So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"Are you planning to stay?" The old lady asked curiously after hearing Sui He's words.

"Yes, ma'am, can you take us to see the village chief?" Mr. Chen walked forward and began to ask.

"Brother Chen, do you want to stay?" Father Lin looked around at the deserted fields. It was too desolate, even more desolate than their Linjia Village.

"Yes, we plan to stay here. There are mountains, water and land here. As long as we work hard, we will never starve to death." Master Chen looked at the barren fields in front of him.

"Besides, there's nowhere else to go right now. Do we have to walk back all the way?"

"This..." Father Lin glanced at the people in the team. They all looked at him anxiously, their eyes full of helplessness. Their happy expressions had faded, revealing fatigue.

"Auntie, please take us to see the village chief," said Father Lin to the ladies who were sitting and chatting, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Seeing that they were all going to stay, the ladies were all happy. As for being xenophobic? That's impossible. Don't you see what time it is now?

There are too few people in Qingshan Village, and they are in need of people right now. It would be great if they could stay.

Moreover, they had already checked out the group of people, young and old. They saw an old woman holding a one-month-old baby in her arms. They brought all the old and young in their family with them on such a long journey, which showed that these people were good people. They had all escaped disasters and had seen too many people abandoning their elderly and inconvenient babies along the way. That scene was really...

In addition, there are quite a few strong men in this group, all of them are young and strong. She has already taken a fancy to a few of them and will get to know them first. If they are good, she will ask them if they are married, so that she can introduce her niece to them.

Besides, with these young and strong people, they are not afraid of people from other villages coming to occupy their land. They know that there are few people in Qingshan Village but a lot of land, and people from other villages are jealous. They always want to come and occupy their village's fields.

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful the lady was. She couldn't help but smile. Sui He looked at the lady in front of him with a smile in her eyes.

"My last name is Li, you can just call me Aunt Li. How old are you, young man?" The lady leading the way saw Sui He staring at her, but she didn't get angry and asked in a familiar manner.

"Aunt Li, I am thirteen years old this year." Sui He was not shy and replied openly.

"Thirteen, you don't look like a thirteen-year-old with your small body. You are so skinny and small. You need to eat more so that you can grow strong. When you are old enough, I will introduce you to a wife, and you can settle down here in the future."

Sui He was very upset when she heard this. She didn't want a wife.

"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Li." Sui He said with a helpless smile.

The group followed Aunt Li to the only relatively intact yard in the village.

"Village chief, are you at home? A group of people are going to stay in our village," Aunt Li shouted inside.

After a while, everyone heard some noise in the yard. The yard door was opened with a creak, and a middle-aged man walked out, followed by a little girl of eight or nine years old.

"Hello, I'm the chief of Qingshan Village. My surname is Zhao. Welcome. Do you really want to stay?" Zhao looked at everyone with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Well, we decided to stay here. This is the resettlement document given to us by the government," said Father Lin. He took out the sign and a piece of paper given to him by the government.

Village Chief Zhao took the things, looked at the seal on them carefully, and nodded repeatedly, "The things are fine, you can keep them. There are still some empty houses in the village, which were left by previous people. They can be rented to you temporarily. In the next two days, you can choose some land as a homestead, and then go to the government office to register after you have chosen."

Village Chief Zhao paused for a moment and continued, "Although the government has exempted you from taxes for five years, this is the village's land after all. We can't give it to you for free. You should still pay a symbolic amount of money so that I can give an explanation to others."

"Of course, of course, we all know the rules." Father Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing what Village Chief Zhao said.

"If you don't have money, you can owe it to me first. It won't be too late to give it to me when you have money." Seeing that this group of people were all dusty and ragged, they must not have much money. He was not in a hurry, so he approved some for them first.

"Thank you very much, Village Chief." Father Lin bowed to Village Chief Zhao

"Okay, come with me, I'll take you to see the house." Village Chief Zhao led everyone into the village.

On the way, Sui He looked around the small mountain village. Most of the houses in the village were dilapidated, obviously having experienced the baptism of war. Those houses that looked slightly better were occupied by people, and only when people lived in them would someone repair the houses.

When they heard that a group of refugees were going to live in their village, the villagers of Qingshan Village all ran out to look at Old Man Lin and his group curiously, whispering to each other.

"Where are you from?" An old lady who had been following them stopped Youliang and asked.

"We came from Linjia Village on our way back to the city."

"Oh, it's so far. It must have taken you a long time to get here." When they heard that they were returning to the city, the ladies watching exclaimed in amazement.

"Of course, we have been on the road for two or three months." After a while, several aunts from Linjia Village started chatting with the old ladies.

Soon, they came to some vacant houses at the foot of the mountain. "There are not many people in our village, only about 20 or 30 households. These houses are left by the previous people. Although they are a bit simple, they can be lived in after cleaning. Don't be disgusted. We will all be in the same village in the future. If there is any problem, just tell the village and everyone will come to help," said Village Chief Zhao.

"No, no, how could we despise it? We have been through hardships all this way, and now we have a place to settle down. We are already very satisfied. How can we despise it?" Father Lin thanked Village Chief Zhao and instructed everyone to choose a house and settle down first.

After hearing what Father Lin said, everyone in Linjia Village went to choose the house they liked. There were not many houses, so those with large families could choose a large house, or they could live together with a few familiar families for a few days.

"Then I feel relieved by what you said. You guys go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore. I'll take you to the city to register your household registration in a couple of days."

"Okay, then, Village Chief, you go and do your work first. We will visit you after we are settled."

"Okay," said Village Chief Zhao, and he left, dispersing the villagers who were watching. "What are you looking at? Go away. They are all from the same village. Don't disturb them. Have you finished your work in the fields? Go home early if you have nothing else to do."

After everyone chose a house, they began to clean and tidy up. Suddenly, the whole Qingshan Village became lively.

Suihe's family chose a smaller house with only two rooms. The rooms, which had not been occupied for a long time, were covered with dust and cobwebs.

Fortunately, some cleaning tools are still in this house.

After a simple cleanup, Second Grandma took a cake and walked into Suihe's room, "Sui Sui, eat something. It's getting late today. I'll cook you something hot tomorrow."
