Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 243

"Go take a nap, you have to go to work in the afternoon, and you have not recovered your energy. The team leader who dozes off at work will not spare you lazy students."

Ma Guifang pointed at the girls while pretending to remind them seriously.

The girls were no longer afraid of her, they swarmed into the door of the dormitory with giggles, and they were obedient.

Outside the gate, only Chunniang and Ma Guifang were left.

Ma Guifang nodded at her, motioning for her to come with her.

The two came to the edge of the field under the school, Chunniang couldn't help it, stopped, and asked tentatively: "Director Ma, what do you need from me?"

Ma Guifang didn't nod or shake her head, she just pointed to the neatly planted fields with green branches in front of her and said:
"In previous years, the food would not grow so well. Before the Xu family came, it was sparse, lack of water and fertilizer, and every time the autumn harvest was not available, people in the village would die."

"It's hard to dig wild vegetables and eat them until winter, and a lot of people will freeze to death."

"At that time, as soon as the snow melted and spring came, people wrapped in straw mats were everywhere and buried."

"Later, the owner sold the village to the Xu family. Just after the autumn harvest, the owner took away all the grain, which did not benefit the Xu family at all, and did not leave half a catty of grain for us tenants."

"Do you know what I was thinking when I hugged my skinny boy at that time?" Ma Guifang looked at Chunniang and asked softly.

Chunniang grew up in the city. Her father was the accountant in Gongsun Zan's house, and her mother was also the daughter of a rich man in the city. Although her living conditions were not as good as those of the young ladies, they were much better than ordinary people in the city.

At least, as a girl, in this era, she has not been rejected by her parents, and her ability to survive well proves that her family's conditions are good.

Not to mention teaching her arithmetic and having two little maids to take care of her daily life, things that only a family who loves their daughter will do.

Growing up so big, the farthest door Chunniang has ever traveled is from Yuyang County to Xujiazhuang, three miles away.

She had heard the two little maids talk about everything outside, but she had no idea what it was like.

Asked by Ma Guifang, the girl couldn't answer at all, she just deduced in her heart that she couldn't eat, and there was a child, and the cold winter was coming, so...
"Do you want to bring your child to seek death together?" Chunniang asked tremblingly, afraid that the result she deduced would be too cruel.

Ma Guifang shook her head, with a bitter smile on her lips, "I'm just a rough country woman, and my family is just an ordinary mud leg. We people fled from the south to the north, just trying to survive."

Chunniang looked at Ma Guifang in surprise, "Don't you want to die? Then what do you think?"

Ma Guifang raised her eyelids, stared at her with those dark brown pupils, and said word by word:
"What the head of the family and I think is to exchange our child with the daughter of Zheng Lai's next door. When we really can't stand it anymore, we will use this in exchange for the bones and bones to survive this winter."

Chunniang was so startled by this look that she couldn't help but backed away, almost falling off the field ridge, Ma Guifang stretched out her hand and pulled her, which made Chunniang cry out "ah" in fright.

After yelling, he realized that his reaction was too big, so he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Ma Guifang in shock, not knowing why she would tell him such a thing.

Ma Guifang waited for her to calm down, and then continued: "Later the Xu family came."

Her eyes changed, from the darkness in the desperate situation just now, there was a little bit of light.

"Madam asked the big guys to build roads, and they will be given food when they build roads. Although there are not many bowls of gruel per person per day, but relying on the two bowls of gruel per person per day, my children don't have to go to Zheng's house." Do and bone rot."

"We thought it would be nice to have a stutter, but we didn't expect the Xu family to build kang houses for the big guys again, and prepare warm clothes for everyone before winter comes."

"You don't know, this is the most peaceful winter I've ever lived in my life. The third lady raised a big fat pig and killed all of it for us bitches. It's the first time the baby in the family tastes like meat. I'm so happy." Gotta go straight in circles."

"And these only need us sluts. If you work hard, you can get it. Who didn't work hard in the past? The big guys can't wait to risk their lives to do it, just thinking about it after the boss collects [-]% of the grain during the autumn harvest. , there will be more left at home.”

However, no matter how much they work, they will only get less and less, and finally they can't survive and become refugees.

In this world, it is extremely difficult for untouchables like them to beg for food, as if they will never be able to eat enough.

In the middle of the night, she woke up from the nightmare. She was afraid that she was still in the dream. She had to wait for dawn, when she heard the school bell ringing in class, and saw the smoke rising from the window, before she dared to believe that the Xu family was a It's really coming.

Chunniang was stunned when she heard that, she looked around, and suddenly found that the Zhuangzi in front of her was different from what she saw before.

The blast furnace of the factory in the southeast corner was running day and night. Although the big men who entered and exited were covered in sweat, none of their faces showed the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or complaint.

What they have in their eyes is only the sparkling energy and hope.

The expectation of a better life in the future supports them to work tirelessly.

Because they now see a brand new road, a road where farmers can own their own land, cultivate it, and enjoy the fruits of their hard work as long as they keep working hard.

Chunniang thought of the new words taught in the school that she couldn't understand before—equality and justice, these were the two words she couldn't understand the most.

Isn't the world divided into classes from the beginning?How about equality and justice?

Zhou Li taught people that the ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister. The minister must be loyal to the ruler, and the ruler must love his ministers.

Qinglu told people that a powerful family has more rights, and civilian slaves cannot disobey a powerful family, and they must obey and obey to be a good slave and a good commoner.

Chunniang's thoughts were already in chaos, she couldn't control her chaotic brain at the moment, subconsciously followed what was in her heart, and asked:

"What is bone rot?"

Ma Guifang explained to her that "hegulan" is a slang word for cannibalism. People who are eaten are always called two-legged sheep.

This day's dinner, and the next two days' breakfast, lunch and dinner, Chunniang vomited after eating, and because Xujiazhuang's regulations forbid anyone to waste food, she was afraid of being sent to the mine to work as a coolie, so she could only ask the cook for a few bowls Soup, barely swallowed.

On the third day, looking at Fu Bao and other female students who were eating big mouthfuls, she suddenly seemed to have figured something out, picked up her rice bowl, and started eating big mouthfuls.

After all, only when you are full can you have the energy to work hard in the afternoon.
.
In Yuyang County Yamen, Gongsun Zan, who had been waiting for Wang's reply for a long time, was a little irritable, so he called Zhao Bei and asked him:
"It's been a month. How are the two concubines sent to the Xu family? Is Wang Pingping making trouble?"

Zhao Bei glanced at Gongsun Zan first, and couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, so he lowered his head, closed his eyes and replied:
"They are now working as female workers in the Xu family textile factory. They have all graduated from the elementary literacy class and have been separated from their status as concubines of the Xu family. Now the two of them earn 16 work points a day, have food and shelter, and look much better. Chunniang also became Mrs. Xu's personal accountant, that is, the accountant."

Gongsun Zan's face darkened, and he raised his hand to signal Zhao Bei to stop talking and get out of here, he wants to be alone!
