "Second grandfather, this thing is sweet, you can taste it." ”

He mischievously grabbed one and threw it into the lieutenant's mouth.

Sato chewed instinctively, and his expression changed from confusion to surprise!

Lin Mingle saw that his grandfather was eating deliciously, and immediately took one and ate it.

He swallowed the horseshoe in two bites, and he almost choked because he swallowed so quickly.

He burst out in surprise: "Wow! It's delicious, like a pear on the mountain, sweeter than a pear. ”

The lieutenant couldn't help but pick up another one and ate it, and after the two horses' hooves went down, he trembled his lips and asked, "Big girl, you said that there is still this thing on the mountain?" And many more? ”

Lin Qianqian smiled and nodded.

"How do you eat this?" The lieutenant asked.

Lin Qianqian talked about several ways to eat water chestnuts, boiled, boiled, stewed, and ground into flour to be used as flour.

The lieutenant was surprised to hear this, and nodded frequently.

At the end, he sighed loudly: "God treats us in Quxi Village very well, seeing that every household is short of food, this is to send food to everyone." ”

Lin Qianqian said his purpose: "Second grandfather, I tell you this news, I just hope that you can take everyone to dig up the horse's hooves before the snow." ”

The lieutenant took Lin Qianqian's hand excitedly, "Big girl, you have grown up and become sensible, and you will think about the people in the village." ”

Lin Qianqian coughed uncomfortably, "Second grandfather, I'll take you to see that place tomorrow, it's okay if you arrange for everyone to dig it, but I have one condition." ”

"You say."

"Although this thing was not planted by my family, but it was discovered by my family, my family doesn't need to tell you, but I know that everyone has no food, and I don't know how to harvest in the autumn, and I don't want everyone to go hungry, so I want everyone to dig together, and everyone can be full." Although Lin Qianqian was a little weak-hearted, what he said was a great righteousness.

"Exactly, exactly." The lieutenant nodded again and again, with an appreciative look on his face.

"Second grandfather, you also know the situation of my family, there is little land and many people, and it is difficult to fill your stomach in a good year, let alone the drought this year. I think so, don't you think so? Everyone worked together to dig out the horse's hooves and give me two thousand catties. Although Lin Qianqian said that he was discussing, the words he said were loud and clear, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Two thousand pounds! This ....." Li Chang's eyes were about to pop out, and he hesitated, not because he was reluctant to give Lin Daniu's family so many horseshoe, but because he was afraid that other people in the village would not agree.

"Second grandfather, that piece of horseshoe is estimated to be able to dig out more than 50,000 catties, and give my family 2,000 catties, so that there are still 50,000 catties left, and there are 100 families in the village in addition to my family, and each household can also get 500 catties." Lin Qianqian calculated the distribution clearly.

The lieutenant chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed.

Each family has 500 catties, at least it can resist for a while.

If tomorrow's prayer for rain succeeds, and the crops in the field can be harvested smoothly, then this year will be over, at least no one will starve to death.
