Dao fruit.

"God bless you, the whole family is safe."

After bending over to worship God, Yang Chi straightened up, turned around and walked towards the back room.

The house is small, with only a lobby and a back room, with a few crooked beds in the room.

A famous woman was leaning on a bed. Her face was old, her hair was half white, her clothes were patched, and her hands covered with calluses were tucked into her sleeves—it was early spring, and the weather was still It was very cold, and the woman was wearing thin clothes. Even when she was asleep, she still instinctively wanted to resist the cold.

Lifting the curtain and walking into the back room, Yang Chi saw the woman's appearance, his heart trembled slightly, and his nose was a little sore.

Although his footsteps were light, the woman still heard them. She opened her eyes, her eyes were dazed, and it took a long time before she could focus. When she saw Yang Chi's appearance clearly, she was about to get up immediately.

"Chi'er is back. My mother didn't feel refreshed in the afternoon. She lay on the bed for a while and fell asleep at some point." The woman slowly got up, her face was full of exhaustion, "My son will sit down first. After the meeting, someone gave Qingwa two pieces of taro at noon, he ate half of it, and the remaining half is for you, I will heat it up for you, and there is a whole piece left, waiting for you to cook it yourself."

"Taro?" Yang Chi was taken aback, then nodded, "Well, I have learned the craft from Master Wang, and I pay homage to the Kitchen God every day. I think I will improve my culinary skills, and I will satisfy my third brother tomorrow."

Although taro is common, Yang Chi’s family didn’t even have a piece of land after his father was convicted, let alone taro. There is no working class these days, and even the private handicraft industry is in the ascendant. If you have no land in your family, you have no roots. I can't even straighten my waist when I go out, and my mother-in-law and aunt can't ask for it.

Seeing his mother getting up in a hurry, Yang Chi stepped forward quickly, first helping her.Then he handed over the money bag, and said in his mouth: "Mother, don't worry, the child is not hungry. Today, the boss saw my hard work and paid the wages. You can order some to supplement the family."

"Wages paid?" The woman was overjoyed when she heard the words, and took the money bag over, "The current boss is much better than the old one." She said.She took out a few copper plates and put them beside her pillow, but handed the rest back, "Bury the rest, and after a while, I can buy some land for our family to open up wasteland, ahem..."

While talking, the woman suddenly coughed.His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he looked out of breath.

Yang Chi was startled suddenly, and he helped his mother stroke her chest and beat her back, and it took a while to calm down.Then the woman ignored Yang Chi's dissuasion, insisted on getting up, and went to warm him up.

Looking at his mother's stumbling back, Yang Chi clenched his fists.

"Tomorrow. We must find a job, or else..."

Boom!

Just as Yang Chi was making up his mind, there was a dull crash in the yard.Then came the woman's scream.

"What's going on?" Yang Chi was startled, and rushed out, but what he saw was the scene of a woman helping a young man to get up.

"Third brother?"

Taking a closer look, Yang Chi recognized the young man's identity. It was his brother Yang Qing. Just looking at his tattered clothes and scars on his face made him feel ominous.

"elder brother……"

Yang Qing looked up, struggled to get up, and said to the woman beside him, "Mother, don't worry, I was climbing a tree with Guawa and the others at the head of the village, and I fell down!"

"Why are you so careless? How long will it take to recover?" The woman looked distressed, with tears in her eyes. Their family was too poor. They couldn't afford the medical center and doctors in Jiannan City. At most, they could find some Barefoot doctor, buy some plasters, but where can I find them now?

"Okay, mother, don't you think I'm fine?" Yang Qing endured the pain and jumped on the spot twice. Although the wound was pulled, but because he was afraid that his mother would worry, he held back.

The woman was worried, but there was nothing she could do, so she ordered Yang Chi to take care of her, walked to the corner of the courtyard, and squatted on the ground. This is where the stove is located. When the woman came to the stove, she didn't do anything directly. Two prayers, and then the fire.

On the other side, Yang Chi originally planned to go over to make a fire and let his mother rest, but seeing his younger brother's appearance, he changed his mind. With a gloomy face, he pulled Yang Qing into the room, closed the door, and walked towards the table. Sit on the chair next to you.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Yang Qing was grinning because of the wound on his body, when he heard this sentence, he immediately settled down and murmured.

Rendu Dao elder brother is like a father, the father of the Yang brothers served in the city garrison, died of illness due to frailty, Yang Chi became the head of the Yang family.

You must know that there is a strict system for the distribution and exile of Da Rui. In a state, it is not allowed to go on the road at the same time, more than five people cannot be in the same place, and more than ten people cannot be in the same prefecture.

