Chapter 914 Boarding the Ship

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Wang family was so excited that they stayed up all night and got up to pack their bags at dawn the next day.

    ???????????????? Actually, there¡¯s nothing to deal with.  Because Wang Liu still didn't believe Da Cong's words, he hadn't made up his mind to move completely.  I only packed clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and the few remaining rations.  I didn¡¯t bring any tables, chairs, benches, or broken cabinets or boxes, so I was prepared to come back if things got worse.

    If Wang Liu¡¯s original intention was to follow, today he should be alone and follow Chi Dacong to explore the situation. It would not be too late for the whole family to go out after knowing the depth.

    But Chi Dacong told them that they would take care of the food as soon as they boarded the ship. Even if they went to check it out and didn't want to stay, they wouldn't be asked to pay for the food.  For this reason, he couldn't stop his family from going.

    As soon as we finished packing, Da Cong from outside came to tell us to leave.

    "I heard it." Wang Liu responded in a muffled voice. His two sons had already pushed the door open and rushed out, clinging to Da Cong.

    Wang Liu felt depressed again, but he finally felt a little more at ease when he saw that Chi Dacong was indeed taking his parents, siblings, and everyone in the family on the road.

    When his sister helped his father out, Wang Liu took out a piece of hemp rope he picked up from the dock and tied the door of his house tightly.

    Chi Dacong wanted to mock him again, but thought that business was more important and stopped provoking him.

    At this time, several other families from the neighboring houses also came out of their shacks.

    "go?"

    "Are you going too?"

    "Together."

    ?We all greeted awkwardly but politely and left the couple's den together.

    On the trail leading to Guan Town, there were more and more people with their families, and soon a queue of people connected head to tail was formed.

    This made Old Man Wang feel relieved, but also very strange. He asked Da Cong in a low voice: "Da Cong, are all these going?"

    "No." Chi Dacong nodded and said, "Today we are the first wave, and there will be a ship coming to pick up people tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

    "So many people are moving, why don't I hear any movement?" Old Man Wang asked in surprise.

    "Hey, what's so strange about this?" Chi Dacong smiled and said, "The land is first come, first served. If you go late, you can only plant what others pick out. Everyone wants to choose by themselves first, but of course not  Like me, I have to drag my neighbors along."

    "Da Cong is so benevolent and righteous!" Old Man Wang praised him with admiration. Even the shy Wang Bamei secretly glanced at Da Cong, who was usually inconspicuous.

    "What a wise man!" Unexpectedly, not only Lao Wang's family, but also several neighbors were praising him in this way. Chi Dacong was so proud that his tail was raised to the sky.

    Wang Liu became more vigilant when he saw this. He always felt that Chi Dacong was too attentive.  The storyteller often said, "To be courteous for nothing is to be a traitor or a thief." Wang Liu firmly believed this.

    Of course, if your family is so poor, the other party must not be seeking wealth, but someone who is coveting his family.

    In his opinion, Chi Dacong was probably attracted to his wife.

    Well, I have a sister, but she is only thirteen years old!  This thirty-year-old bachelor would be even worse than a beast if he dared to take advantage of Bamei!

    That¡¯s why he would always guard against this guy like a thief, instinctively wanting to maintain a social distance from him.

    ??????????????????????? But the whole family is hungry, so we can only go to the green mountains knowing that there are green mountains

    ??~~

    With a heavy heart, Wang Liu came to Xushuguan Pier, where he usually works.

    He pulled hard on the worn felt hat on his head, fearing that the foreman would recognize him. How could he have the dignity to come back in two days?

    Fortunately, Kunkaisi used reed mats and bamboo poles to separate an open space on the dock as an area for farmers and workers to register and wait for the ship.

    After Chi Dacong brought them into the reed shed, he asked them to wait where they were He said this not only to Wang Liu's family, but also to several other neighbors.  He also repeatedly told them not to be taken away by anyone and to wait until he came back.

