Chapter 154: Li Hua's Monthly Pass)
With the multi-pronged approach of two or two and a half people, not only did the epidemic be quickly extinguished, but the health and mental outlook of the victims also improved significantly.
They no longer look like beggars, and they look no different from ordinary citizens in Nancheng.
It's even cleaner.
After all, in Nancheng, there are no "inner armor, inner armor" who urge the people to take a bath, wash their hair and wash clothes every day.
The people of the Ming Dynasty loved life the most. When someone helped them break free from the quagmire of stagnation, their lives gradually returned to normal.
~~
After the fifth hour, the sky was lit up, and there was movement in the rows of brand new bamboo houses in Xin'an Minsheng.
That was the sound of hardworking housewives getting up and cooking.
In the row of resettlement houses in the fourth and sixth miles, there was a villager named Li Hua, his wife Liang, and their three children.
Liang is a clean woman. She would rather get up half an hour earlier than others than clean up the simple bamboo house first.
Moreover, other people's houses are full of land, but her houses are filled with bamboo floors.
That was when she and her children took advantage of their leisure time to pick up the remaining bamboos from the construction, and took them back and cut them into thick bamboo strips with her husband, and then weaved them into bamboo mats and spread them on the ground.
In this way, the house will no longer be soiled. Not only will it be much cleaner, the children can also play in the house with barefoot, which will make the children next door envious.
As for the tables, chairs and benches in the house, they were all the original furniture of her family. Although they were already broken and broken every year, Liang wiped them clean and spread a thick blue tablecloth.
Then put the flowers raised in the bamboo tube. The bamboo tube was secretly untied and used for her as a flowerpot while building the house.
And the flowers were picked by the children from Yufeng Mountain and given to their mothers.
With these bright colors, the bamboo house becomes lively and the warmth of home is also felt.
After appreciating his arrangement with satisfaction, Liang took a load and went out not far away to fetch water at the well belonging to Sibao.
Mr. Xu, who spoke funny, said that because the well water does not interfere with the river water, the well water is much cleaner than the river water.
Although Liang couldn't understand the relationship between the two, what scholars said always makes sense.
Anyway, since she dug the well, she has only used water for the well and has never been to the river to get water once again.
~~
At this moment, the genius had just turned white and there were few people who fetched water. Liang quickly carried two buckets of water and went home.
There is no water tank at home, and even the bucket is shared with the sister-in-law's family, so she has to hurry up.
Liang first lit the fire pit, sat on the pot, and then poured water into the pot.
While boiling water, she dipped a coarse cloth into water and carefully scrubbed the floor.
The bamboo floor cannot be washed directly with water, as the water will seep under the floor and accumulate moisture. You can only wipe it carefully.
At this time, there was movement in the bedroom separated by a curtain, and then it became noisy.
Her three children are twelve years old and four years old, and are boys. There is also a six-year-old girl.
The two young people were the most naughty, and they almost started to make a fuss when they opened their eyes. They suddenly opened the curtain, rushed out with their bare butts, and chased them in the house.
"Don't run around, slide carefully!" Li Hua chased out with his upper body naked, and shouted while wearing a small jacket: "Don't touch the pot!"
The quiet room was immediately in chaos.
In the past, Liang felt very annoyed whenever this happened, but now she only feels happy and very happy.
A month ago, it was quiet and quiet. The whole family of five curled up like mice in the dark and smelly shack. The youngest son was so sick that he was thrusting in the middle of the night, and the youngest daughter was too hungry to move, but the couple was at a loss.
The deadly atmosphere made her extremely worried that she would lose her child in this famine.
This is not an unfair worry. Every time she fled, the child died. Last year, her sister-in-law's youngest son disappeared...
Liang felt very scared, afraid that it would be his child's turn this year.
Fortunately, God was kind to Kunshan and brought Zhao County Magistrate to Kunshan.
Although Liang had never seen that old parent, she could personally feel how great changes he had brought to Kunshan County and the disaster-stricken people.
In just one month, her family's life broke free from the desperate situation.
Especially after recently building the dike, the old parents have increased their food.
The couple joined their son to work for the county, and in addition to supporting the family of five, they could even save some surplus food.
The children were cured and their stomachs were filled, and they became reborn and started to make trouble.
The worry that was in danger disappeared.
How great.

Li Hua finally grabbed the two dolls, clamped them under his arm, and forced them to take them out to take off their hands and wash.
Then he would carry a load of water and deliver it to his elder brother's house.
My eldest son Miwa packed up the bedding and put it in the box before pulling the curtain open and the room suddenly became bright.
"Mom, it smells so good. What delicious food did you make?" Miwa was growing up, like a little wolf who couldn't feed her.
"Bring rice with lotus leaves." Liang washed the rag and handed it to his son, asking him to wipe the bamboo mat on the bed.
"No, there is also the smell of meat." Miwa said excitedly while rubbing the bamboo mat: "Mom, have you added the meat sausage I won!"
"Dog nose." Liang lifted the lid of the pot with a funny look, and the white air rose up. The rich fragrance was so strong that it was so greedy that the child next door was crying.
In fact, this was done by her child while she was sleeping last night, otherwise the time was too tight in the morning and there would be no time to cook lotus leaf rice.
Liang asked his eldest son while bringing the pot from the fire pit to the wooden board beside him.
"Are you still catching mice today?"
"I won't go. It's gone nearby long ago. The monks from Huiju Temple said that the mice in this area scared us so much that they all moved."
Miwa said with satisfaction and disappointment: "I caught it yesterday, I'm afraid it's the last one."
"Then let's go out with your mother." Liang said, putting three big rice dumplings on a plate and handing them to his son, "Send them to your grandma."
Miwa quickly ran out with her plate on her shoes, and soon she took her younger brother and sister and threw off her shoes and rushed in.
"Eat purse meat rice!" The children cheered and picked up a pack of rice, without feeling hot, and they tasted happily.
Li Hua also came back for dinner. But the children did not notice that the lotus leaf rice they ate was really wrapped in rice, without any meat slices.
As soon as the couple had dinner, Chief A was shouting at the front of the house to start work. Li Hua quickly stood up with a slight mouth.
Liang also quickly got up, picked up the shoulder pole placed beside the wall, and hung her man's tile knife with a hemp rope on her head.
Li Hua took the shoulder pole handed over by his wife, grinned at her, "I'm working, you guys are careful on the way.
"Well, you should be careful too." Liang nodded.
Li Hua touched the eldest son's head and kissed the two younger ones. At this time, the village chief also rang the gong, and he quickly ran out.
After her husband left, Liang asked Miwa to clean up the dishes and then sent the two young men to the sister-in-law's side, so that the old lady and sister-in-law could watch.
Her eldest uncle also started working, and her sister-in-law was not well-behaved and couldn't row the boat, so she stayed at home and weaved baskets with her mother-in-law while watching the children. In fact, it was very hard.
When he got home, Miwa had already cleaned up the dishes and put out the fire in the pond.
Liang closed the door and took his son out of Xin'an Minsheng, and went to Zhihetang to find his own boat.
Then the mother and mother held the oar, paddled towards the north gate, and drove out of the water gate and into the Lou River.
Countless ships of all sizes gathered from all directions into the Lou River, forming a huge fleet and sailing westward.
Target the western mountain of Taihu Lake!
