The sky is bright and the temperature is rising.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Xiang Ci finally saw the Xiang family villagers returning.

Immediately some villagers shouted: "They are back, they are back!"

Mr. Xiang's crutches lit on the ground and he said excitedly: "I'm finally back. Those bastards from the Xie family are so cowardly that they should be beaten severely."

The crowd agrees.

Xiang Ci ran around excitedly here and there to look.

Walking in front of the team were Xiang Xinbai and Xiang Xinsong, then Mr. Xiang, and then the other young men in the village.

Open it?

Xiang Ci stood on tiptoes and looked towards them, but did not see Ye Kai.

She frowned slightly. Did Ye Kai go directly to the mountain to avoid her?

The smile on her face couldn't be held back, and she looked straight at the returning Xiang family.

Mr. Xiang immediately went up to him, took Mr. Xiang's arm, and said excitedly: "How is it? Will the beating make them submit?"

"Let's go back first." Mr. Xiang supported Mr. Xiang.

Xiang Lao drew back his hand: "I don't want you to help me, just take care of yourself. The corners of my mouth are bleeding from being beaten, but you still help me."

Xiang Ci had calmed down and rushed to Mr. Xiang, handing him the prepared spiritual spring water: "Grandpa, drink some water."

Mr. Xiang looked at the water in the bamboo tube handed over by Xiang Ci and smiled: "Okay."

The water Xiaoqi sent is definitely nectar water. It’s good to drink it.

Xiang Ci watched Mr. Xiang drink Lingquan water, and distractedly looked for Ye Kai, but couldn't find him.

When she took the bamboo tube, she said: "Grandpa, we have prepared tea at home. Let them go home and drink some water."

Mr. Xiang understood what she meant. With a wave of his hand, he led the young children in the village to the Xiang family courtyard.

Xiang Xinbai came closer and said, "Happiness is at the back."

Xiang Ci's eyes lit up: "No one was injured, right?"

"Small injury." Xiang Xinbai looked deeply at Xiao Qi and smiled, "Let's go home."

Xiang Ci followed Xiang Xinbai home, but found that the third brother's footsteps were getting slower and slower.

At this moment, she suddenly became smarter.

The third brother held her and waited for her to leave.

Xiang Ci couldn't help but look back, and happened to bump into Ye Kai, who was staring straight at him.

Ye Kai, who was caught, quickly averted his eyes, but after dodging, he looked at Xiang Ci again, with a smile on his face: "Xiao Qi."

There was a smile on his face, and his voice was joyful, but there was no light in his eyes.

He thought he was pretending well, but in fact he failed miserably.

Xiang Ci felt sad, blinked, and hurriedly ran towards him, grabbed his arm as usual, and pulled him to Xiang Xinbai.

She linked arms with one another and smiled a bitter smile that only she knew: "Let's go home."

Did you hear that? Come on, it’s not just my home, it’s your home too. Stop hiding.

The pain in Ye Kai's eyes flashed away, but he raised his lips and said, "Well, go home."

That's his home, that's his home.

Xiang Xinbai glanced at his old partner, pursed his lips, but said nothing.

The three of them, who pretended to be happy all the way, returned to the Xiang family courtyard, and the entire courtyard was packed with people.

Xiang Ci pulled the two of them and squeezed to Cui's side, raised her head and called her mother softly.

Cui responded with a smile and asked Xiang Xinbai with her eyes.

Are you done?

Xiang Xinbai nodded and shook his head, Cui's sadness was visible to the naked eye.

Xiang Ci pretended not to see their eye contact, let go of them, and looked into the crowd.

Mr. Xiang, who was sitting in the middle, drank some Lingquan water to relax his muscles and bit his pipe.

Mr. Xiang quickly lit a cigarette for him.

Mr. Xiang took a puff of cigarette, and then said after a while: "All that rice was given to the Xie family."

Mr. Xiang had an expression I knew well.

Everyone else who participated in the battle did not say a word, and the unconvinced villagers who did not participate in the battle opened their mouths but did not make a sound.

At this time, Xiang Ci saw Doctor Xiang Ling hurriedly carrying a medicine box.

She quickly got to Dr. Xiang Ling's side and helped him treat the wounds of the young offspring who had broken skin and bleeding.

Mr. Xiang's voice came to her ears from the wind: "It's not for free, but it's sold to them for twenty coins per bucket."

"Everything in that rice field is given to them, and they harvest and glean it themselves."

While Xiang Ci was bandaging the youngster's wound, he listened carefully to what his grandfather said.

"The price is very cheap at this time, but if they harvest and dry it themselves, the price is expensive."

The rice sold to them by grain and oil stores costs between ten and twenty pennies. The rice is bought and can be eaten directly.

The people of Xiejia Village started from the very beginning, which was expensive.

But at this time, the bran is very expensive, so selling it to the Xie family like this is a bargain for them.

Because that large rice field does not belong to one family, but many families are connected together.

Therefore, the copper coins obtained must be distributed to the families in that field.

The number of pounds of land is calculated based on the average number in Xiangjia Village, which is a lot of money.

After Mr. Xiang finished speaking, he looked at the people in the fields and said, "I thought that the fields were ruined by them, so I had to ask them to compensate, so I took it upon myself to make the decision."

"If you are unhappy, I still have food here and can compensate you."

The villagers quickly shook their heads and waved their hands: "What did Li Zheng say? I have harvested three waves of grain, and I am short of copper coins. I want copper coins."

"I also want copper coins. I originally planned to sell this rice field after planting it. This is just right and saves me a trip."

"That's right. Selling to the town is the same as selling to them. What's more, selling to the Xie family means you don't have to harvest it yourself, which saves trouble."

"That's right. It really saves me the effort and lets me rest. I want copper coins."

The villagers in that field all asked for copper coins, and they all laughed and laughed.

Mr. Xiang looked at these lovely villagers with deep emotion. They all respected him when they said this.

In the disaster after the locusts, no matter how stupid people are, they will not sell their grains and wait for the winter.

If they say they want to sell grain, they are just trying to stop themselves from blaming themselves so much.

Mr. Xiang suppressed his excitement and said slowly: "Okay, come here and register. When the people from Xiejia Village bring the copper coins, we will settle the payment directly."

He looked at the other villagers: "Everyone else, please go back and do whatever you need to do."

The head of the rice field is left to register here, and everyone else goes home.

The noisy morning just ended.

After Xiang Ci followed Doctor Xiang Ling to bandage the injured, only Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai were left.

Both of them suffered minor injuries of varying degrees, which may or may not be treated.

When Xiang Ci looked towards them, the two of them also looked towards her.

Both of them saw the entanglement and embarrassment in Xiao Qi's eyes.

Whether to treat third brother's injury and let Kaikai go without thinking too much, or to take this opportunity to treat Kaikai's injury and speak clearly to him.

After thinking about it, Xiang Ci decided to give him medical treatment and talk to him clearly.

But Ye Kai made a move before her and walked to Doctor Xiang Ling.
