Chapter 559 The militia first entered the mountain (two chapters in one)
"Aunt Song, is the soup ready?" Yan Yu ran towards the steaming cauldron.
"Okay, okay!" The eldest girl of the Song family quickly set the wooden bowl aside.
There are only a dozen or so in total, and there are no more at home.
"Xiao Er, invite someone to come." She said while stirring the pot.
In addition to the pot in front of her, there are two stoves next to it. The lady who cooks the soup can't help but take a peek at the second young master of Yan's family in Xiao'an Village.
Yan Xiaoer is even more special. As long as people in the village call "Xiaoer" without adding a surname, it means him, and no one else.
Yan Yu felt their eyes, turned her head, and smiled at them.
"Aunt Song, have you tasted it? How does it taste?" Yan Yu didn't rush to call out, wanting to know how the soup was boiled.
There is no way, these villagers who came today, since they went out in the cold winter, they probably wore the thickest and most decent clothes at home, but compared with the villagers of Xiao'an Village, they still seemed a bit thin.
Yan Yu thought about making a few pots of hot soup, and put some of her family's spicy meat strips in it. The fire toad meat strips are full of heat, full of hotness, don't need too much, a little is enough, and then cover it with ginger, so it won't be so conspicuous.
Every family in the village has some **** stored, and it can be saved by cooking together, so when Yan Yu mentioned it, the villagers agreed.
Grandpa Song took the matter away and asked several girls in his family to take turns to do it.
The reason why they don't do it together, but take turns, is also to arrange a job for the ladies who come to the quarry.
"I just took a sip, and it's not bad, my whole body is warm." The eldest girl of the Song family said with a smile.
"Then, Aunt Song, don't be reluctant to wait for the meeting. Serve them all. This militia was organized by my uncle. We got cold sick on the first day we came here. Uh... that's not good." Yan Yu said seriously.
"We know the severity, my father has told me several times at home."
"That's fine, I'll call someone!"
Yan Yu ran away again.
Lonely, not even a helper to pass the message.
That's because all the children in the village were detained in the school.
The elders in the village have been reminding everyone that the militia is a big deal, so don't let the scoundrels from various families come out to make trouble.
These boys are very difficult to manage now, they have clamored to go into the mountain several times.
Going into any mountain, you don’t even look at your head, you step on it, and then bury your little head in the snow...
What? Xiao Er has entered the mountain?
Brat! Do you have the intelligence of Xiaoer, or the strength of Xiaoer, how can you compare with Xiaoer? !
…
Yan Laoer spent money to hire people. At the beginning, the stewards of the quarry were more restrained. All the people who came here were young and old.
The people in Xiao'an Village were also kind, and they all came here.
Yan Yu has been busy recently, so she hasn't been around the village much, otherwise she will find that there are a dozen or so houses full of people...
It’s not that the village cannot be resettled, but that the village elders agree that this saves charcoal.
Probably a kang head is crowded next to each other. The men, women and children in the quarry get along very well with the people of Xiao'an Village.
These former officials and wives are all hardworking, friendly and polite.
Several of them were said to be well-educated, and were recommended by Mr. Kang to teach in the school in the village.
The men worked with the men in Xiao’an Village, repairing igloos, piling snow bags, skinning and deboning the picked wild animals, riding sledges to Huju and Gufeng to collect firewood, and going to the charcoal field to help burn charcoal...
Xiaoan Village has a lot of work, and they can be busy from morning to night without touching the ground.
Women are relatively free, so they follow the ladies of each family to do some light work.
In addition to cleaning the house and cooking, they recently learned to grow vegetables in the house with the women in the village.
Green shallots, tender cabbage, and chopped leeks... There are two or three houses that are still growing rare cucumbers. The treasures are not good, and I can’t wait to see them three times a day.
The most amazing thing is the mushroom that grows in the bag of broken wood, rags, small stones and charcoal.
We had to set aside a special room, covered the windows and doors with cloth, set fire to the wall, and set up water basins...
The mushrooms are growing!
There is only one mushroom house in Xiaoan Village, the Yan family.
The lady Rong from the Yan family will come back every other day, mainly to see this mushroom house.
She doesn't mind teaching others, but this lady Rong can't speak and can only rely on gestures. How much she can understand depends entirely on the individual.
There are also many children sent to the quarry.
It is especially a headache for the village.
I don’t know what to do with them. Let them be idle, but I don’t think it’s appropriate. No matter how old Yan was hired, no matter how big or small they are, they have to spend copper coins.
The village elders discussed and discussed, and thought of a job for them, watching the fire.
