The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"Aunt Song, is the soup ready?" Yan Yu ran towards the steaming cauldron.

"Alright, alright!" The eldest girl of the Song family quickly set the wooden bowl aside.

There are only a dozen or so in total, and there are no more at home.

"Xiao Er, invite someone to come." She said while stirring the pot.

In addition to the pot in front of her, there are two stoves next to her. The lady who cooks the soup can't help but take a peek at the second young master of Yan's family in Xiao'an Village. my second boy...

Yan Xiaoer is even more special. As long as people in the village call him "Xiaoer" without adding his surname, it means him and no one else.

Feeling their eyes, Yan Yu turned her head and smiled at them.

"Aunt Song, have you tasted it? How does it taste?" Yan Yu didn't rush to call out, wanting to know how the soup was boiled.

There is no way, these villagers who came today, since they went out in the cold winter, they all wore the thickest and most decent clothes at home, but compared with the villagers of Xiao'an Village, they still seemed a bit thin.

Yan Yu thought about making a few pots of hot soup, and put some of her family's spicy meat strips in it. The fire toad meat strips are full of heat, full marks for hotness, not too much, just a little is enough, and then covered with ginger, it will not taste hot. So conspicuous.

Every family in the village has stored some ginger, which can be saved if boiled together, so when Yan Yu mentioned it, the villagers agreed.

Grandpa Song took the matter away and asked several girls in his family to take turns to do it.

The reason why they don't do it together, but take turns, is also to arrange a job for the ladies from the quarry.

"I just took a sip, and it's not bad, my whole body is warm." The eldest girl of the Song family said with a smile.

"Then, Aunt Song, don't be reluctant to wait until the meeting. Serve them all. This militia was organized by my uncle. On the first day we came here, we got cold sick. Uh... it's not good." Yan Yu was serious. Said.

"We know the severity, my father has told me several times at home."

"That's fine, I'll call someone!"

Yan Yu ran away again.

I was alone, and I didn't even have anyone to help pass the message.

That's because all the children in the village were detained in the school.

The elders in the village have been reminded early on that the militia is a big deal, don't let the naughty boys from various families come out to make trouble.

These boys are very difficult to manage now, they have clamored to go into the mountain several times.

No matter what kind of mountain you go into, you don't even look at your own head, you just step on it, and then bury your little head in the snow...

What? Xiao Er has entered the mountain?

brat! Do you have the intelligence of Xiaoer, or the strength of Xiaoer, how can you compare with Xiaoer? !

...

Yan Lao Er spent money to hire people. At first, the stewards of the quarry were restrained. All the people who came here were old and young men.

The people in Xiao'an Village were also kind, and all of them were brought here.

Yan Yu has been busy these days, so she hasn't been around the village much, otherwise she will find that there are a dozen or so houses full of people...

It's not that the village can't be resettled, but the village elders agree that it saves charcoal.

Probably a kang head was crowded next to each other, and the men, women and children in the quarry got along very well with the people of Xiao'an Village.

These former officials, lords and wives are all hard-working, friendly and polite.

Several of them were said to be well-educated, and were recommended by Mr. Kang to teach in the school in the village.

The men worked with the men in Xiao'an Village, repairing igloos, piling snow bags, skinning and deboning the wild animals they picked up, riding sledges to Huju and Gufeng to collect firewood, and going to the charcoal field to help burn carbon……

There is a lot of work in Xiao'an Village, and they can be busy from morning to night without touching the ground.

The women are relatively free, so they follow the ladies of each family to do some light work.

In addition to cleaning the house and cooking, they recently learned how to grow vegetables in the house with the women in the village.

Luscious green shallots, tender cabbage, chopped leeks... two or three houses are still growing rare cucumbers, so precious, I wish I could see them three times a day.

The most amazing thing is the mushroom that grows in the bag of broken wood, rags, small stones and charcoal.

A special room has to be vacated, the windows and doors are covered with cloth, the fire wall is burned, and the water basin is placed...

The mushrooms just grow!

There is only one family in this mushroom house in Xiao'an Village, and that is Yan's family.

The lady Rong from the Yan family would come back every other day, mainly to see the mushroom house.

She doesn't mind teaching others, but this lady Rong can't speak, she can only rely on gestures, how much she can understand depends entirely on the individual.

There are also many children sent to the quarry.

In particular, it caused headaches in the village.

I don't know what to do with them. Let them be idle, but I don't think it's appropriate. No matter how big or small they are, they have to spend money to hire them. They just feed them and live with them. , Thinking about it makes me panic.

The village elders discussed and discussed, and thought of a job for them, watching the fire.

