Chapter 580: Courtiers are worse than peasants
Everyone hugged the little darling and rubbed her little face.
Some wiped their tears, some laughed, and almost pinched her into a small dough.
"Oh, that's enough." The village chief finally wiped his eyes and patted the old Li's hand, "We won't cry on a good day. Look at your rough hands. Don't pinch my darling's face. Put it down quickly."
The little glutinous baby's white face was slightly red, but she was very happy in her heart.
She waved her chubby little hands, hugged the adults, and was still acting coquettishly.
At this time, Fenghu and others also ran over, hugged a few villagers, and greeted them with surprise and joy.
"Uncle village chief, you guys are here, why didn't you send us a message in advance, so we can pick you up outside the city." Feng Hu was so excited that his face turned red.
Feng Miao was like a little monkey, jumping up and down with joy, "We were still talking about the village a few days ago. By the way, Grandpa village chief, Aunt Tianmei, where is Wangfu? Did he come with us?"
The village chief hugged the little fat girl and smiled, "Don't mention him. In order to come with us to the capital, the little rascal kept pulling my pants on the day of departure, and his voice was hoarse from crying, but I beat him back."
"It's not that I didn't bring him, but Mr. Zhang specially invited Dean Wei and several teachers to come to our village school to teach writing during the winter break of other academies for the sake of the children in the village. They are all the best teachers in the city, so we can't let him fall behind." Yang Tianmei explained.
Little Fengmiao was a little disappointed that he didn't have a playmate, but he became happy when he heard that the school was getting better and better.
At this time, Feng saw that the wind was blowing outside again, and hurriedly called everyone into the house.
"Now that we are together, we can talk slowly about anything. Don't be in a hurry. Let's go inside first."
After slapping the walnuts with two slaps, Madam Zheng wiped her hands and went to serve tea and snacks. Fenghu and his friends
didn't know why the village chief and his party came to Beijing. They just thought they were here to see them and asked how many days they could stay this time.
After saying a few words, the village chief slapped his forehead and asked hurriedly, "You were just chatting. By the way, we went to Beijing to deliver food. Isn't there a serious food shortage in Beijing? Does your family have enough rice and flour? We have delivered seven or eight thousand kilograms, enough to feed half of the people in the city for several days!"
"Yes, when my father heard that there was a food shortage in Beijing, he was so anxious that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He was worried that your family couldn't buy rice and flour, and that the people in Beijing were hungry. He thought that we had plenty of food in Yuncheng anyway, so he bought so much and asked us to come with him to deliver food." Yang Tianmei said, taking a sip of hot tea.
When they thought of the village chief and his men, who couldn't sleep day and night for them and who had to carry food on the road with great difficulty,
Feng and Li Qiqiao's eyes became hot again, and tears rolled down their cheeks, almost falling on their feet.
"What food shortage? In fact, it was the grain merchants who raised the prices unethically before, trying to make a fortune from the national disaster. However, they have been dealt with by the imperial master, and now there is no shortage of food in the capital." Jiang Fengnian was afraid that they would worry, so he explained quickly.
The village chief and his men were worried, but when they heard that it was just a false alarm, they were relieved.
"That's good, that's good! Otherwise, if there was a real food shortage, how many people would be hungry? We wish it was fake." Old Li also laughed with broken teeth.
Seeing his mother and second sister-in-law were moved to tears, Xiao Nuobao quickly pulled up his sleeves and climbed onto their legs to wipe their tears one by one.
Everyone must have shed so much "cat urine" today that if they had a basin to collect it, they could collect a basket of tears.
Soon, everyone talked about many things in the village.
After not seeing each other for so long, the Jiang family was very curious about how the villagers were doing.
The village chief was full of pride, talking about the expansion of the village school and the use of carved desks.
Two families had new children, and several families had renovated their houses.
It was just that Mrs. Liu's family was not doing well.
"Jujiao was helping out at Xianquan a while ago, and she fell in love with an old man. The man was quite old, not much younger than me, but because a distant relative of hers was a high-ranking official, Jujiao was fascinated by him and wanted to marry him, saying that she wanted to be a noble lady." The village chief sighed several times when he spoke.
Originally, Liu Pozi was going to come with them.
But after this happened, she couldn't leave, so she could only wipe her tears at home and reluctantly marry her daughter.
Feng didn't know what to say. Everyone has their own destiny. Jujiao was just that kind of person. Liu Pozi couldn't do anything about her, and outsiders couldn't intervene.
At this time, Yang Tianmei and Gu Gu Gu saw Sun Chunxue's belly and knew that the Jiang family was going to have a new child, so the atmosphere became better and they were happy to ask her how many months she was pregnant.
Sun Chunxue blushed and smiled, "It's more than four months. It was Nuobao who saw it first and called the doctor to check my pulse. Otherwise, I wouldn't know it at that time."
Yang Tianmei looked envious, "It's good to be pregnant. I don't know when I can have this blessing and have another child. It's best to have a maiden, so that Xiao Wangfu doesn't rely on him being the only one in the family and makes trouble all day long to annoy me."
Feng was so happy that she simply pushed Xiao Pangya to help Aunt Tianmei calculate when she could have another little brother or sister.
Little Nuobao rolled around in everyone's arms. He had just helped his mother wipe her tears, and now he had to act as a "Guanyin who delivers children", so he had to pinch his fingers and pretend to calculate.
Everyone continued to talk and laugh.
This time, it goes without saying that the Jiang family must keep the villagers and stay for a while.
At this time, Old Li saw Doctor Wu hanging around the door, and suddenly thought of something. He touched his mouth full of broken teeth and rushed out.
"You old man, you said you would give me dentures? I've been waiting for you so hard!"
He watched the two old men chasing and fighting outside the door.
Everyone in the room laughed out loud, and Xiao Nuobao was so happy that he raised his feet above his head and almost fell over. The long-lost happiness in the village came back again...
Soon
, the news of the villagers sending food also reached the palace.
Mu Yihan was deeply moved when he learned that the village chief brought seven or eight thousand grains from a long distance just to relieve the food shortage in the city.
Pei Lao and others have an annual salary of over a thousand, but they only know how to make money from the country's disasters.
And a few country people, who have just become more affluent, are already worrying about the country, and even spending their own hard-earned money. What a difference between humans and animals.
"It's really amazing that ordinary people are willing to spend their own money to buy so much food, and especially send it to us." Wu Que exclaimed in amazement while holding a big fat orange.
Mu Yihan's tone was moving. "Officials have no regard for the country or the people, but farmers care about the world. We should reward them for having such broad minds!"
