Chapter 107

The last one was the one Liu Qingcao noticed from the very beginning.

He stood in front of her, lowered his head, and washed his hands carefully, not in a hurry.

After he finished washing, Liu Qingcao glanced at him and poured out the water.

Qi Sanshan slowed down and glanced at Liu Qingcao from the corner of his eye.

The person who ate first in front had already finished eating, and waited aside, his eyes kept looking around, curiosity, envy, anticipation, and anxiety flashed in the eyes of each of them.

After Qi Sanshan finished his meal, he silently walked beside them, leaning against the wall, squinting his eyes, expressionless.

"Brother Jiang, let's talk." Liu Qingcao and Chen Cuizhi walked over after clearing the table.

Jiang Dafu looked at the group of beggar-like children and cleared his throat.

"Kids, take it easy..."

"Wow……"

"..."

Before Jiang Dafu could finish speaking, several girls cried "Wow".

Liu Qingcao looked at Jiang Dafu's tall figure, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that Jiang Dafu's torso scares people enough from the very beginning.

Jiang Dafu frowned and shook his head helplessly.

Tian Lin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, smiled and said:
"Let me come, your tall body will inevitably scare them."

Jiang Dafu sighed, walked aside, and secretly looked at himself.

Tian Lin's body is not as strong as Jiang Dafu's, and he doesn't look so scary. In addition, he just let them out for dinner, these children are inexplicably more kind and trusting to him.

"Hey, don't cry, a girl won't be pretty if she cries too much."

Tian Lin comforted her softly, and the little girls stopped crying as soon as they heard that they were not pretty, but the tears in their eyes kept gushing out.

Tian Lin patted their heads, smiled, and continued talking.

"Children, do you know that what you are digging is the crops we planted?"

"Know……"

The little girl in front of Tian Lin glanced at him cautiously, and after waiting for a while, she spoke timidly again.

Because of crying just now, her red eyes are full of guilt, making her look extraordinarily pitiful and innocent

Tian Lin touched her head, then turned to look at another little girl.

"What about you, kid?"

"I, I know too."

After the little girl finished speaking, her mouth narrowed and she was about to cry again. Tian Lin immediately touched her face to comfort her.

"Do you know that we spent a month digging the soil to plant those seeds, and this is also the tax money for our village next year.

Do you know that if you eat one catty of this seed, you have eaten two hundred coins. You must not know how much two hundred coins are. The eggs you ate just now, you know? "

Tian Lin paused, looked softly at the children in front of him, and waited for their answers.

After a while, these children began to nod their heads one after another, and Tian Lin started to tell them without much hesitation.

"Two hundred Wen can be exchanged for one hundred eggs. If you eat one a day, you can eat it all winter."

"Two hundred wen per catty, to eat all winter?" Yu Hong widened his eyes after hearing this, and looked at Tian Lin in disbelief.

Tian Lin nodded resolutely. They didn't know these children. During this period of time, how much heartache they felt for those potato seeds that were dug up. Even their own daughter-in-law hid in bed and cried at night.

But they are children, they are very hungry and looking for food, what can they do, they can only educate them in this way, and then follow what Liu Qingcao said.

Otherwise, they will be very hungry and have nothing to eat, and they will come back in the end, no matter how much it is worth.

"Yeah, you are still young and don't understand, we don't blame you, but you can't do this in the future, no matter whether the seeds in this field are valuable or not, you can't go digging them, they belong to someone, if you meet It's someone else, and if caught, they will be beaten."

Looking at these children, Tian Lin couldn't bear it. He was about to say that they would kill them, but changed his words instead.

After listening to those children, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Tian Lin sighed, walked behind Jiang Dafu, and signaled that he had finished speaking, and it was his turn to speak next.

Jiang Dafu nodded, and took two steps forward. Those children were still a little scared of him, but they were much better than at the beginning, at least they didn't cry.

"Children, I know you didn't do this on purpose, you were too hungry, but it's not right.

It's only autumn, and there are still a few months before winter. You can't go digging other people's land all the time, and there isn't that much land for you, and you will still starve. "

Jiang Dafu was afraid that they would not understand, so he stopped for a while, and then spoke again.

"Children, let me ask you, do you want to have food every day?"

Jiang Dafu looked at the group of children, his eyes swept over their dirty faces.

"Sanshan, what do you mean by him?" Yu Hong quietly approached Qi Sanshan and whispered in his ear.

Qi Sanshan kept his eyes on Liu Qingcao, he was very curious about Liu Qingcao, he could clearly feel that she was the real leader here.

"That's what you think it means." Qi Sanshan didn't look at Yu Hong too much, and replied concisely.

After hearing this, Yu Hong frowned slightly. Is it really what he thought?

"Children, don't you want to have food every day?" Jiang Dafu asked gently.

After waiting for a while, a weak voice sounded.

"I think……"

"no yet?"

"Yes, I also want to..."

……

"That's fine. From then on, you will follow Sister Qingcao and help her work, and she will pay you wages."

Jiang Dafu pointed to Liu Qingcao, and the group of children all looked at her. Liu Qingcao raised the corner of her mouth and showed a bright smile.

Jiang Dafu nodded and continued to speak.

"Five cents a day can buy several steamed buns. The children in our village are as old as you and help with the work. Now they can eat enough and save some money."

When Jiang Dafu thought of Mao Mao and the others, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. No one in their village would starve to death now.

"Sanshan, are you listening?" Seeing his absent-minded look, Yu Hong bumped his arm secretly.

Qi Sanshan turned his head, his gaze sank, and he spoke lightly.

"I heard that, what he said is right. If we go on like this, we won't be able to survive the winter. In the past few years, we escaped by chance. This year, we are not in good health. I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."

"Then, what shall we do, stay?" Yu Hong asked tentatively.

"At present, this is the best way." Qi Sanshan looked at the woman in front of him, and replied in a positive voice.

Yu Hong looked at Qi Sanshan, was silent for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Dafu, his voice was firm and loud.

"Village chief, I will work to earn wages!"

"Okay!" Jiang Dafu looked at him approvingly, thinking that this kid is not bad.

As soon as Yu Hong's voice sounded, the other children looked at him one after another. Seeing him nodding to them, they all asked to come to work to earn wages.

Seeing this, Jiang Dafu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to talk a little longer, but he didn't expect it to be that difficult. Even at the beginning, a little accident happened, which made him doubt himself a little.

Liu Qingcao and Tian Lin were on the side, seeing the result, smiles appeared on their faces.
