Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, this winter is coming to the end of the season.

Jiang Li and Tian Lin have taken over Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village for half a month.

At this time, the day was approaching the Spring Festival, and every household was preparing the New Year’s goods in advance. In the factory shed area and wasteland, Liu Qingcao had stopped working at the moment, and everyone was asked to go back and prepare for the New Year.

In a newly built house in Shiqing Village, a man was boiling water and cooking in the kitchen, while another man was comforting a group of children. In the cold winter, the two of them were so busy that they were in full swing.

"Linzi, the porridge is ready, hurry up and help."

Jiang Li came out of the kitchen, his face was smeared with firewood ash, only a pair of black and white eyes remained, which looked extraordinarily clean and bright on a dark and dirty face.

Holding a bucket of porridge that had just been made out of the pot, he stood at the door against the light and said to Tian Lin inside.

Tian Lin turned around, and was blinded by the light coming in from the door. He rubbed his blurred eyes and squatted up from the ground.

"I've got everything ready, you share the porridge with them first, and I'll bring the rest of the porridge over."

"Okay, then go quickly, I'll share it with them first." Jiang Li nodded, put the bucket in his hand on the table, picked up the spoon, and started making porridge for the children on the straw mat.

When the big pot of gruel was divided, the foreheads of the two were already covered with fine beads of sweat.

The corners of Tian Lin's mouth were slightly pursed, and his footsteps were slightly messy when he went out the door. Jiang Li glanced at the child who was huddled in the grass cloth pile, and followed Tian Lin out of the house.

In the hall, Tian Lin and Jiang Li were silent for a long time, looked at each other and sighed.

"I also took out the remaining money and food at home, Lin Zi, there is really no other way, let's send someone to find Dafu."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to tell Dafu."

Tian Lin gritted his teeth, looked at the room next to the hall, and nodded heavily.

……

At the end of Shihe Village, in Liu Qingcao's house.

"Girl, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, why don't you take a break?"

Chen Cuizhi looked at the busy Liu Qingcao, her eyes were full of distress.

"Sister Chen, I'm fine, take a rest when you're tired."

Liu Qingcao put down the cyan cloth in her hand, picked up another black cloth and rummaged through it in her hand, showing no intention of stopping.

Seeing this, Chen Cuizhi shook her head helplessly, continuing to work while talking.

"Girl, do you want to send all these cloths?"

"That's right, Big Brother Tian and Big Brother Jiang Li have taken in more than a dozen orphans. I heard from Big Brother Jiang that the two of them have tried their best to spend the rest of the family's money to help those children.

But they didn't have any money left, so it was difficult to handle this matter. Yesterday they reported this matter to Brother Jiang and asked him to think of a way to help these children survive this winter. "

Liu Qingcao didn't raise her head, but she didn't stop talking.

Chen Cuizhi nodded knowingly, she is now used to her girl, this "nosy" habit, and she doesn't intend to persuade her, as long as her girl is not stupid and does things beyond her ability.

"Sister Chen, these cloths, when Big Brother Pan comes back later, you ask him to send all of them to the factory shed area, and I will go find a few aunts to make twenty or thirty sets of cotton clothes later."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do today, so I'm going to help, so I can finish it quickly and send it to them."

Chen Cuizhi nodded, and helped Liu Qingcao put the cloth into the ox cart, and went to do all the things to be done today.

After Liu Qingcao finished all this, she had nothing else to do, and began to carve out the whole head of pork she bought, cut it into strips, put seasonings on it, and made sausages.

……

In Shiliu Village, Tian Lin found Jiang Li, and the two sat in the hall, staring at Bai Xue outside the door, frowning and sighing.

"Linzi, Dafu might not be able to raise so many cotton clothes. After all, today we took in more than a dozen children."

Jiang Li rubbed the center of his brows, feeling the pressure was enormous.

At the beginning, there were only one or two orphans, and they could still handle it, but after staying in the village for a long time, they found more orphans.

After going back and forth, dozens of people have been taken in without knowing it, and today they found a dozen more. The two of them really couldn't afford it, so they sent someone to find Jiang Dafu, and asked him to think of a way. Collect some food and clothing.

Now that the two of them are the principals in the village, they can't just watch these children starve to death and freeze to death right under their noses.

"Don't worry, life in the village is easier now, and when the new year's season comes, potatoes will be harvested again. I don't think everyone will sit idly by."

Tian Lin is also under great pressure. Although he trusts the villagers in Shihe Village, he still has some faint worries in his heart.

"Well, let's just wait. The food brought from home can last for two days. If there is really no way, we can find a way to make the porridge thinner, so that it can last for this period of time."

Jiang Li nodded, with no bottom in his heart, and had no choice but to speak.

a day later.

The sky was first showing white gold, and Pan Yong and Jiang Dafu drove the ox cart, carrying two large carts of clothes and food, and drove out of Shihe Village leisurely.

In Shiqing Village, Tian Lin and Jiang Li waited excitedly at the head of Shiqing Village when they received the message from the visitor.

"Jiang Li, you came so early?"

Tian Lin raised his eyebrows, his tone and expression had long since disappeared from the depression and melancholy of the previous two days.

The corner of Jiang Li's mouth showed the most comfortable smile these days.

When he got the news of Jiang Dafu yesterday, he was very excited and slept the most peaceful night in the past few days.

Although he didn't know what happened to Tian Lin last night, he thought that the two of them probably were pretty much the same.

"Linzi, you are the same, we are not too late, haha."

Jiang Li laughed, looking expectantly into the distance.

About two to three quarters of an hour passed before Liu Qingcao and his group's bullock cart slowly appeared in the field of vision of Tian Lin and Jiang Li.

The moment they saw Liu Qingcao's figure, the two showed joy, then looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

"Dafu, Qingcao, here." Jiang Li waved his hands vigorously towards the coming people, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed, especially when he saw the things on the bullock cart, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Tian Lin greeted them happily, with a smile on his lips and a gentle tone.

"Dafu, Qingcao, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Lin Zi, we've eaten, let's go, I know you're in a hurry, first bring the things into the house, and we'll talk later."

Jiang Dafu knew the two of them more or less, so he stopped being too polite and asked the two to move their things down first before talking.

In the hall, four people were sitting on stools. Tian Lin took out a densely written piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Dafu. After Jiang Dafu read it, he handed it to Liu Qingcao who was beside him.

Liu Qingcao took the paper and quickly scanned the content on the paper, and she had a solid idea in her heart.

"Dafu, Qingcao, these are all the information that Jiang Li and I have collected in the past half a month. There are still some things that are not clear at the moment. The two old village chiefs only talked about some important things, and they didn't mention anything else. .”

Seeing that both of them had finished reading, Tian Lin opened his mouth to speak.

Jiang Dafu nodded, pondered for a while, and then answered in a calm voice.

"Linzi, according to the information you and Jiang Li got, I think these two villages are a bit weird. What do you think?"

Tian Lin and Jiang Li also agreed with Jiang Dafu's opinion, and they nodded their heads heavily. Liu Qingcao looked at the three of them and recalled the content on the paper again.

They were right, these two villages were indeed weird, and things should be tricky.
