Otherworldly Days

Chapter 245

"Please, please, please help my father, I kowtow to you..." A child who was pushed out fell to the ground, got up, ran over and hugged his leg and cried loudly .

Cao Xiangnan frowned, pulled the kneeling child up, and asked, "What's going on?"

An old man in the crowd stood up and told the situation of the child's family. It turned out that the child had no mother and lived with his father. The father was sick and lying in bed, and the child came with the crowd. Caojiacun.

Could it be that the village chiefs in their own villages all eat shit?A child asked for help and came to another village, they really had the face!But if these people wanted face, they wouldn't come to their home to make trouble today.

Cao Xiangnan remembered that when he was lying on the bed, the whole family of his father and mother were trying to drive the three of them out, let alone the village chiefs and elders in the village would help him.Apart from being demons in the village, these people really didn't do anything good for the villagers.

"Keep your tears away!" Cao Xiangnan yelled when he saw the little boy looking up at him with eyes full of tears.

The child was startled when he heard him, and reached out to wipe away the tears on Li's face, not daring to shed any more tears.

Turning around and whispering something to Cao Gang, Cao Xiangnan said "Hmm".

Looking down, he found that the child was still looking at him eagerly, suppressing his bad mood, Cao Xiangnan tried to be as friendly as possible, and said, "I will arrange someone to go back with you and bring your father over."

Because he knew that if he didn't help the child, maybe after this winter, the child would become an orphan without parents.Compared with Caojia Village, it is much better now. Even the two orphans in the village are in his home. Looking at the several children in ragged clothes standing there, Cao Xiangnan's eyes became hot.

"Third, after the snowfall last night, your house is really uninhabitable, and you can't find relatives or acquaintances to help you. After careful consideration, you stand up. There are not so many people in the academy." The house can't accommodate so many people."

After rounds of screening, Sun Yanmiao took the people down, and quickly delivered the counted number of people to him. Most of them were old people and children, and a small part was because the house at home could not accommodate people. There are a lot of people in the family, so we can arrange it at that time, and we can still live underground if we squeeze together.

As for the food and firewood that these people need to provide when they go to live in the academy, the village chiefs and the elders of the Lizheng clan will make arrangements for them personally because they don't have so much food and firewood in stock, and it's none of their business.This borrowing, they only borrow the house, Cao Xiangnan made it clear to the village chiefs and elders who brought people here, if they don't have any, they can use money to make up!

"Sun Yanmiao, Cao Gui, you take two teams over there." Cao Gang didn't say that there was room for negotiation on this matter.

Some people were also unwilling. They came here because they wanted to live in a good house. After walking such a long distance, they didn't get any benefits at all, and they were still blowing the cold wind outside for so long.But even if they were unwilling, they didn't dare to come to Cao's village to make trouble.

A group of old guys who were arrogant just now were scolded, and now they politely said a few words of thanks to them.It's really that their Caojia Village's current new village looks too cold, and they don't dare to join in with strangers.

The weather outside is not good, and it might snow if it is later, so we must deal with these people quickly.

Originally they could stay comfortably in the warm house with a fireplace and enjoy delicious afternoon tea, but now they had to brave the cold wind to arrange these old people and children outside, Cao Xiangnan cursed in his heart, "Fuck!"

Those old guys who came took a lot of people out and were going to return to their own villages. Except for some people who stayed, there were also some people who wanted to go back and bring food.When they came, everyone only brought a package and a few pieces of clothing. They really thought that they could eat and live for free when they came. Now that they knew they had to bring food, they had to go back and bring the food.

They Caojia Village also sent people to push the wheelbarrow to pull things. The eyes of the people in those villages lit up when they saw their wheelbarrow.

This batch of wheelbarrows was made by someone when the road was being repaired. Now that the road is repaired, these tools are also owned by the village.But I have to say that these wheelbarrows are very convenient for pulling things, and there is no problem of bad road conditions, which is very practical.

Cao Xiangnan ordered Wang Dahu to drive to him, and go with the child to pick up his father.Since he is ill, I am afraid that it is impossible to walk here, so we still have to use a carriage to pick him up.

"Gentlemen, and you go to the academy with us first, and I will arrange a place for you to live in first." Cao Xiangnan ordered Cao Wenxuan and Sun Sheng to work by his side, and there were still a few old men and women left here. Children, they will take these people to the academy first.