Charcoal has a higher temperature than firewood and is more resistant to burning, but everyone knows that the price of charcoal has risen so much, so they are reluctant to add charcoal to the kang hole twice at night to keep it warm all night. During the day, everyone still burns more firewood.
At the beginning, these children were not very good at it, and they all got confused, but no one is born to do it, as long as they are willing to learn, there is nothing they can't do.
The people in the village didn't take it seriously at all. If it doesn't work once, it will be repeated twice, and if it fails twice, it will be repeated three times. Whose children don't come here like this.
Within two or three days, these children got started.
People in Xiao’an Village began to be more defensive, and later found that these children were well-educated, there was no such thing as petty theft, and they were also very polite. When they were cooking at home, they stuffed them with steamed buns and pancakes.
…
Yan Yu led the people over.
Don’t mention how strange the villagers of the militia are, why not give them hot soup first, with meat in it? !
Once I walked by, it was okay to meet a villager, and I was not surprised by her.
But people from the quarry, no matter men, women, young or old, really looked at her as if they were watching a Western scene, their eyes were full of curiosity.
They thought they were cryptic, but... there were so many people that Yan Yu couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.
She felt better when she stood beside her uncle.
Ha ha ha ha! Uncle is more attractive than her.
The big guy greeted him with ChuaChua's eyes.
Yan Huaiwen glanced around.
asked her in a low voice: "They all come from the quarry?"
Yan Yu nodded: "Uncle, do you think there are too many people? The quarry can't start work now, and the steward can't wait to send everyone here."
Yan Huaiwen chuckled: "He sent someone here, let's continue."
"Uncle, is there anything wrong?" Yan Yu was still a little worried, after all, the current scale seems a bit big.
Compared with the quarry, Xiao'an Village is more like a place where criminals... are exiled.
"When the weather gets warmer, the high walls in the village should continue to be repaired..." Yan Huaiwen said lightly.
Exiled to Guanzhou, did not say that he must be exiled to the quarry.
Break stones and move stones... move stones and build walls...
Almost the same.
In the future, there will only be more people exiled. As long as people don't die, there will be an explanation.
"It's better to make up a secondment document. When I go back to write it, you can pick it up yourself." Yan Huaiwen has always been considerate in his work.
Speaking of documents, Yan Yu remembered.
"Uncle, have the procedures for the Kang family been completed? Dad asked me to ask yesterday."
"It's already done." Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan Yu exhaled, said with a smile: "That's good, so that Uncle Kang won't worry about it every day."
Yan Huaiwen thought that he was an official after all, so Kang Er was heartless, and he didn't think of this hidden danger at all.
There is a person from Xiao'an Village taking the lead, and the people queuing up to drink soup are very orderly, so he can leave for a while.
"Your father is not planning to come?" Yan Huaiwen and Yan Yu stopped near the village school.
Yan Yu then told her plan.
Yan Huaiwen watched her eyes flicker for a while, then calmed down again, and hummed lightly, accepting the urgent schedule.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Yan Huaiwen asked softly, looking at the school covered in ice.
"Uncle wants to see how the big guy is doing?" Yan Yu guessed casually.
She remembered that her uncle said before that if she wanted to have more promising children in the village, reading was not the only way, but the cornerstone of everything in the future.
Yan Huaiwen shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "Father and son of the Kang family settled in Xiao'an Village as exiles, and your father and I handled all matters. Now that it has been settled, we must tell you one or two..."
Shin? So be it.
Although Mr. Kang has not taken an official career, he is a rare understanding person.
Kang Da followed Tianyou to do his best.
Kang Er's knowledge is poor, but he is actually a good-natured person, and he is easy to follow what he says, so far, it is still useful.
The smartest thing about Mr. Kang is that he married the Qi family. Not only has he gained a firm foothold in Xiao'an Village, but the relationship between the several families has also become closer.
He has no prejudice against the prisoner.
Looking at the court hall, several of them are clean.
Guanzhou...Huju...Lack of people!
Instead of letting them go back to their hometown and live a lonely life, it’s better to stay in Guanzhou, Xiao’an Village...
The Kang family is a good example.
He, spread his wings, just to see if these people are willing to be sheltered.
…
When Yan Yu led people into the mountain, she was still thinking about what happened in the school just now.
Her uncle, in front of several other teachers, handed over the document to Mr. Kang for a closer look.
Obviously came prepared.
When the piece of paper was displayed on the table, and Mr. Kang couldn't help but read it word by word, Yan Yu keenly noticed that the people next to him were short of breath!
It was completed together with the paperwork, and the Kang family's deed.
Xiao’an Village came here after fleeing the famine. It has been cultivated for less than three years, and the land deeds cannot be obtained. Every family in the village has a house deed.
