Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Time passed quickly, and Zhou Xinyue and her crew's boat arrived at the small ferry terminal in Sibei City.

The plaque above the ferry reads: "Sibei Town, Bazhi State."

Although the ferry is small, it is very busy, with rows of farmhands loading and unloading goods.

After Zhou Xinyue and her crew got off the boat at the ferry, three people immediately came over and asked them where they were from.

The seventh uncle and his wife hurried over, took out some change, and then talked to them for a while with a nod and a bow. After listening to them, the three people nodded and left.

Aunt Seven hurried over and said to Zhou Xinyue, "Okay, let's wait here for a while. Those people said they would go find the man named Yuan Mao right away, so let's wait here for a while."

Zhou Xinyue nodded.

After a while, a man wearing a brown and yellow triangular hat, a robe embroidered with the word "longevity" and in the style of ethnic costume came over.

This man looked very ordinary with a pair of triangular eyes, shaggy eyebrows, a flat nose and two angular mustaches.

He walked to the dock, looked around, saw his seventh uncle, and immediately put on a smiling face and trotted towards him.

Yuan Mao stretched out his hands from a distance and shouted in a very loud voice: "Welcome, welcome, fellow countryman from afar. Welcome, welcome, welcome."

Seventh Uncle hurriedly put his pipe on the belt on his back, wiped his hands on his clothes, and wanted to run over to shake hands with Yuan Mao excitedly.

"Finally I see you, Lord Yuan. I pay my respects to you, Lord Yuan."

Yuan Mao hurriedly helped his seventh uncle up and said politely, "Oh, seventh uncle, I can't bear it. I can't bear your courtesy. Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Seventh Uncle smiled and chatted with Yuan Mao for a while, then quickly got straight to the point.

"Sir Yuan, we came here to bother you this time because we wanted to fulfill the prince's last wish, you know!"

"Seventh Uncle, I understand. The prince told me about this a long time ago, and I have arranged everything. Don't worry, just follow me!"

"Thank you, Master Yuan. You've worked hard."

"It's not hard. How can it be hard? You came from far away, so you have to endure the hardship. Let's go. I have already arranged everything."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Master Yuan."

After saying this, Seventh Uncle came over and left with this group of people, following Yuan Mao.

Soon they were arranged to stay in the best inn in Sibei City, and Yuan Mao booked the inn.

After they settled down, the seventh uncle and his wife took Zhou Xinyue to the "Yuan Dacheng Mansion" for a banquet in the evening, and Fanxing stayed in the inn to take care of the children.

This Yuan Mansion is quite small and exquisite. Through the narration of her seventh aunt, Zhou Xinyue learned that Yuan Mao was originally from Longding. His father went out to do business when he was about eight years old and came to Sibei City. After communicating with the local government, he operated a ferry at the lower reaches of the Lulu River at the northwest entrance of Sibei City.

The income from the ferry is shared equally with the city lord, the government office, etc.

Yuan Mao went to school in Longding State from the age of two until he was eight, so he still has memories and nostalgia for his hometown.

Until now, he still speaks with the accent of Cangdu City, the capital of the Kingdom of Longding.

Because of doing business for many years and having contacts with Jin Yourong and his brothers, we have gradually accumulated friendships for more than ten years.

Before the accident, Jin Yourong asked him to arrange everything. Considering their friendship of more than ten years, he agreed.

At the small banquet held by Yuan Mao for Zhou Xinyue and others, everyone raised their glasses and talked happily.

Until Yuan Mao stood up and said to the sky with deep emotion and tears: "My lord, I will definitely live up to your trust."

After saying this, he wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Everyone responded, "Your Majesty, you can rest in peace now."

Everyone missed Kim Wooyoung in various ways, and the scene was very touching.

They began to tell each other about their respective connections and feelings with Kim Wooyoung.

The atmosphere became extremely sad for a while.

After a long time, Yuan Mao told everyone not to be so sad, and asked everyone to look forward and gave all kinds of comfort and soothing to their emotions.

Finally, everyone's emotions were slowly calmed down, and a group of male and female dancers from home were called over to dance to liven up the party.

Everyone gradually came out of their depressed mood and gradually got into the state.

As the music rises and falls, the dancers sometimes dance gently and sometimes passionately.

Everyone drank and enjoyed the dance.

After a long time, when everyone was enjoying the dance, Yuan Mao finally talked about the key topic with everyone.

"Everyone knows that this Sibei City is just a small city on the border of Bazhi. To put it nicely, it is a city, but to put it bluntly, it is just a dock, a larger place for people to rest, and it is not a real city at all. My father left his hometown and came here. He spent a huge price to build several docks. How much thought and effort did he put in? He worked hard and managed it. But I didn't expect that after building so many docks, they were gradually seized by others for various reasons, and gradually they could not be defended. The achievements my father made with his hard work fell into my hands, and only this dock was left. Many years ago, before my father died, he was still concerned about the docks. It was my own incompetence. I could only watch as these docks disappeared one after another. One day, I will be ashamed to see my father in the underworld after a hundred years."

After saying that, Yuan Mao took a big sip of wine in frustration.

In response to Yuan Mao's narration, everyone comforted him.

Yuan Mao then continued, "Alas, my life is getting worse year by year, so what I mean is that I don't have much surplus food in my hands to support you to complete the rest of the journey. I can't make ends meet myself, so as for your next matter, I am only responsible for matchmaking, and I may not be able to help with other matters!"

When Zhou Xinyue heard these words, she actually understood them clearly. Not only did Zhou Xinyue understand, but even her seventh uncle and his aunt-in-law understood what he meant.

He is only responsible for matchmaking, but the subsequent matters such as contacting people and spending money are still up to us.

He had been talking about his sympathy for so long and laying the groundwork for so long, and in the end he finally expressed his concerns.

Uncle Seven quickly replied: "Oh, benefactor, haha, you have helped us so much, how can we have the nerve to let you spend money on us again?"

The Seventh Uncle quickly said, "Yes, it's not easy for you. You work so hard, how can we bear to let you spend more money on us? This is not heartless, and it's not right."

Zhou Xinyue raised her glass and said, "Benefactor, my seventh uncle and aunt are right. You have helped us so much, how could Yueer bear to let you spend money for us. Benefactor, please don't worry. We absolutely cannot let you spend a little money for us. Besides, we should be grateful to you and respect you."
