Hard work

Chapter 265
Lan Hua'er feels that her body has recovered, but when the people at home are facing her, they always use a cautious attitude.

The speed made her a little dumbfounded.She told those people more than once that she was healed and was fine, but every time she got unbelieving looks from others, as if she often lied.

Especially Zang Lang, now completely regards her as a glass doll.

Originally, Zang Lang had been very protective of her, trying not to let her do anything.If it wasn't for Lan Hua'er who felt that it would be unreasonable not to do the facts, Zang Lang would have taken over everything in the house and done it.

Fortunately, with Yang Langzhong's support, Zang Lang treats Lan Hua'er like a patient even more.

Occasionally, when Lan Huaer wanted to protest, Zang Lang said very seriously, "Sir, you can't let the little lady get tired, and you can't touch the cold water."

Lan Hua'er was dumbfounded by this group of people, "Why are you tired? Do you see that I look tired now? I haven't even touched a rag today. You have to let me cook the dishes. Yesterday It's Xiaodie who cooks, I'm not saying anything... It's just Xiaodie's craftsmanship, I'd better come to the kitchen to help in two years."

Zang Lang was stunned for a while, but he couldn't refute this.Last night, because everyone was worried that Lan Hua'er would still feel uncomfortable, they didn't let her go to the kitchen at all.But Zang Lang can only cook porridge, and no one else has done this kind of work, so the heavy responsibility of cooking dinner fell on Xiaodie's shoulders.

The food made by Xiaodie - how should I describe it - if Lan Hua'er has to say it, at least the food made by Xiaodie is quite safe, and it won't make people go wrong.However, if you want to use safety to describe a person's cooking skills, you can imagine the taste.

Zang Lang hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to let Lan Huaer accept the job of cooking again.However, he immediately added, "I'll wash the dishes."

"You wash, you wash. If you like, you can wash all the dishes." Lan Hua'er sighed, and could only compromise.

Usually everyone in the house is rushing to be lazy, but her family is very diligent, and everyone is rushing to do the work, which makes her bones weak from being idle.It's a pity that there is really nothing to be busy at home now, so I secretly grow some vegetables in the backyard, and I dare not grow more, for fear that people will see it and loot it.The house is only this big, and there is no room for cleaning.

After learning the lesson from last time, she found some dog eggs from the house to use the leftover straw paper, and picked up a piece of charcoal left over from the stove, and made a crude calendar by drawing on the paper.I didn't make it very detailed, just recorded the days casually.Draw a line on the paper every day to remember the past days.

It has been several days since Gaihua and Zhao Mumian went to the town.

From the initial hesitation, the victims outside the village gradually became more inclined to leave Aozi Village and visit the town.

There was no food to eat in Aozi Village, and they still wanted to survive.When we arrived in the town, even if we didn't open a warehouse, at least we should be able to get a little more food by begging in the town.

And maybe you can go further, to the big city.

If it is an ordinary day, no one is willing to leave their hometown.After all, these are farmers with a small-scale peasant mindset, and they have never seen any big scenes. If they are really asked to go outside, even with money and silver on them, they are still terrified, not to mention the current situation.

But it is precisely because of this that these talents mustered up their courage again.After all, if they don't go out, they will have no way to survive.

When chatting at night, Chang Wu brought up this topic incidentally, saying that the disaster victims outside had already discussed whether they should go to the town together.If it doesn't work, let's go to the city together to see if we can find a way out.Yang Langzhong also confirmed the news.

Both of them often deal with the victims of the disaster, but in this Aozi village, no one knows the movement of the victims better than them.

"In the city..." Lan Hua'er couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the town, even though it was impossible for her to see anything.

Talking about the topic in the city reminded her of Yagyu who went to the city before the flood, and wondered how he was doing now.He just wanted to go back to the village before, but he probably couldn't do it, after all, the road was still blocked.Now the mountain road leading to the town is open, but no one else knows where it is.

Although Lan Hua'er didn't think about what to do with Liu Sheng, but she was a familiar person after all, when she suddenly thought of it, she couldn't help but sigh.

She knew that Liu Sheng's house had been robbed by disaster victims, and now life was very sad, and she didn't know when Liu Sheng would come back, would she bring something good to the house, or——when she came back, she would let the family life is more difficult.

