Chapter 201 A bright future
The official immediately coughed twice, and glanced at his surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, with an official look on his face, as if he was trying to cover up his mistake.
He said to Shen Zhiqiu: "Go, bring your family here, we can arrange for you to go to the city today."
After expressing his gratitude, Shen Zhiqiu hurried back. You know, they had inquired before that even if they had registered, they still had to queue up and enter the city in order.
Even some people who registered on the same day could not enter the city gate and had to queue up at the city gate and wait for their turn before they could enter.
And he was very excited. You know, he was in a heavy mood and felt uneasy before coming here. Now that he was going back, his steps were a little unsteady, as if he was in a dream.
I didn't spend a penny, and I didn't say a word to please him. It seems that everything I did before was just in vain.
Fu Huaian had already made all the arrangements and even sent Ah Chi to come and say hello.
But what he couldn't understand was that the tokens had been taken back before, and no other instructions were given before leaving, and his ancient father-in-law was just a personal guard of the other person's grandfather.
According to the thinking of those great figures in ancient times, such relatives of subordinates should not be within the scope of care.
As I said, after all, they are very busy!
Could it be that he was just throwing out four words at a time, using all the words that her daughter and he had lamented about, and he told the story to the famine-stricken people very vividly, so the general took special care of him because he told the story so well?
He walked absent-mindedly, his thoughts wandering.
The villagers were waiting anxiously. Many of them came forward with their bowls in hand and asked, "How about it? Can you take a few babies with you?"
Shen Zhiqiu woke up with a start and urged, "Hurry up, gather everyone, push everything and follow me."
"What are you doing? There are so many people queuing up for porridge."
"When are you going to make porridge? Come with me first. If the official is dismissed soon, we will regret it. Let's go to the cart first and I will explain it to you in detail."
In fact, he didn't want to go into details at all, mainly because he felt that time was tight and the task was urgent, so he wanted to save every second.
After a busy day, the group finally arrived at the city gate. The official was stunned by their look: "Shen Huaizhi, don't you have too many family members?"
Shen Zhiqiu argued that these were all his people.
The official raised an eyebrow: "Does your clan have any other surnames?"
Shen Zhiqiu said: "It's nine clans. If you commit a crime, all nine clans will be punished. It shows how close the nine clans are. You can't have happiness but not share it with others, but you can let them share the hardship, right?"
The official was speechless, but he felt that what Shen Zhiqiu said seemed to make sense, yet there was something wrong.
Seeing that the official was silent, Shen Zhiqiu smiled and pointed at Master Shen: "This is my grandfather."
Then he pointed at Shen Changqing: "My second uncle."
The second uncle nodded and smiled innocently: "Yes, this is my nephew, we look alike."
The official thought to himself, it doesn’t look very similar!
Shen Zhiqiu waved his hand and drew a circle: "These are all my Shen family members. They are my ancestors."
He pointed at Old Man Shen, who also stepped forward and said, "I am his biological father, and these are all my people."
The mother of my eldest brother-in-law Wang Fuxi, Old Lady Wang, stepped forward courageously and took the initiative to accept the offer: "I am her second aunt, from the mother's family."
The main reason is that Old Lady Wang believes that even if you say they are relatives, they may not necessarily let you follow them.
Doctor Guo gave his wife a look, and Mrs. Guo understood and said, "I am his third aunt, and this is my old man."
By the way, he also pointed at the doctor.
Hunter Gao was also cheerful: "I am his fourth uncle, his fourth aunt is gone, and his mother is the eldest sister."
Old Lady Hua also nodded repeatedly: "I am his biological mother, and these are all my sisters' relatives."
Shen Zhiqiu pointed at Li Quan again, Da Hu and Er Hu: "This is my wife's family."
The official couldn't help but complain: "Your family escaped the famine together. What's the matter? Did you have a family gathering before escaping the famine?"
Shen Zhiqiu looked as if he had been guessed right by the official: "Our village is small. Apart from my clan members, there are only my maternal family members in the village. If I hadn't received the news, would I have taken a few people from my wife's clan and fled the famine with the whole village?"
All right. The official didn't have much time to waste on talking to Shen Zhiqiu. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring a wooden box and open it. Inside was a big red sign.
He motioned to Shen Zhiqiu: "Take it, and order the account according to the card!"
After saying this, he didn't even look at Shen Zhiqiu picking up a few signs, but lowered his head and sipped the tea in the cup.
Shen Zhiqiu understood and immediately stepped forward and took out eighteen red cards from the wooden box.
After taking it, he handed it to Old Man Shen behind him, turned around and looked at the official, and their eyes met.
Shen Zhiqiu's eyes were full of solemnity and gratitude. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
A smile also flashed in the official's eyes. The two of them had a tacit understanding and understood each other tacitly this time.
Shen Zhiqiu understood, and they were also smart people. They talked about your father's family, your mother's family, and your wife's family. Don't say there is water in it. Even if it is all true, they would not allow you to bring so many people with them without special circumstances.
What's more, whether they are from your maternal family or not, people can tell by looking at the household registration. Why do the four sisters from your maternal family have different surnames?
I am really stumped on this question.
But there was something meaningful in his words, saying, stop talking nonsense, just take as many households as you are entitled to and settle down according to the signs, that's what he meant.
That's why Shen Zhiqiu was grateful that the other person didn't point it out.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why others were willing to show mercy was not because of him, but because of General Fu Huaian.
At this point, even Shen Youyou had to admit that they had benefited from Fu Huaian's help.
At this moment, I really didn't curse him in my heart for coming at the wrong time and stealing the food that should have belonged to them, as well as their gold, silver and treasures.
Let’s not talk about whether the gold, silver and treasures are enough to exchange for so many people.
Even if it was enough, he was afraid that when he took out the gold and silver, what he would get in return would not be a redemption, but a direct exile.
Because it was strange in itself that ordinary farmers like them could come up with such gold, silver and treasures.
Even if you can explain that it was stolen by bandits.
Well, they can deal with the bandits who try to sneak into the refugee group on the spot.
Thinking about it this way, she was even a little relieved. Even if the food and money they got from fighting the bandits were used to buy a stable place for their entire village, they still made a profit.
When the flatbed trucks passed through the city gate, everyone was shaking with excitement. It felt like a dream, and everything seemed unreal.
The subordinates beside the official looked at the old men entering the city and whispered:
"Sir, why don't you give us the rose-red and jujube-red ones? The bright red ones are directly distributed to the villages near the capital.
Under the emperor's feet, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Even the rural areas are richer than the villages in other provincial capitals. They are very popular right now.
Besides, the villages over there are densely populated. Which village can accommodate a group of more than 200 people?
Moreover, many families have already been arranged to live there. Unless we break them up and relocate two or three families to each village, we really can’t let them go.”