Charcoal is hotter than firewood, and it is more resistant to burning, but everyone knows that the price of charcoal is so high now, so they are reluctant to add charcoal to the kang cave twice at night, so that it will be warm all night. During the day, everyone The guy still burns more firewood, so someone has to add more firewood every once in a while, and then use a hook to dig out the hole.

At the beginning, these children were not very good at it, and they all got confused, but no one is born to do it, as long as they are willing to learn, there is nothing they can't do.

The people in the village didn't take it seriously at all. If it didn't work once, it would be repeated twice, and if it failed twice, it would be repeated three times. Whose children didn't come here like this.

Within two or three days, these children got started.

The people in Xiao'an Village started to be more defensive, and later found that these children were well-educated, they didn't have the problem of petty theft, and they were very polite. When they caught up with the cooking at home, they stuffed them with steamed buns and pancakes. I saw that I was worried about breaking my child's waist...

...

Yan Yu led the people over.

Not to mention how strange the villagers of the militia are, why not give them hot soup first, with meat in it? !

Once I walked by, it was okay to meet a villager, and I was not surprised by her.

But people from the quarry, no matter men, women, young or old, really looked at her as if they were looking at a western scene, their eyes were full of curiosity.

They thought they were cryptic, but...there were so many people that Yan Yu couldn't ignore them even if he wanted to.

She felt better when she stood beside her uncle.

Ha ha ha ha! Uncle is more attractive than her.

The big guy greeted him with ChuaChua's eyes.

Yan Huaiwen glanced around.

He asked her in a low voice, "They all come from the quarry?"

Yan Yu nodded: "Uncle, do you think there are too many people? The quarry can't start work now, and the steward can't wait to send us all the people."

Yan Huaiwen laughed lightly: "He sent someone here, let's continue."

"Uncle, is there anything wrong?" Yan Yu was still a little worried, after all, the current scale seems a bit big.

Compared with the quarry, Xiao'an Village is more like a prisoner... a place of exile.

"When the weather gets warmer, the high walls in the village should continue to be repaired..." Yan Huaiwen said lightly.

He was exiled to Guanzhou, and he did not say that he must be exiled to the quarry.

Throwing stones and moving stones...moving stones and building walls...

Almost the same.

There will only be more people exiled in the future, as long as people don't die, there will be an explanation.

"It's better to make up a secondment document. When I go back and write it, you can pick it up yourself." Yan Huaiwen has always been considerate in his work.

Speaking of documents, Yan Yu remembered.

"Uncle, have the procedures for the Kang family been completed? My father asked me to ask yesterday."

"It's done." Yan Huaiwen said.

Yan Yu exhaled, and said with a smile: "That's good, so that Uncle Kang won't worry about it every day."

Yan Huaiwen thought to himself that he was an official after all, so Kang Er was heartless and completely unaware of this hidden danger.

Looking at the position of the three pots, Yan Huaiwen said, "Follow me."

People from Xiao'an Village took the lead, and the people queuing up for soup were orderly, so he could leave for a while.

"Your father isn't planning to come?" Yan Huaiwen and Yan Yu stopped near the village school.

Yan Yu then told her plan.

Yan Huaiwen watched her eyes flicker for a while, then calmed down again, and hummed lightly, accepting the urgent schedule.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Yan Huaiwen asked softly, looking at the school covered in ice.

"Uncle wants to see how the big guy is doing?" Yan Yu guessed casually.

She remembered that her uncle said before that if she wanted to have more promising children in the village, reading was not the only way, but the cornerstone of everything in the future.

Yan Huaiwen shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "Father and son of the Kang family settled in Xiao'an Village as exiles, and your father and I handled all matters. Now that it has been settled, we must tell you one or two..."

Sheen? Be it.

Although Mr. Kang has not taken an official career, he is a rare understanding person.

Kang Da followed Tianyou's side and did his best.

Kang Er's knowledge is not good, but he is actually a man of temperament, and he will follow his words without hesitation, so far, it can be regarded as useful.

The smartest thing about Mr. Kang is that he married the Qi family. Not only has he gained a firm foothold in Xiao'an Village, but the relationship between the several families has also become closer.

He had no prejudice against the prisoner.

Looking at the court hall, there are several clean ones.

Guanzhou...huju...lack of people!

Instead of letting them go back to their hometown and live a lonely life, it is better to stay in Guanzhou, Xiao'an Village...

The Kang family is a good example.

He, showing his wings, just to see if these people are willing to be sheltered.

...

When Yan Yu led people into the mountain, he was still thinking about what happened in the school just now.

Her uncle, in front of several other teachers, handed over the document to Mr. Kang for a closer look.

Obviously came prepared.

