The next day.
Mingjingtang set up a tent at the gate of the wall and posted a notice, notifying all residents to come here to register and receive bedding.
Most of the people were still transporting supplies outside, and very few people remained in the fort.
But there were so many things that the underground palace could hardly hold them all. After some discussion, the uncles and aunts decided not to wait for everyone to come back, but to distribute a batch first to make some room in the warehouse.
Otherwise, if we really wait until that time, there might be too many people to handle it, so it is better to distribute it bit by bit.
The house where the Kang brothers and sisters lived was very close to the door.
Kang Jinghe was alone at home. Her eldest brother was sent by Mr. Chu to Shilin Village to do some work and was said to be back in a few days.
Because she was young, the girl ordered her to go to school in the morning and work in the medicine shop in the afternoon. She started as a medicine boy and learned about medicinal herbs and helped the medical officer organize medicines.
There is only one medical officer in the fort, and the medicine shop is very busy.
Although the little girl is young, she was born into a medical family. She has been exposed to medicine since she was a child and is familiar with some medicinal herbs. When she encounters something she doesn't understand, she will silently write it down and ask her elder brother after returning home.
The brother and sister finally found a safe place to stay. The girl and the Wei family members were kind-hearted. Since she was young, she could eat for free in the public kitchen. She cherished her current life very much and truly regarded the fort as her home, so she worked extra hard.
All in all, every day is fulfilling.
Today, after school, Kang Jinghe heard that winter bedding had started to be distributed on her way to the public kitchen for lunch.
She was simple-minded. She thought that her elder brother was not at home. If she missed it, it would be gone. What would she do in winter?
Upon hearing the news, they rushed out to collect supplies without even having time to eat.
There weren't many people gathered at the gate of the wall, but there were quite a few too.
Everyone knew that everyone had one, so there was no rush and they all lined up obediently and waited.
When Kang Jinghe came out, the line was already very long.
To avoid duplicate collection, bedding is distributed to each household according to the registered household information, so one person can take away bedding for the entire family.
"Jinghe, come here and line up!" Someone in the queue waved at her.
Kang Jinghe saw that it was one of the Zhang brothers who lived in the same courtyard with them. She ran over and smiled sweetly, "Uncle Zhang is back."
“Hey.”
Zhang Laosan looked her over carefully and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Jinghe has grown taller."
The little girl was no longer as thin as when I first met her. Her regular life made her look rounder and her face finally had some flesh on it.
Zhang Laosan was also in the team transporting supplies and had just returned.
The three brothers were not assigned to a county town, and his two cousins had not returned yet.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. The people who have just returned have half an hour to rest and do some activities. After the supply truck enters the dock, they have to continue to go to the county town to transport things.
It happened that Mingjingtang was distributing bedding. Since he had nothing to do, Zhang Laosan thought of taking the things home first.
The people who came back with him thought the same thing, so there were quite a lot of people queuing up at this moment.
Kang Jinghe didn't answer. She smiled at him and pointed to the back, "Uncle Zhang, I'll go line up first."
Zhang Laosan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you the one here to pick up the things? Where is your brother?" Could it be that he hasn't reacted yet?
No wonder Zhang Laosan thinks so.
Everyone lived under the same roof and shared the main room. They saw each other every day. Sometimes, when they met each other when they went out, Kang Honglang would only react after they had left after saying hello.
The three brothers of the Zhang family are already accustomed to it.
But he is capable. On the first day he arrived at the fort, he was noticed by the gentleman next to the girl and was hired to work in the research institute opposite.
It’s close to home and I don’t have to go out to do physical work.
The key is to earn more food!
Last month, when it was time to get his wages and receive his badges, Kang Honglang returned home not only with a pinewood badge in his hand, but also with two buckets of grain.
Anyone who sees it will be envious.
Kang Jinghe said, "My eldest brother went to Shilin Village and asked Mr. Chu to bring back a message that he would be back home in a few days."
Zhang Laosan said nothing more after hearing this.
He didn't know what the research institute did specifically, he only knew that it seemed to be responsible for the farmland and crops on the mountain, as well as Shilin Village.
After the village was rebuilt, it was heavily guarded and almost no one from the fortress ever went there. Those who worked there kept their mouths shut and never talked about it when they came back, so no one dared to ask too many questions.
While chatting, he had already reached the front of the line, reported his address and household registration to the people at Mingjingtang, and soon received three quilts.
"Jinghe, I have to go out later. Uncle San should go back and put down the quilt and then come back to help you get it."
Kang Jinghe waved her hands embarrassedly, "No, I can carry it. You have to go out later, Uncle Zhang, please go inside and rest for a while."
Now it was her turn.
The clansman from Mingjingtang sat at the table without looking up. "Address and name."
The little girl quickly reported it.
Upon hearing this, the tribesman flipped through the corresponding registration book based on the house number at the address and quickly found the siblings' household registration information. He marked it and shouted to the tribesmen at the transport vehicle behind, "Two quilts!"
The little girl thanked him repeatedly and ran to the side to take the quilt.
Her house was nearby, just a few steps away, and she ran back and bumped into Zhang Laosan who had just come out.
Zhang Laosan was about to help when the foreman at the door shouted, "People who are going to Xincheng, assemble!"
The people who were still queuing sighed repeatedly. If they had known earlier, they would have waited two days before coming to collect it. It was a waste of time to be exposed to the sun for so long.
I don’t know how long I will have to wait in line after everyone comes back.
Zhang Laosan hurriedly said goodbye to the little girl and ran to gather the people. After a while, when everyone had gathered, he set out again to transport supplies.
