Mr. Jiang swallowed and explained: "I have the same household registration as my eldest son, but he left me behind when we fled, so I came with my second son."

"What about another one?"

The guard took the household registration, raised his head and asked again.

Mr. Jiang was so nervous that his palms were sweating, "This is my second son's son. He hasn't had time to register with the government yet, so he's not here."

This situation is still very common, but the one they have is fake, and it may still be a wanted criminal.

At this time, the little wanted criminal poked his head out of the small window of the carriage, his long eyelashes fluttering and blinking.

Seeing that the guard was still dragging his feet, Jiang Li took out a few taels of broken silver and put it in Mr. Jiang's hand.

The old man understood and sighed silently. Sure enough, he still had to spend money.

After giving the guard money, the guard relented and said, "Okay, let's go in, but let me tell you, if you can't settle here, it's useless to enter the city."

Jiang Songshu caught Jiang Li's look, stepped forward and asked flatteringly: "Brother, how is the situation here in Yunzhou City? We are new here, so please give us some advice."

The guard looked across Jiang Songshu at the carriage behind him, and then looked at the clothes of the people. "You don't look like you are very rich. It's difficult to settle in the city, but..."

"But what about it?" Jiang Songshu asked closely.

"The government has already arranged a place for you. There are some villages near Yunzhou City that are relatively sparsely populated. You can go there to have a look, buy some land, build a house, and then find a landlord to rent some fields for farming. You can still live a good life. If you can survive, it would be better if you could buy land for farming."

The guards sincerely gave answers to a few people.

Later, after inquiries from Mr. Jiang and Jiang Songshu, they recommended several villages.

"Thank you, brother. If it weren't for him, we would probably be like headless flies. We'll wait until we get a firm footing before inviting him over for a drink."

It's not in vain that Jiang Songshu went out to eat and drink with a group of friends, and his talking skills were still better than Jiang Youli's.

Guard Chen at the city gate was very happy to be coaxed, and he only felt that Jiang Songshu was quite capable of doing things.

The villages recommended by Chen Huwei were all outside the city, but all the money to get into the city was spent, so Jiang Li decided to go into the city to have a look.

"There are a large number of refugees coming here behind us. If we live outside the city, the risk is still relatively high. But if we live in the city, as Chen Wewei said, we may not be able to afford the expenses in this city. rise."

Mr. Jiang also agreed. He looked back at the little wanted criminal, and then looked at Jiang Li.

Both of them knew that there was still a hot potato to deal with.

"Grandpa, Ah Li, of the three villages Chen Huwei just mentioned, I think Yujia Village is the best, with a small population and a lot of land. Although most of them are mountains and forests, we can rent them. Let's rent a mountain forest and use it when the time comes. Come raise chickens.”

Jiang Songshu has some ideas.

"I think Zhaojia Village is better. Didn't you listen to what the guard just said? Yujia Village has only one surname, which is the most exclusive. Moreover, Zhaojia Village is all paddy fields. Your grandfather is an expert in the fields. Your grandfather is the best at farming. , raise chickens, who here knows how to raise chickens!"

Jiang Youli said disdainfully.

Mr. Jiang looked at his son angrily. The second son was not much better than the eldest son. He was like this, and the son was still thinking about finding a job for him.

Although he himself is also a restless person.

But that didn't stop him from complaining about Jiang Youli.

The carriage entered the city. Jiang Li inquired about it and found an inn, planning to stay temporarily.

"Let's stay at the inn for the next two days. We'll discuss the specific arrangements later."

In fact, Jiang Li already had an idea in mind, but everyone is tired now.

I asked for two rooms, one for three grown men, and one for four, Jiang Li, Zhao, Jiang Baishu and Tieniu.

Jiang Baishu is also eight years old. Jiang Li was originally arranged to be with Jiang Songshu, but Jiang Baishu refused to do so, saying that his eldest brother's feet smelled bad.

"Everyone, go back to your room and wash up. Come down for dinner in an hour."

Jiang Li said.

"Do you want to eat here?" Jiang Songshu asked.

The others also looked at Jiang Li and said, "Yes, eat here. Once you are full, you will be able to work better tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered in unison.

Tieniu looked left and right, wondering what was so exciting about eating here.

But seeing everyone cheering, they also cheered along with them.

I asked the waiter to get hot water for both rooms, and then they took turns washing them.

Mr. Jiang asked his son and grandson to rub his back. It was the first time for the mother and daughter on Jiang's side to be so warm. Mrs. Zhao bathed the two children, and she washed her last.

After being on the run for a month, no one had a good shower.

Oh, no, the drought started in the village. It has been more than half a year since I had a good bath.

The bath water was changed twice, but Jiang Li had to pay more for it, so the waiter changed it.

After taking a bath, she was really sleepy. Jiang Li waved to Jiang Baishu and said, "Abai, go tell Grandpa and the others to rest for half an hour before going down to eat. Let's all have a good sleep."

Seeing that Jiang Li and his mother were tired, Jiang Baishu refused to let Tie Niu pester them, so he took Tie Niu's hand and took them out together.

"Look, sister, how hard I am, I am already so tired. Don't keep pestering me. If you want to play, I will play with you."

Jiang Baishu led the iron ox and taught him the truth.

Tieniu raised his head and looked at Jiang Baishu. He didn't know where sister worked so hard. The carriage was driven by her eldest brother, her father made the food, and her mother made the clothes.

In the past few days, Tieniu had been taught that when he arrived in the city, he should follow Jiang Baishu to call for help, and Tieniu would get through with just one click.

Although he didn't understand what the second brother said, Tieniu knew how to read eyes and just nodded to what the second brother said.

In the next room, Mr. Jiang and others had already packed up and were about to go down when they heard a knock on the door.

"Abo, what's wrong? Can you eat?"

Jiang Songshu got out of bed as soon as he heard the sound.

"Sister said to rest for half an hour before going down."

He poked his head inside, took a look, and then took Tieniu to drill inside.

Jiang Songshu stopped him, "You kid, don't you think my feet smell bad?"

Jiang Baishu let go of Tieniu's hand and nimbly slipped under Jiang Songshu's armpit on the other side.

"I won't stay next to you." Jiang Songshu climbed onto the bed in a hurry, lay down next to Mr. Jiang, and waved to Tieniu, "Come here quickly, Tieniu!"

Between the two children were Mr. Jiang and Jiang Youli, and then Jiang Songshu, which was indeed not next to Jiang Songshu.

Jiang Songshu curled his lips in anger, picked up his feet and smelled it in disbelief, and murmured: It doesn't smell!
