The lives of refugees resettled outside the city of Qing'an have changed dramatically.

At first, it was just about reclaiming land to recruit workers and subsidizing food rations for everyone.

One person is given 30 catties of food a month, and it is said that it is to subsidize one person's rations.

This amount is not to say that one person eats for a month, but in this disaster year, it is enough for a family to eat for a month.

Zhang Hu's family was one of the first farmers to apply for land reclamation. Zhang Hu's family came with the people of Zhangjia Village, and there was a young man in the family, including a 70-year-old mother, a weak and sick wife, an infant daughter, and a skinny eight-year-old child. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the burden of a family of five is getting heavier and heavier, and the rice porridge is getting thinner and thinner.

When he was desperate, news of recruiting workers came from the north of the city, saying that he was reclaiming land and returning grain.

30 catties of food for one person a month, and priority treatment for relatives when they are sick, is simply a great thing.

It turned out that the village chief of Zhangjia Village undertook the errand of recording and recruiting workers, and became the little steward of this work, and got a string of copper coins. This is something that these displaced refugees could not have imagined.

Zhang Hu was helpless, and went with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, after only five days of work, half a month's food was prepaid, and the family finally had a full meal. The little steward also said that if the above instructed that if this month is good, everyone will be fed next month, and maybe there will be green vegetables to eat.

Zhang Hu walked like stepping on cotton these days, looking at his mother, wife and children, there was an unprecedented light in their eyes, and he sighed in his heart that he was on the right track.

"Huzi, you're done with your work." Aunt Li from Zhangjia Village lived next door to his tent, standing there as if she had been waiting for a long time, her cold hands and feet trembled, but she still pretended to say hello as if nothing happened, "You are still not hiring, can my calf enter?" ”

Aunt Li's Zhang Xiaoniu is a lone seedling, and she was afraid that this recruitment would be a deception to be a black coolie, and she was forced to work every day, so she didn't dare to go.

Zhang Hu paused, there were really a lot of people who asked him this question recently, "Aunt Li, the steward said that it is not that he doesn't want to be hired, but that there is not enough food." ”

When Aunt Li heard this, she knelt on the ground and cried, "What can I do, we are also hungry......

"Aunt Li, Aunt Li, don't cry, I heard that the new city lord of Qing'an City has been arranged, and there will be new work to be done in a few days, and the new land will be reclaimed, and the steward quietly told me that the work in the back is not only young and middle-aged, but also has women's families, and our chief steward is now a powerful person, saying that the city lord Mu will let us all live."

Aunt Li didn't have the strength to cry, but when she heard this, she touched her tears and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Hu, "Really? ”

Zhang Hu lowered his voice and hurriedly said, "It's true, I still see what the chief steward gave to our village chief today." ”

Aunt Li didn't make a fuss anymore, and got up with a bone, "Our village chief is now a little steward, and I have helped his mother-in-law before, so I'll go to investigate." ”

"Aunt Li, don't go, now everyone is staring at the work, as soon as you look for the village chief, it will inevitably leak the news, if this word spreads, it will be your turn to be your calf?" Aunt Li's heart jumped, she nodded hurriedly and rubbed her hands, "You're right, I'll wait, can you borrow some more food?" ”

Zhang Hu's daughter-in-law came out of the tent, "No, no, my family can't eat enough old snacks, and my daughter is hanging on a few mouthfuls of rice soup!" ”

When Aunt Li saw Zhang Hu's daughter-in-law come out, she retracted into the tent and didn't dare to provoke again.

"What do you do with her? When you were about to sign up, she said a lot of cool things, saying that you wouldn't be able to come back once you went. ”

Zhang Hu was tired, and pushed his daughter-in-law into the tent.

The tent was full of families, but it was not too warm and leaking everywhere. Fortunately, they have rice and food in their pots, and this day is much better than others.

"This tent is leaking everywhere, and my clothes still have to be torn, otherwise I won't be able to make up for them." Zhang Hu's daughter-in-law picked up the child and said with a slight red corner of her eyes.

"Bear with me, I heard that the city is going to build us a house, and the chief steward has been choosing a site recently."

Such fantastical words, Zhang Hu said, in fact, he didn't believe it, seeing that the family was not angry, and said: "I heard that the grain I have planted in the past few days is a fairy product, if the harvest is good, one mu is said to be able to produce 3,000 catties!" ”

"How much!" The whole family screamed.