When Mr. Kang put away the deed, his hands were trembling. With this piece of paper, it was as if he had roots.
Yan Yu felt that she had learned again.
Uncle didn't even need to say anything, just took out the paperwork and house deed, Mr. Kang was inexplicably grateful, and the envious eyes around him seemed to have substance.
What Yan Yu thought was that if it was her or her father, the effect would definitely be much worse.
If there are two of them, father and daughter, it is indeed a bit much.
Don't say it, the uncle is reticent, say a few words, it's really aura!
…
"The broth just now was really delicious. Xiao'an Village is real. It said it was broth, but it really put meat in it, not bone broth..."
Yan Yuxin said that when the life in our village was tight, why didn’t we get through it? Isn’t this life okay now? Let’s talk about how you are now, all of you are dry, and you have to take good care of them.
If we want to run this militia well, what we need are strong and strong fighters!
"It is said that there will be tomorrow, do you think it can be true?"
"What I heard is that if you can really pick meat from the mountains, you will have..."
"I'm afraid you heard it wrong, drink twice a day? Life is over!"
"It's true!" A crisp voice cut in.
The villagers at the back of the line looked over, and it was a boy from Xiao'an Village.
This kid is not ordinary, they heard the people in Xiao'an Village ahead call him "Xiaoer".
What kind of militia they are, they are all strong men, uh, the people in Xiao'an Village are stronger, just this little Douding, I don't know why they follow.
The adults in the family are also relieved?
"Your name is Xiaoer, right? Is your family related to Yan Hushu?"
Yan Huaiwen sits in Huju’s household in the government office. After the Beirong came, the government’s series of measures helped them survive the most difficult time. They went to the government to settle the settlement, and went to the barn to exchange grain.
Yan Yu often went to the government office, so it is not surprising that someone has seen it.
"That's my uncle!" There's nothing to hide.
"Hey, then you are the young master of Yanhu Calligraphy, why did you come into the mountains to suffer?"
Yan Yu stared wide-eyed and asked them: "Do you think going into the mountains is a crime?"
"That's not good, it's so cold today, people can freeze to death! It's even colder in the mountains!"
"No, the wild animals in the mountains are all frozen to death, what do we have, they still have hair, and we don't have..."
The person who spoke was pulled back by the person next to him.
Silly! Say everything without looking at whose child it is.
Yan Yu: "People in our village can't compete for a place if they want to come. When you go back today, if you really don't want to come again, you can talk to people in our village in private, and anyone you want will be willing to replace you."
She's telling the truth, don't say it's for nothing, even if she finds these people for a few pennies, the people of Xiao'an Village are willing.
Huju government officials strictly ordered that no one except the militia group be allowed to enter the mountain.
These people fell silent.
Yan Yu didn't care, instead, she talked warmly with them.
From Yan Xiaoer's mouth, these villagers know that the training of the militia has not been decided yet, but it is certain that there will be a bowl of hot soup before and after entering the mountain.
It is said that Yan Hushu's younger brother named Yan Er made the decision.
Worrying about them catching cold and getting sick.
This meat is from the Yan family for the time being, and it will be replenished after they pick up wild animals from the mountains.
These wild animals that were picked up could not immediately be in their own hands.
The meat has to be processed, such as skinning and deboning.
It was Yan Er who gave the idea, saying that they were afraid that they would go out for a few days without any movement, and their family members would worry about how many wild animals they picked from the mountains that day, and the packed frozen meat in Xiao'an Village would be sent to their village.
These villagers immediately had a huge crush on Yan Hushu's younger brother, Yan Er!
The communication between the two sides is also much cordial.
"Xiao Er, where is your father? Which one is it? Some of us may have seen it, and we will recognize those who haven't." What a good man!
"My father is trying to get food for us in Yongning." Yan Yu opened her mouth and gave her father another lift.
Big guys are in awe!
This is not a lie.
For the cold disaster in Guanzhou, disaster relief is not limited to Yongning.
It is good to have a part-time job. Yan Yu is well informed, and this morning he heard that he will be transporting food to various cities.
Yan Yu planned to talk to the general accountant when he got back in the afternoon, and they didn't need to send food to Hu Ju, they could pick it up by themselves.
When outsiders come to transport, how can their own people be dedicated.
They feel distressed when the food leaks a little.
A little earlier than the card point~
Ahahaha~ Some relatives only discovered that there is a big treasure in the house. It seems that the lively, cute and lovable image of the house is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people~mua! (*╯3╰)
Babes, let’s not worry about age, but our beloved Xiao Zhai Zhai is a young and energetic baby who will always be eighteen~o(*////▽////*)q~
