"Aunt Song, is the soup ready?" Yan Yu ran towards the steaming cauldron.
"Okay, okay!" The eldest girl from the Song family moved the wooden bowl away quickly.
There are only about ten of them in total, and I don’t have more at home.
"Waiter, call for people." She said while stirring the pot.
In addition to the pot in front of her, there were two stoves next to it. While the lady making soup was working, she couldn't help but peek at the second young master of the Yan family in Xiao'an Village. Oh, the village doesn't like to call him that, so he calls his family.
The second boy...
Yan Xiaoer is even more special. As long as people in the village call him "Xiaoer" without adding his last name, no one else in the village refers to him.
Yan Yu felt their gazes, turned her head and smiled at them.
"Aunt Song, have you tried it? How does it taste?" Yan Yu stopped calling people and wanted to know how the soup tasted.
There was no way around it. The villagers who came today were going out in the cold winter, so they all wore the thickest and most decent clothes at home. However, compared with the villagers in Xiaoan Village, they still looked a little thin.
Yan Yu thought about boiling a few pots of hot soup and putting some of her spicy pork strips in it. The toad meat strips were full of heat and perfectly spicy. She didn't need too much, just a little was enough. She covered it with ginger and it was gone.
So conspicuous.
Every family in the village had saved some ginger, and they could save more by cooking it together, so when Yan Yu mentioned it, the village agreed.
Grandpa Song took over the matter and asked several girls in his family to take turns doing it.
The reason why we don't do it together, but take turns, is to arrange a job for the ladies who come from the quarry.
"I just had a taste. It's not bad. I feel warm all over my body." The eldest girl of the Song family said with a smile.
"Then win, Aunt Song. Don't be reluctant to give it up later. Serve it all to them. This militia was organized by my uncle Zhang Luo. We got frostbite on the first day we came here. Well...it doesn't sound good." Yan Yu said seriously.
said.
"We know the importance of this. Dad has told us this many times at home."
"That's okay, I'll call someone!"
Yan Yu ran away again.
He was all alone, with no one to help him convey the message.
That's because all the children in the village are detained in the school.
The village elders have long warned that the militia is a big deal and don't let the naughty boys from each family come out to cause trouble.
These guys are very difficult to control now, and they have been clamoring to go into the mountains several times.
No matter where you go into the mountains, you don’t look at your own head, just step on it and bury your little head in the snow...
What? The waiter went into the mountains?
Brat! Do you have the intelligence of the waiter, or the strength of the waiter? How can you compete with the waiter?!
…
Yan Laoer spent money to hire people. At first, the management of the quarry was a little restrained, and all the people who came were old and young men. I don't know when, the older ladies and younger ladies started to get involved more and more.
The people in Xiaoan Village were also kind and invited them all to come.
Yan Yu has been busy recently and hasn't been around the village much, otherwise she would have found that there were more than a dozen houses filled to the brim...
It's not that the village can't accommodate them, but the village elders unanimously feel that this saves fuel.
Probably because they were crowded together on a kang, the men, women, and children in the quarry got along very well with the people in Xiaoan Village.
These former officials and wives were all hard-working, friendly and polite.
Several of them were said to be knowledgeable and were recommended by Mr. Kang to teach in the village school.
The men worked with the men in Xiaoan Village, repairing igloos, making snow bags, skinning and deboning the wild animals they picked up, riding sledges to Huju, Gu Feng to collect firewood, and going to the charcoal field to help with the burning.
carbon……
There is a lot of work in Xiaoan Village. You can be busy from morning to night without even touching the ground.
The women were relatively free, so they followed the ladies of each family to do light work.
In addition to cleaning the house and cooking, they recently learned from the ladies in the village to grow vegetables in the house.
Green shallots, tender Chinese cabbage, leeks crop up again and again... Two or three families also grow rare cucumbers, which are so precious that I can't wait to see them three times a day.
The most amazing thing is the mushroom growing in the bag of broken wood, rags, pebbles and charcoal.
I had to set aside a special room, cover the windows and doors with cloth, light a fire on the wall, and set up a basin...
The mushroom grows so fast!
There is only one family in Xiao'an Village that owns Mugufang, and that is the Yan family.
Mrs. Rong of the Yan family would come back every other day, mainly to see the mushroom house.
She doesn't mind teaching others, but this Lady Rong cannot speak and can only rely on gestures. How much she can understand depends on the individual.
There are also many children sent to the quarry.
This is especially a headache for the village.
I don’t know what to do with them, I just want them to be idle, but I don’t think it’s appropriate. After all, Yan Laoer hired them with money. No matter how big or small they are, they have to spend copper coins. They just feed them, and they don’t even have food and shelter.
, I feel panicked just thinking about it.
The village elders discussed and discussed and came up with a job for them, which was to look after the fire.
