The first person to obtain an inner city hukou was An Xinhou.

Yiren's physical fitness is already a bit higher than that of ordinary people. Even in ordinary labor activities, he can choose heavier work and earn higher contribution points.

What's more, An Xinhou's supernatural ability is still in the plant department. When the big guys are busy opening up wasteland and farming, his ability is simply unique.

After earning enough contribution points, An Xinhou gave this access opportunity to his teacher Ning Daru. The old man is getting old and can't bear to live in a simple thatched house.

Just before he entered the city, a new dormitory building was built, and the construction workers were proficient, and the work would be done very quickly, and the weather at this time was much easier to do than that windy day.

The old man's legs are not as sharp as the young man's. He rented a bed in a double room on the first floor. Now he is the only one in the room, which is equivalent to a single room.

On the day he entered the city, he went to get his household registration booklet. Xia Chen met him in the administrative hall. The old man was full of emotions and couldn't stop praising him.

Lin Yimin and several other students who came with him immediately looked embarrassed and secretly looked at Xia Chen, for fear that he would feel dissatisfied.

After all, it's not the end of the day. At that time, the old gentleman was highly respected, and it was naturally a good thing to praise a junior.

But now Xia Chen is the lord of the city, and Ning Daru is just an ordinary old man who is still making a living under his hands, and if he speaks in the tone of an elder praising a junior, he should have a bad heart.

Xia Chen nodded slightly and accepted with a smile. The old gentleman really thought that he had done a good job and protected the common people. Of course he didn't mind. Instead, he politely asked him if he would like to be a teacher in school.

Due to the current dangerous environment, the school's curriculum has undergone great changes compared to the past. Although those old classics have been well preserved, students now learn more skills that are convenient for life.

He knows that some children are actually better at some literature, but there is no way, they must first learn how to improve their chances of survival before they can consider these knowledge that can only be learned as a hobby now.

However, the arrival of Ning Daru and others made him see another direction. This group of scholars has the ability to assist in combat, and their abilities are different from the random abilities of other people who rely entirely on luck. They can be obtained through training and learning.

This made him feel a little hopeful. Scholars will grow old one day, get injured or die, but if they cultivate successors, their literary spirit can be passed on from generation to generation, protecting the city forever.

Ning Daru was overjoyed, he agreed without even asking about the school's salary.

The old gentleman has been studying, teaching and learning for most of his life since his enlightenment. He is full of talents. Even if a person with ability is humble, he is still proud in his heart.

But after the apocalypse, his abilities were suddenly greatly reduced, and when he arrived in Wangxiangcheng, he even had to be supported by his students.

Now that they have just arrived, it is naturally impossible to entrust them with important work. All the scholars, including Lin Yimin, do physical work, which Ning Daru cannot do.

So when Xia Chen offered him a job, which was his favorite and best at teaching and educating people, the old man was so happy that he agreed without saying a word.

But now that the students' courses have been arranged, Mr. Meng has to coordinate the changes again, and not all children are good at learning from Ning Daru, and the professor's students still need to go through a selection process.

I heard that I can't go to class for a while, although the old gentleman can understand, but the loss in his eyes is quite obvious, and he asked if he could go to the school to attend.

Xia Chen basically didn't get involved in school affairs, he had to tell Mr. Meng about it. After thinking about it, he saw that the old man really wanted to find something to do, so he asked him if he would carve a seal.

The old man didn't know why, so he said honestly: "Yes, yes, but the old man is old, his hand is unstable, and the carving knife is not good enough."

Engraving seals is a delicate job, which requires precise hands, but Xia Chen is not looking for him to engrave seals.

In winter, his family Zijian was busy for most of the winter, and carved a set of movable type for him, which is now in use. Books like Qianziwen, which used to be copied by hand, can now be printed by themselves. Mr. Meng and the others It is said that it is convenient and easy to use.

But such things as typefaces are not enough to engrave one for each character. Let’s not mention the thousand-character script for now. For printing other things, some commonly used characters often have several on a page, so you have to engrave a few more.

In addition, because there is only one set of fonts, it can only be printed slowly, and there are no replacements.

Xia Chen thought, Ning Daru can't engrave, but he can write!

After the inverted script is written, find a carpenter to carve it. Maybe it won't be as good as Zijian, but it is enough at this stage.

As soon as he told Ning Daru about this job, the old man became interested in the movable type printing he talked about again, and he responded to the errand with all his heart. Although he couldn't use a carving knife well, he could write characters without any problem.

As soon as Ning Daru was settled here, Brother Nan excitedly ran in and told him that Xu Helai and Xu Laodao were back.

Brother Nan went out with Xi Niang and the others some time ago. Not only did they get back a lot of valuable supplies, but they also poached a manpower from a base. Their entire team got an extremely generous bonus.

Brother Nan's dowry money was almost saved up at once, probably because he had tasted the sweetness, and he also took over the escort mission after that, and escorted the second wave of survivors after a two-day break.

After successfully completing the task, Xia Chen got another reward. Xia Chen thought that this lazy boy would change back after he had saved enough dowry. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be a different person, and he was very diligent in taking on tasks.

