Chapter 67 I heard it means the prince

"Yes, yes, it wouldn't be so shabby under normal circumstances, but times are difficult these days, so I hope you won't refuse." Baocai said with a smile.

Jin Yan and Jiang Yan really couldn't shirk it. Although refusing to go with them was not an unkind thing, in the end they were betraying their good intentions. It would be a bit bad to refuse their thanks again.

They have very good attitudes, and they all say that they won’t hit anyone with a smiling face.

Besides, this family seemed quite nice, so they agreed to have dinner together.

The Bao family deliberately let them sit on the donkey cart, thinking that they were walking alone and must have been working hard.

But Jin Yan politely refused, but Baozi Niang said that people should put things on the table if they don't want to sit down. After some refusal, she took them to find Jin Jiaojiao.

When they saw his magnificent carriage, they immediately understood that his family was well-off and he even had a horse.

"When I saw you two before, I thought you had walked all the way, but it turned out there was a carriage." Baozi Niang immediately laughed, "It's good to have a car. It's not safe outside these days."

During the time he was out, Jin Yan had been driving his carriage to places with few people. When he stopped to eat, he always looked for places where no one was around. He didn't encounter a few careless people.

She has foresight, and the world outside is in chaos, so her carriage is just a piece of cake in the eyes of others.

After Jiang Yan came back, he took Jin Jiaojiao to look for water nearby and see if there was anything to eat.

As soon as Brother Baocai arrived at the field, he and Baozi went to collect firewood nearby. When they came back, they picked up a grain bag from the donkey cart and Baozi waited with a basin. He was so skillful that it made people feel sad.

Jin Yan was so moved that he wanted to help. Baozi was not even as old as Jin Jiaojiao, so he already knew how to help his parents with work.

Seeing that she couldn't sit still, Baozi Niang grabbed her and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The two of them are used to working. Let the men do these things. Let's sit down and rest for a while."

Jin Yan twitched the corners of his lips, this Bao Zi Niang was quite interesting, it seemed that Bao Zi Niang was in charge of their house.

Families with strict hemp control are rare these days, but the Bao family's situation is different. They are happy and happy.

Just as she was about to nod, she saw the cabbage man in the distance scooping out two large bowls of flour from the grain bag!

"Baozi girl! Why did you come up with so much flour!"

She was stunned. This family was so willing to thank them. She didn't even dare to squander the rice and noodles in her car like this.

However, Baozi Niang glanced back as if she was just seeing things, and said dissatisfiedly, "Bring out some more, there are so many of us, how can these be enough to eat!"

Baocai immediately nodded, "Baozi, hold the basin, and dad will scoop out another bowl."

"There's no need to scoop out so much, we can just eat some."

Baozi Niang smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, our car only has flour, and we can't get out any other food."

Her family used to be in the steamed stuffed bun business, and usually the most abundant food in the house was flour.

It happened that they spent more than half of their net worth to buy flour. They originally wanted to prepare the goods for half a year. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden drought, so they simply stopped doing business and closed their doors to live on their own.

"It's just that life in the small town was not easy. Soon there were fewer people selling vegetables nearby, the rivers and wells started to dry up, and finally the whole town had no water to drink, so we came out."

Jin Yan suddenly realized, "But how did you get taken away by those people?"

When she mentioned this, Mrs. Baozi became particularly angry, "We originally planned to go to the capital. Our family has saved some money over the years, so it would be good to make a living there."

"But when we got to the city gate, we couldn't even get in. Those people were blocking the place, blocking the soup kitchen."

Brother Baocai listened to their conversation and started to boo from a distance, "Moreover, when there are more people, they will inevitably be squeezed here and there. Several times I saw them come out with bruises and swollen faces because they were squeezed."

Baozi Niang immediately let out an ouch, "Really or not, we are hiding far away, how did you know?"

Baocai sat down on the ground and said, "Aren't we going to the city? I'm afraid those people will go crazy and steal our things, so I stay away, but I still want to take a look. But guess what, the gate of the city is crowded every day.

Everyone was trampled here and there in this crowd, and many people’s clothes were torn due to the crowd, and even worse, their bodies were covered with injuries.”

Jin Yan covered his mouth in surprise, "It's so serious!"

Then this is a serious stampede accident. If you don't take more control, it can easily happen.

"During that time, I moved around a lot, and my clothes were squeezed out. Anyway, it was very messy." Baicai felt frightened when he thought of that scene, with so many people crowded into one place.

Baozi Niang exclaimed, "It's really scary. We stayed there for two months and didn't get better. We originally planned to leave, but for some reason, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came and stopped the people at the city gate.

They were all taken away."

"The one you mentioned was the first time. We were far away and it was fine. They came several times later and almost arrested all the people at the city gate."

Their family was not spared outside. They were beaten again and again, so they had no choice but to follow.

Jin Yan frowned, "There is drought everywhere and people are displaced. Shouldn't the emperor appease the people and open warehouses to provide disaster relief? Why would he arrest you all?"

Baozi Niang shook her head, "I don't know. Anyway, I saw those people were taken away. I don't know where they were taken."

Their home was far away, so they had no idea what was going on except to watch the excitement.

Jin Yan was also shocked. She had been in the capital for half a month, and she didn't expect that such a thing would be so close to her.

"When we came here, a few people in the group knew about it. I heard that it was the prince's intention. I can't explain exactly what it is."

The family only had some savings, and almost all of it was used to honor the military lords, so they could save their donkey cart.

Baocai said while making noodles, "Fortunately, we have escaped now. If we be careful in the future, everything will be fine."

Not long after, Jiang Yan also came back, bringing some water.

Jin Yan quickly went over and pulled him, "You guys have been going for a long time. Is the place with water too far away?"

Jiang Yan looked at her, "It's not too far, but the water source is guarded, and each person can only receive one bowl."

He and Jin Jiaojiao only filled half of the water bag together, so they couldn't take more.

Jin Yan comforted the two of them, "It's okay. It's better than nothing. Everyone needs water now. If we don't be more strict, what will happen to others?"

"Come over and eat quickly. I'll post some pancakes and eat them soon."

The two families sat down and all they had to eat today was steamed buns, but for them, these were really satisfying.

Jiang Yan brought her a piece of steamed bun, patted it carefully on his hand, "It's not too hot anymore, let's eat it."

Aunt Baozi smiled and said, "You two have a really good relationship. The young man loves his wife."
