Chapter 33 Lu Family's Porridge
Okay, then all the new and old grudges will be settled tonight.
But this time, just as Ding De opened his mouth to curse, he suddenly saw something thrown out of the window.
Sun screamed in fear: "Be careful."
Ding De quickly stepped back.
Bang!
There was a sound of shattering, and at the same time porcelain fragments flew everywhere. Fortunately, Ding De dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been covered in porcelain.
Then I heard Wang Dafeng standing in front of the window and loudly asked: "Second brother, how does this chamber pot taste?"
It turned out that Wang Dafeng was so angry that she suddenly ran into the bedroom, picked up the chamber pot from under the bed, and threw it out of the window.
This action scared the three members of the Ding family.
Is the old woman so fierce? Isn’t she afraid of smashing Ding De to death?
At this time, Ding De, who heard that it was the chamber pot, also smelled the smell of urine. He stepped back with a spit, thinking about the consequences if he had retreated slowly, he suddenly felt a lingering fear.
Forget it, I can’t afford to offend you.
Sun had no choice but to pull him back into the house: "We have a long way to go."
At the same time, the villagers who were listening to the opera and watching the excitement in their own houses couldn't help laughing. What a Wang Dafeng, he could be so cruel to his own son.
After throwing the chamber pot and yelling that sentence, Wang Dafeng turned around and sneered at the three members of the Ding family: "Okay, it's quiet now. It's getting late, go to bed!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
She wasn't dozing off, she was running away.
Naturally, the three members of the Ding family wouldn't say anything.
However, Xiaodie and her mother continued to make gloves with cloth until very late. They didn't know what time it was, but there was no one on the street.
Wang Dafeng also started snoring.
At this time, Zhang Xiu and his wife asked Xiaodie to go to bed first. They quietly took out the hidden rabbit and went to the kitchen to process it. Then they pickled it with salt and hid it in a jar, and then went upstairs to sleep.
…
The next morning.
Some people got up while it was still dawn and waited for food to be delivered from Mr. Lu's house.
But it was not until the sun was about to rise that we saw two carriages rolling towards us.
There was a coachman and a little girl sitting in each carriage.
There was a huge wooden barrel on the front carriage. There must be porridge in the barrel because people could hear the sound of the porridge shaking.
On the carriage behind, there was a large wooden basin filled with white flour buns. It was a large white patch, making everyone swallow their saliva without caring about their appearance.
Immediately afterwards, the security guard who had taken Village Chief Lai Fu away on horseback yesterday came galloping over on his horse again.
Today he had a big knife on his waist.
What does it mean? It's self-explanatory.
He clasped his fists and said, "You can just call me Guardian Geng. I'm here to distribute food to everyone on behalf of Master Lu. What needs to be done next can only be done after the sun rises, so I'm a little late. I hope you can forgive me.
Also, when we collect food later, I hope everyone will line up and not steal it twice. Otherwise, my knife will not have eyes."
Village Chief Lai Fu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Did you hear what Guardian Geng said?"
“I heard it!”
The villagers agreed in unison.
"Okay, let's line up!" Lai Fu waved his hand, and the villagers who had been holding their bowls rushed forward immediately. In a blink of an eye, it became a mess. It didn't matter what their quality was!
Ding Gui quickly carried his precious daughter onto his shoulders.
Zhang Xiu turned sideways and wanted to help the old woman, but where was she?
I took a quick look and saw that people had already lined up in front.
After a brief period of chaos, the team was finally lined up. Then the little girl sitting in the carriage began to distribute the food. Each person was given a spoonful of porridge and a steamed bun, and no one was allowed to have more than one bite. Everyone was treated fairly.
The villagers of Aozigou finally had a mouthful of hot porridge. Everyone was so happy that tears filled their eyes, as if it were New Year's Day. Some people even secretly hid the steamed buns in their arms, fearing that they didn't know when they would have their next meal.
Seeing that the food had been distributed, Guardian Geng nodded to Village Chief Lai Fu and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled the reins and rode away.
Immediately afterwards, the two carriages drove away one after the other. The coachman and the little girl did not say a word from beginning to end.
Ding Xiaodie thought she might be able to meet Mr. Lu this morning, but she didn't expect that in this era, after donating so much food, only a security guard came out to take charge.
At this time, Ding Gui also wanted to share the steamed buns with the mother and daughter.
Zhang Xiu immediately refused: "No, you will be doing hard labor outside. Besides, we are already full!"
Ding Gui felt sorry for the mother and daughter: "I'm really not hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the steamed bun in his hand was snatched away by Ding Xiaodie. Seeing his daughter put the bun into the cloth bag, Zhang Xiu immediately scolded her: "Xiaodie, why are you so ignorant?"
This child is quite complicated. She is not young anymore and is usually very sensible. She can think of things that others can't. But today she snatched food from her father who had to go out to work.
Even Wang Dafeng was a little stunned.
Ding Xiaodie chuckled: "Dad, I'll save it for you. When you come back later, your stomach will definitely be empty, so you can eat it then."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiu didn't understand.
But Ding Gui immediately understood his daughter's worries. He tapped her forehead knowingly and said, "Okay, Dad will listen to you." He then said to Zhang Xiu, "Don't ask. Just eat your food."
Later events proved that Ding Xiaodie didn't think too much. When Ding Gui followed everyone to work, he realized what it meant to vomit violently.
The bodies of those who had been dead for several days had to be carried out and placed on a board, and then they would be carried in turns to the designated place at the foot of the mountain for burial. The house number would also be written in front of each grave to prevent the owner's family from returning in the future to recognize it.
There is nothing about this process that is not disgusting.
After all, the smell on a hot day is enough to make you feel suffocated just thinking about it.
Ding Xiaodie is a criminal police officer, so she naturally knows what will happen next.
She was not idle after her father left. She saw all the food given by the Lu family, a spoonful of porridge and a steamed bun. It was obvious that the Lu family was also frugal. It was unknown whether they would give her the next meal.
So at this time, while she still had some strength after drinking the porridge, she planned to go up the mountain with her mother to look for mushrooms.
If I'm lucky, will the thief throw out two more rabbits?
But she didn't expect that she had been targeted by the children in the village.
The reason was that Ding Rong discovered that the smell of meat last night actually came from the third brother's house and the village chief's house. He guessed that Ding Xiaodie and her daughter and Dabao and Erbao must have found something to eat yesterday.
So today when I was going to work, I told my kids: "Keep an eye on that little girl. Wherever she goes, you go."
The three siblings, led by Ding Shan, nodded repeatedly: "Dad, don't worry."
They also want to have some meat, and this mission is guaranteed to be accomplished.
So Ding Xiaodie and her daughter had just walked onto the street for a while when they noticed someone following them...
