Chapter 80
"You're right, we're going to buy some more food in the next town, and we don't know the specifics of the road ahead, so we'll be prepared."
Father Xia calculated in his mind how much food he had consumed along the way, and how long he could help the villagers according to his ability.
He is not a saint who cares about his own life and death in order to help others. Every penny and silver in the family is earned by the family's hard work and greedy day and night.
He can't use the family's hard-earned money to support the villagers generously. It's not worth it to chill the hearts of the family.
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait for a moment, and said to Xia Lao Dao, "Look at the team, I'll go ahead and discuss something with the village chief."
"Okay, Dad, you can go, I'm here." Xia Qingshan responded casually.
He didn't know what father Xia was discussing with the village head, but he was used to obeying his father's words since he was a child.
Father Xia caught up with the village head in front of the team.
When the village chief saw him catching up, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he took the lead to ask, "Dun Hou, why did you catch up, what do you need from me?"
"Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you."
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, and don't see each other with me."
Father Xia murmured in his mind, "Village Chief, now that we have crossed the river, the geographical environment here is very good, and in addition to the fact that everything is flourishing in early summer, wild vegetables are everywhere, so I am thinking about our next food supply. We must save food as much as possible. Otherwise, even if we find a place to settle down, it will take a few months before the harvest season comes."
The village chief was silent for a moment, and then he understood the hidden meaning of Father Xia.
He nodded solemnly: "Dun Hou, I understand what you mean. In life, you can't rely on others for anything. It's good to have someone to help you when you encounter difficulties, but you can't rely on others to help you. You have to work hard yourself. "
"Village chief, me." Father Xia's expression was not good.
The village chief raised his hand and interrupted him, "I didn't mean to blame you, I understand your embarrassment, how about this, leave the next thing to me, just tell me your plan, so I can do it next make arrangements."
Father Xia felt a little better after hearing what the village chief said, and he didn't harden his heart to ignore the villagers. Compared to everyone's family, their family was indeed richer than theirs, but he didn't want to raise enemies.
So the decision should be made. "There are 120 households in our village. Even if each family has a catty of grain a day, we need 120 catties of grain. In the long run, our family will struggle to provide for it."
"I came out of the village, and I belong to the clan with everyone, and I can't ignore the relationship between the clan. From now on, I will provide everyone with food every day, but it will be reduced from one catty per day to half a catty per family. If you take time to dig some wild vegetables and eat them together If the whole family doesn’t say they are full, at least they won’t starve to death like other villagers.”
"Of course, after I settle down in Di'an, I will no longer provide food, and everything will have to be fought by the villagers themselves."
Father Xia was also reminding the village head that if Xia Dunhou hadn't been taking care of the people along the way, many people might have died along the way.
The village chief sighed, "Everyone is grateful for your care along the way. Without the supplies you will bring from home to support everyone, the whole village, old and young, cannot come here safely. Everyone knows your dedication and your kindness. Forget it. You don’t need to come forward for the next thing, I will communicate with you.”
He was thinking about it just now, but in fact, Xia Dunhou did not owe the villagers anything. He was able to help everyone with his family wealth, and he had done his best, so he couldn't ask for too much.
Father Xia saw that the village head's attitude was acceptable, so he nodded and slowed down a bit. He waited for his family's carriage to arrive before he jumped into the carriage and entered the carriage.
"Why do you think of riding with us today?"
Mrs. Chen was sitting in the carriage with several young grandchildren and great-granddaughters. When she saw her husband get into the carriage, she felt suspicious. Why did her husband, who rarely rides in a carriage, get in?
"I'm tired from walking, I'll take a rest."
Father Xia took his only great-granddaughter Tiantian into his arms, leaned against the carriage wall and closed his eyes to rest.
When Mrs. Chen saw her little granddaughter sitting in his arms, neither crying nor fussing, she followed their grandfather and grandson too.
When the team rested in the evening of this day, the village head asked everyone to find a place to set up camp half an hour earlier, and sent twice as many people as usual to dig wild vegetables.
At dinner time, everyone noticed that the usual wild vegetable porridge and pancakes had more food and less wild vegetables, but this time it was just the opposite, with more wild vegetables and less food.
Looking at the green wild vegetable porridge in the pot, many people's faces turned green.
Some villagers couldn't help asking: "Village chief, is there not enough food in the village?"
The other villagers sat aside with bowls in their hands, listening to what the village chief had to say.
The village chief took a sip of wild vegetable porridge, endured the bitterness in his mouth, and nodded expressionlessly: "Well, there is not much food."
The village head's wife already knew about Daddy Xia's decision during the day, and now she helped her man, and said, "The food didn't fall from the sky, it was actually brought out by the Dunhou family, why don't you feel worried about how much you eat?" Points? Did you notice that there was a little less in the pot today?”
The villagers sitting by the cauldron twitched their mouths slightly. The food in the pot was not a little less, but a lot.
Some villagers were so hungry that they took a sip of porridge with wild vegetables, and the bitterness overflowed in their mouths, tears almost burst out!
too bitter!
I didn't think it was a bit difficult to adapt to the days of eating porridge with wild vegetables because of the food supply from Dunhou's family during this period of fleeing famine!
"Don't put on such a bitter face. You don't owe anyone anything. Now, Dun Hou is willing to provide some food to the village, so you can enjoy it secretly. Without his supply, you can only eat food every day." Eat grass directly!"
With a dry mouth, the village head's daughter-in-law picked up the bowl in her hand and took a sip.
Hang it!
My brows almost knotted!
But she thought that she was educating others at this time, and the two eyebrows that she wanted to knot, phew!
Stretch out abruptly!
As the person next to him, the village chief certainly knew the pain in his daughter-in-law's heart. He tried his best to hold back his smile, and buried his head in the bowl.
A moment of suffering is passed by gritting one's teeth, and suffering slowly is adding to the suffering.
The village chief gritted his teeth and poured all the porridge in the bowl into his stomach in one go.
Now there was a bitter taste in his throat, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Someone found the village chief wrinkled into a chrysanthemum face and asked deliberately: "Village chief, how does it taste?"
The village chief originally wanted to get up and get a bowl of water to rinse his mouth, but when the villagers asked him, he immediately dismissed the idea.
He simply choked out two words, "Shang Ke!"
"The village chief made a move. This is to lead everyone to live a life of reminiscing bitterness and thinking sweetly."
"I'll try it too."
The speaker took a big mouthful of wild vegetable porridge, his eyes and nose wrinkled together.
"Ha ha."
Everyone else was amused!
The village chief grinned unconsciously.
"Okay." The village chief's wife patted him, "Grinning your teeth, don't you know that you have green leaves stuck in your front teeth? Hurry up and rinse your mouth!"
The village chief's smile faltered: "."
This stinky bitch didn't say anything earlier, but now she's calmed down, and she's slapping him in front of the villagers again.
