Not long after leaving the capital, Li Chen had already arrived within the jurisdiction of Tongzhou.
He remembered that the group of victims resettled last year was nearby, so he asked the convoy to change its direction slightly and went to the village where the victims were resettled.
When they arrived at the place, Li Chen asked the others to stand by while he took Wan Jiaojiao and Xiao Chuanzi into the village.
“The environment here is nice.”
Wan Jiaojiao looked around curiously, and saw that the newly built village was well planned. Although it was not very prosperous, it still had everything. There was traffic on the roadside, ridges of fields, and old farmers working in the fields. The picture was quite beautiful.
Just as a shepherd boy driving an old cow passed by, Li Chen stopped him and said, "Hey, that kid."
The child sitting on the cattle, wearing a bellyband and pigtails with sky-high braids, turned his head and said to Li Chen proudly: "Who are you calling child? I have a famous name! My name is Niu Bao!"
Li Chen had already forgotten how long it had been since anyone spoke loudly.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to admit his mistake and said: "Yes, yes, I called you wrong. I should have called you by your first name, Niu Bao, right?"
The child became proud and said, "Yes, you called me, what's the matter?"
Li Chen asked: "Does your family live in this village?"
Niu Bao frowned and said: "You look so glamorous, why are you talking nonsense? If I don't live in this village, how could I come out of it?"
Li Chen: "..."
Wan Jiaojiao covered her mouth and kept laughing.
She had never seen the Crown Prince act so majestic that people were trembling with fear and speechless. When had she ever seen the Crown Prince being talked nonsense by others?
Taking out a marzipan from her arms, Wan Jiaojiao shook it at Niu Bao and said, "Do you want to eat the candy in sister's hand?"
Niu Bao's eyes brightened, and he immediately jumped off the cow's back, chasing Wan Jiaojiao and saying, "Sister, beautiful sister, I want to eat, please give it to me!"
Wan Jiaojiao giggled, and after giving Li Chen a proud look, she knelt down and looked at Niu Bao at eye level, and said, "You can eat it if you want, but first you have to answer my brother's question well. After you finish answering, I will give you candy."
eat."
Niu Bao looked at the candy, then at Li Chen, and finally said firmly: "Just ask!"
Li Chen didn't expect that he would be manipulated by a child one day, but now that Wan Jiaojiao has solved it, it is naturally the best.
So Li Chen asked: "Where are your adults?"
"Are you asking about my parents? My parents go to work in the county. My father pulls dung trucks for the Tongzhou Yuanwai. My mother works as a dressmaker in the embroidery shop. Every month, my parents can earn eighty cents.
Where’s the money!”
Niu Bao's crisp answer made Li Chen feel happy.
Everyone has a job and income. This is the life Li Chen wants to give the people of Daqin.
Moreover, this message also revealed a very important point. This group of homeless victims has gradually taken root in Tongzhou.
This is a good sign.
Leaning slightly, Li Chen asked again: "Then your family doesn't have to farm? I remember that the imperial court allocated fields to each of your households."
"Yes."
Niu Bao nodded vigorously, but still stared at the candy in Wan Jiaojiao's hand greedily, and said: "I am helping my grandpa plant it. Grandpa said that our family will plant sweet potatoes this year. The sweet potatoes have a large yield and are delicious.
There are many rich families here who know how to harvest them. Our sweet potatoes are not only enough for us to eat, but we can also sell them for a lot of money. All the money is saved to buy me a wife!"
