In the afternoon, Yang Xi rubbed her wrists. She was very tired from writing calligraphy all day long. She missed the convenience of modern times again. Yang Xi looked at the little girls, straightening her back even though her face looked tired.

Yang Xi followed Fang Qing's gaze and looked at Li Xiucai. Li Xiucai was getting older. He walked out with his arms around his back and became a tired dog.

Yang Xi said: "Okay, go back and have a good rest tonight."

Wu Fangqing, the most energetic person, also languished after hearing this. She stood up and said, "Sir, let's go back first."

Yang Xi asked Mo Lu to send the children back to rest, the Wu sisters returned to Wu San's residence, the Zhong girls returned to the county government office, and the other students went to the escort agency to rest.

Yang Xi sent the children away, and Zhou Yu came to find them. The two of them wanted to go home.

Zhou Yu's body smelled bad. "All the sick children among the refugees were gathered together, and the county was short of medicinal materials."

Yang Xi asked, "Are there many sick children?"

Zhou Yu said as he walked: "There are more than seventy children. Fortunately, it is not an infectious disease."

Yang Xi handed the handkerchief to Zhou Yu, "Wipe off the sweat."

Zhou Yu didn't answer and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "I'll go to Yu's house to get some medicinal materials tonight."

Yang Xi sighed, "Ruizhou is not rich in herbal medicines. Mr. Yu and his son often go to the mountains to wander and pick almost all the herbs that can be picked."

While talking, the two of them arrived in front of the carriage. Zhou Yu helped his daughter-in-law get on the carriage, "I have stocked up on medicinal materials from all the families in the county."

Yang Xi, “They won’t donate it.”

These families are stingy in stable times, let alone deadly troubled times.

Zhou Yu sat farther away from his wife. He was afraid that the smell of his body would affect her, so he sat near the curtain and changed the topic, "Five hundred households have received their household registration certificates today, and they can leave one after another tomorrow."

Yang Xi recalled the refugee area, the messy shacks, and all kinds of odors filling the air. Dirty was synonymous with it, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yu is indeed tired. He has been busy today and has not rested. "When the refugees from this state leave, Brother Zhong wants to clear the sheds and lead people to build simple houses, at least houses that can survive the winter."

Yang Xi frowned, "Where can there be so much wood?"

Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "Tearing down the existing shed can save some wood. Brother Zhong wants to open a mountain. The wood for building houses is enough. The mountainous area will be opened. Brother Zhong wants to plant medicinal herbs."

The couple chatted all the way and arrived home before they knew it. As soon as they got off the carriage, Yang Xi saw Zilu sitting at the gate.

When Zilu saw his parents, he cheered, "Dad, Mom."

Zi Heng grabbed his younger brother who was about to run and walked down the steps holding his hand. "Dad, mother, you have worked hard."

Yang Xi touched Ziheng's hair first, and then picked up her youngest son. Well, the youngest son was really heavy. "Is Zilu obedient at home?"

Zilu hugged his mother's neck and said, "Be obedient."

Yang Xi looked at the eldest son in disbelief, saw the eldest son nodded, and kissed the younger son's face, "Zilu is so good."

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Let dad give me a hug."

Zilu opened his hand and then retracted it, "Daddy stinks."

Zhou Yu pinched his youngest son's nose and said, "Little man."

The bath water at home was ready, and the two of them came out of the bath just in time to have dinner.

Mr. Ye picked up food for his son and daughter-in-law, "Are the refugees in the county a big problem?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "It's very troublesome."

Listening to her son's hoarse voice, Ms. Ye stopped asking, "I don't understand what you are talking about. You two should take care of yourselves."

Zhou Yu, "Yeah."

The meal was eaten quickly. Yang Xi and his wife went back to the east courtyard and lay down to rest. After resting for a while, they got up again. Zhou Yu wanted to write a plan for resettling the refugees. Yang Xi got up to make statistical forms and help Zhou.

Planning map of Yuhua Refugee Area.

After three consecutive days of busy work, Xiang County sent away the refugees from this state.

Yang Xi also had a new job. She took her students to select women with skills, such as midwifery, weaving, etc., and registered them.

There were many problems faced during the selection process. After a woman got married, she was always called by her surname, or whose wife she was, and even if she had a name, it was still several years ago. This resulted in five or six responses to Yang Xi's call to Li Sanya.

Women, on the other hand, are less literate and do not even know their own names when registering.

Finally, Yang Xi asked Zhou Yu to send two farmers who were skilled carpenters to make bamboo plaques out of bamboo. On the front of the bamboo plaque was the name and craftsmanship, and on the back was some simple personal information.

Yang Xi was afraid that the ink would be blurred by water, so he asked a carpenter to carve the characters and asked the county government to buy dye. Well, it cost a lot of money.

Zhong Jin's body ached very much, "Brother and sister, I really have no money."

Yang Xi grabbed the purse containing the money and said, "It's time for my eldest brother to give us the paperwork for selling charcoal."

Zhong Jin still stared at his wallet, "I've been too busy lately, so I'll send it to you as soon as the work-for-relief program is arranged."

Yang Xi, "Then I'll go back first."

Zhong Jin shouted: "Don't leave in a hurry. You have screened out skilled women. What arrangements do you have for them?"

Yang Xi sat down again, "I thought eldest brother wouldn't ask!"

Zhong Jin wanted to cover his heart, "I spent money."

Yang Xi sympathized with her eldest brother, who lost a lot of hair for money, "Fangqing burned charcoal and sold it. It is too wasteful for skilled women to burn charcoal. I have new ideas, such as letting women who can deliver babies learn some simple things."

With his medical skills, he will treat women and children in the future."

Zhong Jin reacted quickly. Even in a stable life, there is a shortage of doctors, let alone in troubled times. "Who will teach them medical skills?"

Yang Xi smiled, "I have invited Mr. Yu's wife, and she agreed to teach some simple medical skills and pharmacology."

Zhong Jin was surprised, "Does Zhang know medical skills?"

Yang Xi nodded, "Yes, and my medical skills are pretty good."

Zhang learned medical skills since he was a child, but did not continue his studies after getting married. Under the influence of the Yu family's whispers and eyes, Zhang's medical skills also improved a lot.

Yang Xi didn't expect to convince Zhang so smoothly, and Mr. Yu didn't even stop him. It went so smoothly that it was incredible.

Yang Xi later thought about it and understood that Mr. Yu agreed to Zhang's teaching students, and the old man also wanted to see the results.

Yang Xi took the money and left the county government office. She spent almost all of it, leaving only two taels of silver in her purse, which she kept on purpose.

After a busy day, Zhou Yu and his wife came home. Yang Xi rubbed her shoulders and said, "It's so tiring."

Zhou Yu put down the booklet in his hand and said, "I'll give you a squeeze on your shoulder."

"OK."

Zhou Yu's hands were strong and he tried to control his strength. "Now the refugee area has entered the normal state. It will be easier after a few more days of work."

Yang Xi tilted his head, "Where can I relax? Money is needed everywhere."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "That's brother's business."

Yang Xi was also happy, "However, Xiangxian County's capacity is limited. Even if there are another ten or twenty thousand refugees, Xiangxian County will not be able to bear it."

Zhou Yu, "Big brother has already considered that Xiangxian County will not continue to accept refugees when Ruizhou is completely stable."

"It's good to have a plan."

She was afraid that there would be no plan to accept refugees and that she would not be able to afford a big mess in the end.
