"Little Ling, have you stayed here all this time?" Aunt Huang asked in surprise when she saw Li Qingling standing at the gate of the yard.
She looked Li Qingling up and down, and saw that she was a little thinner than before, and everything else looked good.
How could they come back like a beggar
Li Qingling looked at Aunt Huang, who was so thin that she had only bones left, and shook her head, "No, we went to Songshan to hide." After a pause, "The soldiers of King Nanyan came to the village, and my house was turned into a mess. Yes, fortunately we don't stay here, otherwise..."
When Aunt Huang heard this, her body trembled, and she asked anxiously, "Did those thieves harm our family?" If the whole family was harmed, what should we do
They escaped for several months, exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to take a good rest when they came back, but they didn't expect to hear this bad news.
"I've only been back for two or three days, and I'm tidying up the house, so I didn't go out to look." Li Qingling said with some embarrassment, "I guess I was harmed too." Those are simply not human, how could they not be harmed
Hearing this, Aunt Huang's body softened and almost collapsed on the ground. Li Qingling quickly reached out to help her.
Aunt Huang patted her thigh hard and howled, God damned this day, not only caused us to be displaced, but also dared to harm our family, it's god damned!
Li Qingling could understand Aunt Huang's mood, she lightly patted the fat aunt on the shoulder, "Aunt Huang, you must be tired all the way back, why don't you go home and see what's going on? Maybe the situation is not as bad as I said what, huh?"
But she felt that it was almost the same. After those enemies came here, it was impossible not to harm other houses.
As soon as Aunt Huang heard Li Qingling's words, she nodded immediately and said that she had to go back and have a look. God bless her, nothing happened at home.
She walked a few steps, then remembered something, and turned to Li Qingling and said, "Little Ling, the imperial court has opened a warehouse to release grain, and the town has distributed grain, so go and queue up to get some as soon as possible! One person can get five Tube of rice.” If the imperial court did not open the granary to release grain, they would starve to death when they returned home.
Fortunately, the emperor is a good emperor who cares about the people, and solved their food and clothing problems immediately.
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Huang."
As soon as Aunt Huang left, Li Qingling turned around and went in. She closed the yard door, walked to the study, saw Liu Zhimo who was teaching the children, and said, "I saw Aunt Huang at the gate of the yard just now, she It is said that the imperial court has opened a warehouse to release grain, so we can go to the town to get it, and let’s go get some back too!" Although they still have grain at home, they still have to make a show.
If they don't go to the town to collect food, and others see them eating all day long, they will guess some.
In order to avoid such problems, it is better for them to go to the town to get some food back.
After hearing this, Liu Zhimo responded. After he put down the brush, he told the children that they must complete their homework. After the children nodded, they got up and went out.
"Aunt Huang said that people can receive five tubes of rice per person. Shall we bring the children with us?"
When the children heard Li Qingling's words, they put down the pens in their hands, looked up at Liu Zhimo, and waited for his answer.
Liu Zhimo thought for a moment before opening his mouth, "The two younger sisters can stay at home, and the younger brothers can follow!" After that, he was afraid that the two younger sisters would resist, so he explained, "The road to the town is quite straight. Far away, the two younger sisters can't walk for that long."
As soon as the two little ones heard Liu Zhimo's words, they didn't dare to protest aloud, and nodded obediently.
They knew their abilities, and it wouldn't take long for them to walk. If the two of them followed, it would cause their elder brother and sister to carry them on their backs. It would be better to stay at home obediently and wait for them to come back.
Seeing the two little ones nodding so sensiblely, Li Qingling rubbed their heads with a smile and praised them a few words.
"Old man, why don't you take the two little ones at home, we're going to get food." Li Qingling turned her head and saw the old man walking towards the study, she was the first to speak out.
The old man looked at Li Qingling suspiciously, and asked her what kind of food she was going to get
"The imperial court has opened a warehouse to release grain. The common people can go to the town and receive five cans of grain per person. The few of us plan to go and get some back."
The old man nodded after hearing this, telling them to go ahead, he will take care of the two little ones at home.
With the old man around, Li Qingling was completely at ease. She found out five cloth pockets, distributed one to each of them, and told them to take them all, and went to the town.
On the way to the town, all I saw were those people with yellow and emaciated faces and ragged clothes.
It is conceivable how many people were displaced and their wives were separated by this disaster.
Natural disasters are disasters that human beings cannot resist.
