"Hello, everyone. Welcome. Dongzhu said that you are all good fighters. You will have to protect us in the future."
A group of children who were playing ran over to the side of the road to watch. Some older children shouted at the soldiers while the others waved their hands.
The soldiers' children smiled. They wanted to play with their new companions, but when they looked at their clothes and hands, they slowly lowered their heads.
Their clothes were not as good as those of their companions, and their hands were dirty. Would they be despised if they went over?
"My hands are dirty." A soldier's child generously stretched out his hand for the other children to see.
"It's okay. We were dirty before. Go take a bath, change your clothes, and then apply some ointment." Zhuangzi's child explained how to operate.
It was not like they had not experienced hardship before, so they could understand the thoughts of their new companions.
"Then wait for us." The generous child no longer felt inferior and shouted seriously.
When they reached the bathtub, the villagers separated the men and women and brought them to take a bath.
The Winged Knights, Yu Huaide, and the others were also together. After such a long journey, a hot bath could relieve their fatigue.
While they were bathing, the villagers who went in with them measured their bodies and told them the size of their clothes and shoes. They did not want the previous ones and sent them to the papermaking workshop.
They taught them how to use bath towels, soap, and toothpaste.
After a full two hours, these people changed into new clothes and came out. They were all refreshed and felt like they had changed into new people.
"The houses have been prepared for everyone. After dinner, we will go and see the houses. The furniture and bedding are all complete. Dongzhu said to carry bags to live in.
As for the bags you brought, except for the things you miss, throw away everything else. First, take the medicine to fight the worms in your stomach, then eat. "
The villagers introduced the houses to the people in their respective groups.
The soldiers occasionally smelled the ointment on their hands and looked at everything curiously.
They had countless questions to ask, but did not know how to ask.
When they arrived at the canteen, the soldiers felt the temperature in the canteen. It was very comfortable. It was neither hot nor cold. They could even take off their clothes.
"This is where we will eat in the future. Don't cook at home. It's a waste of time. You can eat whatever you want in the canteen. You can come any time. Take your medicine."
The 'guides' said as they gave out a new type of candy.
"Is this medicine? Is there any more? I want to eat more. "A child ate the candy and smacked his lips. He felt that it tasted pretty good.
"You can only eat again tomorrow. If there are worms in your stomach, they will be beaten down. Dinner is about to start. Now, let's eat a small bowl of noodles to fill our stomachs and go home to rest. "
The farmer smiled and patted the child's head, explaining the situation. It was already New Year's Eve, and the child could not eat too much for this meal.
There were six types of braised food on the side.
"I still want to eat more." The child who had never eaten the Braised Meat Noodles felt that it was gone after a few mouthfuls. He was even hungrier.
"There's meat to eat tonight. Let's go and look at the houses." The villager stopped them. Don't eat anymore. If you continue eating, what will happen at night?
A house is a building, one for each family, a tall water tower, running water, and methane gas lamps.
Needless to say, there were beds, tables, chairs, wardrobes, and small tables.
Brand new bedding was spread on the bed, and there was a fragrance coming from it.
When the military households were choosing their houses, they were all in a daze.
Even though he had already made his choice, he didn't dare to touch the bedding on the bed. He felt that his hands were dirty.
"Wah!" A woman covered her face and squatted there, crying out loud.
She cried and said, "I never thought that there would be such a house. When I got married, I already felt that it was not bad. Now … God, am I dreaming?"
"Don't cry, don't cry. In the future, even if I have to risk my life, I will do what Dongzhu asked me to do well."
The woman's husband reached out and pulled his wife up. He had the strength to do so. His other hand was clenched into a fist as he spoke.
The farmer who brought them over to introduce them did not have the slightest intention of looking down on them. This was because they had also experienced it.
The same woman advised, "Why are you crying? In the future, you have to do your job well. Only then can you not let Dongzhu down. We are looking forward to your arrival. Zhuangzi has a lot of people, a lot of money, and a lot of secrets. We are counting on you to guard Zhuangzi. "
After some comforting, the woman finally stopped crying. She pushed open the two-story window and looked outside.
The cold wind blew in. She was curious, "Where is the stove in the house? Do you want more firewood? "
"There is no stove or heater. This window has two layers and is completely closed. There is a layer of tarpaulin outside to block the light. However, the wind cannot enter. Usually, it has to be opened occasionally …"
The farmer then explained what the heater was and how to open and close the window.
After he finished speaking, he left the military households to familiarize themselves with their home and rest. The farmer then left.
The military households could not rest at all. They were in a state of excitement.
The children had their own rooms. The girls had big sewn dolls. The boys had toys made of wood and wire, burr puzzles, nine linked rings, and so on.
The floor-to-ceiling curtains were all made of satin. The amount of satin was enough to buy a house in the original place.

Outside, Li Yi and the Winged Knights, Yu Huaide, and the others sent them off. Yu Huaide and a group of people pulled carts of vegetables and left.
The Winged Knights did not say anything. They led the horse back. They were reluctant to ride it. It was only a distance of about ten miles.
After sending them off, Li Yi went back to rest and gave the baby acupuncture.
The little fellow's body temperature had been controlled between 36.6 to 37.8 degrees Celsius. He had stopped coughing.
"It seems that you will be fine before the fifth day of the new year. Good luck." Li Yi said to the little fellow.
"Ah, ah!" The baby was in the arms of the woman. He shouted at Li Yi. He did not cry when he was stabbed in the head.
Li Yi's hands were steady. He inserted the needle in one go. There were many places on the baby's head that could be inserted. Otherwise, he would have buried the needle. However, he was afraid that the baby's head would move and touch the buried needle.
Li Yi lay down beside the baby and fell asleep. The little fellow looked at him for a while. He yawned and closed his eyes. He fell asleep faster than Li Yi.
Outside, they took turns to rest and work. On the thirtieth day of the twelfth month of the second year of the Kaiyuan Era, which was also the twelfth day of the second month of the Gregorian calendar. The sky still turned dark early.
This was still the case with the second month.
The military households were happy. The farmers were also very happy. Some of them saw that the people in the military households were strong and iron-blooded.
The scars on their bodies left behind by battles gave them a sense of security.
A hundred people who could fight. With a crossbow and heavy armor, as well as a good horse, who would dare to provoke their Zhuangzi in the future?
When the sky turned dark, large red lanterns were hung up one by one.
The farmers, the villagers of the Zhang Family Village, the migrant workers, and the people of the Imperial Plantation all gathered here.
The people who had rested found a place to sit down and waited for the Pyong Kang Square's' everyone 'to perform.
The girls of the Pyong Kang Square had rested enough. They got up to take a bath and put on makeup.
"Elder sister, Chang 'an must be even more lively. The Ming Residence is acting according to Li Lang's arrangements. Many sisters are going out to sing and dance."
The maid said to Xin Yan. This year's New Year was different from previous years. Chang 'an specially organized activities.
Xin Yan looked at the glass mirror and raised her eyelashes. When she heard this, she smiled. "Do they have the cosmetic box that Li Lang gave them? Look at how beautiful this eyelash brush is.
Their ice lanterns are comparable to Zhuangzi's ice lanterns. This lipstick even has a glow. Li Lang said it was called Pearl Light and was specially prepared for us.
This cosmetic box is amazing. With Li Lang looking after you, do you still think it's not enough? "