Charcoal has a higher temperature than firewood and is more resistant to burning. But everyone knows that the price of charcoal has soared now, so they are reluctant to give it up. They add charcoal to the kang hole twice at night, and it is warm all night. During the day, everyone
The guys still burn more firewood, so someone has to add more firewood every once in a while and dig out the holes with hooks.
At the beginning, these children were not very good at it, and they were all very embarrassed. But no one is born with the ability to do it. As long as they are willing to learn, there is nothing they can't do.
The people in the village didn't take it seriously at all. If it didn't work once, they would do it twice, and if it didn't work two times, they would do it three times. Whose child didn't come here like this?
Within two or three days, these children got started.
The people in Xiaoan Village began to be wary, but later they found out that these children were well-educated, had no problems with petty theft, and were very polite. They caught up with the family to cook and stuffed them with steamed buns and pancakes. That was a sign of courtesy.
After watching it, I was worried that my child’s waist would be broken...
…
Yan Yu led people over.
Not to mention how strange the villagers of the militia were. They were given hot soup with meat in it before they were done with it?!
As soon as I walked by, I met some villagers who were not surprised by her.
But the people who came from the quarry, no matter men, women, old or young, really looked at her like she was looking at a Western scene, their eyes full of curiosity.
They thought they were looking at each other in a subtle way, but... there were so many people that Yan Yu couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.
She didn't feel better until she stood next to her uncle.
Hahahaha! The uncle sucked more light than she did.
The big guy greeted him with a charming look.
Yan Huaiwen glanced around.
Ask her in a low voice: "Are they all from the quarry?"
Yan Yu nodded: "Uncle, don't you think there are too many people? The quarry can't start work right now, and the manager is eager to send us all the people."
Yan Huaiwen chuckled: "He sent someone here, and we will continue."
"Uncle, will everything be okay?" Yan Yu was still a little worried. After all, the current scale seemed a bit big.
Compared with the quarry, Xiaoan Village is more like a place of exile for criminals.
"When the weather gets warmer, it's time to continue repairing the high walls in the village..." Yan Huaiwen said calmly.
When he was exiled to Guanzhou, he didn't say he had to be exiled to the quarry.
Smashing rocks and moving rocks...Moving rocks to build high walls...
Almost the same.
There will only be more people exiled in the future. As long as people don't die, there will be an explanation.
"It's best to fill in a secondment document and wait until I get back to write it, and you can pick it up yourself." Yan Huaiwen was always thorough in his work.
Speaking of documents, Yan Yu suddenly remembered.
"Uncle, have the procedures for the Kang family been completed? Dad asked me to ask yesterday."
"It's ready." Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan Yu took a breath and said with a smile: "That's good, it will save Uncle Kang from worrying every day."
Yan Huaiwen knew that he was an official after all, but Kang Er was careless and did not think of this hidden danger at all.
Looking at the position of the three pots, Yan Huaiwen said: "Come with me."
With people from Xiaoan Village taking the lead, the queues for soup were very orderly and he could leave for a while.
"Your father doesn't plan to come?" Yan Huaiwen and Yan Yu stopped near the village middle school.
Yan Yu then told him his plan.
Yan Huaiwen watched her eyes flicker for a while, then became calm again, and gave a soft hum, accepting this plan with an urgent schedule.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Yan Huaiwen looked at the school shrouded in ice and asked softly.
"Uncle, you want to see how everyone is doing?" Yan Yu guessed casually.
She remembered that her uncle had said before that if he wanted to have more promising children in the village, studying was not the only way, but it was the cornerstone of everything in the future.
Yan Huaiwen shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The Kang family's father and son settled in Xiao'an Village as exiles. Your father and I are handling all matters. Now that it has been settled, I must inform you..."
Showing favor? Sort of.
Although Mr. Kang has not pursued an official career, he is a rare understanding person.
Kang Da followed Tianyou and did his best.
Kang Er is less knowledgeable, but he is actually a kind-hearted person, and he just obeys his words, so it seems to be useful so far.
The smartest thing about Mr. Kang was to marry the Qi family. Not only did he gain a firm foothold in Xiao'an Village, but the relationship between the families also became closer.
He has no prejudice against prisoners.
Looking around the court, there are a few that are clean.
Guanzhou...Huju...is short of people!
Rather than letting them go back to their hometown and live a lonely life, it is better to stay in Guanzhou and Xiaoan Village...
The Kang family is a good example.
He showed off his wings to see if these people were willing to be sheltered under him.
…
When Yan Yu led people into the mountain, he was still thinking about what just happened in the school.
Her uncle, in front of several other teachers, handed the document to Mr. Kang for careful reading.
Obviously he came prepared.
When the piece of paper was spread out on the table and Mr. Kang couldn't help but read it out word by word, Yan Yu keenly noticed that the people next to him were breathing rapidly!
