Xia Chen stood guard at the gate of the city, and distributed an exquisite small book to the new city residents who entered. This small book was a small notepad drawn by him in a lottery. It had a dark blue plain soft cover, the size of a palm, and was about ten pages thick.

He hid in the space by himself, drew the form with a gel pen and a ruler, basically referring to the household registration book format, but added some features of the owner on the single page.

He asked Liu Jiao to copy a lot of the small notebooks with the forms drawn, and planned to distribute them one after another for demographic work.

It happened that the first batch of entrants attracted a lot of attention, so he took this opportunity to push out the household registration booklet. These foreigners are looking for a sense of identity. The account book is easier to be recognized and accepted by everyone.

Naturally, the household registration book is not one for each person. The bricklayer and his son must be on the same household registration book. Qi brothers like Yi Shan Wuqi also put them on the same household registration book after consulting their own opinions.

The others are bachelors, each with a household registration booklet, but Xia Chen also told him that if he gets married again or has a child in the future, he must go to the administrative hall in time - the newly built house that handles government affairs, and update the information on the household registration booklet.

After receiving the household registration book, a group of people went to choose a house with excitement. When the residential building was being built, they knew that this was the house they were going to live in. If they had the opportunity, they would go around and have a look, imagining the scene of living in .

Now that the dream has come true, it even feels a little unreal. The newly built buildings look more magnificent than the low courtyards. Many inner and outer city residents who came to watch these ten people are envious and jealous.

After entering the house, the sour mood surged up even more. I thought that this kind of house would be cramped, so I entered a suite with two rooms, because there were only beds and wardrobes, and it looked very open.

And this is a place where one person lives alone, living alone in such a big two-room brick and tile house, alas, the elders really don't live like this.

The little bricklayer doesn't have enough eyesight, he is only busy burning bricks, and he doesn't know how the house will be built.

After strolling around, he turned his back and secretly smirked at his father: "This is all made of bricks I burned."

The bricklayer rolled his eyes to the sky: "I still fired the tiles on your head!"

The two father and son exchanged words, and then looked around with a smile on their faces. They only felt that the house was good everywhere, it was very good, and they even thought about how to decorate it.

The rent of the house is not cheap. It costs one green coin a month. Xia Chen thought about whether to rent it cheaper, but considering that the house is not enough to live in now, if the rent is too low, the inner city residents who have savings may be the first to pay. Set aside the remaining house.

And now that many residents in outer cities are almost saving enough contribution points, these [-] houses may not be enough, so he set a higher price in order to let them share the rent as much as possible.

Sure enough, although the rent is a bit expensive, these people who have accumulated enough contribution points are not bad at earning money. They have some savings in hand, and they are all willing to rent a new house here.

But not everyone rents a suite alone. Yi Shan and Wu Qi, the Qi brothers, only rented one suite. Wu Qi’s original thatched cottage was returned, and he obviously planned to move in with Yi Shan.

Of the other three members of the Wu Qi team, two rented a suite, and one rented a separate one. Xia Chen estimated that he was waiting for the remaining member to save enough contribution points to move in with him.

The two members of the Goat Squad originally only planned to rent a suite, but after some discussion, they decisively paid for each and rented one, presumably to reserve a place for their teammates.

Their approach is very wise. Among the onlookers, some people are already calculating how much contribution value they are short of. As they decide on the house they want to rent, some people ask loudly that when they have saved enough contribution points, the house will be gone. what to do.

What can I do, continue to cover it.After the construction team built this residential building, they built a new building not far away without stopping. At this moment, the foundation has just been laid, and the house is still waiting for it to be built.

As for the only [-] apartments, Yi Shan and two people took one, two search teams took four, and the carpenter had one. His salary was calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. The orders placed there did not make less money, and there was no shortage of rent money.

But the bricklayer and his son actually took two sets. Some people shouted at the bricklayer in the crowd indignantly, why should they take an extra set?

The mason said cheerfully that when he settled down, he would find a wife for his son, and he couldn't let the young couple live with him.

This remark caused a burst of laughter from the crowd, the little bricklayer blushed, turned his head to look at the wall and said nothing.

In this way, there are only twelve houses left, and those who come late will be gone, so they have to rent a thatched cottage first.Even if thatched cottages are cheap, who would want to live in a thatched cottage after seeing such a nice green brick and big tiled cottage.

Yue Mo felt it was strange that everyone chose the second floor except for the carpenter who had limited legs and feet and didn't want to climb the stairs.Choose a house and move in the same day.

They didn't have a lot of luggage at first, and those with few things came in a dozen. If they had a lot, they just borrowed a small cart from the transport team, which was also very convenient.

Because the canteen hadn't been built yet, two stoves were built on the open space surrounded by the residential buildings for them to use first.

After the first approved entrants moved into their new residences, the whole city once again had a strong enthusiasm for work. Residents in the outer city wished they could work without sleep and rest so as to accumulate enough contribution points early, while those in the inner city were envious and jealous, and even less willing to be They compare.

