PFC Chapter 914 Divide things
Chapter 914 Divide things
Uncle Wu took the pre-distributed booklets and began calling out names, asking each family to come forward and collect their items.
Before long, it was Old Man Zhuang's turn.
When he went up, his fifth uncle gave him a piece of almost everything.
They even picked out several large pieces of silver and jewelry for him from the refugees.
In Uncle Wu's opinion, no matter if it's gold, silver or anything else, the bigger the item, the more valuable it is.
Old Zhuang did not refuse.
He knew that these things were the token of affection from Uncle Wu and the other villagers, and that the two children deserved them.
When everything was sorted, the various items filled two large bags.
In addition to the small half-bag of grain he originally brought, he couldn't carry it all by himself.
Fortunately, there were many people from Manager Wu's family who helped carry it back.
When they returned, Sun Yue had already tidied up the entire yard.
Even the broken door to his house was covered with tarpaulin.
Pushing open the door, I found that Sun Yue had already fallen asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He pulled the neatly folded quilt from the kang (a heated brick bed) over and gently covered her with it.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he quietly scooped a bowl of porridge from the pot.
I sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and slowly finished my drink.
After finishing the hot porridge, I felt a bit warmer.
He remembered the stoves in the stables, several of which had been kicked askew by the refugees last night.
So he took his tools to the stable and started repairing the stove.
When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang woke up, it was almost noon.
The two slept for quite a long time and were still feeling tired when they woke up.
She took out two more water pouches, one for herself and one for Qin Lang.
He gulped down most of the water in the water sac before getting up and putting on his cotton-padded coat.
As soon as the two stepped outside, they smelled the aroma of sauerkraut stewed with pork bones.
When I ran into Old Man Zhuang's house, I saw him and Sun Yue busy by the stove.
Seeing that the two were awake, he waved to them.
"Qingqing, I've warmed some water for you on the kang (heated brick bed)."
You went to fetch the basin, and you and Xiao Lang washed your hands and went to wait on the kang (heated brick bed).
My big bone is almost done cooking; it's been burnt all morning, and the meat is all mushy and burnt.
It tastes absolutely delicious!
Lu Qingqing swallowed hard, smelling the aroma of meat filling the room.
"I smelled it as soon as I stepped out of the house, the meat smells so good!"
Hearing this, Old Zhuang felt a little less tired.
"It smells good, you guys must have been exhausted yesterday."
I need to have a good meal today!
As he spoke, he addressed Sun Yue, who was sitting by the stove tending the fire:
"Xiaoyue, you go wash your hands too. I can do it myself here."
Sun Yue glanced at the steaming pot and thought the meat should be almost ready.
He answered and went to wash up.
Before long, Old Man Zhuang brought a bowl of golden-yellow cornbread to the table.
Soon, a large pot of steaming hot sauerkraut stew with pork bones was brought out.
At his command, four pairs of chopsticks simultaneously reached into the basin.
Lu Qingqing held a bone and gnawed on it with great relish.
The other three people at the table all had the same expression.
When the meal was over, only some leftover pickled cabbage scraps were left in the bowl.
Even the vegetable soup was eaten up by the group, who dipped it in flatbread.
The four of them, burping contentedly, lay sprawled on the kang (a heated brick bed), unusually not reading any books.
I was busy all night yesterday, and although I slept all morning, I still haven't recovered much.
They chatted casually.
Before long, snoring could be heard from inside the room.
Old Zhuang had been busy all night and tidied up all morning.
Beside her, Sun Yue was already dozing off.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were still in good spirits, so after covering them with blankets, she went out.
There was still a lot of blood in the damaged trap next to the courtyard wall.
In the morning, Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue only dragged the corpses out of the room.
The spikes and other such things inside haven't been installed yet.
Lu Qingqing brought over the tools and started working with Qin Lang.
Just as they were tidying up, Yan Xu arrived with his men.
Lu Qingqing looked at the person and realized she didn't recognize him.
Bai Song had many soldiers under her command, but she could only vaguely recognize most of them.
If you were to name them, there are only about ten in total.
At this moment, she raised her hand to greet the two of them.
Yan Xu saw them busy and came over to take a look.
He greeted Qin Lang, who was in the trap, before explaining his purpose.
The soldier he brought was the one who had been nearly slashed by the refugees during the early morning attack, but was saved by Qin Lang.
Qin Lang was surprised that Yan Xu had actually brought people over.
Seeing Yan Xu's serious expression, he didn't refuse any further.
Lu Qingqing led the two into the house, brewed a pot of tea, and sat down to chat for a while.
During the conversation, Yan Xu mentioned Wan Yu, the spy they had captured.
They say the woman went a bit crazy after they brought her back in the morning.
Bai Song originally wanted to teach her a lesson.
Seeing her crazy, self-destructive behavior, I couldn't be bothered to pay her any more attention.
Many soldiers thought she was attractive and wanted to take advantage of her.
Little did anyone know that Wanyu's madness worsened whenever she saw a man.
Several soldiers were scratched and injured by her!
The soldiers felt that keeping such a person around was a waste of food.
After consulting with Bai Song, they simply threw the man out of the village.
According to the guards, the woman was only wearing a thin shirt in the dead of winter, and she ran away crying and laughing at the same time.
After finishing talking about the woman, Yan Xu brought up the funeral they had held at noon.
This funeral was specially arranged by Bai Song for his fallen brothers.
Last night's attack by refugees resulted in the deaths of more than thirty soldiers.
As for those who were injured, the number was countless!
It can be said that not only were the villagers suffering greatly, but the soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
Yan Xu sighed as he spoke.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Lu Qingqing mentioned that the New Year was just two days away and asked if they had prepared any New Year's goods.
Yan Xu's eyes lit up when he heard about New Year's goods.
Previously, he had always followed Bai Song around, eating and drinking for free, and knew best about Old Man Zhuang's cooking skills.
The New Year's goods prepared for this must be of high quality.
He was thinking that he would definitely come over to visit during the Chinese New Year.
