Chapter 406 New Worker (Wan Geng)
Because of this alone, how many people want to stay.
And the relatives are gone, and the hometown is still so far away, it is better to stay.
Now that I see that there are people who are willing to take them in, they still don't want them to become slaves?
It's strange that the victims don't cry.
Cao Guanwu left them a day to consider whether to go or not, and he prepared the contract, they were unwilling to go back at any time, but he also gave them a warning that the long-term contract was also protected by the yamen, and if they violated the contract or did something harmful, their yamen had a way to punish them, so that they would be worse off than dead.
If you don't believe it, just try.
All that should be said has been said, and the rest naturally depends on their own creation.
But on the second day, they all signed the long-term contract very neatly and set off with Cao Guanwu.
In this way, it appeared at the door of Yuanman's house, and it also attracted a large group of villagers to watch.
However, because Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian were wearing official uniforms and carrying swords, they had a deterrent effect, so the villagers were watching from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
Cao Guanwu naturally did it on purpose, and after glancing at the bustling villagers behind him, he smiled and let Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Man pick the candidates, although the Yuan family trusted him, but he always had to let the family choose again, for fear that the Yuan family would not agree.
The Yuan family believed in them, and Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian naturally respected the Yuan family's ideas more.
Just let them choose with confidence, what they don't fancy is their creation.
Yuan Dashuo and his wife and Yuan Man looked around and around, but actually felt that there was nothing wrong to pick.
So he smiled and nodded and said that everything was good, and it was okay, and the victims who were beating the drums in their hearts were all relieved, and they were all happy.
Although they haven't been together for a long time, they also have feelings.
Now I saw that I was all wanted, and I finally didn't have to experience someone to leave again.
Therefore, the victims of the disaster quietly wiped their tears, and they were all honest farmers, who had the courage to move south because they wanted to survive.
Now that I have a place to stay, I am still a good person, so I am naturally happy.
Yuan Dashuo then led them in, and then explained that Zhong Feng and Ximei, who were waiting inside, led people to the workers' yard to settle down first.
At least wash your hands and face first, and then get them something to eat in batches.
There are so many people, not to mention the dishes and chopsticks, and even the accommodation is not enough, so it needs to be arranged separately.
But this matter will be discussed later, and now the long-term contract has been completed.
The victims had already pressed their fingerprints, so only Yuan Dashuo's signature and handprints were missing.
When Yuan Dashuo and his wife followed Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian to handle the contracts of disaster victims, Yuan Man followed Zhongfeng Ximei and led a group of people to line up towards the workers' courtyard.
Although the victims were curious, they all bowed their heads and followed the people in front of them, not daring to look around.
It's very cautious.
Yuan Man followed behind him and continued to look at them, feeling that he was still very satisfied.
Cao Guanwu's eyes are really good, but think about it, if it is really a disaster victim who has committed a big crime, he may be in prison at this time, where is it worth Cao Guanwu and Gao Tian to seek a way out for them, they must be good talents.
There are a total of thirty-two people in this batch, only seven of them are women, and the remaining twenty-five are all men in their teens and twenties.
Although it is long black, it can still be seen whether there are wrinkles, most of them are young people, and they are really survival of the fittest, and those who are poor in age or in good health can't hold this side.
After Yuan Man checked again and found no strange people, he trotted to lead the way, and then led them to line up, and then went to the workers' house to wash.
Although there are officials to watch over them for a while, they are also gathered together, where there is time to pay attention to these, it is good to give them something to eat to maintain their basic life, and the yamen has been really busy recently, where can I take care of them.
Therefore, the health situation is really not good, with a sour smell of sweat and various odors.
Yuan Man tried to hold his breath the whole time.
Moreover, there were so many people, and the water in the well was not enough to wash, so Gao Tian chased after him and handed over two large bags of old clothes collected by the officials, saying that it was for these victims.
Zhong Feng simply led a group of twenty-five men to take a bath on the nearby river.
Prunes took the rest of the women and little girls to wash in the workers' yard.
Fortunately, they are considerate in Gaotian, and they even raised donations of old clothes, which are not too warm.
Otherwise, the clothes of these men, even if they gather all the old clothes of Zhongfeng Qiao Mu and all of them, it will not be enough for them to wear, and it would be good to have a replacement for the time being, and the new clothes or something will be rushed out after a while.
There are also clothes from the woman's house and the girl's house, which are probably donated by the daughter-in-law of the servant's family.
Obviously, the victims didn't know about this, and the two major burdens they carried were actually their clothes, and they were immediately more grateful to the officials in the yamen.
The men all lined up and left, and the remaining five women and two girls were a little restrained, but Ximei also understood the thoughts of these people, and must be as worried as she was at the beginning, so she kept smiling and comforting them.
Then mix them with some hot water and let them take turns to go into the bathroom to wash.
The women had never seen such a luxury, they could actually bathe with water, they were shy and awkward, and they didn't even know how to wash it, so Xi Mei simply took it to teach.
Yuan Man was surprised that they couldn't even take a bath, and then looked at the two little girls who were more embarrassed over there, the two little girls were much taller than her, and they were even more shy when they lacked water in the north and had hardly taken a bath, so they naturally didn't dare to follow Ximei and those women into the bath.
Yuan Man looked at them curiously, and then asked the little girl her mother had just pulled and asked, "My name is Yuan Man, what is your name?" ”
The words here are all universal, except for the accent, which is a little different, but the communication is fine.
So when the little girl plucked up the courage to explain in a tone that her name was Huo Jia, Yuan Man nodded to show that he understood, and asked another shy little girl, and then learned that her name was Gong Dongling, and her name was very good.
In order to make them relax, Yuan Man also talked to them about the meaning of their names.
Gong Dongling said that her name was the name of a plant on their side.
Yuan Man said he understood.
Huo Jiayi also said that it was because the village chief on her side thought that the words that sounded good were put together and named it.
Yuan Man is even more understanding.
The names here are simple and crude, just choose one that is easy to remember, what flowers, plants, stones, wood, pillars or something, almost every generation has called these.
These two girls are actually lucky, and they are all good to be named at will.
Yuan Man said that her name is homophonic, and her father and mother want her to be complete.
