Chapter 170 Five Essays a Day

Hearing Xu Lele say yes, Sister Rui laughed like a flower, and grabbed a rock candy from her small cloth pocket.

Li sewed it for her after she returned to her natal home, and she stuffed it with all the delicious and fun things her grandma and aunt gave her on weekdays.

"Wow, Sister Rui is so good." Xu Lele was long past the age of candy lovers, but she still took it while praising her. After being praised, Sister Rui raised her head high and smiled even sweeter.

"However, don't eat too much before going to bed, your teeth will be full of worms."

Xu Lele did not forget to remind her, and glanced at her small cloth pocket by the way, but saw that it was almost full of rock sugar, so she couldn't help asking, "Why is there so much sugar?"

"Hey, that brother insisted on exchanging it with Sister Rui." She tightly grasped the pocket with her small hands, as if Xu Lele would come to snatch it in the next second.

Following her gaze, Xu Lele looked at Zhang Xiaohu, the handful of rock sugar in his hand and the small piece of brown sugar she gave to Sister Rui flashed through her mind.

...do you have to change?One handful and one... Could it be that this brown sugar tastes better than rock sugar?Xu Lele was puzzled, watched Sister Rui run out, and then looked at Zhang Xiaohu who seemed to be asleep.

Well, she is really old, there is a generation gap.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Lele, accompanied by Li Daniu, rushed towards the county with the two taels of silver given by Mrs. Sun.

The grown-up men in the family are well-known at the official post, fearing that there will be troubles if there are too few people, so they can only let Li Daniu, who is already able to take care of himself, accompany her.

Zhang Xiaohu was still a little bit reluctant when he came out temporarily, if it wasn't for Mrs. Sun and the others coaxing him, Xu Lele would not be able to get out.

Thinking of this, Xu Lele laughed and shook her head, why did she have the same accent as Sister Rui.

This time when entering the city, Xu Lele found that there were fewer refugees at the gate. Could it be that they all went to the nearby villages to grab food?

Of course, she soon realized that this idea was a bit too much.

In the place where the information of entering the city was registered before, several more notices were posted on the bluestone brick wall.

Someone was reading aloud there, surrounded by several sloppy refugees, who looked almost like beggars.

"...five essays a day, if you are willing to sign up, you can come here to register!"

Xu Lele just heard the last sentence, what five essays a day?

"Really? As long as you participate in the autumn harvest, one person can have five coins?"

"Wuwen can buy two big steamed buns!"

"I want to sign up!"

"And I!"

...For a moment, the tired-looking refugees all showed hope and rushed forward to register, so that Xu Lele and others who wanted to register in the city were pushed aside.

"What's going on?" Xu Lele asked casually to the man driving the ox cart, the one pulling the cart today is not Uncle Yu, she is not familiar with her so she didn't speak on the road.

"Oh, the notice issued yesterday afternoon, recruiting people to work in the autumn harvest, five cents per person."

After speaking, the man saw Li Daniu and the people in the car looking eager to try, and said: "We don't recruit those near us, but only those who escaped from the famine. It can be regarded as giving those people a bite to eat."

"Then where do you get the money?" Someone asked curiously.

"Of course it's the yamen, this is a notice from our county lord." The man said.

All of a sudden, the words that the county lord is wise and martial, the county lord is kind, and the county lord is a living Bodhisattva rang out one after another.

Although Xu Lele was impatient to hear this, he had to say that the county lord's method was really good, much better than simply giving away porridge. At least he didn't have to sacrifice his dignity, he just had to sell his labor.
