Chapter 195 The officers and soldiers are coming
Looking at Tao Wuji who was still sitting in the yard drinking tea during this period.
It's a bit surprising. He's so good that it's a bit inexplicable.
There were no signs before, and it healed completely as soon as it was said.
After he recovered from his illness, he remembered everything that happened during the period of his illness, but he forgot the only thing that happened: he always mistook Xia Shengsheng for Jingwan.
It seemed like everyone had discussed this beforehand, so has anyone brought it up again?
A figure walked in hurriedly and briskly from outside the door!
"Is the meal ready? I'm starving. What time is it? You guys are too slow in cooking. The meal is ready but you sit there and eat it secretly without calling me!!"
The visitor was Doctor Zhao who lived next door.
These days, Doctor Zhao took credit for curing Tao Wuji and continued to eat and drink for free at Xia Shengsheng's place.
Although he has been eating for free at Xia Shengsheng's place for a long time, he can always find reasons to prove that he is not here to eat and drink for free.
"It's almost ready. I'm just about to ask someone to call you! How dare we sneak in and eat first? Without you, we can't even finish our meal, don't you think?"
Xia Shengsheng quickly coaxed the old man in. Although Doctor Zhao was always picky and came to eat for free when he had nothing to do, Xia Shengsheng still liked Doctor Zhao very much.
There is a real feeling that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.
In this age of panic, with the help of Dr. Zhao as a reconciler, people can't help but feel more relaxed.
When the people in the yard were preparing to go into the house to eat, the sound of gong in the village rang out again!
The sound goes "dang-dang-dang, dang-dang-dang". Although it sounds urgent, it is not a signal of danger.
If there is danger approaching, the gong must be struck continuously.
Judging from the situation, there must be something important to discuss.
"This old horsehead really knows how to pick the right time. Before the food is even served, everyone has to go over to listen to his nonsense!"
Doctor Zhao was unwilling to eat. He was really hungry, so he came over to eat without waiting to be called. He didn't expect that he would have to endure it this time.
"Let's go take a look! We can come back later to eat. Otherwise, even if we eat, we won't know what's going on. We won't be able to eat in peace!!"
Not only were there rapid sounds of gongs outside, but there were also several people going door to door shouting at people, saying that everyone except children should gather under the big locust tree in the middle of the village, because the village chief had something important to say.
Xia Shengsheng specifically told the children to eat first if they were hungry.
Yiyi just heard Doctor Zhao shouting that he was hungry, so she wrapped a freshly-fried sugar-coated pancake in oil paper and gave it to Doctor Zhao, asking him to fill his stomach first.
"Girls are more careful, unlike those brats. Look, if anyone marries Yiyi in the future, he will be blessed!"
Yiyi is already 13 years old this year. According to ancient times, she has reached the age for marriage. Girls would start planning marriages at the age of or , and get engaged and married at the age of or .
But at this special time, no one wants to think about marriage.
It just so happens that Xia Shengsheng doesn’t want a girl to get married so early.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is the age of high school students, they have to get married and have children. It’s okay to have a boy, but it’s too bad for the health of a girl.
Yiyi blushed a little at Dr. Zhao's joke, but her upbringing made her stand there confidently, and she didn't hide back in the house out of embarrassment.
Tao Siyuan looked at the graceful Yi Yi and thought to himself that if Yi Yi really got married in the future, he, as her brother, would definitely have to keep a close eye on her.
You can't just pick any boy and marry such a good girl like Yi Yi.
There was a knock on the door.
"Aunt Xia, two soldiers have come to our village. My grandfather and two soldiers are waiting for us under the big locust tree! You should go and have a look!"
Xia Shengsheng and Doctor Zhao looked at each other.
It is not a good thing if the soldiers come at this time.
No wonder the gong sounded so quickly.
"coming……"
"Let's go! I'm afraid it's going to give us another problem!"
No matter what problems the court encounters, Xia Shengsheng, Tao Wuji, Doctor Zhao and others will not be afraid.
Because they have silver in their hands, no matter whether the court is collecting grain, silver or soldiers this time!
They all have ways to solve problems with money.
But it’s different for other families in the village. After a few times.
Each household may not have much silver, and there is not much food either.
If the imperial court causes any trouble again, I'm afraid it will be unbearable!
Tao Wuji and Tao Siyuan also followed Xia Shengsheng and Doctor Zhao, and they went to the village together!
Ma Kui's family stood at the door, waiting for Xia Shengsheng to pass by. Then they walked over and merged with Xia Shengsheng and his group.
"Sister Xia, I'm so nervous. What do you think are the reasons why these soldiers came this time?" Ma Kuijia asked with a worried look on his face.
"It's just the same few things. They eat our flesh and drink our blood. Anyway, they can't just give us things for no reason!"
In fact, we all understand that we have been in difficulties for such a long time, and many people have died of starvation and thirst!
The imperial court ignored them. Suddenly, two soldiers came. It was impossible that they were here to bring them disaster relief food.
"Sister Xia, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not, and you know the situation of my family.
Last time your brother Ma Kui got into trouble, it was thanks to your help that not only was he safe, but the family’s money and food were also not lost.
If something really happens this time, I still have some very useful silver and food in my hands, but I’m afraid that I will have no money to survive in the future, so…”
Xia Sheng stated the intention of the Bai Ma Kui family. She still had eleven or twelve taels of silver in her hand, and several hundred kilograms of grain at home. As long as the court did not go too far this time, she could pay it out.
I'm just worried that there may not be enough food and money at home in the future, so I'd like to tell you in advance. If I really need to borrow something at that time, this will be a precaution.
"I understand, Sister Ma, my family is better off than the people in the village, but you also know that my family has a large population, and the expenses on food and daily necessities are higher than those of other families.
But don't worry, if your family is really short of food, I will try to lend you as much as I can! As long as my sister-in-law doesn't mind the amount when the time comes!"
Xia Shengsheng is not a savior and it is impossible for him to take care of every household in the village.
But she still remembered the help she received from the Ma Kui family, the village chief Ma’s family, and the Li family on the first day she traveled through time.
This kindness must naturally be repaid when they are in trouble.
As for the other people in the village, they can only decide based on the circumstances when the time comes.
Ma Kui's family stood there holding Xia Shengsheng's hand, with tears in their eyes.
"Sister Xia, you, you are really my sister, but don't worry, as long as sister-in-law can hold on, I will never say anything to you. I understand that it is not easy for anyone at this time. Sister-in-law really doesn't know how to thank you!"
Xia Shengsheng said a few words of comfort, asked Ma Kui to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and pulled her to catch up with the people in front, without saying another word...