Xia Chen asked curiously, and Nan Ge'er said plausibly: "I have saved enough dowry money, so I can't rent a better house for Jiaoniang? If you let me buy a house, uncle, then I have to save money to buy a house." Isn’t it? And I’m married to Jiao Niang, so I have to buy delicious food for her, but I don’t need to earn more money.”

Xia Chen: "..."

No wonder some people say that a man will become mature when he gets married. This is like eating special-effect fertilizers, and he is directly ripened!

The silly nephew suddenly moved forward, which is a little strange, but he can't be allowed to run outside all the time, it's not safe outside now.

Today, he happened to be patrolling the city gate. He saw the iconic figure of the pumpkin carriage gradually approaching from a distance. He thought it was a search party going out. On second thought, it was wrong, because too many new migrants came, and the guard team The patrol pressure has increased sharply, and no one has been out recently.

Those private search teams have also been busy in the city recently, and no one went out.

Until Xu Helai jumped out of the carriage outside the tree wall, Brother Nan recognized the little friend at a glance, and ran back to report to his uncle without even having time to say hello.

The little friend finally came back, Xia Chen was equally overjoyed, and immediately went out to meet him with Brother Nan.

When I walked to the gate of the city, I saw them standing in front of the primary school student who had received the explanation task today, listening to him.

Xia Chen took a look, besides Xu Laodao and Xu Helai, the master and apprentice, there were several strangers beside them, a middle-aged man in his forties, a young man, a young man, and two children. The youngest one looked about four or five years old.

A few of them, including Xu Helai's master and apprentice, didn't wear the Taoist robes they usually wear. The clothes on their bodies were dirty and old. The young man and two children obviously didn't fit the clothes on them, and they might have been altered by adults.

When Xu Helai and his disciples left, Xia Chen prepared enough supplies for them. Unfortunately, there were no gourd babies at that time, so they could only stuff as much as possible into the pumpkin carriage.

Looking at their current situation, it's probably not a good time to live outside, but it will be fine when they come back, and the rest of Xia Chen thinks it doesn't matter.

Seeing Xia Chen, Xu Helai's face became much thinner, and his more angular face immediately burst into a bright smile: "Yuanbao, I'm back."

"Welcome home!" Xia Chen also laughed. The little friend left without a sound for half a year, and it was a lie to say that he was not worried. Fortunately, he came back safely.

The two chatted for a while, then Xu Laodao came over and introduced the others to Xia Chen with a smile.

Those teenagers and children were the apprentices and grandchildren of the middle-aged man. Xia Chen guessed all of these. He also guessed that Xu Laodao and the middle-aged man should be brothers.

It's just that he never expected that Xu Laodao actually introduced that it was his senior brother Ling Yunzi.

Xia Chen: "..."

The big eyes are full of even greater doubts.

He looked at Xu Laodao, who had white beard and hair, and looked like a little old man, and then looked at Ling Yunzi, who still had black hair despite his vicissitudes of eyes and wrinkles on his face, and deeply doubted whether Xu Laodao was fooling him.

"Little Yuanbao, do you think the old Taoist lied to you?" Old Taoist Xu pretended to be angry.

Xia Chen turned his gaze to Xu Helai, Xiaoniao would definitely not lie to him!

Xu Helai coughed lightly, tried his best to suppress the corners of his upturned lips, nodded and said: "What the master said is true, Master Ling Yunzi... started earlier than the master."

Xia Chen suddenly realized that it must be when Xu Laodao was getting started. Ling Yunzi was very young, but he was already very old.

Ling Yunzi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Xia Chen: "Thank you Layman Xia for taking me in. My master and apprentice will definitely repay this kind of kindness."

Xia Chen waved his hand, even if it was an ordinary person, he would take it in at a glance, let alone a Taoist priest!Even if there is only one person who can draw talismans with Xu Laodao and Xu He at a glance, he will be considered to have earned money.

Before he came, Ling Yunzi and his party listened to the children explaining the rules of Wangxiangcheng, and they didn't want to take advantage of Xu Laodao's teacher and apprentice to go directly to the inner city, but planned to take a look at other people and earn contribution points honestly.

Xu Laodao's master and apprentice also didn't mention it, and only planned to send them some things after they were resettled.

When their master and apprentice left, the dormitory area hadn’t been built yet, so Xia Chen directly gave them a suite for each of them. After all, the master and apprentice were the saviors of his family. They also had a house at the beginning, but their house was on the mountain. Now When he came back, he should give the suite as well.

The master and apprentice were amazed when they saw the city that had changed so much. When they walked to the cafeteria, Xu Laodao smelled the aroma inside and couldn't walk.

Xia Chen took them in to eat. Brother Nan didn't want to leave when he saw them, so he followed them for a meal.

After a full meal, Xu Laodao took a few meat buns and wanted to send them to Ling Yunzi, Xia Chen sent Brother Nan to give them to him.

Xu He hadn't seen Xia Chen for a long time, and he was a little reluctant to leave. He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start. After holding back for a long time, he said, "Why didn't that friend of yours follow you?"
