Broken leg by silly daughter-in-law

Liu Luochen was so energetic, he picked up some delicious food for him, and after a while, the small bowl in front of Nan Nian bulged like a hillock.

Liu Luochen kept looking at him with a smile, and kept telling him, "Eat, eat quickly, or it will be cold in a while. I have been carefully preparing these dishes since the afternoon."

Liu Luochen was a foodie before, and he liked to cook his favorite dishes, but since he got to know Nan Nian, he found that it is also a very happy thing to look at the people he likes and eat his own dishes.

If Nan Nian was very moved by the contract etiquette that Liu Luochen made up for him just now, then these long-term relationships penetrated into his heart bit by bit.

With a smile on her face, Nan Nian gulped down all the dishes in front of Bai, and thoughtfully served Liu Luochen with soup and vegetables.

How can there be no good food for a long time? In the first half of the year, I specially asked the shopkeeper to buy the 20-year-old Nuuhong, and I specially saved it for today.

"I used to read books that say that the old Nv'erhong is the best wine, but in our place, very few people can drink the real old wine." In an instant, it was like filling the whole room. "Wow, it smells so good."

Nan Nian's eyes lit up when he smelled the mellow aroma of wine.

He is also a wine lover, so he stood up and took the half-sized wine jar from Liu Luochen's hand, poured two glasses full, and raised his glass to Liu Luochen: "Thank you, Achen, this cup is toast to you."

At the same time, Nan Nian also felt ashamed of his doubts before. Liu Luochen was so good that he even suspected that the other party wanted to take a concubine. This glass of wine was also full of his apology, but he didn't say it clearly.

"Okay, cheers!" Liu Luochen raised his glass heroically, touched Nan Nian, and then smiled slyly: "Can this be counted as our joint wine?"

"Forget it!" Nan Nian nodded firmly, raised his glass and touched Liu Luochen again, then solemnly raised his head and drank.

When the wine is drunk, it is just right.

The two returned to the bedroom together, and the spring was beautiful again, and the curtains on the bed were swaying.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Yu and Wang He came back, only to find that the yard was quiet.

Xiao Yu is a little kid, seeing the silence in the courtyard in a daze, scratching his head strangely: "Why didn't the second master get up and punch?"

Aunt Du continued to work after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, reached out and tapped Xiao Yu's little head, and scolded with a smile: "What do you know, you little brat, hurry up and get some firewood to the kitchen."

Aunt Du smiled and said, "What should I do? I'll boil hot water and cook for the masters."

By the time Liu Luochen finished washing and sitting at the dining table, it was already bright and approaching morning.

Seeing the smiling eyes of Aunt Du and Wang He, he has been able to calm down now.

After all, these few people have gotten used to it these days, but he still deliberately picked some light and easy-to-digest dishes for Nan Nian to eat.

According to common sense, after the new year, the temperature will warm up little by little. Liu Luochen was also preparing to open a shop, but found that the sky outside was overcast these days, and the surrounding temperature was still very low.

For several days, the sky did not clear.

It was like a sign before the heavy rain in summer, but how could it rain in such a cold weather.It could only be snow, thinking of this, Liu Luochen felt a little uneasy.

This anxiety became more and more intense, and finally Nan Nian was really worried about his appearance, and the two decided to go to a nearby village to buy surplus food.

In the nearby villages, there are countless landlords and wealthy households in Nakata, and they usually store a lot of grain, and when the spring is lean, they can sell it to grain merchants, and they can get a good price.

Liu Luochen didn't lack money, and he wanted more, so he bought a lot of grain at the price of the spring harvest.

Although it was a collection of grain, Liu Luochen was also extremely measured. He did not collect grain from the retail households in the village, but collected surplus grain from some wealthy landlords as reserves.

As for those families of rich landlords, the leftover food is enough for their family to feed for a year or two, so it is not a worry.

The rice resident in ancient times has not been shelled, so as long as it is dry and ventilated, these rice can be preserved for a long time.

After Liu Luochen deliberately filled the cellar in his yard, he filled the cellar under the Shantang and the shop.

He bought some miscellaneous grains and corn, and after two full days of hard work, his heart finally settled down.

Although there were coal mines in ancient times, the mining volume of underground coal mines was indeed relatively small.

Liu Luochen sold a lot of firewood, and prepared some coal to pile up in the middle of the yard, which would be covered with tarpaulin.

Liu Luochen looked at it, listened to the tall pile of firewood, his heart settled down, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead before he rested.

For two days in a row, there were no accidents, and even the weather was slightly warmer, but the air was a little stuffy.

Liu Luochen couldn't help but wonder if he was too worried.

