While his daughter was counting money, Yan Laoer walked into Heng'er's room.
Yan Xiangheng hurriedly welcomed the person in.
"uncle."
"Hey, you continue to clean up, I'll say a few words and then leave." Yan Laoer sat on the head of the kang and crossed one of his legs.
He looked at the layout of his eldest nephew's room.
Except for the main room, every room is similar, with a large Kang taking up half of it.
There was a large square table placed on Yan Xiangheng's kang, with all the books and ink on it. It was also the bamboo tube they used when they were fleeing the famine, which was used as a kettle. Anyway, there was no shortage of hot water in the kitchen during the day, and they could fill it up at any time.
Once the tube is back, there is no need for a kettle or a cup.
There were only a few pieces of clothing, because there were no boxes, so they were piled directly beside the kang, neatly stacked, and covered with a piece of cloth to keep out dust. The cloth was a bit small, and the few conspicuous items below were exposed.
Among them are the cotton clothes that Grandma Rong changed for everyone in the Yan family.
The cotton clothes I bought in the platform mall before were made of solid materials, and one person can take out two or three pieces.
Grandma Rong separated all the cotton and fabric and made one for each person. It fit perfectly and the sleeve joints were processed, so it was not as clumsy as before.
There are also quilts that are also separated into two pieces. The fire bed at home is only lit for a while at night. The whole house is extremely warm. There is no need for these quilts for the time being. They are also neatly stacked next to them by the eldest nephew, who also covers them.
cloth.
Yan Laoer saw it in his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
Sleeping on the kang has to be put on the agenda.
There is no place to put the children's things.
It would be better to get a bookcase and a hand towel rack. It is not easy to have your hands wet every time after wiping your face and just lay them flat on the kang and wait for them to dry.
Not very pretty.
Yan Xiangheng cleaned himself up and climbed onto the kang to sit down.
"Uncle, tell me what's going on."
"Everyone in our village got a lot of things at the big market today, especially food. The village chief just talked to me about going to Gufeng. I was thinking about going there tomorrow and going back early so as not to delay the fifteenth day of the year.
Come back for the holidays.”
People in Xiaoan Village were very happy to go to the market this time.
Not only did they earn money and exchange for food, but what made them happier was that they felt like they were slowly becoming people in this corner of Guanzhou.
The locals did not resist them and easily accepted the sudden addition of the village.
Simple folk.
Give them a sense of acceptance and belonging.
"Uncle, you just came back, why don't I go there? There is only one river. You can draw a picture for me and I can find it."
The young man wanted to share more, but the second uncle was really tired.
"I want to take you there, but we are going together." Yan Laoer explained: "I want to take you to meet the Yongning City government servants from our village last time, so that you can become familiar with them.
You don't know, but they have another errand. They are responsible for taking care of the room in Fucheng. When the exam comes, they may also be on duty to guard the inside and outside.
Let's go together and let them talk to you about the situation inside and what you should pay attention to. If you really enter the examination room, we don't need their help. We will do our best to help the head office with some small help within their scope of responsibility.
.
For example, make your room cleaner, and the things you give out for exams should be of better quality. Don't make them tattered to fool people. I heard that there is a bad room next to the toilet. They are so unlucky, so they will have nothing more to do.
Take it out, be diligent and don't be lazy, so as not to make a big smell and smoke you..."
Yan Xiangheng was extremely moved.
"Uncle, I've made you worry so much."
"What's the matter? We happened to meet each other. We rely on our true ability in the exam, but you will be more comfortable if you can do it more smoothly, right?
If you are in a good mood, you will do well in the exam."
This is Yan Laoer's own method to help candidates relax.
After leaving his eldest nephew's room, he went to the river again.
His family's raft was not the only one tied to the ferry at the river, there were five or six rafts of the same style floating on the river.
Qi Wu and his men were still tying wood...
"I asked, how many rafts do you want to build? How many people are there yet?"
Looking at this battle, it seems like people of all ages are going there?
Luo San came over and wiped the sweat from his head and face with his clothes.
"Brother Yan, not many people go here. There are not many things here, just food. I'm afraid of losing relatives and several families with children. I think this is really inappropriate. Tell me later what they are doing.
It would be outrageous to have to join in the fun at this time, there are so many patients there."
Yan Laoer:......
"How can this be done? It's not nonsense!"
Luo San chuckled, "Anyway, remember to talk about them."
He didn't want to say anything more. Why are these people making such nonsense? It's not because you took Yan Xiaoer out.
Yan Laoer hurriedly found someone to greet the families who had decided to go.
"You have an idea of what we are going to do here. The elderly and children at home are not willing to go.
In addition to food, drink and medicine, bring an ax and sickle with you. When you get there, you can build a better shack for them to live in. You can also bring many pots and basins at home. We have sent food and they can fill it themselves.
Prepare your belly, masks, gloves, and a gown for your head. For other things, don't fix those useless things.
Also, I have to say it first and pay attention to myself, so that others over there don't take care of me and let me get in.
You have to be obedient when I take you there. If you don't, don't cause trouble."
Yan Laoer and Yan Yu were able to escape from Gu Feng because they were highly vigilant and paid special attention to protecting themselves.
Taking these people there, to be honest, I couldn't let go of them.
"Don't worry, Yan Er. We all listen to you. We will do whatever you tell us to do."
"Yes, let my mother-in-law stay at home and don't bring the children to join in the fun. Haha, I have something to say with you."
Yan Laoer glared at him, saying he was a good-for-nothing, but he was not ashamed either.
"Brother Yan, I'll go with you this time." Qi Si ran over and looked at him expectantly.
"Okay, let Qi Wu go and let him have a rest. He is knocking wood every day. I feel so tired. No matter how much work I do, I can't tire him out!"
And Brother Qi, let’s all go.”
Qi Dagang came over and grinned when he heard this.
…
On the second day of the fair, more than half of the families in Xiaoan Village came to the river to see him off.
The eight rafts are all about the same width and width, and their arrangement on the river is particularly spectacular.
Yan Laoer waved to his family coolly, and his brothers helped him hold up the pole.
Qi Da easily rowed the wooden pole into the water alone. With a little effort, the raft jumped out far away.
Qi Wu excitedly shouted to his mother: "Mom, please go back quickly, don't let the wind blow."
Mrs. Qi looked over in search of the voice, her eyes unfocused, with a look of relief on her face, and shouted loudly: "Oh! Mom will come back soon!"
Qi Si took another raft, together with Cui Langzhong.
Mrs. Cui was persuaded by Yan Laoer, and the only condition was that Mr. Cui must go.
As a serious son-in-law, Mr. Cui also showed his determination to do his duty.
Yan Laoer thought for a while and took him with him.
