Chapter 264 New life (guarantee 1)
"Don't worry, you will have your work. Just arrange it and do whatever you want." Bai Ling looked at them with a smile. Liu Sanhu and Zhang Yong naturally would not be polite.
"By the way, let me tell you that the house I distributed to you uses the latest technology of our great craftsmen. It is equipped with glass as windows. Although the thing is not very expensive, it is not cheap. Be careful in daily life. This time it breaks, I can only buy this glass myself, do you know?"
"In addition, there is a kang in the house. I will come to my house tomorrow and I will teach you how to use it. My house is at the entrance of the village, and I will tell you later." Bai Ling added.
Regarding these, Liu Sanhu and Zhang Yong, who didn't know what glass and kang were, naturally nodded repeatedly.
Until a village appeared in their sight in the distance, Liu Sanhu and the others couldn't help but hold their breath. Although the sky was already dark, they could still see things. One hundred houses stood there in an orderly manner, forming a very small village.
At least it is larger than their Liujiazhuang. You can see on the west side of the village that there is a small river there, which is not big, but this should be the reason why there is such land on both sides of the village.
They quickly entered the village and walked to this place. Liu Sanhu and the others saw that the roads in the village were actually flat, and the houses in the village were all white. I don’t know how to paint them white, but they looked very flat.
It was not until they arrived at their house that they understood what this glass meant. Looking at this transparent, almost as if it did not exist, like glazed glass, it was difficult for both Liu Sanhu and Zhang Yong to believe that this could be used as a window!
Especially for these poor people!
"This is your house in Liu Sanhu, this is your house in Zhang Yong, and the houses are the same. However, the houses are now in an unfinished state, such as courtyard walls, side houses, etc., and there is no construction. After the construction team completes their work, they will make up for you again. Only after all the construction is completed will you need to start paying off the house payment." Bai Ling said.
Liu Sanhu and Zhang Yong both nodded quickly. The conditions were so good. Before they came, they just hoped to have some food to eat. As for the place where they lived, they had never expected... and now... this feeling was better than the place where they lived before! This house was many times better than the dilapidated house he used to be!
"By the way, after you enter the house, there are things that the leader gives to you on the windowsill at the door, and they are all given to you for free." Bai Ling nodded with a smile.
"Okay, you can still see things while the sky is falling. You can pack up and move in. I'll come to you tomorrow."
"Yes!" Zhang Yong and Liu Sanhu hurriedly thanked.
Bai Ling waved his hand and left directly. After Bai Ling left, Zhang Yong looked at the two houses built side by side, about fifty or sixty meters apart, and then turned to Liu Sanhu and bowed: "Brother Sanhu, thank you for bringing us here. We will be neighbors in the future. Please take care of Brother Sanhu."
"Brother Zhang Yong, we are neighbors, and we need your more care." Liu Sanhu also hurriedly said.
"Then let's move things into the house quickly." Zhang Yong nodded.
Liu Sanhu also nodded and said that Zhang Yong's family of three had almost nothing, they were just carrying a few packages on their backs. Obviously, they were even more miserable when they fled. Liu Sanhu had some things at home, and at least a few beds were tattered, but they were still able to use bedding, and they also brought their stoves.
He helped his mother out of the carriage first, and Liu Sanhu tied his horse to the wooden stakes in the next yard. In fact, there was no concept of a yard because even a yard wall was not built.
After getting the three children down, Liu held the youngest child, and then Liu Sanhu walked to his door with some anxiety. It was obvious that the doors were all newly decorated not long ago.
There was no lock on the door. Liu Sanhu reached out and touched the glass next to him. The hand was slightly cool and hard. It was really like crystal, but it was very transparent. You could see the situation in the room.
With a "creaking", Liu Sanhu pushed open the door, then raised his legs into the room, and Liu Sanhu's mother and Liu also entered the room.
This house has the same single-story structure as the house assigned by Bai Ling and the others in the city before. It is open two times when entering. According to later generations, even if it is a restaurant, the back half is a kitchen.
The lower half of the wall is cement, and the upper half is scratched. Gypsum is not a valuable thing for Huo Gang, so it can naturally be taken out to improve the happiness of residents.
This room... is much better than they thought.
"This... Dad, is this our new home?" Liu Sanhu's son couldn't help but ask.
