Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

The two brothers followed the clan leader and village chief and walked to Cheng Dazhu and his wife.

Cheng Dazhu handed over the cassava without the patriarch or village chief asking, "Chief, village chief, you are here. Look, this is a food I encountered when I was a businessman when I was young. It's called cassava." There were quite a few found in the mountains and wild boars were munching on the cassava when they found it.”

"That means it's definitely edible." The village chief said firmly.

The patriarch asked: "How many are there?"

"I don't know yet, but my grandson said it should be quite a lot."

The village chief patted his arm gratefully, "Dazhu, you are a good person, and your children and grandchildren are also good children. If you are willing to share cassava with everyone, everyone will be grateful to you. Your family saved everyone's life." Life."

"The village chief's words are serious. We are all members of a village and a family. We can't just care about our own life and death, regardless of the village and the clan." Cheng Dazhu said with a smile, "Fleeing all the way, the clan's unity prevented others from attacking us. It’s the Cheng family’s idea, and I also hope that we can all reach our destination.”

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, when the cassava is dug out, one-third will be given to you first; the rest will be distributed to other tribesmen, so you won't suffer any loss." The village chief beamed with joy, as if he had seen the village Everyone has enough to eat and has the strength to go on the road.

Cheng Dazhu smiled softly and did not refuse.

The clan leader smiled happily and said, "In that case, we will go back and call the strong men in the clan to go up the mountain together; however, with the strong men gone, it will not be safe for the old, weak, women and children to be left behind."

"It doesn't have to be strong men. Half of the strong men will go up the mountain together, and half of the women who can work more comfortably will go with them. In this way, the old, weak, women and children in our clan will be protected, and they can go up the mountain to dig cassava without delay." The village chief agreed. Decide.

The patriarch also had no objection, "Then Dazhu is going with us. It was your family who discovered the sweet potato, and we will need your family to lead the way."

"This is easy to say. My eldest grandson Mingyi knows the way."

"Then just call Mingyi."

"Okay." After achieving his goal, Cheng Dazhu's smile softened, "Mingyi, come here."

Cheng Mingyi glanced around, said goodbye to his brothers and walked forward quickly, "Grandfather, father, third uncle, clan leader, and village chief."

"You brothers discovered cassava together, and we need someone to lead us up the mountain." Cheng Dazhu got straight to the point.

"My grandson is willing." Cheng Mingyi smiled and nodded.

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "Good boy, I won't treat you badly."

Cheng Mingyi only smiled and said nothing.

A group of people summoned the leaders of the clan to come over for a meeting. After saying a few words, the family gathered a few people to go up the mountain. With Cheng Mingyi leading the way, they quickly found the place and took out various tools they carried with them, such as sickles. , hoes and other crop tools to start digging cassava.

They were careful when digging, for fear of getting injured; undamaged cassava can be stored for a long time, but damaged ones are easy to rot; if packed together, other good cassava may also rot.

The clan leader was helping, paying attention to the surrounding environment and directing everyone to take action.

The village chief stayed in the clan as the backbone.

After digging for more than an hour, we dug out all the cassava we could see and put it into sacks. Each of the men carried a bag, and two women carried a bag. They hurriedly and slowly arrived at the road at the foot of the mountain. The village chief had been watching for a long time. I saw them at a glance.He strode forward to greet them, looked at the sacks they were carrying, and grinned happily.

"So many!!"

"It's not too much, but it's not too little either." The clan leader nodded, and the smile on his face never faded. "There are a total of fifteen sacks, each of which is about [-] kilograms. Let's divide it into five sacks first. Zhu family, the remaining ten sacks of cassava will be distributed to the clan members."

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "That's how it should be."

Cheng Dazhu heard that five sacks equaled five hundred kilograms. Even if the kilograms were a little less, it wouldn't be much less. There were only fifteen sacks in total. It would be outrageous for him to divide them into five sacks. He shook his head and refused.

"Village chief, clan chief, just give my family two sacks. There are more than 30 families in the clan. If my family gets too much, other families can't get much. Every family has contributed, and we can't let everyone suffer because of my family."

If a family wants to be united, the elders of each family must set their minds straight; they must not hesitate when it comes to making a choice. Food is not a trivial matter when it comes to escaping from famine, so he must not be greedy.

"In this case, your family will suffer a big loss. Moreover, you have agreed in advance. How can you go back on your word?" Both the clan leader and the village chief did not agree with this approach, and they were afraid of emboldening the hearts of the clan members.

Cheng Dazhu shook his head, "We really can't collect so much. It's a difficult time for the clan. I saw before that several families had no food left. If they were really short of food, they wouldn't be able to travel. It doesn't matter if they suffer a small loss now. After all, they have saved their lives. clansman.”

Cheng Dazhu's words were sincere. The clan leader and village chief looked at each other, but they did not try to persuade him any more. He only asked people to keep two bags and take other people to share among the clan.

When dividing, the clan leader and village chief repeatedly emphasized that the cassava was discovered by Cheng Dazhu's family; they only took two bags, instead of the originally agreed upon five bags. Cheng Dazhu considered that everyone is from the same family and should support each other on the road.

"Everyone must remember the Cheng Dazhu family's love for everyone, and hope that everyone can learn from Cheng Dazhu; everyone must understand that in times of crisis, only clan members can be relied upon, and only clan unity can overcome difficulties." The clan leader said sincerely. The older tribesmen nodded frequently, and the younger ones also had some feelings; only a few of the younger people felt it, but these words planted a seed in everyone's hearts. Even if the escape is over, they will remember the journey along the way. of hardship.

And the experience of tribesmen supporting each other.

This will be engraved in their bones, and the importance of the clan will be engraved in their bones and blood.

Cheng Mingyi stood in the distance and watched the speech of the clan leader. He had to say that being the head of a clan meant something. If the clan leader didn't say this, few people would understand these principles. For the sake of the clan leader, he smashed the principles to pieces. Leave it to the tribe.

Instill the importance of clan in the clan members. Only by uniting can the clan members be united and not afraid of hardships and dangers. No matter how difficult a family is, as long as the clan is there and the clan members help, the clan can overcome it no matter how difficult it is.

"Patriarch, don't worry, we will never forget Uncle Dazhu's kindness to us."

"Correct."

"Uncle Dazhu really had nothing to say to us. When my boy fell from a tree, we had no money to treat him. As soon as he heard that our family was in trouble, he didn't even let us speak, so he sent us two taels of silver. Now, my family has been Remember them all.”

"My family is the same. When does Uncle Dazhu refuse to help any of us when he has a problem? I will help him if he can."

"There is so much food, but Uncle Dazhu is kind-hearted and willing to let it go."

Not everyone in the clan is selfless, and some people see something different in Cheng Dazhu; they may not understand it at first, but they will figure it out after the clan leader prompts him.

No one can take care of himself in this world, and those who take care of themselves will eventually be "taken care of themselves" by everyone.
