Chapter 80 The real suffering is when the suffering is added to the suffering
"You are right. We will buy some more food in the next town. The specific conditions of the road behind are unknown, so we should be prepared."
Father Xia was calculating in his mind how much food he had consumed along the way and how long he could help the villagers with his ability.
He is not a saint who cares about his own life or death in order to help others. Every penny in his family is earned through hard work and hard work.
He can't use his family's hard-earned money to help the villagers generously. It's not worth it to upset the hearts of his family.
Thinking of this, he could not wait for a moment, and said to Xia Laodao: "You watch the team, I will go to the front to discuss something with the village chief."
"Okay, dad, go ahead, I'm here." Xia Qingshan agreed casually.
He didn't know what Father Xia was discussing with the village chief, but he had been accustomed to obeying his father's words since he was a child.
Father Xia caught up with the village chief at the front of the team.
When the village chief saw him catching up, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked first, "Dun Hou, why did you catch up and have something to do with me?"
"Village Chief, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"If you have anything to do, just tell me directly and stay out of sight with me."
Father Xia said something in his mind, "Village Chief, now that we have crossed the river, the geographical environment here is very good. In addition, everything is flourishing in early summer, and wild vegetables are everywhere. I am thinking about our food next time."
We must eat as sparingly as possible. Otherwise, even if we find a place to settle down, it will still take several months before the harvest season begins."
The village chief was silent for a moment, and then he understood what Father Xia meant.
He nodded solemnly: "Dunhou, I understand what you mean. In life, you really can't rely on others for anything. It's a good thing to have someone to help you when you encounter difficulties, but you can't rely entirely on others to help. You have to work hard yourself.
"
"Village chief, me." Father Xia looked unhappy.
The village chief raised his hand and interrupted him, "I don't mean to blame you. I understand your difficulty. Let's leave the next thing to me. Just tell me your plan so that I can take the next step."
Make arrangements."
After listening to the village chief's words, Father Xia felt a little better. He did not harden his heart and ignore the villagers. Compared with everyone else's family background, their family was indeed better off than theirs, but he did not want to raise an enemy.
Therefore, the decision must be made. "There are 120 households in our village. Even if each family has one kilogram of grain a day, it still requires 120 kilograms of grain. In the long run, it will be difficult for our family to provide food."
"I came out of the village and am a clansman like everyone else. I can't ignore my clan ties. From now on, I will provide food for everyone every day, but it will be reduced from one catty per family a day to half a catty. If everyone takes the time to dig some wild vegetables and eat them together,
, If the family is not full, at least they will not starve to death like other villagers."
"Of course, after we settle down in the land, I will no longer provide food. Then the villagers will have to rely on themselves to survive."
Father Xia was also reminding the village chief that if he, Xia Dunhou, hadn't been taking care of his clan members along the way, many people might have died along the way.
The village chief sighed, "We are all grateful for your care along the way. Without the supplies you brought from home to support us, the whole village, old and young, would not have been able to get here safely. We all know your dedication and your kindness."
I forgot. You don’t need to come forward for the next thing, I will communicate with everyone."
He was overthinking just now. In fact, in reality, Xia Dunhou owed nothing to the villagers. He could use his own wealth to help everyone. He had done his best to benevolent and could not ask for too much.
Seeing that the village chief's attitude was acceptable, Father Xia nodded and slowed down a bit. When his carriage arrived, he jumped on the carriage and entered the carriage.
"Why do you think of riding in the car with us today?"
Mrs. Chen was sitting in the carriage with her several young grandchildren and great-granddaughter. When she saw her husband getting into the carriage, she was suspicious. Why did her husband, who rarely rides in carriages, get in?
"I'm tired from walking, I'll take a rest."
Father Xia took his only great-granddaughter Tian Tian into his arms, leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate.
When Mrs. Chen saw her little granddaughter sitting in his arms and not crying or fussing, she followed her grandfather and grandson.
When the team rested in the evening of that day, the village chief asked everyone to find a place to camp half an hour early, and sent twice as many people as usual to dig wild vegetables.
During dinner, everyone noticed that the usual wild vegetable porridge and pancakes had more grain and less wild vegetables, but this time it was just the opposite, with more wild vegetables and less grain.
Looking at the green wild vegetable porridge in the pot, many people's faces turned green.
Some villagers couldn't help but ask: "Village Chief, is there not enough food in the village?"
The other villagers sat aside with bowls in their hands, listening to what the village chief had to say.
The village chief took a sip of wild vegetable porridge, endured the bitterness in his mouth, and nodded expressionlessly: "Well, there's not much food."
The village chief's wife already knew about Father Xia's decision during the day. At this moment, she helped her man and said: "The food didn't fall from the sky. It was actually brought out by Dunhou's family. How come you don't know how much you have eaten?"
Points? You noticed that there was a little less in the pot today?"
The villagers sitting next to the big pot twitched their mouths slightly. There was not a little less food in the pot, but a lot of it.
Some villagers were so hungry that they almost burst into tears after taking a sip of wild vegetable porridge. The bitterness filled their mouths!
It’s so bitter!
I didn’t think it was a bit difficult to adapt to the food supply from Dunhou’s family during this period of time when I was escaping from the famine and returning to the days of eating wild vegetable porridge!
"Don't show such a bitter face. No one owes anyone anything. Dunhou is still willing to supply part of the food to the village, so you can just enjoy it secretly. Without his supply, you can only do it every day.
Just chew the grass!"
Her mouth went dry as she spoke, and the village chief's wife picked up the bowl in her hand and took a sip.
Hang it up!
My brows are almost knotted!
But when she thought about educating others at this time, she wanted to tie her eyebrows, phew!
Stretch out forcefully!
As a pillow person, the village chief certainly knew the pain in his wife's heart. He tried hard to hold back his smile, lowered his head and buried it in the bowl.
If it is painful for a while, it will be over if you grit your teeth. If you suffer slowly, the pain will become worse.
The village chief gritted his teeth and poured all the porridge in the bowl into his stomach.
There was a bitter taste in his throat now, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Someone noticed the village chief's wrinkled face and deliberately asked: "Village Chief, how does it taste?"
The village chief wanted to get up and fetch a bowl of water to rinse his mouth, but when the villagers asked him, he immediately gave up the idea.
He simply held back two words, "Not bad!"
"The village chief has risen up and is preparing to lead everyone to live a life of remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet."
"I'll try it too."
The speaker took a big mouthful of wild vegetable porridge, and his eyes and nose were wrinkled.
"Ha ha."
Others are amused!
The village chief grinned unconsciously.
"Okay." The village chief's wife patted him, "You're so grinning, didn't you know there were green vegetable leaves stuck in your front teeth? Go rinse your mouth quickly!"
The village chief's smile faltered: "."
This stinky bitch didn't say anything long ago, but now she has calmed down, and now she is trying to shame him in front of the villagers.
