Sister Li Xiu used her left hand to hold on, and with Xiao Ni's help, she sat up.
Xiaoni held the big bowl in front of Sister Li Xiu. Sister Li Xiu held the wooden spoon in her left hand and started eating a little clumsily.
The long-lost rice fragrance, thick porridge, salty and delicious, a little hot, but it is really comfortable to eat.
"Sister Xiu, please eat more." Xiao Ni swallowed quietly and said, "There are still some in the big pot outside. Uncle Chen said that they all have their share, so you can eat as much as you like."
Sister Li Xiu looked at this sensible and kind-hearted little girl, her eyes were a little warm, she hummed, lowered her head and continued to eat porridge.
The atmosphere in the village became lively, and there was nothing more exciting than eating.
Eat sparingly, you will have no energy, you will not be able to walk fast, the journey will take longer, and you will need more food. Eat full first, not only to replenish your physical strength, but also to refresh yourself mentally.
Chen Youshan was leaning on a cane and wearing fur clothes brought back by his son. He was directing and assigning tasks back and forth, looking completely different from his usual sluggish and aging look.
"Dad, please rest." Chen Sihe brought a bowl of porridge and said with concern: "I'm busy, so don't be tired."
Chen Youshan hummed, sat down, took the bowl, and said, "Hurry up and find a few people to remove a few door panels, repair them briefly, tie them with ropes, and use them as a sledge."
Chen Sihe thought for a while, nodded vigorously, and said: "Dad is more thoughtful. In the snow, the sledge saves the most effort. It is convenient for sitting on people and pulling things."
Chen Youshan waved his hand and signaled his son to do it quickly. After watching his son walk away, he picked up the bowl and ate and drank slowly.
As an old man who has gone through many hardships in life, Chen Youshan is well aware of the unpredictable nature of people's hearts, and he also knows the importance of people's hearts.
Now there is food and drink, there is hope, and people's hearts are quite orderly. But when difficulties continue to hit, when there is a lack of food and firewood in the ice and snow, and when we are trekking hard, there will be as many thoughts as there are people, and it will be difficult to deal with it!
Fortunately, Guo Dajing is brave and fierce, so he should be able to control people's hearts.
Chen Youshan was thinking this, and when he saw Xiaoni coming over with an empty bowl, he asked kindly: "How is Axiu? Can you eat porridge?"
Xiao Ni showed the empty bowl to Chen Youshan and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu is much better. Uncle Chen, look, she has eaten a big bowl!"
"Okay, that's good." Chen Youshan smiled and said, "Go and get some porridge. Eat more so you have the strength to go on the road."
Xiao Ni smiled and nodded, then went to the big pot to fill the porridge.
Take more care of Sister Li Xiu, Li Xiucheng and Xiao Ni. Dajing is also a supporter. You will rely on him more often in the future!
Chen Youshan put down his rice bowl, stroked his beard, and watched thoughtfully as Xiao Ni walked away happily holding a big bowl of porridge.
Vehicles, sledges, and people returned to the village one after another. They constantly attracted looks of envy or jealousy, or greetings of welcome.
Chen Youshan also brought people forward to take inventory, excluding the things brought back by individuals for use, mainly grain, chickens, cattle, sheep, etc., which must be managed uniformly and calculated for consumption.
As long as you control the horses and sledges, no matter how greedy you are, no matter how much you get at the manor, you will never be able to carry a pack on your back for a long distance.
Even so, disputes are inevitable. Everyone has them, even though they are a very small minority, it is not surprising.
"I risked my life to rob these from the manor." It was the yellow-faced man who used to speak rudely. He protected the two big bundles on the sledge and said with a blushing neck: "They are all useful.
, when you return to your hometown, won’t you also have to live?”
Chen Sihe rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Don't sound so bachelor and risk your life. Brother Dajing is so desperate. We are just picking up what's ready."
Chen Youshan said calmly: "The purpose of moving things from the manor is indeed for the future. But it is for escape and use on the road, not to accumulate wealth, let alone to make a fortune."
As he spoke, he pointed to the sledge next to him and said: "Except for personal clothing and sleeping bedding, food and pots and pans must be shared. You can keep these things, but you have to carry them on your back.
Figure it out yourself."
If it's hot, don't take any fur clothes or bedding with you. The lighter the burden, the faster you can go.
But now that it is freezing and snowy, these things can only be left behind. But it is not necessary to pack them in big or small packages, but to wear them as much as possible to keep them warm and cold-resistant.
You are already heavily clothed, so you distribute the excess to other villagers. Not only do you not share it, but you also occupy precious transportation vehicles. Can you be any more selfish?
This is not a leisurely move, but an extremely dangerous escape.
"There are cars and sledges, which can move things here and transport them away." The yellow-faced man argued: "Is it just me and the two extra burdens?"
"You can't just count things." Chen Youshan raised his voice and said, "What about the elderly, women, children, or someone who is sick or injured? What should we do when they can't walk? Should we leave them all behind?"
Chen Sihe was a little impatient and interrupted: "Dad, don't talk nonsense to him, wait until Dajing and the others come back."
The yellow-faced man remained silent. Under the looks of disdain or disgust from the surrounding villagers, he reluctantly moved the two large bundles off the sledge and moved them aside to pack them away.
"It's better to say a lot of nice things than just stare at Brother Dajing." Chen Sihe curled his lips disdainfully.
Chen Youshan smiled bitterly and turned around to direct the arrangements.
He also deeply believed what his son said. No one was cheering him down, but there were others who were stunned. To put it bluntly, it was bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It is better to use a knife to reason. People are so realistic.
Inside the house, Sister Li Xiu, with the help of Xiaoni and her younger brother, put on the fur clothes that Guo Dajing asked Chen Sihe to bring back, which were women's styles.
"It's beautiful, it's so beautiful." Xiaoni clapped her hands and exclaimed in admiration.
Li Xiucheng nodded repeatedly and put on the leather robe, but it was too big. He tied a rope around his waist and the robe was still dragged to the floor.
Sister Li Xiu was grateful to Guo Dajing from the bottom of her heart. Seeing her little brother's funny look, she smiled and said, "Find a knife and cut off the long part to use as a scarf!"
Xiao Ni hurriedly said: "No need for a knife, I'll go outside to find scissors. They got so many objects from the manor, big and small!" With that, Xiao Ni opened the door and ran out.
People outside are still busy. There are not many ready-made fur clothes after all, but there are quite a lot of furs plundered from the warehouse.
Making do with simple things, covering them up or wrapping them up, can also keep you warm. If you don't have fur, just use quilts or cloth to keep yourself as warm as possible.
"Dajing and Mr. Zhou are back." Someone shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Unknowingly, Guo Dajing has become a prominent figure in the villagers and has become the pillar of the villagers.
Xiaoni had just borrowed the scissors. When she heard this, she immediately ran to the end of the village.