Seeing these people, Dahe felt the deepest emotion in his heart. Before he and his sister were taken in by Miss Xiaoling, he had to go out every day to find food.
But there are so many people who have the same idea as him, and they often have to be beaten until they get a little bit of food.
If he hadn't met Miss Xiaoling and the others, he would have been gone long ago.
Sister Xiaoling and the others are his great benefactors, saviors, and he must always remember this kindness in his heart.
"Sister Xiaoling, thank you." Liu Zhiyan suddenly ran to Li Qingling and said this sentence.
Li Qingling was stunned by his action, and reacted, patted his head, and said with a smile, "How can you thank me so well? Are you stupid?"
Liu Zhiyan looked at Li Qingling with a serious face, and said very seriously, "Sister Xiaoling, if you hadn't had the foresight, we might have fled to other places like these people. I can’t survive.” Seeing these sallow and emaciated people, his heart was deeply shocked, and he also fully knew how good they were living in Songshan, “It’s really because of you that we can have today. Got it."
"Yes, Miss Xiaoling, I will never forget your great kindness." After studying with Liu Zhimo for a while, Dahe can also chew on words.
Li Qingling met the two pairs of sincere eyes, and she felt warm in her heart, and felt that it was really worth it to pay so much.
"I also thank you for being here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to survive now." She smiled and said, "We are a family, and we should support each other."
If the family members were so clearly divided, they would not be able to get to the present without any grudges.
Several people looked at each other and laughed, and the sadness in their hearts dissipated in the smiles.
A group of people talked and laughed, and it took almost two hours to reach the town.
As soon as they entered the town, they didn't need to ask others. They knew where to get the food when they saw the long queue.
In order to make sure that there was no mistake, Li Qingling asked an old woman if she was queuing up to get food
The aunt glanced at Li Qingling, then nodded indifferently.
Li Qingling said thank you, then turned to wave to Liu Zhimo and the others, telling them to come and line up.
Not long after they lined up, another person came from behind, and it was Dahe's parents who came.
Dahe didn't see them at first, but it was Dahe's father who recognized Dahe and called him before turning around to see them.
"Dahe, are you coming to get the food too?" Dahe's father didn't make a sound seeing Dahe looking at him so directly, so he could only ask in a nasty voice.
Dahe looked at the skinny, slightly hunched man in front of him, and he couldn't feel the slightest wave of emotion in his heart, just like treating a stranger, he didn't feel distressed.
"Um…"
He just responded lightly, and didn't have anything else to say to his father.
When he and his stepmother left him and his sister behind, he swore in his heart that from now on, he would not be his father to Li Dahe.
No one who is a father will abandon his own children.
He doesn't deserve to be his father.
"Then come and stand with us. After you get the food, you can put it together." The stepmother saw how clean the river was, and then looked at her son who looked like a little beggar, and she stopped being angry. "It seems that you have had a good time in the past few months? You have to thank me and your father for not taking you to suffer."
The past few months of fleeing were really a nightmare in her life. She almost thought that she would die in a foreign land and never come back!
She also originally thought that the two bastards in the family had no food to eat and would have starved to death long ago, but she did not expect that they lived so well that they did not look like they were starving at all.
"Yes, I will always remember this great kindness." Dahe clenched his fists vigorously, but said with a smile on his face.
If Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhimo hadn't held his fists, he probably couldn't help himself, and rushed towards that shameless woman to beat her.
The stepmother lifted her chin proudly, "Of course..." After finishing speaking, his eyes swept around, but he didn't see Xiaoxi, so his brows immediately frowned, and he asked, "That stinky girl Xiaoxi Well, why is she nowhere to be seen? Was she lazy and didn’t come? If she didn’t get her rice, she won’t be able to eat in the future.”
That's five barrels of rice!
Now five tubes of rice are very precious to their family.
Not to mention Dahe, even Li Qingling and the others looked not very good-looking.
Li Qingling looked at Dahe and patted him on the shoulder. If he couldn't hold on, they would help him.
Dahe understood what Li Qingling meant, he twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head at her, indicating that he could do it alone.
"It's true that she doesn't need to eat anymore." Dahe looked at his stepmother with a very calm expression, and then turned to his own father, "Father, do you understand what I mean?"
Being stared at so calmly by Dahe, Dahe's father felt a little nervous, and asked, what does it mean
Da He continued to stare at his father, and said cruelly: "It means that sister... is dead..." A smile appeared on his mouth, "Is this as you want?"
