But that's not the most heartbreaking thing.
Not long after, they discovered that things were constantly going missing from their home.
Then, after investigation, the truth was quickly found out.
Because they didn't have the fried dough twists and nougat that the Fu family provided, the children in the family were extremely hungry, so they secretly took some seasonings and food from home to have a picnic.
Although most of the things were brought down from the river and trees by the children themselves, even a handful of salt cost money to buy!
In no time, the children who had stolen the items were given a severe beating at home, with the children pinned to their parents' knees.
These children remembered that when they honestly confessed that the fried dough twists and nougat were given to them by Brother Tiedan, their families spread the word, causing them to never be able to eat fried dough twists and nougat again.
So, when their parents repeatedly pressed them about whose idea it was to steal those things, they insisted that they took them because they wanted to eat them.
They stubbornly refused to betray Tie Dan and his friends. When Tie Dan learned of this, sure enough, the next day, as they limped to their old picnic spot, Tie Dan used the seasonings he had previously stolen and stored to cook them a delicious meal as a reward.
The delicious food made the kids feel that even getting beaten up was worth it.
Because of their loyalty, Tiedan kept cooking delicious meals for them throughout the summer.
Fish in the river, eels, loaches, and snails in the fields, wild vegetables on the hillside, and bird eggs in the trees.
Tie Dan cooked everything he could find in the wild into delicious food, ensuring everyone had a full stomach.
In no time, Tiedan had become the leader of all the children in Xishan Village.
After Ning Jing gave birth to twins and completed her postpartum confinement period, Tan Dingguo came to inform her.
Because her side business was greatly reduced, only the side business of teaching everyone how to make calligraphy brushes continued, while the others basically all stopped.
Fu Hongxing had originally intended to stop his side business of calligraphy brushes, but he went to the village chief with the contract once.
The contract should specify that if the goods are not delivered on time, the party in question must compensate the other party.
This made it impossible for Tan Dingguo to agree to lose so much money, so he had no choice but to keep the side business of making calligraphy brushes.
However, with the other side businesses shut down, many villagers naturally found themselves with free time.
However, Tan Dingguo didn't give them much free time.
Since there was nothing for them to do, they were naturally sent to work at the reservoir.
Because most of the people who go to work at the reservoir are villagers from the village.
Therefore, whenever it is the busy farming season, all the villagers in the village will go back to work.
They only go up the mountain to help when there is no work to be done in the village.
The engineers who built the reservoir were initially quite angry.
But later on, no matter how angry you were, it was no use; you could only hold it in.
Then he could only console himself that the reservoir couldn't be built in a year or two anyway, and that once it was built, the villages would benefit and naturally be grateful to them.
Once they get the convenience of building a reservoir, they'll definitely regret not building it sooner.
The thought of the villagers' regretful expressions made the engineers feel much better.
After Ning Jing taught the villagers how to make calligraphy brushes, and given that she hadn't worked for a long time and had now completed her postpartum confinement, she was naturally about to go back to work at the reservoir.
Ning Jing had no choice but to delay for another month before going back to the reservoir to help.
