Chapter 259.2
Meanwhile, far away in the Great Hong Dynasty, Old Zhao had also returned home for the New Year.
More than two months ago, he had no choice but to go to Great Xia to make a living on his own due to the snowy and icy conditions that made it impossible to go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt, and with the food supply tight due to a rats infestation.
His wife was overjoyed to see him back: I thought you wouldnt be coming back this year!
How could I not come back for such an important holiday!
Old Zhao put down his heavy bundle, took off his hat, exhaled a breath of warm air, rubbed his hands together, and shivered a bit as he said, Its still as cold as ever here!
Isnt it cold in Great Xia? his wife asked.
Old Zhao shook his head: To tell you the truth, its not cold at all. Theres no snow and no wind! Over there, I felt hot wearing just one cotton-padded jacket! Here, Im wearing three layers and still freezing like hell!
You came back so quickly. Does that mean you didnt find any work and didnt make any money? his wife asked worriedly.
Due to various reasons, their family had neither money nor food.
If Old Zhao hadnt made any money either, then they would be in for a tough year.
Old Zhao burst into laughter: You guessed wrong this time, Ive brought back quite a bit of money!
His wifes eyes lit up: How much? Show me quickly!
Take a look! Old Zhao opened his bundle and pulled out a full bag of copper coins.
His wife immediately snatched it to count, and after a while, she exclaimed in surprise: Theres actually 500 wen! You were only gone for two months and youve earned so much!
Thats not all. Look what else I have here
Old Zhao took out a small bag of rice from his bundle, about 20 jin.
There were also some noodles, about 4 jin.
Plus, there were some dried goods, roughly two jin.
So wonderful? Could this be the legendary Celestial Empire?
Thinking about the life they led in Great Hong, it was incomparable.
Ive made up my mind now!
Old Zhao said, spitting with excitement: After this New Year, Ill go back and continue to work, earn more money, and give you three a better life!
Just do your best, no need to overdo it! After all, the three of us depend on you for support!
While sewing clothes, his wife sighed: Imagine if we were citizens of Great Xia! Then you wouldnt have to leave home to make money. I could earn money too, and the children would have the chance to go to school
Yes, if only we were citizens of Great Xia! Old Zhao murmured while eating.
Only those who have been to Great Xia know how wonderful it is and how happy its people are.
As long as youre willing to work, you can live the life you desire.
Unlike here, where hope is unseen in a lifetime.
At this time, many Great Hong people who had left their hometowns returned. They brought not only money and food but also news about the situation in Great Xia, which they shared with their friends and family.
A dream began to take root in everyones hearts.
How wonderful it would be to become the common people of Great Xia!