When the piece of paper was spread out on the table, and Mr. Kang couldn't help reading it word by word, Yan Yu keenly noticed that the people next to him were short of breath!

It was done together with the paperwork, and the Kang family's deed.

Xiaoan Village came here after fleeing the famine. It has been cultivated for less than three years, and the land deed cannot be obtained. Every family in the village has a deed.

When Mr. Kang put away the deed, his hands were trembling. With this piece of paper, it was as if he had roots.

Yan Yu felt that she had learned again.

The uncle didn't even need to say anything, just took out the paperwork and the house deed, and Mr. Kang was inexplicably grateful, and the envious eyes around him seemed to have substance.

What Yan Yu thought was that if it was her or her father, the effect would definitely be much worse.

For the two of them, father and daughter, it is indeed a bit much.

Don't say it, the uncle is reticent, saying a few words is really aura!

...

"The broth just now was really delicious. The village of Xiao'an is really real. They said it was broth, but they really put meat in it, not bone broth..."

Yan Yuxin said how come we didn't get through the tight life in our village. Isn't this how life is going now? Besides, look at your current appearance, each of you is dry, and you have to take good care of it.

If we want to run this militia well, what we need are strong and strong fighters!

"It is said that there will be tomorrow, do you think it can be true?"

"What I heard is that if you can really pick meat from the mountains, you will have..."

"I'm afraid you heard it wrong, drink twice a day? Life is over!"

"It's true!" A crisp voice cut in.

The villagers at the back of the line looked over, and it was a boy from Xiao'an Village.

This kid is not ordinary, they heard that the people in Xiao'an Village ahead called him "Xiaoer".

What kind of militia they are, they are all strong men, uh, the people in Xiao'an Village are stronger, just this little Douding, I don't know why they follow.

The adults at home are also at ease?

"Your name is Xiaoer, right? Is your family related to Yan Hushu?"

Yan Huaiwen sits in Huju's house in the government office. After the Beirong came, the government's series of measures helped them survive the most difficult time. They went to the government to settle the settlement, and went to the barn to exchange grain. The small and small errands recognized it all.

Yan Yu often ran to the government office, so it was not surprising that someone saw her.

"That's my uncle!" There's nothing to hide.

"Hey, then you are the young master of Yanhu Calligrapher's family, why did you come to the mountains to suffer?"

Yan Yu widened her eyes and asked them, "Do you think going into the mountains is a crime?"

"That's not good, it's so cold today, it can freeze people to death! It's even colder in the mountains!"

"No, the wild animals in the mountains are all frozen to death, what do we have, they still have hair, and we don't have..."

The person who spoke was pulled back by the person next to him.

Silly! Say everything without looking at whose child it is.

Yan Yu: "People in our village can't compete for a place even if they want to come. When you go back today, if you really don't want to come again, you can talk to people in our village in private, and anyone you want will be willing to replace you."

She's telling the truth, don't say it's for nothing, even if she finds these people for a few pennies, the people of Xiao'an Village are willing to do so.

The Huju official government strictly ordered that no one except the militia was allowed to enter the mountain.

These people fell silent.

Yan Yu didn't care, instead she talked warmly with them.

From Yan Xiaoer's mouth, these villagers know that the training of the militia has not been decided yet, but it is certain that there will be a bowl of hot soup before and after entering the mountain.

It is said that Yan Hushu's younger brother, Yan Er's, made the decision.

Worried about them catching cold and getting sick.

This meat is from the Yan family for the time being, and it will be replenished after they pick up wild animals from the mountains.

These wild animals that have been picked up cannot be put into their own hands right away.

The meat has to be processed, skinned and deboned.

It was Yan Er who gave the idea, saying that they were afraid that they would go out for a few days without any movement, and their family members would worry about how many wild animals they picked from the mountains that day, and if there was any packed frozen meat in Xiao'an Village, they would send it to their village.

These villagers immediately had a huge crush on Yan Hushu's younger brother, Yan Er!

The exchanges between the two sides are also much cordial.

"Xiao Er, where is your father? Which one is it? Some of us may have seen it, and we will recognize those who haven't." What a good man!

"My father is trying to beg food for us in Yongning." Yan Yu opened her mouth and gave her father another lift.

Everyone is in awe!

This is not nonsense.

For the cold disaster in Guanzhou, disaster relief was not limited to Yongning.

It is good to have a part-time job. Yan Yu is well-informed. He heard this morning that he was going to transport food to various cities.

Yan Yu planned to talk to the general accountant when he got back in the afternoon, that Huju's food didn't need to be delivered, they could pick it up by themselves.

How can outsiders come to transport with their own dedication.

They felt distressed when the food leaked even a little bit.

A little bit ahead of the card point~
