289. Hope
There was a leader, so everyone lined up honestly, and the line stretched far away.
Some of them were registered and left, and some of them rushed over after getting the news, and the whole process lasted a whole day.
And Sun Shangcheng, who was appointed as a critical appointment, also stayed at the door of the official residence for a whole day, plus the small official in the official residence who was responsible for sorting out the thin records, and in the end, the two almost couldn't lift their pens.
Sun Shangcheng's father, who is also the village chief of Shihe Village, has been waiting on the sidelines, and when he is hungry, he drinks some water he brought, and he can only go back when he is hungry.
The family also asked the villagers who had returned to carry the letter.
To tell the truth, Sun Shangcheng was able to get the county town to look at him differently, which made many villagers in Shihe Village envious, but everyone was in a hurry, and they hurried back after a few compliments.
Sun Shangcheng, who had been busy all day, was stopped by the yatou before leaving, and handed him a small cloth bag.
"This is the salary that the adults gave you."
"Wages ......" To be honest, this is really a surprise, Sun Shangcheng didn't think about it at all, and hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked him again and again.
He thought that a day's work was in exchange for grain.
"Thank you, Hu Yatou, and if possible, take me to say thank you to the adults." Sun Shangcheng resisted the urge to open the cloth bag.
"You're welcome, this yatou must be brought, by the way, the lord said that he will continue to come over tomorrow."
"Hey, the students will arrive early tomorrow," Sun Shangcheng hurriedly agreed.
"It doesn't have to be like this, just arrive before the hour" Hu Hu turned back to the official residence with a slight bow, his eyes in the hurry with a hint of urgency and excitement.
It's time to receive the moon silver in a while, can you not be happy!
It's just that the moon silver has been exchanged for grain, no more than five catties of coarse grain per person, and what is even more exciting is that the adults can spit out the silver they want to buy, but it is limited to ten catties.
Even so, I am already satisfied, and it is definitely impossible for a family to eat a full stomach with more than a dozen catties of grain, but with some wild vegetables or something, it can be mixed with water and full, and it will be better for the vegetables to grow in a few days.
"Brother Cheng?" Sun Laohan, who had been waiting for his son, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son.
"Dad, look" Sun Shangcheng opened the cloth bag in his hand and handed it directly to his father, and the moment he got it in his hand, he knew that it was food.
"Rough noodles" Sun Laohan exclaimed in surprise, and then closed his mouth violently, his cloudy eyes patrolling around.
I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, and there was more than a pound in my hand, mixed with wild vegetables, which was enough for their family to eat for a few days.
Sun Laohan carefully hid the cloth bag in his arms, and he couldn't suppress his joy at the thought that he might have tomorrow.
In addition, the little food left at home should be no problem for two months, and if my son can do it for a few more days, he will be able to last for a few more days.
Without food, eating wild vegetable soup every day has no strength at all.
That is to say, their village has a large population, and there are more people who survive, and they were transferred to the mountains when the rain was able to accumulate water, and the families were well prepared and did not lack food, so they were able to persist in such a difficult environment for so long.
Even so, every day is like ice, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by hungry and crazy people, that is, their village is strong and laborious, otherwise I would have imagined that some small villages would be washed and robbed of nothing.
A year and a half was a very difficult time, and the process is indescribable, but it finally withstood wave after wave of hungry and crazy people, retreating from one mountain to another, and the process was difficult but finally survived.
As long as Sun Laohan thinks of those days on the mountain, he still can't help but have nightmares.
"Dad, let's hurry back" Sun Shangcheng looked at the sky and interrupted Sun Laohan's thoughts.
"Yes, yes, hurry back," said the two of them, walking towards their way home.
"Brother Cheng, Dad will accompany you early tomorrow morning, you must perform well when the opportunity is rare."
"Dad, my son saved."
In the hazy night, the father and son whispered and walked farther and farther away.
Qin Dagen, on the other side, returned to Shangqin Village early and told the news.
It takes a lot of work, but it's good news to get food seeds, and the village, which has been dreary and depressed these days, can finally hear a little laughter.
For this reason, Li Shi was also happy to secretly boil a pot of wild vegetable brown rice porridge in the house, although there were few rice and many vegetables, but it was also thick, and it was rare for the family to eat so comfortably for a long time.
Qin Dagen continued to wash the well with his son, their family is one of the few yards with a well, although a stone slab was used to press it heavily when leaving, but it is expected that dirty water will seep in if it is not well kept under the water for a long time, so since the second day of returning to the village, as long as he is busy, he and his son have been constantly washing, and the water in the well has been changed for the third time, and the water is already very clear.
"Alright," at the last minute of nightfall, the father and son completed the last washing of the well water.
Qin Dagen breathed a heavy sigh of relief, this was a hard work, and the daily overload of labor almost didn't tire him down.
The happiest person is the Li family who is making food.
The water problem has been completely solved, and there is finally no need to boil water repeatedly every day, boiled over and over again, otherwise I would not dare to use it at all.
Not only their family, but Qin Dagen also reminded the surviving villagers of Shangqin Village not to drink raw water, but to use boiled water for food, and the wells had to be washed and precipitated repeatedly for several days.
In the words of his son, they are all one village, one is prosperous, and one is lost, if someone is really infected with the plague, no one can escape, and it is very necessary to prepare in advance.
In fact, as long as there is an older generation alive in the family and rich life experience, there is no need to remind them at all.
It's a pity that there are very few old people who can survive this disaster.
Now that there is hope for the day, this night is another peaceful sleep.
The next day, the people who got the news got up early, and after being full of water, they couldn't wait to rush to Shanggu Town.
Unlike the numbness when going down the mountain, there is a layer of hope on everyone's faces.
Also on the road was Hua Chengtian, who set off with his son and nephews at dawn.
When I set off, I left a big mark in the place where I stayed, and I left one every time I walked, so I was afraid that I would not find the way I came, so I went further and further away from the direction.
I don't know how many mountains I've climbed, but I haven't found any salt or anything, but there are a lot of wild mushrooms and fungus in the space.
Unconsciously, the master and a few people climbed another mountain, but they still didn't find anything, but the vegetation was quite rich.
"Dad, it's time to rest" Hua Yunao wiped the sweat from her forehead and reminded her father.
It was close to noon, and they had been walking for nearly three hours, and they were a little too strong to bear, mainly because the sun was too hot, and the sweat on their bodies was not at all, and they were very thirsty.
Hua Chengtian stopped, but that gaze made Hua Yunao and his cousins speechless.
