Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 109 is pleasing to the eye
When Zhao Wenchang returned to the county government office from Zhujiazhuang, it was already very late at night.

But Zhao Wenchang didn't feel sleepy at all.

His wife, however, was so worried that she couldn't sleep, she kept waiting for him with a lamp on in the backyard.Seeing him coming back, she immediately stepped forward.

"How is it? Didn't you get embarrassed this time? Zhu Yuanwai didn't attack you, did he?"

Zhao Wenchang ordered the people behind him to carry the four heavy boxes into the storeroom, watched with his own eyes that the door of the storeroom was locked, and sent someone to guard it, then turned around and went back to the house with his wife.

As soon as he entered the door, he held his wife's hands and comforted him: "Don't worry, madam, I hope the staff will be very talkative this time."

He briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in Zhujiazhuang, and asked his wife happily: "Tell me, have I ever opened my mouth?
As soon as I said that the gods might return the granary to Zhu Yuanwai, the granary really appeared out of thin air!
Although it was only the granary that came back, and there was no food in the granary, the staff member Zhu was so happy that he almost fainted because he found it again.

When he regained his strength, he actually took the initiative to ask me, how much taels of silver I planned to ask him to donate.

Since he asked, I was not polite, so I opened my mouth and reported 3000 taels. "

For Zhao Wenchang, who only had a few taels of silver a month, 3000 taels of silver was really a huge sum of money.

"I expected that he would bargain with me and cut the amount in half, but he didn't say anything, and asked someone to move 3000 taels of silver from his family's warehouse.

This trip went smoothly, like a dream..."

Seeing how happy Zhao Wenchang said, Madam also became happy.

She clasped her hands together and bowed, and said: "Thanks to God's blessing, my husband was able to raise his eyebrows and successfully raised money and food for disaster relief. Nearly ten thousand victims in Qingjiang County have been saved!"

Zhao Wenchang said with emotion, "Yes, we have finally raised money and food." The things we did today are finally no longer useless.

The lady said: "I cooked a bowl of lotus seed soup for my husband, would you like to have a taste?"

Zhao Wenchang smiled and nodded, "I'm just hungry, bring it to me."

Madam went to the kitchen, and within a short while, the lotus seed soup was served.

Zhao Wenchang reached out to take it, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls, obviously very hungry.

He said while eating: "You go to bed first. Don't wait for me.

I still have some to cook tonight.

I sent people to collect money and food from the rich households of the country gentry. I had to wait for them to come back, then check the amount of money and food, and watch them put into the warehouse with my own eyes. "

Madam looked at Zhao Wenchang distressedly, fearing that he might be exhausted.

Zhao Wenchang said with a smile: "Don't be like this, it's a good thing to be busy, as long as there are no more victims of starvation in Qingjiang County, what does it matter if I stay up a few nights?
I love it. "

Hearing what he said, Madam looked at him again, and the pain in her eyes turned into pride and admiration.

She was right about the man, her husband, even if the official has become smaller and smaller in the past ten years, he still has blood and sincerity, and is willing to go through fire and water for the people and shine...

That night, Zhao Wenchang was busy until dawn before closing his eyes. At three o'clock in the morning, he got up again and explained a lot of things.

After a while, the officials went to various villages with gongs and drums, passing on the latest instructions from the county magistrate.

"Starting tomorrow, ten porridge sheds will be set up at the gate of the city. People affected by the disaster can go to the gate of the city at noon every day to receive relief food with their household registration books and identification badges..."

The officials yelled around the village, found the village officials, and told them that the county magistrate will preside over the distribution of winter wheat seeds at the household Cao office at Shenshi today.

Let the Lizhengs count how many households and people are left in each village, how many fields each of these people own, and how many fields have lost their owners and have no one to cultivate...

Let them count the relevant information, take the voucher, and go to the household Cao office to collect grain seeds on time, and they will not wait when it is out of date.

Not long after the official sent away, Xinglin Village came to Fangjia Village with a box of red ink pads.

He found Jiang Erya and asked her to take out her and her father's small bamboo card, dipped the small bamboo card with ink pad, and left two marks with clear lines on a piece of white paper.

Jiang Erya looked at the two imprints and thought, this is the copy of Daqing's ID card, right?

Li Zheng explained: "This is the certificate to go to the Hucao office to get the grain seeds. Although everyone in our village has already planted the wheat seeds given by your family, there is no need to sow seeds in the ground.

But we still have to take back the grains that we should receive, and we can eat them as rations. "

Jiang Erya nodded, and was going to take Silly Xing to weed the vegetable garden in front of the new house in Xinglin Village.

This is today's daily task she has drawn.

Lizheng stopped her, "Erya, can you go with us this afternoon? I'm afraid that on the way back, someone will stare at the grain we received."

Jiang Erya turned her head and said, "Okay, call me again before you leave this afternoon."

Li Zheng said: "Your vegetable garden is so big, you can't weed it by yourself. I'll go back and ask my daughter-in-law to bring the children to help you." A few mouthfuls of snacks Erya made for Sha Xing.

Jiang Erya knew what Lizheng was thinking and didn't mind, so she just silently put a few more pieces of peanut cakes into the basket.

……

It is a major event in the village to get grain. In order to avoid being late, someone came to call Jiang Erya just after noon.

Jiang Erya handed the silly star to Jiang Erniu as usual, and left with a water bag.

Silly Xing didn't make a fuss, moved a stool obediently, sat under the eaves and waited for his little lady to come back.

In the yard, Jiang Erniu was using the wood Jiang Erya chopped to make furniture.Beside him, there are many finished and semi-finished products, as well as a pile of tools for carpentry.

Silly Xing stood up suddenly, picked up a chisel, and chiseled at the chair Jiang Erniu had made.

Jiang Erniu shouted: "Silly star, what are you doing? Put down the chisel! Don't break the chair I made!"

Silly star raised his head, pointed to the chair Jiang Erniu had finished, and said, "Ugly! It needs to be carved!"

Jiang Erniu was very upset. He was very satisfied with the chair he made, but it was rejected by a fool.

He took a closer look, and it was really ugly.

But he forcibly held back the statue: "What kind of flowers are you carving? Chairs are for sitting on, not for looking at. As long as they are strong and stable, it doesn't matter if they look good or not!"

Silly star pouted: "My wife likes good-looking ones, so I want to give her the best!"

After that, he lowered his head, hugged the chair and continued to chisel.

That silly but extremely serious look made Jiang Erniu pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Erniu sighed, and murmured to Shaxing, "If you are not stupid, and still take Erya so seriously, that would be great..."

Silly star is immersed in carvings and can't hear anything.
