Chapter 156 Cave Settlement 4
After hearing this news, Jiang He jumped up and down on the spot, patting Guan Cheng's shoulder happily, without any coldness as before.
"Guan Cheng, we are really blessed by you! It's a great blessing! We homeless children are all poor working people. As long as we have a household registration, we are all poor peasants. If there is a place willing to take us in and it is a production brigade with high grain production, as long as we don't get lazy, we will definitely be able to support ourselves when we grow up!"
Zhang Erya understood and was stunned.
The other children were not so smart and were young. Seeing them happy, they also laughed foolishly.
They felt so happy to see Guan Cheng again after a few days of separation.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Aunt Xue's uncle is not at home. I don't know if the household registration thing will be successful in the end!" Guan Cheng said this, but his face was full of smiles.
Jiang He smiled and said, "No matter whether it succeeds or not, there is always a glimmer of hope, isn't it?"
Acting decisively, Jiang He directed everyone to pack up their belongings and leave Guandi Temple.
Their belongings were simple, including dog-beating sticks, broken pots and bowls, and all the dry grass and firewood in the temple were tied into bundles, tied tightly with twisted hemp ropes and carried on their backs.
They left in a mighty procession and arrived at Xishan in a mighty procession.
Some of the air-raid shelters were very deep, some were very shallow, some had a deep well in them, and some had toilets in them. The walls were covered with moss, but each air-raid shelter had ventilation settings. After all, if they moved here to avoid air raids, they needed to breathe fresh air.
There were also specially built stone chambers in the air-raid shelters, but there were not many of them.
Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun sorted out two stone chambers, which were covered with thick dry grass.
"Boys live in one room, girls live in another room, and the old mattress is for the girls to spread under their bodies."
As soon as Guan Cheng finished speaking, Feng Qingxue's voice came in from outside, "I have another old mattress here, bring it over for you to use. When I have time and materials, I will find a way to make a quilt for you to use in winter."
"Aunt Xue, you are here!" Guan Cheng welcomed her in, and at the same time took the old mattress and the backpack under the mattress she carried.
Feng Qingxue saw that all the children were there, and a very gratified smile appeared on her face. She said to Guan Cheng and Jiang He: "I have asked someone to find a way to get you some coarse grains such as bean dregs and bean cakes. If you are lucky, you may get some sweet potato noodles or something. I will send it to you after I get it. The quantity may not be much, so don't despise it."
Jiang He hurriedly said: "No, no, Aunt Xue, I also call you this to Guan Cheng. When we beg for food, those who are willing to give us a piece of bean dregs cake are all good people!"
What to eat cannot fill your stomach, as long as you don't starve to death.
In the past two years, they went out to beg for food, and saw many people who ate Guanyin soil after being extremely hungry, and finally couldn't defecate and suffocated to death.
Feng Qingxue took out a large copper pot with bumps and collision marks on the surface from the backpack, "I have seen that there is a well in the air-raid shelter and a stream outside. You can boil water and drink it, so you will get sick less. I will think of a way to see if I can ask someone to get you a pot, so that it is convenient for cooking. Home should look like home."
Hearing the last sentence, Guan Cheng, Jiang He, and Zhang Erya's noses were sore and tears burst out.
Home, yes, home, this is their home, the home where they depend on each other.
