Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 53
Mu Zhen, who rushed home from school, was spotted red and swollen by her sharp-eyed younger brother as soon as she entered the door.

"Brother, why is your face swollen?" Mu Bao asked curiously.

"Where is it swollen?" Mu Zhen touched her still hot face, pretending to be calm and asked.

"I also said there was no swelling, it was so red that it was swollen." Mu Bao pointed to Mu Zhen's face and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, I was walking with my head down just now, and I bumped into a tree!" Mu Zhen made up a lie to deceive Mu Bao.

Mu Baoxin thought it was true, ran into the house and said to Xiuhua who was chopping vegetables: "Mother, my brother hit a tree while walking!"

When Mu Zhen heard what Mu Bao said to her mother, she rolled her eyes at Mu Bao who was in the room, feeling a little unhappy, turned around and walked into her room, took a book and sat at the desk thinking about something.

The wheat harvest is coming to an end, all the wheat has been returned to the warehouse, and the summer planting is about to begin. In the countryside at that time, it was the best time to burn the wheat stubble. As soon as the sun went down, with the help of the breeze, I don’t know who ignited the field along the wind. The wheat stubble was just a little flame at the beginning, just as a single spark can start a prairie fire. In an instant, the small flame turned into a big fire worm. The sunset glow looks like a moving flaming mountain from a distance.

Those who were nearby suddenly discovered that the fire had spread across the field and rushed towards the pig breeding farm near the wheat threshing farm. The pigs in the pig breeding farm began to boil, and the pigs in the nearby pig pens "owed" Calling, Lao Zhao, who was the first to find out, didn't dare to neglect, he took a bamboo broom and beat the flames, while shouting loudly: "Fire! Fire! Put out the fire!" The village heard the cry The people also shouted.

Suddenly, dozens of people shouted together, and hundreds of people ran out of the house with pots and buckets. Everyone ran to the pig farm together. The small village suddenly became lively. Those who beat them with brooms, and those who sprinkled soil with iron shovels, children who joined in the fun, shouted and ran to see Xihan.

The fire quickly subsided, and everyone noticed that the top of the pigsty closest to the wheat field had been burnt to the point where several horizontal beams were left. The pigs inside had been let out by Lao Zhao. The pigs were saved, but the pigsty was not up.

When the fire was extinguished, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say, then everyone noticed that the owner of the pig farm was not on the scene to put out the fire, and someone was very surprised: "Could it be that Tian Cheng didn't know about his pig farm being on fire? "

The fast-legged Wang Tianbiao in the village is Tian Cheng's brother, he quickly ran to Tian Cheng's house to report, but there was no one at home, Wang Tianbiao was very anxious and disappointed, where did Tian Cheng go?At this time, he thought of Lao Zhao who was feeding the pigs, and when he came back to his senses, he ran to the pig breeding farm. Lao Zhao was looking for sows that had jumped out of the pigpen with people.

"Where did my brother's family go?" Wang Tianbiao asked Lao Zhao.

"I don't know either. He only said he was away with his relatives! He didn't say when he would come back, but he just asked me to take care of the pigsty!" Old Zhao said honestly.

Wang Tianbiao didn't say anything, he knew that his brother would not go too far during this busy time, and it was very likely that he would go to his father-in-law's house.Probably coming back soon.

Together with the others, Wang Tianbiao brought the sow back to the pen. People in the village gathered in twos and twos, discussing it. Some people thought that the risk of investing in the breeding farm was too great. Some people suggested that if they were so irresponsible, they should simply withdraw their shares. .

After all, it was the fifteenth day of the month and the sixteenth round. When the moon rose, someone in the village noticed that Tian Cheng had returned. They spread the word to ten, and then spread the word to hundreds. All the villagers who bought shares walked into Tian Cheng's house.

Tian Cheng asked inexplicably, "What are you all doing here?"

Everyone was silent, a person came out from the crowd, it was his brother Wang Tianbiao, he pulled Tian Cheng into the house and said, "Your pigpen is on fire, everyone has come to talk to you, maybe someone wants to withdraw their shares Already!"

"Fire? What kind of fire? Just kidding, how could there be a fire?" Monk Tian Chengzhang asked puzzledly.

Tian Biao explained the whole story in detail, and then looked at Tian Cheng as if asking for advice.

"This is still a big deal, and it didn't cause much loss!" Tian Cheng said lightly.

"You still think it's not a big deal. Someone in the village wants to withdraw their shares, so it's not a big deal?" Tianbiao asked suspiciously.

Tian Cheng didn't take a look at the sky mark, so he went out and said to the people standing in the courtyard: "I just found out about the fire, and the fire also burned, and there wasn't much loss. Don't you think everyone doesn't trust me? I I can’t guarantee how much everyone will earn by following me at the end of the year, but if anyone wants to withdraw their shares now, I can refund them for everyone, and then you won’t regret it!”

The crowd fell silent, they suddenly had no idea about Tian Cheng's statement, they stood blankly for a few minutes, some people began to sneak out of the crowd, went out and went home, followed closely by those who were interested, and retreated, Only a few people who shouted to withdraw their shares just now were still standing there, not knowing what to say.

"If you don't have anything else to do, you can go inside and sit down. If you don't sit down, you can go home and rest!" Just as Tian Cheng finished speaking, the last few people in the courtyard turned around and left quietly.

Tian Cheng went back to the house and kept thinking, no one could tell if the fire was good or bad, he didn't go to the pigsty immediately, he believed that Old Zhao might be blaming himself there!

Just as Tian Cheng was thinking, footsteps sounded outside the gate again.
