Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties
Chapter 422 Busy giving porridge outside Jiangling City
Chen Chang walked through the bustling market and came to the backyard of Songhe Tower.
From a distance, he saw Yan Qianshi standing on the ladder, directing the craftsmen to repair the house.
Although Fatty Yan was tall and tall, he had no pretensions at the moment and was busy working with the craftsmen. His clothes were covered with dust and mud, but the smile on his face was still bright.
The house in the backyard of Songhe Tower has been in disrepair for a long time, and several places have begun to leak, which must be repaired in time.
In order to save money, Yan Qianshi did not hire too many craftsmen, so he could only work with the craftsmen himself.
Under the wall, Yan Xiu was teaching two children to read.
The two children were about six or seven years old. Their clothes were tattered but clean and tidy, and their hair was neatly trimmed. However, their workmanship was a little rough, and they were probably the work of their grandfather and grandson.
They listened carefully to Yan Xiu's explanation and read along from time to time, but they obviously had no cultural background and they stumbled over a few simple sentences.
When Yan Xiu saw Chen Chang coming in, he didn't stop reading, but just nodded slightly.
Fatty Yan came forward and greeted Chen Chang cordially.
"Brother Xian, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Fatty Yan pointed at the craftsmen and said, with the intention of giving some guidance.
Chen Chang nodded. This dear friend of his was not a bookworm, and the craftsmen were arranged in an orderly manner by him.
"According to this progress, it will be completed in three days. By then, we can enroll more children to study."
The backyard of Songhe Tower was temporarily converted into an academy, which only accepted children from poor families. Tuition was not charged, and two meals a day were provided. The children were only required to help Songhe Tower do what they could.
This is implemented in accordance with Chen Chang’s work-study program.
At first, the Yan family's ancestors and grandson found it unbelievable and thought it was impossible to achieve.
Although they are children, their appetites are not small, and Songhe Tower may not be able to afford them.
But Chen Chang said it was nothing serious and he could give it a try.
Currently, only two teenagers are enrolled.
These two teenagers were orphans among the refugees. Their parents and relatives starved to death on the roadside. Fortunately, they were discovered by the Yan family's grandparents and survived.
Both teenagers are very good directors, showing maturity that belies their age.
In my spare time while studying, I would take the initiative to help the guys in Songhelou with washing vegetables, washing dishes and other tasks within my ability.
Today's life is completely different from what they lived in the past, so both of them work very hard, fearing that if they don't do well there they will be kicked out of Songhe Tower.
Shopkeeper Qiu estimated that the work done by these two children was roughly equivalent to that of one clerk.
You only have to pay for the food, and you don't have to pay wages. This transaction is not considered a loss.
However, if there are more children, it will be difficult to say.
Chen Chang knew this well.
Of course, he would not let his children's work-study program be limited to the Songhelou family. The Lou family had many industries and needed a lot of talents.
Moreover, these children have been trained since childhood, and their level of loyalty is incomparable to those hired halfway.
Chen Chang and Fatty Yan chatted for a while longer. Yan Xiu had already finished reciting, greeted Chen Chang and walked out with the two teenagers.
Chen Chang was puzzled, and Fatty Yan said hurriedly: "Aweng is going outside the city. There are many refugees there. I heard that we will be giving porridge today, so he is going to help."
Despite the peaceful singing and dancing in Lincheng, there were quite a few refugees who escaped from the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi Dynasties. The city gates were not opened, otherwise the entire city would be flooded with refugees.
"I heard that the eldest lady in your family is also going to give soup."
Chen Chang curled his lips. This fat man had better information than he did. He lived in the mansion every day and didn't learn about it. The main reason was that Xiao Yu'er was injured and went to Lou Qingyi's place to recuperate. He had lost his eyes and ears.
Find a suitable opportunity to get Xiao Yu'er back as soon as possible. It's not enough to be deaf and blind.
"Let's go and see together!"
Fatty Yan was confused: "The work here is not finished yet, I have to..."
Chen Chang sneered: "Brother, you are the steward of this school, not a mason. You can just arrange the work, so why keep watching? They feel uncomfortable when you are around them."
As for cutting corners and cutting corners, Chen Chang is not afraid. Although today's craftsmen have skills, jobs are not easy to find.
Songhelou's wages are paid on a daily basis and are never in arrears. It is difficult to find such an easy-to-talk boss, so be careful if they don't dare to do anything.
The two of them walked about two miles out of the city when Chen Chang suddenly heard shouts coming from behind the small woods in front of them.
"Give me, give me...!"
"this is mine……!"
"Please give me one more, my child hasn't eaten anything all day long...!"
There were men and women, and from time to time the cries of children could be heard, making the place a mess.
Then, a foul smell drifted over with the wind, and the place ahead must be where the refugees gathered.
When they arrived at this place, Chen Chang stopped moving forward, which surprised Fatty Yan for a while.
"Why don't you leave? Aweng and the others should be right in front!" Fatty Yan jumped on his feet and looked forward.
Chen Chang stood there and hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked over in the direction where the sound came from.
Through the woods, there is a large grassland with two small straw huts set up in the middle of the grass. The refugees crowded towards the huts crazily, and the refugees who came out of the huts all held steaming cups in their hands.
broken bowl, looking ecstatic.
This was the first time Chen Chang saw such a scene. He soon discovered that Mr. Yan Xiu was diagnosing the pulse of the homeless people.
There wasn't even a place to sit in the wilderness, so the old man didn't care much and just sat on the ground. Fortunately, the place where he sat was slightly higher, so Chen Chang spotted him at a glance.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the hut.
"Don't grab it, everyone. Come one by one. Don't worry, there are people who are here. Fill a bowl first. If there's not enough to drink, come back again! - Hey, don't grab it. Everyone, line up."
Huh? This voice sounds so familiar!
It seemed to be Lou Qingyi's voice, and she was indeed here.
It’s hard to tell that the frosty Miss Lou is also an enthusiastic philanthropist.
He followed the sound and saw that the small hut was surrounded by people on three floors and three floors outside. Miss Lou could not be seen anywhere.
Chen Chang stood behind the crowd and jumped a few times.
I could faintly see a few servants standing inside, and then there was Miss Ziling in purple clothes.
Fatty Yan tugged on the corner of his clothes: "Since you are here, why don't you come up and say hello?"
Chen Chang rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Don't you have any idea about what happened between me and Miss Lou?
Seeing that he was motionless, Fatty Yan shook his head, left Chen Chang and strode forward, pushing through the crowd and walking into the hut. He soon stood next to Zi Ling and said something enthusiastically.
A guy who forgets his friends after seeing sex.
Chen Chang despised this very much.
