Chapter 34: Settling In
When Ren Zixian was "supervising" Li Langzhong in the Westinghouse to write prescriptions, the old village chief and the village elders led the people brought back by Ren Zixian into the courtyard of the Ren family.
Yao Yuzhi is in a coma, Deng Qin's is pregnant, Ren Zixian is currently only paying attention to half of the prescriptions written by Li Langzhong, no matter how much Ji Wushi and others care about the Ren family, they can't make decisions for them, in this case, even the old village chief doesn't know where to place these coffins.
Seeing this, Ren Hanyue hurriedly leaned into Ren Hantang's ear and muttered a few words.
Ren Hantang listened to it and slipped off the kang.
"Grandpa the village chief," he walked to the old village chief on his short legs, "those coffins, can you let them carry them to the martial arts training ground in the backyard?"
Although he is young, he is the only male in the Ren family's generation, and in the mortal world of this era, what he says is more valued by the elders than the opinions put forward by Ren Hanjun, who is an older sister, which is why Ren Hanyue asked him to come up with ideas.
The old village chief smiled and touched Ren Hantang's little head, "Okay, grandpa will tell them now." ”
The old man agreed so quickly, not because he spoiled Ren Hantang without principle.
In fact, in his heart, the extensive martial arts training ground in the backyard of the Ren family is also the best place to park coffins - there are really more than 30 coffins that can't be placed anywhere else!
Not to mention that nine times out of ten, Ren Zixian will build a shed and set up a mourning hall in the future.
The old village chief came out to inform them of the temporary parking place of the coffins, and the twenty young men brought back by Ren Zixian began to carry the coffins back and forth from the boat.
It was already evening, and many of the fishermen had already sailed back their boats.
The enthusiastic villagers were shocked when they saw these people carrying the coffins to Ren's house, and they didn't forget to step forward and take the initiative to help.
Ji Wushi, Wang Wenshi and others are very diligent, neat and discerning, although they can't help carry the coffin, they can help boil water, make tea, cook, cook, and wash fruits.
After a few women were busy, the twenty young men brought back by Ren Zixian and the villagers who came to help were all given hot tea and food.
Deng Qin's family also wanted to help, but her body was more than eight months pregnant, and after all, her body was inconvenient, and Ji Wu's and Wang Wen's resolutely refused to let her cook.
The villagers returned to their homes after eating, and as a token of gratitude, Ji Wu took the initiative and brought each of them a bag of persimmons and citrus from Ren's cellar.
As for the twenty young men brought back by Ren Zixian, after they washed their hands and faces, drank warm tea, and ate hot meals, they took turns to take a bath in the room where Deng Xibin and them had lived before.
And Ren Zixian, who they followed, hurriedly took a bite of food and returned to Yao Yuzhi's side to guard, even the water he drank later was brought to him by Ren Hanyue.
When it was dark, Deng Xibin returned with four dead hares, two pheasants, and a live sheep with four hooves tied.
In order to capture this ewe alive, he stayed in the mountains for a long time today, so long that he even completely missed the time to teach Ren Hantang and others to practice martial arts.
This kind of thing had happened a few times before, so everyone, including Deng Qin, didn't worry too much.
They just hoped that Deng Xibin would come back soon, and come back to help Ren Zixian, who played the statue next to Yao Yuzhi, to place the people he brought back.
Because Deng Xibin and Deng Qin's family had moved to the newly bought courtyard at the back, the east wing room closest to the courtyard gate of the Ren family was vacant, plus there was a row of blue brick and large tile houses next to the martial arts training ground in the Ren family's backyard, even if the rooms used as weapons warehouses, pantries, and indoor martial arts training grounds were removed, the Ren family could find four rest rooms for the twenty young men to live in.
With these five rooms, the twenty young men were guaranteed a place to live.
But other things, such as beds and bedding, they obviously couldn't find that much.
The Ji family is not a wealthy family, except for the bedding used by their own family, their family only has two sets of bedding for hospitality.
As for the Wang family, their family is rich enough, but they are outsiders like Yao Yuzhi and others, and on this Qushan Island, their family will not have a large number of relatives or friends to visit.
Naturally, they don't have too many idle bedding at home.
As for the bed, not to mention, who will get a few more beds to prepare if they have nothing to do?
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Deng Xibin still had no intention of coming home, so Deng Qin had no choice but to ask Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji to help them go to the town to buy urgently.
She took out two silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels and five silver ingots of ten taels from Yao Yuzhi's money box, although she didn't know if the money was enough to buy so many beds, bedding, clothes, shoes and socks, toiletries, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, fish, meat, vegetables and eggs, funeral supplies, etc., but in addition to these, their family only had less than ten taels of broken silver left, and she really couldn't take out more money to spend on Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji.
Fortunately, Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji are both shrewd and capable, she mentioned it a little, and the two of them understood her predicament, and Brother Ji also smiled and comforted her, saying that he would definitely bargain with those shopkeepers and would never buy her expensive.
Deng Qin was about to go back to the house after thanking Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji, but the two leaders of the twenty young men walked over with their heads held high with wet hair.
When Ren Zixian was still in the army, these two people were his henchmen and lieutenants, they were about the same age as Deng Xibin, and they were also orphans, a few years ago, when Ren Zixian was paralyzed and lost his strength because of drinking the added Yuci Zhuangxing wine, it was they who fought to the death with other soldiers to protect each other, and Ren Zixian was able to escape death in the chaos.
After that, it was also the two of them who took the seriously injured Ren Zixian to hide everywhere, and tried every means to extend the medical treatment for him.
It can be said that if it were not for the two of them and those soldiers who were bloodstained on the battlefield to protect Ren Zixian, Ren Zixian would never have returned to Qushan Island alive.
Although Deng Qin's family was not familiar with the two of them, he still had an impression of their names and appearances, so the moment he saw the appearance of the two of them, Deng Qin's involuntarily stopped turning around, "Gu Feng, Tang Yu?"
Gu Feng and Tang Yu bowed slightly to her, "Sister-in-law Deng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Deng Qin's eyes widened in surprise, "It's really you! You're still alive?"
Gu Feng touched his nose - Deng Qin's question was ...... He didn't even know how to answer.
Fortunately, Deng Qin's family didn't expect him and Tang Yu to answer, she said to the two with red eyes: "Great...... That's great...... Madame will be delighted...... Jasmine, Wu's mother, and Vice General Liu...... They're all dead, and you don't know how much Madame blames herself......"
