Xiao's mother showed the silver to them. The officers and soldiers were sure that their family was not ordinary refugees, so they agreed to let them pass.
The household registration document was also checked very carefully and matched one by one, but it didn't work when it came to Madam Song and her daughter.
"Where are your household registration documents? You're not being denied entry!"
These officers and soldiers are very impartial and only follow the rules.
At this time, Mother Xiao had an idea and said:
"Sir, this is what happened. She is the second wife my eldest son was going to marry, but the disaster came suddenly. The wedding banquet was held, but the transfer documents were not moved in time. Later, the house collapsed and we couldn't find it. There is really no way. Can you be flexible? It's not good for our family to be separated, right?"
When Xiao's mother made up this excuse, Madam Song's face turned red, and Xiao Qin was so shocked that he choked on her saliva and started coughing.
His mother is so bold!
Xiao's mother was afraid that he would be exposed, so she pretended to pat him on the back:
"I told you to cover yourself with the quilt at night, but you didn't listen. Now you have caught a cold, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right." Xiao Qin had no choice but to cooperate with his mother's performance.
Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan were also trying to hold back their laughter. To be honest, her mother-in-law was quite good at making up stories. This reason really sounded plausible. Moreover, if you put it this way, Madam Song and the eldest brother were really a good match.
But unfortunately, this officer was rather stubborn. He only followed the rules and didn't care about anything else.
"Don't tell me so much, it's useless. I only look at the household registration documents. If there is nothing, just go to the refugee camp. When you can enter the city in the future, you can take the people back.
Besides, once you settle down in the city, you can go to the government to register your household registration and get it stamped, and then you can enter and leave the city freely. If you are worried, you can come and check on me from time to time."
Although he was stubborn, he also pointed out a clear way forward for the Xiao family.
When everyone heard that they could enter and leave the city freely, it would be easy.
Madam Song couldn't always trouble the Xiao family, so she didn't force it.
"Then I will stay in the refugee camp. You guys go into the city first. We can talk about it later if anything happens. I think this refugee camp is quite peaceful, so nothing should happen."
"That's right. If you encounter injustice or someone bullies you, you can come directly to us. There are soldiers guarding here all the time." The soldier in charge of checking the documents said.
For now, this is all we can do.
So, Xiao's mother took two quilts down from the ox cart and gave her a bag of steamed buns made from two grams of flour, which were made in the morning and there were seven or eight left.
"Here, take this quilt. It's cold now, don't freeze at night. There's some food here, keep some, don't starve yourself and the child."
Xiao's mother still has good intentions and is worried that Madam Song will be wronged in the refugee camp.
Madam Song was so moved that her eyes turned red. She pulled Xiao's mother aside, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and carefully took out the jade bracelet hanging around her neck and gave it to her:
"Aunt, please keep this jade bracelet for me first. When you find a place to live, just tell me where it is so that I can come and find you later. It's not safe for me to wear this bracelet now. I'm afraid it will be lost. I have to trouble you to keep it for me first. This is the only thing my mother left me. Please, aunt!"
Madam Song had no ill intentions, nor did she intend to rely on her family. It was just that this refugee camp was a mixed crowd, and she was afraid that she would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives and her bracelet would be broken or lost.
There is no problem with keeping it, Xiao's mother will not refuse.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you. I'll send you a message when we find a place to stay. Please pay attention to your safety in the refugee camp. We will visit you often."
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao!" Madam Song took a few steps back and knelt down in front of Aunt Xiao again. She wanted to kowtow but was stopped by Aunt Xiao.
"Come on, get up."
Xiao's mother put the bracelet away. Madam Song came back and took her daughter to bow solemnly to the Xiao family. Everything was said in silence.
When they were about to part, Jiang Sui suddenly thought of something. She came to Xiao Hechuan and pulled his sleeve. Xiao Hechuan looked down at her and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
"I remember you seem to have a small dagger, why don't you give it to Madam Song for self-defense?"
Jiang Sui thought that if there was an emergency, it would be helpful for Madam Song to have a weapon to defend herself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hechuan took out the dagger directly, and Jiang Sui secretly handed it to Madam Song, asking her to use it for self-defense.
Madam Song looked at her with gratitude. In this troubled time, she met a family of kind-hearted gods.
Later, Mrs. Song was taken to a refugee camp by officers and soldiers. She lived in a shed with some other women who were also living alone with their children. She chose a corner and spread out her bedding.
The bedding given by the Xiao family was relatively clean. Compared with the dirty bedding of other people, it looked much more comfortable.
The Xiao family was also driving their ox carts and preparing to enter the city.
Just as they were about to enter the city, a horse-drawn carriage came out of the city and stopped at the city gate. The officers and soldiers took the initiative to greet the driver:
"Miss Ye is here to give out porridge again? She is such a kind person."
"Yes, our young lady is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the refugees who are hungry and cold, so she comes every few days!" the driver replied with a smile.
This kind-hearted family named Ye brought many maids and old women, as well as several large bags of food, pots, pans, and other things, and prepared to distribute porridge at the city gate.
The carriage door was opened, and the two coachmen worked together to lift a girl in a wheelchair down. I guess it was Miss Ye.
She looked a little pale, her body was a little thin and frail, and she was pretty, a sick beauty.
Xiao Lanlan sighed at that time:
"It's really unfair that such a kind and beautiful girl is actually a cripple. Sigh..."
Xiao's mother also agreed, thinking that Miss Ye was really nice. Even in her current situation, she still thought about these suffering refugees.
But they didn't notice how gloomy Xiao Hechuan's face was. There was deep hatred in his eyes and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.
Miss Ye covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed, while the officer next to her asked with concern:
"Miss Ye, it's getting cold today, you should remember to put on more clothes!"
In the eyes of these officers and soldiers, Miss Ye is a beautiful and kind person, but unfortunately she was born with disabilities in her legs and cannot walk. Everyone respects her very much.
"Thank you for your concern." Miss Ye replied politely.
The Xiao family happened to be driving a ox cart passing in front of them. Miss Ye still caught sight of Xiao Hechuan in the crowd at a glance. Although only his profile was visible, he was still stunning enough.
Xiao Hechuan also knew that she saw him, but he didn't want to have anything to do with her in this life, nor would he be coerced by anyone again.
