Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Even the fourth and fifth children generously shared the candies that they treasured so much that they would not eat them on weekdays. Lin Zhaodi and Xiaocao were almost envious.

It's rare for these two stingy little guys to be so generous. I guess things are going to change.

Chun Xing was overwhelmed by the Lin family's enthusiasm. Looking at the novel food that was stuffed into her arms, she felt that she had never seen such food before in peacetime, and it was even more impossible for her to see such food during this famine.

After all, everyone wanted to hold on to their food bags tightly. It was common for a family to turn against each other and fight over food for a bite of food. It was even worse, and it was not unheard of for a family to eat their own children.

But the Lin family was so generous that they not only did not avoid her, but also shared with her generously. This touched Chun Xing so much that she hugged all the sisters in the Lin family and cried excitedly. As a result, she naturally ignored the origin of these novel foods.

Seeing that his granddaughter got along very well with the Lin sisters, there was no sense of disharmony at all, and they were as close as a family. Doctor Qiao stroked his goatee with satisfaction, looking mysterious, which made Lin Xiaoyue silently roll her eyes.

It's obvious that he is obsessed with his granddaughter. He has to pretend to be a cockfighting cock. This grandparent-grandchild pair is also the best of love-hate relationship. With them joining us on the road, I think the journey will not be boring.

Over there, Ergou's mother, with the help of neighbors from the same village, brought Ergou back to their temporary residence.

After carefully observing that his son was fine, he found a large rock that could block the view of others. He carefully lifted up the hems of his three layers of clothes and untied the small bag of cornmeal that was tightly tied to his body.

He stuck his head out and looked at Er Gouzi, who was still resting under the tree with his eyes closed, and then tightened the last remaining food in his hand. After a fierce ideological struggle, he gritted his teeth and took the last remaining food for the mother and son, and resolutely walked towards Doctor Qiao.

When Er Gou's mother came to the Lin family, a strong and fragrant smell of rice rushed into her nose. Er Gou's mother, who was already tightening her belt and living frugally, could not help but cast her eyes towards the pot of rice porridge. She could not help but swallow her non-existent saliva. Before the Lin family looked over, she forced her eyes away with difficulty and walked towards Doctor Qiao, who was sitting beside the cart and chatting with Old Man Lin, with heavy steps.

The place where the Lin family rested was quite far away from the large group of refugees. It was obvious that they were unwilling to come into contact with strangers and were so defensive that not many blind people came to show their presence.

Ergou's mother came over alone, holding half a bag of cornmeal tightly in her hand. One could tell why she came at a glance.

Because she was worried about her son, Ergou's mother paid the "medical fee" and left quickly.

It was because of her that the aroma of the cooking at the Lin family's place was too tempting. She was afraid that if she didn't leave quickly, she would not be able to help but do irrational things like the mother and son who were beaten up earlier.

Looking at the back of Er Gou's mother staggering away in a hurry, Lin Xiaoyue's eyes flashed, and a hint of deep meaning quickly passed through her. Without waiting for others to explore, she turned her head and watched her sisters and Chun Xing playing noisily.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side. It was Doctor Qiao, who handed her the "medical fee" he had just received.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't answer, but looked at Doctor Qiao in confusion, as if asking silently: What are you doing?

Doctor Qiao glared at her unhappily and said fiercely, "Can't I send it to you? I have nowhere else to put it. Can you bear to see us, the two of us, old and young, carrying a basket of medicine and adding more weight? Can you be a little more compassionate? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?"

……

Lin Xiaoyue was being scolded for no reason. She didn't want to argue with this fighting cock, so she rolled her eyes at him, which made Dr. Qiao so angry that he turned into a puffer fish.

Father Lin was forced to smooth things over. He took the grain bag from Doctor Qiao and apologized to him on behalf of his daughter. "Doctor Qiao, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We country folk don't have many rules. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a little girl like her."

Doctor Qiao is such a proud person, he completely ignored the honest father Lin and bullied Lin Xiaoyue. If you don't know, you would think that these two people were mortal enemies in the previous life, and they were so aggressive when they met in this life.

Others may not know, but Lin Xiaoyue knows it in her heart. It is obvious that Doctor Qiao is jealous because Chun Xing was touching her just now.

It's kindergarten level.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't respond, so Dr. Qiao kept holding it up. The two of them stared at each other, neither of them giving in.

Old Man Lin sat on the cart, persuading this one and coaxing that one, his forehead full of cold sweat.

Finally, it was Chun Xing who noticed that there was no war here. She came over and took the bag of grain held by Doctor Qiao, and handed it to Lin Xiaoyue eagerly. She pulled her arm and shook it like a spoiled child, saying sweetly, "Sister, you can keep it. Grandpa and I will go with your family. These grains will be regarded as our public grain. It's embarrassing to keep eating your food. It will make me feel very embarrassed."

When Doctor Qiao saw that his granddaughter's elbow was bent outward, his dark face turned purple with anger.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her chin towards him triumphantly and said, "So, your granddaughter just likes to stick to me? Come and bite me if you have the guts!"

Anyway, the person has already come here, so there is no need to worry about him running away again.

As long as he can win over her granddaughter, I don't believe that Dr. Qiao can escape from his Five Fingers Mountain.

Hehehe...

Doctor Qiao: ...I am so pissed off, hehehe...

But when Doctor Qiao led out an ox cart from the villagers, the Lin family members realized that the grandfather and grandson also had a "cart" family, so the heavy burden they had mentioned before was simply nonsense. It seemed that they were really paying the public grain as Chun Xing said.

Although this move was a bit redundant, it showed that Dr. Qiao was not a person who would take advantage of others.

-----------------

For the next two days, the sun was still shining brightly and the temperature was so high that it made people doubt life.

Many discordant voices were heard from the refugee group, saying that the strange signs from heaven must be related to the heinous crimes committed by the current emperor, which led to the punishment from heaven, causing the people to live in misery and the resentment of heaven and people. If the emperor could not issue an edict of self-blame, there would be endless disasters and the dynasty would be overthrown...

When Lin Xiaoyue heard the rumor, it had already spread widely.

Do ordinary people here dare to say this? Aren't they afraid of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated?

It’s really… amazing….

In the history books she had studied, whether official or unofficial, there were many references to "If the monarch's actions are in accordance with the will of heaven, the five blessings will be bestowed upon him; if the monarch's actions are not good, heaven will punish him with the six extremes." Or, "If the monarch has no virtue, heaven will send disasters."
