Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

"Is that little girl your sister?" Jiang Yuanzheng was slightly startled, then he was shocked: "You said this is the capital?"

Song Zeyuan smiled and nodded.

Jiang Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at him seriously: "Now that the city gates are closed, how did your sister bring me back?"

“The students don’t know either.”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Jiang Yuanzheng swallowed his doubts and said, "Then I will bother you at your house tonight."

"You don't have to be polite, Dean. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to study at the academy. I will always remember your kindness," Song Zeyuan said, noticing the fatigue in Dean Jiang's eyes. He said gently, "Dan, rest assured. I will ask Uncle Qin to take you home tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank your sister for me."

Song Zeyuan placed the cup of water beside the bed so that Jiang Yuanzheng could drink it when he was thirsty. Then he extinguished the candle, took the quilt and went to the front yard to sleep.

As the sky gradually brightened, the family began to get up. When Mrs. Cai went to the backyard, Song Ze heard the noise and woke up. Thinking of Jiang Yuanzheng in his room, he quickly put on his clothes and went to the backyard.

As soon as Mrs. Cai entered the kitchen and lit the fire, she heard some noise in the yard. She looked out of the kitchen and saw Song Zeyuan coming from the front yard. She was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Mr. Song, you got up so early, why are you coming from the front?"

"I stayed in the front yard last night," Song Zeyuan walked into the kitchen. "We have guests at home. The academy's director came to our house to rest last night. He is sleeping in my room now. Please trouble Granny Cai to boil some more hot water. I will fetch water for the director to wash up later."

Mrs. Cai suddenly realized and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll boil some more water. I just don't know if the director has any dietary restrictions?"

"There's nothing to avoid, Granny Cai can just cook it according to her usual taste."

After talking to Mrs. Cai, Song Zeyuan went out with the hot water. As soon as he reached the door of the room, he heard some noise inside. He simply stood outside the door and asked, "Is the director awake?"

After hearing the voice from inside, Song Zeyuan pushed the door open and went in. He placed the basin on the shelf, and then helped Dean Jiang to stand up. "Danzheng, wash up first. Breakfast is already ready."

"Okay, thank you very much."

"What the dean said is nothing. It is what the students should do. After breakfast, the students will send the dean home."

Jiang Yuanzheng nodded with a smile, and after washing his face, he said, "Tell me about the situation in the city in detail."

"Yes."

Song Zeyuan recounted the series of orders issued by the emperor, and talked about the military patrols that could be seen everywhere in the city. Finally, he talked about the resettlement of the victims outside the city. It was not until he heard the voice of Mrs. Cai calling for dinner outside that Song Zeyuan got up and went out to serve the food.

Mrs. Cai made a simple breakfast. She only made shredded chicken porridge, steamed a pot of meat buns, and added some pickles. It was quite comfortable to eat in the summer.

Song Zeyuan brought the food into the house and placed it on the table: "Our breakfast is simple, I hope the headmaster will not dislike it."

Jiang Yuanzheng smiled and waved his hand, leaned over to the porridge and smelled it, with a kind smile on his face: "It's already very rich, let's eat, I'm so hungry."

"Okay, please go first."

The two of them were eating breakfast quietly in the house. In the kitchen, Feng Ru had just returned from boxing practice and was talking to Mrs. Cai about the guests at home.

Only after Song Zeyuan and his companion came out could Mrs. Cai and the others see the appearance of their guests clearly.

Song Shiwei would not get up until Chen time, so Song Zeyuan had to explain to Jiang Yuanzheng and then told Uncle Qin to drive.

Feng Ru trotted over to Song Zeyuan and said, "Brother Song, I prepared some things for the director. I asked Uncle Qin to put them on the carriage. Remember to give them to Director Jiang."

After all, he is the dean of the academy. If Song Zeyuan could be taken care of by him while studying in the academy, he would be able to have a smoother journey in the future. Therefore, before going to bed last night, Song Shiwei prepared some things for Dean Jiang. However, they were not expensive things. Song Shiwei thought that food was difficult to buy in the city, so he took out 50 kilograms of rice, 6 kilograms of pork, a few bags of snacks and a bag of fine tea from the space.

Song Zeyuan responded, and then he and Jiang Yuanzheng went out one after another.

When Song Shiwei woke up, Song Zeyuan had not returned yet. He was sitting in the main room, eating snacks and listening to Feng Ru chattering.

"Brother Song sent Jiang Yuanzheng home early this morning. I told him about the gift my sister prepared. When Jiang Yuanzheng left, he asked about my sister. I told him that my sister was still sleeping. Jiang Yuanzheng was stunned at the time and said that he would bring his wife home to thank my sister another day."

Song Shiwei nodded slightly after hearing this: "No need to thank me. The city is in a state of panic right now, so it's better not to go out as much as possible."

"I told him the same thing. Not to mention at night, even in broad daylight there are few people walking around outside. There are soldiers patrolling everywhere. If you hang out outside, you might be interrogated by them. Granny Cai goes out to buy groceries every day and Sister Jasmine accompanies her. They come back right after buying groceries and never stay out for a moment."

"Have you ever visited the embroiderer who taught you embroidery?"

Feng Ru smiled and nodded: "I went to see those disaster victims before they came to the capital. The master's family was very poor, and all the money she earned was used to support her son's education and writing. When I went there, she bought a lot of rice, flour and cakes, and also gave him a piece of paper and a brush."

Feng Ru said with a little shyness: "It was Brother Song who suggested buying paper and pen. When Master saw the paper and pen, she was very happy. I told her that I would learn embroidery after I settled down in the capital."

Song Shiwei raised his eyebrows: "That's good."

"Sister, are you going out today?"

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

Feng Ru smiled and pointed outside: "Sister Lin sent someone to ask again this morning."

"It seems she can't stay at home."

"Sister Lin's personality is not quiet either, but I think she just wants to stay where her sister is. She'll be happy even if you don't talk."

Song Shiwei didn't say anything after hearing this. He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea before speaking: "I'm not going out today."

"That's great. I'll tell them later. I'm sure Sister Lin will be very happy when she knows about it," Feng Ru said, then jumped out.

Lin Ting brought Lin Mubai over the wall to find Song Shiwei after lunch. As soon as he saw Song Shiwei, he directly sent Lin Mubai to find Song Zeyuan, and he ran towards Song Shiwei happily.

Song Shiwei stood outside the main house, and when Lin Ting came closer, she smiled and said, "You are a good sister."

Lin Mubai stood in the yard and looked at Lin Ting's back with resentment.

Lin understood and immediately laughed: "My brother couldn't stay idle at home either. When he heard that I was coming to see you, he insisted on following me. He also said that he wanted to discuss academic matters with Xiao Song, so I had no choice but to bring him here with great reluctance."

Song Shi smiled and turned to walk into the house.

Feng Ru came over with tea and looked at Lin Ting with a bright smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister Lin has become more beautiful."

Lin Ting pinched Feng Ru's cheeks and said, "You're still so sweet."

"Sister Lin is very pretty. Granny Cai knows you are coming and is making snacks in the kitchen. They will be ready soon."

"Then thank her for me," Lin Ting said as he went into the house with Feng Ru. He walked to the bookshelf and took out a storybook with ease, then returned to the couch and leaned against it without any image.
