Happiness System
Chapter 393: True Gold's Escape 55
Soon, they had seen enough of the excitement in each household.
Prince Kang’s Mansion, no, it’s the Mu Family. Now there is no Prince Kang, the only one left is Master Mu!
When they were at the seaside, the Mu family learned about the division of the Meng family. In addition, the government had announced that it would build a city, so Master Mu and his younger brother had some disagreements, so he took the opportunity to divide the family.
The Meng family has divided their property even though their parents are still alive. Those of them who have no parents or elders should have divided their property long ago!
This time, the Mu family generously arranged for people to follow the pioneer team to occupy the land and build houses. The leader was the former Prince Kang, Mu Yao's eldest brother.
This is Meng Shijin's in-laws' family, so Meng Yuxi would naturally not let them lack bricks and tiles to build a house.
But Master Mu was smart enough to know that his uncles and distant relatives did not send anyone to specify a place because they wanted to live in a ready-made place.
Just now, every family tried their best to buy bricks and tiles, but some people had no choice but to build houses with mud bricks as a transition period.
Relying on this point, Master Mu only built a few houses that were barely enough for his own family to live in, and there was no room for more!
No one can live in his house.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Who doesn’t know this?
Those lazy guys should be made to rent a resettlement home out of their own pockets!
Sure enough, those people followed Master Mu excitedly, only to find that their own person was not there at all. They started crying, making a fuss, and even trying to hang themselves. It was so lively that even the opera singers felt ashamed of themselves!
As for Meng Yuxi's courtyard, it was not entirely for the distant relatives of the Meng family.
The Wen family also has clan members and distant relatives by marriage, but because the Wen family's parents and elders passed away early, Wen Yujin has a cold personality and has never been close to them.
The Wen family was able to do little to look after them along the way, and they didn’t take them on board the ship. Now that we have finally arrived in the new city, we can’t let them freeze to death!
The government has limited resources and has not built many resettlement houses. Moreover, most of those resettlement houses are for civilians. Only a few are rented out to various families on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those who start late can only find a way to build the wooden house by themselves!
These people naturally didn't know, and some even thought that they came here for the government, so the government should be responsible for them, and that the houses built were arranged for them.
Only ordinary civilians looked terrified. They remembered the two snowstorms in Luli Continent, which froze many people to death!
Just when they were at a loss as to what to do, a soldier stood on the platform and started to bang the gong vigorously. "Those with black wooden cards, please line up here. Those with ID cards, please come this way! We are only accepting people from the black wooden cards!"
Those who reacted quickly ran over immediately.
It was a straw platform built specifically for the reception of common people, and it was soon crowded with people.
"Line up! Line up! Everyone, line up!"
A team of guards with swords came to that station, and everyone quieted down and lined up obediently.
The rest of those who claimed to be nobles were still arrogant, but after waiting for a long time, no one paid any attention to them.
"Hey! Why do you care about these lowly people? What about us? I am a member of the Li family, take us to our residence quickly, otherwise..."
Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore and ran over and slapped the table.
The person in charge of registering the civilians didn't even raise his head. He raised his hand slightly and pointed in a direction to interrupt him, "Oh, the Li family, go over there!"
"Hey, what's your attitude!"
Before he could utter the quintessence of Chinese culture, the man was thrown out by the guards next to him.
"Why are you banging the table? Don't you know that things are hard to come by and very expensive these days?"
After being humiliated, the man wanted to make amends, but was stopped by his family. He spit a few times before following the direction pointed out. After searching for a long time, he finally found a small house in a small corner with a sign saying "Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry".
After a moment of silence, he took his family there.
After a while, each family figured out the interests and relationships and flocked there.
Unfortunately, there were too many people and too few vacancies, and soon all the houses were rented out, and we could only register and queue up to build a house next year.
The Meng family was not the most perceptive and clever family. By the time they found out there was a house for rent, hundreds of households had already registered in the queue to build the house!
Helplessly, several families, including those in-laws who had not found a house, could only inquire about the location of the third room.
When the group of people found it, they were dumbfounded again. It was difficult for their family to squeeze into the third room, let alone several families!
Meng Yiyun is not stupid. Brothers are still brothers, but once the family is separated, they become two families. If he takes these people in, whose food and drinks will belong to him?
His current foundation is already weak, and even if he is willing to become a holy father and dedicate all his wealth, there is no place for him to buy here!
When the time comes and he still can't eat enough, won't he be blamed? He should be as selfish as his daughter and won't do thankless things!
Meng Yiyun's house did not have so many tables and chairs, so they had to let everyone stand. As if they were providing relief to refugees, he asked them to line up with their own bowls and each of them received a bowl of meat porridge and a pancake. Then he personally sent them to another yard.
“This is the Wen family’s property, originally built for the guards under their command, but considering their relatives and old friends, they used it as resettlement housing.
