Chapter 116, Return to Beijing
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the entire Xiahetun has become extremely lively, and the teenage boys of every household have already packed up their salutes early, ready to follow Liu Jin to the west mountain of the capital.
Under the old Tsubaki tree in the middle of Xiahetun Village, these young men all looked very excited, in this era, let alone going to the capital, this ordinary person may not even have been to the county seat sometimes.
They had already heard about the prosperity and liveliness of the capital from Zhao Erhu, and they were very yearning, although they were still in Xiahetun, but their hearts had already flown to the capital.
"After arriving in Xishan, you must learn from Brother Jin well, and in the future, you will be able to be like Erhu, a cultural person who can read and break words, and the wives you marry are much more beautiful than others."
Uncle Zhou, the village head, said carefully to his grandson Zhou Goudan.
In the past, everyone called Zhao Erhu a dog, but now they have changed their mouths, they are called Erhu, and the younger ones are called Brother Erhu, who is called Zhao Erhu is now the second person in the village besides Liu Jin who can read and break words.
And because he can read and break words, and follow Liu Jin to do things, he also married a daughter-in-law two days ago, which made the young men in the village envious to death.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely learn from Brother Jin well, and I will definitely not be worse than Brother Erhu when the time comes."
Zhou Goudan was wearing new clothes, a thick new quilt on his back, and brand-new shoes on his feet, and the Zhou family gritted their teeth and took out a large amount of money to buy these things for him.
There is no way, since ancient times, it has been a poor family and a rich road, after all, this is not at home when going out, at least decent is still required, of course, this is also because Liu Jin's snow salt workshop has been running since the third day of the Lunar New Year, and every household in Xiahetun is doing things in it, and the days after this will definitely be much better, so I am willing to take the money out to buy this body.
"Well, study hard, work hard, and I'll find you a beautiful daughter-in-law when I come back for the New Year."
Uncle Zhou nodded with satisfaction, looked at his grandson carefully, and said with a smile.
Zhou Tiedan touched his head and looked a little embarrassed, which made the other villagers on the side laugh when they saw it.
"Brother Jin is here, Brother Jin is here~"
At this time, from the direction of Liu Jin's house, four-wheeled carriages slowly drove here, and suddenly the young people in the village became even more excited, and they all carried their own salutes, took their own baggage, and prepared to set off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my mother will ask everyone to help take care of them at home."
Soon, Liu Jin came to the old Tsubaki tree and bowed to the people in the village.
"Brother Jin, don't worry~"
"Where is Brother Jin, everyone is a neighbor, and it is also appropriate to help each other, and if my dog is disobedient, you can beat him, as long as you can't kill him."
"My Saburo will ask Brother Jin, if he does anything bad, please bear with Brother Jin~"
When the villagers heard this, they immediately hurriedly replied, and Liu Jin also exchanged greetings with everyone for a while, and then looked at the sky, and did not continue to delay.
"Let's go~"
Liu Jin boarded the carriage, and the five four-wheeled carriages began to slowly leave Xiahetun, and Zhou Tiedan, the young men who followed Liu Jin out, also followed excitedly and quickly, forming a long line behind, and finally slowly disappeared from the field of vision of the villagers.
When he came, there were eight carriages, and Liu Jin left three carriages for the use of his mother Wang at home, and it was also convenient for Zhao Heishan and them to transport snow salt.
This year, if the snow salt workshop is at full capacity, the output of this snow salt will increase dramatically, and the transportation capacity of the four-wheeled carriage is strong, just enough to facilitate transportation, and it is also convenient to keep secret.
…...
Time back to the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gulou Village, Jinghai Town, Tianjin.
Just after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gulou Village has also become extremely lively, and the men of almost every household in the whole village have already packed up their salutes, one by one, and are ready to follow Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey, Big Tiger, and Silly Bear to the West Mountain of the capital.
Tian Erniu's house, the embroidery lady looked carefully at home, and carefully looked for anything else that was not packed up and hidden, this time, Tian Erniu was ready to take the family to Xishan, so the things in the house naturally had to be packed up and hidden.
"Don't ink, the rest of the stuff is in every household, and no one will want you."
Tian Erniu looked at the time and couldn't help but urge again.
"Yes, sister, let's go quickly."
On the side, Tian Erniu's brother-in-law Fan Xiaobao was also waiting a little impatiently, the news that Tian Erniu was doing well in the capital spread, and the Xiu Niangniang's family knew about it, and they also asked Fan Xiaobao to follow him to the west mountain of the capital.
"What's the hurry, no one in the village came to call, and there is still time."
The embroidered lady was unmoved, and continued to look at the house, in fact, there was nothing to hide, they were all dilapidated military households, and there was nothing valuable at all, but the poor cherished things and were reluctant to leave anything behind.
"Brother Erniu, Brother Big Tiger asked me to come over and ask if you are okay?"
At this time, there was a business outside the house, apparently the people of the village had come to urge.
"Alright, alright, we'll be right here."
Tian Erniu hurriedly replied, then picked up his burden, and led his son and daughter to the outside, and the child naturally took it with him.
Xiuniang moved a clay pot in, locked a few keys, and the window had already been sealed, and when she looked back at this home, she also kept up with Tian Erniu's footsteps.
Soon, Tian Erniu came to the middle of the village of Gulou Village, where thousands of people had gathered, only half of them were from Gulou Village, and the remaining half were other people in the health center who heard the news or like Fan Xiaobao, all relatives and friends of the villagers of Gulou Village, and everyone went to the west mountain of the capital to ask for a living.
Tian Erniu looked at the mighty and black crowd, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, there were too many people, and all of them were dressed in tatters, all of them were unkempt, yellow and thin.
"Let's go~go~"
With the arrival of Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey began to shout, and with Zhao Monkey's shouting, everyone picked up their packages one by one, and began to follow Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey in the cold wind towards the capital.
