Chapter 401: Father and Son Reunited
Xie Qian felt his chest was a little blocked, and he was so angry that he was smoking...
He was a prime minister and came to rescue the disasters with orders, but what did this man think of himself?
Treat it as a beggar on the street? And let your own people wait to get food?
snort……
But... Xie Qian was really hungry and felt very uncomfortable when he touched his shriveled belly.
Well, food is the most important thing for people, fill your stomach first and then make plans.
So the group went in the direction the man pointed.
Sure enough, there were already long queues here, but fortunately, the people were in great order. After a moment, it was Xie Qian's turn.
Well……
Xie Qian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
But the person who distributed the food seemed very familiar!
The man directly took a rice ball, stuffed it with a packet of lotus leaves to Xie Qian, and did not forget to instruct: "After eating, remember to throw the lotus leaves into the bucket, wash it later, and use it."
Xie Qian didn't even say a word, and his old face turned red. Fortunately, his face was covered with dirt, so he couldn't tell anything.
The hot rice ball is not big, so it is impossible to eat enough, so I can only fill my stomach. There is also an unknown leaf on it, and this... is a meal.
Xie Qian bit some rice balls, which were a bit salty.
He didn't know that it was very difficult to transport rice here. On the contrary, although the price of salt is expensive, the cost of transportation is much less. This rice is life-saving food. There are more and more disaster victims here, and if you don't have time to supply it, someone will go hungry.
But salt is a good thing. For those who work, if they lack salt, they will lose their energy, so add more salt and less rice.
I ate the rice ball in two bites, maybe I was hungry, and the dry food on the road was cold and stiff, and the rice ball was surprisingly fragrant!
After licking his mouth, Xie Qian thought that if he put less salt in it and added a piece of meat, it would be the most delicious dish in the world and would not be exchanged with others.
The team continued to move again. When it was Shen Wen's turn, Shen Wen was still a little anxious, but when he saw the person who was distributing the rice ball, suddenly, his body shook and his eyes suddenly widened.
This person... looks familiar.
His skin became darker again, and the water chestnuts on his face became more distinct. He was still so handsome, but he became a little more masculine. He was lowering his head and handing out the rice balls. He was very serious and skillfully wrapped a rice ball with lotus leaves and put it in Shen Wen's palm!
However, Shen Wen was still as petrified as if he was still moving, just continuing to stare at the person who was distributing the rice balls.
This is a scholar. He has not washed his clothes for a long time. Under his high nose, his lips slightly pursed. Seeing that Shen Wen refused to leave, he seemed to have become accustomed to this situation. He did not think much about delving into it. He just said, "One person has only one, if you eat one more, the person behind will be hungry. Come, the next one."
Shen Wen's body trembled. He tried hard to spit on his palms, then wiped his scattered hair with his palms, and suddenly, his tall head was revealed: "Ao...Ao'er?"
The scholar paused and looked at Shen Wen strangely.
Finally, the scholar's eyes shone and he shouted: "Dad..."
"Ao'er..." Shen Wen's rice ball fell on the ground, burst into tears, and said in a crying voice: "Dad is so bitter about you, your mother... is already crazy. If Dad doesn't find you, you will have a slight difference, and your father and your mother will not be able to live..."
Beating your chest and stumble your feet seriously disrupted the order.
Such scenes of recognizing relatives will always occur here every now and then. After the disaster, many wives and children will eventually reunite in this camp. Therefore, many people can understand such a scene, but the people behind them do not urge them.
"The child is unfilial." Shen Wen did not expect that his father actually found this place.
He looked at Shen Wen with a unkempt face with a scattered face. In his perception, his father was always calm and dressed in meticulous official clothes, extremely solemn.
Shen Wen cried heartbrokenly, but then laughed: "You are still alive, okay, just be alive, just be alive, just be alive, my son, you are losing weight again, are you hungry?"
Chen Ao blushed and said, "I'm not hungry, I ate two rice balls at noon. Dad, are you hungry?"
Shen Wen was silent for a moment, wiped away his tears, and felt full of ecstasy. His son was still alive, which was enough. Everything was fine when he was alive!
Then, he bowed to reality: "Hungry."
Chen Ao stuffed a rice ball to Shen Wen, then walked to Shen Wen's feet, picked up the rice ball that Shen Wen had just dropped into the mud, and wrapped it in lotus leaves again. Then he said to Shen Wen: "Dad, eat it quickly, it's a pity that I can't be slain. I'll eat it for dinner. Here, there are only two rice balls that work hard, you'll eat this one."