Ah Jin and I negotiated for a long time before the Wen family was willing to give up half of their land to the Meng family."
What I mean is, don't be ungrateful.
Meng Yiyun did not assign rooms for them. The relatives and friends from the Wen family had arrived earlier. He pointed to the remaining houses and told them to settle down on their own. He said hello to the relatives and friends from the Wen family and went back.
The relatives of the two families were relatively well off. Although it was a bit crowded, at least they had a house to shelter from the wind.
Other people in similar situations were dumbfounded. The people they wanted to rely on were unable to protect themselves!
Countless young men were also scolded. They asked you to come and build a house, but what are you doing?
Mud room? Log house?
It makes people jump up and down every minute!
The pioneer children also feel wronged. If they hadn't been smart, they wouldn't even have mud houses or wooden houses to live in now!
Please go out and take a look at those stubborn people who don’t believe in evil!
Go and take a look at those houses. They did get the bricks, but they were only half built. At this height they can’t even be topped off and are not habitable. It’s really chilling!
This kind of construction was forced to stop halfway. It will be frozen for several months and we still don’t know if it can be used. Maybe it will have to be torn down and rebuilt!
It was already deep winter at this time and there was nothing to do at home, so Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia happily ran out to watch the fun, not feeling cold at all!
Meng Yuxi didn't care about them. Although she didn't like to join in the fun, she was quite happy to listen to the gossip and watch the fun.
"Are Wen Cheng and the others still out chopping wood for firewood?"
The excitement is not in vain. Meng Yuxi was reminded of this.
Xiao Xia nodded, "Yes, Madam, we still have to build the house in the spring. We will need wood to make beams and furniture. Wen Cheng and the others can't sit still, so it's better to prepare everything first."
“Tomorrow, ask them to call the people in the yard over there to come together. What we prepared before is definitely not enough for them to survive the winter.
I guess they don't think about these things, so take them with you, so that they won't be embarrassed to borrow money when the time comes. It's not good if they get sick!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Xiao Xia smiled and retreated.
She thought her wife was really interesting. She clearly didn't want to lend things out but also didn't want those people to come to her house. Language is indeed an art!
The relatives and friends who had come to the Wen family for refuge were used to the family's way of doing things. Without saying a word, they immediately gathered the young and strong men in the family and went to cut wood.
The Meng family was a little dumbfounded. According to their usual thinking, they came to live with their relatives, and the third branch of the Meng family had to guarantee their lives until they were able to build a house and move out to be self-reliant.
Just, you're dreaming!
Meng Yiyun has now learned the essence of his daughter's behavior. He heard his brothers and relatives coming to complain that his daughter was taking them to cut wood.
He asked in surprise, "Have you frozen your arms and bodies into iron and bronze bodies in Luli Continent? Are you not afraid of the cold at all? You don't need to burn firewood except for cooking?
That shouldn't be the case. We only have enough firewood to prepare for half a month. Even if we don't burn the kang or light the fireplace for heating, that firewood won't be needed until the spring, right?
Could it be that you have already processed all the food on the road and are only eating dry food this winter?
Wow, you guys are really capable!"
The person who came to complain was speechless.
No, shouldn't you ask someone to send firewood, charcoal and food over?
Why do you feel like mocking them?
When they were sent out, everyone looked doubtful about their lives.
As a result, the next day, Meng Yiyun brought people there.
He looked helpless as if he couldn't do anything to you, "Let's go, I didn't expect that after three or four years of fleeing famine, you guys haven't learned how to collect firewood or how to be thrifty.
Forget it, I'll take you there today!"
After bringing a group of confused people up the mountain and giving them some random commands, Meng Yiyun went home feeling very satisfied!
Look, aren't they doing pretty well? They are all pretty good and strong guys, why do they become lazy after arriving in Fengming Continent? Why do they always want to rely on others!
Fight on, kids!
"Dad, where have you been?"
Usually, the father and son would discuss medicine and academics together in the study, but suddenly Meng Shijin was alone and he felt quite uncomfortable.
Meng Yiyun said with a proud look on his face: "I took your cousins and cousins to the mountains to chop firewood. They are a bunch of poor children. They have become stupid after staying in the sea. Shouldn't I, your uncle, teach them a lesson?"
Meng Shijin: “???” You’re teaching people how to chop wood? Don’t be kidding!
However, these are not important things!
Putting aside those trivial matters, Meng Shijin talked about business. "The government is going to provide free medical services at the resettlement center. They sent someone to ask us if we want to study medicine. The old guys in the Imperial Hospital will be our temporary teachers. However, the government requires us to provide some medicinal materials as tuition."
Meng Yiyun knew that nothing comes for free, so he refused coldly, "No! I will buy land and build a college next spring! I won't study medicine anymore!"
Meng Shijin: “???” We agreed to give up literature and study medicine together, but you left me again!
Angry! But dare not say it!
