More and more people from Dahuai Village rushed out.
Anyone who comes can receive food.
Su An and Su Wen and Su Wu looked at the people arriving and felt more deeply than everyone present.
They still remember many of the faces, even after more than ten years, many of them have become older.
"You are not official officials, so why do you come to Dahuai Village to stock grain? Are you good people from the town or county?" Some villagers boldly chatted with them.
The grain on the carriage was almost gone. Many people who had received the grain came back and forth. They gathered around and bowed to them in gratitude.
Su An stopped them, took his two younger brothers and Tianbao, and bowed in the direction of Dahuai Village.
After he straightened up, he looked at the surprised villagers around him, "My surname is Su, my grandfather is Su Xiang, and my grandmother is Su Lan. I lived in the furthest family in that direction of the village. The whole family was exiled sixteen years ago. , I wonder if any of your uncles and aunts still have any impressions?"
Su Wen took a step forward, "Back then, everyone in the village sent food to my family here. Today, my Su family is here to repay the favor."
Su Wu, "Thank you for your friendship back then! The younger generations of the Su family will never forget it!"
The expressions of the villagers in Dahuai Village ranged from surprise to confusion and confusion, with tears streaming down their cheeks.
It turned out to be a child of the Su family who came back to repay the favor.
They actually didn't do much at that time, they just extended their friendship and didn't give much. They just got a handful of dried vegetables from home or a pot of pancakes.
There was so little they could do to help, and they didn't take it to heart at all. They only occasionally mentioned the Su family when chatting later, and each time they just sighed.
"During this period, our brothers and sisters are staying at home in Liujia Village and Hejia Village. If people in the village have any other difficulties and need help, they can come to us at any time. If you survive this period, the imperial court will come to rescue you soon. Don't be afraid, everything will be fine, the new emperor is a wise king, please believe in him."
After chatting with the villagers for a few more words, Su An, as the eldest brother, took his younger siblings to the end of the village.
Their former home was there, and since they came back, they always wanted to take a look.
The group walked in front, with villagers still following far behind.
The end of the village was equally in disarray.
When we reached the last few houses, we could no longer see the complete courtyards, and most of the walls were washed away.
The Su family's small courtyard can no longer be seen, only a section of the wall is left faintly exposed above the water.
Houses that are uninhabited are not popular and have not been taken care of for a long time. They may have become ruins before the flood.
The three brothers from the Su family stood in front of the wall for a long time, then turned around, asked the villagers for directions, and went to Doctor Shi's house.
"Can you recognize it? Are it really the boys from the Su family who are back?" The villagers who were following far behind were reluctant to leave. After watching the Su family and their entourage enter the yard of Dr. Shi's house, they couldn't help but start to whisper. talk.
"I can't recognize them...the children were only four or five years old when they left, and their baby was just one month old. Now that they are all grown up, they look not like farmers at all, but more like they come from a wealthy family."
"That's right, Yao Bao! That little girl is so good-looking! At that time, the village women were not good at talking, and those who talked quickly even called Yao Bao a disaster star."
What a disaster!
This time I saw the junior of the Su family again. He was well-dressed, good-looking, and had a good temperament. He could take out so much rice and noodles at once to feed Dahuai Village. He looked like he was definitely not short of money.
After the Su family was exiled, their life was better than in Dahuai Village!
What disaster star can bring such prosperity to the family?
The villagers had mixed feelings, and they couldn't tell what they were feeling.
Many people are ashamed.
There are many people who said those words behind my back. Today, because of the little benefits they gave me, they came back to repay the kindness.
It really put shame on their faces.
…
Doctor Shi's house is at the other end of Dahuai Village, near the entrance of the village.
The yard wall was washed away and later re-fenced.
As soon as Tianbao and the others entered the yard, they heard moans coming from the house.
There was also a woman sobbing softly, "What's going on now? Why are you going all the way when the people come all the way to ask for you? The doctor's fee was not paid, and the person was cured, but he was left on the road and couldn't get up! What do you mean? What have you been doing all these years? Can a good reputation be used as food? If you collapse like this, how will our family live? Ah? No food, no money! I can go with you!"
"What are you talking about? I am a doctor myself. I can cure myself..." The man's voice was weak, and there was a wheezing sound in his throat when he spoke. "The medicinal materials I concocted at home are enough, so I don't need to spend more money."
"Can you eat enough if you take medicine? Can you live without food? Fortunately, some kind people came to the village to deliver food," the woman sniffed, with a strong nasal voice, "I received a bag, and I can survive for ten days by saving food. Half a month. I'll sort out your useless medicinal materials later, and take them to the town to exchange for some money. Everyone in the house is full of talk, and I can't even survive."
The man said no more, and the dull atmosphere in the room spread out.
Su An walked to the door of the hall with a smile on her face, stuck her head in and called out, "Doctor Shi, I am Su An, the boy from the Su family. I am bringing my younger siblings here to visit you."
Immediately, a woman walked out quickly, her eyes widened, "You are the kind people who were putting grain at the entrance of the village just now! Boys from the Su family? This..."
The woman received the food in front of her, thanked him, and rushed home. She did not hear what was said after that, so she missed the news.
She turned back to the people in the room and said, "My dear, who is the Su family?"
Doctor Shi couldn't get up and was lying in the inner room. He was very confused after hearing this.
When I heard about the Su family, a scene that was forgotten deep in my memory flashed through my mind, "But the Su family at the end of the village? Which family left more than ten years ago?"
There weren't many people named Su around, but that was the one that stuck in his memory.
An old man from the Su family once broke his leg. He came to the house overnight to help with diagnosis and treatment. Seeing that the family was in trouble, he waived their medical fees.
It was very windy and snowy that night, and he was scolded by his mother-in-law when he came back. He remembers it so clearly because she boiled water for him to soak his feet.
"Yes, that's the family at the end of the village. They were exiled more than ten years ago. Later, the emperor granted amnesty and our family was restored to good status." Su An stood at the door and did not rush into the house. She specifically mentioned the restoration of good status to avoid worrying about the doctor's wife. There are lumps.
They remember every kindness the Su family received.
The woman from the Shi family was over fifty years old, and her face looked kind-hearted. Her bad words were just because she felt sorry for her husband.
Hearing the meaning of Su An's words, she was a little embarrassed because she had just received food from others.
"Please come in quickly and sit down. I'll bring you a pot of tea!"
After Tianbao stepped into the room, he also chatted with Doctor Shi, frowning slightly, "Doctor Shi has hurt his heart and lungs."
The woman was not here, so she said this to the doctor who was lying down.
Doctor Shi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Girl, please keep your voice down, don't let my mother-in-law hear it!"
