Female supporting role in the lean years: eating melon with the front foot, counterattack with the b

Chapter 35

Song Yunxi was a little surprised when she looked at Tao's father, who had always been stern in front of them, as if he was a different person now.

The flattering Song Yunxi felt bad, and her world view seemed to be hurt.

After all, Song Yunxi is not a smooth character, otherwise how could she become the team leader at the age of 30 based on her abilities.

It's not because she doesn't bother to pat her hair and flatter her.She has always felt that gold will always shine.

"Master Tao is a sensible person. No wonder Brother Zhong Bai likes you so much." Master Wang was very satisfied with how Master Tao was doing. He was much better than the idiot from the next county.

Now that I have entered the officialdom, I still want to play with the breeze, but I don't want to be upright.This young man is really ignorant, he will definitely teach him a lesson.

"Everyone is promoted by a young master. It's just a matter of being lucky enough to be appreciated by the young master." Tao's father said modestly.

"Master Tao is too humble. It's not a matter of ability to win the praise of any young master. I want to be associated with that one a lot, how many people can be praised by him?" Master Wang said with a smile.

"I often hear the young master mention that the adults are very safe in handling things. There is never any problem when the adults take action." Mr. Tao said with a flattering smile.

Lord Wang straightened his body with some pride after hearing this. After all, this is his identity.Who doesn’t know him if he has some connections?

"If you come to me for help in the future, I will give you some face in this case. You can rest assured about the smallest things."

After all, thousand-year-old ginseng is somewhat rare, and he didn't expect such a good thing to exist in this small place.

Song Yunxi complained in her heart, "You can rest assured about small things, but don't come to me for big things."

Obviously, Tao's father understood better than Song Yunxi, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your kindness."

"Yunxi! Go and see if your mother and the others are ready." Tao's father ordered Song Yunxi, who was standing as an invisible man.

"Hey, I'm going right now." Song Yunxi responded and quickly ran to the kitchen. Mr. Song was lighting the fire, and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Tao were preparing meals.

"Erya, why don't you wait in front?" Mrs. Tao asked hurriedly when she saw her daughter running over.

"Grandpa said he would like to see if the food is ready." Song Yunxi said quickly.

Looking at the old hen in the pot, Song Yunxi felt distressed. After all, she had fed the old hen little by little during this period.

Even though people are almost out of water, they still share some of it, and they are not willing to kill in such a difficult situation.This is the last chicken in the family.

The chicken is made with Song Yunxi's dried beans and some condiments. This method was learned by Tao and Song Yunxi.

"Okay, Erya, please serve it. Dad, have you finished sifting the cornmeal?" Tao hurriedly asked Mr. Song, who was squatting to light the fire.

"Sifted it, sifted it three times. It will definitely not hurt your throat." Mr. Song said hurriedly.

"That's fine. Officials are all delicate and have to be taken care of. If it weren't for my in-laws, how could our family have such a big official! I heard that he is a big official from the capital, which is incredible." Old Mrs. Song said with some excitement .

Song Yunxi looked a little funny, but also a little sad. Although there was some food in the house, no one knew when the drought would end.

The food in the fields has withered. Although Rongshu Village is better than elsewhere, there was a disguised reminder from Father Song before.But it doesn’t exist elsewhere!

Nowadays, when everyone goes out, several strong men go out together, and women at home rarely even step out of the door.I usually only do laundry and work and walk around the village, but I never dare to step out of the village.

Everyone patrolled the entrance of the village together, for fear of someone breaking into the village.It's okay if the food is gone, but I'm afraid people will be taken away too.

Song Yunxi couldn't help but turn pale when she thought of the strong smell of meat that wafted from the next village from time to time.She once thought that cannibalism was just a rumor, but only now did she know that it wasn't.During times of famine, people are more terrifying than disasters. Many of them did not die in the famine, but died in the hands of the people they once trusted the most.Sometimes it is not a kind of irony.

I thought about what I heard my aunts talking about when they were working, about the exchange of girls in the village next door.

Looking at it again, because the imperial envoy came to the house and basically used all the things that could be used to entertain people, it was inevitable that I felt a little sad.

Is it true that the upper class people don't care about the life and death of civilians like them, but only care about the benefits that their misery can bring to them.

She didn't want to be so extreme, but what she saw during this period really made this girl from the 21st century feel horrified.

Only then did I realize how happy it is to live in an era of peace, prosperity, and democracy.

When you feel that life is difficult, you realize that your previous worries are really not worth mentioning.

At the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart that she would make money, lots and lots of money, when this famine was over.

That way she won't be so helpless when encountering such a thing, and she can help those in need.

"Erya, what are you doing? Why don't you move when I ask you to serve the chicken?" Mrs. Tao, who was pasting the pancakes, looked curiously at Song Yunxi, who was staring at the chicken soup without knowing what he was thinking.

"Do you want to eat Erya too? When the weather gets better and the milk comes out, I'll raise a few of them and give them to Erya."

Mrs. Song touched Song Yunxi's head lovingly. It felt uncomfortable to touch her head with her skinny hands, but Song Yunxi still couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.She smiled and said "Thank you for the milk." Then she took the chicken to the main room and put it on the table.

"Hey, the food here is not bad. There are also chickens." Mr. Wang said with some surprise.

"Sir, this is the last chicken. There is nothing to entertain the common people at home.

As long as you don't mind being shabby, there really isn't much good in this situation. "

The worried granddaughter thought about it and decided to follow. Mr. Song humbly bent down and said with a smile.

Song Yunxi was already unhappy but now she felt even more unhappy, but she didn't dare to express it.Even if she wasn't afraid of death, she was still afraid of hurting her family.

"This is much better than I thought. Don't be restrained, old man." Mr. Wang still disdained to argue with ordinary people, and after all, he is Mr. Tao's in-laws. He will naturally look good after receiving so many benefits.

"Hey, thank you, sir. It's good for the adults to eat the cake first." Mr. Song touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead and left hurriedly.

"My dear, this is indeed a majestic man from the capital!" Mr. Song said with emotion as soon as he entered the kitchen.

"That's not true. How could you be lucky enough to meet such a noble person if he hadn't dragged down your daughter-in-law's fortune?" Mrs. Song glared at Mr. Song angrily.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am lucky to be able to marry my husband." Mrs. Tao replied pretending to be embarrassed.

Although Mrs. Song didn't say anything, she was still very happy in her heart.She doesn't want to have so many daughters-in-law, she likes her the most.

Mr. Song didn't think much about it, but agreed, "Mrs. Tao is a lucky person. It can be said that good things have continued in our family since she came into the house."

Mrs. Song thought that this was indeed the case. Mrs. Tao gave birth to the eldest grandson in the family. The year Yunxi was born, her third son received the support of his father-in-law and entered the most difficult academy to enter.

Now that her father has become the county magistrate, I heard that her brother is also a Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, although he is only a minor official!

After all, he is still in the capital. If San'er is really admitted, he will have someone to help him in the future.

The wife here is so well married!
