It was not until dark that Tian Hengyuan and his group returned to the village.
The smile on everyone's face cannot be hidden.
The villagers were also looking forward to it very much. As soon as the group arrived at Lao Tian's yard, the villagers followed them.
"Fellow villagers, now that everyone's here, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce something good." The village chief happily pointed to the oxcart next to him. "See? A total of 1,999 kilograms of cornmeal. No one will have to go hungry anymore."
Everyone cheered instantly.
"Thank you, village chief, and thank you, Fubao."
When everyone was almost happy, the village chief tapped his pipe.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for now. After you get the food, go home and have fun."
Everyone immediately quieted down.
"All of us villagers must remember Fubao's kindness, okay?" The village chief waved towards Tian Chengcheng, "Fubao, come here."
Tian Chengcheng ran over, raised her little head, and called out obediently, "Grandpa Fang."
"My dear Fubao, see, those grains were exchanged for wild boars." The wrinkles on the village chief's face seemed to be smoothed out a lot.
Tian Chengcheng nodded, with stars twinkling in her big eyes.
"Anyone who needs food should register with Accountant Guo. Fugui, Fuhua, and Huzi, please help weigh the food. Don't make any mistakes." The village chief arranged for the distribution of the food. "Before you go too far, let me be frank. This food is a loan to everyone. When you have food in the future, please send it to the village, and the village will return it to the old Tian family. Remember?"
"Remember." Everyone expressed their opinions and went to distribute the food happily.
There are ninety-eight households in the village, with two thousand kilograms of grain. Three hundred kilograms are left for Fu Xinhan, one hundred kilograms are left for the old lady and her family, and the remaining families can get about fifteen kilograms of grain. It’s a little less, but it’s better than nothing.
Fu Xinhan and Tian Hengyuan put a total of 400 kilograms of grain into the inner room, with no intention of giving way.
Tian Chengcheng shook her head helplessly and walked over to enlighten him.
"Brother Han, can you eat so much food at once? How about we give everyone 200 kilograms first and then return it to you. Only when you help everyone will they remember your kindness."
"I don't need it." Fu Xinhan said.
"...You need it." Tian Chengcheng tried hard to smile, "Brother Han, there are so many good people in this world."
Fu Xinhan had a blank expression on his face. It was obvious that what he thought was different from what Tian Chengcheng thought.
Bad living environment has a huge impact on a person's character, and Fu Xinhan became paranoid and ruthless due to long-term bullying.
In his opinion, people can only rely on themselves and work hard to get what they want.
Fists are the best way to get things.
Seeing his expression, Tian Chengcheng felt tired.
The character of a naughty child cannot be changed in a short time.
Forget it, take your time.
After everyone got their share of food, they hurried back home. The whole family was waiting for the food to be cooked.
The village chief also received 15 kilograms of food and asked Hu Zi to carry it back.
He stayed until the end, went into the house and said hello to the old lady before leaving. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
After everyone left, Tian Hengyuan took out a bag from the inner room, removed the outer plastic bag, and found a white flour bag inside.
"Fubao, guess what this is?" Tian Hengyuan deliberately teased Tian Chengcheng.
Tian Chengcheng saw the two big words "flour bag" at a glance.
But she is blind now, so she can only play dumb and pretend to be innocent and expectant.
"Uncle, what is it?"
"Look, flour." Tian Hengyuan opened the bag, revealing fine flour.
"Wow, that's a lot."
Tian Chengcheng shouted in surprise.
She was really happy because she finally didn't have to eat the hard and throat-irritating steamed buns.
"I'll make you some pancakes tonight." Tian Hengyuan poked Tian Chengcheng's little face and reminded her, "Don't tell anyone about the flour."
This was the result of a discussion between the mother and son. They specially asked the village chief to help exchange 30 kilograms of flour, saying that it would be good for the old lady's health.
Actually, I wanted to give Tian Chengcheng some good nourishment.
"Yeah." Tian Chengcheng was very excited.
Finally I can eat fine grains.
Tian Hengyuan went to get it immediately, and Fu Xinhan took advantage of darkness and went home with five pounds of cornmeal.
This meal was the most enjoyable one I had since Tian Chengcheng came.
It really is——
How happy it is to have white flour to eat!
After dinner, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat on the kang and listened to Tian Chengcheng talk about catching wild rabbits in the mountains, and of course the two gold bracelets.
The old lady asked Tian Hengyuan to close the door tightly, and then took out two gold bracelets and looked at them carefully.
"It's made of pure gold. It will be given to Fubao as a dowry in the future. Third brother, don't think about it." The old lady smiled.
Tian Hengyuan's dark face was full of smiles. "Don't worry, Mom. Even if I have to beg for food, I won't take Fubao's dowry."
The old lady was very satisfied.
Tian Chengcheng looked at the mother and son, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Now he is so hungry that his face is pale and his body is thin, but he doesn't think about improving his life, but is thinking about things that are not even going to happen yet.
What's the idea?
She has to brainwash them.
"Grandma, uncle, I don't want a dowry. Let's sell the bracelet to pay for grandma's medical treatment and let uncle continue to go to college. He can eat better and wear warmer clothes. Let's live a good life first. When uncle graduates from college and finds a good job, he won't be able to afford a gold bracelet."
Tian Chengcheng tilted her little face up and asked innocently.
The old lady and Tian Hengyuan looked at the little face and couldn't answer for a moment.
I always feel that eating and drinking too much is not right, but when I think about it carefully, what Fubao said makes sense.
"Isn't that right?" Tian Chengcheng continued to ask.
"The gold bracelet is for you to have with you in the future." The old lady finally found a reason.
Tian Chengcheng was speechless and could only resort to ruthless tactics.
"I don't need a gold bracelet. Grandma and uncle are my biggest supporters. Grandma, uncle, when I grow up, you won't abandon me, right?"
As Tian Chengcheng spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she was very afraid of being abandoned.
The old lady felt so distressed that she quickly took her into her arms.
"Oh, Fubao, don't cry. Grandma and uncle love Fubao so much, how could they not want him? Be good, don't cry! All is up to you, okay? Tomorrow, let your uncle take you to the city to sell the gold bracelet, and you can buy whatever you want."
Tian Chengcheng was shocked.
It turns out this trick is so effective!
She felt like she had unlocked a new skill to survive here.
"Grandma, is it true? Can I really go to the city with my uncle? I have never been to any other place except the village and the mountain behind me since I was a child." Tian Chengcheng blinked hard, her face full of anticipation.
"Of course it's true. Although grandma is old, she's not senile. The most important thing for a person is to keep his word and keep his word." The old lady gently stroked her hair and put the gold bracelet in her hand. "Go tomorrow and exchange this one first."
"Thank you, grandma." Tian Chengcheng was very happy.
