At that time, Mr. Tian said that he would go to resettlement the next day and start formal classes the day after.
He took a trip to Linguiyuan Town at night that day. It was already dark when he returned today, and he might not be able to make it in time to get settled. He had to go there early tomorrow so as not to miss class.
Thinking about it this way, time is so tight.
With two things still on his mind, Yan Laoer asked his daughter to go home and help him pack his things.
Yan Yu readily agreed.
My heart is full of joy.
Her father used to send her to school, but she didn't want her to have to send her to school this time.
So fresh!
Yan Laoer first went to find Master Lu.
He spoke sincerely: "Brother Lu, I won't tell you any nonsense about our brothers' tempers. I think you also listened to it. Another Beirong sneaked over to our place. This time he was very cunning.
Disguised as a grain merchant and went to villages to collect grain.
Just one thing, have they seen where the cellars of each house are in the village?
I heard you say that in the past when the Beirong came to attack you, you hid in the cellar and escaped. Can this method of hiding in the cellar still be used now and in the future?
Brother Lu quickly asked someone to go home and say, yes, it is always good to be prepared first.
Or if you want to finish work early and go home, my brothers don’t hesitate.
I'm so kind to you. Tomorrow I will go to Hujucheng County with my nephew to study. Even though I'm not at home, it's the same with my little girl here. She's very good at arithmetic and keeps clear accounts. She won't make any mistakes for you.
…”
Master Lu said subconsciously: "But the work is not done yet."
He was talking about the Qi family's house and the bits and pieces of small jobs in the village.
"If Brother Lu is willing to stay and continue working, of course I will be happy, but if you really don't feel at ease, otherwise, I will bring my sister-in-law and the others to live in our village temporarily. Anyway, there is a cat winter everywhere. In our village, there is a cat winter. Let's live there."
Don’t worry about the space, just squeeze in and you’ll be fine..."
The more Yan Laoer talked about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.
"Sister-in-law and the others can come over and help us with our work. What do you think of the salary? There is not much else in our village, but there is a lot of work..."
Master Lu quickly stopped him and brought his family over to work. Yan Er really dared to think so.
"I'm thinking about it, you should go about your business, the money won't be enough for me, I know your waiter is a good settler."
After looking for Master Lu, Yan Laoer found the old man working in Qi's courtyard.
Old Man Kang.
After standing at the courtyard gate and looking at it for a while, Yan Laoer walked closer with gentle steps.
As if he was aware of it, Old Man Kang looked up and saw the second son of the Yan family next door, the younger brother of the only scholar in the village.
There was a commotion outside the yard just now because he and his boy brought bamboo back from outside.
What a capable person.
Bamboo is rare in this northern region. I don’t know where to buy it.
Also courageous.
Dare to go boating at night, father and son dare to just go on the road.
"Mr. Kang."
Yan Laoer moved a piece of wood and sat down.
Old Man Kang smiled and said, "I don't dare, just call me Old Man Kang."
Yan Laoer looked at the mold in his hand and said: "I heard that the old man once asked, what's the point of improving this mold? Our village came from famine. We are poor and have nothing. We can't do anything, but we can scrape together.
, I can also scrape together a few taels of silver..."
Old Man Kang carefully put the mold aside and interrupted him: "With my status, it is useless to ask for money."
Yan Laoer waited quietly for the next step.
"People like us, reduced to this situation, have only two ways to survive."
“The first is amnesty, allowing people to return to their place of origin.
Second, if you have served enough years of hard labor, you can pay a sum of money for redemption and settle in Guanzhou."
"Now that the capital has not been established, this amnesty... I'm afraid I won't be able to wait, but my family has already served this hard labor for two years, and there is still one year left to complete it. The old man wants to settle down in Xiao'an Village next year, but I don't know if that is possible.
?”
He looked at Yan Laoer with bright eyes.
Without waiting for his answer, he said to himself: "I know that people like us are very taboo, but the old man dares to risk his life as a guarantee. My eldest son is not the culprit. At most, he can only be regarded as an accomplice. He cannot hold on.