Shen Wen shivered and looked at Chen Ao picking up the rice ball on the ground, carefully wrapped it with lotus leaves, and stuffed it into his arms.
He was confused.
There is mud on it, so you treat it as supper, and you don’t have to worry about eating it badly.
He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly realized that his son had grown up and had his own opinions, and even... many times, the calmness and calmness he showed was even better than his father.
So, the words were swallowed back into his stomach and turned to say, "Are you here... to give me some food?"
He was just about to ask, and the officials who rushed back reacted, stepped forward one after another, and said excitedly: "Have you seen Liu Tao? Is Liu Tao still there?"
"Here, everyone is there, everyone is there, only a few are injured, one is sick, the others are all cured, all uncles are here?"
When everyone heard this, they finally felt relieved.
Someone was stroking his beautiful beard that had not been washed in a few days and couldn't help but roaring to the sky.
Some people also started to wipe their tears with their sleeves, but the sleeves were so dirty that their faces became blurred again.
"Dear uncles, come, yes..."
Everyone straightened their backs and then let go, so they naturally felt relieved. They kept their mission firmly in unison: "Relief on the victims!"
“…”
Chen Ao looked at them up and down to help... the victims...
But looking at their appearance, why do they seem to be the opposite...
A bit shameless.
Of course, Chen Ao dared not complain about his father in his heart.
On the side, a dirty guy hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, is your prince okay?"
"Dare to ask..." Chen Ao looked at this hurrying guy with a strange look, a little bit angry, but it made him hard to remember who it was. After all, no matter how he looked at this person, he looked like an old beggar.
When he met Chen Ao's gaze, Xie Qian suddenly remembered his identity, and straightened his body, unconsciously put his hand on his back, and said dignifiedly: "Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."
It has been a long time since I took the initiative to report my name. After all, as a cabinet minister who is highly regarded by everyone, Xie Qian has passed the level of the common name of the person who came. It is strange to say these words today.
So Chen Ao quickly greeted Xie Qian and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Xie, who is shady, and his prince is strengthening the river embankment on the river embankment. He...is very good."
Xie Qianbian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
His Highness the Crown Prince...is still alive.
That's fine, what's the best.
His eyes were a little red. He thought that after suffering so much, his hard work paid off.
Chen Ao seemed to start to dislike them a little: "Mr. Xie, Dad, uncles and uncles, I still have something to do, so I can't stand here..."
"I understand, I understand!" Without waiting for the others to agree, Shen Wen was so happy that he immediately stood aside and said proudly: "Get out of the way, those who have not received the rice ball should receive it quickly. Don't get the trouble after you finish it. Go there, my son has some serious things."
It seemed... Suddenly, Shen Wen felt that he had returned to the real world and others could shout, but he was the Hanlin Grand Secretary. Qingliu in the Qingliu, who dared to offend him or scold him? What's wrong?
But this is not the case with Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and is very high-level.
So he smiled at Xie Qian. He was worried about his son's safety before, if his son had something to do, everything would be gone. Now... he bowed to Xie Qian: "Mr. Xie, what the officials said does not include you."
Xie Qian had no time to pay attention to Shen Wen's "good-giving" to be friends again, so he hurriedly said: "Go up the river embankment, go up the river embankment, and find the prince first."
The people behind him received the rice balls, and while following Xie Qian, they hurried towards the river embankment.
As we walked along the way, everything was in order. Some of the people who had eaten rice balls hid in the shed to mend clothes, some taught themselves disobedient children, some of the men went up the mountain to log wood, and some went up the river bank.
In the past, the breach was temporarily blocked, but to rebuild the home, the river embankment had to be strengthened.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was like a majestic general, carrying a bag of pebbles, and then looked at Hu Kaishan, who had already sacrificed his father and ancestors from the village to worship him!
Hu Kaishan was carrying two sacks on both sides, and one was hanging around his waist, a total of three. He was tall and tall, three heads taller than Zhu Houzhao. He almost needed Zhu Houzhao to look up at him before he could see his face.
Zhu Houzhao's heavy breathing wiped the sweat from his forehead with her elbow, and her feet staggered, and she encountered mud, her feet were a little slippery, and her calves were sore and her calves were shaking.
But Hu Kaishan was carrying three sacks of stones, but he was walking on flat ground and breathing evenly.
"No wonder I can't keep it anymore after eating so much." Zhu Houzhao whispered, as if this could only vent her inner depression.
Behind him, Zhu Xiaorong was also panting and carrying a basket of stones, almost stepping on Zhu Houzhao's shadow. His little face turned red, and tears were spinning in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to follow Zhu Houzhao happily.
