92, Chapter 92

The little boy even retracted his head. There was a faint blush on his unclean face, indicating that he was shy. But after a while, he stuck his head out again, and Yang Haiyan still looked at him and smiled at him, and he also smiled shyly.

Yang Haiyan said: "Come here and give you some snacks."

Although the little boy was a little greedy, he did not go directly over. Instead, he hid at the door for a while. He was also young and fearless, and finally climbed out of the threshold staggeringly.

The little boy was young, probably three or four years old, with a tiger-like head and a strong head. ‌The eyes are dark and extremely bright. His hair is not black, but rather somewhere between brown and brown. Children are probably like this, and their hair may not turn black until they are a little older.

He came to Yang Hai and looked at him blankly, drooling at the same time.

Yang Haiyan took out the handkerchief and wiped his saliva. She found that his hands were a little dirty, so she said gently: "Go and wash your hands, and I'll give you some biscuits." After saying that, she broke the biscuits into pieces and put them away. The small white piece went into his mouth, "Does it taste good? Go wash your hands first."

The little boy may have never eaten something so delicious. His eyes lit up and he said in a childish voice, "It's delicious." Then he walked to wash his hands with his short legs.

There are basically water tanks in farmyards, and children can wash their hands by themselves.

The little boy washed his hands and immediately ran to Yang Haiyan. Because of his young age, his steps were unsteady when running, and Yang Haiyan was worried that he would fall several times. But in fact, her worries were unnecessary, and the little boy arrived safely.

Because he was young, he didn't wash his hands clean. Yang Haiyan wiped his hands clean with the handkerchief that wiped his mouth. She is not a particularly patient person, but she is patient with people. If it is a seven or eight-year-old tiger child, she may not be patient, but a three- or four-year-old child is at the cutest age in life, and is particularly cute. So she is particularly patient with children at this time.

Yang Haiyan put the bag in front of him: "You can take whatever you want to eat."

The little boy looked at the cookies, then at the twists, and finally picked up the cookie he had just eaten because he knew the cookies were delicious. He took a small bite, and as soon as the crunchy sound came out, he laughed, and then continued to eat in small bites, like a little squirrel eating pine nuts, sizzling.

The village chief's daughter-in-law came back with a basket of vegetables and was shocked to see her son eating at the noble man's side. "What are you doing, you little tiger? Don't disturb the noble man."

The child hugged his mother and gave her a smile.

Yang Haiyan laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm bored, the child is very cute, let him stay with me for a while."

The village chief's daughter-in-law, a noble person, said this, and it was hard to say anything. Her father-in-law selected 50 households for a thousand-cent meal, and each family received 20 cents. One meal would earn 20 cents, and three meals would earn 60 cents. So everyone cherishes it because they are afraid that if one meal is not ready, the next two meals will be gone. The village chief's daughter-in-law wanted to do more for her family, but she also knew that her father-in-law, as the village chief, could not be so partial, so she could only choose fifty households.

While Yang Haiyan was feeding the little boy, she asked: "Sister-in-law, how long does it take from you to the county seat?"

The village chief's daughter-in-law said: "I have never been to the county seat, only to the town. If I go to the town on weekdays, it would take half an hour to walk." That is, an hour.

Yang Haiyan heard this and said to Meng Ping: "Meng Ping, tell Kun Shi to go to the town to buy fifty kilograms of meat, and add a piece of meat to everyone's cabbage in the evening." Everyone has been gone for three days, except Bones were added to the porridge the night before, but there was no more oil and water after that. I was already tired from traveling every day. If there was no oil and water, even if I ate well every day, my body wouldn't be able to hold on. Yang Haiyan arranged for there to be eggs in breakfast tomorrow, and the intention was to supplement it for everyone, but if they could also eat a piece of meat at night, everyone would definitely be happier. More pieces of meat cost more money, and presumably no one will care.

Meng Ping said: "Yes."

Meng Ping left the village chief's house and met Kunshi at the entrance of the village: "Captain, my wife said to go to the town to buy fifty kilograms of meat, and add a piece of meat to everyone's dishes tonight."

Hearing that there would be meat to eat in the evening, not only Kunshi felt his mouth go dry, but also the remaining soldiers and women swallowed their saliva. ‌Speaking of the past, when we were even poorer, it was normal not to see meat all year round. But after certain conditions were met, I was really not used to not having meat for three days.

Regardless of whether they are private guards or servants, everyone in the Qin family has more or less a meal of meat every day, so they haven't eaten meat for three days. Looking back, everyone seems to be really not used to it.

For fifty families, each family gets twenty cents of food, which is pretty quick. After cooking, everyone is warm in the pot.

