After nightfall, the huge fireworks that rise all over the capital will reflect the whole sky in a colorful way, the air is filled with the smell of sulfur, a bunch of fireworks rise, and then "bang" a bang, tens of thousands of people in the city, stop to watch, their faces are full of smiles.

Of course, this is the situation in the capital, and the huge snowstorm a year ago did not affect the nobles in the city to celebrate the festival.

They can't see the lives of the people affected outside the city, and they don't care.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is not false at all.

However, this year was different, and the affected areas outside the city quickly became lively at night. A huge bonfire was lit in the makeshift square, and orange flames were reflected on the faces of every victim.

Unlike the despair and helplessness of a month ago.

Tonight, no matter the old or the young, or the women and children, there are heartfelt smiles on their faces.

Tonight, there will be a bonfire New Year's party here, and the imperial court will bring a lot of food and wine.

When the wine was deep, some men held hands and danced around the campfire, singing unintelligible tunes in their mouths.

Approaching midnight, Qin Xiangru, who was flushed with a red face and could not walk steadily, walked towards the temporarily built high platform.

He wanted to make a speech in front of tens of thousands of disaster victims, and this candidate should have been Chen Chao, but Chen Chao refused to take the stage on the grounds that "I am a traitor, and the people will be disappointed when they see me", and left this opportunity to Qin Xiangru.

It's a great time to show your face, and it's a good thing.

Qin Xiangru had just taken the stage, and before he could speak, the audience heard warm applause and whistles from the victims.

The victims of the disaster knew this big fat man of more than 200 pounds, and I heard that he was a big official.

The reason why they are well fed, warmly clothed, and paid for their wages is all due to this big fat man.

He's a good officer!

The victims are very simple-minded, as long as they don't oppress them, give them hope to live, and usually give them a small favor, they will be grateful to Dade.

Qin Xiangru stood on the stage and waved his hand to the stage, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

Looking at the faces of the victims, Qin Xiangru had mixed feelings.

He opened his mouth, and his voice squeezed out of his throat, "Fathers and fellow villagers, this official is Hubu Shangshu, Qin Xiangru, the chief official of disaster relief this time, this Chinese New Year's Eve, farewell to the old and welcome the new, is a happy day." ”

"Here, I would like to greet you all for a New Year, Happy New Year!"

The crowd let out exclamations, jumping and raising their hands happily.

"Today, there is enough to eat and drink, enough wine and meat, and all things are paid for by the official, and all the fathers and villagers eat and drink well. Before that, there is another important news to announce. ”

"As you know, this disaster is serious, and the disaster relief methods are different from previous years, and the facts have proved that our officials have made a very correct choice, since the implementation of the new disaster relief methods, not a single victim has been frozen to death, starved to death, and no one has made trouble, and the situation is developing in a better direction."

"All of this is thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, and I hope that this situation will continue until the disaster is over!"

"Daji has not been peaceful in recent years, droughts, floods, plagues, and this year's snowstorm, God is testing us, God doesn't want us to live, you think about it carefully, what have we lost over the years?"

"Father? Mother? Husband or wife? Or is it a child? ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent, and these words aroused the pain in their hearts.

"But difficulties will never defeat us, we have survived, life will get better day by day, rebuilding the homeland is imminent, this official needs everyone to work together, and work hard, even if it is a brick and tile, a grass and a tree."

"During this period, the official will provide rich food and good rewards!"

"Fathers and fellow villagers, please tell this official, are you willing to endure cold and starvation, and live with a pitiful amount of relief food? Or are you willing to roll up your sleeves and build a new home together? ”

"Rebuild your home! Rebuild your home! ”

"Rebuilding ......"

Everyone spoke in unison, wave after wave, seeing that the atmosphere was high, Qin Xiangru picked up the coarse porcelain bowl, and there was wine inside.

This bowl of wine.

To the people!

To the people who fight for their lives!

……

Next to a low wall sheltered from the wind.

There was a fire burning at his feet, and the people who were roasting were warm, and Chen Chao took Song Qingwan to sit on a big stone and listen to Qin Xiangru's speech on the stage.

"Xiangye, Qin Shangshu is really good at speaking."

Chen Chao tilted his head and looked at the beauties beside him, "Yes......"

"Xiangye, what are you doing looking at the slave family like this?"

"Beautiful."

"Xiangye is not serious......"

"Between husband and wife, what's the use of being serious?"

Chen Chao chuckled lightly and began to prepare to move again. provoked Song Qingwan to subconsciously get up and run away, but Chen Chao grabbed her wrist, dragged her back, and snuggled in her arms.

"Ah, big brother, you're here, it's easy for me to find it." Just as the two of them were talking to each other, a voice suddenly came.

Chen Chao looked up and found that it was Wang Xiaoer, who he had seen in the morning, and there were a few people around him, a mediocre peasant woman, with big hands and feet, who should be his wife who often talked about him, and two children, a boy and a girl, were his son and daughter.

With the sudden arrival of outsiders, Song Qingwan hurriedly broke free from Chen Chao's arms and lowered her head to tidy up her dress.

"This is the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law." Wang Xiaoer greeted warmly.

Song Qingwan was a little uncomfortable, slightly blessed, and seemed to forget that she was the prime minister's wife.

"Big brother, this is my inner brother and my two children, Wen'er and Wu'er, who have come to see my uncle."

Wang Xiaoer is also a winner in life, he has children and daughters, his daughter is called Wang Wen, the little girl is very cute, with two little trolls on her head, and her son is called Wang Wu, who is a tiger-headed boy.

"Uncle...... Happy New Year. The two children looked at Chen Chao and bent down to salute.

Chen Chao reached out and touched it from his arms for a while, took out a few copper coins, and put them in the palms of the two children's hands as New Year's money, "Happy New Year." ”

The two children were grinning, their eyes wide, and they ran to hand over the New Year's money to their mother.

Not long after, Song Qingwan and Wang Xiaoer's insiders talked about whispering between women, and the two children also ran away, Wang Xiaoer touched his head and sat down beside Chen Chao.

"Big brother, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful, even more beautiful than Oiran."

"Yo? Have you ever seen an Oiran? ”

"Listen to what other people say."

“……”

"What's the use of being pretty? Big brother is not blessed with you, you look at big brother and me, how many years older than you, and now you have no children and no daughters under your knees, you are different, you have both children and daughters. ”

Chen Chao laughed at himself, very envious.

Wang Xiaoer didn't know what to say, this man who usually doesn't talk a lot is just restrained. He looked at Chen Chao beside him, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Say whatever you have? ”

Wang Xiaoer swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to say, "Big brother, I heard that your identity is not ordinary, and you are also an official, older than him!" ”

Wang Xiaoer stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Xiangru, who was spitting on the stage.

"They once saw that Hubu Shangshu, nodding in front of you, big brother, who is the big brother?"

Chen Chao touched his nose, "What?" If I'm really a big official, I'm not your big brother? ”

Wang Xiaoer hurriedly shook his head, "That's not, the eldest brother will always be my eldest brother." ”

Chen Chao smiled knowingly and patted Wang Xiaoer's shoulder, "Your eldest brother and I are indeed a big official." They all call me a traitor? ”

"Adulterous?" Wang Xiaoer thought for a while, "...... Chen, no, no, no, His Majesty's father? Prime Minister? ”

"That's right." Chen Chao smiled and looked at the lively crowd.

Feeling that Wang Xiaoer's body beside him was trembling slightly, he was afraid.

Chen Chao took the initiative to speak, "Little Er, don't have so much pressure, big brother, I am also a human being, a living person, a person who is said to be a bad person to build walls......"
