There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 224 I Will Support You

The people in Yongping Village are very diligent, especially after experiencing such a difficult escape from famine, everyone cherishes the regained stable life even more.

After the autumn harvest, each family went to the mountains to collect firewood and cut wood.

Firewood is used for heating, while logs are stacked in the backyard.

If there is a shortage of firewood, it can be used if it is chopped.

If you have enough firewood, keep it and use it when you get back to building the house, which is very convenient.

Now I need to build some wooden houses, and these logs came in handy.

There is no need for good carpentry work, and everyone has experience in building houses. In just two days, there are five more wooden houses on the open space at the entrance of the village.

The layout inside is very simple, all of them are big and common, and they are all heated kangs, which are burning on the fire at the moment.

There is no separate kitchen, but two large stoves are enough for cooking.

As for other furniture, there is no more.

What is needed can only be figured out by the people who move in.

Near noon on the third day, a carriage followed by two No. 30 people appeared on the road in Yongping Village.

Qi Qijin was leading people to build the sixth wooden house, when he heard someone greet him, he hurriedly looked towards the road and saw those people at a glance.

"It should be the county magistrate who arranged for someone to come over."

Quan Quanjin patted the sawdust on his body, and said to Qi Dafu, "Brother, you lead someone to do it first, and I will go to meet you."

"Hey, let's go!"

Qi Dafu continued sawing wood without even raising his head.

Quan Quanjin found Qi Ercai, and the two brothers greeted the team.

In front of the carriage there were several government servants riding horses, among them was Liu Qinghe.

Liu Qinghe recognized Quan Jin from a distance, hurriedly talked to the county magistrate, and then rushed to meet him.

"Brother Quan Jin, you are..."

Liu Qinghe arrived in front of the two, got off his horse, and looked at several wooden houses not far away.

Qi Qijin said with a smile: "The temporary houses built by the villagers are a bit shabby. I don't know if the county magistrate will dislike them."

"You guys are fast enough."

Liu Qinghe didn't dare to say whether the county magistrate would dislike him, and hurriedly said: "This time, we brought 23 people, and there may be dozens more in the future. It is estimated that they will arrive within two or three days."

"By the way, the county magistrate is here in person today, you two will come with me to greet you."

Liu Qinghe pulled the reins of the horse, calling for the two brothers of the Qi family to follow.

Quan Quanjin and Qi Ercai looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise.

They really didn't expect that the county magistrate would personally send someone over. They thought that at most they would send a few officials to lead the way!
Surprises are surprises, but the two of them didn't dare to delay.

Qi Qijin said to Qi Ercai: "Second brother, you go home first, let the family prepare some hot tea and food, and I will go to welcome the county magistrate."

"to make!"

Qi Ercai turned around and ran towards the village.

Just two steps away, I heard Quan Jin's advice again: "Don't let my wife cook!"

The daughter-in-law is pregnant, Quan Quanjin is very happy, but also more nervous.

Even if the two doctors said that Yi Meng was in good health, Qi Qijin couldn't be completely relieved.

If it weren't for the rush to build a house these days, Quan Qijin really wished he could watch over his wife every day.

Qi Ercai slipped and almost fell, he waved his hand to signal that he knew.

Hu Kaicheng really didn't expect Quan Quanjin to be so diligent, and even built a few wooden houses first.

Although it is rough, it is not uninhabitable.

After seeing these rooms in person, Hu Kaicheng lectured the first batch of more than 20 people brought over.

Each of the more than 20 people has a bad complexion, and it can be seen that they are poor people who have suffered a lot.

The clothes on his body were not to mention tattered, but they were also patch upon patch.

Everyone is carrying a bag or a basket on their backs, and there is not even a wooden cart.

There are mostly men, fewer women, and three or two old people.

Children can add up to three or four.

It looked like three or four people were walking together, it should be a family.

These people were all shivering, not knowing whether they were nervous or frozen.

Quan Qijin couldn't bear these people to continue to freeze outside, so he invited Hu Kaicheng to sit at home, and asked Qi Dafu and the others to arrange for these people to settle down in the house.

The kang was built after the walls around the house were determined, and now it has been burning day and night for almost two days, but it can still sleep.

The straw curtains above were temporarily woven by the women in the village. They were spread on the kang, and some things could be put on it to sleep people without being tied.

There are two large stoves in each room, and two large iron pots are placed respectively.

These iron pots were bought at the blacksmith's shop in the city, accompanied by a teacher and Liu Qinghe.

If it weren't for the county magistrate and the company of the officials, it would be absolutely impossible to get these big iron pots.

The workmanship of the big iron pot is actually not very good, the time is too short to make it so fine, at most it can be used.

All the older children from each family came to help.

I made ginger tea and put some salt and sugar in it.

This was specially ordered by Quan Quanjin.

On a cold day, a sip of it can not only warm up the body, but also replenish some energy.

The more than 20 newcomers, regardless of gender, age or age, were all moved to tears.

They thought that the village they came to this time was the same as the previous ones, and they must be particularly excluded from outsiders like them.

Before coming, they even made preparations for a group of people to sleep in the wilderness.

But now they actually have a house to live in, and ginger soup to warm up.

Moreover, these local villagers did not show any rejection towards them, instead they warmly greeted them to rest on the kang.

Such kindness made these people unable to hold back their tears.

It has been almost two years since they escaped from their hometown, and this is the first time they have seen someone who treats them so warmly.

The Qi family, Hu Kaicheng drank hot tea and ate some snacks prepared by the Qi family, and then began to talk to Quan Jin about the next arrangement.

"Quan Jin, you did a good job this time. Don't worry, these people are of good character. If someone finds fault, you can deal with it directly. As long as the person is not dead and has a tone, I will definitely I will give you justice!"

This is already very straightforward, so I almost didn't say "hit whatever you want, I will support you".

Quan Quanjin was not stupid, he naturally understood what the county magistrate meant, he clasped his fists together, expressed his sincerity, and promised to develop the village well.

Hu Kaicheng naturally stayed for dinner.

He was accompanied by Qi Zheng and Quan Jin.

But this time Hu Kaicheng didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that the food this time was not as good as the last time.

I wanted to ask, but thinking about the purpose of my visit this time, I finally held back.

It's not as delicious as last time, but it's not bad. After all, there are fresh vegetables, which are really rare and good things in winter.
