Chapter 68

A small portion per person, maybe about a pound, so the whole family can eat sparingly and eat for a long time. There are many places where rich people are giving porridge.

Guan Daqi and Jin Niang did not go. Their family's conditions were not bad and they were not at the end of their rope. The porridge was prepared for people who really had no food and they couldn't eat it.

Guan Daqi put all the rice in the bag, and the oxen had already been harnessed to a cart. They spent one tael of silver and got a new oxcart. In fact, the oxcart was really cheap, but the more expensive thing was the oxen. On the body.

When Jin Niang saw the prosperity of the town, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that there was no disaster in the town, so his Ajie should be fine.

"Guan Jie, someone is looking for you," someone shouted to Guan Jie, which also made Guan Jie, who was restless, startled.

"Someone is looking for me. Who is it? Are they my parents?"

He hastily grabbed hold of the man's woods, almost strangling him to death.

Looking around, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab the person who sent the message, and rescued the person who was about to die in Guan Jie's hands.

The man covered his neck, pointed outside, and stammered, "It's...outside...you go...see...see..."

Guan Jie ran outside, but as soon as he arrived, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Father, mother..."

He ran over quickly and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Fortunately, parents are still alive, fortunately, they are all there, he is not filial, such a big incident happened at home, as the eldest son of the Guan family, he can't help anything, let those floods trap My parents and my younger sister are gone.

Guan Daqi and Jin Niang also had red eyes and quickly helped Guan Jie who was kneeling on the ground.

"Good boy, don't worry. Mom and dad are fine." They comforted Guan Jie. They were able to escape death and see their son again. The two of them really felt that nothing was a big deal.

Guan Qing stood aside, biting a bun that was bigger than her face. Her little face was pink and tender, very lovable, but she seemed to have lost some weight recently. Alas, no wonder, they were all hungry. , there is no good food in the mountains, and there are not many meals here. After finally arriving in the town, I bought such a big bun and ate it.

"A Qing..." Guan Jie quickly walked over and picked up Guan Qing.

"Ah Qing has lost weight," he touched his sister's little face. She still had such a pretty little face, why had she become smaller?
Guan Qing smiled innocently and brought the bun to Guan Jie, "Brother, eat it."

"Brother won't eat it, but Ah Qing will eat it," Guan Jie felt his heart sore, and quickly held back the tears that were about to fall out of his eyes. It is said that men don't shed tears easily. How could he be with his parents and sister? Crying in front of me.

"Father, mother," Guan Jie put down Guan Qing, took her little hand, and then called Guan Daqi and Jin Niang.

"I don't want to study anymore. I'll go back and help dad farm and weave bamboo utensils."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Guan Daqi's face turned dark all of a sudden, "I've been reading books for so long, how can I say I won't read them if I don't read them? Our land doesn't need you to plant, and our bamboo wares don't need to be planted." If I need you to compile it, all you need to do is study hard. When you pass the Jinshi exam in the future, will our family be able to live well?"

"But..." Guan Jie really couldn't bear to let his parents suffer like this anymore.

Going to school requires money, and you have to pay for it. Their family has been blown away by the flood now, and the younger sister in the family is still young, so he can't burden the whole family.

Jin Niang knew what her son was thinking. She stepped forward and adjusted her son's clothes.

"Don't worry, our family is fine. The money my mother saved is still there and has not been washed away. Our cattle are also there. Although the house has been washed away a little, it is still liveable. The bamboo on the mountain cannot be cut down. It’s over, so our family will be fine soon, you can study your studies with peace of mind, it’ll be fine.”

Jin Niang said this, but Guan Jie didn't believe it. He was afraid that her parents were comforting her, so she told lies.

"Brother..." Guan Qing pulled Guan Jie's sleeve.

Guan Jie picked up Guan Qing again. Guan Qing took a bite of the bun that was bigger than his face and said, taking credit, "Ah Qing found the jar, and Ah Qing found the cow. Ah Qing is very powerful." Right?" She pointed to her little face, and the little face she smiled was all over the place.

And she took another bite of the bun, and her little face was covered with the stuffing of the bun.

Guan Jie shook his sister's little finger.

Some understand.

It's possible for parents to lie, but A Qing won't. She's still young and doesn't know what it means to panic, and he is really relieved. In fact, as long as the cow at home is there, it will be easy. However, he My heart is still tangled. No matter what books I study, I can't help my family in any way.

However, now he can only continue to study, just like what his father said, as long as he is a Jinshi, he will have a salary to get, and it can also supplement some household expenses, and it will be more convenient for the family to do things.

And he secretly gritted his teeth and must pass the exam this time.

Guan Daqi and Jin Niang talked to their son again, left some money from Shu Xiu, and left with Guan Qing. After all, they still had a lot of things to do and a lot of things they didn't buy, like You have to buy some bedding and other things at home, otherwise you will have to sleep on hay.

Beddings are not expensive at all. They bought two beds, and then bought some oil, salt, sauces and the like. Finally, they went to pull their ox cart, which was full of goods. A few people were added, and besides the ones from my own family, there were also those from other people in the village.

The people in the village bought their own things. Although everyone didn't say it clearly, everyone should have some private money. They either brought it with them when they went out, or they found it when they went home. If it is washed away, it can only be said that it is life.

Life is like this, what can anyone do?
The oxcart arrived safely in the village. The men, women, and children in the village were all busy, digging through the house, cooking, and everyone took things from the oxcart and returned to their homes.

Guan Qing went to Rong Qiuran's house with a big bun in her arms, only to find that there was no one at home.

He hadn't come back yet. She stood on her toes and looked inside for a long time. There was no one inside.

She picked up her toes again and placed the wrapped buns on the window sill, so that he could see them as soon as he came back.

Biting her little finger, she waited outside for a while. After seeing that no one was waiting, she ran back to her home.

The house at home was almost repaired, and new doors and windows were built. Even the earthen kang inside was not finished, so they first built the bed with simple wooden boards, and waited until they were free. It is to sleep on two kangs.

It was covered with newly purchased bedding, and now it was clean and normal.
