Chapter 995: As Famous as Him (1)
Originally, for the defense of Heyang City, Fang Chen, Yang Hua and others were divided into groups of three and assigned to the four directions of Heyang City. Although there were disciples from the Bai, Hu and Zhang families, the manpower was still short. After all, although the entire Heyang City was not large, it would take thousands of people to have one person every ten steps. With the addition of the new recruits, there were exactly a thousand people, which was barely enough.
Now all the young and middle-aged people in Heyang City have come, and the city is suddenly full of people. Fang Chen can even use some civilians to exchange for some disciples for deployment.
Yang Hua helped them arrange shifts. They only had to take up shifts on the two days when they were on duty. They would change shifts every two days, so that everyone could take a turn and also take turns to rest.
After knowing this, Ji Xiaou recruited a few cooking aunties in Heyang City to cook for those on duty, providing four meals a day and a midnight snack.
The men in the city were greatly motivated as they could both do their part and have enough food to eat. They were all proud to be on duty, and Aunt Ji also made two sets of clothes for them. When they walked in Heyang City wearing the same clothes, everyone would know that they were on duty today and that they were an important part of protecting Heyang City.
Whenever they walked around Heyang City, the women would stare at them like heroes. Faced with such gazes, they couldn't help but straighten their chests as they walked.
Their families were also extremely proud of them. Even if they were once second-rate guys, they were now like reformed heroes, receiving people's eager eyes. Their past had become the past, and now they were all men.
There are even some girls who specifically want to marry them and don't even want a dowry.
For a time, the people of Heyang City became extremely harmonious. They could continue their peaceful lives without worrying about sudden attacks. They could also know the war situation outside at the first time. They were no longer blind, and they would no longer be abandoned.
Ji Xiaowu also entered the eyes of the people. The whole Heyang City knew Ji Xiaowu's name. The people knew that she was in charge of the food of the entire Heyang City. She provided food for the people so that they would not suffer from hunger. They knew that she provided them with free clothes. She provided a livelihood for women so that women were no longer dependent on men. They knew that she had prepared everything for the people of Heyang City early on to save them from war.
Now her status is even higher than Fang Chen.
Wherever Ji Xiaou goes out now, she is given gifts by enthusiastic people. No matter how she refuses, their enthusiasm never extinguishes.
Aunt Li looked at Ji Xiaomu with amusement as she came back with a pile of things again, and hurried forward to help her unload them. "Look at you now, every time you go out, you are always carrying a lot of things. We haven't finished eating the food at home, and here's another pile. We already have more than a dozen old hens at home..."
"Mom, I don't dare to go out." Ji Xiaowu wanted to cry but had no tears. She refused, but those enthusiastic ladies didn't listen to her at all. If she hadn't been pregnant, they would not have dared to let her take too much, and her body might have been stuffed too full.
"Just stay at home and be good!" Aunt Li said with a smile, and she was very relieved.
She always knew what Ji Xiaou was doing, but she didn't expect that Ji Xiaou was doing it for Heyang City and had already made preparations early on, so that they would have no worries.
