Chapter 37 Intrusion

Xinyang City has no other experience, but it is best at building houses and resettling residents.

Grandma Jing and her group were settled into a bright small wooden building with an orderly team. There were more than 30 people in the wooden building, but it was not crowded.

Beige sunlight came in from the window, and the convection wind blew up the fresh wood fragrance. In the wood fragrance, the decadent air seemed to be blown away, and the whole person became as lively as the densely growing trees outside.

They never thought that they could live in such a quiet house after being displaced.

The house was not fancy, and men, women, old and young lived together.

After going through so many things, these people did not quarrel when they were together.

"You just stay here for now. When the new house is built in a few days, you can move out one by one."

"Don't worry. The soldiers under our general are the best at building houses. A wooden building like this can be built by a few people in one or two days."

"The general said that when we come to Xinyang City, we are all one family." A kind sixty-year-old old lady followed and introduced the situation of Xinyang City to the refugees.

The old lady's surname is Jiang, and she moved to Xinyang City not long ago.

Old lady Jing thanked: "Thank you."

Grandma Jiang smiled and grinned, revealing her missing teeth: "Don't thank me, don't thank me, the general should be thanked."

Old lady Jing nodded: "Thank you, General Duan."

Not long after the old ladies sat down to rest in the house, someone came with bags of dried sweet potatoes to distribute to the refugees. In addition to dried sweet potatoes, there were also freshly steamed sweet potatoes.

The refugees stared at the dried sweet potatoes in the soldiers' hands. Each person got a big handful. Some took it and tasted it. It was sweet. They held it in their arms like a treasure and were reluctant to take a second bite.

They thought it was the rations given to them by General Duan. They were afraid of starvation. Now that they had food, they had to hide it and hold it tightly. They were reluctant to eat it.

Seeing them like this, Granny Jiang hurriedly advised them, "Eat it, eat as much as you want, it's sweet. The general said that when you come to Xinyang City, he will never let you go hungry."

A little boy took a bite of the dried sweet potato and asked, "What is this? Will there be more in the future?"

"This is called dried sweet potato. There are so many of them in Xinyang City that you can't eat them all."

"You can't eat them all?"

"Yes, eat them with confidence. In Xinyang City, as long as you work, you will never be hungry."

Just then, someone came over with a big pot, "Come and drink the soup! Drink the soup!"

This soup is the bone soup that is usually boiled in the canteen. It is very fragrant. The soldiers under the general like this bone soup with vermicelli the most, and then eat it with chopped green onions and chili as breakfast.

The bone soup with meat floating in it is very popular with everyone, so the canteen in Xinyang City boils bone soup all day long, and you can drink a bowl at any time.

After the refugees finished eating the dried sweet potatoes, they drank a bowl of salty and fragrant bone soup with meat flakes floating in it. They were so satisfied and happy that they were moved to tears just to have a bite of meat.
