My delicate husband
Chapter 55 Brother Xia's unexpected visit
Lan An was not surprised by Brother Xia's arrival. After all, he obviously had a special relationship with the county magistrate. However, Lan An was somewhat unwelcome to his arrival.
"Angel, you don't mind my coming, do you?"
"Brother Xia, it's too late for me to mind."
Shopkeeper Xia didn't expect Lan An to be so direct, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.
"Brother Xia, if you have something to say, just speak up."
"Anger, you won't even invite me in?"
"Brother Xia, please stay at the gate. I know there is a plague in the county government office."
"Okay, I just want to ask you, what are you going to do with the over 4,000 refugees in Yunling County now?"
"I think I've mentioned this before. Besides, this is a policy question, so it's not appropriate for Brother Xia to ask me."
"Then I'll go talk to Brother Mo. I'm also curious about his opinion."
"Then you should talk to me."
Brother Xia explained the specific situation of Yunling County, and Lan An looked at Brother Xia with some surprise.
“Brother Xia handled things very well, otherwise more people would have died.
The proposals made by the county magistrate and the village heads before were very good, but they should not be too coercive.
After the quarantine is over, Brother Xia can introduce the various villages in Yunling County to the refugees and let them make their own choices. He can also explain the number of people each village is willing to accept.
In fact, marriage still depends on mutual consent. It is best to gather all suitable people together. If there is an idea, the county magistrate will directly grant the marriage and reward 300 coins for each married couple.
The same goes for children. Each family willing to adopt them will be given one or two taels of silver, and two acres of wasteland. I believe everyone will be happy.
Of course, the best solution is to build a unified shelter. I can give you the design and build a shelter in every village so that refugees will have a place to live.
Of course, these are not free, I will write to you with the details when the time comes."
"Anger is indeed a wonderful person."
"Brother Xia took all the refugees to wash and clean themselves, and burned their old clothes to prevent another plague. The children's hair was also shaved to prevent lice.
Of course, we can also tell each merchant to cooperate. I think Brother Xia should understand the specific cooperation, but it is just a combination of kindness and force. Who doesn't care about reputation? "
The two talked for a while, and after all matters were finalized, Manager Xia left.
"An An, why have you been out for so long?"
"Brother Xia came over and we had a brief conversation."
When Brother Xia returned to the county town, he felt that Lan An's method was feasible and planned to tell County Magistrate Wu the good news, but he was turned away. He didn't care.
Brother Xia randomly selected several bathhouses and garment shops and had friendly exchanges with their owners. It was very good and the results made Brother Xia very satisfied.
These refugees came from the south and traveled for more than half a month. They were frightened every day and did not have enough to eat. They all looked pale and thin.
The adults all had numb expressions on their faces. They had just experienced life and death, and had escaped death. On the road of escape, they dared not fall behind, as falling behind would mean death. Of course, some beautiful boys and women also suffered some inhuman treatment in order to survive. Although life was difficult, everyone still wanted to live.
The children were all very timid and did not dare to cry no matter how scared they were. It was the first time they knew what a two-legged sheep was. They had also seen adults eating two-legged sheep. Those who survived had their parents sacrifice their lives for them.
Because of the long journey, everyone was covered in mud on their bodies, faces and hair. They were dirty and looked even dirtier than beggars. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot and the smell was not particularly bad. However, most people had lice on their hair. Brother Xia took a look and made a decision immediately. He ordered people to cut the hair of all adults to shoulder length and shave the heads of all minors.
After the situation was settled, Brother Xia asked the constables to take the refugees to the bathhouse for a bath. There were too many people, so they went in batches. All the bathhouses in the county were full, and the bathhouse owner was busy for several days with tears in his eyes.
After all the refugees have washed and changed their clothes, the situation will be presentable. Brother Xia nodded with satisfaction. I think Yan Chu will not blame him so much.
In fact, most villages are ranked in order. After all, each village has a history of more than 20 to 30 years, and the villagers have lived in the village since its establishment. Everyone knows each other well and is more at ease.
Lotus Village is not so bad. Several families have moved in over the years, and the villagers are relatively accepting. However, they cannot accept that there are more outsiders than native villagers in the village.
"Anger, can't we go out and play?"
"Sure, take Xiao Hui out for a walk too."
After getting permission, Guo Ge'er immediately left home with Xiao Hui. It was the first time that Guo Ge'er was locked up at home for such a long time, and he was more or less uncomfortable.
The villagers of Lianhua Village saw that a week had passed and the county had not sent anyone over, nor had the village chief been called to a meeting. So they all relaxed and resumed the lively online life. Aunts sat together in groups of three or four to chat and do needlework.
The Zhang family's kitchen was completely completed, the small warehouse was built, and the toilet was also taken care of. Lan Euan was very satisfied with the finishing. Everyone was still very curious about the Zhang family's toilet, and after it was completed, everyone went to see it again and again.
Lan'an originally wanted to treat the workers to a meal, but after thinking about it, he decided to give each of them an extra 100 coins as wages, and agreed to treat them to a warm-house meal after the main house was built. Everyone had no objection and was very happy to get the extra coins.
The peaceful days were broken again. Someone from the county government came and asked the village chief to attend a meeting. Lan An was not as nervous as before. Brother Xia was a decisive man and would not be soft-hearted, so he was not so worried anymore.
The corn in the space was ripe, and Lan Euan secretly cooked two to eat, one for him and one for Zhang Xiaomo. As expected, Zhang Xiaomo liked it very much.
"An An, what is this yellow thing? It's sweet and delicious."
"This is corn, Brother Xiaomo. It's also delicious when used in soup. Do you want to eat it? I'll make it for you today."
"An An, you must remember not to let others know this, otherwise you will be in danger."
"I know, don't worry, I'll secretly give it to you next time."
"An An is so nice."
A day later, the village chief came back and brought some news that was neither good nor bad. The villagers of Lotus Village could now accept it calmly.
"The county magistrate gave us 30 taels of silver and told us to build the resettlement housing within three days. As for how to build the resettlement housing, the county government will send someone to provide guidance tomorrow. I'm holding a meeting today to ask for everyone's opinions on where to choose the foundation of the resettlement housing. There are still more than a dozen empty houses in the village. We should clean them up and prepare them for the refugees to move in."
No one had any particular objection to this arrangement, as it was better than forcing everyone to live in the villagers' homes.
Lan An is now concerned about Zhang Xiaomo's medicinal bath. He feels that Zhang Xiaomo's medicinal bath is getting more and more painful, and his face is getting paler and paler after the bath, but Zhang Xiaomo is holding on and doesn't even dare to let Lan An know that he is vomiting blood.
Now after soaking, he doesn't even have the strength to lift his hands. He feels very weak. Although Lan An took good care of him, Zhang Xiaomo still lost weight. He has not had much appetite these days and occasionally vomits, which makes Lan An very anxious.
"Brother Xiaomo, you vomited again today. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, An An, don't worry."
"You've lost weight again. It's hard to gain a little weight."
"I'm also afraid that An An will dislike me for gaining weight."
"How could that be? I like Brother Xiaomo no matter what he becomes."
"Then why did An An stare at my face when we first met?"
Lan An is a person who is obsessed with looks. The people he is willing to interact with are all good-looking. But apart from Zhang Xiaomo, there is really no one who makes him excited at first sight. It is really hard to describe this feeling.
The resettlement houses in Lianhua Village were built very quickly. The village chief has been very tired these days. He feels that he has experienced more this year than in the past thirty years. Alas, the world is too chaotic and the people are suffering too much.
