Old Man Qi had already told everyone that Old Qi's family was going to be divided before the lottery was drawn.
The Lao Qi family members themselves had no objections, and naturally the villagers had nothing to say.
Therefore, every representative of Lao Qi's family went to draw the lottery. There was a lucky baby in the big room, which seemed to confirm that Qi Baoer was lucky, so she was directly drawn to the master bedroom in the main courtyard.
Xinli Zhengqi took a look at Kaishan, waved his hand and made a direct decision: Lao Qi's family and Song Qi Ye Yan's family, you simply live in the main courtyard together.
It just so happened that there were eight rooms in the main courtyard plus guest rooms. Qi Kaishan had selfish motives for Qi Bao'er, and also wanted to take more care of Lao Qi's family. He also felt that Lao Qi's family should live together in the best place, but he also
Fair enough.
Lao Qi's family was divided into households, but Old Qi and his wife could only count themselves as one household with the big house, so there were four households. Adding the other four households, there were exactly eight houses.
This means that the Lao Qi family and the Song Qi and Ye Yan families can live their own lives behind closed doors in this courtyard.
They are the only ones who can close the door and not interfere with others.
Because in the entire third-entry courtyard, only the main courtyard located in the second-entry courtyard is separated by a wall and separated from the others, while other places have this pattern of a courtyard in the middle of the east wing and west wing.
No one could say anything about the fact that the master bedroom was the main room of Lao Qi's family. The allocation of other rooms was also decided by drawing lots.
There were a lot of people in the big house, and although the master bedroom was larger, it only had one room. Old man Qi and his wife decided to live in the same room with Qi Kangtai for the time being.
Qi Bao'er helped his fourth uncle draw the side bedroom on the left side next to the master bedroom, Yan Gui'an drew the study room on the right side of the master bedroom, and the others all drew the servant's room on the left. There was not much difference.
There is a quite large garden in the main courtyard. It may be because it has been unoccupied and uncared for for so long. It is so bright that there is nothing there. That is, you can see where the flowers and plants are planted and where there are roads and paved roads.
What about pebbles?
Mrs. Tian has no plans to plant flowers and plants in the garden. Who has the spare time at this time?
But don't waste these places, so I asked Qi Kangfu and others to dig the soil and make earthen stoves on the spot.
I don’t know if the excitement of being able to settle down had no place to vent. Not only the two strong men Qi Kangfu and Yan Gui’an, but also the old guys Song Shuming and Qi Yuanwai were also busy, and it only took more than an hour.
, and asked them to make four earthen stoves.
It’s just that the appearance of the stove is not that good, and most people can’t stand the smoke that comes up after lighting the fire. Fortunately, it doesn’t last long, and if it is slightly modified and the smoke is not so big, it will be okay.
There are two large stoves, which are more suitable for boiling water and steaming steamed buns. One is slightly smaller and suitable for stir-frying. The more sophisticated one is the masterpiece of Song Shuming and Ye Yuanwai, the father and son duo. They can be used for making soups, decoctions and other things.
By the time the men could retreat, it was time for the women to go to work and cook dinner. All the men, regardless of their age, had become mud monkeys. Even Song Shuming, a man who maintained an elegant demeanor during the escape, had a lot of mud stuck to his face and hair.
"You are really, no matter how old you are, you are still playing with mud and you are not embarrassed." Qi Yue patted the dried mud for him with a handkerchief.
Song Shuming smiled so hard that his big white teeth appeared, "Mrs. made me laugh."
"How can I laugh at you? Today is indeed worthy of happiness."
"Yes, it's worth being happy about."

Qi Kang'an squatted down in front of his daughter who was sitting in front of the stone table drying her hair with her chin in her hands, "Bao, what's wrong with you? Why does Dad feel that you are not happy?"
Although his daughter was usually quiet, he found that after entering the village, she was unusually quiet.
"Is there something wrong with the village?" He looked around with wandering eyes and sighed softly after confirming that his father was not there.
Qi Baoer glared at his biological father with dead eyes, "Dad, don't you feel anything is wrong?"
Qi Kang'an,,Qi Kang'an has long had the feeling that something was wrong, but one thing happened after another, and he still hasn't figured out what is wrong.
It's a bit hard to pronounce, but in short, I feel uneasy and feel that I have done something wrong.
"Where is it, treasure? Is there something wrong with this village?"
Qi Bao'er doesn't want to bully her biological father, but...
He took out an apple and handed it to his father, then took one for himself and took a sip, "Dad, the head of the Xing Yamen said that everyone in this village has moved away, right?"
"Yup."
Qi Kang'an also took a big bite without being polite.
Originally, the ancient table and stone stools were in the garden. My mother wanted to use that piece as a kitchen and build a dining area on the other side, so they moved the stone table to the corner.
Next to them were firewood chopped in the afternoon, stacked about two meters high, which just separated them from the outside.
They sat and squatted here, and there was a lot of excitement outside while cooking dinner. On the other side, the men were setting up a simple canteen, and they were talking to each other. If you didn't go around the firewood pile intentionally, you wouldn't notice the father and daughter here.
.
Qi Baoer asked again: "Xing Yatou said that the people who moved all moved to nearby villages, right?"
"Seems to be."
"Dad, don't you think it's strange? What kind of things would cause people to move their entire village, but only to a nearby village?"
Without waiting for Qi Kangan's answer, Qi Bao'er continued: "There is a problem with this village. No matter what the problem is, the people who originally lived in the village feel that they have to play together if they continue to live in it.
Dad, if we hadn't been in trouble due to war, would we have left as a whole village?
Let’s not talk about us, let’s talk about Leijiatun. I heard from my father that the poor people can only enter and exit through a small mountain road that cannot even be walked by horses. There are not many fields that can be used for planting in the village. The main source of livelihood is the mountain.
The prey was hunted there, but because it was too remote and inconvenient to enter and exit, the people who collected the prey were very willing to lower the price.
In this situation, Dad, not many people from Leijiatun are running out?
Besides, if you run out but don’t go far, doesn’t it mean that this village is the only one with the problem?”
People at this time still attached great importance to the word root. No matter how hard it was, they would never leave their hometown unless necessary. Even if they left due to some unavoidable reasons, they would still go back before passing away.
This is called fallen leaves returning to their roots.
Qi Kangan was completely stunned.
At first he felt something was wrong, but the excitement of finally being able to settle down dissipated the strange feeling. At that time, his mind was almost blank and he could not think. He basically listened to whatever the clerk said.
.
Now I am reminded by my daughter...
Qi Kang'an could no longer bite the apple. He looked at his daughter blankly and said, "Bao, did something bad happen in this village?"
Qi Bao'er also wanted to trick his silly father to make him feel better, but how could he?
Pointing to the sky, he took another bite of the apple and said vaguely: "Dad, the whole village is covered with dark clouds. There are unjust souls here, and they are very fierce."
The apple fell from the hand and hit the ground, with a faint ash bouncing around, "Treasure..."
Dad is scared.
Dad is dead.
Your father will never let him go.
Silly dad looks so pitiful as if his soul has already left his body. It's so pitiful that Qi Bao'er couldn't even take a bite of the apple.
"Dad, please be more careful. We are just a group of refugees. It's not bad to be forced into other people's villages and let others take care of us.
Give you the advantage of being in an independent village and still being older.
Dad, what do you think?
How can there be so many beautiful things in this world?"
