The next day, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, there were only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.
As soon as it dawned, Xishan was already bustling with activity. It was officially a holiday today, and everyone got up early, packed up their gifts, and prepared to return home.
The same goes for Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Silly Xiong. Everyone has a big bag and a small bag. They went to the capital the day before yesterday and bought some things to take home.
"Everyone, listen up~ You can go to the cafeteria to have breakfast before leaving this morning. In addition, each person can get five steamed buns from the cafeteria to eat on the road. On the way home, remember to be with your fellow villagers and fellow countrymen, and pay attention to safety, Mr. Liu
Please let me wish you all a happy New Year and wish you all the best in the new year and good health to your family~"
Before everyone here came out of the dormitory, the steward from Xishan came to the dormitory and wished everyone a good year on behalf of Liu Jin very loudly.
"Thank you Mr. Liu~"
"Master Liu is still kind to us. He doesn't have to go to work anymore. He even prepared breakfast for us and allowed us to bring steamed buns to eat on the road~"
"Thank you, Laosan, I have never been cared about like this in my life, and no one has ever given me New Year greetings~ woo~ woo~"
When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help shouting, and some were even moved to tears. Who wouldn't feel warm inside when meeting such a boss?
"Okay~Okay~"
"Everyone, hurry up and have breakfast. After dinner, go back early and pay attention to safety on the road."
The steward of Xishan looked at Xie Laosan, who was moved to tears, shook his head slightly, and left without saying a word. They, the stewards, were also preparing to go back.
…
On the pipeline leading from Beijing to Tianjin, Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Silly Xiong were walking together. They were wearing Xishan work clothes and shoes from Xishan. They had short hair and even beards.
They were all clean shaven, and they straightened their backs when walking, looking very energetic and imposing.
While walking on the road, I was chatting. From time to time, when I encountered a beautiful scenery, I would stop and recall some poems I learned in the night class to describe the beautiful scenery. There was even a hint of a scholar's atmosphere.
"Go home~"
Tian Erniu looked back in the direction of Beijing City. He could no longer see the tall city walls of Beijing City, and he was filled with emotions in his heart.
When he first came to the capital as a refugee, he had thought about countless endings, but he never dreamed of ending like this. Looking back suddenly, Tian Erniu felt as if he had been reborn, and he was no longer the one who just wanted to stutter.
, in order for the refugees to survive this cold winter.
"I don't know how Xiu Niang and the others are doing~"
In his heart, Tian Erniu was still thinking about his wife and children. He wished he could fly back to his hometown now that he had a pair of wings, to see his wife and children, and of course, more importantly, to tell them about his life.
What I saw and heard here in the capital.
"Do you think people in the village will recognize us after we go back?"
Zhao Houhou on the side was also very excited. When he thought about bragging to his relatives and friends after going back, he even accelerated his pace with excitement, wishing he could shrink to an inch and get home immediately.
"If you, Zhao Houhou, come to the capital, you are no longer Zhao Houhou. Will you not be able to recognize you?"
Dahu was a little older, so he patted Zhao Houhou's head and said with a smile.
"I don't think they will recognize us. Does this look like our return home?"
Zhao Houhou smiled and continued.
"Returning to my hometown in fine clothes... I'm not afraid of laughing to death. At most, I can see a little bit of the world."
Dahu smiled and shook his head. Even though he was many times better off than the refugees now, there was still a long way to go with returning home.
"Anyway, I've been blown away since I came back. Sooner or later, I will definitely be able to return home in fine clothes."
Zhao Houhou also looked back in the direction of the capital, and couldn't help clenching his fists. After seeing the prosperous world outside, naturally he could never go back to the Zhao Houhou in the past.
…
On another road, eight carriages were driving rapidly towards Changli County.
This carriage is different from ordinary carriages. Ordinary carriages only have two wheels. When walking, horses are not only needed to pull the carriage, but also need to bear the pressure of the front section of the carriage.
But these eight carriages are four-wheeled carriages, and each carriage has two horses pulling the carriage, running side by side, pulling this strange four-wheeled carriage very fast.
In one of the carriages, Liu Jin was lying on a soft cushion, covered with a quilt and sleeping soundly. It was obvious that he was catching up on his sleep.
In order to rush on the road, Liu Jin also set off early in the morning. For Liu Jin who was used to sleeping until he woke up naturally, it was obviously impossible not to make up for it.
What's more, when you're driving in a carriage and there's nothing to do, it would be a pity not to sleep. After a good night's sleep, you've covered most of the journey. This is the experience of later generations who took a car.
"Oh~"
Suddenly, the carriage passed a pit, and Liu Jin's head suddenly hit the carriage, and he woke up from his sleep.
Touching his head, Liu Jin shook his head and said: "The shock absorption system of this four-wheeled carriage is still not good. In the era without springs, shock absorption basically relied on bones."
"It seems that we will have to find a way to get the cement out next year. Then we will build a cement road to Changli first. Then it will be more convenient to go home. This potholed road will also have a shock absorption system."
Liu Jin opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. It was obvious that he was far away from the capital.
This time back, Liu Jin truly returned home. There were eight carriages going home alone. You must know that these four-wheeled carriages are not comparable to two-wheeled carriages. Not only are they longer and larger, they can also be loaded with cargo.
Download more stuff.
Each of the eight carriages was filled with things that Liu Jin wanted to take home. At the same time, for his own safety, Liu Jin also chose a dozen tall people from the people who stayed in Xishan to act as bodyguards.
Go home with your escort.
"This fancy car belongs to a bodyguard. It just needs a beautiful woman. Otherwise, it will be the standard for future generations of wealthy people."
Looking at the carriage in front and behind him, Liu Jin couldn't help but think this way.
At first, I just came to the capital to have fun, but I didn't expect that my stay would last more than two months. Fortunately, Liu Jin often asked people to send letters home to his mother Wang, otherwise Liu Jin's mother Wang would definitely
They will all shed tears, and they will die in a hurry.
"After the Chinese New Year, I took my mother to live in the capital. It also saves me traveling around. In ancient times, transportation was really inconvenient."
