Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything
Chapter 416: Deceive an old couple to go out for a walk
The Tian family's ox cart was halfway through the journey when it met other people entering the city.
Whether there are oxcarts, carriages or pedestrians on the road, they walk very carefully, as if there are nails on the road.
"Why don't you run? Did something happen?"
The Tian family all stretched their heads curiously.
So slowly, more and more cars gathered, and they were all jammed into a pile.
"Uu~uh~"
"Is it from Tianjiacun? It's our first time walking this way, so we're afraid that the road will be trampled on!"
"Yes, you have to be careful on such a smooth road!"
Although I can't recognize many people from the Qingtian family, everyone recognizes the Tian family's ox cart.
"The way you are going, you won't be able to reach Lingshui County even if you walk till tomorrow morning?"
The old village chief shook his head.
"This road is strong. You can run, but you won't break!"
Tian Tian's head was covered with black lines, and her heart felt a little sour.
"Really? We saw your ox cart passing by, why did it turn back so quickly? Why don't you go for a tour of the city?"
People in rural areas are very enthusiastic, and even if you pass by a car, you can still have a few words.
"We've all arrived at the city gate. This is home and we don't lack anything. We've gone around and come back!"
The old village chief patted the cow's bum proudly. His own cow looked like a cow!
"Shall we go faster too?"
Seeing the bullock carts in Tianjia Village running away, the pedestrians on the road felt a little itchy.
"Let's go, let's go. Everyone in Tianjiacun has been running back and forth. Let's run too!"
"Tch, do you believe what he said? The old village chief of Tianjia Village is very talkative! Can he go for a walk in the county town so quickly? I don't believe it!"
"Believe it or not, you will know after just one lap!"
The cows and horses on the road were sore from the whip of their master that they spread their hooves and began to run wildly.
"Mom! The bike frame can't bear it anymore. Slow down, run slowly..."
Cars in this era were all made of wood, with a mortise and tenon structure. The animals could run too fast, and the cars couldn't stand it.
Especially the wheel, which looked like it was about to fall apart.
"What's going on? The road is so good, why is the car not working?"
The coachmen were on the verge of crying, but cautiously, they finally ran out of the city gate.
"Good guys, it's too late to enter the city today? Don't you guys rush in every day when the city gate opens?"
The city gate official waited for a long time but no one came into the city. His eyes turned blue with anticipation. He had never been so idle since he became a city gate official.
"You don't know what you are doing. It's all caused by this road!"
"Is this road bad?"
The city gate officer was puzzled. The straight road was as far as the eye could see. It was smooth and clean. It looked good at first glance. If he hadn't been on duty, he would have run around.
"It's good, I don't know what's going on with our car. It's creaking and falling apart, but the carriage is okay!"
Unfortunately he couldn't afford a horse, let alone a carriage.
"Haha, your bullock cart must be 20 or 30 years old, right? Mushrooms are almost growing on the old wood, and you still blame the road?"
The city gate officials laughed angrily.
"I know, don't you have money to replace it? It can still be used, it can still be used!"
His oxen can't run anyway, and it doesn't matter whether the oxcart is repaired or not, there is no way it can run faster than the Tian family's oxcart.
You say they are both awesome, why is the gap so big?
The Tian family ran twice on the road excitedly, becoming more and more excited as they ran.
"It would be great if all Daqi built this kind of road. It would be much more convenient for our family to come back!"
"Isn't that right? At this rate, it will be much more convenient for our third master and several grandpas who are officials to come back!"
The Tian family has no sense of benefiting the country and the people. They only know that this road is very convenient.
"Dad, mother, I have something to discuss with you!"
Road construction must be done at night, but if the road is close to Tian Tian, Tian Tian can return to Tianjiacun during the day, but if it is too far away, it will be difficult for her to come back overnight.
"There is no need to discuss it with me and your mother. If you have anything to do, just say it!"
The old lady and Tian Quan looked at Tian Tian kindly.
"Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, I plan to take my parents out for a walk after all the roads in Lingshui County are built!"
The old couple used to work as servants in Ouyang's house. Tian Quanyou was fine, and the stewards in the outer courtyard were relatively free, but the old lady was trapped in the inner house with no chance to go out.
Later, when they entered Prince Fu's Mansion, the couple didn't even have a chance to leave.
Tian Tian wanted to take them for a walk in the Northland first and pave the roads along the way.
"Going for a walk? That's a good thing!"
"What's so good? We old and young, we can't find anyone at home to accompany us. If something happens outside..."
The old lady always thought that traveling far away was too painful, and she was in fear every day during the two years Tian Tian left.
"Don't be afraid if something happens. The Autumnal Equinox and the others are following us. We won't go too far, so we'll just take a walk in the north first!"
Tian Tian is very clear about the old lady's concerns, but she is brave and talented. She has medical skills and space, so she can ensure the safety of her parents even if something happens.
"Let Xiaotuanzi decide on this matter. We can leave whenever you say!"
Tian Quanyou guessed that this trip might be related to road construction, and Tian Tian decided to take them with him just because he was afraid that they would miss each other.
"Look at how fast we are paving the road here!"
If the weather permits, all the main roads in Lingshui County can be paved in about ten days. As for the country roads, she will have to discuss them with the captain.
"You two, don't tell anyone about our going out for a walk!"
Tian Quanyou took a long puff from his pipe, but unfortunately Tian Tian cut off his tobacco, so no matter how hard he smoked, there would be no smoke.
"Why can't you tell me?"
The old lady still wanted to explain the affairs at home properly.
Over the years, the old lady has made the final decisions for the women in Tianjia Village. If she leaves, Tianjia Village will inevitably be in chaos.
"It doesn't matter if we want to go out. If the village chief finds out, he will definitely yell to follow us. Where can he get away?"
The commander-in-chief of Tianjia Village is the old village chief. Although it is fixed how to work and who does what every day, once there is no old village chief watching from behind, the Tian family may not be able to do anything.
I know very well that among my children and grandchildren, starting from the old village chief on down, not many of them are normal, and all of them are so alive that their brains are about to pop out of their heads.
"I have long said that we should let him delegate power. Tietou and Chunlai are very good. Wouldn't it be better to leave Tianjiacun to young people?"
The old lady had long said that when one gets older, one should abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, but the old village chief just couldn't let go.
It's not that he covets that little bit of power, he just worries about his life all his life and dreams about letting the people of Tianjia Village live a good life.
Life is good enough now, right? Every family has enough food and clothing, but who has no ideas and money to keep them around?
Not to mention compared with ordinary country people, even the small businessmen and hawkers in the city may not have as much savings as the Tian family's uncle Lao Yushu.
