Chapter 323 Licking first as a sign of respect
They are old and young, their clothes are patched, their exposed hands are thick and rough, their heads and faces are relatively clean, and their eyes are heavy and full of vicissitudes of life.
Even those children don't have the innocence of their age.
Cowardly and fearful, he huddled up cautiously and lowered his head so much that he was almost buried in the soil. He didn't dare to hide despite being looked at by the people around him.
Yan Laoer saw the person clearly and sent Li Xuemei back to the room first.
There are many people outside, so it won't be good if you get crowded.
When the officials who were escorting the people saw him, their eyes stopped laughing.
"Yan Er! Brothers, you have all heard that the eldest master came to your house on the 15th and had a delicious meal. Today, we are also shamelessly asking for a meal. You can't hide your secrets. Treat two good dishes
, Hehe, did you see, we have brought all the wine!"
Yan Laoer saw that they were indeed carrying several wine jars and said with a smile: "Easy to talk about, brothers will just do the same as my own family, I will cook by myself...are these people going to be placed in our village?"
"What kind of arrangement? These people are sent by the great master to work for you. If they have a place to live, food to eat and not starve to death, they will do it. Don't say that the brothers don't take care of them. Now, those few, don't look at the current illness
Nianyan, after being raised, they are all strong laborers. These people are very hard-working. Let them rest for a few days and see if what I said is true..."
"There's just one thing you and the people in your village should remember. These sick people are all old and young. Although they probably don't have the courage to run away, just in case, it's better to take some with them.
It’s a good thing for a young man. We can all feel at ease when using it this way. Otherwise, if someone escapes, not only your village, but also our government and the great master will be responsible.”
"Don't worry, the old and the young look weak, but they are all strong enough to lift rocks."
"By the way, why don't you see Yan Hushu?"
"My brother may have taken the children out for a walk. I think he will be home soon. Brothers, follow me. This is our yard..." Yan Laoer introduced the people into his house.
Village Chief Luo and several village elders were muttering together.
“If we don’t want people to come so quickly, where can we let them stay?”
Old Song banged his head and said: "It looks pitiful, but in the end he is guilty. I say you should not be too kind. We can take care of food and accommodation for these people. If there are too many of them, don't talk to them. Stay away."
, remember, this is what we are here to do."
Uncle Wang glared at him: "You are such a long-winded old boy, but we can handle it clearly.
But... let's forget it, adults. What's the fault of those children? It's just that they were reincarnated incorrectly and were born into the wrong family. Some of them are still sick. Let's give them some medicine. Otherwise, such a small child will not be able to survive.
Come."
Several old men nodded and agreed with his statement.
When Yan Huaiwen returned with Yan Xiangheng and Yan Yu, the villagers had not dispersed yet.
They were curious about what these exiled people looked like, and they were even more concerned about where they would be placed.
There are currently no vacant houses in Xiaoan Village, so it is very likely that these people will be allowed to live in their homes.
These guys don't even care about working, they are just staring here.
I want to identify from the face which person is less troublesome and easier to get along with.
When Liang Manshan saw Yan Huaiwen coming back, he took a step forward and pulled him aside.
Yan Yu and his eldest brother looked at each other and followed in a tacit understanding.
"Those quick guys said that we can use him, but his name is still hanging in the quarry, and it's not easy to publicize it to the outside world."
Yan Huaiwen nodded and said: "I will leave tomorrow. Manshan will have to worry about how to arrange these people."
Liang Manshan: "These are all easy to talk about. I'm just worried that they won't obey and want to run away..."
Yan Huaiwen chuckled and said: "Don't worry about Manshan. Where can they go without household registration? Guanzhou is no better than Leshan. There is still a way to survive in the mountains. If they run into the mountains nearby, they will only die. Not to mention that they are either old or weak.
, I’m afraid he is courageless, and besides, if Mr. Tian dares to send people here, he must have someone to rely on.”
"I feel relieved when you say that." Liang Manshan breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while: "I want to put those sick people in a home with more males. What do you think?"
"Very good." Yan Huaiwen's eyes fell on the familiar little girl, and he said slowly: "My house is spacious and can accommodate people."
Liang Manshan disagreed: "It's not right, it's not right. Once you leave, there will only be two men in the house, brother Huai'an and Heng'er. If these two go out again, there will only be one house of women and children left..."
"It doesn't matter, the neighbors nearby are very helpful, and it's still easy to live with two or three children."
Besides, his waiter is as good as a male.
Yan Laoer was busy in the kitchen, and the government servants didn't go anywhere. They stayed by his side. Several grown men occupied the kitchen and had a great time killing chickens and fish.
The villagers waited for a long time, and the village elders finally agreed on where these people would go.
Those who didn't have to take people home were relieved, and the families who were arranged to live there didn't have any objections.
Lived around for a short time.
Just now, Xiucai Gong made it clear that they should build a house to live in when they are not busy, and the village can at most help them.
Their rations and all their needs are recorded in the account first, and they will be credited with one day's work points for each day's work, and then the two will be offset.
