The livestock in Shanghe Village was quickly distributed, and the villagers were delighted. Of course, they had also seen that the immigrants' households had more livestock they had never encountered before. They simply did not know how to raise them yet, so they had no intention of asking for any right away.
While the livestock was being distributed at the Grain Drying Area in the village center, many of the village children also ran in groups to the doorways of the newcomers' homes, peeking inside curiously.
Although they had already seen the adults building these courtyards over the past month, they still had no idea how people were supposed to live inside them.
For children who had seen nothing but Bamboo Buildings since birth, these structures standing on level ground were utterly incomprehensible.
The many small animals the immigrants had brought were another source of curiosity. The kittens and piglets, for instance, were things they had never seen before.
"Come, come, girl, hurry inside. I'll get you something tasty to share."
Seeing so many children gathered at the doorway, looking around curiously, Lu Jian'an's wife immediately dug some red hard candies out of a chest.
They had all been bought in Hanyang Commandery. There was certainly no sugar on Qiongzhou Island yet. If they did not bring some themselves, no one knew when they would get to taste sweetness again. That was why every immigrant household had stocked up on plenty. After all, Luo Chong had given each family a hundred coins in settlement expenses as compensation.
Several children could not understand Han speech, but the woman looked kind and benevolent, not like a bad person, so they cautiously walked over.
Lu's wife stuffed a piece of brown sugar into the little girl's mouth. The girl's eyes immediately lit up.
