You are unlucky and I am tough
Chapter 159 Arrival
After the ship had been sailing for two hours, the sky gradually brightened. The river was covered with mist, and some people on the ship began to feel seasick. They leaned over the railing on the deck and vomited violently. Then they felt even more dizzy when they saw the churning waves below. They sat on the ground and groaned in discomfort.
Cheng Shuang was awakened by a knock on the door. Cheng Guqiu ran to open the door before her. Wei Qinglang was standing outside the door holding Xiao Si.
Cheng Shuang rubbed his eyes and came over. Seeing Xiao Si lying listlessly on his shoulder, he knew what was going on. "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
Wei Qinglang nodded. "He just vomited. Let him stay with you. If he feels uncomfortable, give him a few injections."
"Even if acupuncture is effective, you can't keep doing it." Cheng Shuang reached out and took the child, Xiao Si, over. "I'll go make some medicine later. There's a small kitchen on the second floor. You'll be fine after drinking it."
Cheng Shuang put Xiao Si on the bed, took out a packet of medicine from her bag and handed it to Wei Qinglang, "Boil five bowls of water into two bowls, and save one bowl to drink before going to bed at night."
Wei Qinglang nodded, took the medicine and left. Cheng Shuang returned to the room and gave the child a few injections on the head. After a while, Xiao Si sat up by himself and said he felt much better.
The two cousins who had slept on the floor all night saw the obvious effect. They looked at each other and came forward together. Dong Yun said, "Cousin, we both feel a little uncomfortable and want to vomit."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well?" Cheng Shuang took out the silver needles she had just put away and said, "Come and sit down."
After giving acupuncture to her two cousins, she gave two packets of medicine to Cheng Pan and asked her to decoct the medicine, and then Cheng Guqiu followed her.
Wei Xinyi also woke up and came over to ask Cheng Xu if he was still feeling uncomfortable. Cheng Shuang pinched her cheek and said, "How about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wei Xinyi shook her head, her eyes clear and her spirits high. "No, I'm just hungry and want to eat something."
"The food is in the next room. Take your brother with you to get it."
After the two ran out, Cheng Shuang stretched and was about to sleep for a while, but Cheng Guqiu, who had just left not long ago, came back.
Cheng Guqiu said, "Qinglang was boiling some medicine. The people below smelled it and came to ask about it. They knew it was seasickness medicine and wanted some too. Many villagers are suffering from seasickness, so they wanted to ask if you have any medicine."
Cheng Shuang shook her head. "I only brought a few pairs. I can't give them to so many people."
Although there were a lot of medicines in the system mall, her family members roughly knew what she had brought. She could explain if she took out a few packets, but she couldn't explain if she took out more, so she wouldn't take the risk.
"Then I'll go tell them." Cheng Guqiu said, "I just told them that I probably know what they brought. I didn't see so many medicines. They didn't give up until I asked."
Cheng Shuang thought for a moment and stood up to pick up the small medicine box beside the bed. "There's no medicine left. I'll go see if I can give them an acupuncture to relieve the pain."
.
The speed and arrival time of several ships were well controlled. They arrived in Fucheng on time in the early morning of the next day, passed Fucheng Wharf and Huanhua County Wharf, and docked in turn at the nearest suitable docking place to Xincun.
The villagers worked together to move all the things off the boat and put them on the open space on the shore, and then each family moved them back to the village.
When Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang were on the deck, they saw the village in the distance. The houses were relatively concentrated. There were mountains behind the village, but they were quite far away. A winding road extended to the village in front. A big locust tree could be seen at the entrance of the village from a distance.
Some of the first group of villagers who got off the boat couldn't wait to run towards their new homes.
Cheng Shuang and her crew were the second boat to dock. She had just stepped off the boat, carrying her rabbit cage, when Aunt Xinghua came running over, panting. "Cheng Shuang, go and see! That house with the white wall at the entrance of the village is yours. It's big and beautiful."
Cheng Shuang followed Aunt Xinghua's finger and looked forward. She saw a white house about two hundred meters away from the village entrance in the distance. She could only see the high walls and could not see inside.
Cheng Shuang was puzzled, "Is that our home?"
"That's right, your man's name is posted on the door. Oh, the outer wall is so high, taller than the house." Aunt Xinghua gestured with a happy expression.
Cheng Shuang asked, "Isn't my aunt illiterate?"
"Xiaoguo told me that he and his sister were going door to door looking for their house."
Cheng Shuang suddenly perked up and turned around to call her brothers and sisters-in-law, "Let's go, grab some light things, and go take a look at our new home first."
She heard that every household built their houses according to their original ones, except for a few particularly poor families who lived in thatched houses. The government then said they would build adobe houses for them.
Their house is a bamboo house, which costs more than an adobe house. She doesn't know how the government arranged it, but Cheng Shuang thought that since she was here, she would build a house she liked anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was adobe or something else, as it was temporary anyway.
When I got closer, I saw that the wall was indeed very high. Although it was painted with white lime, you could still tell that it was made of stone bricks. It exuded a sense of warmth in the morning light. There was a piece of paper with Wei Qinglang's name on it pasted on the gate.
The government had allocated each family a place to live in advance, and names were posted on the doors of the houses. Cheng Shuang was a little surprised when she looked at the high-walled courtyard in front of her. She heard that in order to settle the villagers from several villages, Prefect Zhu asked the court for a sum of money. It seemed that the court gave a lot of money, and actually built such a nice house for her family.
Cheng Shuang took Xiao Si by the hand, tore off the name on the door, and then pushed the door open.
Facing the entrance is a space of about 30 square meters. There is a circle of space along the wall for planting things, and the ground is paved with large bluestone slabs.
Looking to the right, there is a small courtyard with a rose tree in it. There is a brick garden at the bottom. It can be seen that the rose tree originally grew here and was not transplanted.
But what surprised Cheng Shuang the most was that there was a well in the yard. The family could draw water directly from it in the future without having to carry water.
The three little ones were already running around the yard happily, shouting how beautiful their new home was. Cheng Shuang reminded them, "Run slowly. Don't go near the well over here, or you might fall in, okay?"
Cheng Guqiu looked around and said, "Shuang'er, this yard is really nice. There's even a sink here, so it's convenient for washing things!"
Wei Qinglang was the last one to enter, and he looked around with satisfaction.
After looking at the yard, the family began to visit each house one by one. The three rooms on the east side were the kitchen, bathroom and a large empty room. It was so empty that it was hard to tell what it was used for. The space was much larger than the kitchen.
In the middle is the main room and two bedrooms, which contain some simple furniture and beds. The walls are whitewashed with lime, and the windows face the courtyard.
There are also three bedrooms on the west side, as well as a toilet with a small door on the side leading to the outside.
When they opened the door, they saw a large open space outside, probably the vegetable plot allocated to their family, about one acre in size. There was also a small river on the east side, winding its way to the next village.
After the tour, Cheng Shuang was about to go back, but when she looked up, she was stunned. There were several houses less than 20 meters away from her home, and Wei Changgui and his two sons walked out of the door of the nearest adobe house.
Wei Changgui was walking around the new house with his hands behind his back. Just by looking at his back, one could tell he was very proud.
The smile on Cheng Shuang's face disappeared instantly. She raised her finger and turned to look at Wei Qinglang, "They don't live in that house, do they? That's too close."
Wei Qinglang also frowned. What a mistake. Why did he forget to make it clear with the government in advance and separate this family further away?