Along with the paperwork, there is also the Kang family's house deed.
Xiao'an Village came here to escape famine. It has been farming for less than three years, and the land deed cannot be obtained. Every family in the village has obtained a house deed.
When Mr. Kang put away the house deed, his hands were trembling. With this piece of paper, it felt like he had a root.
Yan Yu felt that she had learned something again.
The uncle didn't even need to say anything, he just took out the documents and the house deed. Mr. Kang was inexplicably grateful, and the envious looks around him seemed more substantial.
What Yan Yu thought was that if it had been her or her father, the effect would have been much worse.
It's indeed a bit much for them as father and daughter.
Don't tell me, my uncle is cold and taciturn, but when he speaks a few sentences, he is really full of energy!
…
"The broth just now was so delicious. Xiao'an Village is really there. It said it was broth, but meat was actually put in it. It was not bone soup..."
Yan Yuxin said that when life in our village was tight, why didn't we get through it? Isn't this how life is now? Let's look at what you look like now. You are all dry and serious, so you should take good care of yourself.
If we want to run this militia successfully, we need strong warriors!
"It says it will be available tomorrow, do you think it's true?"
"What I heard is that if you can really pick meat from the mountains, you will have it when you come back..."
"I'm afraid you heard it wrong. Drinking twice a day? It's too late!"
"It's true!" A crisp voice interrupted.
The villagers at the back of the team looked over and saw that it was a boy from Xiaoan Village.
This boy is not ordinary. They heard the people in Xiaoan Village in front call him "Xiao Er".
This militia group of theirs is all made up of strong men. Well, the people in Xiaoan Village are even stronger. I don’t know why this little Douding came with them.
Are the adults at home also relieved?
"Your name is Xiaoer, right? Is your family related to Yan Hushu?"
Yan Huaiwen was in charge of the government office house in Huju. After the Northern Rong invaders came, the government office took a series of measures to help them get through the most difficult time. They went to the government office to make settlements and to redeem grain in the barn... If nothing else, they helped the government office.
Everyone on the errands, big and small, recognized them all.
Yan Yu often ran to the government office, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone saw him.
"That's my uncle!" There's nothing to hide.
"Hey, you, you are the young master of the Yanhu calligraphy family, why did you come to the mountains to suffer?"
Yan Yu widened his eyes and asked them: "Do you think going into the mountains is a punishment?"
"That's not good. It's so cold today. It can freeze someone to death! It's even colder in the mountains!"
"No, the wild animals in the mountains are all frozen to death. What do we have? They still have hair, and we don't have any..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The person who spoke was grabbed by the person next to him.
How silly! You say everything without even looking at whose child it is.
Yan Yu: "People in our village can't compete for a spot. When we go back today, if you really don't want to come again, just talk to people in our village privately, and anyone you can find will be willing to take your place."
She was telling the truth, not to mention it was a waste of money, even if she paid these people a few bucks, the people of Xiao'an Village would be willing to do it.
The Huju government issued a strict order that no one except the militia was allowed to enter the mountain.
These people fell silent.
Yan Yu didn't care, but talked to them warmly.
From Yan Xiaoer's words, these villagers learned that the training of the militia has not yet been decided, but it is certain that there will be a bowl of hot soup before and after entering the mountain.
It is said that it was decided by Yan Hushu's younger brother named Yan Er.
Worried that they will catch cold and get sick.
This meat is from the Yan family for the time being, and will be supplemented after they collect wild animals from the mountains.
These wild animals they picked up cannot be in their own hands right away.
The meat has to be processed, skinned and deboned.
It was Yan Er who gave the idea, saying that they were afraid that there would be no movement for several days after they came out, and the family would be worried about how many wild animals they picked up from the mountains that day. If Xiaoan Village had any frozen meat packed away, they would send it to their village.
These villagers immediately had a huge crush on Yan Hushu’s younger brother Yan Er!
The communication between the two parties was also much cordial.
"Xiao Er, where is your father? Which one is he? Some of us may have seen him, and those who haven't seen him may recognize him." What a good person!
"My father is trying to get food for us in Yongning." Yan Yu opened her mouth and was lifted up by her father again.
Everyone is in awe!
This is not a lie.
For the Guanzhou cold disaster, disaster relief is not limited to Yongning.
It's good to have a part-time job. Yan Yu is well-informed. He heard this morning that he was going to transport grain to various cities.
Yan Yu planned to go back to the general accounting office in the afternoon and tell them that Huju didn't need to deliver the food, they could pick it up themselves.
How can outsiders come to luck without the dedication of their own people.
They feel distressed when the grain leaks out. If you like the book-traveling life of the Xianyu family, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) The book-traveling life of the Xianyu family is the fastest updated on the Internet.
