Chapter 152 Poor and Hateful

Chapter 152 Poor and hateful

Song Zhenping also ate so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits. At this time, he returned to his youthful appearance and was full of hope for his future life.

Song Liyun was reminded by Xiao An and bought ten more candied haws.

When leaving home yesterday morning, Heijin hugged the wheel and refused to let go. Xiao An left, and he also wanted to go to Fucheng with him.

There was no way, it was Song Liyun's first time to go to Fucheng, and she had business to do, so she couldn't take the big monkey with her.

Hei Jin had no choice but to promise to bring some delicious food back, and then Heijin walked away angrily.

The candied haws are also wrapped in several dry leaves.

Only now did Song Liyun know that these leaves were specially prepared for summer.

In the Wu Dynasty, wooden boxes and boxes were mostly used to store items.

Including the leather goods purchased by Wanjia, they were also packed in heavy wooden boxes and wrapped in oilcloth.

It seems that when we get back, we should quickly pick up the things soaked in the water and arrange them on the schedule.

After eating the candied haws, Xiao An was attracted by the candy man stall next to him.

So the three of them watched others blowing sugar paintings, and finally Xiao An got a sugar phoenix, which he happily held in his hand and paraded through the market.

When it was time for dinner, Song Liyun originally wanted to take the brothers to a restaurant for dinner, but Song Zhenping refused.

I just wanted to buy some steamed buns and eat them back at the inn.

Until now, Song Zhenping has never spent money with his own hands.

He didn't know the specific cost when ordering food at the inn.

Today he saw with his own eyes the money spent on the medicine, plus buying candied phoenixes made him feel distressed!

Song Liyun no longer forced herself to go to a restaurant, so she found a small restaurant that looked very clean.

Mutton soup and steamed buns.

Although the shop is small, the taste is still good.

It's just that the three brothers and sisters of the Song family have become accustomed to eating some vegetables every day. In the past two days since they were out, they only ate various noodles besides dry food, which made their mouths taste a little boring.

After eating, Song Liyun began to buy food to fill his small warehouse.

Money can be earned at will, but food is hard to find.

In the future, even if all the money in the family is gone, I can still sell food to help with emergencies.

The price of food in Pingyang Prefecture is lower than that in Qili County, and no one cares about how much you buy.

With Song Zhenping's cooperation, her little money bag was "filled" with another thousand kilograms of grain.

All the food in her storage space now adds up to enough for Baolinju to eat for three years after closing the door.

In addition, there are seeds and various agricultural tools that Song Zhenping needs.

Song Liyun also chose a set of carpenter's axes and planes.

Stay one more night at the inn.

Early the next morning, just as the city gate opened, the Song family's carriage left Pingyang.

Leaving the city went smoothly, but a mile outside the city gate, a group of refugees blocked the way for carriages and horses leaving the city.

In front of the Song family's carriage, a car was forced to stop. Those people rushed up and surrounded it.

Soon Song Liyun heard yelling and screaming. A homeless man pulled out a bundle and ran outside with it in his arms.

The people on the carriage wanted to give chase, but were unable to escape. They could only shout angrily and whip their whips at the refugees who surrounded them, trying to drive away quickly.

On the other side, some dirty-clothed refugees also ran towards the Song family's carriage.

Song Zhenping squeezed the reins tightly and trembled slightly. Only now did he understand what the innkeeper meant when he said he wanted to rob something.

Being stared at by the refugees at this time, I felt like a little lamb surrounded by vicious dogs.

Song Liyun was well prepared. Before the refugees could approach, she stood up, took out two large stacks of dry biscuits and threw them vigorously on both sides of the carriage.

The dry biscuit flew far away and landed on the ground, causing a burst of yelling.

The women, children and children walking behind stopped coming and started picking up cakes.

Several men who ran to the car were unwilling to give in and shouted: "Please, you kindhearted people, give me something more!"

But his hand came over to grab the basket placed next to Xiao An.

Xiao An was so frightened that he screamed. Song Liyun hugged him. A black stick as thick as a thumb appeared in his hand. He hit the stretched out wrists hard and said: "Brother, hurry up and drive away!"

"Ah! Ah!"

A man fell out of the crowd with his arms folded and screaming.

Although Song Zhenping was scared, when he heard Xiao An's scream, he no longer felt soft-hearted. He whipped at the refugees and waited for them to get out of the way, while the old horse drove the cart and ran wildly.

After running for several miles, there were no more refugees, and the old horse gradually slowed down.

The car in front of them was parked on the side of the road. The man sitting in the car had an angry look on his face. It was obvious that his belongings had been robbed.

Song Zhenping was still frightened. When she was at the inn, the waiter said that the refugees were only rushing out of the city, not into it.

Just because people leaving the city must have something in their packages, and they need to travel in a hurry. They don't have time and can't afford it. It's not easy to lose a few small packages and attract the pursuit of the city guards.

This was intentional, and now he can no longer sympathize with the refugees.

The feeling of returning home is like an arrow.

After getting rid of the refugees, the carriage started walking slowly again.

Xiao An was playing with the things he bought for Heijin and Aunt Yun while listening to his brother and sister talk.

When it got dark, the three siblings finally returned to Broken Gold Town.

This time there were no Song brothers waiting for the door, only Hei Jin squatting on the wall and looking eagerly.

There is a bright moon in the sky, and you can see far away from the courtyard wall.

When the carriage appeared outside the woods, Black Gold screamed and jumped from the wall.

Han Ming and Yun Niang also came out to welcome him.

The masters of Baolinju came back, and it was suddenly full of laughter and laughter, and the smell of food.

The next day, Song Zhenping went to the guard station to return the horse and sell it along the way.

Song Liyun went to the Broken Gold Club in the town.

Nowadays, the guild hall is taken care of by Mr. Zhang and others. There are tables, chairs and benches inside, where people in the town can have tea and chat in their free time.

It was still early when Song Liyun arrived, and there was only an old man sweeping the floor. When he saw her entering the hospital, he quickly put down his broom and came over to greet her.

At his age, he shouldn't be so respectful to Song Liyun, a daughter of a military family, but this hall was funded by the Song family. They only need to take care of it every day, and they can receive tea money to subsidize the use of the Jinglao Hall.

This is the Song family doing good deeds, so when he saw Song Liyun at this time, his words could not help but be respectful and flattering: "Good morning, girl, the hot water has just boiled, and the girl is just in time to drink the first pot of tea."

Song Liyun shook his head, put a basket of side dishes and several kilograms of white noodles on the table, looked at the empty tea table and asked: "No one is drinking tea and playing cards now? Is there any credit for the day?"

The old man said with a smile on his face: "Nowadays, people in the town are either farming or tending vegetables, and making vermicelli. They don't have much time to sit around, and they only earn fifty cents a day."

Although people in the town have less free time, they all like to come here to sit and inquire about some news.

I used to sit around for a long time with nothing to do, but now that I have money, I don't feel bad spending even a penny or two on tea.

"Oh! That's not bad!"

Song Liyun raised his eyebrows. With the income of fifty yuan, Jinglaotang can basically eat more fine food.

Hearing that she was coming, Old Man Zhang also hurriedly came over from the Jinglao Hall: "Miss Song, what's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you. Could you please inform the head of the town to come here?"

"Okay!" Old Man Zhang agreed and immediately went out to inform people door to door.

The original intention of establishing the Broken Gold Club was to give people in the town a place to chat and a convenient place to gather for meetings.
