Ou Guanyang shook his head, "Benefactor, you must accept it. This is my gratitude as a father. I know you didn't save my son just for this small gift of thanks."
But please understand me and let me not always bear the debt of gratitude."
Chen Miao thought for a moment and took it, "That would be disrespectful."
The maid wanted to take Qingxiang over, but the child hugged Chen Miao's neck and refused to let go. The parents felt particularly sad when they saw it.
A man in the living room stood up quickly when he saw them coming in.
"Brother, this is my benefactor. She sent Qingxiang back."
The man bowed deeply to Chen Miao, "This is the benefactor of our Jia family. Thank you for your kindness."
Chen Miao hugged Qingxiang and stepped aside without accepting the gift. "It's not such a big gift."
"Yes, very yes."
Chen Miao was very upset. Jia Guilan also noticed it and said, "Let's go, let the parents see their grandson."
"Brother, I'll be there later."
"You really should go over and explain it properly."
Ou Guanyang was very embarrassed and nodded, "Brother, I can do it."
Shengzi drove behind and went to Jia's house together.
When they arrived at Jia's house, they were filled with gratitude again. The two elderly people almost knelt down in front of Chen Miao, but she was so frightened that she immediately went over to support them.
"Old man, please don't do this. I feel very uncomfortable."
Jia Guilan also tried to persuade her, and finally the old man took the child and left the living room.
"My benefactor, please take a seat."
"Mr. Jia, I have something urgent. Let's get down to business and talk about the coal mine."
Finally, after discussion, the Coal Jing Jia family took over and gave them one hundred taels of gold, which was twenty gold bars.
Chen Miao didn't know the price, but she also knew that they paid a lot.
They agreed very happily, and after getting the gold bars, the Jia family followed them back to the coal mine.
There is no need to go through any formalities now. Chen Miao has some instructions given by the previous government. There are no names on them, just a description of the geographical location and permission to mine.
"Mr. Jia, if I have something else to do, I'll leave here first."
"Okay, Ms. Chen will definitely go to Jia's house when she comes here. Qingxiang has feelings for Ms. Chen. You are his benefactor and our benefactor."
"Mr. Jia, don't worry about this matter so much. See you again when you have the opportunity."
Chen Miao came out and saw Shengzi and more than fifty children outside.
"What are your plans?" Even if they are not waiting for him outside, he will ask them. Shengzi said that their oldest is sixteen, the youngest is ten, and they have eight girls.
The child who took the lead stepped forward and said, "Benefactor, let's go and talk."
The Jia family, who were very knowledgeable about current affairs, entered the house, and Chen Miao and others also went to the door of the coal yard.
"Benefactor, are you from the Red Army?"
Chen Miao was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask?"
"Benefactor, we heard before that the little Jaap escaped. A while ago, Wang Er and the others drank too much and said that the two armies were at war. We also know that the Red Army is the army of the common people."
Chen Miao knew that they had been here for many years, and had heard the news from outside.
"What do you think?"
"Benefactor, we who have no family want to join the army."
Chen Miao nodded, "It's a good idea, but I don't know where the troops are now."
After saying that, I saw their disappointed expressions. "Your bodies still need to recover and you are still young. If you must join the army and you can trust me, go to the border, where food is being prepared for the army."
My opinion is that you go there to recuperate for the winter and also learn some skills. Going to the battlefield does not just require you to be motivated, you still need to know a lot.
There were more than a dozen soldiers with missing arms and legs who had retreated from the battlefield.
If you still want to go to the battlefield, you can learn from them. If you don’t want to go and have nowhere to go, then farm over there and all the food will be sent to the battlefield."
The leader smiled and said, "Benefactor, let's go over there." His understanding was that there would be a safe place for them.
"Okay, let's register. If it's not convenient for me to send you there now, can you take the bus by yourself? Are any of you literate?"
Four people stood up and said, "Benefactor, we brothers and sisters are literate."
"Are you from the South?"
"To us brothers and sisters. My name is Peng Ziqing, and this is my younger brother and sister." The little Japs have surrendered. They have no enemies and are not afraid to reveal their identities. Besides, it is too far away from home and no one will know them.
"Are you from the inner city?"
Peng Ziqing looked at Chen Miao in surprise: "How do you know, my benefactor?"
"From the sound of your accents, you should know kung fu, right? Did your family run a martial arts school before?"
Peng Ziqing looked at Chen Miao warily, but immediately realized that his face showed excitement.
"Benefactor, do you know my family? How are they doing now?" They were abducted here and escaped several times at first, but they had guns and were afraid that their younger siblings would be in danger.
After knowing that the little devil surrendered, I even thought about running away. But it was too strict here and I couldn't get out at all. I cried once, fearing that I would be buried in there like the others before. I didn't expect that I would be rescued, and that I might even know my family.
people.
"I have met Peng Jingwen."
"My aunt."
"I saw her when I was a little Jaap before I surrendered. I don't know what will happen next. Do you want to go back?"
"Thank you, benefactor, let's go back." Peng Ziqing was very excited. She only had her aunt as a relative in the world. At that time, her aunt asked her to take her younger siblings out to understand what she meant. She hoped that she would not be in any danger.
Chen Miao nodded, "Be careful along the way. I'll take you to the train station."
A small girl grabbed Peng Ziqing and said, "Benefactor, when will you go to the inner city again?"
"I'm not sure either. If you are afraid, you can wait until I write there and get news about your aunt before you go back."
"Benefactor, I still want to go back now."
Chen Miao nodded, "Do you know Huang Youwei? I'll write him a letter and you can go back and find him directly. I should find your aunt for you."
Peng Ziqing nodded, "Thank you, my benefactor."
Chen Miao nodded. They had arranged to be literate and take the train, so there should be no problem. What they were worried about now was the more than 40 people going to the border.
"Let's go to the train station first." Find a chance to see if Xiao Nan is there? It's a bit embarrassing to use him as a delivery. He should have just come back, or is on his way back?
The Jia family drove a carriage to see them off. Chen Miao was worried along the way. Should he follow them there? It was too cold there and not suitable for confinement. Besides, it was inconvenient for them to be men.
After refusing to go to Jia's house and going directly to the train station, Chen Miao took them to a hotel for dinner and asked them to wait for him in the waiting hall of the train station.
After entering the space in a dark alley, Xiao Nan has not come back yet, which is difficult to handle. There are more than 40 children, and they are afraid that they will be trafficked again or captured to join the army.
