Chapter 685: Xiaoan Village, Land of Exile
Yan Yu took the note with her master's seal to the quarry to pick up the person.
The manager of the quarry was very polite.
They had dealt with him before, but the identity of the boy in front of them was different now.
The son of General Yan, a legitimate official.
Moreover, when the government office was surrounded, they sent food and coal to it, and the news was synchronized with their colleagues in the government office. Good guy, I didn't expect Yan Xiaoer to be the grandson of the general manager of the palace.
You talk to General Yan, how many times have we dealt with him, why is he so distant!
You have such a powerful relationship, why don't you show it off!
The manager did not say a word, and he was very efficient. He shouted to his men to drive the car and tie up the prisoners. As for the families of the prisoners, there were not many left at the quarry. The hands of the offenders in each family were tied together, and the families followed behind obediently.
They are professionals in escorting prisoners.
There will be no mistakes.
Seeing that Yan Yu came with a group of energetic boys, and no adults followed him, the manager asked his men to send the people there, and repeatedly reminded them to take them to Xiaoan Village safely without any mistakes.
I think his instructions worked. Along the way, the officers only shouted with fierce faces, and the whips in their hands only made a sound in the air, but no one fell on anyone. They did not walk fast. Three or four people were taking care of the middle and end of the team. The two people in front, one drove the car, and the other talked to Yan Yu enthusiastically.
Yan Yu asked about the captured Xizhou soldiers.
The police officer laughed and said, "Who wouldn't obey us in our quarry? Those guys wanted to run away when they first came? Their tricks are left over from others. It's so cold, and we don't have the patience to mess with them. We'll grab and beat up any one who's eyes are rolling around. After a few times, they'll all be obedient. Haha!"
Yan Yu: "After the spring plowing, our village will build houses and walls, and we'll need a lot of bricks and stones. Don't let them break them or they won't be able to work."
"Don't worry, haha, we have rules under our command. They'll only hurt the skin and not the bones. When the weather warms up, our quarry will also start working. How can we give If they are beaten, they will be fed for nothing this winter. They will eat so much food from us. How can they eat for nothing? ! "
Yan Yu nodded repeatedly, and the boys around him also echoed:
"We have to make them work more. Our village has a big gap!"
"My family also needs to build three more rooms. My mother said that we should build brick and stone houses, which are sturdy."
"My family needs to build too!"
"Your family needs to build too? Then should we line up in a row? Don't rush them all over, it will be too busy."
Several boys discussed seriously, and finally decided to run from the village entrance to the big stone in the order they ran to.
The people who walked slowly with their hands tied raised their heads from time to time, with a thoughtful and hopeful look in their eyes.
Xiao'an Village.
They were not unfamiliar with this name.
Many families of convicted officials were "rented" to the quarry.
Some of them also had relatives who went there. I wonder how they are doing now?
Listening to the voice, Xiaoan Village is going to start construction after spring plowing. No matter how hard it is, as long as they can be with their families, they can always stick to it.
…
Each family in the village will find the mountain products stored in the cellar and send them to Cui's house.
Dr. Cui was called back by Cui's wife. Big Dog and Little Dog, plus him, the three men in the Cui family who can read and write were arranged clearly by Cui's wife.
Little Dog was responsible for moving the mountain products out of his cellar and warehouse.
Mrs. Cui was a meticulous person. These were all weighed and placed according to the types. Just go through them again and make a note.
Dr. Cui was responsible for two things. He moved the medicinal materials in the yard into the house. He was reluctant to sell them. Why did he leave them there to take up space? Don't wait for people to come to pick up the goods, and then they will be busy and run away. It's hard to say whether they can be found back.
He had to weigh and count the mountain products sent by each family, and then hand over the scattered products to Da Gouzi after they were put into a bag.
Da Gouzi put bag after bag of mountain products on the cart, and when he had enough, he went out of the house, turned forward, and entered the yard of the Yan family.
Li Xuemei specially cleared the main room for her aunt to use, and the bright and spacious yard at home was free for stacking and placing anything.
She specially lit the fire wall at the other end of the main room, with not much firewood, and slowly heated it with a low fire, for fear that the mountain products that had been dried would get damp.
Several neighboring families came to help.
They didn't need to write and calculate, but they could move and lift things.
Those young men who were placed in each family to rest heard the noise and rushed over, wanting to help, but they couldn't do anything.
The people in this village, men and women, old and young, all work in a very methodical way. They are busy but orderly, busy but not chaotic. Everyone works according to the division of labor and focuses on their own work. The ladies who come to deliver mountain products are not busy collecting money. They chat and laugh with Cui Niangzi for a while and then turn around and leave.
Cui Niangzi saw them and waved and greeted them with a smile: "Hey, you little brothers, aren't you tired? Well, since you are all here, it's a good opportunity to see our goods. Take a look. Are they not bad? They are all good. Go back and tell your shopkeeper to put your heart at ease. We are all honest people and are very sincere!"
"You don't need to help. You have been busy all night. Take a rest quickly. Take a nap first. I will be busy here first. When the meal is ready, let our two boys greet you."
How can the guys who can be brought from the south to the north by the shopkeeper to do business be so tactless to really take a rest? These guys won't leave no matter what they say. They must help.
Madam Cui smiled and arranged work for them, thanked the neighbors who came to help, and let them go.
Seeing that the work was done well, she left her front door and entered the back door of Yan's house.
"Madam Rong, I'm sorry to bother you. I really don't have time to light a fire, and there are not so many stoves at home. I know you are capable and can prepare meals for these ten people, but we are not the kind of people who can order people around. You should keep this. It is our kindness. You get paid for each job you do in Yan's house, but there is no reason for you to work in vain with this pile of money in our house. Take it quickly."
Madam Rong took the money very calmly, smiling and gesturing that it was nothing, and pointed at the big dog who drove the cart into the yard, indicating that she would let the big dog go to call people when the meal was ready.
Madam Cui nodded repeatedly and left happily.
Madam Rong saw her leave, turned around and left the kitchen and entered Li Xuemei's room.
She showed her the two strings of money that Madam Cui had just stuffed into her, then wiped the copper coins clean, put them in her own purse, and kept them close to her body.
Li Xuemei couldn't help laughing.
Since Rong Mama got her monthly allowance, they asked her to keep it for herself. Rong Mama stopped handing it in, but instead asked them to take a look at it every time and then put it away.
She either learned to rub the copper coins from the waiter or her father.
Even the posture of patting the money bag after putting it away is exactly the same as that of the father and son.
Waiter: Come on, from now on, you will all be exiled to our village, slurp ( ̄ii ̄;)
Li Xuemei: Witness the self-learning of intelligent robots!