So after he slept with Nan Nian that night, it snowed heavily that night, but he felt the temperature around him drop suddenly. The drowsy Liu Luochen let out a breath, stuffed himself into Nan Nian's arms, pursed his lips and sighed heavily. went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, he saw thick snow falling in the middle of the yard, which was as high as half a person, and the snow in the sky was densely packed, as if it didn't stop, he clenched his fists silently.

When I was in Liujia Village before, although there was heavy snowfall, there was no shortage of food and firewood for heating in the farmhouse, whether it was straw or dead wood.

Liu Luochen's heart sank when he thought of the poor families in the town who often went to the shantang to receive relief. He was afraid that the tiles on the eaves were leaking, so how could they be able to shelter them from the wind and cold.

"Don't worry, if the snow is too heavy, the imperial court will definitely come forward to help the disaster." Nan Nian saw Liu Luochen's frowning and felt a little distressed. He reached out and squeezed his shoulder, and said flickeringly: "Let's send some people in the Shantang first." Workers, go to the homes of those widowed and lonely elderly people, first help them repair the broken roofs and eaves, and then take care of the doors and windows for their homes."

Nan Nian's deep and mellow voice soothed Liu Luochen. He held Nan Nian's right hand, and the familiar temperature gave him incomparable strength.

Without further delay, the two of them went to the shop assistants according to the previous plan, and gave some money to them to help Shantang to repair the houses of those lonely and widowed elderly households who were particularly difficult.

The snow fell more and more, as if a hole had been opened in the sky, and it usually fell continuously for seven days and seven nights.

Liu Luochen had to get up every night, fearing that the heavy snow would not stop and the roof would be crushed. So far, none of them had slept a single sound.

The three adults all got up to clear the snow every two hours in the middle of the night, and they were much haggard.

On the morning of the eighth day, the heavy snow finally gradually stopped.

Liu Luochen not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but felt even more heavy in his heart.

At this juncture, the grain merchants in the town are about to tighten their supply of grain, and there is a long queue in front of the grain shop, and the price of rice has indeed risen.

Due to the cold weather, there are more and more sick people, the doctor in the pharmacy is too busy, the patients are overcrowded, and those ordinary people, I am afraid that life will be even more difficult.

Liu Luochen and Nan Nian are ordinary people, they can only do their best to help those around them.

The shantang has been in operation for such a long time, Liu Luochen deliberately asked the steward to record orphans and people without labor.

During this snowstorm, he also focused on sending people to pack the previously prepared grain and wood into small packages and send them to everyone who really needed them.

Out of prudent considerations, Liu Luochen did not openly open the door to eat porridge for those people, because he was afraid that those who still had enough money to live would swarm in to take advantage of it, which would not achieve his goal of helping the victims.

However, Liu Luochen specially spent a lot of money to hire a doctor in the town to come to the shantang for consultation every day, boil some decoctions to dispel the cold, and put them at the entrance of the shantang as a gift.

The house leak happened to rain all night, and due to the heavy snow blocking the mountains, the villagers in the nearby villages had no way to bring firewood to the town to exchange for money, and the town residents did not have much firewood in their hands.

The snow that is taller than a person surrounds the residents, and the air is very cold. Although there is no thermometer, the water outside has turned into ice, and it is minus [-] degrees to say the least.

Seeing that the firewood has been burned out, many people have to chop up some unused furniture wood in the house to keep warm, which is also very distressing.

There are people crying almost every day in the town. There are not many things for heating at home, and they are reluctant to use them. The sick or old and weak at home can't stand the cold, and they will die after falling asleep overnight. All of a sudden, the whole town panicked.

And Liu Luochen had limited coal and wood for heating, so he could only send some to the homes of helpless children and elderly people.

Liu Luochen hugged Mrs. Tang all day long, wrapped himself in the quilt, and lit a charcoal basin in the room, which made him feel much better.

With the account book in his hand, he calculated the daily donations, which were not small sums.

Even so, his meager strength alone is nothing to the tens of thousands of residents in the entire town. Nan Nian saw Liu Luochen frowning all the time, came forward with hot tea, and rubbed his hands. Rubbing his frowning brows, he stuffed hot tea into his hands, and said: "Don't worry, the county magistrate in our town has some skills. I heard that he has opened a granary before, and the court also attaches great importance to it. I think he will come soon." It can be solved."

Liu Luochen put down the account book, sighed leisurely, took a sip of tea first, and then said: "It's just that these common people are going to suffer. Human means are relatively powerless in the face of natural disasters. Even our In this era, technology is so advanced, it is also helpless to deal with some natural disasters."

Nan Nian reached out and rubbed the back of Liu Luochen's neck, and said to comfort him: "Don't be overly concerned, you've already done enough, that Qu Han medicine that Shantang doesn't take every day has kept many people alive in this cold winter. It is because of your assistance that those children and old people who were displaced outside were able to save their lives."
