294. A little more popularity
With the leader of Huajin, Xiao Si also followed his sister closely, and he didn't want to be hit by his sister again, of course, he followed what his sister did
Even the old man stopped sighing and joined in.
These bricks in the house cost a lot of money when they were bought, and they really can't be wasted.
After a while, the grandfather and grandson San cleaned up a lot of stones and bricks from the buried mud.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the foresight of the old man, and when he went down the mountain, he asked the big guys to bring their own hoes or shovels at home.
Dig by hand, it is estimated that you can't dig out a few bald skins.
This scene is the same as long as the descendants who come down the mountain, almost all of them are digging, digging the places that belong to their respective homes, not wanting to dig up usable things, but just wanting to dig out their own homes.
It's not too early to come to the village, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the town on two legs, and I'm not going to go today, so it's better to clean up in the village first, bury the things that shouldn't appear, and clean them out first, so as to sit in advance for the future home.
In fact, some people's homes have nothing to clean up, and the whole house is gone, and it is really true that the silt is dried and rolled vigorously with rolling stones that are pressed on the ground.
Unconsciously, night was about to fall, and the old man took the lead in stopping.
At this moment, Huajia Village has lost its previous desolation, a little more popularity, the messy roads have also been cleaned up, and the bones of animals and people are all buried on the road, as long as the house is still there, a lot of things have been dug up after a while, among which the rotten furniture is the most, and the broken bowls and tanks have been dug out one by one.
There is also the most important well, the one used by the people in the village was washed by the old man Hua with a few men, but it still needs to be washed two or three times before it can be used.
It is just a good time to take advantage of these times at the bottom of the mountain to solve the most important water first, and the villagers will not have to worry about finding edible water when they go down the mountain in the future.
At dusk, the people of Huajia Village, who had been tired all day, finally stopped what they were talking about and rested, and simply laid out the floor in their homes that could no longer be called home and prepared to deal with the night.
When they eat and go down the mountain, they all carry it on their backs, and they also solve it separately.
After avoiding his younger brother, Hua Jin took food directly from the space.
A small plate of beef in sauce, stir-fried vegetables, milky pickles, a small pot of porridge and a few cakes.
The grandfather hid in the hall with only the walls left and ate a quick evening meal.
As always, Xiao Si only cares about eating, never asks the origin of the food, and in the end, he didn't even let go of the last bit of sauce on the plate, and ate it cleanly with the dipping cake.
After eating and drinking, I lay down on the floor that my sister cleaned up and fell asleep directly.
After walking for a day on the mountain road, and doing work for an hour or two, Xiao Si was really tired, and the people on this side with straw mats on their heads immediately fell asleep.
Hua Jin originally intended to take advantage of the night to go to the town to take a look, but she didn't know that she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the straw mat.
The old man who wanted to talk to his granddaughter also lay down when he saw this, but he didn't dare to fall asleep, after all, the door blocked by a rotten wooden board had no security.
At this moment, I especially missed the dog at home, but when I thought of the oily and fat white-tailed lightning and then thought of the people who were alive after a year and a half of floods, the idea that I had just imagined instantly retreated.
People are already hungry, but his dog is strong and fat, and it is not a proper way to pull hatred when he brings it out?
I can only sleep more vigilantly, but fortunately, Huajia Village is remote, and there are generally few people coming.
Those who came were all related to each other, but now ...... Unlikely.
Thinking about things in his heart, the old man also closed his eyes, and the night became thicker.
On the other side, although it was late, there was still a long queue at the entrance of the residence.
Sun Shangcheng and another official were busy all day, one recording and the other was responsible for collecting money, Hu Yatou led people to be responsible for distributing grain, and the remaining few officials and a dozen or so officials also maintained order for the day.
It would not be enough for them to maintain order alone, so they invited 50 people who had already received grain to temporarily maintain order at the price of two meals a day and one tael of grain.
Although the pay is not much, even though it is robbed, people want this job.
And Sun Shangcheng, who was the first to get the news, also gained a wave of gratitude from the village because he got ten places in Shang'an Village, where he was located.
The other forty-five people were scattered to the surviving people in the various villages of the town according to the wishes of the adults, and almost every village would have four or five, and the order was obviously much better than before.
Qin Dagen is one of the lucky ones, the spirit is not bad, he was selected, and at the same time, there are two people in the village, and he will return to work after sending the food back on the same day.
As for the grain seeds, the matter of taking them back to farming was handed over to the daughter-in-law and several children, and even the eldest son, although he studied all the year round, was no stranger to the work in the field, and he did not do a little less when he was busy with farming.
Besides, it is at most three acres of land, and the mother is harder, and it will be planted in less than two days.
Instead of spending his whole family in the fields, he might as well come out and earn two meals and one or two grains.
He saves half a bowl of rations every time, and when he takes it back and goes wild, he can make a meal for the family, not to mention the one or two grains, which are enough for the family to eat for a day.
Where can I let go of such a good opportunity, as soon as I heard about it, I was busy with the people in the village to sign up, and fortunately I was selected.
No one in the entire mansion could be idle, and even Lord Liu, who was a county magistrate, was bothering to think about how to get more food, thinking that it was really impossible to go to the county seat in person to ask the county magistrate.
And this busy is busy to the time, except for eating something in the morning, everyone is already hungry, seeing that the crowd is still not less, there seems to be more and more trends, Hu Hu saw this decisively shouted to stop.
"It's late, those who have been recorded will be left behind, and those who have not yet registered will continue tomorrow, everyone will disperse," Hu Hu shouted.
"Official, we've been lining up for a long time, so let's be accommodating."
No one wants to go back empty-handed, and I saw that some people were taking them along with me.
"Yes, the official, the little ones are too far away, it's not easy to come here, ask the official to be accommodating."
"Ask the official to be accommodating......"
"It's not that this poor master can't be tolerated, it's actually too late, and it's not safe to walk at night, so let's go back early." As he spoke, Hu Hu waved his hand and motioned for the officials to disperse the people.
These words are not just perfunctory, it is indeed so, when is it time to go back at night but it is very dangerous to be alone, and it will be much better during the day, and some people under Lang Lang are still unwilling to tear off their layer of hypocrisy, and there is some restraint.
"Let's all go back, come early tomorrow." The officials urged.
Seeing that there is really no room for negotiation, even if they are unwilling to leave, there is no way, although they are all desperate for food, but no one is willing to offend the officials easily, of course, more dare not.
