"I don't have to pay back my family's share." Someone else said, "In the past, when my family was having a hard time, your family also tried their best to help. Now we only have a little food, so don't worry about it."
"And me, I don't have to pay back my family's food. I don't have much food in the first place."
Several women came out and shouted that they didn't need to pay back the food.
"They don't want me!" Ms. Zhang said quickly, "I think you are all crazy. You don't want good food to raise a picked one..."
Zhang was about to say the words "loser" when she saw Li Rulan staring at her sinisterly.
Thinking of the cruel words she had said before, she was so frightened that she quickly fell silent.
Some people couldn't stand Zhang's behavior and choked: "Sister-in-law Zhang, I remember that the second brother of the Shen family hunted a wild boar in the first half of the year and gave your family two kilograms of wild boar meat. Why are people living so hard now?"
Sorry, you don’t know how to help, you are really heartless!”
"That was for my mother-in-law, not for me." Mrs. Zhang said nonchalantly, "I didn't eat the wild boar meat, so it has nothing to do with me."
"You don't need to say more." Shen Zhengwen took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, please take your food back now. If there are others who want their food back, please come over.
I have a list here. I remember clearly who has produced grain and how much, and I guarantee that I won’t short-change you.”
In fact, he never thought about asking for food from others in vain in the first place, so he specially asked Li Zheng for this list of food donations, thinking that he would return it to everyone in double the amount in the future.
It's good to do this now, let him see clearly which are humans and which are ghosts.
It would be better to treat them differently when dealing with each other in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more women came out.
Shen Zhengwen didn't say any more, and immediately found a scale and returned the rice to the three women.
The three women got the food and walked away in a big way. The remaining women in the room looked at the backs of the three of them and shook their heads.
"Ru Lan, don't be angry." Sister-in-law Zhou comforted her, "Don't pay attention to those short-sighted ones. If it doesn't work, there are still us. When your family runs out of food, I will give you some more."
"Yes!" Someone agreed, "We are all the same, so naturally we should help each other. No one can guarantee that nothing big or small will happen to our family in the future. Those few are like this just for a little rice.
Don’t ask others for help in the future.”
Jingguo's rural management system consists of five families, ten families, one hundred families, one pavilion for every ten miles, and one township for every ten pavilions. There are five chiefs, chiefs, and lizheng, etc. who perform their respective duties.
Li Zheng was raising food for Shen Lao'er's family. He didn't go to every household, but only to eight or nine households that had a good relationship with Shen Zhengwen.
After a few more pleasantries, the women also left.
Watching their departing figures, Shen Zhengwen said with emotion: "There are always icings on the cake, but it is rare to offer help in times of need. I will definitely keep their friendship in my heart."
"Don't put too much psychological burden on yourself. This is the fruit you sow in your daily life." Li Rulan smiled and picked up an old rattle and stuffed it into Xiao Nian Nian's hand. This was given to Xiao Nian by Sister Zhou.
If you want to play, most people bring some small things that are not used by the children at home.
"It is precisely because you treat everyone sincerely on weekdays that they are willing to help us. If they need anything in the future, we will do our best to help."
Little Niannian fiddled with the rattle in her hand casually, blinked her eyes, and secretly memorized the words of her father and mother.
In the next few days, little Niannian once again showed her amazing appetite.
The Shen family was stunned at the beginning, then gradually got used to it, and now they treat it indifferently.
Since Xiao Niannian appeared, they have seen too many impossibilities, and now there is nothing they cannot accept.
At the same time, the drought in Taoli Village became more and more serious, and many wells were no longer able to produce water.
The fields were cracked and cracked, and the few seasonal vegetables in the fields were on the verge of withering.
Those refugees who had already settled in Taoli Village all wanted to leave.
Shen Lao'er's house is no exception. There is only a little water left in the well. Shen Zhengwen always frowns and sighs when looking at the well.
Xiao Niannian saw these in her eyes and remembered them in her heart.
That night, she finally felt that she had accumulated enough spiritual power in her body.
It's time to give Taoli Village a timely snowfall.
The art of summoning wind and snow is an entry-level spell. It is nothing to a divine beast and does not require much spiritual power.
It's just that she has a seal on her body, and her body is too weak, so she can only rely on supplements to accumulate spiritual power, so it took so many geniuses to accumulate enough spiritual power for the Snow Summoning Technique.
Today is the fifteenth day of the winter lunar month, and the clear moonlight has coated Taoli Village with a layer of silver light.
Everyone fell asleep early, and the whole Taoli Village was quiet.
Suddenly, a golden light shot straight into the sky from the direction of Shen Laoer's house, illuminating a small area of the sky.
The silver light was fleeting and disappeared into the sky in a direction that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Only a few scrawny guard dogs in the village seemed to have noticed something, barking at the sky.
The villagers were awakened by the barking of dogs and thought it was a wild beast coming down the mountain, so they went out to check with spears and hoes.
But they searched around and found nothing unusual.
At this moment, pieces of silvery white snowflakes were falling down in the north wind.
Cheng Sheng was an upright person and was the first to go out with a hoe.
When the snowflakes fell on his face, he suddenly froze on the spot.
He reached out and wiped his face. The snow had turned into ice water, making him wake up instantly.
"God has eyes! God has eyes! It's finally snowing!"
Cheng Sheng shouted happily to the sky, but couldn't help but burst into tears.
He watched the sky last night and concluded that there would be no snowfall in the next month.
Unexpectedly, there would be rain and snow falling tonight, which made him believe that it was God's vision and auspiciousness.
"It's snowing, it's snowing!"
At the same time, others also discovered that it was snowing, and they all cheered happily.
"That's great! We will definitely have a good harvest next year!"
What the farmers are looking forward to most is a good harvest next year, and this snow seems to have given them a good view of a bumper harvest in the coming year, and their simple faces are full of joy.
"What? It's snowing?" Shen Zhengwen was sleeping soundly. He vaguely heard someone shouting that it was snowing. He was so shocked that he ran outside without even having time to put on his clothes.
He raised his head and felt the coldness of the snow, and then he believed that it was really snowing.
"It's snowing! It's really snowing, hahaha!"
Li Zheng said yesterday that there would be no snowfall for a while. This sudden rain and snow was really a surprise.
He was only wearing a middle coat, but he didn't feel the chill at all and walked happily around the yard.
It wasn't until Li Rulan came calling that he happily returned to the house. This chapter has been completed!
