Although the weather is cold, it cannot stop the fiery hearts of every household in Weiyang City. Although some families are still living in tents, they will receive priority in receiving wool quilts and 'black gold' made by textile factories, and their lives are getting better and better. .
In order to make it easier for people in the city to go out to work in the fields, the infrastructure construction team lost no time in building cement roads. There were even horse-drawn carriages to transport people at scheduled times every morning, so they would not be delayed for long on the road.
After the refugees settled here, they looked for opportunities to spread the news and tell their relatives and friends to come to Weiyang City to seek refuge.
Zhang Hu's family is one of them. Chunhua made a pot of rice early in the morning and stood in front of the courtyard gate looking forward to it.
Aunt Zhang looked at her distracted look and said with a smile: "Chunhua, don't be afraid, your father and brother have escaped. Since the news can be delivered to Weiyang City, it means it is not far from us."
Chun Hua is also counting the days, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked for leave from the textile factory today, and is stuck here.
"Mom, ever since I knew what the people who escaped from Anyu City looked like, I couldn't sleep at night. Fortunately, God allowed my father and brother's family to escape. Otherwise, I really regret that I didn't drag them with me. Let’s do it together.”
"Hu Zi also asked for leave and went to pick them up at the city gate. Don't worry. Count the days. We will definitely arrive before noon today. You have to eat something and you will have the strength to greet them later."
"Mom, I don't have the time to deal with it." Just as she was saying this, Chunhua heard Zhang Hu shouting from a distance: "Chunhua! Come out and help!"
Chunhua rushed out in a hurry, but as soon as she reached the threshold, her right shoe flew out. She quickly stopped, picked up the shoe, and stuffed her foot in hastily.
"Dad! Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Chunhua's eyes were sore when she saw her mother's family. She looked at her emaciated father and brother, and didn't see her sister-in-law's voice. She covered her mouth to hold back her sobs, but without asking any more questions, she pulled her father's sleeves tremblingly, "Dad! You are suffering!”
"Good boy, you are all good, so dad won't suffer. It's just Chunfeng who suffers."
Chunhua's brother Chunfeng shook his head and said hoarsely: "Let's go in and talk."
Chunhua felt uncomfortable. Her father Chunxiu was a famous teacher in the town at that time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a great scholar, because a young steward under the city lord fell in love with her. In order to avoid trouble, she married Zhang Hu from Zhangjia Village. , life was pretty good.
Her brother Chunfeng inherited his father's legacy and was also a scholar. He was appreciated by the merchant lady and got married. Now her sister-in-law was missing. Her brother's hands were black and he was so thin that she didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Yes, go in and talk." He said, leading his father and brother into the yard.
"My father-in-law, wash your hands and eat a warm meal." Aunt Zhang stood up awkwardly. She was a little afraid of scholars, so she ran into the kitchen embarrassedly.
Chun Xiu looked at this elegant and warm courtyard and couldn't help but marvel, "Is this really the city lord who asked you to live in it? We have never lived in such a nice courtyard before."
Aunt Zhang was holding two bowls of thick potato and bean sprout porridge, "You have suffered along the way. Eat something quickly to warm your body."
Chun Xiu and Chun Feng, father and son, looked at the sticky grain porridge and couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts, "Grain is precious nowadays, so it's so thick for us..."
"Dad, there is no shortage of food in Weiyang City. Huzi and I are called...'double-earners'. There are more than 100 kilograms of food in the kitchen alone. Food and even vegetables will be distributed at the end of the month. Our family People can survive the winter with plenty to eat!”
Neither father nor son believed their ears. Chunfeng asked in shock: "How much? More than a hundred kilograms? Our family has it. Will it happen again at the end of the month?"
Only now did Chunhua have a smile on her face, "Yes, dad, brother, I let you come here to live a good life!"
"Chunhua, dad and your brother are both scholars. They are weak and are beaten and scolded when working in the fields. They are useless in this troubled world. I am here to drag you down."
"Dad! Weiyang City is not only recruiting people who work in the fields, but also people who can read and write. Let Huzi take you to the recruitment office tomorrow for consultation, so you don't have to suffer anymore."
