Tao Qiqi knows that every big family has its own village. The south has not been affected by the disaster. The summer harvest started in May, and now it is only a month old. Even if they pay the grain tax, they still have food.
There can be quite a few. If they raise some donations and they spend money to buy some, the situation here in Nanyang City should be able to cope with it for a while.
Nangong Ye answered slowly: "It was raised from donations and Mr. Yang and I spent money to buy it. It shouldn't be a big problem if it lasts for ten days and a half."
"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. At least the refugees here in Nanyang City have won these ten days and a half. There will definitely be other ways by then. Maybe there will be some pressure from the top, and they will give up.
Not even a little grain."
Tao Qiqi finished her words, and Nangong Yi replied: "No chance, don't even dream. All the grain taxes handed over this year have already been sent to the border overnight. Now not only the north, but also the grain warehouses all over the south are empty.
of."
After listening to Nangong Yi's words, Tao Qiqi was so speechless that she didn't know how to answer the question.
"The ones above are unreliable, so don't worry about it. What Qiqi said still makes sense. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Even if we rely on ourselves, we believe we can always find a way." Zhao Song on the side thought quite clearly.
At this time, Nangong Ye said slowly: "Okay, you can practice martial arts here during this period. Just leave the food and the victims to me. These things have nothing to do with you in the first place."
"I agree with Third Brother on this point. What we should do now is to make ourselves stronger. Only when we are strong can we have the ability to consider other issues." Fang Yu nodded in agreement.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did Mr. Tao call my third brother and third brother yesterday, and now you also call me third brother and third brother?"
Fang Yu replied: "This is very simple, because we are sworn sworn brothers. The mother of the other third brother is also my godmother now. So is it not normal to call me third brother?"
"Sworn sworn homage?!" Nangong Yi's original confusion turned into shock.
"Yes, the five of us are sworn brothers. Brother Songzi is our eldest brother, Brother Huzi is the second brother, your third brother happens to be third, brother Qiqi, fourth brother, and my fifth sister."
After listening to Fang Yu's words, Nangong Yi looked at Nangong Ye: "Third brother, is what Miss Fang said true?"
Nangong Ye nodded: "You call me third brother, do you think you can still lie?"
Nangong Yi got an affirmative answer from his third brother and looked unhappy.
"No, you can't abandon me, I have to join in." After saying that, Nangong Yi looked at everyone and waited for everyone to nod.
At this time Zhao Song asked: "How old are you?"
Nangong Yi replied: "I just celebrated my 14th birthday yesterday."
"Ah, it was your birthday yesterday! Then why didn't you say anything?" This time it was Tao Qiqi's turn to look shocked.
"It's just a birthday, what's there to say?" For Nangong Yi, it doesn't matter if he can't celebrate his birthday. Anyway, he has never celebrated it since the death of his mother-in-law.
Tao Qiqi replied: "Well, fortunately, what I ate last night was noodles, so I'll treat it as your birthday."
Nangong Yi said innocently and happily: "So, I had a good birthday yesterday."
"Didn't you say we were going to be sworn brothers? Why did it bring up the issue of birthdays again? Since your birthday was yesterday, it's just right that you should be ranked behind me. From now on, I will be the fifth sister, and you will be the sixth brother."
Fang Yu finished her words, and Nangong Yi looked at her unconvinced and asked: "What, you are older than me?"
Fang Yu replied: "Not much, not much, just one day older."
"Xiaoyu, did you celebrate your birthday two days ago?" Not only Tao Qiqi was surprised this time, Zhao Song, Zhao Hu, and even Chang Wu all looked at Fang Yu in surprise.
Fang Yu nodded.
"Then why didn't you say anything? We don't know the specific day of your birthday." Tao Qiqi said.
Fang Yu replied: "It's just a birthday. I haven't celebrated it since I was a child, so I never take it seriously. I just pass it when it's over. I know it'll be fine if I'm one year older."
After Jiang Su heard this, he said gently: "Silly boy, it was before, but now you have family members like us, so naturally you have to say something."
Tao Qiqi echoed: "Isn't it just that, since we are here to celebrate your birthday, it is natural to say so. In this way, tomorrow, tomorrow I will personally cook a table of delicious dishes for you, no, to celebrate your birthday for both of you.
"
When Nangong Yi heard this, he happily replied: "You can have this."
Fang Yu looked at Tao Qiqi and was filled with emotion: "Okay."
"Okay, that's the case, then there is no need to change our order. Since the sixth brother doesn't mind, we will have one more sixth brother in the future." Zhao Hu said with a sense of pride in his heart.
A King of Pingyang and a King of Qingping are now called their second brother. If they meet those who looked down on the two brothers in the future, they can definitely sneer in front of them.
"Don't tell me, this ranking is quite interesting. Third brother, I used to be third at home, but now I am still third, sixth, and sixth." Tao Qiqi couldn't help but sigh.
After saying this, everyone reacted, "It's true."
Then everyone's happy laughter came from the small courtyard.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Nangong Ye and Nangong Yi went out to work on food and refugees, and Tao Qiqi also went out.
When I came back, I had an extra gift for Fang Yu.
Fang Yu looked happy after receiving Qiqi's gift.
Fortunately, Chang Wu was not at home. Otherwise, I would have been heartbroken again by now.
In the evening, everyone celebrated the birthdays of Nangong Yi and Fang Yu together.
This is Fang Yu's first birthday, and it's also Nangong Yi's first birthday in ten years. Both of them once again gained family happiness and full happiness because of the family in the courtyard.
As soon as the birthday party was over, Nangong Ye began to go out early and come back late the next day, running around for food and refugees every day.
After Nangong Yi traveled for two days, he was arranged to practice martial arts at home.
And Tao Qiqi couldn't help much anyway, so she stayed at home and practiced martial arts.
Tao Qiqi had room to serve as an assistant. After practicing for half a month, she finally successfully learned the entire set of martial arts secrets. Now her skills can be considered a top master.
Martial arts, light skills, and internal skills are integrated into one body. Even without a pistol, she can protect herself with her own skills in this ancient time.
Tao Qiniang and the others also advanced from beginner level to intermediate level.
It's easy to learn at the beginning level, and there's nothing surprising if you can master it in half a month.
However, intermediate and advanced levels are more difficult, and it will take at least a month to complete a level.
Because Tao Qiqi had the help of spiritual energy, it took more than half a month.
But in recent days, Nangong Ye has also begun to disappear all day long.
Tao Qiqi knew that the food she had obtained before was about to run out, and she thought it was time to take action herself.
