Chapter 459 Stone's 'Ambition'

Shi Shi and the others pushed the cart forward slowly. Although the mountain road was very rough, these people were used to walking on the mountain road since they were young, so walking was very easy. Even if they were pushing a cart full of goods, they still didn't feel much effort.

In fact, to be honest, Shitou and the others suffered a lot when working outside. In the beginning, they didn't understand anything, so they had to follow a businessman to carry big bags, and the other party also bullied them as fugitives. The wages were extremely low, just enough for daily food and drink. As for renting a house, it was impossible. Fortunately, it was hot and they were all men, so they just found a broken house that no one lived in. moon.

Later, after they found a way, they entered the tea factory where they are working now. Although the owner of this tea factory is also very "deceitful", he is much better than the previous businessman, and his wages are 700% of that of other workers. , plus some bonuses and the like, you can get more than 100 wen per month. Excluding the more than 500 wen spent on food and lodging, you can still leave more than [-] wen, which is exactly two months in four months. If they don't worry about being found out by the government during the Chinese New Year, they can still earn another penny in the last month.

But two rounds were enough. After they exchanged the money for various daily necessities, they went to the carriage factory to pick up some broken wheels and repair them, and cut wood to build these wheelbarrows themselves.They are all fugitives, and they have to rely on themselves for everything in the mountains, so almost everyone can do these simple carpentry jobs.

Pushing the wheelbarrow he made himself, Shitou looked at the surrounding environment again, and found that they were not far from home, as long as they climbed over this mountain ridge.You can see their stockade, and the road on the other side of the mountain has also been repaired by the stockade, which is much easier to walk than the road under their feet, and you can get home in at most a cup of tea.Thinking of his parents and younger brothers and sisters at home, Shitou also felt his chest warm, wishing he could fly home right away.Capital Datang 459

After turning over the mountain ridge in front of them, what appeared in front of Shi Shi and the others was a much wider road. Although this road was not as good as the cement road in the small town where they worked, it was built inch by inch by the people in their village. of.And at the end of the road.It is a village built on a high ground. This is the Luoshi village where Shitou and the others were born. There are about a hundred households in the whole village, and there are five to six hundred people, men, women, and children. It is considered a medium-sized village.

Because the road was quite far, when Shitou and the others arrived at Luoshizhai, it was already sunset, and it was winter now, so there were no people working in the plowed fields on both sides of the road.This made Shi Shi and the others go all the way to the entrance of the village before they were discovered by some villagers.As a result, when these villagers saw that it was Shitou, who had been away from the village for more than half a year, they were all taken aback. While they came up to say hello, some people also went to inform their families.

"Stinky boy, you dare to come back!" Just as Shitou and the others were chatting about their experience of going out to work with familiar villagers, suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd outside, followed by a hunting bow in one hand and a basket on the back. The old man of the arrow rushed in, when he saw the pier.Raise the bow in your hand and hit.

This old man dressed as a hunter is Dunzi's father and a well-known hunter in the village, but his family's heirs are not prosperous, and he gave birth to a bunch of daughters. He didn't have this precious son Dunzi until he was 40 years old, so he has always been doted on. Unfortunately, Dunzi is restless.Following Shitou and the others, they almost pissed the old man to death. Now when Dunzi came back, he was naturally furious.

Dunzi was bragging about his work in the town with a few fellow villagers.At this moment, seeing the bow in the old man's hand was being struck, he was so frightened that he threw the car in his hand, and hurriedly hid behind the others, begging for mercy while dodging: "Dad, please don't hit, my son has made a lot of money this time." It’s less money, and I’ll bring you the strongest wine, these are all old wishes for you!”

The so-called knowing son is more like father, this sentence is almost the same in reverse. When Dunzi mentioned a word of wine, and it was the strongest wine, the old hunter who was addicted to alcohol immediately stopped, and he swallowed his saliva and said. : "Well, you have filial piety, where is the wine? I'll try it first!"

Seeing that his father was still addicted to alcohol, Tunzi was finally relieved, and immediately jumped over to open a small bag on his wheelbarrow, but the people around found that the small bag was still covered with thatch, and the thatch was removed. Only then was a small wine jar exposed. This wine jar is not only exquisite in appearance, but also has three large characters burned on it. Someone who can read exclaimed: "Five kings are drunk!"

The old hunter was startled when he heard it, and hurriedly snatched the small wine jar, and then hugged it in his arms like a son. , but there is still a hint of wine coming out of the bottle.

