Chapter Eighty Seven
"Brother-in-law, please get up? How can Li Jia be so virtuous? He can bear such a heavy gift!" Li Jia was startled in such a situation, and was suddenly kneeled down by a fifty or sixty years old, which was really scary.
During the Tang Dynasty, the highest etiquette was not to kneel down, but to bow deeply, rather than the common kneeling in later generations. However, during the Five Dynasties, high stools were popularized, and kneeling and sitting gradually became insulting, which was equivalent to bow deeply and could not be used easily.
In the era of Confucian rule, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a tradition. If Li Jia accepted it safely, the reputation he had accumulated over the past few years would be destroyed.
"If there were no husbands, the lives of our grass-roots people would have been taken away by our servants, and it would have been lighter for the family to be destroyed! The husbands naturally deserve it."
Leave the house and quickly went over to help him up. He felt a lot more relieved when he listened to the old man's words. He still said humbly:
"Li Jia is not doing enough! I can come earlier, but Danzhou City will not be destroyed, and you will not be homeless!"
"Thank you, Mr. -"
"Thank you, Mr. -"
At some point, hundreds of people had gathered on the streets and rubble one after another. Seeing this scene, they bent down one after another and bowed deeply.
Such a neat picture is simply amazing. Everyone's faces are full of gratitude and their expressions are not fake at all. Obviously, Li Jia has been in the limelight this time.
"Li Jia is ashamed!" Li Jia was a little worried about the sincere faces, with tears in her eyes, especially the three or four-year-old child, with clear eyes and gray clothes.
After all, he is also a person who grows under the Red Banner. He feels guilty of using it like this.
Bent over and gave a gift, it could be considered an apology to the dead!
"Everyone, Danzhou City suffered this catastrophe. Li Jia believes that he will be reborn in the fire like a legendary phoenix and become more prosperous!" After feeling a little guilty, Li Jia sorted out his mood again and said loudly with a 'sincere' smile:
"From today, I will serve porridge in the city for three days, which is also Li Jia's wish!"
"Since Mr. Li is like this, I can't fall behind. Chen's mansion will also offer porridge for three days!" The old man in silk clothes was leaning on a crutch at this time, and his smart eyes were shaking.
I looked at the people around me, and I was so disgusted by this behavior of climbing a tree along the pole.
"Do you have free time tomorrow? I'm going to have a banquet and thank you for your kindness!" The old man touched his beard, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he smiled happily.
"Since my father-in-law sincerely invites you, how can you be irresponsible as a junior?" Although he couldn't understand what medicine the old fox sold, Li Jia had no worries. The entire Danzhou City was almost in his hands. Some monsters and monsters could only seek death if they provoked him.
The two big and small foxes looked at each other and seemed to know something.
"My mother, I'm hungry!"
"Good dog, my mother is going to find something for you to eat!"
Sitting beside the falling rubble of his house, Zheng Kuan was as anxious as a knife. The old house passed down by his ancestors was destroyed today. This damn barbarian heard the conversation between his wife and his son, and he became more and more hated.
"What are you doing, my aunt?" Suddenly I saw my aunt running to the collapsed house in her house, pulling the stones with her hands, looking for something.
"Goudan is hungry, we're fine, but he's still young, so he can't be hungry!" The lady was big and round, wearing a coarse cloth and a wooden fork, squatting on the rubble and churning, which was extremely indecent.
"What can you find under this piece of stone?" Zheng Kuan cursed without thinking:
"Look, half of the wall collapsed, and you were still put in. Just for a few cakes, you are going to be angry to death!"
"What's that? Goudan is still young and hasn't eaten for a day. What should he do if he is hungry?" The woman turned out to be normal, and she crossed her waist and became fierce.
As he spoke, his eyes became red and swollen again.
"Didn't you listen just now? The one named Li Langjun is going to serve porridge for three days! In these three days, we will find someone to clean up the house, and I will practice it and can stay on the spot for a while!"
Zheng Kuan suddenly thought of the young husband's words just now, and suddenly felt angry in his heart, and said with his waist straight:
"When we went out, we brought all the valuable things. Besides, there was a shortage of people on this pier. Let's go and earn some money. Otherwise, we will borrow some money and get the stove ready. With my skills, life will be better!"
"I don't know if it's true or not!" the aunt muttered softly, looking disbelief.
"What do you know, your aunt? Your hair is long and short!" Zheng Kuan looked at the reluctant look and scolded:
"What a big business is Li Langjun, half of the ships in the port belong to his family, and he will not be untrustworthy!" In the end, his momentum became more and more powerful.
"I don't know whether it's true or not, there is such a kind-hearted person!"
"This Li Langjun is very capable. Did you hear that he has a big belly disease? He got the prescription and saved many people."
"So it's this Li Langjun, it's really the Buddha alive!"
The family of three walked along the way, listening to the words of those who also went to eat porridge, and felt sad and happy. As they walked in a hurry, they arrived at the place where the porridge was served.
The long queue was already lined up, and the family was rushing to line up, and suddenly they saw the neighbor drinking porridge and walking backwards.
"Chen Xiaoliu——"
"Zheng Da!"
"How is this porridge? Is it delicious?" Zheng Kuan pulled his sleeve and asked hurriedly.
"It's sticky! We haven't drunk such porridge in several months!" Chen Xiaoliu hurriedly protected the bowl, showed off again, and left with a smile.
"The head of the house, this porridge is so thick!" The aunt smiled particularly brightly.
"I'll just say that you are a woman and still keep talking!" Zheng Kuan was right and refused to forgive him.
In about a quarter of an hour, the family of three had a hot red bean porridge. They picked up the red beans from the porridge into their son's bowl. Seeing his son's appearance of eating voraciously, Zheng Kuan felt guilty.
I have no ability, only know how to make iron, can't protect my wife and children, and I will lose most of the money I earn when an attack from a man.
Drinking the hot porridge, Zheng Kuan felt uncomfortable as if chewing wax.
"This day can't continue like this!" Zheng Kuan made up his mind and muttered.
"Come on, eat quickly!" At this time, the aunt cut half of the porridge in the bowl into his bowl.
"What are you doing?"
"You are the pillar of your family, you can't be hungry, let alone keep your energy to make a blacksmith! You can't lose money." The aunt retorted righteously.
"Our family can't go on like this anymore, we have to change!" Zheng Kuan stood up and said in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
