Chapter 211 Finally Arriving at the Bai Rong Brigade

Chapter 212 Finally Reached the Bai Rong Brigade

Ye Shengsong knew that it was unlikely to completely cure Xiao Tiantian, but any help, no matter how small, was good.

Xiao Tiantian seemed to understand they were talking about her, her eyes fixed on Ye Shengsong, no longer as nervous as before.

"Let's go, there are too many people."

Zi Yicheng and Ye Shengsong's outstanding appearance and attire still attracted a lot of attention. A few shifty-looking men followed them towards the sleeper carriage.

As Zi Yicheng entered the compartment, they tried to peek inside, but they overlooked Ah Can and the others standing in the aisle.

Before they could even stick their heads in, Ah Can grabbed their collars.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The man whose collar was grabbed initially wanted to resist, but seeing the muscular men surrounding him, he immediately backed down. His subordinates also quickly retreated.

"Brother, big brother, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I was just passing by."

Ah Can threw the man onto the ground.

"Scram!"

"Scram, scram, scram, I'm leaving right away."

This small interlude barely registered with the people inside the compartment. The long and stifling three days finally passed.

Xiao Tiantian and the two old gentlemen were extremely listless. Ye Shengsong was a little better, but her appetite was poor.

Stepping off the train, they were greeted by the scorching sun again. Chuncheng is in the southern part, and the temperature is always high, even in autumn, it can be over thirty degrees Celsius.

The brothers who had driven to Chuncheng were already waiting at the train station. Although they needed to keep a low profile, there were elders and children in their group, not to mention Ye Shengsong, who was treated like a treasure.

The convoy of five cars arrived at Anming County town, where Old Bai and Third Bai were waiting with two ox carts at the entrance of the country road.

"Is it Shengsong and the others who have arrived?"

"Definitely, only the Zi family kid dares to be so high-profile these days."

The car stopped right in front of the ox carts, and Zi Yicheng quickly got out to greet them.

"Uncle and third uncle, you've come to pick us up."

Uncle Bai and Third Uncle Bai had already heard from their younger sister that the Zi family kid and their niece were dating. But seeing the Zi family kid's face now, he looked so punchable.

"Hmph, where is Shengsong?"

Uncle Bai had already jumped off the cart and looked into the car window, wanting to see the Bai family's only third-generation girl.

Ye Shengsong was feeling quite carsick from the journey, her face pale as Mo Lin helped her down.

Zi Yicheng hadn't traveled in the same car as the little girl. His smiling face instantly changed when he saw her pale complexion. He hurried over and reached out to support her.

"Why do you look so bad? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Zi Yicheng had completely forgotten about the two big shots from the medical field in the car.

Ye Shengsong weakly waved her hand.

"No need, I'm just carsick. I'll be fine after a nap."

Uncle Bai and Third Uncle Bai squeezed over.

"This is Shengsong, right? How are you? Your face is too pale."

Ye Shengsong glanced to the side and a smile appeared. Clearly, the two people in front of her had the same eyes as her mother.

"Are you uncles?"

"Hahahaha, yes, I'm your Uncle Bai, and this is your Third Uncle."

"Hello, Uncle Bai, hello, Third Uncle."

"Good, good, good, Shengsong, shall we go to the hospital first?"

At this moment, Elder Fan and Elder Dang also walked over, taking Ye Shengsong's wrist to check her pulse.

"It's nothing, just heatstroke."

Elder Fan took out a heat-relief pill from his pocket and handed it to his little disciple.

"Take it quickly, and continue to take care of your health when we get back."

It had only been three days on the road, and her body had become so weak. It was due to the poor health from her childhood.

Upon hearing that Miss Ye was fine, Ah Can and the others quickly drove the cars away. These cars were to be hidden separately in Anming County and would not be driven unless absolutely necessary.

The luggage from the cars was moved onto the ox carts. Ye Shengsong also boarded an ox cart for the first time in her life. Xiao Tiantian beside her was also very curious, constantly looking at the old ox in front.

"Shengsong, Uncle brought you a straw hat, put it on quickly."

"Yes, it will take us another hour to get back to the village."

Ye Shengsong felt much better after taking the medicine, and even felt her skin burning after basking in the sun for a while.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Ye Shengsong also took out two shirts from her bag, covering Xiao Tiantian's head with one and putting the other on her arm to prevent sunburn.

Of the group, there were only two ox carts. After loading the luggage, only the two elderly men could ride in one, and the rest walked.

Ye Shengsong looked at the dry, cracked land. Even in the south, it was this dry. Not to mention other places.

"Why is it so dry here?"

Uncle Bai sighed. The whole country had been suffering from drought for two years. The south was slightly better, but this year, it hadn't rained for two months.

"The village is okay. Everyone uses water from the river for irrigation, otherwise, the rice paddies would be without water."

As they got closer to the village, they saw the lush greenery, which made them feel a little better. If there was no harvest here, how could the whole country survive?

They could plant two crops of rice here, and with corn, sweet potatoes, and sorghum, they wouldn't starve. However, due to the nationwide drought in the past two years, the entire south had been vigorously promoting planting to solve the national drought problem.

"Our brigade is doing alright. As long as we're willing to work, we can eat our fill."

Ye Shengsong wondered if she would also have to work in the fields, but looking at her hands and her small frame, she decided against it.

Zi Yicheng kept looking at the little girl and knew what she was thinking from her actions.

"Don't worry, working in the fields for work points isn't mandatory. We can just say you're not feeling well."

"Exactly, we have so many men in our family, we don't need women to work in the fields."

Third Uncle Bai said this with great pride. If the Bai family women, who were currently suffering from sunburn in the fields, heard this, they would surely slap him. What had they been reduced to?

Ye Mu En looked at the thin frame of the Bai family uncle and didn't believe his words. The labor force still relied on them.

The seven people who came down to the countryside with Zi Yicheng were: Ah Can, Ah Ming, Ah Long, Ah Liang, Ah Hong, Wei Liu, and Wei Jiu.

As for Ouyang, who had yet to arrive, it was out of the question. He had always been a secretary, not even as capable as his boss.

The ox carts arrived at the village. This time, Uncle Bai did not take the small path, wanting the villagers to know that new people had arrived.

Ye Mama, who was working in the fields, saw her daughter on the cart immediately and threw down her hoe, letting out a cry and running over.

The other members of the Bai family also ran from the fields towards the road, all eager to meet Ye Shengsong, whom they had never met before.

The villagers who were all working in the fields also craned their necks to watch the spectacle.

"What are you all doing? Do you want your work points deducted?"

"Team leader, have new people arrived?"

"Yes, has our new house got a new owner?"

"I think those young men beside the ox cart look quite strong, they must be good workers."

"Hahaha, what's wrong Chunhua, looking for a partner for your daughter?"

"......"

The team leader's forehead twitched, and he threw his hoe on the ground, roaring.

"Scorekeeper, deduct one point from all these old women."
