If the two older sons could also find work, they could save some money every month.
After dinner, An's father asked about An Jingzhi's job content. An Jingzhi introduced it to him carefully. Although he didn't understand much, from the way Jingzhi spoke, An's father knew that he should be able to do the job.
A few more days passed.
"Mr. An, all the places have been thoroughly investigated. They are all recorded here."
I glanced at Liu Sheng and it was dark. He had ulterior motives these days.
How could they not be attentive? Mr. An promised that if they did a good job, they would become official employees of the yamen. They didn't know what a formal employee was, but they knew that if they did a good job, they would receive a salary. Ordinary clerks didn't receive a salary, so in this way, they could at least become yamen runners.
According to the recording method he submitted, Mr. Liu filled in all the population and land information in the form, which was clear at a glance. If he had recorded it according to the previous household registration and land registration, it would have been very complicated and inaccurate. Only the new information could be obtained through a new survey.
"Well done." He sent someone to deliver the documents to Zhu Kang, and encouraged them to learn more words. After making a big promise, An Jingzhi went off work again.
Even if you can't work five days a week and have two days off, you still have to work from nine to five every day!
Leaving behind three people with their blood boiling.
Mr. Wang trusts us so much, we must work hard to live up to his trust!
"Good! I guess we were right. This chart really is pretty self-explanatory."
Zhu Kang looked at the documents delivered to him, which showed everything about land and population. He was overjoyed. Mr. An was indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, he didn't rush to ask for punishment that day, otherwise it would have been bad.
"Even someone like me who only knows a few words can read it clearly. This form is really good." Hong Tao, who was lying next to Zhu Kang, said in a muffled voice.
"Hahaha, it's only been a few days, and Mr. An has already sorted out the household registration issue. Now we have a clear idea of what's going on. Big brother, you've got the right person."
"I heard that the centurion under Lao Hong brought this. He is rewarded for recommending talents. Big brother, let's see the reward."
"It should be so." Zhu Kang sent someone to reward Cheng Neng with several pieces of silk.
"Now that the population and land here have been clearly surveyed, the land distribution must be implemented as soon as possible." Zhu Kang pondered.
"The brothers in the army have been looking forward to this for a long time."
"Yes, we were so busy dealing with the city affairs before, but now we can finally start dividing the land. From now on, brothers will be more courageous in fighting."
As soon as he got home, he gave the settlement documents in his hand to An's father. From today on, they were also citizens of Lan County.
An's mother also went forward to take a look and touched it carefully, fearing that her rough hands would tear the paper.
From today on, their family is no longer a refugee, but the thin piece of household registration makes her feel at ease.
From the moment they fled the famine, neither she nor the old man thought they would survive. Now, not only have they survived, but they have also settled down in the city and are living a better life than before. This is all thanks to her Jingzhi. For most of her life, she has never favored the wrong person.
Because of An Jingzhi's relationship, the eldest An and the second An found jobs in the city. The eldest An worked in a restaurant, and the second An found a job as a carpenter. They haven't returned yet.
The two sisters-in-law were taking care of the children and doing housework at home, and growing some vegetables in the yard. They were very happy to see the household registration at this time. This is because it is easy to get things done when you have someone in the court. If their family did not have Jingzhi working in the county government, they don’t know how many people they would have to ask to get this household registration.
"By the way, Dad, I estimate that the land will be distributed in a few days. The army will be distributed first, and then it will be our turn."
An Jingzhi looked at his father and said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was complete silence.
An's parents never thought they could still own their own land. The three mu of land they had previously saved for half their lives was a loss for them. They were heartbroken to lose the three mu of land after fleeing the famine, but there was no food on the land, and their family members were being taken away to fight. They had no choice but to flee. If they didn't flee, the whole family would die!
Mother An's hands trembled as she asked carefully, "Really? We were able to get land even when we first arrived."
Father An pretended to be calm and listened attentively. If he hadn't seen his hand trembling slightly under his sleeve, he could have been fooled.
"It's true. I guess Commander Zhu will let me handle this matter tomorrow."
"Then San'er, you have to work hard." An's mother still couldn't believe it.
"Your mother is right. Commander Zhu is a good man. He has helped our family so much. Now he wants to divide the land. You can't play tricks on me anymore."
"Dad, is your son such a person?"
"Third brother, do you have the final say on how much we get?" Qian asked tentatively.
"Stop having any evil ideas!" Father An glared at Qian sternly.
"Oh, Dad, I don't have any plans. I just want to know how much we can get if our family divides the land." Qian was very indignant. She felt that her father really underestimated her and always thought that she would have bad intentions and was not a good person.
An Jingzhi looked at Qian happily and said, "I guess it's divided according to the number of people in our family. There are ten people in our family, so we can get ten acres of land." This is how Zhu Kang divided the land in his previous life.
"Oh my! How can there be so many?" Qian slapped her legs excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, can you pat your legs?" Zhao felt that her legs must have turned red.
Qian apologized repeatedly. She and her eldest sister-in-law had a good relationship because of An Jingzhi. She would share the family affairs she heard outside with Zhao. She couldn't let her gossip with her mother-in-law, could she? This also led to Zhao knowing all the big and small affairs of the village without leaving her house.
"Second sister-in-law, we know it, but it hasn't been announced yet, so we can't tell anyone."
"Jingzhi, don't worry. Don't you know what kind of person Second Sister-in-law is? She will definitely not tell anyone."
After Qian made the promise, the whole family's mouths twitched, thinking that in just half a month she had become familiar with the neighbors, often visited them, and learned a lot of things from the military commander's wife.
She is the one who loves to go out and talk the most in the family, but she has never complained about her family members to others. I guess she knows what is going on.
Most of the neighbors here are military families, and those who live here all work under Commander Zhu. Cheng Neng also lives nearby, but one lives at the beginning of the street and the other at the end. He often comes to visit and is so welcoming that it seems like this is his home.
But it's normal. Cheng Neng has no family and he would be alone at home. It's better for him to come to Brother Jing's place and get some food. The food in the military camp would taste terrible, so he never comes here empty-handed.
The An family is grateful to Cheng Neng. If Jingzhi had not met him, their family would probably still be on the road fleeing famine. Every time Cheng Neng came, An's mother would warmly entertain him. A few days ago, she even adopted him as her adopted son. Now they are a real family.
