She delivered food in ancient times

Chapter 10 Generous

Dabao and the three of them could understand the meaning of the words that food prices will rise again in the future.

Meng Qing originally planned to save some money to buy the Enlightenment three-piece set, but now that she knows that food prices will rise again, she has to adjust the use of funds.

Use most of the money to buy food.

After thinking about it, she was still reluctant to buy this year's new rice, but chose to buy last year's or the year before last's old rice. Meng Qing asked, and the price would be about ten cents cheaper than this year's new rice.

That is 1 Dou 30 Wen.

Meng Qing became ruthless, and bought 5 dou of old rice, which cost 150 Wen, and ordered 3 Dou of wheat flour, which cost 60 Wen.

A total of 210 articles.

It can be said that all the public money was spent.

Fortunately, when I came out, I made an agreement with Dahua and the others. If the money is not enough, I can borrow tips.

I bought salt and sugar with the remaining five Wen, which were only a small bag.

But Meng Qing's heart ached.

In the end, I was still not willing to spend a lot of money on their tips.

When they went back, Meng Qing was carrying a large bag of grain, immersed in his own thoughts, while Da Baoshitou Xiaofeng and the others walked behind with other grains.

Very tacitly did not disturb Meng Qing, always felt that she was thinking about something very serious.

At the same time, they were also pondering what Sister Xiaoqing and the shopkeeper said just now, trying to analyze the reason why Sister Xiaoqing looked so dignified from it.

When they returned to their stronghold, Dahua and the others who stayed behind were all stunned by the things in Dabao's hands.

How did you buy so much food?

Although he was puzzled, seeing that his younger brothers were about to lose their grip, he immediately stepped forward to take the grain bags in their hands and put them away.

And asked Erya, Yaya to bring water over quickly.

The three people who drank the water were considered alive.

Meng Qing also got a cup of cool water.

Seeing the two blushes on Yaya's dark face, her irritable mood is gone.

After drinking the water, I feel more comfortable all over.Her body is really too bad, such a little thing makes her almost weak.

Dahua also learned about the food price increase from Dabao and the others, and only then did she understand why they bought so much food back.

It feels like enough for them to eat for a long time.

Everyone is happy to have so much food, which means they will not go hungry, and this is the first time they have used money to buy food.

I am very happy in my heart.

They are also people who can afford food.

Dahua is a little more mature. After hearing what Dabao said about the food price increase, she came to ask Meng Qing specifically.

"Sister Xiaoqing, does the increase in food prices mean that there will be more and more people like us in the future?" The little faces were all wrinkled together, and the sadness in the eyes was obvious.

Meng Qing had always been optimistic about Dahua, so she didn't mean to hide it from her.

Instead, he nodded and taught carefully: "The price of food can reflect many problems. Now the price of food has nearly doubled compared to the original, which shows that the disaster in the north is very serious. I also escaped from the north. We When the family left, the ground was already in a panic, and the whole village fled as much as it could.

Food prices are still rising now, which shows that the disaster over there has not eased at all. "

When speaking, Meng Qing looked very serious. Although she hadn't experienced it personally, the scene in Yuanshen's memory made her feel as if she was there.

Only those who have escaped can appreciate the horror of it.

If the original body wasn't for the desperate protection of the parents at home, I'm afraid my life would have been lost long ago. Even so, she was the only one in the whole family.

Thinking of this, sadness appeared in Meng Qing's eyes.

It made Dahua feel sour in her heart.

One couldn't hold back and hugged Meng Qing.

Woo woo cried.

Meng Qing was also dumbfounded by Dahua's crying, and she didn't react for a while, but her body still subconsciously hugged her back.

"What's the matter, Dahua, why are you crying all of a sudden?" Seeing that Dahua was crying all the time without speaking, Meng Qing immediately became anxious after recovering.

Knowing Dahua for so long, this is the first time seeing Dahua cry, and crying so sadly.

The other people who were surrounded by the grain heard the crying and hurried over.

It turned out to be their eldest sister, Da Hua, who was crying.

I was a little dazed for a moment.

Fortunately, Dahua is a boss who wants to save face. Hearing the messy footsteps behind him, he knew that the younger brothers had come, so he gradually stopped crying.

With red eyes, she said to Meng Qing: "Sister Xiaoqing, I'm fine, I just miss my parents." The voice was so small that only Meng Qing, who was closest to her, could hear clearly.

Knowing that she didn't want others to know, Meng Qing thoughtfully waved at Xiaofeng and the others, telling them to leave first.

Although they were very worried, Xiaofeng and the others walked away sensibly, but their steps were rather slow, and they looked back while walking.

It seems that in this way more information can be heard.

Among them, Dabao and Huaxin are flexible, and even want to eavesdrop secretly.

They were taken away by Xiaofeng and Shitou one by one.

Meng Qing hugged the big flower and patted her on the back lightly.

Said softly: "Dahua, although we haven't known each other for long, you are still my savior. In terms of age, you are a few years younger than me. In my heart, you are like my sister. So what is in my heart? Wronged, if you want, you can tell me, and I promise not to tell anyone else."

Maybe it was because she cried too much just now, Dahua paused a bit when she spoke, Meng Qing didn't mean to urge her, and listened to her words patiently.

It turns out that Dahua's life experience is very similar to Meng Qing's.

The family is considered a wealthy family in the village, and she didn't want to be robbed by bandits. She was the only child and was put into the firewood pile by her mother, so she escaped the catastrophe.

She was sent to the Yuying Hall by the government. Although she was severely frightened, it also made her have an extraordinary attachment to power.

From the fact that a girl can become the leader of a beggar force, even if the team is full of half-grown children, this is enough to show Dahua's ability.

Seeing his parents die in front of his eyes, such an experience is too cruel for a child.

Meng Qing didn't dare to think about how Dahua came here in the past few years. She didn't mean to interrupt Dahua, but after Dahua finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, as if she had just returned to her own voice, and murmured: " Dahua, let me give you a name, do you remember what your original last name was?"

"Name? Is it a formal name? My surname is Ji, but I don't know the specific character. Originally, my father said that when I was older, I would ask Mr. Xiucai to help me get one." Dahua said in a low voice.

"Will Dahua want me to name you?" Meng Qing looked into Dahua's eyes and asked, "The new name represents a new, different and bright future."

This is what Meng Qing hopes to bring to these unfortunate children.

A brand new future.
