Reborn Brother Farming Story

Chapter 242

"Hey, hey. Everyone hold on to the wood, don't let go, or it will be troublesome to sink." Liu Yaoqing stood on the boat, holding Brother Zhezi's arm, "I don't ask you to be like Brother Feng. ability, but at least I can swim when I fall into the sea.”

"Brother Qing, are you thirsty?" Brother Zhezi was also standing on the boat, but his feet seemed to be nailed to it, firmly.

Liu Yaoqing just followed the waves and the boat swayed, and simply leaned on Brother Zhezi's arms, which was much more secure, he took a breath and said, "Well, I'm a little thirsty."

Brother Zhezi took off the water bag hanging from his waist, unplugged it and fed it to Liu Yaoqing.

There was a square frame surrounded by wood in front of the two of them, which was divided into many small grids. There were men together, brothers together, and a few courageous women, wrapped in strong cloth strips, holding the front of the box. Plank, feet sliding in sea water.

Since the news of the recruitment spread, coupled with the unanimous scenes, the number of people coming to Haihai has increased.

"That island must be Brother Qing's hometown. He wants to go back and rebuild a fairyland, so I will risk my life to go!" The man said, wiping his tears with his head down, "If Brother Qing didn't bring potatoes , my family does not know how many people can survive, my father and mother have to..."

"But brother Qing said that it was just a big show. He was born and raised in Shanggu Village. Don't let brother Qing hear what you said."

"Success, I know, I must learn to swim!" The man was very firm.

He was one of the first batch of people selected by the stewards to learn swimming. Linhai took care of one meal a day. If he learned how to swim and was selected in the future, he would not need to pay for the meal. You have to pay for it with food.

The man's family has a lot of land, which can fill the granary this year, so he has no hesitation.

People around him also know that his home is very remote, and even the top-quality fields there can’t grow much crops. In order to save food for export, the children and young adults in the village can survive. never come back.

It sounds cruel, but only in this way can the rations be left to keep the children and young adults alive, otherwise the village will be wiped out.

Until last year, the yamen sent people to send corn and potatoes, and it was said that the output was a lot.

The man's father and mother were going to go to the mountains, gnawing grass and leaves until the potatoes and corn were harvested. Looking at the piles of grain, the family sat in the yard and cried all day and night. Since then, they have respected the legendary Liu Yaoqing is a real god.

There was food in the village, and everyone looked good, so they also went to the town far away, and finally saw a big show, the man discussed with his family, packed up and came to Linhai.

He couldn't swim, but he didn't want to go back, so he persisted at the gate of Linhai for several days.

Liu Yaoqing heard that she came out to see him, and saw many men who couldn't swim had no choice but to leave, so she thought of this way and asked them to learn to swim.

"Except for those who live by the sea, most of them don't know how to swim." Liu Yaoqing said, "It's good to let them learn."

After learning to swim all morning, everyone lined up to go to Linhai. There is a special room where you can wash your body in the salty sea water, and then go to the dining hall to eat. Three dishes, steamed buns or pancakes are enough, and you can eat as much as you can.

Continue to learn to swim in the afternoon.

After you have learned it, you will have an interview. If you are selected, you will be able to learn literacy and other specific arrangements.

"I've been selected." Brother Ling ran home and shouted loudly, "I'm going on a long journey."

"Hey." The woman came out of the room, saw the excited Brother Ling, and wiped away her tears worriedly.

"Mother." Brother Ling said, "I'm afraid of swimming, and it's not like you haven't seen the big boat that looks like a hill, and Brother Qing said that it's more expensive to work there, so don't try to make a lot of money , I have to come back in a year at most, and if I want to go again, it will take another year."

"One year, that's pretty good."

Scenes like this happen in many places.

Although it's a long trip, but at most a year, if you want to continue working, Brother Qing won't let you.

"This time, Brother Qing is also there. We are the first batch to be selected. When we go there, we will not only pay the usual wages, but also extra expenses for leaving home. I don't remember much. Anyway, there is a lot of money. Brother Ling said, gesturing with his hands, "The food over there is delivered here in Linhai, and the taste is the same."

In fact, the road is farther away, and the rest is the same as at home.

I used to be very hungry and couldn't find food, so I had to go to the sea to fight for my life. The fish I fished out were only boiled in clear water, and the taste was not good; At least there are meat and vegetables, and the fish are all carefully cooked.

There is also fish in the Linhai dining hall. Brother Ling has eaten it, and it is braised in soy sauce. The fish is fresh but not greasy.

"We're leaving tomorrow." Liu Yaoqing lay down next to Brother Zhezi, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Brother Hui helped us take care of the baby, my scalp has been buzzing for the past two days."

"Let you teach them howling songs." Brother Zhezi also laughed.

"It's not that Liu Doudou and Bai Niangxian insisted on learning, so I taught them a little bit, who knew they were addicted." Liu Yaoqing pouted.

