So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 143 Enthusiastic Grandma
As for the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on TV, they will never appear.
Eggs are so valuable, who would be willing to let them rot? As for rotten vegetable leaves, they don't deserve them either. There are a lot of weeds and stones on the roadside, which can also be smashed.
"Sui Sui, hurry up, if it's too late the Lord will be gone and we won't be able to see him again." Sui He looked at his grandparents standing at the gate of the yard, dressed neatly.
Sui He packed up and went out as well: "I'm here, I'm here, Grandpa and grandma, let me tell Elder Ning first, there will definitely be a lot of people here today, you can't squeeze into the crowd, just look at it from the side of the road."
Grandpa drove the ox cart out early in the morning and cleaned it up. He even washed the ox with water. Wow, the last time he washed the ox, the ox went to the river by itself.
Grandpa sat on the ox cart, holding a whip, Ning Lao sat on the other side, Sui He and grandma sat in the back, and there was a big backpack.
"Let's go!" Seeing that everyone was seated, grandpa waved his whip and walked towards the town.
It was not only Suihe's family from the village who were heading to the town, there were others as well. Grandpa saw that there was still room on the ox cart, so he let the villagers get on.
First come, first seated. If there is no room, just let them go.
Sure enough, when Suihe and his companions arrived outside the city, they saw many people gathered inside and outside the city. The ox cart could not get in at all. Grandpa drove the ox cart to a tree outside the city and tied it there.
The people on the carriage got off and were stopped by soldiers at the city gate. Not long after Suihe and his companions arrived, they heard the sound of gongs and drums.
Two guards on tall horses came out of the city holding a sign, followed closely by a carriage with attendants and guards around it.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the master is coming out." With the appearance of the carriage, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
People rushed to the carriage, and a group of yamen runners with knives blocked the way.
There were so many people that Suihe and her grandmother were squeezed by the crowd.
"Too crazy, these people are too crazy." Sui He couldn't complain in his heart. People's crazy behavior is no less than modern star chasing.
It seems that this governor has done a lot of good things during this period.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt that the movement around him seemed to have slowed down a little. Sui He looked outside in confusion. It turned out that the team had stopped, and the governor in official clothes got out of the carriage with the help of his entourage.
The governor looked around and walked towards the crowd, coming in the opposite direction of Sui He and his group.
"Greetings to the great Lord." When the people on their side were about to kneel down to greet him, they were stopped. "Fellow villagers, don't be polite. Hurry up and stand up."
Seeing the adults' insistence, the onlookers looked at each other. Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, the governor stepped forward and personally helped an old man up.
Everyone stood up with confidence.
"Sir, you are such a good official."
"Thank you for taking care of us, sir."
The governor waved his hand and said: "I came here to speak for the people. Don't worry, when I return to the capital, His Majesty will handle the matter impartially and severely punish the evildoers."
The governor greeted the people while walking towards Suihe's family.
The common people followed the footsteps of the governor, squeezing Sui He and his companions so hard that they could not stand steadily. A few men nearby looked at each other and mixed into the crowd, blocking the crazy crowd without leaving any trace, leaving some space for Sui He and his companions.
"Old lady, it's so hot, please go back quickly," the governor said to her.
"Hey, hey," Grandma was so excited that she couldn't speak, but just nodded. She took out a package from her bosom and stuffed it into the governor's arms: "This is grown at home, it's not worth much, if you don't mind, you can take it with you on the road. You have worked hard on this journey."
The governor was stunned when he was suddenly stuffed with a package. Fortunately, he reacted quickly: "Is this grown by your own family? Then I won't be polite. Thank you very much, Auntie." After saying that, he handed the thing in his hand to the servant who followed him.
He glanced at Sui He without leaving any trace, and after meeting the gaze of Ning Lao standing beside him, he quickly looked away.
With the grandmother's lead, the onlookers had no scruples and stuffed their goodies into the governor's hands.
The crowd also became lively at this time, and a large number of people squeezed over here.
Pushed Suihe and his companions out of the crowd
The governor saw more and more people coming, and after calling out a few times, the yamen runners blocked the front of the crowd and prevented the people from getting any closer. After the governor said a few words to the crowd, he got on the carriage, and the crowd burst into warm applause.
Seeing the governor get on the carriage, the excited crowd calmed down. After watching the team go away, the onlookers slowly dispersed.
After the team had traveled for a while, the governor took off his official hat, lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved to the servant, who immediately handed over the bundle in his hand.
The governor took the bundle, put it on his lap and opened it. Inside were several big red peaches, a bunch of small red tomatoes, and a few apples in the corner.
The peaches were picked in the yard, the cherry tomatoes were from the field, and the apples were picked by Suihe. When she went out this morning, grandma took some and put them in her bag.
I was supposed to take it with me on the road, but my grandmother gave it all to the governor.
The governor looked at the things in the package. He knew apples and peaches, but this small one, could it be a tomato? Why did he know tomatoes?
Because he had seen it in the Imperial Study. At that time, the eunuch Liao beside the emperor said that this was a tomato sent from below, and the emperor rewarded him with one. That tomato looked exactly like this one.
The governor picked one up and put it in his mouth. It was indeed a tomato, and it tasted even better than what he had tasted in the imperial study that day.
After eating the tomato, he picked up the peach, cut a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth. He didn't say anything for a long time, and his expression was a little puzzled.
The governor put down the package and had a bold idea in his mind. Could he exchange with Lord Ning? He would go to Chen's house and ask Lord Ning to return to Beijing. He was not afraid of hardship and he could also farm.
As a second-rank official, it's not that he hasn't eaten peaches before, but he has never eaten peaches so sweet and fragrant. The fact that the peasant woman could take them out so casually shows that she has enough at home, or she may have other delicious things at home.
If he could exchange with Lord Ning, would he be able to eat it every day? The governor was thinking about how to exchange with Lord Ning.
"Grandma, everyone has left, let's go quickly too." After seeing the crowd leave, grandma still looked at the direction where the governor left reluctantly.
"This governor is really a good official who serves the people."
"Let's go!" Grandpa came over with a bullock cart. The crowd at the city gate had dispersed, and the road was cleared, so the bullock cart could go.
Grandpa drove the ox cart to the backyard of Tongren Restaurant, tied the cart, and walked in with a few people.
Suihe came to the private room with ease.
Tongren Restaurant was once the most famous restaurant in the county because of its outstanding dishes and wide variety. It had a constant stream of business every day, and even people from other places came to visit every day.
Knowing that Sui He and his friends were coming, Shopkeeper Li put down his things and ran up.
"Suihe, you are here today too?" Shopkeeper Li pushed open the box and walked in with a smile.
"Yes, of course we have to come and see such a lively event." Sui He leaned on the window and pointed at the building next door that was being renovated. "Manager Li, what are you going to do next door?"
