Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

"Thank you, General, for your advice." Jiang Wenming took the words to heart.

The little boy registered John and Mr. Jiang Liu, took Jiang Wenming's household registration, glanced at it and smiled faintly, "Jiang Wenming, your name is similar to that of a colleague of mine."

"Is Jun Ye's colleague also surnamed Jiang?" Jiang Wenming asked in surprise.

Xiao Si'er shook his head, "His last name is not Jiang, his last name is Dong."

Ma Chao suddenly laughed and asked, "Is your colleague called Dong Lili?"

Xiao Sier suddenly burst into laughter. "It's almost the same. His name is Dong Limao, Li means gift, and Mao means flourishing."

Jiang Wenming's ears turned red. It was not really his decision to name himself. His father had given him the name.

After seeing Ma Chao's name, Xiao Sier looked up and asked, "Why don't you call yourself Zhao Zilong of Changshan?"

"Then my father's surname is Ma, not Zhao!" Ma Chao said with a smile.

After registering, several people squatted aside waiting for someone to come and pick them up.

"We have arrived here safely. I wonder how Xiaoyun and the others are doing? When we came over, we saw planes flying back and forth over there on the boat. We don't know if there will be another fight?" Jiang Wenming said to Jiang Liuye worriedly.

"That child is lucky and blessed with a long life. I believe that they will be fine. We have to buy a house and settle down as soon as possible, otherwise they will have nowhere to live." Master Jiang Liu looked into the distance with an indescribable look in his eyes.

Jiang Jiyun followed Yan Xuyang to the village and saw even fewer pedestrians. Many shops were closed and the whole street was deserted.

"Boss, we want to buy some cakes." Jiang Jiyun called out to the boss who was pushing the cart.

Seeing that there were customers coming, the boss stopped and asked, "A coarse-grain vegetable cake costs two copper coins. How many do you want?"

"One dollar is about four hundred copper coins. We want one dollar." Jiang Jiyun said while counting on his fingers.

"Why did you buy so many cakes?" The boss was shocked when he heard the number.

"Alas! Life is hard now, so we decided to move the whole village away. This is what I bought for the journey. I'm worried that this amount of food might not be enough!"

When the stall owner heard that the whole village was going to eat these cakes on their way out, he parked his car on the side of the road and started making cakes without saying anything, and his wife also helped.

"Brother, wait here while I go into the cloth shop to see if we can buy everything on the list." Jiang Jiyun looked at the list in his hand.

Yan Xuyang looked at the cloth shop across the road and nodded in agreement, "We bought it in the county town last time. Will there be so much cotton in this village?"

"I'll go take a look first. If there's no tomorrow, I'll go to the county town to buy it. I guess they don't have much cotton now. That thing has always been in short supply." Jiang Jiyun said helplessly.

After saying that, Jiang Jiyun strolled into the cloth shop, and the female owner saw a little girl with two pigtails.

"Kid, why did you come in alone?" the female boss asked Jiang Jiyun in dialect.

"Madam, I don't understand your dialect. Can you speak Mandarin?"

The proprietress heard the child speaking Mandarin and asked in Mandarin, "Why did you come in alone?"

"My brother is buying sesame cakes across the street. Let me go in and see if you have any cotton-padded jackets for sale."

The proprietress listened carefully to her words, and half-heard and half-guessed that her brother was waiting to buy cakes across the street, and she came in to buy a cotton-padded jacket.

"Quilt-padded jacket? Do you want to buy a ready-made one or make it yourself?" The proprietress managed to say something after a long time.

"It would be best if we have ready-made clothes, but if not, then there's nothing we can do." Jiang Jiyun looked at the clothes hanging in the store.

"Yes, there are, but they are clothes made from old cotton. The fabric is new and the cotton is old. It's just that it was re-stuffed before being made into cotton-padded clothes, so it's also very fluffy." The proprietress said while gesturing.

Seeing that the proprietress did not hide anything, Jiang Jiyun nodded and said, "I want fourteen sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, and fourteen pairs of cotton-padded shoes."

"How much... do you want?" The proprietress had not sold so many cotton-padded clothes this year.

"Fourteen sets. The men in our village are going to travel far away to make a living, so the village has prepared money for them to buy clothes for them to make a living."

The proprietress looked at the girl and asked, "Aren't you from another place? How come there is a village here?"

"Madam, everyone in our village fled here from the back. The village was destroyed two days ago. We are now preparing to move again. The uncles in the village went out to find a place first, and we will lag behind for a few days and catch up later."

The proprietress understood it half-listening and half-guessing. Jiang Jiyun didn't know whether her understanding was the same as what he said, but it was fine as long as she didn't doubt it.

"Then listen carefully. Although the cotton-padded jackets here are made of old cotton and are not cheap, they are definitely cheaper than new ones."

Jiang Jiyun asked directly, "How much is a set? A set includes clothes, pants and shoes."

"A set made of cotton costs three dollars. Don't worry about the workmanship and fabric. You can also ask your brother to come over and check it. He will make you satisfied." The proprietress held up three fingers.

"Madam, this is too expensive, isn't it? Three dollars a set is 1,200 copper coins? We want to buy fourteen sets. Can you make less money?"

The lady boss counted on the abacus beads and said, "It can be a little cheaper, but it really can't be much less."

"One thousand copper coins a set." Jiang Jiyun raised a finger.

"That won't do. It's impossible to buy a set for one dollar." The proprietress only saw her one finger and thought Jiang Jiyun was talking about one dollar.

"How about this, I'll charge you thirty-eight dollars and sell all fourteen sets to you." The proprietress said to Jiang Jiyun after calculating the bill.

The little girl frowned and said, "Then give each of them another set of inner clothes."

"No, that would be a big loss for me. Fourteen sets of underwear would cost a lot of money. You are really good at bargaining, girl."

"How about I add two more dollars?"

"That can."

"But add two pairs of socks to each set."

"make a deal!"

Jiang Jiyun turned around and ran out and called Yan Xuyang, "Brother, come over here to pay and get your things."

She saved two dollars today, so she turned to the pancake stand owner and said, "Boss, give me another pancake worth two dollars."

"Okay! But we don't have that many wild vegetables. Can we use shredded radish instead?" The boss answered loudly.

Seeing that Jiang Jiyun and Yan Xuyang nodded in agreement, he quickly asked his wife to go back and get the noodles, and asked his family to bring some shredded radish to help.

The brother and sister were busy in the cloth shop for a long time, and the proprietress even helped them tie the things to their bicycles.

Looking at the busy people at the pancake stall, two old men were making pancakes with smiles on their faces, a middle-aged couple and a girl were standing by the pan making pancakes, and there were two younger boys next to them helping to wrap the pancakes with paper.

"Boss, please keep the two dollars. I'll go to the front to see what's on sale and buy some if I find something suitable."

Yan Xuyang looked at her worriedly and said, "How about I go shopping with you?"

"It's such a small place, and you can walk around it in just a few steps."

Yan Xuyang nodded in agreement. He looked up at the street and could see the end of it from the beginning.

Jiang Jiyun strolled over to buy a lot of seeds. Just as she was about to come out of the seed shop, she saw an acquaintance and a squad of Japanese soldiers outside the door.
