The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Chapter 258

After Lan Wangshu finished speaking, he glanced at Xihe and turned away.

Xihe stood there and pondered for a while before he understood what she meant. They had indeed been a little slack recently, and they had to improve the abilities of the children.

It was already getting dark when Lan Duoduo returned home. He bit his lip, walked to Lan Wangshu's room and knocked on the door.

The girl opened the door and looked at him with some confusion as he looked worried.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see them?"

"Sister, I'm just very depressed. They followed me and lived like this. I know that it's good enough that we prepared it in such a hurry. Please think of a way to let them have a warm New Year."

The boy's eyes were pious and watery, revealing a hint of fragility and pleading.

Lan Wangshu thought about the space in Old Lan's house. If it was made into bunk beds, it could indeed accommodate a large number of people. However, children could not be raised that high as they would easily fall down. That was why she had never mentioned this matter before.

"The space in Old Lan's house is limited. It's easy to arrange for adults, but it's hard to arrange for children. They still need adults to look after them. Some children are still young and can't leave their mothers. This is not enough. I would like to hear your thoughts. Do you want to let most people have a house to live in, or do you want to give priority to protecting women and children?"

Lan Wangshu stepped aside to let Lan Duodu enter the room. She poured a glass of water, pushed it over, and spoke slowly.

Lan Duoduo pondered for a while and decided to save the women and children first, and then let the adult men squeeze together so that everyone can spend the winter together. Most of them have martial arts and can find a way out on their own.

"Sister, please help me settle the women and children first."

Lan Wangshu was very satisfied with his answer, it was a wise decision.

"Then it's settled. Go find some vegetables from the snow pile at the back and send them to them tomorrow. They should have almost finished eating."

"They can go into the mountains and hunt, and be self-sufficient. Winter vegetables are so expensive, so they should not use them."

Lan Duoduo was also afraid of causing trouble for Lan Wangshu. How could he feel comfortable with such a large group of people doing nothing but eating every day and not knowing how much money it would cost?

"There are women, children and young children, who need to eat nutritious food. This is not a big deal. I call this an investment. I take good care of you so that you can earn more money for me. On the other hand, if you get sick because of poor diet, how much will it cost to see a doctor? You decide whether I will pay or not."

Of course Lan Duoduo understood that this was only one aspect, and it was just an excuse Lan Wangshu made up to make them feel at ease to accept her help.

The boy's heart felt warm and his eyes were filled with emotion.

Lan Wangshu looked at him and poked his forehead with a finger.

"Okay, don't be too touched. Just remember your sister's kindness. Go back."

After sending Lan Duoduo away, she began to plan how to accommodate more people.

He wrote and drew on the paper with a thin charcoal pencil, and soon he had drawn a lot of drawings, including bunk beds, triple beds, and beds attached to the wall. He racked his brains for half the night and drew out modern ways to accommodate more people.

Early the next morning, she gave the blueprints directly to Lan Duoduo. They still had to do it themselves. It would be too strange for her to arrange it overnight, as it would easily expose her secrets.

Time passed quickly, and more than a hundred people managed to squeeze into Old Lan's house. Lan Wangshu went to see them once. Everyone's face was flushed with excitement.

"Miss Blue."

Xihe hurried over and invited her to go in and take a look.

"We can only do this for this year. We will build you a new house next year after your household registration is settled."

"Don't worry Miss Lan, we are fine. There are so many of us, so it's not cold in winter."

A bearded man laughed loudly, causing others to nod their heads.

"You have time to shave your beard, so as not to scare the children."

Xihe looked at him and raised his eyebrows. Who would allow a beard to grow all over his face? It’s hard to see his facial features.

"Got it. I'll be there in a minute."

Seeing that they were living a good life, Lan Wangshu didn't say anything. She walked out of the room, looked at the women and children, nodded, and said that this place was not bad. She walked to the center of the yard and took a deep breath.

Looking at the house built with his father's money, he thought of Lan Xu and his family. It was the New Year, and he had to find time to visit them.

"Girl, what do you think? Is there anything else you want to change?"

Xihe followed behind her, unable to tell what she was thinking.

"Nothing else, as for the men...you should wash your feet, otherwise it will hurt your lungs."

As soon as Lan Wangshu entered the room, he felt like he was hit head-on by a critical hit. The bad smell, sweat and sourness mixed together. He was really afraid of fungal infection. It was not impossible.

Xihe didn't know why, but his toes curled up in his shoes and his ears turned red with embarrassment. This was the first time he felt so embarrassed.

Although Lan Wangshu was facing everyone in the room, unfortunately, his feet were particularly smelly and itchy.

"Listen to the girl."
