Chapter 160 What’s going on?
Without hesitation, Diao poured the last spoonful of Maoxuewang into Mr. Qi's bowl.
The old man sucked his chopsticks and didn't refuse.
Because it is made for children, the ingredients are reduced. The red base oil looks spicy and tastes delicious.
The duck blood is tender and smooth, the duck meat is firm, and the noodles soaked in the soup are moderately salty and fragrant.
In this age of lack of flavor, it is a rare delicacy that instantly conquered everyone, young and old.
The two groups of children are clearly divided.
Yi Bo imitated Mr. Qi, squatting under the eaves, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Yi Bo stood stupidly in the middle of the yard until the fragrance wafted into his nose. His misty eyes finally seemed to find focus. He carefully picked up a chopstick, put it in his mouth, and then chewed with a dull expression, and chewed again... until he buried his little face in the bowl.
Suddenly, a sobbing sound was heard in the yard.
When they were rescued from the most desperate moment in the woods, they showed no emotion; when they dragged their crippled bodies into Liuren City and were mercilessly stared at, their eyes were glazed over; when they endured severe pain to receive treatment and felt the rare kindness in the world, they were at a loss...
Only at this moment, ripples quietly appeared in my heart, which was as stagnant as a pool of water.
The Maoxuewang that the fairy sister mentioned, turns out to taste like this... After having this meal, I realized that all my previous lives were in vain, and I couldn't help but look forward to it.
Seeing this, Chen Chunxing turned his head and asked Diao with a smile: "Grandma, how about we have pickled fish tomorrow?"
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of hopeful eyes, what else could Diao say?
"Whoever wants to eat fish should catch it himself!"
She deliberately put on a stern face, but it did not scare off the children's enthusiasm. They called out to her one by one, "Grandma Chen" and "Leave it to me", which melted their hearts.
Even the disabled children had more lively expressions on their faces. They clumsily washed the empty bowls and lined up to put them into the food boxes brought by the Shen family.
They also want to try what pickled fish tastes like...
Life is nothing more than a dream. Only with pursuit can we have the motivation to live.
Mr. Qi finished the meat in the bowl first, then sipped the wild vegetable soup in small sips. After finishing one bowl, he poured another bowl. Only then did he wipe his mouth contentedly, and his hand unconsciously fumbled to write the word "desire" on the bottom of the bowl.
The eight sufferings of life only exist in the present moment.
Whether it is the desire for food or the temptation of money, the truth is that you must stay alive.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family understands people's hearts very thoroughly.
Thinking of his own situation, Mr. Qi proudly poured himself another bowl of wild vegetable soup.
With such a person in the village, there will be good days ahead.
——
There is a river at the foot of the back mountain. It was frozen in winter, but now it has melted, and it is the time when there are many fish.
Among these children, the oldest is only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is not even as tall as Chen Yandong. The adults would not feel at ease if they were allowed to go to the river alone, even if there were a large number of them.
So.
Diao entrusted Chen Chunxing with an important task and asked her to take the children to the river to fish.
In the old lady’s opinion, as long as her granddaughter is by her side, the dead person will live a few more years even if he is fished out of the river!
The school was simple and the whole yard looked empty.
Chen Chunxing looked around but couldn't find any suitable utensils, so he had to carry his own wooden barrel used to store vegetables.
Before leaving, she nags Diao, "Give Mr. Qi two months' wages first. I don't want to eat fish in a foot basin."
The old man pointed awkwardly into the room and said, "Isn't there a washbasin over there?"
Chen Chunxing didn't even look at it, and he's not much of a face at all!
"If the school needs anything, please write a list and give it to Sister Wu Min. I will go to the county town to purchase it when I have time. As the saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education... Besides, we will become richer and richer in the future." She waved her hand with a smile and led Luobotou out of the yard.
Diao tutted from behind, "You tell me!"
Everyone supports setting up a school in the village. She has never heard of her granddaughter's "poor education", but there is an old saying that is well known to everyone!
All things are inferior, only reading is superior.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.
Merchants have always been of the lowest status. Even if they make a lot of money, it is useless if they cannot protect it!
If you want to stand out, bring honor to your family, and truly make a name for yourself in the North, the village must have a few scholars!
Why was the Shen family taken care of along the way, to the point where they were able to quickly win over the hearts of the people after arriving in the narrow village?
A big reason is Xue Yongan’s identity as a county magistrate.
Diao's mind was as clear as a mirror.
As long as there is the huge mountain of the imperial court pressing down on their heads, no one dares to play tricks.
——
The group came in a huge procession.
If the school itself was not located at the end of the village, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
From a distance, they saw many people gathered by the river, including Xue Yongan and his companions.
"What happened?" Chen Chun walked over, looked around, and his gaze froze slightly.
There were traces of riverbanks flowing over the riverbed, and where the water flowed toward the hill, there was flickering light, and the exposed stones on the ground were dark and shiny, making it impossible to look away.
"Someone came here to open up wasteland and accidentally dug up ore." Xue Yongan's expression was indifferent and his tone was ambiguous.
"..." Chen Chunxing clapped his hands exaggeratedly, "Which bastard is so creative as to come here and open up new land?"
Old Song had said before that if you want to mine, you have to open the mountain first and then fill the river...but it turns out that they just dug it out with a shovel. Isn't this an embarrassment to him?
"These people now know that there is a mine here." Xue Yongan pointed towards the river and emphasized on someone.
Chen Chunxing squinted his eyes and looked at him, and soon recognized that this man was the bandit representative who always negotiated with his side.
now.
The man was squatting beside some ore and wailing, "I thought I'd find peace and quiet here, but why can't I get around this?"
In the eyes of the bandits, that was not a mine, but a deadly poison that could penetrate the intestines and take people's lives!
Previously, the Nine Peaks and Eighteen Villages were involved in internal strife for the ore, and now seeing this thing, all the bandits in Ganshan looked bitter.
"I told you the feng shui at the head of the village was better, but you insisted on coming to the tail! Now look what I've found! I actually dug up a treasure for you!"
"Take it away! Take it away now! Our girl should pretend she has never seen this thing!"
"That's easy for you to say! The thing is right there. We can pretend we didn't see it for now. But if word gets out, I'm afraid the whole village will be in turmoil!"
The two men wrestled with each other on the spot, throwing punches at each other, and they were really fighting.
The others just watched coldly, with no intention of dissuading them.
"In that case, we have no choice but to dig it out first! After all, this place is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. With Lord Xue here, there won't be any major chaos, right?"
The two men were cursing each other, but suddenly stopped and discussed with concern.
This statement received responses from everyone, some said it was good, some said it was bad, and some even cursed!
The leading man squatted for a long time, stood up with trembling legs, rubbed his hands and walked up to the few people.
"Miss Shen, what do you think?"
“…”
Chen Chunxing laughed.
The only thing in my mind was, please reimburse me for the front row movie tickets.
The show is too fake!
