The Eldest Sister Has Space

   Chapter 39 Can't Go Back

   It is said that on the day when the imperial envoy arrived in Yongning Mansion, it rained suddenly after a clear day, and it rained heavily for three days and three nights.

  The dry land was moistened, and the dead people cheered and shouted, as if they had finally seen the dawn, and everyone said that this was auspiciousness descended from the sky, and declared that the new emperor of the world was the contemporary Mingjun, and he was blessed by the heavens.

  Gu Yundong is still in Xuanhe Mansion, and he still doesn't know the uproarious news spread over there. Even if she knew, she didn't care.

   She was standing in front of the bulletin board at the gate of the city, frowning slightly when she saw the announcement just posted.

  This notice is about the victims who fled the famine. Yongning House already has food and silver for the disaster relief. The chaos has been levelled and order is slowly being restored. Naturally, these people also want to go back.

   As long as those who go back, the government office will give a certain amount of toll, and it will be exempted for three years.

   Of course, it’s okay not to go back, the refugees are resettled on the spot, attached to the register, and re-registered by the yamen. There is no condition for three-year exemption, and there is no money to take it.

   And the place of placement also depends on your luck, basically not in too prosperous and wealthy towns, or even in slightly better villages. There is no distribution of land, and at most two acres of wasteland will be given to you to reclaim by yourself.

  Most people will choose to go back, and the idea of ​​falling leaves returning to their roots is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. If you have money, you can be exempted from the tax for three years, and you will still be familiar relatives and friends when you return to your hometown.

   Not to mention that many people in towns and cities have their industrial houses in Yongning Mansion, so giving up like this would be a huge loss.

   But these, for Gu Yundong, did not have much temptation.

   After reading the announcement, she returned to Cousin Ke's house with a vegetable basket.

  Cousin Ke was sitting in the yard, holding a needle and thread and making shoes for two little ones. Only then did she realize that this girl who was very good at cooking didn't know how to make clothes and shoes, while Mrs. Yang knew how to do it, but it didn't look good.

  Cousin Ke hurt the two children and asked Gu Yundong to buy rags and sew them by himself.

   While talking and chatting, there were three small stools in front of her, and the two children, including the slender Yang Shi, sat there orderly and listened.

   Hearing the door open, Cousin Ke raised her head and glanced at her, "Why did you come back so late today?"

   "A new notice was posted at the gate of the city. I took a look."

   "What did you say above?"

  Gu Yundong closed the courtyard door, put the vegetable basket on the stone mill, and then repeated the contents of the notice.

   Aunt Ke's hand paused, then continued sewing as if nothing had happened.

  Yang Shi and Gu Yunke still couldn't understand it in a daze, but Gu Yunshu understood, and immediately hugged her waist happily, "Can we go home? Is there food at home?"

  Gu Yundong looked down at the little guy whose eyes were shining, and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

   Gu Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes in confusion, "Eldest sister, don't you want to go home?"

  Where are you going if you don't go back? This is Cousin Ke's home, not his home. You can't live in someone else's home forever, and the rent is so expensive.

  Gu Yundong patted his head, "Go back to that house, there are grandparents, two uncles and three uncles, we may have to serve them forever, and we will never be able to eat the food we ate two days ago for the rest of our lives."

   Gu Yunshu suddenly thought of the old days, and his expression changed.

   Aunt Ke gave Gu Yundong a sideways glance, scare the child, shameless.

   Gu Yundong pretended not to see it, and continued to bewitched, "Besides, do you still remember why we couldn't separate our family?"