"Okay! Good wine! It really is the legendary drunk of the five kings! Hahaha~" The old hunter hadn't drunk it yet, but he was already drinking madly, hugging the wine jar and laughing wildly, and had no time to talk about it.

But Dunzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little heartache. Although the wine jar is not big, this Wuwangzui is the top wine in the Tang Dynasty. The altar he bought was the cheapest one in the Five Kings Drunken series, but it cost him a hundred coins, which is worth dozens of buckets of food!

Dunzi had just settled his father. At this time, Shitou's parents, several younger siblings, and monkeys and other family members also came, but their reaction was much better than that of the old hunter. Although they kept complaining about their son, Seeing that they all came back safely and brought back so many things, it seems that they have indeed made money outside, so I don't say anything more.

For this Luoshizhai, which is almost isolated from the world, it is a big event for Shitou and the others to come back from the outside world. In addition, they also want to know about Shitou’s experience in the outside world, so all the families have put together a few dishes at the moment. On the threshing floor, there are several tables of banquets. Although they are all farm dishes and most of the wine is homemade water wine, as long as there is a meaning, it will be fine.

Naturally, the protagonists of the banquet were Shitou and others, so a dozen of them sat at the wine table, and then began to tell the villagers around them about their experiences when they went out. But it also made the villagers mesmerized by what they heard.

It wasn't until the last two o'clock that the food and wine on the table had already been eaten, and Shitou and the others almost told all about what they had experienced, which made the villagers leave the venue with still unfinished business.

Among them, after Shitou followed his father back home, he found that his mother and younger brothers and sisters were still awake. As soon as he saw the eldest brother coming back, all the younger ones surrounded him, shouting at each other. In fact, they just wanted to ask him for a gift.As for Shitou's parents, they stood there smiling, watching their children fight.

Stone's parents are younger than the old hunter, but because of years of hard work, they look much older than their actual age, even older than the old hunter.They had fled from the Central Plains back then, and there was an older brother on the rock, but unfortunately his older brother was only three years old at the time, and he didn't pass by on the road, so he died on the road. It wasn't until his parents settled here that he was born again. And two younger brothers and three younger sisters.

Shitou played with his younger brothers and sisters for a while, and then he opened the big and small bags he brought, including the most needed salt and some iron farm tools at home, and new clothes for his mother and younger sisters , These are all bought from newly opened clothing stores. Although they are more expensive than buying cloth, they are more beautiful than those made by ourselves.

In addition, there are a few pairs of shoes for my father, and the sauced mutton that the old man likes to eat most. As for the younger brothers, there are no new clothes. Just let the mother make a set for the father and younger brother, but he also brought a lot of snacks from outside to the younger brother, including more than a dozen bottles of canned food.

Originally, Shishi wanted to open the can to satisfy his younger siblings, but his father stopped him, saying that it was such a good thing, it would be too wasteful to eat it, and he should save it to entertain relatives during the Chinese New Year.Capital Datang 459

But even though Shitou's father said so, in the eager eyes of his children, he finally softened his heart and asked Shitou to pick a bottle of canned food to open. Unfortunately, Shitou's parents only tasted one piece, and then said it was delicious, so they stopped eating, and let the little ones eat the rest.

After sending the little ones to bed, Shitou and his father and mother did not go to sleep, but began to tell his parents about his experiences when he went out. Although he had already said it in front of the villagers, there were some things that should not be told to outsiders. Said, so what Shishi is talking about now is his real experience.

After Shitou's father listened to Shitou's story, he and his wife looked at each other, and then asked his son: "Shitou, you have seen a lot of world outside, and now I want to ask you, after the new year, are you Don't you still plan to work outside?"

Shi Shi is the head of the young people in the village, and he is more assertive than ordinary people. He has already planned for the future, so when he heard his father's question, he immediately said, "Father, I found out that money outside is not difficult. Earning, as long as you have hands and feet, you can support a family just by working part-time. I plan to work in a tea factory for a few years, then save some money, and then work with Dunzi and the others. At that time, we need people and people. The technology is good, and the tea is not worrying about the market, so it will definitely allow parents to live a life without worrying about food and clothing!"

At the end of Shi Shi's words, there was also a kind of ambition in his eyes. This young man who was born as a fugitive already had his own dream after experiencing the outside world.But then his face darkened, and he said in a low tone: "However, if we want to build a factory, we have a huge difficulty. If we don't know how to solve this difficulty, even if we work for others for a lifetime, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us." I can’t open a factory!” (To be continued.
