The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

When Jiang Ningning heard this, she asked, "Why, do you have this idea?"

If this were possible, it would indeed make this idea come true.

Grandpa Jiang and his men were shy, so naturally their faces flushed. "This time, at least, it's been forty-one years. Before, we only had to flee famine every few years. The clan is really tired, especially us old bones."

Sun immediately said happily, "That's perfect. Why don't you settle down in our village? We'll take you back and tell the village chief. That way, all our clans can be together. How wonderful!"

At this time, Jiang Shengcai also stopped crying, smiled honestly and said: "Second uncle, you two should follow us to Zaoshu Village. The clans will be together in the future, so we can at least look after each other. Other people's clans are also together, not that far away."

Grandpa Jiang Er and the others naturally wanted the clan to be together. Seeing that Jiang Shengcai and the others were sincere, and that they really needed this help, they were in the most difficult time. So they stopped being stubborn and said with red faces:

“Then I’ll trouble you.

But, we must not really live in your house. There are too many of us, and we really cannot trouble you like that. We can just build a thatched hut in the village for us to live in. When your brothers come back with their wages, we will build a house.

Otherwise, we will stay in this soup kitchen and will never go to your village."

All the able-bodied members of the tribe were hired to work, and they would get their wages sooner or later.

Now the Jiang family members are all old, weak and sick, and Jiang Ningning and the others also know it.

Seeing that the Jiang family members were so insistent, Jiang Ningning and the others had no choice but to agree.

It took hiring several horse-drawn carriages to pick up all the Jiang family members from the porridge shed.

We talked a lot along the way.

Jiang Ningning and the others then realized that there were more than twenty households in the Jiang family in the north, with a total of more than two hundred people.

However, many people died of starvation and disease along the way to Dengping County. There were also conflicts because others wanted to steal their things, and many people were killed and injured in the fights between the two sides. Now there are only 116 people left.

There were thirty of them, including the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the children. The others who were hired to work were naturally eighty-six people.

Jiang Ningning and the others naturally asked the yamen runners where the eighty-six people were hired, and sent someone to tell the eighty-six people to bring their elderly, children, etc. to Zaoshu Village.

The eighty-six people worked in various places in Dengping County. When they heard that they had relatives in Dengping County and were going to settle down in Zaoshu Village where their relatives lived, they were naturally very happy.

Naturally, everyone will feel more at ease at home and can be more at ease when being hired to work.

Some had already received some wages, so they asked the person who went to tell the news to take all the wages back and give them to their families.

When the people of Zaoshu Village heard that Jiang Shengcai was not the son of Jiang Yingen and his wife, they were filled with indignation and could not help cursing:

"How can there be such a beast in this world? He took so much money from others and treated their children like that! Besides, even if Shengcai is not their biological child, he is still their eldest brother's child!"

The people of Zaoshu Village naturally knew why Jiang Facai and his family suddenly sold their land and ran away, and they all said, "No good will come to such people! God bless them!"

When Village Chief Chen heard that the Jiang family was going to settle in Zaoshu Village, he came here without waiting for Jiang Ningning and the others to bring the Jiang family to find him.

Regarding the issue of settling down, generally speaking, during famine years, the policy is very lenient. As long as the procedures are complete, it can be done quickly.

The village head also heard about it and naturally came over.

Now that the village chief and the head of the village are here, Jiang Ningning and the others naturally don’t have to worry about settling down.

There was also the matter of setting up a straw hut for temporary residence. Jiang Ningning and the others really couldn't bear to see these elderly people, children and patients living in a straw hut.

But even after arriving in the village, Grandpa Jiang and his family still refused to live in Jiang Ningning and their new home.

Said there were so many of them.

He also said that so many people have been hired away, and when those hired people come back, there will be even more people, and the house will definitely have to be built sooner or later.

When the village chief heard about this, he hurriedly marked out the foundations for more than twenty households for Grandpa Jiang and his family to build their houses in the future.

Sun Hongxiu and Sun Shifei were already living in Jiang Ningning's old house, so Jiang Ningning and her family had no choice but to let Second Grandpa Jiang and the others stay in Xiao Yan's old house for one night on the grounds that they couldn't finish building it in one day.

Because Grandpa Jiang and the others refused to live in Xiao Yan's new house.

Grandpa Jiang and the others naturally knew that it would take at least two days to build a straw hut, and they also thought that it was an old house and it should be fine for them to stay there for one night, so they agreed to stay in Xiao Yan's old house for one night.

The Xiao family was naturally happy that Jiang Ningning and her family had so many more members, but they had no extra empty houses, otherwise they could have given Grandpa Jiang Er and his family a temporary place to live.

But before the Xiao family started the soy product business, they made a lot of adobe bricks in their spare time and dried them in the sun, so that if they wanted to build a house one day, they could use them directly without having to make them again.

Now, of course, they should all be taken out and given to Grandpa Jiang and his men first, so that they can use them to build houses.

At first, Grandpa Jiang and his family naturally refused to accept it, but when they heard that at worst they could just wait until the weather was better next year and then make bricks and return them to the owner, they finally accepted it with many thanks.

In addition to giving Jiang Erye and his family enough food, clothing, charcoal and other things to keep their entire family going through the winter, Jiang Ningning and his family also gave them another three hundred taels of silver.

Grandpa Jiang Er and the others refused to take it, so he said it was a loan to them. Then they accepted it, but not that much. They only took thirty taels, saying that was enough.

Jiang Ningning and the others didn't think it was enough. They had to build houses, even if they were just adobe houses with thatched roofs. But they had to build more than 20 of them. Plus, there were always some expenses for daily life.

In the end, they couldn't resist Jiang Ningning and the others' insistence, and finally accepted the hundred taels.

All the eye sockets were red again.

They knew that Jiang Ningning and the others were sincerely helping their fellow tribesmen.

When Jiang Ningning and the others said that all the clan members aged six to eighteen, regardless of gender, could go to the Jiang Xiao School in the village to study for free, Jiang Eryeye and the others became even more furious and almost knelt down to Jiang Ningning and the others.

Jiang Ningning and the others hurriedly helped them up and didn't let them kneel down.

But Grandpa Jiang Er and the others finally let the children kowtow to Jiang Ningning and the others before they stopped.

The straw hut was not built until the next day. Fortunately, Jiang Ningning and the others joined in, and many people in the village also helped, so it was built so sturdy and large, with doors and windows.

It's winter now, so you have to set it up like this. Otherwise, even if you have charcoal to keep warm, you may freeze to death.
