“Learn more Braille from Jin Bao. Even if you are old enough, you can't even write your own name. If you say it, it will make a joke.” Liu Ji took the opportunity to teach Qiao while drying the ink on the letter.
Looking at Liu Fei being stunned, he was rolling on the floor with laughter, and continued to say seriously:
"Your third brother and I have passed the preliminary examination now. Although the two families are separated, who in the village doesn't think that we are one family? From now on, we can be regarded as a scholarly family. It doesn't matter if we can't write."
Liu Fei felt a little inferior, but he always felt that his third brother's words were strange.
Is this what they have from a scholarly family?
Are they worthy?
Forget it, don't ask questions about scholars, so as not to expose your incompetent nature.
The spring rain fell in wisps.
A hazy veil has been cast over the entire Liujia Village.
In the fields, there are farmers wearing bamboo hats and working hard.
The feet that were about to step out were retracted by the instinct of survival. They only dared to retreat to the edge of the road, staring at the bags of food and not daring to get closer.
Some as many as twenty people, almost all from the same village.
After walking to Xiahe Village, this small begging group with whole families disappeared.
Qin Yao has seen beggars several times in Liujia Village, mostly during the period after spring plowing and before autumn harvest. Those whose families have surplus grain will also give them half a bowl of brown rice or two glasses of water.
Liu Fei did not go against Liu Ji this time. He did feel the fiery eyes of the big guys when they saw the grain.
“It's okay, I'll go home first.” Qin Yao responded, telling him to rest assured, and took the letter back to the village to find help.
Because people often disguise themselves as beggars and go into the village to inquire about children and women, and accidentally abduct them.
Qin Yao arrived a quarter of an hour early, and a quarter of an hour later, Liu Ji appeared within the time specified in the letter, which made Qin Yao's anger, who wanted to beat him up, subside a lot.
letter?
This is a rare thing in Liujiacun.
They all work as a family unit and travel in small groups.
Qin Yao glanced at him and raised the corner of her mouth, thinking you have some brains.
Liu Qi was busy taking the grain she bought back to distribute to the poorest families in the village, and Xiaoxiao left first.
However, the villagers in Liujiacun were a little shocked when they saw so much food at first sight.
But now that he had spent all his money and asked for help, the most they could do was send him and the food to a posthouse fifty miles away in Kaiyang County and let her come and take care of him.
Liu Ji shook the grass picked by the roadside and smiled at Qin Yao. Look, he has foresight. Otherwise, how could he deal with these groups of beggars?
The people in the village have started to plow the fields.
Whenever spring plowing comes, people who have survived the winter will work as part-time workers to find food, and there are also many begging.
“Let's calculate the accounts carefully when we get home!” Pointing to Liu Ji's nose, Qin Yao called on the cart drivers to transfer the grain to the cart she brought.
The tribesmen in Liujia Village have always been highly vigilant towards outsiders.
At the end, he also expressed how afraid he was of being robbed of his money and money when traveling alone without her, which made Qin Yao's brows furrowed tightly, unable to say a word.
The letter was indeed sent by Liu Ji. He cried miserably in the letter and said how hard and difficult the journey was, but he lived up to his promise and bought more than 10,000 kilograms of low-priced wheat.
Few people in the village can write. When Qin Yao thought about it, she guessed that it might have been sent by the buyer Liu Ji.
Liu Fei, who was fooled by Liu Ji along the way, said to Qin Yao seriously: "Don't worry, third sister-in-law, I'm keeping an eye on third brother. He won't even think of losing a penny." Qin Yao looked sympathetically at the man in front of her. The innocent young man patted him on the shoulder and continued to carry food.
Most farmers do not have enough to eat, so any accident will put them in a situation of hunger.
Seeing Qin Yao, he immediately handed over the letter in his hand and said, "I just met a coachman from Xiahe Village on the road. He said that this letter was brought back by someone from the southern county. He met me. It happened to be Let me bring it back to the village."
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao said she wanted to stock up on food, but she actually stocked up so much.
When he saw the grain truck, his originally dull eyes lit up, and he wanted to go up and beg.
But after hearing what Liu Ji and Liu Fei said, Qin Yao paid special attention on the way back and found that there were indeed many people begging.
Qin Yao also wanted to borrow a car, but everyone wanted to use it, so obviously she couldn't borrow one.
He pointed at Liu Fei again and said, "If you don't believe me, ask him."
Liu Ji raised his hand as if to swear, "Not at all, I swear!"
The fare for both ends cost a total of one or two taels of silver.
Put down what he was doing and walked out. Liu Qi, who had just bought more than 500 kilograms of brown rice from outside, was holding his ox cart and standing under the archway.
"Coming along this way, ever since we entered the territory of Kaiyang County, people passing by looked at us with eager eyes when they saw our food."
Liu Ji stood aside and watched Qin Yao carry five or six bags of grain alone, and praised: "Madam, it's lucky to have you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to leave on the return trip."
Ten vehicles carrying eleven thousand kilograms of grain drove into Liujia Village, causing a small wave of shock.
When Qin Yao took out the money, she didn't want to see Liu Ji's face, for fear that she would be tempted to punch him.
Qin Yao frowned slightly, but did not complain about his lame use of these idioms. She asked doubtfully: "Are you not exaggerating?"
Qin Yao opened the envelope and checked it. She quickly scanned the few lines and showed a speechless expression.
Liu Ji had to leave some tail when doing things. Liu Ji felt guilty, but he was not confident yet he was strong. There were so many people around him, so he was sure that as long as he didn't make too big a mistake, Qin Yao would not do anything.
This year everyone has discussed setting aside the best fields for breeding and fine cultivation with Qin Yao, so now they are all rushing to plow the distant and thin fields first.
Qin Yao thanked him and took the envelope.
Besides, his trip has been hard work despite no merit, so we should be polite to him.
You can only go to the old house to call Liu Bai Liu Zhong, and go to the town to rent a car to the city's post hall.
But after thinking about her appetite, I can understand it.
Carpenter Liu didn't hear any movement outside the door for a long time, so he asked curiously: "Ms. Qin, what's wrong?"
Qin Yao, who was discussing the production capacity of Shenli Book Boxes with Carpenter Liu in the factory shed, suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: "Third Aunt! I have your letter!"
Qin Yao glanced over with a pair of cold eyes, holding the handle of the knife with her hand. A powerful terrifying aura enveloped the whole place, and the beggars trembled in their hearts.
However, in the past two or three years, the country has been stable and the number of beggars seen on the road is very few.
Liu Ji stepped forward and said, "Madam, don't worry, I have memorized all the accounts, and the fourth child is also watching. There will be no mistakes."
The villagers who originally wanted to stock up on food but had yet to take action were suddenly stimulated and started to follow suit.
Qin Yao felt relieved when she saw this scene.
It's good to follow the trend. Every family has enough food, so everyone is safe.
