Soon it was the Yu family's turn, and Yu Hai let the eldest sister and brother-in-law lead first. When the people in the yamen were loading food for Yu Caifeng, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Can married girls also participate in receiving food for disaster relief?"
Mr. Zhao, who happened to come over to make an inspection, heard this, frowned and said, "A married girl, if she is married to this village and her household registration belongs to Dongshan Village, she can naturally participate in receiving food."
The Yu family followed the voice and found that it was Li Guihua and Li Shi who were greedy, lazy and often picky. With her hips on her hips, she pointed at Yu Caifeng, who was receiving food, and said frothyly, "Yu Caifeng is a married woman who married far away to the Northeast. Everyone in the village knows about it. She fled to Dongshan Village in the spring." , is it also considered a member of Dongshan Village?"
This Li Guihua harms others and does not benefit herself. Yu Caifeng can't get food, and she can't get an extra catty. If she gets food, she won't take her share. What does disaster year food mean? It is a living life! Li's cutting off the way for people to receive food is tantamount to murdering for money! What kind of grudge does Yu Caifeng have against her, to be so vicious
The villagers of Dongshan Village looked at Li Guihua with complicated eyes. This old woman is a poisonous snake, maybe it will jump out and bite someone soon. When I go home, I have to warn my mother-in-law not to get involved with such a person.
The village chief, who was helping to distribute the food, pulled his face and scolded her: "Li Guihua, it's so good to get your food, why are you talking so much?"
Mrs. Li continued to shake off the fat on her body, smiled obsequiously at the county magistrate, and said, "Aren't I the one who caught fish in troubled waters in the team for Lord Qingtian? The food distributed by the court can't be taken by some inexplicable people Someone took them away! Village chief, if you can't get on well with Yu Hai, just protect them!"
Li's heart is full of resentment towards Yu Hai's family. Liu Hu, a person with a foreign surname, could take him home and raise them, provide for their family to eat and drink, live in a green brick house for them, and even make a fuss about building a house for them. He said to the outside world that Liu Hu earned the money himself. In the past six months, besides helping sell watermelons for a few days and leaving the village, when did Liu Hu go out to work and earn money
Yu Hai would rather help people with a foreign surname than give Yu Dashan three melons and two dates. It is said that Yu Hai's family eats meat and fine grains every day, but she can only eat the few coarse grain pancakes distributed by her mother-in-law. Her natal brothers also became more and more impatient with her going back to get things, especially her sister-in-law, who said some vitriolic words every time. Every time I brought it back, I ate less and less, and it was not enough for her to eat. The feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable, and she lost a lot of weight!
After Lao Yutou reconciled with Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li argued several times to separate the family, but she was threatened by Mrs. Zhang to leave the house. Following Mrs. Zhang, I can at least get something to eat every day. If I leave the house, I have to find out everything by myself. Mrs. Zhang still has hundreds of taels of silver in her hands, so she can't take advantage of that brat Yu Bo. There is another advantage of not separating the families. If Yu Bo is admitted to fame, his family will also be honored.
But every time she saw the old Yutou with a rosy complexion and a shiny face, Li Shi was not calm. This Yu Hai's family has a lot of wealth, they tossed back the people who were dying, and their bodies looked tougher than before they got sick. These benefits did not fall on her in the slightest. How could she be happy if she didn't create trouble for them. No, it's a rare opportunity, and Mrs. Li jumped out just like that.
County magistrate Zhao looked at the village head suspiciously, and raised his voice to ask: "Village head, what's going on?"
The village chief was so angry that his face was like a pig's liver, and his face was bright purple. He couldn't argue with an old woman, so he could only give Li a hard look, and explained to Zhao County Magistrate: "Master County Magistrate, don't listen to her being blind." Lie. Although Yu Caifeng's family fled to Dongshan Village, they have already moved their household registration to Dongshan Village and settled in the village. I took them to the yamen to handle the formalities. If you don't believe me, I will ask Yu Caifeng to go back and give you the household registration look."
After hearing the explanation, County Magistrate Zhao's face became softer, nodded, and said, "Well! I'd better take the household registration and show it to the villagers on the spot, so that no one will talk behind their backs!"
Liu Junping stood up and said, "Your magistrate, the village head, I'm fast, I'll go get it!"
Yu Caifeng gave the key to the cabinet in the room to the eldest son, and gave some instructions. Liu Junping glared at Mrs. Li fiercely with a man-eating gaze, and ran towards the old house as fast as he could.
Yu Caifeng was afraid of delaying the progress of food distribution, so she took a step aside and let the villagers behind her take the lead. The sister-in-law smiled at her, and said, "Caifeng, we all belong to the same village, we all know each other well. We all believe in you!"
Someone in the team whispered: "This Mrs. Li has a vicious mind! The food is all from the government, and it doesn't take a cent from her, yet she jumped out to report her sister-in-law! Who did they provoke? "
Another person curled his lips and said, "What sister-in-law's family? Then Yu Dashan was brought here by Mrs. Zhang's second marriage head, and has no blood relationship with Caifeng. Besides, the old Yutou has already reconciled with Mrs. Zhang, and Yu Dashan It has nothing to do with Dahai and Caifeng now!"
