The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"It's been so many days, this batch should be my Shuanzi's turn."

Widow Liu has been guarding Xu Dongfu's house for five consecutive days, thinking that as long as she guards, she will always be able to secure a spot for her son.

But for some reason, Village Chief Xu, who used to be quite talkative in the past, has developed a stubborn temper in the past few days, and she refuses to let a place be given no matter how much she begs and behaves.

Seeing families in the village rushing into Xu Dongfu's house one after another, and coming out with a grin, Widow Liu's heart rose in her throat, and she couldn't eat or sleep these days. His already dark, thin and yellow face became more and more like a ghost.

On this day, Widow Liu really had no other choice. Seeing that there was no way out by guarding the door of Xu Dongfu's house, she ran to the east of the village in a heartbroken heart.

There is a temporary office at the east end of the village, and everyone in the village knows that if they want to be assigned the responsibility field and sign the contract, they have to go there with the village chief for a physical examination.

It's just that everyone in the village had Xu Dongfu's warning ahead of them, and without Xu Dongfu taking them with them, no one dared to go there to disturb the nobles' work and annoy the nobles.

Widow Liu passed by that place when she went to the outside of the village a few days ago. She peeked a few times from a distance, and saw that the courtyard was full of tall and strong men, and several of them were carrying knives, with angry faces and frightened faces. Widow Liu quickly closed her eyes and ran away, not daring to approach at all.

But today, Widow Liu really couldn't care less.

Xu Dongfu has already recruited more than [-] places in the village. Seeing that every household in the wasteland outside the village is working in full swing these days, eating delicious food three times a day.

Just her Shuanzi, who is in her teens, is as skinny as a cat.If I don't eat a few more good meals, it seems that I won't even be able to grow up.

Widow Liu was afraid of those men with knives, but no matter how afraid she was, it didn't matter that she could survive with a full stomach.

Thinking about it, Widow Liu rushed into the yard.

-

In the yard, Xu Dongfu was chatting with the steward in charge of registering village households, when he turned his head and saw Widow Liu rushing in with a grin.

Xu Dongfu's face turned dark all of a sudden, and he yelled angrily: "Who told you to come here? Get the hell out of here!"

"Uncle Dongfu! You can't take the lives of our orphans and widows!"

Widow Liu made up her mind to die today, so she was willing to let it go without being frightened by Xu Dongfu.

Seeing that Xu Dongfu was about to come out to chase away people, Widow Liu rushed into the main room first, grabbed the legs of the long office table and knelt down, jumping the few workers in the room.

They are all a group of elders who are used to rough work. If the bandit leader who breaks in right now is a bandit leader who robs his house and behaves mischievously, they really don't have to worry about it. They can beat you three or five times. .

But the one who ran in right now was a woman, a middle-aged woman who was so skinny that her bones could be seen, Wang Hai and the others who were in charge of the matter did not dare to move.

"Everyone, please, please, give us orphans and widows a way out."

Xu Dongfu's face was offended, and his face flushed with anger: "My mouth is full of nonsense, this is a place to recruit workers, who will kill your mother and child!"

Widow Liu didn't even look up, she grabbed the legs of the table and cried, "There's no food to eat, starving to death is death, why don't we kill us?"

"Who's life is easier now! Your family has no food, so it's none of your business."

"Everyone in the village has gone to work outside the village, and only my Shuanzi can't get three meals a day.

I am an old woman with a hard life. A man died early, and life can't go on. If he dies, he dies. It's all over.

Pity my Shuanzi, he lost his father a long time ago, and has a useless mother, who can't eat enough every day, and can't live without seeing it.God!He's only in his teens..."

......

Wang Hai and the others only felt that their heads were buzzing, thinking that something terrible had happened, and it took a long time to understand that they were here to answer the call.

It's just to recruit a farmer, so it's going to be life-or-death.

Fortunately, although their brothers are the person in charge of the recruiting site this time, Qi Ye has ordered before that the recruitment of farmers in Xiahetang Village is different from other places. The main person in charge of the personnel in the village is still the village head Xu Dongfu, the number of people who come to answer the call every day is also set by the village head.

Naturally, it is Xiahetang Village's housework to decide whether this woman is going to die or not, and they can't take care of it, just watch the excitement.

-

For no reason, he got the good job of recruiting farmers this time, and Xu Dongfu can be regarded as proud of himself in the village and outside the village these days.

Not only the people in the village respected him, but Young Master Qi's subordinates also gave him face. Even the village head of Wangjia Village, who came to the village yesterday to ask him for help, always smiled at him.

It was a good day with a lot of face, but there happened to be a blind man who was looking for trouble for himself every day.Before, he only stopped himself in the village, but now the embarrassment is thrown to outsiders.

Where is my carrying pole!

Where is my carrying pole!

Xu Dongfu walked around the house in anger, only to realize that this is not his own yard.Looking at Widow Liu who was still crying on the ground, she was even more angry.

Xu Shi was too angry, but Xu Dongfu calmed down. There are so many people from Master Qi here, no matter how miserable Widow Liu is, she is also from Xiahetang Village.

Thinking about it, Xu Dongfu took a breath and said:

"Mother Shuanzi, there are so many families in the village, why do I give places to other families but not to yours, do you have no points in your heart?

Your Shuanzi is only thirteen this year, he is as thin as a hemp stalk, and he can fall down when the wind blows, how do you let him go to work?

Do you want him to go to work, or want his life! "

"My Shuanzi was born in good condition. Before Sledgehammer left, Shuanzi had always been tall and strong. If it wasn't for the lack of food at home, how could he be so thin.

Uncle Dongfu, my Shuanzi is hungry. If you give him something to eat, he will be strong enough to work in the fields after a few days. "

"No, if something really happens, who will be responsible. If your family wants to sign the responsible land, we must first take care of Shuan Zi's body." Xu Dongfu was unmoved.

"It's easy for you to say, there is no food, what can I do to support my body." Widow Liu cried uncontrollably.

It's like the chicken and the egg or the chicken, there's no answer.Xu Dongfu naturally did not respond to Widow Liu's words.

Widow Liu naturally knew that no one would give food in vain to support his Shuanzi, but this was the only way. Apart from being a farm laborer, there was no other way to survive.

otherwise...

"Otherwise, my Shuanzi and I will do the land reclamation work together. The two of us need one person's rations?"

Widow Liu wiped away her tears and snot, and begged, "Shuanzi is in poor health, but I am in good health. I used to clean up the fields at home by myself."
