Liu Xiaolu took one directly out of the oil paper package, peeled off the outer oil paper and put it in her mouth, "Sizzle..." It turned out to be pineapple flavored.

She saw that the candy was a bit yellowish in color and wondered if it was pineapple or mango.

It definitely won’t be oranges. There are many varieties of orange trees, and they don’t necessarily have to grow in the tropics.

She guessed it right.

Liu Xiaolu gave one to each person: "It's pineapple flavored, try it, it's ok."

After Liu's father paid the bill and came out, he each took a pineapple-flavored hard candy and ate it with relish.

Their ship should be the last one to arrive today.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, the shops in the market saw off the last batch of customers and prepared to close and go home.

After Liu's friends finished shopping, they realized there was no way they could go into town for a stroll, so they gave up and returned to the boat.

After they returned to the boat, the night gradually became quiet.

Only occasionally could a few words be heard, accompanied by the rustling of birds and the sound of wind blowing through the branches.

Father Liu brought everyone back to the room, sorted out the things they bought, and finally took out the bag of unknown seeds and said: "I know this seed, but I just can't remember what it is. I subconsciously thought it was very useful, so I bought it. I'll plant it out and see after I settle down. Xiaolu, you should put these things away. Everyone keep some things that they can use on a daily basis, and put away the rest. There are all kinds of people on the ship, so you still have to be careful."

Liu Caixia: "Dad, even though there are no outsiders among us, you still have to keep the toothpaste and toothbrush you use so that they won't be discovered by the people on the boat."

Father Liu: "I know. When we used them, we took them back to the room and hid them in our bags after use."

Liu Hao: "I don't know how people live nowadays. If I don't brush my teeth for two days, I feel uncomfortable in my mouth."

Qu Dingliang: "Come on, forget it. We are the only ones who have the ability to do so. Those who don't have the ability to brush their teeth are still here."

Allen Chu: "If you don't have space and water abilities, what can you use to brush your teeth? Even eating becomes a problem."

Liu Hao smiled carelessly: "Hehehe, yes, so I cherish the present day very much."

Liu Caixia: "Some people got off the ship today, and some more people will probably get on tomorrow. This is a big personnel change. Be careful."

"According to this situation, we will reach Shanfang and Shanyuan counties tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and Shanqing County the day after tomorrow. It is indeed much faster than the land route. However, it will be evening when we arrive in Shanqing County, and we don't know if we can make it to the city. We still have to be prepared. If we can't enter the city, we have to find a place to stay overnight outside the city."

Liu Xiaolu: "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Even if you live outside the city, I have a lot of things for the night. Don't worry about being frozen."

Liu Xiaolu thought her grandfather was worried that it would be cold at night, so she collected quite a few quilts, including down quilts, silk quilts, and cotton quilts.

Because there were outsiders around, she couldn't let others use it, so she only used it secretly occasionally.

Occasionally, secretly add a blanket inside the quilt to keep warm.

Now, there is no outsider around, so it’s okay to take it out and let everyone use it overnight.

Liu Xiaolu: "Grandpa, I also have tents, sleeping bags and other camping supplies. Don't worry if you forgot them."

Liu Caixia: "Your grandpa is not worried about spending the night outside the city. He wants to enter the city earlier, get familiar with the situation earlier, report to the government office earlier, settle down earlier, and go to the place where he will stay earlier."

"Forget it, there's no rush. I just think that we'll be there in a few days, and I'm a little excited. Hahaha."

Father Liu felt that his daughter understood him and knew his feelings.

Maybe everyone feels the same way.

Liu Hao and the other two also laughed quietly: "Uncle Liu, when you say that, our hearts are also a little excited! Hehe!"

"Okay, okay, time flies, let's go to bed!"

"Okay, Dad, let's go back and rest first. Don't worry about accommodation. We can also stay at a farmer's house near the dock. If you pay a little money, I believe many families are willing to do this business. And we can also inquire about the local situation from these people. There are many ways."

"Got it, let's go!" Father Liu saw them out the door and urged them to leave quickly.

"Be careful and watch the road at night."

"Okay, Dad, go back and rest!"

Liu Caixia took Liu Xiaolu's hand and walked to the stairs on the side, and stepped up the stairs gently step by step.

When they returned to the room, the mother and daughter had already rested.

After a day of getting to know them, Liu Caixia also learned from their daily chats that the two people were going to Shanyuan County to visit relatives. The woman's surname was Liu. Liu Caixia also learned some of the titles used at that time. She knew that women at that time were generally called aunts, and usually took their husband's surname.

The girl who was traveling with me was named Yu Lian.

Their father was a master chef in a furniture shop in Shanyuan County.

He was promoted this year and brought his son over as an apprentice, and now he has brought his wife and daughter over as well.

Aunt Yu said that the woman was already thirteen years old this year, and it would be better to settle down for two years and try to find a good marriage than to live in the countryside.

My son is sixteen years old this year. After he became an apprentice in Shanyuan County, many people proposed marriage to him. Recently, his father Yu Yang has arranged a marriage for him. The girl is also an apprentice in an embroidery studio in the county town.

For his son Yu Song, this was already a good marriage.

After hearing about her son's engagement, Aunt Yu thought about bringing her daughter over. If she could send her daughter to the embroidery studio as an apprentice, it would provide an extra guarantee for future marriages.

Yu Lian started sewing and mending at the age of eight.

I don't know how many skills I have, but at least I can make clothes by myself now. I will go to a regular embroidery studio to learn some techniques, and then I can embroider some patterns.

Liu Caixia didn't understand at first. She boarded the ship from Jiangcheng, which was bigger and more prosperous, and it was also the provincial capital.

Why did they go to Shanyuan County, which is even farther away? I learned that they also came from Dahuan Mountain. The man had learned carpentry from his father since he was a child. By chance, he met his father's fellow apprentice. When his father fell ill, he asked this fellow apprentice to take care of his son.

Finally, after his father passed away, Yu Yang worshipped his uncle as his master and followed his master to Shanyuan County, where his master's hometown was. He had a carpentry shop of a medium size and took him in to work with the two apprentices he had taken in before.

In the past ten years, they have had more than 20 days of holiday during the Chinese New Year. Including the time spent on the road, they can only stay at home for three to five days, which is why they only have two children.

It is indeed because the couple has too little time to reunite.

But now, after all the hardships, Yu Yang has become a master. He can take on some carpentry work independently and bring his son up to train him personally. Now he can also bring his wife and daughter to live with him. For ordinary people, this is the best result.

As expected, there are migrant workers everywhere.

I have to run around for a living.
