364. New tenant

By the way, this person has his own aspirations. Among these Kunlun people, the same is true. Some people only focus on working as servants, some people want to go to workshops, some people think that it is easy to live a grinding needle every day, and some people want to farm.

Since planting sweet potatoes twice, some Kunlun people have found that farming is much safer than hunting. They sow and cultivate in the fields and gain harvests a few months later. At that moment, the happiness and satisfaction in their hearts were incomparable.

There was a Kunlun family who was grinding needles with locals. I heard that there was a tenant who bought a yard in the city on the side of the officialdom of the government. After the autumn harvest this year, their whole family would move to the city to live and would not be tenants in the future.

After hearing about this, the Kunlun man hurried to the county government office and said that their family was going to work as a tenant in the area of ​​​​Jiantian, and that they would be able to work as a tenant in order to live.

When the officials in the county government heard what he said, they felt a little overwhelmed because the magistrate Luo was generous and treated the tenants well. So even if the tenants in their county had their own land came out in time, they could easily find new people to accept it.

Between the new and old people, how to hand over the houses, fields, firewood, and grass? Logically speaking, as long as they discuss it privately, the county government will just assemble the throne, and the rent will be collected or collected, without any impact.

At this moment, a Kunlun people suddenly came, saying that they were going to be a tenant, oh... Then, do they care about the transfer of the middle or ignore it? Also, will these Kunlun people farm?

The official wanted to go back to him very much, and considered that these Kunlun people were Apu's tribe and Apu was Luo Yong's disciple, so he asked the Kunlun people to go back first. Yan was that other people had come to the county government to say that they would go to take over this shortage. In the end, who would be asked to go? The county government government had to check again.

In fact, this Kunlun people came the earliest, and there were others who said that afternoon, but they were all behind this Kunlun people.

The official asked Luo Yong about this matter. It just so happened that this field was Luo Yong, not the county magistrate and the magistrate.

Luo Yong heard about this before dinner, so after dinner that day, he went to the place where the people in Kunlun gathered.

These Kunlun people are now familiar with Luo Yong. Some people have heard of the great achievements of Luo Coffin Board from the locals, and they are a little admiring and awe of this young man.

The children would not think so much, because Luo Yong had sent them maltose several times before, and as soon as he came over, a group of children of all sizes were circling around him.

Some children are cheerful and laugh and play in groups, just like most children of this age, but they still look thinner than ordinary children, with bigger heads, slender hands and feet, like numb stalks.

There are also some children with quiet personality and some who are particularly timid, but no matter how timid they are, in this era when there are few sweet times throughout the year, there are several children who can withstand the temptation of maltose.

These children stood not far or near, looking at you with anticipation and timid expression. Luo Yong couldn't stand this, and immediately took out a string of copper coins from his arms and gave each of the children one.

These Kunlun slaves got the copper coins and cheered and headed to the street. Their little arms and legs ran like numb stalks.

Luo Yong smiled, greeted the Kunlun people on both sides, and then went to see the Kunlun people who said they wanted to be a tenant.

Luo Yong asked the Kunlun people why they wanted to be tenants, whether life in this city was not good, or were there any unaccustomedness to being unaccustomed to it.

After learning that the Kunlun man did not want to be a tenant for these reasons, but because he prefers labor in the fields compared to work for others, and his wife obviously had the same idea as him, Luo Yong thought about it and agreed.

"When I went there before, I saw that there was a abandoned yard there. You can go and move that yard in the next few days."

"In the next few months, your family will have to grind needles to earn living expenses while learning to farm. The farming here is not as simple as growing sweet potatoes in the wild before. I will ask Yao Weng and others to teach you the work of grinding needles, and also get it from him."

After receiving Luo Yong's promise, the Kunlun man was very happy. He made an appointment with a few young and strong tribes in the morning and hurriedly went to Zhitian Village to repair a house.

When he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the officer guarding the gate. Yan was ordered by the county magistrate to arrange someone to lead the way, and then he had to go to the cement workshop to receive two loads of cement. The county magistrate Luo gave it to them and asked them to use it to wipe the walls and ground.

The officers who led the way drove a ox cart and sent them all the way to Zhitian Village, and introduced them to Yao Weng and others, so that they could take some care of the Kunlun family.

Yao Weng and Apu had some friendship. In the past, Apu offended a large cannibal caravan in order to save two Kunlun slave boys in his clan. The situation was very tense at that time, and Apu and his friends were taken to Yao Weng's house and hid.

These people in the tribe had heard Ah Pu talk about this before, so although this was the first time I met Yao Weng, they all showed a lot of trust and respect for him.

Yao Weng took them to the abandoned yard. The yard was not very dilapidated, but was used by almost everyone nearby to put firewood. At this time, he moved his own firewood for his family, made room for cleaning, and then repaired the walls. He removed the weeds in the yard, changed the roof, and applied cement, and soon he could live in people.

The Kunlun family who was coming to be a tenant had a total of five people, a tall and thin man in his forties who looked a little vicissitudes, and his wife who was also very thin and vicissitudes. There was also a son and a daughter under him, and the youngest son was already in his teens.