Kunshi bought the meat and took it directly to the village chief's house. Yang Haiyan asked the village chief's daughter-in-law to cut each kilogram of meat into twenty pieces. Even though it was so much, it was like twenty pieces in ancient times. It weighed sixteen taels, which is equivalent to today's half a catty. The meat of half a catty was cut into twenty pieces, and each piece was really not small.

After the meat is cut into pieces, the village chief’s daughter-in-law is asked to make braised pork. ‌After the braised pork was cooked, the village chief's daughter-in-law was drooling because of the fragrant soup. Even Yang Haiyan outside the yard couldn't help but praise herself. She felt that she was so clever when buying meat.

"Yan Yan." Qin Fang led the team to stop at a certain distance from the village. If they got too close, they would disturb the villagers. Then, he came to find Yang Haiyan. Seeing his wife playing with a little boy in the yard, he watched for a long time. Qin Fang felt that his wife must want to have a child. Seeing her smile so gently and sweetly to the little boy, he couldn't help but be touched. After they settled down in Yunxiang County, he would definitely work harder to let her give birth to a child for him.

Yang Haiyan raised her head when she heard Qin Fang's voice. Seeing Qin Fang standing at the door of the yard looking at her, she couldn't help but walk towards him: "Are you tired?" Although he was just the team leader, he also had pressure. If these people were not settled in one day, Qin Fang's pressure would not be reduced. Besides, they had only walked one-fifth of the way, and accidents could happen at any time.

Qin Fang grabbed her hand and held it in his palm. Her hand was smooth and white, different from his black and rough hand. It looked very obvious. The strong contrast was once his deep inferiority. But her persistence and companionship were also the deepest motivation in his heart.

Qin Fang shook his head: "Not tired. Kun Shi told me about today's matter. I think it's very good. I can do it in the future." It's much easier than asking the servants to cook by herself.

Yang Haiyan nodded: "I thought so at first, but there was a lot of food stored at home, so I ate it first. After all, so much food is a burden, and it's really tiring to carry it over."

When it was time for dinner, the village chief organized each family to carry the sweet potato rice and fried cabbage to the resting place of the team. There were a total of fifty households, and then more than a thousand people lined up to receive their dinner.

Not to mention, with twenty people from each household receiving it, the speed was still quite fast.

A barbarian said, "Let's eat meat today. Such delicious meat. I can't bear to eat it." He licked it with his tongue. The braised pork was not only fragrant, but also a little sweet, and it was also with soup. It seeped into the cabbage and rice, and it was delicious to make a mixed pot rice.

"There is really meat, so good."

"Meat, it's meat."

"..."

Looking at the people who talked about meat with surprised eyes and voices, Yang Haiyan also felt very happy. It was probably the joy of being recognized by others.

Compared with everyone who only had a piece of meat, the Qin family obviously had a plate of meat. Although everyone envied, they also understood. After all, they only had three cents for a portion, and they bought it with their own money.

After dinner, like the previous two days, everyone began to rest.

Yang Haiyan went to find Qin Fang: "Husband, I have agreed with the daughter-in-law of the village chief today. I will go to her house to borrow a room and spend the night there." The main purpose is to take a bath, and someone will prepare breakfast tomorrow.

Qin Fang heard: "Let Aunt Lian and Aunt Fan accompany you."

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Yes, that's what I planned."

Not only did Yang Haiyan go to the village to finish her bath, but even Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu followed Yang Haiyan. They brought their children and wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.

Maybe this village has a three-meal relationship with them, so some villagers came to play by the brigade after dinner.

Yang Haiyan took a good bath at the village chief's house. The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, she and the village chief's daughter-in-law led the villagers to deliver food to the brigade. There were still fifty households, and the people who received the food lined up in front of each household, but there were more people today than yesterday.

After yesterday's braised pork, everyone ate boiled eggs today, and they were so happy that they wanted to cry.

Yang Haiyan said at the same time: "Listen to me, the villagers have prepared a lot of boiled eggs. If you want to buy a few boiled eggs privately, you can ask them to buy them. Boiled eggs are 10 cents each."

Although boiled eggs cannot be kept for a long time, they will go bad. But if you buy them today, they will definitely not go bad tomorrow. As for whether to keep them overnight or not, no one cares when you are away from home.

Sure enough, everyone heard this, and after a while, the extra boiled eggs of the villagers were looted, and the villagers with good business did not want to leave the team. On weekdays, they took eggs to the town to set up stalls, and they sold eggs for 10 cents each. If they brought a lot of eggs, they would still have some left. But today, they just regretted that there were not enough eggs.

After breakfast, everyone was ready to go on the road. Lunch was two steamed buns, and some had boiled eggs.

Two days passed one after another. Early in the morning, while everyone was still having breakfast, Niu Da came to find Yang Haiyan: "Madam, I have some ideas. I don't know if I should tell you."
