When the issue of spending money to enter the city caused trouble for the Song family, the Yangcheng government finally posted an official notice announcing that Yangcheng would join five surrounding cities to jointly resettle the victims, and that Yangcheng had a total of 300 resettlement places.
Not only that, the first batch of resettlement lists was also posted below the notice, totaling 200 people. The remaining 100 people will be announced three days later.
As soon as this incident spread, the victims immediately became excited. They stopped digging grass roots and looking for water. They all gathered at the city gate, scrambling to squeeze in front of the list, eager for their names to appear on those white pages.
superior.
Strangely, among the nearly 2,000 victims gathered at the city gate, nearly 200 people temporarily led by Village Chief Qian were all on the list and became the first batch of people to be resettled by the government.
Fortunately, there are countless small groups among the victims, and they are not familiar with each other. Otherwise, someone would have known that Village Chief Qian and his party were appointed by default.
Song Jia'ao also got the news quickly. They were very familiar with Village Chief Qian and his party. The moment they heard the list, they understood the twists and turns.
Instead of being angry, the villagers who had already paid Tieniu were as happy as if they had made a fortune, as if their names had appeared on the second batch of resettlement lists.
Since Tieniu has the ability to let the government decide on resettlement places, isn't it a piece of cake to spend money to let them enter the city?
With this idea in mind, they no longer had any doubts about Tieniu, and their hearts that had been hanging on them were completely settled. They only waited for the government to announce the second batch of names three days later.
In the past, several families in Songjiaao were in trouble because of spending money to go to the city. This time, the trouble became even more serious:
"Dad, you are old, but your two grandsons are still young. You can't be so selfish and only care about yourself, regardless of the life and death of the two little ones. Just take out the money and let our family of four enter the city.
It will be too late!"
"Daughter-in-law, just let Gangzi go. He will take good care of the child. You don't want the child to continue to escape and suffer hardships with us, right? As for you, just follow us two old ones with peace of mind. We will take good care of you.
"
"Father, mother, since you were little, you have always favored your eldest brother. If anything good happens, he must be the first person you think of! Obviously the money in the family is enough for two people to go to the city, but you let the eldest brother go and let me stay, isn't that right?
You expect me to support you until the end of your life? Humph, I won’t do it!”
"..."
The old village chief dragged his heavy body and tried his best to persuade this family and that family, but he was still unable to completely resolve their family conflicts. Almost as soon as they left, they started to quarrel again.
In such matters, one party must compromise in order to maintain superficial peace, but at this critical moment, no one is willing to make concessions.
The peace in Song Jia'ao was broken again, and those families that were originally harmonious also made their own small calculations, trying to drain their wealth so that their small families would appear on the second batch of resettlement lists.
Brothers fight, fathers and sons fight, couples part ways, all happening in one day, and more people are looking for Tieniu.
In such an atmosphere, the Song family seemed particularly quiet.
Song Xixi was secretly glad that she was reborn in the Song family. If she had been reborn into a family with many conflicts, she might have been deeply involved in internal strife within the family, and she would not have the energy to complete the various tasks issued by 001.
It can be seen that family harmony is very important to individuals.
Not to mention Song Xixi's daily thoughts, Li Xiufen has not been idle these two days.
Ever since that night when she deliberately had sex with Tieniu, she would leave every evening and come back in the middle of the night with hardened scones.
Li Xiufen didn't eat too many of these scones herself. Every time she woke up Yuanbao and Tongtong, who were already sleeping, and quietly took them to a deserted place to eat, so that the brother and sister could no longer go to bed hungry.
"Eat slowly, there is still a lot, don't choke." Listening to the sound of her children devouring the food, Li Xiufen felt sour in her heart. She opened the water bamboo tube she carried with her and let them eat slowly with water.
Since her last experience in Lucheng, her attitude towards Tongtong has improved a lot, and she finally looks a bit like a loving mother.
In the past, she would have only let Yuanbao eat alone, and there was no way she would have let Tongtong taste the pancake foam.
"Mom, where did these scones come from?" After having delicious food for two consecutive nights, Yuan Bao felt a little uneasy and unconsciously grabbed the corner of Li Xiufen's clothes, trying to find out the origin of the scones.
"As long as you have something to eat, why are you asking so many questions?" Li Xiufen found it hard to say, so she stuffed a scone into her son's hand, trying to fool him.
"Mom, if you don't tell the truth, I won't eat the scones!" Yuanbao resisted the temptation and stuffed the scones back into the oil paper bag.
In the darkness, Li Xiufen's eyes turned red, and she gently held her son in her arms: "When Yuanbao grows up, he knows that he is worried about his mother..."
Yuan Bao begged: "Mom, just tell me."
Li Xiufen had no choice but to lie to him: "My mother asked someone who could go to the city to buy it. Aren't there many people doing this these days?"
Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief and had no doubt at all: "So that's it...Mom, you should eat quickly, there are two more, you and your sister happen to have one each."
Li Xiufen smiled and said: "Mom, you have eaten this, you can eat it. Only when you are full can you grow taller."
Yuan Bao shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was full and could not eat anymore.
Li Xiufen refused to allow him to eat it. In the end, mother and son shared a piece of scone, and the remaining piece was given to Tongtong who looked at it eagerly but did not dare to ask for it.
After eating and drinking enough, Yuan Bao touched his belly and showed a happy smile: "I really hope I can live such a good life every day!"
Li Xiufen was about to burst into tears when she heard this, and kept stroking her son's head: "Yes, yes, soon mother will let you live such a good life every day!"
Tieniu has promised to help the three of them get three places to enter the city. They will only be able to enter Yangcheng and settle down in Yangcheng after the government officially announces the second batch of lists.
When the time comes, relying on the care of Tien Niu, she will find a job as a sewing machine, and it will not be a problem to support her three mouths.
"Mom, I will work hard in the future so that you and your sister can live a good life!" Yuan Bao's small hand held Li Xiufen's big hand, and his shining eyes were full of seriousness.
"Okay, okay, mother's good ingot, mother is waiting..." Li Xiufen was so moved that she felt that all her efforts were worth it.
That evening, Li Xiufen carefully took care of her hair, took out the only wooden hairpin and inserted it into her bun. She also took a piece of cloth and dipped some water on her face, then carefully wiped off the dust on her face.
After everything was packed, Li Xiufen told Yuanbao Tongtong not to run around, and rushed to the old place to have a tryst with Tieniu.
Before she could get there, she unexpectedly heard Tieniu's dissatisfied voice coming from another direction:
"Qian Xiucai, I have collected all the money, but you said that things have changed and you can't get the remaining 100 places. How do you want me to explain to the victims?"
Li Xiufen's expression changed and she quietly approached...
