Chen Xian looked worried: "I hope I'm overthinking it. I'll leave as soon as there's any sign of trouble... No matter what disaster it is, the first to die are the civilian cannon fodder. No one can escape it; it's just a matter of when they'll be crushed."
In war, warlords and political parties want the lives of the poor.
Peace is what the wealthy and powerful want – the wealth of the poor.
It seems that it is always the poor who suffer and are impoverished.
Chen Xian then said to Uncle Fu, "Donate masks, quicklime, medicine, and food, etc., and deduct it from my share of the profits. Consider it as me giving those people a little bit of insignificant help."
Uncle Fu nodded: "Then I'll contribute some too. Sigh, let's hope it's all for nothing?"
...
Chen Xian returned to the village.
A group of women had already gathered around the big locust tree at the village entrance.
Sister-in-law Guihua asked curiously, "Oh my, what did Dazhu's father buy from the city? So much of it!"
The other women laughed and chimed in, "No wonder he's the first person in our village to start a business, he's really rich."
Chen Xian nodded slightly in response.
"father!"
Several children gathered around and started yelling at Chen Xian.
Yang Xiaoshu pursed his lips slightly, "Uncle, I checked the pigs you bought from the city, and they're all fine and very healthy."
Chen Xian nodded: "Put more effort into it."
Then Chen Xian had them unload the items.
He went directly to Chen Qingshan's house.
"Uncle Gui, Qingshan!"
The old lady came out of the house and saw Chen Xian dressed in a silk shirt. She was a little hesitant to recognize him and said with a smile, "The two of them went up the mountain to pick wild apricots. The boy at home was clamoring to eat them. Those things are so sour they make your teeth fall out. I don't know what's so good about these."
We dried a lot of wild vegetables at home.
In one corner of the yard, several large, fat hens were kept, pecking at the ground here and there from time to time.
puff!
Every now and then, it would pass a runny, yellow poop.
"go!"
The old woman slammed a wooden stick on the ground, chasing away several chickens.
Muttering to herself, "They're growing too fast. The outer fence needs to be reinforced. I'll have to trim their wings later..."
"Chen Xian is here..."
As Chen Xian's reputation grew, they realized that this seemingly ordinary man was ultimately quite different from before.
and.
Chen Qingshan, who recently went to purchase grain, already knew about Instructor Xu's matter.
Instructor Xu was reprimanded by his superiors for plagiarizing Chen Xian's work!
It was obvious that Chen Xian and Manager Fu had set a trap, and that guy was desperately walking into it.
Go all the way through.
Fame and official rank, all gone.
Facing the smiling Chen Xian, the man gave a dry laugh.
Calling him Brother Xian is too frivolous; calling him Chen Xian is too formal; calling him Da Zhu's father is too silly.
Chen Xian seemed to realize the problem and smiled, "Qingshan, call me Fusheng. That's my courtesy name."
Chen Qingshan was slightly taken aback. After all, he had attended a private school for a year and a half, and later, when he had nothing to do, he would occasionally read his son Xiwa's books.
I can at least barely understand the meaning of "floating life".
Chen Xian, courtesy name Fusheng.
Hmm, not bad.
Chen Gui asked in confusion, "Is something wrong with Fusheng?"
Chen Xian: "When I returned from the city, I noticed that the price of medicinal herbs in the city has been rising; and a small number of refugees have begun to come from the south to the north... The drought in May is not only here, but also in other places. I am worried that the gathering of refugees will cause a plague."
Uncle Gui, during the meeting, we suggested that people go to town to buy herbs, or go to the mountains to dig up honeysuckle, forsythia, scutellaria, etc..."
Chen Qingshan hesitated and said, "Is that really possible? We're just a village. Even if there's a plague, it shouldn't spread to us, right?"
Chen Gui nodded: "It's better to be prepared. Go and inform everyone to come to the meeting."
Not long after, under the big locust tree at the village entrance.
Chen Qingshan said calmly, "Recently, many people in the city have fallen ill with fevers. Everyone should go to the town to buy medicine in advance, or go to the mountains to prepare more. Prepare more grain, rapeseed oil, and other supplies."
Some people are wondering, "What's going on?"
Chen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "It's better to be prepared. Who knows what might happen in the future?"
Meeting adjourned!
The crowd murmured amongst themselves.
Chen Gui shook his head: "Let's leave it at that for now. Nobody knows what might happen in the future."
Chen Xian: "Qingshan, go find Young Master Wenhao and ask him if, besides teaching the kids martial arts, he can organize all the strong men in the village to teach them martial arts."
Chen Gui: "Hmm?"
Chen Xian said in a low voice, "We also need to build more barricades and caltrops... and we also need to arrange a group of men to patrol the village for twelve hours a day."
"This is?"
Chen Qingshan calmly asked, "Father, should we notify the neighboring village?"
Chen Gui: "Go ahead, notify Hongye Village and Chating Village, as well as Shitou Village. Whether or not to make preparations is their own choice."
"Respect other people's fate, and don't listen to them. We're not even sure if they'll come."
Chen Xian returned home.
I took a tour of the pig farm.
The piglets were very excited.
I didn't buy too many this time, just over fifty.
The chickens at the farm are growing very fast, some weighing a pound or two.
Chen Xian caught four.
Cuihua smiled gently: "Father, what is this?"
"Make hamburgers."
"What's the meaning?"
San Niu and Si Niu returned from school and asked in surprise, "Are chicks really that cute?"
The next sentence: "Compared to this, isn't it even tastier than chicken stewed in an iron pot?"
Chen Xian smiled, patted the little girl's head, and nodded gently.
"Maybe."