The melody is easy for children to remember, and occasionally it sounds good, but it can't stand Bai Niangxian and Liu Doudou's whistling day and night. Except for sleeping, they usually whistle when they think of it, so that Liu Yaoqing falls asleep at night The singing of the two children rang in my ears.

Many people gathered on the pier early in the morning, all wearing clothes of the same style and color. There were many men, few brothers, and even fewer women. Numbers are legible.

"Everyone line up, don't fall behind."

"The sea is different from ours here. You can't take anything there, especially bugs. Let me stress it one last time. If I find you on a big ship, I will send you back. You can't come to work in the sea again. Remember that! "

"remember!"

Everything brought on board has to go through a detailed inspection. Basically, except for clothes, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, etc., food and beverages are rarely brought on board. Everyone knows the rules and boards the ship smoothly under the inspection of the stewards.

There is a low bed in the house, which is fixed on the boat. Four people live in a cabin, and they eat in a special dining hall.

Brother Ling checked his own bed. The corn husk box was placed on the bedside, and he came out stooping. Seeing Brother Mao approaching, he smiled and said, "Brother Mao, why are you here?"

"Let's see if you are going well or not." Brother Mao smiled and said, "Are you still getting used to it?"

"Well, it's very good here. Are you done with your work? Let's go to the dining hall to have dinner together." Brother Ling vaguely knew that Brother Mao's identity was different from them, and he had seen Brother Mao meeting Liu Yaoqing alone by chance.It's just that he will ask what should be asked, and he will not ask what should not be asked. This is what the stewards emphasized during the class at night.

Brother Mao lowered his head and drew a symbol on the paper in his hand, and said, "Success, let's go eat."

It so happened that Liu Yaoqing led Liu Doudou to cook in the dining hall, Zhezi led Bainiangxian over there, and Hui brother helped carry several plates.Seeing Brother Ling coming in, Liu Yaoqing teased, "I still think of Brother Ling, but I want to die alone. I never thought there would be a man I like."

"Hey." Brother Ling didn't refute, and acquiesced.

Brother Mao didn't refute, and acquiesced.

Brother Ling's appearance is not outstanding, but he is quite capable. At the beginning, he didn't know Liu Yaoqing well, but now he is already familiar with him. He even said that he doesn't want to let his parents help to arrange a marriage, and he wants to find a partner by himself. Heartfelt.

Starting from Dan County, men and buddies who work are more assertive, and most of them tend to find a suitable partner by themselves, unlike at home, waiting for their parents to arrange.

"Come and eat together." Liu Yaoqing said.

The food on the boat is the same as the one in Linhai, except that the people in charge of the dining hall are those like Brother Mao, so the taste is a little different, but it feels good to change the taste once in a while.

"This is the bean sprouts made by myself, fried sliced ​​meat, very refreshing." Liu Yaoqing took some of it for Liu Doudou.

Liu Doudou picked up a few of them with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, chewing for a while before swallowing them, "Father, these bean sprouts are not as chewy as cucumbers, and fried pork slices with cucumbers are delicious."

"That's because you are still young, we adults won't find it difficult to chew bean sprouts." Liu Yaoqing said.

"Father, give me a chopstick to taste too." Bai Niangxian said hastily upon hearing this.

Liu Yaoqing picked up the bean sprouts for him again, but without taking back the chopsticks, she turned a corner and picked up the egg white from the plate in front of Brother Zhezi and ate it. Seeing Brother Zhezi picking up the egg yolk from her own plate, Liu Yaoqing couldn't help laughing.

Life at sea is not boring either. By the time everyone feels bored, the big ship has slowly stopped and arrived.

They all took their own things and changed into boats and boarded the pier.

The stewards who came along immediately became serious, "Now everyone follow their respective stewards, don't run around. If you run around and get lost, then the danger is not guaranteed. Pay attention and don't be lazy!"

Another group of men stood guard around the pier for another layer of protection.

Back in Linhai, everyone had their own stewards, and it's still the same here.Those who were near the road followed the stewards on foot, and those who were far away followed the stewards in a carriage, and went to the places they were in charge of respectively.

"This is just the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch in the future..." Liu Yaoqing waited at the pier for the last person to leave, watching the last person board the carriage, "I believe things will change here soon."

Some of the original trees on the island had to be cut down, and the roots had to be dug out, but some of them had to be left behind. After marking, a special person carried a ladder to trim the branches.

Everywhere is busy, and there is endless work every day, but the food is the same as in Linhai, and the clothes are the same. Occasionally, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go to the doctor for free. Life here is not at all. bitter.

Liu Yaoqing still went to live in the camp, and Du Xiu came almost every day.

The progress of those places is reported by the stewards every day, and what is lacking and what is more must be arranged in detail.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu Yaoqing nodded in satisfaction.
