Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 30: Entering the Pass
The Yuan family has already packed up everything, and everyone is waiting to set off.
Old Lady Liu and Shen Chulan were teasing Yaoyao in the carriage, using chicken feathers as if they were teasing a kitten, making Yaoyao giggle and spit out her saliva, which made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh heartily. Guoan and Guowang on the side were laughing and clapping their hands. Xiaohei was lying on the bed, wagging his tail with a smile on his face. It was a lively scene.
Ali, holding ten taels of silver, heard cheerful laughter coming from inside the carriage before he even got close to it, which made him feel a little happy.
He stood outside the carriage and asked politely, "Is the lady in there?"
Old Lady Liu paused teasing Yaoyao, handed the chicken feather to Shen Chulan, and lifted the curtain to look at Ali, "Young man, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ah Li touched Xiao Hei who was circling around him, gave him a piece of dried meat, and said with a smile:
"Auntie, this is the case. My young master likes the food you cook. Our master would like to ask if you can help prepare a meal for him during this period. We will provide the ingredients. Don't worry, your help will not be in vain. Here is ten taels of silver."
Ali explained the reason and handed the ten taels of silver in his hand to Old Lady Liu.
Old Mrs. Liu was confused. Their family didn't cook any food for the young master, so how could they say that the young master liked their food?
Only then did Ali realize that he had not told the young master that the bowl of sweet potato milk had gone into his stomach.
He explained, "Auntie gave me a bowl of breakfast this morning. My young master just woke up from a coma and smelled the aroma of the breakfast. His appetite was whetted. So, my master asked you to help prepare some food so that he could eat more."
It took Old Lady Liu a long time to understand what was going on. She waved her hand, pushed the ten taels of silver back, and said, "I thought it was something else. These are all trivial matters. No need to pay."
Mr. Lu helped last night and took them into the city. He had already collected 500 taels of silver notes. It would be unreasonable to collect more now.
Old Lady Liu thought for a moment and then said, "As for the ingredients, you don't need to provide any. It's just a matter of one more bowl for one meal!"
These words made Ali look at Old Lady Liu with a higher opinion. People who are knowledgeable, sensible and understand the ways of the world can often solve many troublesome problems.
As for the issue of ingredients, Ali planned to take a look at it at noon. If the food was not good enough, he would give the ingredients to the Yuan family and have a meal at that time.
Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first." Ali bowed and said goodbye.
A breeze blew through the curtain, lifting a corner of it, and Ali met a pair of bright, dark eyes. The little baby in a red jacket and pants smiled toothlessly when he saw him, and waved his hands and feet with joy.
Besides Xiao Ci, this was the first time Ali saw a baby who was prettier than the dolls in New Year pictures. His heart softened immediately. He had never seen a smart and clever baby in his sixteen years of life.
It looks like the moon hasn't come out yet.
Yaoyao recognized Ali as the person who had just delivered the banknotes to their family, and gave him a big smile without hesitation.
She is now a poor girl, a little baby who can't crawl or walk and can only eat, drink and sleep.
When she suddenly saw the boy giving out money, she was so excited.
The little girl didn't know who the real money-giving boy was...
"Mom, what do the Lu family want from you?" Shen Chulan asked.
Old Lady Liu replied, "They came to ask us to help prepare a meal. Their young master just woke up from a coma and likes our food. Master Lu asked us to help."
"They have helped us so much, it's only right that they help prepare some food." Shen Chulan nodded.
Old Lady Liu nodded in agreement and said, "Your cooking skills have always been the best. You will be the one to cook for the young master. This will also allow the Lu family to see our sincerity."
"It's okay to make one portion. I'll cook for everyone from now on. I've been feeling much better recently, so cooking is no problem for me." Shen Chulan said.
Although she helped with cooking during the past half month, she was just an assistant at most. Her sister-in-law never let her do any heavy work. Shen Chulan was particularly grateful to her on the way to escape the famine.
"Okay, just discuss it with your sister-in-law." Old Mrs. Liu felt very relieved when she heard what Shen Chulan said. The most fortunate thing in her life was that she had chosen two virtuous and sensible daughters-in-law.
Except for the third daughter-in-law chosen by Yuan Laosan himself, she was lazy, treacherous, treacherous, selfish, and there was nothing that Old Lady Liu liked.
Seeing Yaoyao yawning, Old Lady Liu gave Guoan two pieces of chestnut cakes, and Guowang asked them to eat them and not disturb his sister's sleep.
The two boys were also very well-behaved. When they saw their sister sleeping, they stopped playing and sat obediently in the carriage to eat chestnut cakes.
Old Mrs. Liu took out another piece of chestnut cake and gave it to Guoping, Guoxing and the others.
The third son's wife sat on the ox cart and looked at the chestnut cakes in Guoping and Guoxing's hands with envy, which scared the two boys so much that they quickly ate the chestnut cakes.
"Tsk, who cares?" The third son's wife lay down cursing.
As daylight brightened, the city gates opened and the victims rushed in.
"Snapped!"
The officers and soldiers held the whips and swung them hard on the ground.
"Queue up, queue up, queue up honestly!"
The victims were frightened by the whips in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and lined up obediently.
In order to be in the front of the line, the victims fought each other, but the officers and soldiers did not care. They only recognized the pass.
A horse-drawn carriage drove up to the officers and soldiers, followed by four horse-drawn carriages and an ox-drawn cart.
Behind the five carriages was a cart, which was filled with luggage.
Ali handed a pass and a letter to the officers and soldiers.
The officer looked at Ali and then reached out to take the pass and a letter and handed them to the team leader who was recording the documents.
In the carriage, Old Lady Liu and Shen Chulan were filled with joy and prayed with their hands clasped together.
Yuan Laoer and the others felt a little uneasy, and the blue veins on their hands that were holding the rope were visible.
"Tiezhu, come up quickly."
The third son's wife waved behind her with an anxious look on her face.
The Yuan family watched Zhang Tiezhu jump onto the ox cart with cold eyes, and they were extremely angry.
However, the third son's wife squeezed aside as expected, and Guoping and Guoxing were left with only a small space to sit.
After reading the letter, the captain waved to the officers and soldiers, signaling them to let them pass.
The officers and soldiers nodded and trotted over to clear the obstacles blocking the road.
When the Yuan family saw the envious eyes of the disaster victims, they felt a lump in their noses and discomfort in their chests for some reason.
The Yuan family only breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage entered the pass.
Things went so smoothly that they finally entered the customs. The Yuan family felt as if they were still in a dream.
They originally thought that they would have to wait in line for a long time before they could enter the country, and it was not certain whether they could enter the country. Now that they have entered the country, they feel like they are still in a dream, and everything that happened seems so unreal.
But the Yuan family knew that entering the customs was only the first step, and the second step was to find a suitable place to settle down.
The carriage continued along the way.
At noon, the carriage stopped in a shady place.
Perhaps because the city wall restricted the time for disaster victims to enter, we did not encounter any disaster victims along the way.
As soon as the Lu family servants got off the carriage, they saw the men of the Yuan family picking up firewood, looking for water sources, and building earthen stoves. They all had clear division of labor and worked in an orderly manner.
Even a few kids followed behind the adults to help.
