Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 81

81
Qiao Wanyue and Bai Muyang's mother and son set off for Lianzhou City that afternoon, and Lao Chen and his party also went back to Nuanyang Village.

Lao Chen and the others originally came to give Nuannuan a new year gift, but they brought more things when they returned. After returning to Nuanyang Village, they were severely scolded by the village chief. Nuannuan didn't know about these things.

Bai Muyang's people sent the bank notes to the village three days later, and there were quite a few people, twenty people in total.

One of them was a man in his 40s who looked like a son of Lian’s family. He found Nuannuan: “Miss Wennuan, my name is Zeng Bin. Master Bai asked me to stay and help you set traps outside the village and train the villagers.”

Brother Bai is so thoughtful!

Wen Nuan's whole face lit up: "Then please trouble Master Zeng."

There are quite a few patrol teams in their village, but none of them have the slightest knowledge of martial arts, and they can resist for a while when encountering refugees. Like the robbers who entered the village a few days ago, if it weren't for Big Brother Bai and Lao Chen and others, the villagers' lives might be in danger.

Nuan Nuan remembered everything that Bai Muyang had done for her and their village.

It's a new year, but we can't relax our patrols.

Zeng Bin planned to take the villagers to set up traps and checkpoints outside the village in the few days before the New Year, and start training after the New Year.

·The old village chief looked at the 1500 taels of silver sent by Bai Muyang on his desk, and he was breathless.

It was the first time in his life that he saw so many silver taels, and he was almost blinded by it.

The same goes for the rest of the Liao family, they didn't know whether they were happy or scared, they all looked dumb.

22 horses were sold to Bai Muyang at a price of 65 taels each, which should be 1430 taels in total, but Bai Muyang directly made up a round number and sent them over.

But why didn't he change the silver into bills?

How can he hide so much money?
The old village head was a little worried.

After Liao Yong regained his composure, he had a thought: "Father, it's not safe to put so much money in our hands. If it is stolen, our family can't bear the responsibility. Why don't we distribute the money to the villagers?"

After being reminded by the eldest son, the old village chief suddenly realized: "I said that Mu Yang is a careful boy, how could he forget to change the cash into bank notes? So that's what he meant!"

The old village chief was very grateful to Bai Muyang for thinking of him so much.

The 1500 taels of silver are the confidence of the folks. If he loses it in his hands, the folks will hate him to death!
The old village chief asked his eldest grandson Liao Qingshui to help him with the calculation, and called the villagers to hold a meeting in the afternoon to discuss how to divide the money.

The result of the discussion was that each household was given ten taels of silver, and each villager who was slightly injured in resisting the robbers was rewarded with one tael of silver, and those seriously injured villagers who let Wen Nuan stitch their wounds were rewarded with two taels of silver.

With such a reward, if the village encounters danger again, no villagers will back down.

The rest of the money will be deposited in the account of the village and kept by the old village head.

After getting along for a few months, apart from the original villagers of Qing'ao Village, other villagers also saw that the old village head, Liao Zhicai, was a man who distinguished between public and private, and acted fairly.

Every family has ten taels of silver as a base, and their hearts are more at ease. Coupled with the distribution of dozens of catties of meat, the folks in Xinqing'ao Village are secretly preparing for the new year.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Wen family was having a reunion dinner.

Looking at the neat and tidy family, Mr. Wen was very happy: "It is thanks to Nuan Nuan that we have today. Come, Nuan Nuan, Grandpa toasts you."

"Grandpa, we are a family, so there is no need to talk about it." Wen Nuan poured half a bowl of wine into his own bowl: "Grandpa and Grandma, I respect you."

Saburo's injury is much better, and he is allowed to go to the ground. He must be indispensable for this reunion dinner.

Seeing that he and Qi'er were drinking fruit juice while the others were drinking wine, he was very dissatisfied: "Nuan Nuan, I want to drink wine too!"

"Your wound is not healed yet, so you can't drink." Wen Nuan glared at him: "Drink your juice!"

"Juice is too sweet, I want to drink, just a little!" Saburo insisted.

Webster said angrily: "Nuannuan is a doctor, if she says she can't drink it, then she can't drink it! Be more obedient!"

She was really scared by this brat this time, and she planned not to spoil him in the future.

The old lady saw this second daughter-in-law hardened for a rare time, and couldn't help laughing: "Sanlang, be obedient, there are so many dishes, you can eat the vegetables if you can't drink."

Saburo was very unhappy.

The whole family always coaxes him in such a coaxing tone, does he really treat him as a child?
But it's the New Year's Eve, he endured it and didn't make a fuss.

Zeng Bin lived with Wen's family for the first year. When he first knew that the people his master asked him to help were refugees fleeing from other places to the outskirts of Anping County, he thought that their life must be very difficult. He didn't know until he came to this village. How ridiculous your own thoughts are.

Who said that refugees fleeing famine must be poor and have a difficult life?
Looking at the villagers of Xinqing'ao Village, ordinary people in Lianzhou City might not live a happy life without them.

Especially this Wen's family, who can actually make their own wine that is only available outside the show!
Wen's wine is brewed by Luo himself, because the grapes from the warm space are used, and the taste is not inferior to the wine from Fanwai.

It's just that Zeng Bin and the rest of the Wen family have never drank the real wine from Fanwai, so they don't know the difference.

But Qi Wenli, Qin Yang, and Bai Lang who were far away in Lianzhou City drank it.

When Qiao Wanyue and Bai Muyang returned to Lianzhou City, besides the Bai family, the Luo family also prepared New Year gifts for the magistrate and Qin Yang, among which was the wine she brewed herself.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the folks in Xinqing’ao Village watched the night while roasting fire, and someone shouted in the village: “It’s snowing!”

Many villagers who are not afraid of the cold ran out of the courtyard to watch the snow.

"Is this snow?" Some folks were very excited because they had never seen snow.

The children took the opportunity to run outside to play.

"Hurry up and get in the house, don't freeze." Some women worriedly drove their children home, so as not to catch a cold during the Chinese New Year.

The Wen family also took a look outside before returning to the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Liao Qingshui helping the old village chief come over.

"Grandpa Village Chief, is there something urgent for you?" Da Lang moved a stool for the old village chief to sit on.

At this time, everyone is watching the new year at home, and they will not rush out if there is no emergency.

"I'm here to chat with your grandpa." The old village chief sat down, drank two sips of hot sugar water poured by Luo's before chatting with old man Wen: "Old man Wen, why do you think it snows only in this place during Chinese New Year? I heard that some places in the Northland start to snow in autumn."

Mr. Wen felt that the old village chief asked the wrong person: "I didn't come here with you, how could I know?"

Erlang frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Saburo said: "Why don't I go to the city tomorrow and ask shopkeeper Wu, he is a local and knows a lot."
