Xiao Lingling used the big pot at home, added water from the spirit pool, and boiled a large pot of medicine.
A bowl was served to each member of the Zhu family, young and old.
Fang cooked another pot of thick rice porridge and steamed a large bowl of egg custard for the children.
I haven't had a good meal for so long, so it's best to eat something light.
After everyone finished eating, Lin Changshu came back with a smile.
One look at his expression and you'll know it's definitely done.
Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother! It's done! I went to talk to the village chief, and he said it was okay, but it was just for a while, and he asked for fifty coins.
I have been given the keys, and I can go in now.
There are tables, chairs, benches, and other things, but no bedding. Old woman, go find some beds!"
Zhao nodded, "Don't worry! I have it all figured out. Take your elder brother and the others to get familiar with the place and clean it up first."
I'll pack up the bedding, food, and other things and send them over again!"
"Okay! Big brother, come on, I'll take you there to have a look. It's very close to my home."
Zhu Zheng didn't bother to be polite with him. He took his whole family and followed Lin Changshu out, leaving only Zhu Hui and Zhou.
"Second brother, go and pack up some bedding that we don't need right now, and some clothes that we can't wear."
"Second brother, go pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden, then go to the kitchen and get some rice, flour, and oil. Then bring them to your Uncle Zhu later."
After Zhao gave instructions to Lin Feng and his wife, she did not sit idle either and began to clean up the pots and pans.
These are things that are essential for daily life and are definitely indispensable. Fortunately, we have spare ones at home, so we don’t have to worry about not having enough.
Zhou felt very embarrassed when she saw this, but she knew that these things were necessities.
So, there is no way to refuse. I can only keep it in mind and pay it back slowly in the future.
Wait until they have finished packing and then take it over there in a horse-drawn carriage, otherwise it will definitely be too late.
When they arrived at the school, they helped to clean up. After much persuasion, the entire Zhu family was able to move in before dark.
Although there are still a lot of odds and ends missing, life is temporarily no problem.
The rice and flour that Zhao sent weighed more than 100 kilograms in total, which was enough for them to eat for a while, and they would send more when they ran out.
Zhu Zheng looked at the neatly arranged courtyard, his heart filled with emotion, "Brother Lin, I really don't know how to thank you.
If it weren't for your family, we don't know where we would be now."
Lin Changshu patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't think too much, everything will be fine in the future!
By the way, when I went to see the village chief today, I bought a piece of residential land for you. It’s not far south of this school. The place is not too big, but it’s enough for your family to live in.
As for land, there are only two pieces of dry land left, totaling only a little over three acres.
I've decided on it first, but who knows, someone might sell it later, so we'll decide then!"
Zhu Zheng sighed, "Okay, that's great. I don't know how to thank you enough for this! I will definitely pay you back later."
"Hey! Look, you're being polite to me again, aren't you? Big brother, don't think too much about it for now. Let's just live peacefully as a family.
You guys should take a good rest these two days. Once you have recovered, we will take a look at the situation and see how to build this house.
In short, as long as the family is well, nothing else matters!"
Zhu Zheng understood what he meant, sighed, and said nothing more.
The Lin family helped clean up until the end before returning home. It was already dark when they got home.
In order to take care of Zhu Hui, Zhou temporarily stayed at Lin's house that night.
But no matter where they lived, this was the most restful and emotional night they had slept in months.
Xiao Lingdang still slept in the same bed with Wu Tongtong at night.
Wu Tongtong didn't know if she was infected by the Zhu family, and she felt a little sad. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
Even the little bell was extremely disturbed by her sighing.
She simply turned around and looked at Wu Tongtong, "Sister Tong, what are you thinking about?"
Wu Tongtong felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she had woken her up, "I, I didn't think anything of it."
"I don't believe it! Do you have a secret with me? Humph! Are you still my beloved sister Tong?"
Wu Tongtong smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, I just don't know how to say it, and I'm also afraid that you will laugh at me."
Xiao Lingling came closer to her and hugged her arm, "Sister Tong, tell me, I promise I won't laugh at you."
Wu Tongtong was amused by her childish appearance and said, "Actually, I really don't know what to say.
Before I met you, I didn’t have many friends. Occasionally, they were all kids from rich families.
They would follow their mothers to arrange my mother, and then they would gradually become familiar with each other.
They always try to curry favor with me, and they will give me anything delicious, fun, or beautiful.
So, I actually live a pretty good life.
Although I don't look down on the common people like those young ladies, I really don't understand how the common people can really live such a hard life.
I really won’t be able to afford even a bite of food and will have to eat wild grass.
Now that I see and know it, and when I think about our lives again, I feel inexplicably guilty.
Especially recently, my mother has no appetite, but for her health, the small kitchen is actually constantly making various foods.
But because of the hot weather, a lot of the food that couldn’t be eaten actually went bad.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now I think it’s such a waste.
If I were given another chance, I would not waste it.
"Xiao Lingling, how many people do you think will starve to death this year? I feel sad whenever I think about it."
Xiao Lingling really didn't expect that she couldn't sleep because of this, and she was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
But it's a good thing that she can reflect on this.
Combined with the light in her, she can have such awareness, which may really benefit all people in the near future.
So little Bell was really happy.
But she couldn't answer this question.
Even though the common people are struggling in dire straits now, there are too many wealthy and powerful families in the nearby capital who are addicted to waste.
This is probably what the poem says, "The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets"!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingling also sighed in her heart.
Turning around, he comforted her, "Sister Tong, we can't control others, but we can control ourselves. If you feel sad, then we should start saving money from ourselves.
Although our power was weak, we did it, and that is enough.
And don't worry, Godfather has a solution. The drought will eventually be cured."
