The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 329: The Vanguard Departs

At dawn the next day, the six men harnessed the carriage and set off. Mu Tou also went with them to get his report card.

The six people passed by the tea stall and were surprised to find that the tea stall was already open, half an hour earlier than usual today.

"Ah Zhi, Ah Liang, here are some freshly steamed buns. You don't need to buy them outside if you have them at home. Eat some on your way. I also baked thirty pancakes for you. I estimate that you can eat them for three days. Any longer than that. They spoil easily in the weather."

Su Yuzhi is a cook, so he is used to making this kind of thing. He can finish it in a short while after getting up early.

The three men's eyes were moist. They were all so old, but they still had to worry about the elders in the village when they went out to do things.

"Uncle, these are all sold for silver. If you give us so much, it will be difficult for you later. I will give you the silver."

Wang Bin felt very embarrassed, so he took out one or two taels of silver from his belt.

As a result, there was a big, warm bag in my arms.

"You guys should finish eating these eggs in the next two days."

After saying that, Su Yuzhi called Liu Bai to set off.

So Wang Bin didn't pay the money, and they could only shout to the back.

"Uncle, we will definitely come back safely."

"okay."

Wang Liang didn't know why. He didn't feel sad when he packed his luggage yesterday, nor when he said goodbye to his family in the morning. But now he felt depressed.

"Sister Lotus, is this job dangerous?"

Su He looked at him in shock, "Young man, isn't it too late for you to question it now?"

Wang Zhi burst out laughing, "He is just a fool, Sister Hehua, just ignore him."

Wang Liang immediately bared his teeth and extended a fist of friendship to Wang Zhi.

Su He shook his head speechlessly and turned to chat with Wang Bin.

"Brother, now that you're here, keep a low profile and try to gather as much intelligence as possible. I have a feeling this won't be peaceful."

Su He looked at Wang Bin solemnly, "If you encounter danger, you should focus on saving your own life. Even if you can't become a constable, we can still be a small landlord. There's no need to risk our lives."

Wang Bin naturally wanted to live, especially since he was married now. The pressure on his shoulders was even greater.

"Don't worry, we won't fight to the death. Have you forgotten? Nanxun is the big boss. If someone really comes to rob, I promise to take Ah Zhi and Ah Liang and hide far away."

Wang Zhi and Wang Liang also heard what their eldest brother said and made assurances to Su He.

"Don't worry, Sister Hehua, I haven't even found a wife yet, I will definitely be able to come back."

During this trip, the four of them talked a lot, which was rare. Mu Tou sat next to his sister and listened silently. Time passed quickly.

Su He and Liu Baimutou accompanied the three people for their last meal at the dock and watched them leave.

Watching the ship going farther and farther away, Su He felt sad for a rare moment.

"Xiao Bai, do you think I shouldn't have let them be constables? If it weren't for me, the three of them would be doing well in the village now."

"If you let them choose, all three of them will choose to be constables, no matter if they were in the past or are now. Let's go back and get some sleep. We have done everything we can. There is no point in imagining anything further."

"Yes, sister, no one blames you."

Su He felt much better after being persuaded by the two men, and the three of them went home together.

After Wang Bin and the other two said goodbye to Su He, they went into the cabin to rest. This ship also belonged to Hongyun Trading Company. Traveling with them were their companions who were traveling by land this time. Including Wang Bin and the other two, there were 40 people in total, five of whom were official constables and the rest were all temporary workers.

Among them, all the people in the team managed by Wang Bin were present.

There was only one reason why they all participated, and that was that transporting grain could bring generous rewards.

Anyone who transported grain would receive 20 taels of silver each. If they met with misfortune, they would receive 80 taels of silver in compensation. In addition, if they had children, the government would give them a temporary job position when they grew up.

Although they are temporary workers, they are obviously very satisfied.

The group that Wang Bin originally led were all from poor families who were admitted to the university. They could not save even one or two taels of silver a year. The 20 taels alone were already very tempting.

Wang Bin was not in a convenient position as team leader, so he asked Wang Zhi to take the meat buns and steamed buns bought at the dock to find his designated team leader, Li Wenzhuo.

Li Wenzhuo has three younger siblings and elderly grandparents.

This is what it really means to have old people above and young people below. The youngest sister is five years old.

This time he ignored his grandfather's dissuasion and insisted on coming, also for the 20 taels of silver.

Their family has many people and they have not saved much money. They can barely make ends meet every month. Since the hail came, they can hardly get enough to eat.

Even if the price of grain only increased by three cents, it would still make them stretched to the limit, not to mention the skyrocketing prices of other daily necessities.

He was the first to sign up for the grain transport recruitment. Of the 20 taels of silver he received, he kept only one tael for self-defense, and gave the remaining taels to his grandfather and taels to his second brother. In his absence, his second brother had to take care of the business.

Li Wenzhuo drank some rice porridge for lunch, and when he got on the boat, he lay down to save energy.

"Li Wenzhuo, this is for me. My brother bought it for me. He said you are good at martial arts. When we get there, we can help each other."

Wang Zhishen was afraid that the man would refuse, so he simply threw the food into his arms, closed the door and left.

Li Wenzhuo opened the bundle and saw 20 big steamed buns and 20 meat buns.

If you eat it sparingly, you can eat it for seven days, but Li Wenzhuo also knows that these things can only last for four days at most, and will go bad after any longer.

Li Wenzhuo was silent for a long time, touched the one or two taels of silver in his arms, and finally accepted Wang Bin's kindness.

He took out a steamed bun and started eating it. After finishing the steamed bun, he ate two meat buns. His stomach was finally six-tenths full.

Being able to eat six-tenths full was already a happy event during the New Year. He took another sip of water, carefully put away the food, lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

Wang Liang was also ordered to the houses of several other team members and was given some steamed buns and meat buns. The quantity was not as much as Li Wenzhuo's, but it was just a token of his appreciation.

After sending the love, the three of them gathered together to study the monocular telescope Su He had given them. They had learned from Su He when the four of them were in the carriage. Now the boat was sailing away, and the three of them opened the window and looked out secretly.

The boat was closer to the shore at this time, so Wang Bin easily saw the people on the shore. He followed Su He's instructions and zoomed in as much as possible, and he could actually see the mole on the corner of the woman's mouth on the shore.

Wang Bin was shocked and after watching it, he gave his seat to his two younger brothers.

"Keep your voice down."

The soundproofing of the cabin was negative. They didn't intend to let anyone know about the telescope.

Wang Bin packed up his telescope, lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

They lived in a small suite. Of course, the government would not book such a luxurious one for them. Su He paid extra money to upgrade it.

There was even a small table for the three of them to drink tea.

The three of them were very comfortable.

Changshui Street

Liu Bai drove the cart to deliver the wood directly to the academy. Su He fell asleep alone at home, feeling a little sad.

I originally thought that after waking up I would wait for dinner.

Who knew that she would be woken up just after she fell asleep.

"Who's looking for me?"

"He said he was Xu Wenyuan's biological father. Xu Wanli."

Su He's brain froze for two seconds before she came to her senses. This Xu Wenyuan was Mu Tou's classmate, the fat boy.

But why did his father come to see her?

Su He greeted the guests in confusion. Liu Bai acted as a servant, brought in two cups of tea, and then stood beside Su He and refused to leave.

"You mean, your son sold all the valuables in the house and gave them to his sister as a dowry?"

Su He finally understood, but what does this have to do with them?

"My son only knows how to eat and drink. He spends whatever money I give him and never asks for more. This is clearly what your Su Che taught him."

Su He got angry when he heard what the fat man in front of him said.
