The place to eat was chosen in the open space next to Wang Jian's house.
Several long raised roadbeds can accommodate many people.
"What a strong young man!"
Several tall refugees couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Erdan laying down the bamboo.
When they entered the village, they paid careful attention to everyone in Majiazhuang.
When I saw the strong physiques of Erdan, Ma Dayong and Ma Dayan, I was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, in a small village, three people with explosive muscles appeared.
These refugees are very active in organizing meals.
The women helped pick and wash vegetables, the men helped move and set the table, and there were even a few men competing to cook.
The number of people eating has changed from number 60 to number 530, and the amount of food and vegetables needed is astronomical.
So Wang Jian asked people to kill all the pheasants, rabbits and birds that they had caught.
The only hen in Han Xuelian's family was able to save her life because she had to lay eggs for Yaodan to eat.
Different from the bustle outside, Wang Jian, Ma Sanye and others were sitting in the yard discussing things.
Fu Bo stood up and reported on the recruitment situation.
"There are 118 new long-term workers, all aged 20 to 30. Including their wives and children, the total number of people is 470."
So many people The absence of an elderly person has lowered the average age of Majiazhuang by more than ten years.
Ma Sanye looked through the gate with his eyes and said with emotion, "More than 200 children, if they live in Majiazhuang for a long time, they will be the future of the village!"
Han Xuelian, who was in charge of finance, was in a different mood at this time. She frowned and said, "There are more than 400 people, and they consume at least 500 kilograms of food every day."
"If Without income in a short period of time, the remaining money and food in Majiazhuang will not be able to survive for a few days."
The old men who were extremely happy just now suddenly became depressed.
Even Ma Chengcai, who had been immersed in recording, raised his head at this moment and racked his brains to think about the food consumed in the village every day.
Wang Jian looked at everyone's gloomy expressions, stood up and said with a smile, "In two days we can officially go dig the well. By then, we will have a steady stream of money back. Are we still worried about running out of food?" ”
After the backbone spoke, everyone relaxed and gathered around the table to talk in low voices.
When there are too many people, there are too many things to do, and we have to think about all aspects of the problem.
The village moved out all the tables, chairs and benches that could hold food and people, but still there were more than 300 people sitting on the ground.
Today’s meal was not only a reception meal, but also a conversation meal, so Mr. Ma and Uncle Fu kept changing places.
All men gatherThey are concentrated on the left, occupying most of the tables. A small number of tables on the right are used for serving dishes. Women and children sit on the floor to eat.
More than 500 people gathered together, which was extremely loud and lively.
The big iron pot is busy turning around, and the fried vegetables are more fragrant.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
A group of little kids surrounded a few people serving dishes and shouted loudly.
Mr. Ma walked over and shouted, "Go back to your place and get ready to eat!"
This huge group of children turned into birds and beasts and scattered, running to their mothers' sides one after another. Staring at the person serving the food, his eyes gleamed.
While the food was being served, Mr. Ma stood in the secondary seat and said loudly, "Everyone, please stop watching and move your chopsticks quickly. Let's talk after eating."
< p> After the host spoke, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating."Wow! The meat is so fragrant!"
"The vegetables are also fragrant!"
This meal was eaten like a wolf.
The little guy Yaodan gathered with a group of children. He stood in the center of the crowd with a bowl full of vegetables and kept making loud gestures with his hands and feet.
The children around him exclaimed for him from time to time.
"Yaodan, eat well." Han Xuelian, who was standing outside, glared at him and scolded in a low voice.

Yao Dan didn’t dare to show off any more, so he sat down angrily and buried himself in the food.
Sitting opposite Yao Dan, a girl with cross-haired hair and a dirty face was holding a rice bowl with only a piece of chicken and a few green vegetables.
She looked at the fragrant big chicken drumsticks in the egg bowl with burning eyes, and the tears from the corners of her mouth flowed to the ground.
When Yaodan raised his head, he noticed something strange about his little sister. He lowered his head and looked at the big chicken drumstick in the bowl, and then handed the drumstick to the little girl.
He glanced at the chicken legs reluctantly and said, "Here you go, these are my favorite chicken legs. I guarantee you will want to eat them again."
The little girl timidly said He raised his head and glanced at his mother, not daring to take the chicken leg that Yao Dan handed over.
The girl's mother was a slender woman. She bent down and said softly, "Little boss, I'd better leave the chicken legs to you. There is meat in the girl's bowl."
"Give it to my sister. I'm almost tired of eating this every day."
Yaodan grabbed the chicken leg into the girl's bowl, looked at it reluctantly, then raised his head and said to the woman innocently said.
The girl's mother glanced at Han Xuelian timidly, and when she saw that she didn't say anything, she didn't know what to do.
Wang Jian saw Yao Dan's movements, and he shouted to the girl, "Little girl, just take it when Brother Yao Dan gives it to you."
The boss spoke Okay, the little girl took the chicken leg and said happilySaid "Thank you, brother Yao Dan."
Yao Dan grinned, his two front teeth were lost somewhere, and he said softly, "You're welcome, sister, please eat quickly."
Mr. Ma Sanye said with a smile to Wang Jian, who was sitting at the head of the table, and Zhang Ji, who was sitting at the bottom, "Yaodan and Yaya are a good match. We can make a date for them."
Wang Jianxiao Without saying a word, he didn't like the baby kiss.
Zhang Ji glanced at Wang Jian and said in panic, "My boss, please don't be so impatient. Yaya is not worthy of the Young Master."
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading!
Yao Dan’s little move was noticed by everyone, especially the newly arrived refugees. Seeing that their boss treated them like family members, everyone was moved to tears.
Have they ever been treated as human beings?
After finishing the meal, all the refugees touched their full stomachs and said that they felt comfortable eating.
Their bloodless faces were also somewhat rosy.
Mr. Ma Sanye glanced at the whole audience, stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet."
The buzzing voices in the scene slowly quieted down, with a few still talking. The little kid who was talking was also covered by his mother.
"Please let our big boss come up and say a few words. Let's all applaud." After finishing speaking, Mr. Ma took the lead in applauding.
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
Wang Jian finished the bone soup in the bowl, stood up and walked to the center of the crowd under the eyes of everyone.
Cleared his throat and said loudly.
"You dragged your family and left your hometown, climbed countless mountains, just to go to Chang'an to beg for a stutter, but have you ever thought about the future?"
Everyone lowered their heads. , said nothing.
Wang Jian continued, "Not to mention the dangerous road to Chang'an, even if you go to Chang'an, do you still want to live a precarious life by begging for soup?"
No one said anything. , they looked at Wang Jian eagerly, the scene was quiet and only breathing could be heard.
Along the way, they saw too many separations between life and death, and white silk hanging on the roadside.
But what can they do?
Even though they knew the journey was long and dangerous, they still wanted to go to Chang'an.
If you don’t go, you will starve to death.
"When you came here, did you see the well at the entrance of the village?"
"That is our own well-drilling technology in Majiazhuang!"
"As long as you stay in Majiazhuang and follow Majiazhuang to dig wells, you will not only be able to eat three meals a day, but you will also earn more money every month than you and your wife make in a year of hard work!"
After hearing Wang Jian's last words, a thunder seemed to explode in every refugee's mind.