With my original intention, I followed the trend and eventually made a big mistake. I have already received bad retribution. Even though our family has been exiled here, we have never complained about injustice.
The old man knows a few words and can teach them to his children.
My eldest son has a meek temper, but he is thorough in his work, can endure hardships, and is not good at making decisions. He can still do it for a master.
The second child...is strong enough to be able to work.
He also likes to tinker with things like wood and iron. If the village wants to make something, good or bad... he can do it.
The children in my family are all good, and they are not the ones who cause trouble.
All I want is a place to live in peace and contentment until I grow old."
After hearing this, Yan Laoer thought for a while and said, "I can't reply to you now. This matter still needs to be discussed with my brother and the village elders."
Old Man Kang immediately said: "Old man knows, but winter is coming soon. My family is all old and weak, and we don't have a place to live yet..."
"I'll make arrangements."
…
"Why do I think there is something in his words?" Yan Yu tilted her head and began to think about it after listening to what her father had said.
Yan Laoer had just taken a bath and spread his hair flat on the kang to dry.
Said: "I also think, after thinking about it, it should be caused by the iron arrow."
Yan Yu thought for a moment and said, "This iron arrow of ours is not something that can be hit casually. He thought that he would not be able to get off our pirate ship, so he simply stopped getting off and joined the gang directly."
Li Xuemei glared at her and said, "You are talking nonsense again. We are not bandits. We are not joining the gang."
"But we didn't hit arrows, we hit nails." Yan Yu said with a sly smile.
Yan Laoer chuckled: "Yes, what we are hammering is nails. Can we rely on you to make them look a little weird? Once these 'iron nails' are made, don't use them unless necessary. I have made sure that there is nothing wrong here in Guanzhou."
, I think that the old man is from the south, and he didn’t have the opportunity to understand the customs here in the quarry. I’m afraid he doesn’t know that the situation in Guanzhou is special and there are many civilian weapons.”
"But this old man is not a simple man at first glance. He talks in the same way. He said he knows a few words. He is being modest. I am afraid he is very knowledgeable." Yan Laoer turned sideways and said: "And his...
Two sons, sounds good."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xuemei: "I am targeting the eldest brother. I want to serve as an adviser to my daughter and her uncle."
"Since he was an official before, it would be no problem to be a master." Yan Yu said: "But his second son really knows how to tinker with a lot of things? I'm really curious, but it's a pity that he didn't come this time and I can't see him in person."
"Dad, if you have the chance, you should ask about it. If it is true, let them settle in our village."
Yan Laoer pushed Maomao away who was blocking his view.
Maomao opened his eyes, then slowly closed them, letting him push them.
"Your decision is too quick. How can everyone settle in our village? There is no need to put it to the test!" Yan Laoer said.
"What are you afraid of? People who are really bad can still turn our world upside down." Yan Yu had his own thoughts: "They made mistakes and were punished. They can't be crucified with a pole and they can't stand up. The uncle said that these days
Most of those who were exiled over the years were defeated in party struggles, otherwise how could my uncle let these people work in the village?"
"They live an honest and responsible life, and we treat them with a normal heart. If they dare to act like monsters, we are not vegetarians." Yan Yu declared domineeringly: "There is no discussion about driving them out of the village!"
Yan Laoer thought the same, and as soon as his mind relaxed, his eyelids began to fight.
He was also very tired and wanted to say a few more words to his wife and daughter, but he couldn't open his eyes again.
The snoring came again.
Yan Yu skillfully turned over his father.
The sound is interrupted.
The mother and daughter smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed.
Li Xuemei whispered: "You packed so much food for your father, did he finish it? It's time to break it if you can't hold it back."
"How can I not finish the food? I have to go to Huju from time to time to deliver it to him."
Her father plans to attack the big master!
Use delicious food to gain weight in the hearts of future teachers.
I have to say that Yan Yu was also shocked when he heard this idea!