Lan Hua'er and Liu Sheng's house are not far apart, but their relationship is not very close.Especially after going back to see Liu Sheng's mother, he was completely unwilling to approach that family.I just don't know if Liu Sheng's mother has lost weight a little bit now that life is hard.Of course, this is not easy to verify.

As for the disaster victims going to the town, this is definitely a good thing.

What the villagers of Aozi Village are looking forward to day and night is when the disaster victims outside will figure it out and disperse as soon as possible.It's not that they have to go to the town. Even if those disaster victims decide to go back to their villages or move to live in the mountains, the villagers will welcome them infinitely.

We are really fed up with the days of hiding from the victims in fear.

Lan Hua'er was calmer than those villagers, after all she could occasionally hear about the disaster victims from Changwu, Yang Langzhong and Goudan.Those victims actually had a very difficult life, and they were not as vicious as they thought.

But even so, the Zhao family still had to secretly go to the back mountain to reclaim wasteland. If she wanted to grow some vegetables, she had to plant them in some dark corners of the yard for fear of being seen.

Naturally, it is best if the disaster victims are willing to leave on their own.

Fewer victims gathered outside, and gradually more villagers in the village dared to go outside for activities.From this, Lan Hua'er even saw a little boy who wanted to run up the back mountain, but was dragged back by the ears of the family members after he didn't run very far.

Zang Lang said that there were people in the field outside who had re-cultivated the field again.However, it seems that the days are not suitable for sowing, and it is estimated that there will be no harvest this year.On the piece of land that Zang Lang and Yan Dalang reclaimed on the back mountain, the vegetable seeds have sprouted long ago, and it is said that they are now green and lush.

The two of them are busy taking care of the vegetable field, and they haven't brought the prey over so often recently.

When the vegetable field blooms, there is no need to worry that the bees will not be able to survive the winter.

Some victims who have been lingering in Aozi Village hope to work as helpers in the village, to see if they can get some food in exchange.It's a pity that there is nothing to do in the village now, and the autumn harvest will be busy soon, but this year there is no work at all, so I don't need any help.

When Gaihua came back from the town, Aozi Village finally brought some good news—since the heavy rain, this was probably the only good news in the village that everyone loved to hear and celebrate.Although someone married a daughter-in-law before, but because of the bad environment, there was no publicity at all, and it was not good news for the whole village to enjoy.

What can make everyone in the village happy and relieved is naturally something related to the whole village.

It is said that the town has really started disaster relief, and the imperial court has sent a message that this year's land tax has been reduced due to the natural disaster.

This is undoubtedly great news.The victims who were still hesitating made up their minds to go to the town, while the people in the village felt relieved.They have been worrying about what to do if they have to pay land taxes this year.Looking at it now, although the current emperor has just taken office not long ago, he is also very capable.

It's a pity that the season is over now, and there is really no way to plant the land anymore. I can only watch this year's time pass by and plan the farm work in the spring of the coming year.Those capable people have already begun to free up some seeds from their homes.As for those who were robbed, they are now trying to find ways to borrow seeds.

After all, they are all from the village. Even if they are robbed again, the land at home will not disappear. As long as they survive the next year's harvest, everything will be fine.

However, in addition to good news, there is naturally bad news.

The area of ​​this flood was very wide, and it seemed that even the outside of the town was flooded, and even the surrounding cities were affected.Although the town is opening warehouses for disaster relief, the town's reserves are not very large, and it is difficult to take care of other places for the people in the town to eat and drink.

If there are still villagers in Aozi Village who want to get food, it is estimated that it is impossible.If people go to the town by themselves, they can get some, but there are not many, just enough for a day's rations.The imperial court was not so stupid. They cooked porridge every day and asked everyone to line up to get it, and they didn't give any more.

"It's a good thing anyway," Gaihua said, "The town is also in chaos. But when we passed, it had calmed down. There were a lot more soldiers, and they were guarding for fear of riots. They were also giving out food. I went back this time and saw the boss, and those people in the escort agency. They are all fine, and I am relieved. I also went to the school to see, but now there is no class, and they are all free for people to rest. There are medicine sellers in the town, and they are not expensive. I bought some and used them at home.”
