Orphan Girl On Farm Becomes Pillar of Whole Village
Chapter 160 The Head of a New Village
Shiliu and the others were instantly busy.
Su Yunniang walked out the door and saw several people together were busy at the moment,
Bao Xia was sweeping the courtyard with xianglan, Bai Zhi came with a basin and towel to wash Su Yunniang, and shiliu fanned his cattail fan firmly in the kitchenette.
“Let's go to the cotton fields today.” said Su Yunniang.
Bai Zhi handed me a towel: in the morning, I saw the old madam bring some people to the cotton field.
Su Yunniang said with a hint of embarrassment: Yes I overslept.
“the old lady said, it is good for the young lady to sleep more, it is to nourish her body and mind.” Bai Zhi said with a smile: Young lady's skin has improved greatly.
As soon as Su Yunniang put down his chopsticks, someone knocked on the door outside, Xianglan came out for a while and then came back to report: miss, lady, Grandfather Zhao had returned and brought back over twenty orphans.
“well, I'll just see it.” Su Yunniang took warm water to gargle from Baizhi.
Xianglan came out and answered the call, Su Yunniang picked up some books and brought shiliu and the others to the courtyard where Old Zhao lived.
The courtyard was very crowded at the moment, there were quite a few people here, surrounded by more than twenty orphans, and everyone looked a little scared.
"Miss is here." shouted someone.
When Su Yunniang entered, these people naturally stepped aside, and before he could speak, the twenty orphans knelt down, their heads bowed, their shy little bodies, trembling.
"From today onwards, you are our people. You can eat well, wear warm clothes, and learn to craft. Don't be afraid," Su Yunniang said softly.
Suddenly there was a cry, and Su Yunniang followed the direction of the cry, and saw the six or seven-year-old kneeling behind with his mouth open and his face turning blue from crying, he lifted his leg and walked quickly.
The ragged clothes were almost torn apart, the straw sandals he wore only used a few grass sticks to hang on his toes,
barely considered a shoe, his black toes were hugged on the outside, ankles were as thin as a hemp rod, and thin as well as withered body supports and on his neck was a very large head.
This was a severe lack of intake. Seeing him cry with his mouth open, Su Yunniang crouched down: why are you crying? Don't you want to be here?.
“No, no, I was hungry,” the boy sobbed, and his body trembled, as if it was going to faint every once in a while.
Su Yunniang said softly: don't cry, we will go eat now .
The boy sobbed and followed Su Yunniang to return.
“Nona, Baoxia will deliver the letter, let Madame Zhou prepare the porridge for these people first,” Shiliu said.
Su Yunnuan nodded: well.
The old Zhao came: Miss, this is all voluntary, many people from Qingniu County, and it doesn't seem easy to put him.
“Where is the Qi Family Army?” Su Yunniang asked.
Old Zhao shook his head: I don't know, there aren't many people left in Qingniu County. The Qi Family Army, most of them should have already left. After the spring planting, they had to go further, so that the people who came to Longmen Pass could live well.
Su Yunniang also guessed the same thing, after thinking about it, he said: grandfather Zhao, let's let these children eat and drink to taste first, let us, then go to the river to take a shower and change clothes. Whether it is the expert who accepts the disciple or the disciple looking for the expert, let it depend on their will.
“It's okay.” The old Zhao shouted to the children: Everyone is waiting at the gate of the house, eating and drinking to taste before we speak.
Seeing these people following Old Zhao towards his courtyard, Su Yunniang frowned slightly and thought, Is there still hunger outside? it seems like I really want to look for an opportunity to go out and take a look around.
Just a thick porridge, they did not dare to let these children eat too much in one meal, Su Yunniang looked at the mosquito repellent that fell from his hands, and he knew it in his heart.
After these people were full, Su Yunniang would use his time to check if they were sick taking the pulse of these children, and after the pulse was checked, each one was given a worm medicine, and then asked Old Zhao to take them to the river to bathe. Qiao Dayun and the others prepared in change of clothes, at least enough to cover their bodies.
As these children packed up and stood by the river, the wounded retired soldiers were thrilled to see these children, and the voices of the receiving disciples and adopted children kept coming and going.
Shiliu looked at the child hiding in the corner, so he softly said to Su Yunniang: Miss, that child is unwilling to come forward.
Su Yunniang saw that the child in the corner, that child had just cried, so he walked over, crouched down, then asked: do you know your name?.
The boy shook his head.
“Do you remember the names of your family members?” Su Yunniang asked again.
The boy still shook his head.
Is it too small? Think Su Yunniang
Then he asked again: Do you remember how old you are?"
The boy stretched out his hand, thought for a moment then stretched out five fingers then one finger.
Turns out he was six.
"What can a six-year-old learn?" Su Yunniang thought for a moment and said: Can you follow shiliu from now on?
“Follow you? Baik” said the boy timidly.
Su Yunniang smiled: shiliu is mine, following him means following me.
The boy nodded.
“Call you Xiaoliu.” Su Yunniang called out to shiliu and directed him to Xiaoliu: This is your brother shiliu
Xiao Liu pursed his lips: sister shiliu
“Alright, sister Xiao Liu, come with me.” shiliu called Xiao Liu, looking for her a pair of clothes.
He took her to the river to bathe in a large wooden basin. After tidying it up, shiliu smiled: Xiao Liu is a beautiful child. Our young lady is the one who just talked to you. You have to remember that! there are other people as well besides me, There are Baizhi's sisters, Xianglan and Baoxia,
Xiao Liu nodded: sister shiliu, I will not be hungry anymore, right?
"Of course, you can still read and write. Xiao Liu is the best at picking people." Shiliu again held Xiao Liu's hand.
According to the previous rules, Sun Rong recorded everyone in a book and sent it to Su Yunniang.
Su Yunniang opened the book, and Chao Lang and Han Fengyu came to ask to meet him.
In the study room, Su Yunniang finished talking about his idea to a few people, and everyone agreed, no matter what kind of workshop one would build, it would require materials.
Su Yunniang thought of firing the bricks, and asked Chao Lang: uncle Chao, is there a similarity between firing porcelain and firing bricks?.
Chao Lang smiled: Miss, that's a good idea. Let's burn the stone first. The ground to burn bricks was everywhere. It would be easier to build a workshop after having bricks.
“Then please disturb Uncle Chao,” Su Yunniang said again while looking at Han Fengyu: It is better to look for an empty house to try to make wine. Panam Han had to make his own equipment and had to worry about it.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take four students. Miss, are we going to use the new grain or the old grain?" Han Fengyu asked.
Everyone knew that Su Yunniang had food in his hands, and since he could make wine, Han Fengyu was much more careful with his food.
“Use the aged grain, let's lead someone to open the grain warehouse tomorrow and take all the aged grain.” Su Yunniang paused for a moment before saying again: I must choose the village chief. How many uncles can someone suggest?
Chao Lang and Han Fengyu looked at each other, Chao Lang said with a smile: Miss, Zhao Cheng is the most prestigious person among us.
“Grandfather Zhao?” Su Yunniang asked.