"The Li family and the Zhang family are really not a family. If they don't enter the family, they are equally hard-hearted. Fortunately, Lao Yutou has Da Hai, his own son, otherwise he would have gone to Nanshan long ago!"
"As for Mrs. Zhang's stingy attitude, she won't even prepare a coffin if she can't guarantee it. Use grass to roll it up and dig a hole to bury it! Sigh! Mrs. Zhang, you are not afraid of retribution!"
While the villagers were discussing in low voices, Liu Junping brought his household registration certificate. On the flat household registration, the words Dongshan Village were clearly written. Although there were many refugees from Tanggu Town at the beginning, the people in the yamen saw that there was a relative of the imperial envoy in Yu Hai's family, and he was also a celebrity in front of the king of Yang County. confiscated.
Facts speak louder than words, and some people with bad intentions also stopped. Under everyone's contemptuous gazes, Mrs. Li shrank her head and dodged everyone's gaze. When it was her turn to collect the food, she ran away in a desperate manner as if a wolf was chasing her after her.
Except for this small episode, the food distribution went very smoothly. The Yu family, with six adults and six children, received a total of 150 catties of grain, enough to feed them for a month. However, most of the grains they received were coarse grains. Every time Xiaocao made steamed buns or pancakes, I added a handful or two, and it took a long time to consume them.
The food piled up like a mountain at home gave the Yu family a sense of security during the disaster year. The vegetables harvested in the vegetable field in the yard have been dried in the sun. The only fly in the ointment is that they cannot eat fresh vegetables. Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, since Lingshi Liquid has the effect of exterminating locusts, can she use it for something
correct! Didn't exterminators in the previous life use pesticides? Can she use herbal medicine to develop a slightly poisonous and volatile liquid medicine to cover her spirit stone liquid
One day was chosen, and Yu Xiaocao rode her little red horse to the Tongrentang Pharmacy, found Dr. Sun, and shared her thoughts. Dr. Sun was also very interested in this, and the two of them worked together to make a medicinal solution with the effect of repelling insects and exterminating insects! It's just that the potion without spirit stone liquid is much less effective!
Because the potion is made of Chinese herbal medicine, the price is relatively high, and not everyone can afford it, so it is impossible to popularize it. Yu Xiaocao's real purpose in making this kind of potion was to use the spirit stone liquid as a cover.
After the potion came out, Yu Xiaocao bought a lot of Chinese medicinal materials from Tong Ren Tang, and got busy when she got home. When the Yu family heard that although the potion was expensive, it could expel and eliminate locusts, they immediately became motivated again.
They plowed the land in the yard early, sprinkled the seeds of short-maturity green leafy vegetables in the front and back yards of the east yard, and planted autumn vegetables such as cabbage and radishes in the west yard.
Yu Xiaocao went to the blacksmith in the town and made several watering cans. Put the potion mixed with spirit stone liquid into the watering can, and pour the potion on the vegetable field every day.
Although the spirit stone liquid of Xiaobutianshi is good for animals and plants, it must be controlled to a certain degree. For example, the two black and white wolf cubs they raised at home can withstand a concentration of 1% spirit stone liquid. If the concentration is higher, it will be harmful to their bodies. If they are given pure spirit stone If it is liquid, it will explode with spiritual power and die. The concentration of spiritual power that locusts can withstand is even lower, that is to say, as long as a few drops of spirit stone liquid are consumed every day, there is absolutely no pressure to exterminate insects!
Plants have a higher tolerance to spirit stone liquid, and a higher concentration can promote plant growth, and can make plants carry a little spiritual power, which is beneficial to the human body. This is one of the reasons why Yu's vegetables are more expensive than others, but they never worry about selling them.
The sprinkled vegetable seeds will soon sprout tender sprouts, and the locusts will naturally not let go of this delicious food. However, the smell from the potion caused most of the locusts to detour, and the few locusts that fell occasionally kicked their legs because they couldn't bear the aura of the spirit stone liquid. Every day, the children of Yu's family can pick up many dead locusts from the field.
Seeing that it was a pity to throw away these locusts, Yu Xiaocao bought more than 30 newly hatched chicks from Aunt Zhou's. Zhou Coral was very strange, and asked: "Xiaocao, people can't eat enough in a disaster year, where can there be food to feed the chickens? Our chickens, those that grow up are okay, all of them are sold for money. Those half Big chick, my parents are so worried that they don't know what to do... "
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said: "Our family has a lot of children, so we go up the mountain every day to catch more bugs, and with the collected corn leaves and sweet potato leaves, we can almost raise chickens. In winter, if there is no food, Just kill and eat meat."
So, under the leadership of Liu Junping, the children of Yu's family caught locusts everywhere. After the locusts were caught, they were all frozen in the cellar. The Yu family makes several buckets of ice every day to supplement the ice consumed in the cellar. In the entire cellar of fifty or sixty square meters, except for the ice cubes, there were baskets of locusts. Not to mention raising thirty chickens, thirty more chickens can be raised.
The locusts that died in the fields were dried, ground into powder, and mixed into the chaff. Chicks love to eat, and they grow faster than when they are fed only food.