Yang Qing's father, originally a minor official with some power, was implicated by his superior's misfortune and was exiled into the army. None of his colleagues who were convicted at the same time went the same way, only his family members accompanied him. , the Yang family naturally had no one to help them, and they were struggling.

Moreover, this family is still unable to return to their original place of origin, because in order to manage the assignees, Darui has prepared detailed files and name books. Not only the name must be recorded, but also the age, crimes, and previous offenses must be recorded one by one. , even if Father Yang died, his son could not leave.

In fact, Darui's criminal law has always advocated filial piety, and the old man who died of illness and the partner criminal who has no adult male in the family will be dealt with at a lower level. That's why the Yang family was able to settle in the capital of Jiannan Road. The entire Yang family was in trouble.

It stands to reason that the food and clothing of the assignees must be provided by the government. After Yang's father died, he should have received a pension, but he was cut off, leaving the orphans and widows without food and clothing.

Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the whole world, but because the third son, Yang Qing, offended the villain, the Yang family was troubled by others, so he failed to return to his hometown, and even the second son was lost.Of course, even if they went back, their family's land would have been completely divided by the clan long ago, but the situation could somewhat turn around.

The difficulties in the family made the two children of the Yang family bear the burden of the family, but compared to the prudent Yang Chi, Yang Qing acted erratically and eclecticly, which caused several troubles and cost a lot of money. It took a little effort to subside, and the sequelae still have an impact until now.

Right now, seeing Yang Qing's appearance, Yang Chi instinctively felt that something was about to happen.

"elder brother……"

Yang Qing looked around cautiously, then took two steps forward, took out a bag from his bosom, his hands holding the bag trembled slightly.

He came to the table, turned the bag upside down, and two small silver pancakes fell out.

Boom!Boom!

With two sounds in a row, the silver cake turned around on the table, and then lay quietly on the table.

silence!

The whole room fell into silence. Not long after, the sound of heavy breathing became more and more obvious, but it was Yang Chi who was panting violently.

After a while, he managed to calm down, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did this come from?"

Yang Qing bowed his head and said: "Brother, don't ask, with these two pieces of silver cakes, our family can afford to buy land! If you follow your method, when will you save enough money?"

Whoops!

Here, as soon as Yang Qing's voice fell, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside the door. The sound seemed to be made when the fence of the Yang family was pushed down and broken.

Afterwards, Mother Yang's scream came, and the Yang brothers all changed their colors and rushed outside. When they opened the door, they saw a few tall and burly figures!

But Mother Yang, at this moment, was curled up and lying on the ground.

"Mother!" Yang Chi and Yang Qing ran over in alarm, one helped up their mother, and the other glared at the visitor.

"Which one is Yang Qing?"

A voice came, followed by a young man in a straight robe stepping out.

As soon as his voice fell, a thin old man nodded and followed him, with a flattering smile on his face, and pointed out Yang Qing.

"Uncle Li, what are you...!" Yang Chi immediately became angry when he saw the old man!

This old man is no stranger to him, he lives at the head of the village, he is considered the elder of the village.

Hearing this, Uncle Li's humility disappeared: "How dare you call me the old man? Don't ask your younger brother. He sneaked around all day, and today he went to the old man's field and took a few pieces of taro."

"Are you stealing again?" Yang Chi had an idea when he heard this, and looked at his younger brother with an expression of indignation.

"I..." Yang Qing's eyes were evasive, "I wanted to find you today, but I saw the dispute between you and the boss..."

"You know!" Yang Chi's heart was shocked, knowing that he was fired, and Yang Qing saw it, "That can't be..."

clap clap clap!

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of clapping hands. The young man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a bitter scene, what a respectful brother and friend, but I don't care about your affairs at all. Don't care."

"This is Officer Liu from the Jiannan Garrison, and he's here to recover the money." Uncle Li said carefully beside him, looking flattering.

"You are a military officer at such a young age, so you must have a good background." Yang Chi was startled at first, then remembered the two pieces of silver pancakes in the room, and whispered that something was wrong, but before he could tell, two strong men came up, Capture Yang Qing!

Then, someone pushed the door open again and entered the room, and amidst the sound of tumbling, took out two pieces of silver cakes.

"These two pieces of silver cakes are nothing at all," Liu Yaguan shook his head, "but not everyone can take my son's things. Those two people worked for me, but you stole the money and went to , cannot be easily exposed, and must be explained.”

When he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two people walked out behind him, wanting to get Yang's mother. Teeth, bleeding from the mouth!

"stop!"

The Yang family brothers' eyes were about to burst, and each of them had an extremely strong thought, wanting to tear the few people in front of them to pieces!

shock!

Inside the house, the statue of the Kitchen God trembled slightly. (to be continued...)
