Chapter 273 Departure, a new future
Chapter 273 Departure, a new future
The next morning, before the sun had fully risen, the sky was already turning pale.
Everyone had already gathered outside Qian Duoduo's yard, waiting quietly.
They stood together, looking towards the gate with focused and slightly anxious expressions, as if they were expecting some important moment to come.
These people were all refugees who had been rescued before. No matter they were old or young, they were all waiting to say goodbye to Qian Duoduo.
After all, it was Qian Duoduo who took them in during the most difficult times, and they will never forget this kindness.
The imperial court has begun to send people back to their hometowns one after another, and they are no exception today, and they are also facing the fate of separation.
The morning sunshine shines on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to people, but it cannot dispel the sadness of parting, but it also brings the joy of returning home.
These people who are about to leave are filled with longing for their hometown and confusion about the future.
Zhou She did not ask Chunxia and the others to wake up Qian Duoduo on purpose. It was not because Qian Duoduo woke up late, but because these people came early.
So, when Qian Duoduo heard the news, he was quite surprised.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, Miss. Butler Zhou has arranged all the work very well.
These are the people who wanted to come and say thank you.”
Qian Duoduo nodded slightly, understanding.
"I think he must have set off today with the imperial officials.
Come on! Help me wash and dress first, we can have dinner later."
With the help of Chunxia and Qiudong, Qian Duoduo quickly packed up.
When she slowly pushed open the heavy door of the courtyard, what she saw made her heart tremble.
Outside the courtyard, there was a dense crowd of people standing, and their figures were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
She stared at the scene in front of her with eyes wide open, incredulously, secretly amazed in her heart, and turned around to ask:
"This is why everyone is here!"
“Yes, Miss.
Whether they wanted to leave or chose to stay, they all came.”
These people were either in groups of three or five, talking to each other, or alone in silent contemplation.
Everyone had a different expression on their face, but they all had one thing in common—their eyes revealed their reluctance to leave and their longing to return home.
The scene of so many people gathered together was quite spectacular, as if the whole world was filled with them.
She took a breath without leaving a trace, tried to calm her inner excitement, and gradually walked towards the door.
In previous meetings, each family or group selected a representative, and not all people were present.
Now everyone is here.
When everyone saw Qian Duoduo appear, they fell silent and stood up straight,
Then they all knelt down and kowtowed to Qian Duoduo, muttering words of gratitude.
Express my deep respect and gratitude to him.
"Get up quickly."
Qian Duoduo still stepped forward and helped the middle-aged patriarch up.
"Are there any other difficulties?"
"Thank you, sir. I don't have any trouble now. I came here today just to say goodbye to you."
They said this with gratitude on their faces, with sincerity shining in their eyes.
"That's good. If you have any questions, just ask them. I will do what I can."
Qian Duoduo held the patriarch's arm firmly to prevent him from kneeling down again.
"Miss, since there are many people leaving here, the government will send someone over to register directly at the villa. After the registration is completed, you can leave directly here and there is no need to go to the government."
Zhou She stepped forward and said.
"The place and food must be arranged so that everyone can leave after having eaten their fill."
"Yes, the little one knows."
He said gratefully:
“Thank you very much, my kind and generous host.
We are just ordinary farmers who have never seen the world in our lives, but we are so grateful for your careful care and concern!
If you have the opportunity to leave Beijing in the future, please remember to come and visit us.
This will also give us humble people the opportunity to repay your kindness."
After saying this, he bowed deeply to express his most sincere respect and gratitude.
Others also started talking at once.
"Yes, Master, you must come to visit our hometown.
Our place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, picturesque scenery, unique natural scenery and rich cultural atmosphere.
You can stroll along the mountain trails and enjoy the fresh air and tranquil atmosphere; you can also visit ancient temples and traditional villages.
In addition, our hometown has many delicious special snacks and handicrafts, allowing you to taste authentic food while appreciating the exquisite handicraft production process.
I believe that when you come here, you will be attracted by its beauty and charm, and will be left with a deep and beautiful impression! ”
"Boss, come to our place. Our hometown has everything. Remember to come to our place!!!"
"Boss, come to my hometown..."
Dongjia, come to our hometown..."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely go there if I have the chance in the future. I will ask you guys for a drink and try the local food, haha..."
"Mom, isn't there nothing left in our hometown?
I don’t want to go back. If I go back, we won’t even be able to eat. I don’t want to go back… wuwu… wuwu…”
The cry of a child broke this harmonious and beautiful moment. Everyone looked at the child and then everyone realized what was happening.
Yes, there is nothing left in my hometown. If it is really as good as they say, then why did they flee here?
The mother saw that her child seemed to have gotten into trouble, so she spanked the child.
"Let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense..."
Everyone's mood suddenly became extremely heavy, as if they were knocked to the ground by an invisible pressure.
They were originally full of joy and expectations, but at this moment, it was as if they had fallen from the clouds into a bottomless abyss, and their beautiful hopes were shattered in an instant.
People who were just immersed in joy and happiness are now in deep despair and depression.
There was an unconcealable loss in their eyes and their faces were filled with pain and sorrow.
Everyone felt discouraged, as if the whole world had lost its color and turned gray.
Because they don’t know what their hometown has become like after the famine, whether they can have enough to eat when they go back, or even whether there are still people in their families?
All these problems have emerged.
Qian Duoduo saw the concerns of these people and encouraged them:
“Everyone should trust the court and know that you have no choice but to leave your hometown.
But I still have my own officials and my own relatives in my hometown.
You were simply forced onto this path.
However, the imperial court should have also provided assistance to the disaster-stricken areas.
Therefore, everyone must work hard to return to their hometowns and work hard to make themselves and their families live a happier life than before."
Yes, they fled from famine because their families did not have much food left and the government could not provide relief food, so those of them who were in good health begged along the official road.
Most of the elderly, the weak, women and children were left behind, and food was given to them.
No one knows what will happen in the future?
Fortunately, with the assistance of the court, everyone can return to their hometowns.
How can you give up so easily?
"Yes, the boss is right. As long as we return to our hometown, everything will be fine."
Qian Duoduo nodded repeatedly to show her agreement. She didn't know whether her persuasion would be of any use.
"Okay, go to the lobby at the entrance and gather first.
Someone from the government office will come over later, and after everyone has registered, we can set off."
Under the leadership of the clan leader, everyone bowed to Qian Duoduo again.
"Thank you, boss."
Everyone's voices were loud and their expressions were sincere, which moved everyone who saw this scene.
Qian Yi and Murong Yun were also hiding outside and watching. They both felt that Qian Duoduo had indeed grown up at this time.
"Let's go, let's go eat first, and then go check out the shops. See if there are any changes that can be made, and try to open more shops as soon as possible."
After saying that, Murong Yun hooked his arm around Qian Yi's shoulder and left silently.
