"Are Sun Ashan and the others still in the city now?" Xu Da asked doubtfully.
Xu Yue nodded, "I'm still here. I originally wanted to rush home before spring plowing, but I had to wait to see you and say goodbye to you in person, so I stayed here and haven't left yet."
"But Yu Tiezhu and the others have already taken a step ahead, and Boss Wu is still in the city. He plans to stay with us for a while, earn back his family's wealth, and then transport some goods south."
Xu Da waved his hand, "Boss Wu, put it aside for now and tell me where Wukong is. I'll see him."
After all, he was a serious disciple. He had secretly vowed to teach this disciple some real skills. Now that the war was over and he had some free time, he wanted to see if this disciple had the chance.
Xu Yue guessed that her father wanted to use the fire kang gang, so she smiled and told Sun Ashan's address.
"My dear grandson, grandpa will come back to play with you when he goes away, be a good boy~" He looked curiously into the cradle and woke up Xu Pingyuan who had just eaten and fell asleep. Only then did Xu Da get up and go out feeling satisfied.
Xu Dalang, who was in charge of looking after the baby today, had a cold face. Looking at Xu Pingyuan, who had woken up and was holding his mouth to cry, he felt like he was going to kill Xu Da!
Wang Pingping did not dare to touch her brow because of the evil aura all over her body. She gently waved to Xu Yue and sorted out the messy toys left by Xu Da on the ground.
As for the empty dishes and chopsticks on the table, let Xu Erniang come back to wash them. Everyone will help her look after the children and let her do some housework.
What's more, Xu Erniang is also proficient in water magic. For her, washing dishes is a trivial matter that can be solved in minutes.
"By the way." Wang Pingping remembered what Xu Da had said before he left, and asked tentatively: "Has Er Niang sent a message to Yuyang?"
Xu Yue shook her head, her sister never asked Yuyang about it at all.
When Wang Pingping saw this, she finally felt relieved.
She didn’t want to take advantage of anyone with such lovely two grandsons!
The mother and daughter looked at each other and saw the deep love for the twins in each other's eyes.
Perhaps, this is the natural blood relationship. As long as you see the twins, you can't help but feel affection for them. You can't wait to give them the best things in the world, and you can't bear to let them suffer the slightest injustice.
...
Juyong County is extremely hot in May, at least twice as hot as Liaodong County.
The weather was quite cool in the morning, but now the sun was hanging in the middle, burning the air.
Pedestrians on the road wore straw hats on their heads, held paper fans in their left hands, and held iced syrup sold in the berry shop in their right hands, which made them feel better.
Women no longer dare to go out and walk around for fear of getting sunstroke.
The men were much better, with their wide sleeves lifted high and hung on their shoulders, revealing two bare arms.
Wearing breeches just above the knees and straw sandals on his feet, looking from a distance, he thought he was a down-and-out ranger from somewhere.
Xu Da's spiritual energy protects his body and he walks freely. He wears an elegant long-sleeved robe and walks among pedestrians with bare arms and legs, causing pedestrians beside him to stop.
People were surprised at first, but when they saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, they showed a look of respect that suddenly dawned on them, and bowed in vain.
It turns out that he is the "Great Emperor" who can control the wind and rain. No wonder he is not bothered by the heat.
If Xu Da nodded in return, that person would be so excited that he fainted.
Xu Da walked with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, as if he was wandering on clouds in the heavenly palace, feeling secretly happy, this damn charm of this seat~
Walking through the bustling East Street, you turn a corner and a row of bungalows appears.
This is a dormitory newly built by Xu Jiajun, specially rented out to people who have come to the city to work and have no place to stay.
The rent here is not low, about 200 a month for a single room.
However, now the first batch of junior literacy classes have successfully graduated, wages have increased from 20 dollars a day to 30 dollars a day, and many people can afford the monthly rent of 200 dollars.
That's it, the dormitory has just opened for rent and has been rented out in less than a week.
Sun Ashan and the few remaining Huokang Gang disciples rented together a small courtyard with two bedrooms and one living room.
When the Xu family army first settled in Juyong County, the disciples of the Huokang Gang had made great contributions, so Xu Yue gave each of them five performance points.
Yu Tiezhu, Liuzi's master and his disciples exchanged this political achievement point for a bicycle, which made other Huokang Gang disciples cry with envy.
I just don’t know if the master and apprentice can successfully reach their hometown in Jizhou on bicycles.
Worried that something might happen to them on the road, Xu Yue gave them two more chains and tires. If the two of them could ride back to Jizhou smoothly, the Xu family army could consider forming a "cavalry team."
Although it is not as fast as a horse, a bicycle can travel for a day with only one person and two big steamed buns.
If it's a horse, two big steamed buns can't do this.
Disciple Sun exchanged his performance points for a bicycle. Sun Ashan only had five points and could not find other disciples to exchange them for bicycles, so he exchanged some handmade books with Xu Yue.
This book was exchanged by Xu Yue from the science and technology tree. When Xujiazhuang opened a university, she exchanged it for many practical books in one go.
Later, when printing technology matured, many copies of these books were printed and spread to schools in various places to replenish the library.
It is also one of the ways for students in Xu Jiajun’s advanced class to increase their knowledge.
Sun Ashan saw such a library when he was in literacy class. He knew that he could use his performance points to exchange books for his own use, so he decisively used up all his performance points and bought five books related to handicrafts.
When Xu Da followed the dormitory manager to find Sun Ashan's residence, Sun Ashan was holding a scrawled drawing and tapping some wood in the small courtyard.
"What to do?"
Xu Da waved his hand to indicate to the dormitory manager that he could withdraw.
There were only Sun Ashan and a strange little boy of six or seven years old in the courtyard. Xu Da thought he was a new disciple of the Huokang Gang and didn't take it seriously.
Sun Ashan was in a trance when he heard someone asking a question. He raised his head blankly and immediately became happy.
"Master!"
Sun Ashan stood up excitedly, patted his hands casually on his clothes, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, "You're back."
Xu Da nodded, raised his sleeves lightly, bent down with his hands behind his back and looked at the objects at Sun Ashan's feet.
It is a fan blade made of three pieces of wood, as well as some basic gear accessories.
The little boy squatted beside the parts. Under his slightly curly mid-length hair, he opened his big brown eyes and looked at Xu Da curiously.
Only then did Xu Da pay attention to the little boy again. His clothes didn't fit him well. He looked like a child wearing adult clothes, with his cuffs and trousers rolled up several times.
Xu Da looked back at Sun Ashan, who is he?
"Daniel, this is the founder of the Huokang Gang that I often tell you. He is also my master and the father of the leader." Sun Ashan smiled encouragingly at the little boy.
Daniel has been playing with him for a long time. Every time he meets someone, he smiles and has a sweet mouth.
