As soon as they entered the cafeteria, everyone was dizzy with the stimulation of the fragrance and warmth that hit them in the face.

Looking at everything in the cafeteria blankly.

Shi Anan was not surprised to see these people's reactions. When the cafeteria was first built, the people in Guangming Village had the same reaction, not to mention these people who had just come from the ice and snow.

And after a period of construction, the canteen’s dishes have become more and more diverse.

Shi Anan set a seven-day menu for the canteen, which is different every day. In addition to set meals, it also provides a variety of snacks and hot drinks.

Of course, these cannot be bought with meal tickets. The villagers have to buy them with their own money, but the prices are not that expensive.

In fact, Shi Anan did this to revitalize the economy of Guangming Village and to make plans for the future.

Now that Guangming Village has fewer people, she can certainly develop the collective economy just like she did in the days of the communal dining system.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. There is chaos and war outside, and prices of goods and money are non-existent. Shi Anan wants to establish his own monetary system in Guangming Village.

However, due to too few people, it has never been implemented, and can only slightly promote the circulation of silver and money in a small part.

For example, people who participate in snow clearing are no longer rewarded with meal tickets. Instead, they are settled according to a certain amount of money per person per day. The money can be used to buy snacks, hot drinks and other fresh food from special suppliers in the cafeteria.

Including when Liu and his family sold soap before, they actually used silver and money for transactions, but due to human constraints, the business did not develop that fast.

In this way, even if the population expands in the future, Guangming Village will still have its own set of currency circulation logic.

The people from Changle Village had just arrived, and even if they had money, Shi Anan certainly couldn't just let them pay for their meals, so today's first meal was on her, since she had a lot of money anyway.

"Brother Li, please let the villagers find a seat and sit down. We should be able to accommodate everyone if we squeeze in. Let's eat something to warm up first, and then we can talk about the rest." Shi Anan instructed Li Zimu.

With Li Zimu's message, the uneasy hearts of the people in Changle Village were finally put to rest. It was not until they sat in the cafeteria and drank the hot soup that they came to their senses and realized that they had really arrived at Guangming Village!

While everyone was eating, Shi Anan also treated Li Hu, Zhang and others who were more seriously ill due to the cold, giving them an antipyretic pill for high fever and a cough suppressant pill for cough.

At the same time, she also counted and found that there were 115 people coming from Changle Village. Once she arranged these people, her mission of rescuing the people would be completed, right?

I can't wait!

After Li Zimu and the others finished eating, Shi Anan asked, "Did something happen in Changle Village? Why are you all here? And why are there so few people?"

Hearing Shi Anan's question, Li Zimu let out a long sigh, and then told her what happened in Changle Village after they returned.

When they returned, they found that the villagers had suffered heavy casualties. Then, the village chief took most of the villagers to the town in order to seek survival, leaving only them in Changle Village.

Then, because the snow was so heavy, everyone's wooden houses could not withstand the snow and collapsed one after another. Everyone was desperate and did not want to go to an unknown town, so they came to Guangming Village to seek help.

As for why the other people in Changle Village believed that they could get help by coming to Guangming Village, Shi Anan knew without asking that it must be the lobbying of Doctor Li and Li Zimu.

However, after hearing their experiences, Shi Anan also expressed deep sympathy.

Who would have thought that when she went to look for iron ore before, she also lamented that the population of Changle Village was large, several times that of Guangming Village, and the living conditions were much better than those of the previous Guangming Village, but it fell apart overnight because of a disaster.

Shi Anan comforted Li Zimu and the others, "It's okay. Now that we've come to Guangming Village, we're a family. We have extra houses built. I'll have someone count and distribute them later. You can move in tonight, but you have to prepare your own bedding."

"But don't worry. Every room is equipped with a kang bed and there is enough firewood. As long as you heat up the kang, it won't be too cold."

"You have walked for such a long time to get here, your bodies must have reached their limit. Take a good rest today, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow."

Li Zimu said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Shi for your generosity. You saved us again."

Shi Anan said with a smile: "Don't be polite, I saved you, but you will have to work for me in the future, and I don't want to do business at a loss."

Li Zimu smiled and said, "It is my honor to have Miss Shi come to my place for use. It's up to you to give me your orders."

While the two were talking, Hao Niubi's family heard that people from Changle Village had arrived, and they hurried to the cafeteria:

"Brother!" Hao Niubi's mother, Mrs. Li, shouted loudly.

Li Hu felt the voice sounded familiar, and then he suddenly realized that he was in Guangming Village now. This voice belonged to his sister whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Cuihua!" Li Hu responded quickly.

When Li heard that Li Hu had agreed to her request, she was extremely happy. In the past, she was afraid of being a burden to her parents' family, so she seldom went back to disturb her eldest brother's life after her parents passed away. The last time she went to Changle Village was during the Chinese New Year, and the two siblings had not seen each other for a year.

Li took Hao Ren and Hao Niubi and squeezed through the crowd to the front of Li Hu's family. The younger generations greeted each other.

"Brother, you have lost a lot of weight. Sister-in-law, why do you look so bad? Are you sick?" Li Hu and Zhang were not in good condition. Li Hu's cough had become more and more serious since his fever dropped. He coughed every day and couldn't even eat, so he lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.

Zhang's health was originally pretty good, but she was very cold on the way to Guangming Village this time, and she didn't eat or rest well. She had a high fever again and again along the way, and she had to rely on antipyretics to keep her fever down, so her complexion looked very ugly.

As for the others, although they were better, compared with the spirited Hao family, they all looked pale and haggard.

Li Hu shook his head slightly and sighed, then chattered to his sister about recent family events.

When Li heard this, she couldn't stop crying. She never thought that her brother would almost die because of hail.

Because of Li Hu's special instructions, and the fact that he was out of danger by then, Shi Anan did not mention his injury to Li after she came back. If she had known at that time that Li Hu was injured, she would have gone to Changle Village to visit him at all costs. At that time, the situation in Changle Village was not very good, and Li Hu did not want her to come.

"Brother and sister-in-law, please go to our house and rest first. Once the rooms are allocated, we will help you clean up." Li felt sorry for her brother and sister-in-law, so she asked Hao Ren and Hao Niubi to take their things to her house quickly, and she supported Li Hu and walked towards the house.

The other people in Changle Village were not so lucky. They had no family in Guangming Village, so they had to wait in the cafeteria for arrangements.

Fortunately, the cafeteria is also warm, so it’s not too hard for everyone to stay here.

After a while, the village chief finally finished counting the vacant houses and came back late with the list.

Shi Anan had deliberately built more houses for the sake of the main mission. At that time, the village chief and others didn't understand why they had to build so many empty houses when there were only a few dozen people in the village.

But now he doesn't think so anymore. It turns out that Miss Shi is a person with a long-term vision. If she hadn't been prepared in advance, it would have been difficult for the village to accommodate so many people at once.
