At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Yang Daxing limped towards the door of his house, turned around and saw the family, and shouted in surprise: "You! You can actually come back alive!"

Li Shuangrong's eyes widened with anger: "If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will break your legs right now. I can't take care of it now, but this matter between our two families is not over yet!"

Yang Daxing knew he was in the wrong, his thugs were not around, and he had a lame leg from a wolf bite. He did not dare to confront Li Shuangrong, so he hurried into the house and slammed the door shut.

There were very few people on the street, and everyone had a sad face. It was hard to tell that it was still the New Year.

Yang Daxing made such a big noise that night that half of the village knew that the Li family had moved away overnight, and Yang Daxing came to nothing.

When I saw them on the road today, I knew everything in my heart, but I still asked, "Where are you and your family doing?"

Li Huaiqing remained calm and said, "It's nothing. There was a hole in the roof of my house, so I went out to stay for a few days."

The man looked hesitant, but still spoke: "Mr. Li, I heard that your family still has food, can you lend me two kilograms of noodles?"

Li Huaiqing: "Hey, who told you that? Who said that? Go ask him to borrow it."

Every time something happened to the Li family, he would stand by and watch the fun, and every time he would curse the Li family the loudest. There was no other person in the whole village who would take advantage of the situation like him.

Such a person actually has the nerve to ask to borrow food.

Mr. Li embarrassed him. As expected, he turned around and started to curse: "Who do you think cares about you? Aren't we all being chased around like dogs?"

Fu Bao had never seen such a thick-skinned person before, and his fists were stiff: "If you scream again!"

The crisp words entered everyone's ears. Being scolded by a little girl like this, the man's face instantly turned red and he shouted, "Little girl, if you say that again, I will sew your mouth shut."

Fubao's face darkened: "Dad!"

Li Shuangrong took two steps forward like a general who had received an order, and met the man's eyes. "Whose mouth do you want to sew? I didn't bother with you in the past, but you still come here to pick a fight. Don't you know your own weight?"

The Li family members behind him all stared at him. When the man saw this, he didn't dare to say a word and walked away in shame.

When I got home, the door was open and the firewood that had been neatly stacked in the yard was now scattered on the ground in a mess.

I had only been away for a month, but my home was already in such a state of disrepair.

The whole family was in a heavy mood, but they quickly rolled up their sleeves and started to clean up.

Fubao: "It's okay, our things are still there."

Li Huaiqing: "Everyone in the family is fine, nothing is missing. Clean it up quickly and we can eat."

The house looked messy, but actually there was nothing in it, and it was cleaned up in less than half an hour.

Fubao lingered in the main room, moving the cabinets and tables out of the space one by one and putting them back in their original places.

Fubao: "Ah! It's done!"

Li Shuangrong: "Finally back."

Before the family had even warmed up their seats, two bailiffs in dark blue cloth walked into the yard: "Are you there? Come out!"

Li Huaiqing and Li Shuangrong walked over quickly: "Here we are, sir, what's going on?"

The tall and thin yamen runner looked at the two of them expressionlessly and said, "Tomorrow we will go to work in Zhangjiazhuang. Who from your family will go?"

Li Huaiqing: "My eldest son and second son will go."

The bailiff looked unfriendly and asked: "How many males are there in your family?"

Li Huaiqing: "Sir, the boys in my family are still young and cannot be counted."

The yamen runner looked at the list and said, "Why do I see that you have three sons?"

Li Huaiqing: "My youngest son has joined the army and is fighting on the front line."

The yamen runner nodded and said, "I think your eldest grandson is also capable of working."

Li Huaiqing was shocked: "Sir, the child is still young and in poor health. He really can't do such heavy work."

Fubao took advantage of her family not paying attention and quickly walked to Li Huaiqing's side. She stuffed a tael of silver into his hand, which was the New Year's money her grandfather gave her during the Chinese New Year.

Li Huaiqing suddenly felt a chill in his hand. He looked down and saw a pile of silver in his palm.

He quickly raised his hand and stuffed the silver into the yamen runner's pocket: "Sir, please be kind. This child is really not old enough..."

The yamen runner shook the silver in his hand twice and finally smiled: "Forget it this time, just two people from your family will go."

Li Shuangrong: "Thank you for your understanding. We will go to work tomorrow."

The two yamen runners turned around and left for the next house.

After seeing them off, Li Huaiqing looked at the little dumpling swaying beside him and breathed a sigh of relief: "I am also getting old and confused. What else can they do if they don't leave? It's also thanks to Fubao. If you hadn't reminded me, Chongwang would definitely have gone too."

Li Shuangrong: "Can we let children do the work of digging the canal? They are desperate for manpower."

Li Huaiqing shook his head bitterly: "Alright, stop talking. Pack up and go tomorrow."

The whole family was in a depressing mood until dinner time. Li Darong and Li Shuangrong took off their clean cotton coats and put on their old clothes which were full of patches.

Zhao Xiuer: "Why don't you wear the original one? This one is so torn, and it's so cold outside, you should wear a new one."

Li Shuangrong: "It's too easy to get your clothes dirty and torn doing that kind of work."

Zhao Xiuer: "Just wear this. If it gets dirty, I'll wash it for you. If it gets torn, I'll mend it for you. Just don't get cold."

Zhou Qiaoping: "Wear new clothes, don't let yourself get frozen."

Zhao Xiuer: "I made two new sets for you, so you can change them when you come back."

Fubao took out six large pancakes from the space. These were the ones that Zhou Qiaoping had made in the wooden house and had put into the space.

Fubao: "Dad, uncle. Take this."

Li Shuangrong looked at the thick pancakes and hugged her in his arms with emotion: "Dad will be back soon."

Zhao Xiuer gave them two pairs of thick cloth shoes: "They are all made of the material given by Fubao, you can just wear them. I made them very quickly, so don't worry about them getting worn out."

Fubao took out two thick quilts: "Grandpa just made these quilts. They are very thick."

I bought the things one by one and finally tied them into a bundle.

Before dawn the next day, Fubao heard his mother's voice: "When you get there, if it's cold, put on more clothes. If you don't have enough to eat, ask someone to send a message back to you."

Li Shuangrong agreed calmly.

Soon, they left with their bags on their backs to go to work in Zhangjiazhuang. The journey was a long way, and they didn't know how long they would be able to return.

Chongming usually likes to follow his second uncle. As soon as Li Shuangrong left, he became completely listless and wandered around the village with Fubao and Yisheng.

They went to see Granny Jin, and as soon as they entered the house, Fubao called out, "Granny, I'm here."

Chongming: "You are so far away, she can't hear you, let's go in and talk."

An old voice sounded: "Fubao, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Chongming was a little surprised and took his younger brother and sister into the house.

Fubao: "Mother-in-law, have you eaten?"

Grandma Jin smiled and said, "I have eaten. Liu Er's wife comes to bring me food every day."

Fubao: "Fubao ate too. He ate a lot."

Granny Jin: "Did something happen in your family?"

Chongming: "Someone was causing trouble, so I went out to hide for a few days. My father and second uncle went to dig a canal these two days."

……

Only after seeing Grandma Jin did Fubao feel at ease to go home.

Finally realizing that Chongming was distracted all the way, Fubao asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Chongming: "I don't know how my father and second uncle are doing. I heard that this kind of work is tiring and hard, and many people can't stand it."

Fu Bao: "Someone should be back with a message in a few days, don't worry."

I was just comforting my brother like this, but I actually didn't know what was going on.