Their daughter looked in her twenties, with a boy of seven or eight years old. Her husband died of a war before Apu had returned to their tribe. She had a young son who died of illness while they passed by the Great Seal Kingdom.

Young children die before they grow up, which is also a common thing in their tribe. Children are so fragile that they cannot defeat the disease or the wild beasts, so they always die easily.

When she was still very young, there were other brothers and sisters in the family, but only she and her younger brother were still alive. So when her youngest son died of illness, she did not feel sad for too long. Her mother told her that this was the pain that every woman had to bear, and she believed so.

It was not until they came to Changle County and slowly integrated into the lives of locals that she realized that it was not like that.

The children here run around in a safe city every day. No beast would hurt them, and she had never heard of any child who died of illness.

County Magistrate Luo also asked local doctors to fed acne for them. Locals said that cowpox can exorcise evil spirits and can bless their children to grow up safely.

It would be great if her other child could come here alive...

The tall and thin black woman held the bag in one hand and her child in the other, standing in front of a strange farmyard, watching the place where they were about to start a new life.

"Come in." Her mother stood in the yard and waved to her.

"Yeah." She then led her son in.

Although it was the first time to meet, it looked really good, very much like a home. It would be great if her husband was here too. When she stepped into the yard, she couldn't help but think like this again.

Weng Yao brought them mixed noodles and a large bowl of stew. Yan said that the family had walked so far, so they must be hungry at this time. They ate these things first to make their stomachs, and then cooked dinner after they were all packed inside and outside the courtyard.

The bowl of mixed vegetables was very fragrant, and a little smoked bacon was added. The two boys who were growing up at home started swallowing when they smelled the aroma of the vegetables. Since County Magistrate Luo refused to deliver food to them, her parents rarely bought them any good things to eat in order to save money.

But they are right. This time they moved, they used all the money they saved before.

After eating these meals, the father of the family asked the women to stay at home, and he took two boys to Yao Weng's field and helped them.

Later, some women and children came to visit and saw what they lacked. If there were too many families in their homes, they would come out one or two, including baskets and pottery jars, which were not very valuable.

When night fell, the people who went to the ground came back one after another, and every household started to cook dinner, and the village suddenly became lively.

Someone sent them hot dishes. Seeing that his family was eating simple, he knew that they didn't bring much from the city.

But there is nothing rare about this. These Kunlun people came to them from all the way. It would be great if they could save their lives. There would be no more wealth.

These tenants were not much better than these Kunlun people when they were sad in the past. I heard that their male relatives had just gone to help Yao Weng's family get into the fields. It was really a good thing. If you just live here with peace of mind in the future, your life will always get better and better.

These people talked so much that the yard was like a festival, and there were also people who came to their house with their rice bowls, eating and watching the fun.

This is a Kunlun man, men have seen him before, but this is the first time women have seen him. It turns out that this Kunlun child has such a big forehead, his hands and feet are too thin, his slap is quite big, and his feet are also big. When he grows up, he will definitely be tall. Those who farm must be strong and have great strength and hard work.

So in this way, the Kunlun family lived in Zhitian Village because his family was arranged by the Magistrate Luo and Yao Weng's family was taken care of. If these families in the village were bullied, they would definitely not bully them, and they would not dare to do so.

With these big black-skinned men having a very good temper, the cotton fields in their village have begun to be the most important thing in the past two days. It was the time of busyness that they would go and work carefully. They worked hard all day and did nothing.

However, their family is still even more closest. When they come back from farm work for a day, the two families often light a fire together to grind needles to chat about family matters, sometimes in Yao Weng's yard, and sometimes in Kunlun people's yard.

The daughter-in-law of Yao Weng's family also told the couple of Kunlun people about the gossip in the village, which made them laugh, and from these things, they also felt the difference between the locals and the Kunlun people.

After a while, they were still sitting together to grind needles on the evening. After it was dark, they lit a fire as usual. Yao Weng's son asked the children at home to close the yard and then went out of the house to get a few corn cobs.

Their children were in a hurry, but the people in Kunlun didn't know what they were doing.

He peeled the corn cobs one by one, inserted them on branches as thick as his fingers, and dipped them in a stone pottery bowl, smearing something on it.

"This is maltized water, so sweet." The child of the Yao family explained to the two Kunlun boys.

"What is this to do?" asked the smaller Kunlun boy.

“Grilled corn is delicious.”

"When I was in spring this year, I planted dozens of corn plants early."

"You don't know that corn likes hot weather, so it's hard to handle it if it's grown too early."

"I will freeze to death with an inch of late spring."

"There are also people in the village who planted them early, but the dozens of them in my family were the earliest."

"The people in the city also like to eat it. I, Aweng, will go to the city to sell corn tomorrow. At this time, one of the tender corn can be sold for one or two cents."

“That’s right.”

"Go and go, let alone the slightest thing, each person takes it and bake it." Yao Weng's eldest son scolded, asking someone to eat something, but there is no price to talk about.

Several children cheered, went to get a corn, and squatted beside the fire and roasted it.

The tender corn was roasted on the fire, and the corn fragrance and the sweet aroma of maltose made the children drool.
