Chapter 24: Homesickness
When the night came, the exile team of thousands of people, except for Du Zhizhong, who was taken away, collectively fell asleep.
After Du Ruoli and the others next door Du Ruoying fell asleep, they entered the space.
The sixty taels of gold earned during the day were placed on the living room table, shining with blind dog eyes.
Du Ruoli has never seen so much gold, and she can't put it down in her arms and set up her ambitions:
In the future, she will earn countless gold and become the richest person in the world. Sleep all day long lying on gold!
Mom, what kind of fairy day is this, I can wake up laughing when I dream!
"Wow...... Wow...... Wow......"
The little baby cried loudly, and Du Ruoli realized that she was too excited, and hugged the gold too tightly and squeezed it to others.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my sister is sorry for you." Du Ruoli put down the gold and gently patted her sister: "Sleep quickly, sleep well, grow tall, grow into a peerless beauty, let my sister hug her thighs." ”
On the contrary, my sister cried even more, her little hands scratched, her calves flicked, and she almost fell out of her sister's arms.
The child had never cried so desperately, Du Ruoli was frightened and didn't know what to do. One moment to test the temperature of her forehead, the next to look at her throat.
It was only when her chest was wet with urine and she was given a urine ring that she saw that she had many red rashes.
The rash is in the place where the urine ring touches, but not in other places, isn't it diaper rash?
Emma, it is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Since she came, the child has been given dry diapers most of the time. I really had to hug it outside, and it was also a diaper ring made of clean cotton, and I changed it immediately when it was wet. It's inconvenient to take her when you go out today, so I handed her over to Zhou Daya, who didn't have time to wash the urine ring, and used it a few times to dry it, and it became like this.
You can't blame Zhou Daya, everyone does this, and the same is true of the original body in the past.
It seems that I can't easily leave my sister to go out in the future, and I will leave enough urine rings when I want to go out.
Du Ruoli took her sister to the bathroom and put her in a bathtub filled with warm water.
As soon as the baby entered the water, he immediately stopped crying. The little hands and feet happily slapped the water, splashing in bursts.
Du Ruoli supported her with one hand, and squeezed out the baby shower gel with the other hand to wash her clean.
Take it out and put it on a bath towel, wipe it with clean water, apply an ointment for diaper rash, and put on a diaper. The little one finally got comfortable and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Du Ruoli stood and watched her undulating little belly for a while, and went out to work.
In the vegetable field, radishes and cabbage were harvested, a small piece was empty, and some vegetables and sugar cane were replanted.
I didn't have any experience before, so I thought I needed to eat more than one piece of vegetables, which led to a lot of excess. It didn't sell for a few dollars, and the land resources were wasted in vain. Now she knows that ten square meters of land is enough to eat, and the rest of the land is planted with cost-effective crops, such as sugar cane.
Before modernization, sugar had always been a luxury, and it could be sold at a high price anywhere, and growing sugar cane was always a good deal.
After finishing the work, I went back to the house and drank a glass of milk mixed with protein powder, took a bath and went to sleep.
The day before yesterday, when she was packing up the things that her best friend Zhou Mengjin bought for her, she found that there were several packets of protein powder, which were just used to supplement protein.
She is enjoying herself here, and Du Zhizhong's life is not easy.
Zhang Dacheng eats and drinks well every day, and his strength is greater than that of a cow, so that he crackles and sheds tears, and he doesn't say a word when he is ready.
After I want to say that people have fallen asleep, leaving him with only a stocky back.
Du Zhizhong was not qualified to stay overnight, returned to the resting place, and kept his eyes open until dawn.
Early the next morning, the team continued to set off.
The number of prisoners tripled to a team of thousands. The number of officers was changed from 8 to 100.
Judging from the number of errands alone, the Zhao family is worth a lot.
Ji Tong was the general leader of the team, and as before, every twenty prisoners were organized into a squad. If any of the members of the squad escapes and commits an offence, the others are punished together.
The errand servants were also assigned, most of them took care of the Zhao family, and a few took care of the Du family and Lu Jizhou.
The Du family walked in the front, the Zhao family in the middle, and Lu Jizhou and other twenty people walked last.
Except for the last twenty who wore shackles, the others did not.
Not long after walking, a seventy-year-old man in the Zhao family couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground. Six or seven-year-olds can't do it anymore, crying as they walk.
Mrs. Zhao personally came forward to discuss with Ji Tong: "In order not to slow down the trip, can you rent two carriages for the old and weak?" ”
"Fifty taels of silver." Ji Tong said expressionlessly: "One day." ”
Old Madam Zhao gasped.
I've thought about the black of the errand officer, but I haven't thought about it so black! Fifty taels of silver is enough to buy a good carriage!
But if they don't rent, none of them, the old, weak, sick and disabled, will want to go to the frontier.
The situation is stronger than people, Old Madam Zhao gritted her teeth and nodded: "Cheng, the old man is rented." ”
Before leaving, relatives and friends came to send each other and sent some money, she can still hold on, and when she can't hold on, she must live first.
Ji Tong saw that she knew each other, and kindly came up with an idea: "The luggage can also be handed over to me and others to carry, and it only costs twenty taels of silver." ”
Is this something that can be refused? No! Old Madam Zhao could see clearly: "Cheng, the old body will give you silver." ”
The deal was reached, and Mrs. Zhao arranged the old and weak who couldn't hold it to sit in the carriage, and unloaded the luggage and handed it to Ji Tong.
Ji Tong turned around and arranged for Patriarch Du Changxing: "You have a lot of men, and you are strong, so help carry things." They are all along the way, and they should help each other. ”
Du Changxing's heart was more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and he showed a reluctant smile: "Cheng, let's carry it." Please give us a little time to prepare. ”
"Accurate!" Ji Tong nodded arrogantly.
Zhang Da, who was not far away, quietly gave Ji Tong a thumbs up, he was still a big brother and knew how to scrape more silver money out of the prisoner.
What is the forty taels of silver on the Du family, and they earned it back in two days after carrying things. This trip is more than half a year, and I can earn more than 3,000 taels.
Coupled with the money for renting a carriage, the difference in price for helping to buy things and find a good room is 20,000 taels.
It's sent! They sent! Go back and buy a house and land, you have everything!
The Zhao family had a lot of luggage, and the patriarch Du Changxing distributed it with a bitter face, and Du Ruoli also got a bag of things to carry, about twenty catties.
There is no way, the man alone can't carry it, and the elderly and half-grown children have to bear some of it.
The Du clan bent over one by one, miserable. Du Ruoli was willing to help, but she just wanted to think about it, put her things into the space, carried the obvious luggage, and bowed forward.
The world is so fucked up, the oppression and exploitation are naked.
Her joy of earning gold yesterday was now gone. Resentful of why Jade Pendant sent her to this damn time to live a miserable life.
She was homesick.