"Yes... this is our new home." Liu Sanhu nodded heavily. He didn't know what to say. Everything in front of him was much better than he thought.
Liu Sanhu soon discovered the neatly placed things next to him. When he saw these things, Liu Sanhu knew what the village chief said and what the leader gave them.
First of all, there is an oil lamp, and there is a pot of lamp oil.
There is also a sickle, a sickle made of fine iron, an iron bucket and an iron basin!
There is also a bag of grain! A bag of flour! Liu Sanhu carried it for a while and knew that the flour was at least two buckets, which was enough for their family to eat for seven days. After entering the house next door, Liu Sanhu found the village chief’s call for the fire kang... although he didn’t know why it was called the fire kang.
But this thing is good for sleeping people, and even a thick layer of hay is laid on it. This... Liu Sanhu felt unbelievable for a moment, because... this leader... was so thoughtful that even the hay was thought of, were they afraid that they would feel uncomfortable when they fell asleep?
Liu Sanhu felt a little sore in his nose. It was not that he wanted to cry, but that the leader was the highest leader of the entire Han Dynasty. In the past, even the townsmen would not look at them like the poor, except when collecting taxes and corvee labor, they would not look at them at other times, let alone prepare such detailed things for them.
Not only Liu Sanhu, but also Liu Sanhu's mother and Liu couldn't believe the scene in front of them. Such an environment was like the legendary place where the gods lived! They never dared to think about it before!
"This...this..." Liu Sanhu's mother didn't know what to say, she just left tears in her eyes for endlessly. After these two sentences, she turned around and grabbed Liu Sanhu directly, and spoke seriously, "Son, you do something for your mother tomorrow."
"Mom, tell me." Liu Sanhu hurriedly spoke.
"Mom has a copper bracelet. You know, it's not worth much. That's the only thought left to mom after your father left. It can be exchanged for a few cents when it is taken out. Tomorrow, you will find Village Chief Bai and ask Village Chief Bai if there are any literate gentlemen in the nearby city. Please write a tablet of Chief Huo for your mother."
"A god like Chief Huo who descends to earth should be worshipped day and night, so that he can live a long life for a thousand years." Liu Sanhu's mother said seriously in an old voice.
"Yes... I'll do it tomorrow." Liu Sanhu nodded seriously, and he did not object.
That night, the two families slept in the new house full of hope.
The next day, it was dawn outside, and Liu Sanhu woke up. He quickly sat up from the kang and turned around. The whole family was sleeping neatly on the kang, looking at the three children sleeping against him, with a smile on their faces while asleep.
The youngest one did not wake up from crying in the middle of the night because of hunger, and the rare one slept until dawn all night.
Liu Sanhu did not disturb them, but carefully got off the kang with clothes.
However, his actions woke Liu and his mother up, but none of the three of them spoke, put on their clothes, and the three adults quickly left the house.
When he walked into the yard, the sky in the east had already brightened. At this time, Liu Sanhu realized how bright the glass window was.
"I'll go get water, my mother, please pack up your things." Liu Sanhu said.
"Um!"
The river was on the west side of their village. Liu Sanhu and the others saw it last night. They left the house with buckets and Liu Sanhu walked directly to the riverside. The path leading to the riverside had been reserved, not far from the riverside. When they walked to the riverside, Liu Sanhu first reached out to wash his face with the river water in the river.
The cold river water made him awake, and Liu Sanhu picked up the water and drank two more sips. The sweet river water made Liu Sanhu feel energetic. He looked down at the iron bucket in his hand.
The iron barrel is really solid. I really don’t know why the leader is willing to use such a good iron barrel to them. They just need to use wooden barrels.
However, what Liu Sanhu didn't know was that for Huo Gang now, wood is really scarce than steel.
After a bucket of water was fed, Liu Sanhu was about to carry it back, and footsteps came from behind him. Liu Sanhu turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yong.
Both of them greeted him with a smile, and then Liu Sanhu quickly fetched a bucket of water and went back first. In just one night, the smiles on the two of them had become completely different. The original sorrows and worries had been left behind by them.
Because what awaits them is a new and beautiful new life.
When the sun just rose, Liu Sanhu and the others in the village arrived at Bai Ling's house. At this time, Liu Sanhu and the others realized that there were only 7 of them in Yumen Village.
