...』

It's actually just as cold inside the house.

It's windy and cold outside, like a sharp knife cutting me, but inside the house it's cold, like a blunt needle pricking me.

Niu Dalang held his little sister in his arms, and the two of them huddled up, shivering, staring at the sky outside the window, waiting for the sky to get dark. At that time, they could rekindle the fire, while keeping the cold away, while cooking the late breasts, and then

After eating, I quickly went to bed and rested for a few hours with some warmth, until I was woken up by the cold again.

Suddenly a voice came from outside the courtyard: "The Niu family, are the Niu family here?"

Niu Dalang recognized that it seemed to be the voice of the neighbor's aunt, so he quickly responded and walked out, "Here! Here! Is it Aunt Wang?"

Aunt Wang looked at Niu Dalang, with a little pity on her old face, "Is my Niu girl feeling better? Have you eaten, my child? Come, here is a piece of pancake, don't dislike it, take it! Be obedient! Take it!"

』

Aunt Wang couldn't help but stuff the black pancake into Niu Dalang's arms, then looked around, frowned and said: "It's such a cold day, why don't you light some fire to warm yourself up? If it freezes, what will you do next year?"

Don’t be reluctant to give up the coal you got. Use it when you need it. It’s fundamental that people are kind..."

"Ah uh..." Niu Dalang sniffed, "What did you say, ma'am? What coal?"

Aunt Wang couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Haven't you gone to get your coal yet?"

Niu Dalang was stunned.

Aunt Wang understood, sighed, and said: "General Hussar is kind, and every household will be given something per capita... While it's still early, go to the next village to find the director of the pavilion... Remember to bring a basket."

...Go quickly, go quickly..."

The coal and charcoal in winter are not only used for heating, but also represent a little more hope of survival, extending the life of suffering in winter!

Niu Dalang hurriedly took the basket and rushed to the next village.

The village next door is much larger than Niu Dalang's village, and the largest courtyard is the home of Chief Zhao Ting.

From a distance, Niu Dalang saw long white smoke rising from the chimney of Zhao Tingchang's house. The door was also wide open, and there was a lot of people. It seemed that there was a faint rolling heat wave sweeping over, driving away all the cold inside and outside the courtyard.

There were two helpers outside Zhao Tingzhang's door. One of them stared, "What are you doing? Do you know where this place is? Ah? Don't hang around here if you have nothing to do!"

Niu Dalang was shivering, his clothes were mostly soaked in the wind and snow, "I...I...come, come, get...coal...coal..."

"What the hell!" Bang Xian snorted, "It ended yesterday! I just came to collect it today! Do you think this is your home? Come whenever you want? Ah? Get out!"

Another helper patted the wooden sign standing on the door wall, "Did you see it? It's clearly written in such big words! As of yesterday, you can get it by showing the sign! If you don't get it after the time limit, it will be confiscated voluntarily."

On! Do you understand? Ah ha, I forgot, you will definitely say you don’t recognize it...』

Niu Dalang nodded repeatedly, indicating that he really did not recognize the words on it.

The two gangsters laughed loudly and pointed at Niu Dalang, as if they had encountered something extremely joyful. "I said, don't you? You don't even recognize it... These unscrupulous people are all the same! Do you know it's you?"

Do you understand what happened? This sign is standing here. This is the rule! This is the process! It is the same for everyone, treated equally, and is extremely fair! Who the hell do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to break the rules and destroy the rules?

Process? Huh?』

Niu Dalang fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face, "Young man, you really, really don't know...Small, small, yes, it's the village next door, really, really, really."

I've never heard anyone say it... If it weren't for Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang told me, the younger one would have known..."

"Ah ah ah ah..." The young helper grinned in disgust and turned his head away from Niu Dalang, "He's doing this again. He kneels down and cries at every turn. You unscrupulous people, can you have some backbone?

?Isn’t it just a little coal? What about that? Ah?』

Niu Dalang wiped his tears and said, "My mother is bedridden at home, and there is a little sister who I need to take care of... Without these coals, I'm afraid it will be difficult... I also ask my two uncles to help me... I'm so kind and kind, little one."

sure……"

"Ah, I remembered, you are the Dailang of the Niu family, right? Okay, okay, have you brought the sign?" The slightly older helper frowned, seeing Niu Dalang's look, he might have thought of it.

Something, somewhat soft-hearted, sighed and said, "Give me the sign first, and I will help you ask..."

Another gangster pulled him, "Are you stupid?"

"Hey, I'm just asking, it's not up to me whether it works or not..."

"Have you thought about it..."

"I got it!" said the elder assistant, "Tingzhang Zhao is unparalleled in his kindness and virtue. He is well-known in the countryside. Of course he will not ignore death, but it is a good thing..."

"Tch, it's up to you, it's up to you..." The other helper no longer stopped him.

Less than half an hour later, the elder helper came out with a frown on his face, pointed at the sign and said to Niu Dalang: "This sign says Niu Sixia's, right? Aren't you Niu Sixia?"

Niu Dalang nodded repeatedly, "I am Niu Dalang... That brand belongs to my father..."

"General Hussar has an order not to take it under false names... The brand you are holding is "Niu Si Xia", but you are Niu Da Lang..." The old helper seemed to have a headache, and he said a little awkwardly, "The pavilion chief is benevolent,

I am willing to make an exception for the sake of my fellow villagers, but this... the brand does not match the person, so I cannot take it. If I give it to you, we will be disobeying the military order and will be beheaded..."
