Cannon fodder attack only wants to farm

Chapter 82 The Old Mayor's Embarrassment

He Zifeng dispelled the cold air from his body before entering the house.His son immediately flew over and threw himself into his arms.

He Zifeng picked up his son.

Xiao Heran didn't see He Zifeng for half a month after returning home, and asked Qiuyu every day for inquiries.

Ever since she started school, little He Ran felt that she had grown up and she wouldn't let her be hugged.But today his father came back and made an exception: "Daddy." However, his voice was crisp and sweet.

He Zifeng smiled and said, "Hey."

Qiuyu came in together, seeing the grinning spirit of the two of them, with a smile on the corners of their mouths.Said: "Are you going back to the county today?"

"Not for now." He Zifeng said.

The weather is getting colder these days, and the business of shops in the county town has almost stopped, only the porridge in the morning is still maintained.Many people were introduced to work by He Zifeng, and the number of people who came to drink porridge was much less. It was enough to boil two or three pots a day, and Qiuyu didn't need to go there.

Qiuyu has been in the village all this time.Counting carefully, I haven't seen He Zifeng for more than half a month.I also miss him very much, but I can't get into He Zifeng's arms in front of the child.

Qiuyu had a lot to say, but seeing He Zifeng's slightly thinner appearance, she said, "Everything is fine at home."

He Zifeng nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work." It is not easy to manage the house well. Fortunately, they stocked up a lot of firewood and coal before the cold, and the house was still warm.

This kind of warm place really made He Zifeng want to sleep.But I feel that it is too early to go to bed now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep at night after sleeping during the day.

Just as he was hesitating, Mrs. Fang came in from the outside and saw He Zifeng, with a smile on her face: "Just now I heard the doorbell and thought I heard it wrong!" Then he looked at He Zifeng and said after a long while: "I lost weight."

He Zifeng nestled in the county government office every day, and there were many things there, so he couldn't sleep for two hours a day.

"No, maybe it's because the clothes look too much." He Zifeng didn't want them to worry.

Fang said with a smile, "I'll steam some rice for you today, and you won't be able to eat anything good over there." To the villagers, rice porridge is considered a snack.Rice is even more luxurious.

Qiuyu said, "Yes, steam another bowl of egg custard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Heran's eyes lit up: "Little Daddy, can I eat too?"

Everyone in the room laughed.

There is only such a baby bump in their family, how could he not have a part in making delicious food?

Qiuyu said: "Yes!"

He Zifeng originally wanted to say that there was no need to prepare delicious food for him.But seeing his son eagerly looking forward to it, he didn't have the nerve to disappoint him.

Xiao Heran also likes egg custard, with a little balsamic vinegar on top, he can eat half a bowl of it.

On weekdays, only Qiuyu and Fang Shi are at home, and they make something to eat.Now when He Zifeng comes back, he will put on a show to prepare delicious food for him.

The little boy followed suit.

He Zifeng held the child for a while, then put the child on the kang.

Fang didn't burn the kang during the day, and felt that it was a waste to burn the two houses together. If it was cold, he would come here to tease his grandson, and just go back to burn a little at night.

He Zifeng said: "I heard that you already know how to recite poems?"

Xiao Heran hummed, and recited the poem to He Zifeng openly.

There were bursts of voices reciting poems in the room, and the room was quite warm. After Xiao Heran finished reciting, looking at He Zifeng, he wanted to ask for a compliment, and the little guy's thoughts were all on his face.

Seeing this, He Zifeng said, "My son is so smart!"

He immediately became happy.

Seeing this, Fang and Qiuyu couldn't help but tell He Zifeng: "This child has the best relationship with you."

Xiao Heran was a little embarrassed by grandma's words, so he rubbed into grandma's arms.

Fang smiled and hugged her little grandson in her arms, he is really a clever little ghost, very cute.

He Zifeng is the happiest, with his mother, daughter-in-law, and son by his side.The whole person is also very relaxed.It would be nice if the snow stopped in a few more days.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside, and it sounded like there was more than one person coming.

He Zifeng had trained in the county government and was very sensitive to all kinds of footsteps.Immediately, he frowned, then put on a cotton jacket and wanted to go out.

He knew the people who came, and they were the old mayor's son and a few strong men who had arranged for him to divide the family and recommended him to be a servant in the county government.He has great kindness to He Zifeng, now seeing his son's serious face, he tightened his heart and said, "What's wrong?"

The old mayor's son said: "Our village can't live anymore, father asked me to borrow some food." He felt a little uncomfortable when he said this.

He Zifeng said: "Why, didn't the villages notify you?" These people in the village are even better at hoarding goods.

They grow land according to the sky, and it is okay in a good year, but what if they rely on food storage to support their lives in a bad year.

The son of the old mayor said: "It's all our village chief!" He said with some complaints.Then he hastily told He Zifeng about the matter.This year the village chief went to the city, and there were other village chiefs. The acquaintances met and talked about things and drank a few drinks. After getting drunk, they forgot about the business.

It just so happened that those profiteers charged five cents a catty for coarse grain.These farmers have never collected such a high price for so many years.The surplus food had already been sold before, so I was afraid of missing out on this round of good prices, so I sold the rations.

It was already five days later when the village chief remembered this important event.When he told the villagers what happened, everyone was dumbfounded.At this time, the merchant who bought grain from them came back again, and the common people discussed with him that they wanted to redeem the grain.

Unexpectedly, the grain merchant was not so easy to talk to, so he doubled it directly, and bought it for ten cents a catty.

This is simply extortion, and of course the people in their village will not do it.The food merchants are gone.Their grain tanks are almost bottomed out.Every family is saving food and clothing. This year, it will be cold in a few days. It will snow and freeze, and there will be no food at all.

The old mayor was so angry that he fell ill. He was already old, and such an illness was very dangerous.I just want to borrow food from the county.The old mayor fell down and couldn't go in person, and his son was not qualified enough to see the county magistrate, so he had to ask He Zifeng to pass a message.

This is using He Zifeng's favor!

He Zifeng naturally couldn't let them be embarrassed, and said: "Cheng, I'll go to the county for a visit, and you tell the old mayor that if the county refuses to send grain, I will buy a thousand catties for you personally and send it to you. You must take care of it." Good health."

The old mayor's son was moved to tears, and these days he has been worrying about food.The village couldn't stand it anymore, his father was in a hurry, and the village chief also went out to borrow food, but he was rejected several times. I was really afraid that half of the villagers would starve to death if they couldn't borrow food this time.

Fortunately, there is He Zifeng!
