Chapter XXXVII, Resettlement of Refugees

Suddenly, I saw a few big men walking out of it, one by one, with angry eyebrows, scolding and scolding, "You stinky people called Hanako, how many times have I told you, there is no need for idlers here, we are not short of manpower, hurry up, stay where it is cool, don't block at the door of the company." As he spoke, he picked up the luggage on the ground and threw it away.

Some of the refugees at the door moved, and some knelt on the place and kowtowed and said good words, "Okay, okay, we haven't eaten for a few days, let's stutter." Those big men not only ignored them, but also impatiently hit people.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Slow, why are you beating people?" Don't you see so many old people and children? Give me Wei Xiaobao a face, and have something to say. ”

A big man who took the lead walked over and hugged Wei Xiaobao with a fist, "It turned out to be the treasure of Lichun Courtyard, disrespectful and disrespectful, what kind of wind blew you here, go in and sit down, it's good to have a cup of tea." ”

Many people in Yangzhou know Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao is not surprised, glanced at these people, and secretly scolded in his heart, "A group of dogs and powerful guys, they beat and scold others, but they are polite to me, not because Lao Tzu is the master of Lichun Courtyard!" ”

Wei Xiaobao asked, "What's going on?" Who are these people? ”

Dahan politely replied, "Don't hide it from Bao Ye, here's the thing, these are refugees from the Northeast, the market is not good over there, many factories are forced to close, even the boss has gone out to hide debts, the workers have no work to do, so they want to come to our Jiangnan to beg for a living, but now this tobacco business is really not easy to do, which boss dares to raise so many idlers." ”

Wei Xiaobao thought for a while, and a glimmer of light faintly flashed in his mind, "So that's the case, then hand them over to me, you should give me a face, and when will I go to Lichun Courtyard to listen to the book and find a girl, I have a treat, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

When Dahan heard this, he quickly nodded and smiled, "Then dare to be kind, what kind of person is Bao Ye, who dares not to give Bao Ye face on the ground in Yangzhou, you all go back, Bao Ye will treat Lichun Courtyard in the future, don't thank Bao Ye." Those big men all gathered around, nodded at Wei Xiaobao one by one, and said good things in a row. Wei Xiaobao didn't bother to deal with them, so he just reluctantly perfunctory.

After these big men left, Wei Xiaobao approached the refugees, shook his head at the miserable appearance of these people, and sighed uncontrollably.

"Whoever is taking the lead, tell me about the situation, maybe I can help you." When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and they surrounded Wei Xiaobao in the middle.

There was a very burly man who hugged his fists at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Don't hide this little master, we are from the northeast, there is no way to live there, I really can't get mixed up, I want to come here to find some work, who knows that it is the same here, the dry food brought is all eaten, and everyone has not eaten for two days." ”

Wei Xiaobao's heart was sour, and he thought, "I have also been poor and know what it is like to live a hard life." Wei Xiaobao said, "Don't say anything, take your wife and children with me, don't worry, I'm Wei Xiaobao, Yangzhou knows me, I'm not a bad person, fill my stomach first." It's okay for adults to suffer a little, but don't starve the old people and children. When everyone heard this, they knelt on the ground on the spot, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly helped them up one by one, and persuaded in his mouth, "Who hasn't fallen into trouble, as the saying goes, rely on relatives at home and rely on friends when going out." You're welcome, pack up and come with me. ”

Wei Xiaobao found Niu Er, asked Niu Er to find a secluded place for everyone, rented a few large yards, and asked the guys to quickly boil water and wash their bodies, afraid that it would be bad for the child to get an infectious disease after a long time, so he hurriedly asked people to buy wine and vegetables, so that everyone could fill their stomachs. Settle down first and then talk about anything else, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution.

Everyone kowtowed and was grateful, they all knew that they had met nobles when they went out, and there were not a few who cried and cried, in fact, Wei Xiaobao thought very simply, he could help if he could, and there was no way if he couldn't help.

