Chapter 79 The grand occasion of moving in
  Many people also made the choice to return to the city after struggling.

Originally they were afraid of the method of disappearing into thin air, but now they no longer have the choice.

There were about thirty or fifty people, and they turned back with heavy steps.

Some of them were alone, while others had their families still in the city and came back to check on themselves.

The result was far more cruel than imagined.

By the time we returned to the city, it was already noon and many people were hungry.

The storm has passed, and the city is no longer being taken advantage of. It no longer provides free meals to so many people.

but……

"The grain shops in the city have been opened. People in need can go to the streets in the city to buy. Each person is limited to one pound."

The people who had just returned to the city and were still immersed in despair looked up blankly.

Well, the sounds are still coming from all directions, and I don’t know how.

"Is there food for sale?"

“Does the one-pound purchase limit mean that each person can only buy one pound?”

"That's enough. Who can eat a pound of grain a day?"

For those who are accustomed to saving, two or two meters a day is enough to survive.

“Where is this Center Street?”

"There are signs pointing the way outside. Who knows how to read and take us there?"

The people who went to the household registration management office before didn't know how to read, but they knew the approximate location and found it by wandering around.

Because the household registration office is near the tallest tower in the city.

This city is the largest built, and the tallest house is the city lord's palace, but the building is not.

In the center of the city, there is a high tower, which is eleven stories high, which is one foot taller than the city wall!
  It can be said to be the tallest tower they have ever seen in their lives.

"Isn't this simple? The tower is in the central square. It's the center. The grain store must be nearby. Let's just go to the tower and look for it."

Zhuang Wangyun said: "Everyone, I have studied for a few years and know a few words. If you don't mind, let me lead you."

"Ah, it's Mr. Zhuang who lived in the north of the territory before."

"There are actually so many literate people in our territory? I have never heard of it before."

"Speaking of which, hasn't the school in our territory been running for a long time? Why don't you still know how to read?"

Facing his mother's suspicious eyes, Wu Qiang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Mom, I didn't slack off when I went to school!
  I haven't learned those words yet. Our school didn't last long, and then we went home during the holidays to work on the farm.

Then within two days, the prairie people came again, and the school was forced to stop until they were defeated.

Both wives were injured and rested at home for a while until school finally started.

Not long after I learned it, the wind started to blow again..."

These children are also very helpless, okay? They have just learned a little knowledge, but they keep stopping classes for various reasons.

So so far, they can only write their own names and learn some characters.

Moreover, they have never seen the street signs and are not sure whether they know the words. Who dares to come out and say that they know the words?

"Okay, if you let me know that you are lazy in studying, I will whip you!"

You must know that it is studying. Even before being exiled, their family could not afford to study.

After being exiled, but thanks to Mr. Ming's favor, he could recite for free.

Everyone seemed to have remembered the benefits of the territory again, and said with some regret: "Oh, if the territory hadn't been flooded and the house collapsed, I would have been reluctant to leave."

"Yes, if nothing else, it's worth it just to be able to let the children go to school for free."

"It doesn't matter if you work hard, it's true that your children will have a bright future."

Zheng Chunsheng was speechless, "Have you people forgotten that the two masters in the territory have all stayed in the city." The people who felt sorry just now were stunned, as if...the masters were gone.

So even if you stay in the territory, you will no longer have a master?

Thinking of this, their feelings of pity just now subsided again.

Now that that advantage is gone, it's better to live in the city. At least you don't have to worry about the house being blown down by the wind again after it's built.

"Let's go quickly. Let's buy food quickly. Otherwise, the people in the two buildings next door will run out of food later."

"Yes, yes. Leave quickly!"

Everyone came back to their senses, yes, there must be a lot of people who can read, but everyone just didn't say anything on weekdays.

Don't wait until all the food is sold out while they are pondering here, and they will be hungry.

Zheng Chunsheng walked with Zhuang Wangyun, and asked on the way, "Brother Zhuang, are you ready to settle in this city?"

"Yes, after all, it is a formal household registration. It is better than carrying the name of a exile from Xishu for the rest of your life."

"Haha, Brother Zhuang has always been smarter than me. This time, I will listen to you. I hope we can all live safely."

Don't really become a reserve food for monsters.

***
  A large wave of people headed towards Center Street.

The grain store has been opened, and Qin Huaiyi is currently watching it. After all, the school hasn't opened yet.

As for the food, it was naturally Qin Jia who drew it.

There are rice, cornmeal, white flour, and some multigrain beans, etc. There are complete varieties and the prices are not high.

In addition to grain, there are also seasonings, chili, salt, sugar and so on.

There are also vegetables, fresh vegetables, eggs and meat.

Today, Qin Jia no longer hides his unusualness.

Ye Ting straightened his back and wandered around the door of the grain store with sharp eyes to prevent any unsighted person from bullying his owner's father.

A group of people hurriedly went to buy food, wearing everything.

Most people have raincoats, a few people have oil-paper umbrellas, and more people only wear a straw hat to protect themselves from the drizzle.

"Huh? Is that a food store there? There are so many people queuing up."

I saw many people lining up in front of me. There were about a hundred people in the queue.

Moreover, they heard the voice that could reach their ears clearly.

This time it wasn't a girl's voice, but a woman's voice.

"It's Mrs. Qin's voice." People who had dealt with Fang Yuerong recognized it.

Zhuang Wangyun also explained: "That's not a grain store, it's a household registration office."

"Are they here to settle down?"

"There are so many people. I thought everyone was just waiting and watching, but I didn't expect there were so many brave people!"

"Stop making noise and listen to what Mrs. Qin's wife is saying."

“After you settle in, you will belong to the people of Rose City, so you can consider renting a house.

There is electricity in the house, but you may not know what electricity is. It is something that lights up the house when you press it.

You can also use this for cooking and cooking, and you can have hot water at home all day long.

But this electricity is not free. It costs a penny per unit, so everyone should develop the habit of saving some and never waste it.

For example, if you want to turn off the lights, etc., you can do it if you don't want electricity. But if you cook, you can't cook it in the house, you have to cook it in the big kitchen outside. "

In the rental area, there is a very large kitchen, which is full of small earthen stoves. There are about a thousand of them. Those who want to burn firewood can only burn them there.
