Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Chapter 177: Road Construction (6)

In the carriage, Zhu Yingying clung tightly to her sister Zhu Qingqing, her pretty face brimming with excitement and joy. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Sister, this is great! We can finally go home again!"

Zhu Qingqing tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on her sister's delighted face. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, but she couldn't help but tease her sister: "Hey, you didn't say that before. I remember that time you were always reluctant to go home, and would rather live alone in the small apartment outside and be free and easy."

Zhu Yingying's face flushed instantly when her sister said that, and she quickly explained, "Oh, sister, that's not true! I just don't want to listen to mom's endless nagging all day long. But now the situation is different. I find that home is really great, full of warmth and warmth."

Zhu Qingqing: "Of course, home is the only warm harbor. Especially compared to here. You don't have to worry about not having certain things anymore."

Zhu Yingying knew what her sister was talking about.

She ignored her sister's teasing.

"Who doesn't want to have a comfortable life? It's a pity... Alas, I can't go back to that apartment now. There are still a lot of my personal belongings in it. Besides, the lease of that house is about to expire. I don't know if the landlord can't find me and will just throw my things away because he doesn't want to bother." As she spoke, Zhu Yingying couldn't help but frown, looking worried.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingqing hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Don't worry about such a small matter. After we go back, ask Lin Jinyuan to go and get all those things back for you, and return the house by the way." Hearing her sister's thoughtful arrangement, Zhu Yingying nodded with relief, indicating that she fully agreed with this solution.

At this moment, Zhu Qingqing seemed to have remembered something important. Her tone became serious and she said to Zhu Yingying earnestly, "Oh, little sister, there's something else I need to tell you in advance. Mom has recently taken on several expectant mothers who need care. As her daughter, we have to go over and help out."

Zhu Yingying blinked and responded obediently: "Yeah, I got it, sister. How about this? I will help you take care of the pregnant women during the day, and then go home to rest at night, okay?" Zhu Qingqing smiled and nodded, indicating that she agreed with her sister's suggestion.

Zhu Qingqing glanced at Wu Di, who was silent, and asked, "Didi, why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"

Wu Di: “I didn’t think much of anything.”

Zhu Yingying: "I see you don't seem very happy. What's wrong? Isn't it good to be able to go home?"

Wu Di: "The excitement has passed. I'm not like you. I need to stay calm, okay, auntie."

"Hey, you little brat, you're teaching me a lesson."

Zhu Yingying gave her a slap in the face.

Wu Di quickly hid behind his mother.

Laughter came from the carriage.

The coachman also laughed, whipped his whip and urged the horse to go faster.

The carriage soon arrived at the city gate. Zhu Qingqing and the others saw many people gathered at the city gate, and two long queues were formed.

When the gatekeeper saw that it was a carriage from the Yang family warehouse, he did not stop it and let it pass straight through.

Zhu Yingying: "So many people are coming into the city. Is this the market today?"

Zhu Qingqing: "I don't know."

As the flood receded, many villagers who were not affected by the disaster came into the city. Some of them came to buy and sell things, and some came to find work.

They heard that the destroyed villages had to be rebuilt, which would require a large amount of labor, and that masons and carpenters would be useful.

I also heard that Yangjia Goods Station was recruiting people to build the road, providing food and accommodation and a daily salary of ten cents.

So those farmers who had some free time and no skills came to the city. Although they could not build houses, they were still very enthusiastic about building roads and digging mud.
