Having just arrived in Northeast China, these new immigrants immediately fell in love with the new residence when they saw it.

After all, it is a brand new brick house with a big yard.Even the wealthy families in their impression rarely reach this level.

Next is rooming.

The five members of Chen Laowu's family were assigned to a courtyard in the center of the village.

Pushing open the door and walking in, before the husband and wife could do anything, the three children screamed in surprise.

The yard is very large, and it is completely surrounded by red brick walls. It is a world that belongs exclusively to their family.

From the courtyard gate to the house, it was more than 30 meters away.There is a trail in the middle, and on both sides are the original land that has not been treated in any way.

Chen Laowu, who has been a farmer all his life, immediately thought that when the weather is warmer, planting some vegetables and fruits in the fields on both sides may be enough for the whole family to eat for a year.

What surprised him even more was that there was actually a warehouse next to the courtyard wall on the west side.

It's empty now, but you can store a lot of tools in it in the future.

Houses in Northeast China are naturally different from those in Henan for the sake of keeping warm and cold.

Zhao Zhihe led the family into the door and began to explain to them.

"The pot and stove are right at the door, so you don't have to worry about getting the inside dirty when you carry firewood and coal back and forth in the future. Both the pot and the stove are connected to the kang inside. In winter, as long as the fire is lit, the whole The house will be warmed up, so you don’t have to worry about freezing.”

Chen Laowu and his wife listened very carefully, looking at the cauldron with a radius of one and a half feet, they were even more delighted.

Such a big iron pot, they didn't even dare to think about it when they were in their hometown, and they couldn't afford it at all.

But here, it is standard.

The house is divided into three rooms.

Entering from the door is the kitchen, where pots, stoves, cabinets, tables, chairs, and benches are all placed.There is also a small room at the back that can be used to store things.

The two rooms inside are living places.

Not to mention spacious and bright, the kang has already been built next to the south window.Straw mats are spread on it, and there is a wooden cabinet on one side of the kang, where bedding and the like can be stored.

After just one glance, Chen Lao Wu knew how to allocate the room.

In the outer room, he slept with his wife.The inner room is reserved for the three children, and the whole family can sleep peacefully from now on.

Zhao Zhihe specifically explained the window.

"After cutting down the trees in two days, get some sawdust and fill it between the two-story windows. Then use paper to stick the window slits. In winter, the cold wind will not blow in, so as to ensure warmth."

Looking at the large glass windows, the family was overjoyed, and hurriedly recorded the methods taught by Zhao Zhihe.

The whole morning was spent in the house allocation, and every household was very satisfied.

Near noon, a long line of large carriages drove into the village.

Zhao Zhihe walked from the east end of the village to the west end of the village with a loudspeaker to greet people.

"Every household, come out to receive food."

The sky is big, the belly is the biggest.

After a busy morning, people were already hungry.But the tanks in every household are empty, and Zheng worrying about not knowing where to find food.

They all ran out when they heard that they were receiving food.

"Don't fight, don't rob. Every household has a fixed number according to the population. If you call someone, you will come up and get it."

People quickly quieted down, eagerly waiting for the rations to arrive.

"Chen Lao Wu!"

"Here, here, here."

Chen Laowu didn't expect that he would be the first one, so he hurried forward with his wife and children.

Zhao Zhihe faced the list and began to count.

"Five members of Chen Laowu's family, two big, three small, and five people, one hundred catties of flour."

This was a big deal, and all the villagers were shocked.

Watching the staff on the carriage bring out two bags of flour, Chen Laowu began to tremble.

"Village chief, are you really giving us flour?"

That's white flour!

Chen Laowu has never eaten it in his life, and he only heard that it was delicious.

But those are things that the landlord's family can only eat during the festivals.

So precious, is it really sent to him?
Zhao Zhihe didn't understand his mood.

"Am I not clear enough? White flour is a hundred catties. Why are you still standing there? Move away!"

The children didn't have so many thoughts, they heard that they were really pale, so they rushed forward.The older one carried a bag alone, and the two younger ones carried a bag together, and went home happily.

Before finishing the calculation, Zhao Zhihe said again: "One hundred catties of sorghum, one hundred catties of millet, two hundred catties of corn, two hundred catties of potatoes, two hundred catties of cabbage, and fifty catties of oil."

After reading out this long series of numbers, Chen Laowu just felt dizzy.

"Why are you giving so much? When will this be finished?"

Zhao Zhihe solemnly ordered: "These are grains for you to spend the winter, and you will eat them until next spring. It looks like a lot, but there are still several months left. You still need to save, you know?"

Only then did Chen Lao Wu wake up, and quickly ran back and forth with his family several times, and finally moved all the precious rations back home.

Seeing that the small room that was empty just now is now filled with all kinds of food, for some reason, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.

Chen Laowu has no culture, and doesn't know all of this...

In fact, it is called happiness.

Like his family, all the villagers were given enough food rations.

This is also one of the means used by the government to attract immigrants.

Only a good house and sufficient rations can attract the people who value their homeland to come here thousands of miles away.

Although it seems that the cost is high, all the expenses are actually produced locally in the Northeast, and there is no need for additional payment from the center.

In other words, as immigration and development deepened, the cost of central investment became smaller and smaller.

After receiving the food, soon every household in the village was filled with smoke.

A family meal heralds the beginning of a new life.

After lunch, Zhao Zhihe called all the households together again.

"The big guy came here all the way, just hoping to settle down. There are fields and food to eat. I know what the big guy is thinking about, so I will take the big guy to divide the land now."

The proper arrangement made the villagers really unable to find any dissatisfaction, and immediately happily followed Zhao Zhihe out of the village and plunged into the wilderness.

"Old Man Chen, did you see that? The tree from here to there is all your land. Hurry up and mark it, so don't make a mistake."

Finally own the land!
Chen Laowu was not only happy, but also a little dumbfounded.

"Village chief, is this all my land?"

Zhao Zhihe didn't know why.

"Of course it's all your land, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Chen Laowu opened his mouth wide and suddenly howled dryly.

"There are so many fields, how can I plant them? I can't finish planting even if I am exhausted."

He is an old farmer, with more land and less land, you can tell at a glance.

But even so, when the [-] mu of land was actually in front of him, he truly felt that it is a tragedy that there is no land to grow.