At the same time, the speed of construction work accelerated again. After the city wall was built, there were no major users of stone, and stones were still needed on the side of the canal, but the accumulated stones were enough for the time being.

Xia Chen transferred all the quarry workers back to build the house. The original construction team was broken up, the old brought in the new, and several constructions were carried out at the same time.

After doing some research, Xia Chen decided that some modifications could be made to the newly built building, the general layout would remain the same, and some single dormitories could be added for multiple people to live in.

There are many bachelors living alone in the outer cities. Renting a two-room suite for one person cannot afford it and feels like a waste.

And according to the survey results, many people, especially bachelors, feel that the study is a bit of a waste, and one room is enough to live in. Some people even asked if they could put a bed in the study and share it with others.

In this way, suites are obviously more suitable for living as a family unit, and what a large number of bachelors need is a bed.

Xia Chen simply went to the carpenter's place, made gestures like this, and ordered a large number of canopy beds.It's just like getting on and off the bed like in a university dormitory, and just put two sheets on the table for a while.

While he was busy working on new building plans, Meng Mingjun led the tasks he had arranged, going door-to-door to do population registration and distribute household registration books.

In order to let the city residents realize the importance of the household registration book, the administrative hall posted a new announcement, conducting irregular population random checks. If the household registration book is lost, it must be reissued in time (of course, a replacement fee must be paid), and if someone dies, the account must be canceled. It should also be added in time when the baby is born.

If it is found that the household registration booklet is lost or the population of the family does not match the household registration booklet during the spot check, the penalty will be doubled for the first time, and the household registration booklet will be taken back for the third time to be expelled from the city.

These punishment measures alone made the city residents tremble with fear, and every one who didn't take it seriously, hid the household registration booklet tightly after receiving it.

Xia Chen used to like to give a sweet date with a stick, first to scare him, and then continue to announce the benefits.

During the Spring Festival, you can use your household registration book to receive annual gifts. There are not many things, but they are all for nothing. After going through the previous intimidation, everyone looks at this reward again, as if they have picked up a bargain.

Not long after the first batch of new residents moved in, many residents from the outer cities successively saved enough contribution points to move in. The remaining twelve apartments were sold out, and those who found it difficult to afford were rented with others.

Those who come early live in a building, and those who come late can only live in a thatched house. Every day, they look at the new building that is busy with construction, wishing that the building will rise in the blink of an eye, and they can live in it tomorrow.

In late July, the weather was so hot that it was impossible to work during the day. The scorching sun cracked the skin on people's backs. The water level of the Qingshui River next to it dropped again, and many fish appeared by the riverbed. They went down with buckets, and it would not be long before You can pick up most of the bucket and come back.

Everyone has completely changed their daily routines, and they are nocturnal. Construction workers even prefer to work with torches at night.

These are not what worries Xia Chen the most. What worries him the most is that Dong Geer and others, who have been away for two months, have not returned yet.

In two months, he rushed back from the imperial capital, and it only took him more than two months. Brother Dong's destination is not too far away, and two months is enough to run back and forth.

But until now, they still have no news, and the family members don't say anything, but Xia Chen knows that they are all worried about Dong Geer Xi Niang.

Xia Chen was also anxious, he was even thinking that this month was the deadline, if Brother Dong and the others hadn't come back by August, he would take someone out to look for it.

Anxiously waiting until the end of July, Xia Chen had already started to arrange various affairs in the city, and Dong Ge'er and his party finally returned.

The seven people who came back described it as extremely distressed. It was fine if there were only two of the four horses that were brought out at the beginning. The pumpkin carriage was covered with a thick layer of dust. The smell distorted the expression of Xia Chen who was excited to meet him for a moment.

They were all heroes, Xia Chen was too embarrassed to dislike them, he couldn't take a shower when he was away from home, and the weather was so hot, it was normal to smell a little bit.

When the returning people got out of the car, they asked for water in hoarse voices. Xia Chen quickly handed over a few water strips, and they drank a water strip without stopping after taking it, and then they looked alive.

Xia Chen was a little curious. Before he left, he thought that water resources would definitely become more and more scarce in such a hot weather, so he brought enough water belts for them all, why they were all so thirsty.

Brother Dong's eyes were red and bloodshot, and the others did not give in. Sun Zhi obviously used reclaimed rubber on half of his arm, and his palm hadn't grown out yet.

Although no obvious wounds were seen on the others, judging from the degree of damage to their clothes, they suffered a lot outside.

In front of everyone, there were many things to talk about, and they looked very tired, so Xia Chen asked them to rest first.

Yue Mo was really exhausted. As soon as Xia Chen spoke, Dong Geer asked Xi Niang to give Xia Chen a circle of red gourds tightly tied around her waist, and then a group of people went home and fell asleep.