Several half-grown children had dirty faces and couldn't see their original appearance. They carried a package on their backs and brought all their "important" things.

"Let's go, I'll go with you too." Li Zheng said.

There are still a few vacant rooms on the side of the academy. The rooms here are all built according to the classroom standards for lectures, and the space inside is relatively large.When he arrived at the academy, Cao Xiangnan first arranged these people to live in the vacated rooms.

The people who used to live here saw so many people coming, came out and asked what happened, only to know that people from the neighboring village brought people from their village and arranged to live here.After everyone heard about it, they also came to help work one after another and arranged for these people to live in.

There were some simple wooden beds left before, but the number is still very limited. They can be arranged for these old people and children to sleep first. It’s already noon at this time. After walking so far, everyone’s stomach is still growling. It's too hungry.Cao Xiangnan met several old people and children here, and waved to the people here to distribute some food to these old people and children.

After walking so far in the snow, and with the cold wind blowing outside for so long, I feel cold and hungry.When they walked into the warm room, someone gave them food. Several hungry children squatted together, holding the corn buns made of coarse grains in their hands, and ate them with big mouthfuls, for fear that someone would snatch them. like eating.

A few old people silently ate what was in their hands, took a sip of hot water, and swallowed what was in their mouths, which showed that they were also hungry. Arrangement. This one is Cao Gang, the head of Caojia Village." Cao Xiangnan pointed at himself and then at Cao Gang.

"I would like to make a few requests to you little ones. First, no fighting is allowed. Second, those who can work should try their best to help with work. There are no idlers here. Third, when classes start in the academy, let me go Go to class." These children have no parents and no mother, and they all have unconcealed wildness. Cao Xiangnan was also worried that they would fight for food, so he raised these requirements first, and said, "Those who are lazy in fighting and refuse to learn, all Get out."

"If you can't get enough to eat, if you're hungry, go to work for food!"

With food stuffed in their mouths, swarthy faces, and eyes like wild wolf cubs looking at him, Cao Xiangnan took a deep breath. Seeing these children, his heart stopped.

He knew that these children had no parents, and seeing that they were not very old, the older ones might be eleven or twelve years old, while the younger ones looked to be four or five years old.

"Do you want to study?" Cao Xiangnan glanced at a few children swallowing the food in their mouths quickly, and nodded seriously to him. He said, "After March, the academy will start here. Study in the academy. Children aged four to seven can be exempted, children aged seven to ten will be given half of the school, and those over ten years old will be given the full price.”

"I know that you are all children without parents. If you want to continue studying in the academy after the winter, please show me a good performance. After class this winter, there will be an assessment. You can stay here to study in the academy, and I will arrange a place for you when the time comes."

"As for the cost of studying, and the daily board and lodging expenses in the future, you can earn these expenses through part-time jobs." Seeing the hope ignited in the eyes of these children, it is not bad, Cao Xiangnan smiled slightly and said.

He has an inexplicable liking for these little wolf cubs, and he is not afraid to take in these old people and children.There is a saying that comes to find an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old man has their life experience, and these experiences are precious.As for these children, after training, they will be available in the future.

Cao Xiangnan asked if any of these old people had crafts, and there were indeed a few old people who had crafts. After learning about it, he said that if he wanted to, he could stay in the academy and become a teacher , to teach children crafts.

"You can think about it first, and you don't need to give me an answer now. After the Lantern Festival, if you intend to stay, let's talk about it." Some crafts of this era are things that are not rumored, and some people Passed down from generation to generation, not to outsiders.

Cao Xiangnan didn't force these people to agree immediately, and left time for them to think about it, because they had to make arrangements at that time.

These old people and children will stay here, and a large part of the reason is that they were abandoned by their original villages, so they sent all these "burdens" here, and they insisted on taking over.

"These children are not bad, aren't they?" Cao Xiangnan walked out from inside, looked at Cao Gang, and said.

Cao Gang thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"Please, please, please help my father, I kowtow to you..." A child who was pushed out fell to the ground, got up, ran over and hugged his leg and cried loudly .

Cao Xiangnan frowned, pulled the kneeling child up, and asked, "What's going on?"
