Return of the Swallow

The winter in the south is cold and humid, with layers of dark clouds pressing on the top of the head, frost knives and wind swords slashing on the bodies of the people in thin clothes, and the cold people shrink their necks.

"It's New Year's Eve, and those wealthy families gather together to eat and drink. What about us? I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter."

One person sighed with emotion, causing everyone around him to wipe away tears in distress.

Yesterday they still had some hope for their future. Even if they lived in a casual place, at least they could have a bite of hot food every day, so that they would not starve to death. Moreover, if they were full, they seemed to be more resistant to cold.

But now, the porridge shed is empty, and their hope of survival has been deprived.

"It's all Gao Dianshi! It's all those corrupt officials!"

"They don't treat us as human beings at all, so why would they care if we live or die?"

"I still have a mother at home, what will my mother do without Qian Dashan's porridge?"

...

The helpless people wiped away their tears, and the hot tears suddenly turned cold in the cold wind.

And those who are more tempered are already out of anger.

"Let's go to Gao Dian Shi to comment!"

"Yes, Gao Dianshi must release the good people who have done good deeds!"

"I didn't see him deal with the villains who robbed houses, but he arrested all the good people who did good deeds with a shy face? Could it be that he wants us to die?"

"Go, let's go together!"

The angry crowd was boiling, some people wanted to go to Gao Dianshi's mansion to ask for clarification, but some people were afraid of Gao Dianshi and did not dare to go.

Some people shrink back in fear, because they know that Gao Dianshi is powerful, but everyone else is going to Gaofu. If they don't go, what if others get the benefits but they don't get it?

But the entanglement of the crowd was only for a moment, because most of the people were out of anger and had no time to think. The crowd pushed and walked in the direction of the Gaodian historian.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling from the square leading to the main street. Some people who were nearby looked back, but saw several ox carts coming, and the carts were full of firewood, grain, cooking utensils and other items.

The person following the car shouted: "We are here to give out porridge.

Everyone, don't worry, don't be crowded, just wait a moment! "

This person's voice is not very high, but someone said to give out porridge, such a big news is still spread far away one by one.

Those who were closer stopped and looked at the ox carts with suspicion. They saw the servants in khaki gowns arriving at the porridge shed, lighting a fire with the original stove, and washing pots and rice. Brown rice, but the sound of grain being poured into the pot was so wonderful that everyone couldn't help swallowing.

There was a fire in everyone's stomach, and most of them had already made up their minds, and they must ask Gao Dianshi to explain. However, the boiling anger could not be vented at this time, because of hunger.

If they walk away, they don't know if there are people who give porridge this time, and they don't know when the next time they have a chance to eat.

"Let's go back, let's talk when we're full."

"Yeah, you have to live before you can think about anything else."

Everyone comforted and persuaded each other, and returned to the square again, while waiting, the porridge began.

But the anger in everyone's hearts will not be extinguished because they have food, they will only get angrier and blame themselves secretly. After all, they are all selfish and cannot fight for Qian Dashan.

The cauldron was steaming, and the aroma of the food gradually diffused. Everyone lined up with bowls to get the porridge.

But this time the porridge was much thinner than Qian Dashan's.

When the guys were helping to serve the porridge, one of the stewards explained: "Our son's family has limited conditions, not as rich as Qian Dashan's family. If everyone eats thick porridge, the food will last no matter how long It's about to finish eating. Don't take offense, big guy, it's serious to live on anyway, so forgive me, forgive me!"

The steward was in his early thirties and looked very honest, everyone believed what he said.

Some people said: "Your family is doing good deeds, so that we can survive this winter, where will we be offended?"

"Yes, your young master is a very good man, how dare you ask him the old man's name?"

The steward waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master, I ordered you not to talk about his name outside, and you guys just eat porridge."

The people didn't ask each other's name, but their gratitude was still there.

I just thought of the thick porridge and dry food served with pickles by Mr. Qian Dashan, and looking at this bowl of porridge, there is still a comparison between everyone.

They don't hate the gruel givers, but Gao Dianshi.

If it weren't for Gao Dianshi's unreasonable troubles, they would still have dry food to eat now, and they wouldn't be in the situation where they dare not even finish the porridge in one sitting, for fear that after eating this meal, no one will come to give porridge tomorrow. Nobody cares about them anymore.

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Yining looked at the ragged people in the square, feeling indescribably sad.

Putting down the curtain of the car, he turned to shopkeeper Zhong and said, "We have enough financial resources. We must help them get through this winter no matter what. Don't stop giving porridge. Just stick to it until the beginning of spring when everything recovers and they can find other ways to survive. "

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded and said: "Don't worry, even though there was a disaster this year, our food is used for this porridge factory, and we can still support it if we save a little. We can't cook thick porridge, but we can also use thin porridge. It’s enough to survive.”

"That's what it means." Qin Yining nodded. "I've always been relieved of Master Zhong's work."

Shopkeeper Zhong clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "My concubine is admirable. It's just that I'm also a little worried. If the big guy can eat enough and wear warmth, if the resentment towards Gao Dianshi disappears a little bit, what should I do? "

Qin Yining smiled, "I had the opportunity to eat dry food, but now Gao Dianshi can only eat porridge, who can't hate him?"

"But whether it's dry food or porridge, they didn't get them by themselves."

"This is human nature." Qin Yining said, "People's greed is instinct. This is not to belittle anyone. It's just that they have had the opportunity to get better, but were blocked by others. People who are angry will only remember this. But don’t think about it that much.”

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded thoughtfully, and gained a new understanding of Qin Yining's ability to analyze people's hearts.

In the next few days, the porridge factory has been serving porridge on time. Although it is only thin porridge, it is indeed life-saving food for many refugees.

Although everyone can't eat enough, they won't starve to death anyway, and they are all grateful to the new "great kindness".

It's just that everyone's hatred for Gao Dianshi, as Qin Yining expected, never diminished by half.

At the same time, the news that Gao Dianshi once arrested a woman who wanted to do good deeds and locked her up has spread widely.
