968 Good day
A truck pulls up at the intersection of an unnamed town in the southern part of the Iran Hill Empire, and a man in a stained casual pullover approaches, a smile on his face.
This is a real smile, the kind of smile that knows at a glance that the other party is really very satisfied with the status quo at this moment.
"Hey! Robert...... It's nice to see you. The Iran Hill soldier jumped out of the car, patted the man on the shoulder, pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, and handed it to the man.
The man named Robert was also polite, smiled and took the cigarette handed by the other party, put it in his mouth and came to the other party's side, and took a comfortable puff of the cigarette with the help of the other party's lighter.
He loved the sensation, a burning mist entering his lungs, then stimulating his nerves, and finally bringing him endless aftertaste and pleasure......
In fact, he only learned the skill of smoking a few days ago, don't look at him like an old smoking gun now, in fact, when he first came into contact with this thing, he had to cough for a while when he took a puff.
In addition to bringing magical anti-plague medicines, the soldiers of the Irlanhill Empire also brought countless magical things to this town, which had never been in contact with modernity.
For example, in just a few days, the children of the town learned about a magical candy called chocolate. They love the candy and go to great lengths to get it.
These children would come in droves to shine the shoes of the Iran Hill soldiers who arrived here, help them carry their belongings, or simply stand there and sell their cute ...... In short, they all get some rewards: fruit candy, and chocolate.
In the same way, the civilians here know that there is a miracle food called instant noodles, and that there is a super delicious thing in the world called canned food.
Every day, the soldiers of the Irlanhill Empire would distribute some food as a reward, encouraging the people here to exchange their labor for these rewards. The common people here are also accustomed to labor, and they feel that they can live a life that they can only dream of.
So they were all working hard, and subconsciously they were even a little afraid that the soldiers who gave them food would suddenly leave the next day.
Of course, there are many other reasons why these civilians or refugees are worried about the departure of these Ranhill Empire soldiers.
For example, they received a lot of clothing donated from the north, which is really precious to these refugees.
They got a lot of sturdy and warm clothes at once, and they also brought a little bit of trendy clothes, so that the refugees here improved their happiness in a short time.
These people originally fled all the way here, and their original family resources, including things for daily use, were lost.
As a result, when the refugees settled down, they found themselves with nothing in their hands β houses, furniture, clothing, food...... All these things have reduced the sense of belonging of these refugees.
But now, the Irlanhill Empire has sent many of the necessities of life, which have given these refugees the courage to continue to survive.
Encouraged by food and clothing, the men of this town have buried the bodies of all the people who died of the plague in the vicinity - more than 3,500 of them, which were piled up haphazardly and looked so scary.
Now, on a hillside next to the town, the bodies were buried by the living, and that hillside was now a dense mass of small mounds that had been turned into a neat-looking cemetery.
Even, among these corpses, there are some people with tombstones, these are the deceased who still have living relatives, and after identification, they are buried closer to the town, so that future generations can pay their respects and visit.
In addition, the living civilians built more than 20 kilometers of roads, leveled the dirt road, and helped the soldiers improve the road with asphalt.
Now the town already has a good road, and because of this road, the supply here has become very convenient.
As a result, more bizarre things were brought in by the soldiers of the army, including iron pots and pans, and a mess of daily necessities, including soap and other daily necessities.
Even, with sufficient capacity, the ruling hall in the town was equipped with a bus and a temporary gas station was built.
Seeing that the tanker truck unloaded the tank, the bulldozer began to level some abandoned old buildings, and the whole town was being remodeled, looking brand new and full of vitality everywhere.
"How's your kid doing?" The soldier who threw Robert a cigarette leaned against his car door and asked about the refugee's son named Robert.
He was so impressed by the clever little boy that Officer Brown had always been obsessed with the emaciated boy that he often arranged for the soldiers of the convoy to bring him food.
Now the little boy is no longer thin, for he has been eating a lot of meat and candy latelyβhe has gained a little weight and looks a little cuter.
When it comes to Le's own children, Robert's whole person is more energetic, and the recent changes in his son, in his eyes, really make him extremely gratified.
Originally, his children learned the etiquette that the most aristocratic talents could learn. He also became clear and organized in his speech, and he stopped running around when he came home every day, and he would complete all kinds of homework left for him by school.
These visible changes really made Robert very pleased. Now he often finds time to help the soldiers of the Ellan Hill Empire do more work, which is his way of giving back to the country.
It's just that what makes him a little depressed is that the harder he works, the more things Iran Hill will give him in return, which makes him a little uncomfortable, and he feels that he can't pay off the friendship he owes in this life.
What also made him a little depressed was that many people had the same idea as him, and everyone would come to work for those soldiers of the Iran Hill Empire when they had nothing to do, which made him rarely able to grab enough work.
In fact, no one knows exactly who is helping whom. The soldiers of the Irlanhill Empire came to help them rebuild their homes, and they are now working for the soldiers of the Irlanhill Empire - it feels good.
I only heard Robert show off his son with a bright mouth: "It's not bad, his teacher is very capable, and I can't understand what he learns." β
"Hahaha, don't talk about you, when I first started getting into those things, I couldn't understand them!" The soldier laughed loudly when he heard Robert's words, as if he remembered his son: "My son is going to take the high school entrance exam this year...... He's excellent too! β
"He has a good father!" Robert complimented from the bottom of his heart, "You are not the same as the city guards I know...... You're all good people, that kind of ...... I used to not believe in the existence of good people. β
"What you said made me a little proud. Hahaha! The soldier's face was slightly red, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Two years ago, like you, I didn't believe what I was going through now...... Now, though, I believe it. β
"I believe it too! It's good to know you, Mr. Brown, and you, and so many others who have helped us. Robert said seriously.
"I've been in adult night classes for the last few days, and I've learned a few words. I want to be like you...... It's another meaning of my life, and it's the meaning of taking care of my child, little Lore. β
"That's good, when I was learning, I started with literacy." The soldier gave Robert another cigarette, and Robert waved his hand to show that he was refreshed.
He always adhered to the principle that everyone smoked only one cigarette at a time - this is one of the reasons why everyone took good care of him, and everyone liked people who were modest.
"This truckload is yours...... There's a quilt and other supplies in it, something you're missing......" The soldier took back his cigarette, then pointed to the car behind him and said, "A full cart is enough for you to survive the winter." β
"Thank you so much...... Without you, Lore and I would probably be dead. Robert said with emotion.
Throwing the cigarette butt at his feet, the soldier who drove in the car spit out the white smoke in his nose: "There is nothing to thank and not thank...... It is always you who save you. β
His words reminded Robert of his wife, the one who fled together, escaped the pursuit of demons together, and persevered until a few months ago, when she died of illness in the plague.
He really missed the woman who was once strong and strong, but when she died, she had a yellow face and thin muscles, and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"If only you had come a few months earlier...... Robert said after thinking of his wife, the woman who had nothing to do with pretty.
In this world, or in the world that once was, a slender waist and fair skin were only possessed by aristocratic women.
The best state of women in the countryside is a big waist and a round body, so that they can help with the work and give birth to offspring relatively safely.
So Robert's wife is actually not beautiful, but in the most difficult time, she supported the family with him.
"Don't think about it! Robert! You are doing well now, and it is already the greatest comfort to your wife. The soldier of the Irlanhill Empire comforted him, then walked to the back of the carriage and opened the door of the back compartment: "Come and help!" β
"Good!" Robert nodded, dropped his cigarette butt, and walked over. He picked up a stack of wrapped quilts from the car, and the thick and fluffy feeling made him want to cry out loud.