    Chi Dacong glanced at his father and brother again, and then turned around and walked towards the registration table not far away.

    "Excuse me, I've brought six households here!" Chi Dacong nervously reported to the steward behind the desk.

    "Did you sign up last year?" The steward asked without raising his head: "Which session did you go to?"

    "Hey, hey." Chi Dacong nodded and said repeatedly: "My name is Chi Dacong, and I have been assigned to Yaoqi Farm."

    "Yeah." The manager rubbed his hands, opened the thick book at hand, turned to the page numbered 17, and found the name.

    "Bring it with you," the steward said.

    "Boss, this" Chi Dacong rubbed his fingers and asked impatiently.  Not for one tael of silver for that householdWould he go to Wang Liu's house again and again to receive a huge reward from his son?

    "What's the rush?" The manager said expressionlessly, "I'll cash it in after I settle in. I'm giving it to you now. Are you embarrassed to take it in front of them?"

    "Yes, yes." Chi Dacong smiled and stepped back, calling Wang Liu and the others to come over.

    During the time he was away, many people came over and enthusiastically asked Wang Liu to register at their farm.  Fortunately, Chi Daming and his father were on guard and were not killed.

    Wang Liu was confused and thought, since when did we become so popular?  Why are you all vying for us to join?

    ????????????????? But this made him feel a little relieved. It¡¯s unlikely that these people would also hit his wife, right?

    The family followed Chi Dacong to the registration table in confusion, and Chi Dacong introduced them enthusiastically.

    "Shut up." The manager rolled his eyes at him and asked Wang Liu and his family who was in charge.

    Old man Wang said it was him.

    The person in charge asked if you knew what you were doing.

    Old man Wang said that he followed Da Cong to Kunshan to farm.

    The person in charge asked him again whether he went voluntarily or was forced, and Old Wang said voluntarily.

    The person in charge then asked him, have all the members of the family come?

    Old man Wang hurriedly replied that all eight members of his family were here.

    The person in charge asked the people behind to stand farther away, stood up and looked at the family one by one, old and young, and then sat back behind the table, feeling a little dissatisfied.

    "Your family has a large population, but there are only two people, one old and one young, with a total labor force of two. Can they cultivate ten acres of land?" the steward asked carefully.  This is the minimum requirement for Quincas.

    "Yes, of course I can!" Old Man Wang hurriedly patted his chest and said, "My family are all good farmers! Let alone ten acres, twenty acres is no problem!"

    "Is your waist broken, old man?" The people in charge were all dental brokers, and you could tell at a glance that this person was worthless.

    "I'm still growing a vegetable garden, so I can work on the land!" Old Man Wang said hurriedly, "Besides, my second son and daughter are both 14 and 15 years old, so they can do a lot of hard work!"

    In order to make the family stay, he gave each of his two children an extra year.

    The manager looked at the thin brother and sister, somewhat hesitant.

    He really wasn¡¯t taking the opportunity to make things difficult and want to gain some benefits.  These poor people can't squeeze a drop of oil out of them.  Moreover, the Jiangnan Group has zero tolerance for corruption and extortion of bribes. If the secret agents of the 'Inspection and Supervision Commission' find out, they will be fired immediately and will never be re-employed.

    ???????????? In fact, those in charge are responsible for pre-trial.  In addition to eliminating risks and troubles, the family's productivity must also be assessed.

    "I'm not afraid of having a small family, but I'm afraid of being burdened by not being able to go to the fields."  Kunkaisi is not a good person, so he will definitely not make uneconomical transactions.

    Fortunately, Wang Qi and Bamei are indeed not young, and together they can support the entire labor force.  The manager finally couldn't resist the family's pleas, so he registered the family's situation in the book, then handed a bamboo sign to Old Man Wang and said: "Take it, don't lose it, get on the boat."

    Mr. Wang¡¯s family was relieved and cherished this opportunity even more.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