When eating, Wei Xiaobao was stunned by everyone's eating appearance, and a mad dog pounced on the word in his mind, you can imagine how crazy the scene is, these people haven't eaten for two days, as soon as the good wine and food are on the table, their eyes have all changed color, and they are even about to burst out of fire, where can men, women, and children still care about whether they look good or not, roll up their sleeves and grab it and eat, gobble it up one by one, it is simply a storm, as soon as the dishes are on the table, they are immediately wiped out. It's as if Sun Monkey took it away at once when he made a big fuss about the peach feast, some of them ate one in one hand, and they were still staring at the rest of the dishes with their eyes, and some even picked them up and hid to the side.

At first, I thought it was funny, but with a smile and a smile, Wei Xiaobao's eyes gradually moistened, and he secretly turned his back and told Niu Er seriously, "Take good care of it, don't be lazy." ”

For Niu Er, Wei Xiaobao's words are holy decrees, Niu Er turned out to be just a little turtle in Lichun Courtyard, without Wei Xiaobao, he would have to stay in Lichun Courtyard and run errands, but now, appreciated and promoted by Wei Xiaobao, is there anyone who dares to call Niu Er this name except Wei Xiaobao, because he is now the shopkeeper of Si Shaoqian Village, which one dares to look down.

When he returned to Lichun Courtyard in the evening, Wei Xiaobao fell asleep with his head upside down, settled so many refugees, and accompanied him to busy before and after, and drank a lot of wine to make Wei Xiaobao tired, and when he opened his eyes the next day, he saw Chunfang and Chunmei Chuchu standing pitifully in front of his bed, his little face was flushed, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you two, who bullied you, tell me, I castrated him." Your grandfather's, the women around me dare to provoke, I don't want to live anymore. ”

Wei Chunhua smiled and walked over, glared at Wei Xiaobao and said, "You little rabbit cub, don't scold, even your mother will be scolded again, it's not because of you, I told them, and that's it, you can tell them yourself." After speaking, Wei Chunhua flashed out the door.

Wei Xiaobao was stunned, he didn't expect things to be so tricky, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he couldn't marry them himself. Chunfang choked up and wiped her tears, and said faintly, "Xiaobao, do you really hate us so much, why do you want to drive us away?" ”

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said, "Don't ...... Don't cry, I can't see a woman cry the most, especially a beautiful woman like you. ”

"My mother told you about it. You have been with me for so long, and you know that I didn't mean to drive you, but I just don't want to delay your lifelong happiness, so find a good family as soon as possible while you are young and beautiful. After speaking, Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to look at them again.

Chunmei said in a low voice, "Xiaobao, we won't go anywhere, unless you don't want us anymore, we think you are good, even if you have been following you as slaves and maids, our sisters have no complaints." ”

Since the seventh sister handed over the sisters to Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao took good care of them and ransomed them again, plus Wei Xiaobao is smart, likable, eloquent, versatile, and good to people...... In short, the longer they follow Wei Xiaobao, the deeper Wei Xiaobao's shadow in their hearts, and neither of them wants to leave Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao sighed and said, "Girls always have to marry when they grow up, I have never treated you as a person, and I have always treated you as my good sister and beautiful sister." I'm too young to make any promises to you. ”

Chunfang hurriedly shook her head and said, "As long as you don't dislike us, it's fine." ”

When it came to this, Wei Xiaobao really had no choice, so he had to nod his head, "Okay, let's do this for the time being, and then plan to settle down later, if you think about it, you can leave at any time, and I will definitely invite the best family sending team for you at that time, so that you can pass through the door." ”

Niu Er suddenly ran over in a hurry, saluted first, and then said, "Master Bao, there is someone outside the door who asks to see you, it is the group of refugees we took in yesterday, and the one who took the lead came to see you." Wei Xiaobao waved his hand, "Are you all settled?" It's coming so soon, go and call people in. ”
