Chapter 25

In the courtyard of the Ren family, ten men were sitting around the table. A man in a coat and glasses was drawing on the drawings with a pen in his hand. He looked very knowledgeable. It is a rectangle, and there are large and small squares inside, horizontal and vertical, with complex marks.

"This is the design drawing we are about to repair. Sister Yin, is there anything else that needs to be modified?"

The learned gentleman lowered his glasses. Yin Bao heard from his elder brother yesterday that there was a teacher in this group named Zhuge Jing. Repair and design.

Yinbao took a closer look at the design drawings, and gestured towards his own yard. The old iron village head made a request that it is not impossible for these people to live with the Ren family, but in the village, each person poked his head one by one, and one poked the right piece of land. , These are all outsiders, unable to set up their own houses, so they can only expand the original old Ren's house and merge it with the grassland next to it, so that they can live in the compound.

Anyway, Yinbao's father took care of the grassland in the early years, and the soil quality was getting worse every year, so it was right to return it to them.

Yin Bao stared at the sign on the drawing, "150 feet long and [-] feet wide? Is it such a big yard?"

Zhuge Jing stroked the top of Clever's head, and smiled politely, "Since the village chief agrees to plan the grassland for the Ren family, of course the larger the design, the more beneficial it will be for Sister Yin!"

Yin Bao raised her eyes, Zhuge Jing was 50 or [-] years old at any rate, and she shouted one sister at a time, which made her feel terrified.However, this group of men are all strong and strong. Now that the design has been made, if they are willing to concentrate on their work, then the three brothers and sisters of Yinbao can enjoy the benefits, which is not bad!
A strong man with the appearance of a foreman appeared, with thick arms and a strong voice, he was about to catch up with the elder brother in size, but he looked silly, and Yin Bao had a little impression of him, not because he was too much. strong
It was his daughter-in-law, the beautiful woman over there who was discussing how much cement to buy with two other women. I don't know her surname, but her name is Jinlian.

Don't get it wrong, this golden lotus is a good golden lotus.He is tall and straight, his eyes are not big, but they are full of radiance, the hidden double eyelids, frowning and smiling, looking up and looking, penetrate into the bones of the person.

That figure is also unique, even if she put on the tattered clothes with patches, but her waist is thin and the place that should be fat is swollen, every move is full of beautiful women's coquettishness.

It happened that the beautiful girl who possessed such a coquettish attitude, her face was full of innocence, it was really rare to hear the eldest brother say that she was in her late thirties and still so fresh.

Look at this strong man again, he is called Si Nan as his name suggests, "it's hard to think", and he doesn't want to think about anything, he only does things with people he admires, and he is stubborn. He used to be a foreman in a theater in Mizhuang, As soon as the new theater was built, it ran into the stalls of the Mizhuang coup.

"Sister Yin, don't worry! This matter is on us. We are all from the previous construction site. Such a single-story courtyard building is relatively simple, and the construction will definitely be handed over in a month!"

Yin Bao nodded, and everyone split up to use the existing mud and tools to prepare for the foundation painting, without asking the three brothers and sisters to help.The three of them sat on the table with their chins lightly resting on their right hands, all of them showed embarrassment, looked at the scorching sun, and let out a long sigh in unison.

Yin Bao stared blankly at the busy men, "Brother, why are you sighing?"

"It goes without saying that although the house is bigger, the population has also increased. Our family now has a total of 38 people, and we all have to eat. Fifty stones of grain can't last for a few days!"

In the past, 25 people, when there was food, had to eat a whole stone, which is one hundred catties, for a month of frugality. One month is 160 catties, fifty shi is five thousand catties of grain, and food will be exhausted after 31 months.

"But if we calculate this way, we won't have to worry about it for at least two years!" Brother Tong's original frown eased a little.

"It's okay to eat and drink for two years, but now the business of Mizhuang has temporarily disappeared. There are still many families in the village who starve to death. It is impossible for our family to store so much food smoothly all the time. Someone will come to ask for it.”

"Now I'm just sitting and eating, and I don't have any income for a day, so I really worry about it for a day!"

The eldest brother analyzed the situation, and Yinbao felt that what he said was right. Besides, in this troubled world, a family has so much food but does not give it to others, and is isolated in the village. How can they lead the whole village to become rich and strong in the future? What about the invaded fortress?
Although she didn't want the Holy Mother, and didn't want to hand over the food they risked their lives for, but today's situation forced her to do this. They were all driven away and turned into cannon fodder and wandering spirits!

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
"Stop, what are you doing!"

With a yell from Si Nan, more than a dozen people outside the door were blocked, and the brothers who were busy laying the foundation not far away all surrounded them by coincidence, protecting the door of Ren's house like a wall.

The three brothers and sisters of Yinbao didn't know what happened, so they went up to look, and saw dozens of villagers, all of them old people in the family, holding broken bowls in their hands, and they all showed embarrassment.

Lao Tie took the lead, sitting at the door of Ren's house and crying with snot and tears. Seeing this, Big Brother Jin hurried forward to help him up. Just as he was about to help him up, the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, you have pity on us and give us something to eat!"

The three brothers and sisters of Yinbao helped them up one after the other, and then knelt down again as soon as they got up. After thinking for a while, the three of them counted the number of people and decided to give out ten shi of grain to help the neighbors.

The eldest brother and the second brother were about to go to the backyard to get food, but Zhuge Jing stopped them, "The head of the family should think again!"

A trace of doubt flashed in the elder brother's eyes, "What else is there to consider? Let's save people first. You may not know it when you first came to our village. Everyone's situation is like this. It's very bad. We are neighbors and neighbors. If you can help Just help!"

Zhuge Jing touched the smooth top of his head, helped his black-rimmed eyes, his shrewd eyes turned on the faces of the begging people outside the door.

"The two heads of the family and the lady are both Bodhisattva-hearted. This can be seen from the fact that you are willing to bring us refugees all the way to Water Flower Village, but now you are asked for it. First, such things will continue to flow. Second, you It's like stretching out your hands and opening your mouth, it's not really helping them!"

The second brother Tong couldn't hear it, and said seriously, "The people in our village are not as miserable as you say! You don't want to use the sinister heart of your rich and wealthy children of Mizhuang to plot against us!"

Zhuge Jing looked up to the sky and laughed, "Of course there are few problems when you are poor, because no one has the heart to be serious. After all, there is no benefit. When you get rich overnight, there are many problems. If you are not careful, you will be in charge of this little property. , I can assure you, within three days, not a single drop will be left!"

After hearing this, Yin Bao frowned slightly, put his right hand lightly in front of his chin, and carefully twisted Mr. Zhuge's words. He was well-informed, and what he said was not unreasonable.Giving ten shi today and ten shi tomorrow, there are still so many people in the old Ren family who want to eat, it must be too late.

But the people kneeling outside the door are all old and weak women and children. Seeing that they don't help, it really hurts.

"Miss, don't worry, I have a solution, if you don't mind, you can give it a try!"