Hearing that work points are calculated for these people, everyone has an idea in mind and knows how to treat them.
Just treat them as helpers.
After getting the right word, he divided the person into parts and took the person home.
Yan Huaiwen also brought one back, no, he carried it back.
The most seriously ill among these people is this little girl. She has just recovered from a serious illness and has not yet recovered. Her body is as soft as noodles and she can fall down even if she stands.
Yan Yu recognized her as the one he had seen before in Huju. Whether it was her uncle, her brother, or her, they all left a deep impression on Yan Yu.
After placing the person on the kang in her room, Yan Yu turned around and went out, then lit the fire wall of her room.
When I came back, I had an extra mask on my face.
"What's your name?" Yan Yu asked.
"Qing...er..." the girl whispered.
She looked at this handsome little brother timidly, not daring to move.
"The name is really nice." Yan Yu praised with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. We are all good people in our village, and we won't let you do too much tiring work. It's much easier than in the quarry. You will probably stay here until next spring, and take advantage of these few months to take good care of your health.
.”
She touched the kang, and before the temperature came up, she helped tuck in the quilt.
"There is a doctor in our village, but I'm afraid I can't take care of him now. I'll ask someone to come and see you later."
The little girl looked at her blankly.
Yan Yu knew that she had just arrived in a new place and was probably full of panic, so she asked her to comfort people gently. She really didn't know how to do this, so she could only talk like an old woman, hoping to alleviate some of the little girl's fears.
"My mother is sick and it's not convenient for her to come here. I made an agreement with my eldest sister and we will take turns taking care of you..."
Just as he was talking, Daya brought water in.
It's funny to see her talk to people dryly.
"Little Er, come here, give me a hand." Da Ya tested the temperature of the water, moistened the cloth, and prepared to wipe the little girl's head and face.
Yan Yu finally found the rhythm of taking care of people and hurried over to help them up.
I didn't want the little girl to softly say no, and her tears fell down.
He also cried in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s fly: “Brother…wuwu…brother…”
A flash of lightning flashed in Yan Yu's mind.
Instant enlightenment!
Yes, she is a "little brother" now!
"Little sister, look at me carefully, I am the elder sister." She put her face close and pointed at herself.
The little girl looked at her with teary eyes, obviously not believing it.
The two sisters took turns and explained for a long time. Yan Yu spread her hair and the little girl believed it. She became embarrassed, her face turned red, and she said softly: "Thank you, sister..."
Let her two sisters help her clean up.
The little girl kept saying thank you, fearing that she would miss a word.
Yan Yu compared each other's heights and asked her: "Qing'er, how old are you?"
"Qinger is five years old."
Very good, according to the custom here, it is only three or four years old.
What a crime for such a young child to be exiled and locked up!
"Did your brother come here with you?" Yan Yu thought of the boy hiding the money bag.
"Brother... move rocks." Qing'er's mood, which had just improved, suddenly dropped.
Da Ya went out and came back, holding Yan Yu in her hand to put on small clothes.
I plan to change her clothes first, wash the dirty ones on her body, dry them and then change them back.
It's not that he was reluctant to wear it for her, but the small clothes Yan Yu wore were a bit too big for her, baggy and awkward.
Yan Yu was taking off her child's clothes despite her objections, when she suddenly felt a familiar touch.
silver!
Qing'er's eyes were full of tears and she didn't dare to cry loudly. She was so scared that her little body was shaking.
Wow, she didn't keep the money her brother gave her.
Yan Yu looked as usual, took out a crudely made money bag, took out the broken silver inside, wiped it clean with the remaining water in the basin, stuffed it into Qing'er's bed, and then rolled up the money bag and the dirty clothes.
Take it away.
Daya thoughtfully fed Qing'er a few mouthfuls of warm water.
He touched her head and asked her to squint for a while, then come over and look at her again.
The two sisters went out and smiled at each other.
The addition of a young patient to the family does not have much impact on the Yan family.
Qing'er is so good that she doesn't cry or make trouble. If she hadn't been asked, she wouldn't even dare to say anything.
Fortunately, we live in the same hospital, so it's not a big deal to go there often.
For dinner, two tables were opened in the Yan family. At one table, two brothers, Yan Huaiwen and Yan Lao, entertained several government servants. The female family members had a separate table in Li Xuemei's house.
When Yan Huaiwen was there, the government officials obviously couldn't let him go. As soon as he left the table, good guy, Yan Laoer almost had people drink him under the table.
The wine they brought was not good wine. Although the wine tasted weak, it was overpowering.
Yan Laoer didn't feel bad when he drank it, it was so bold. After waiting for a while, he felt that the world was spinning and the figure was standing upside down.
"The beginning of the universe... King Zhou Wu and Zheng... burp... I can recite it... Zi once said:... He said too many words! Wow! Why do you say so many words! That person who is the record-keeper, you
Come out, you said you don’t want to be a disciple properly, why should you be a recorder! You must drink this glass of wine! As the old saying goes, if you feel deep feelings, take a sip, and if you feel light, lick it... I will lick it first, you can do whatever you want
…”
