Chapter 112 The First Snow Has Arrived
The Dali Temple has been very busy these days. They have been guarding during the day and at night, but no one has come to take the supplies. Gu Qingyun has always suspected that there are other exits or entrances, otherwise why has no one entered?
But there were still some things inside, so he felt that this suspicion was not right.
In November, it gets dark very early, and with the temperature dropping over the past few days, it feels like a heavy snow is going to fall.
Gu Qingyun suspected that someone would come to take the supplies when it snowed heavily. When the snow was heavy, people's footprints would easily disappear in the snow, and as long as no one was waiting, they could easily take the things away.
The case lasted from autumn to winter, and the parents of the lost children kept coming to the house to make a fuss, but there was still no result.
Only the little girl who was taken away by the rich businessman and her family were detained in the Kyoto government office, which was under the charge of the Kyoto government office.
Gu Qingyun recalled what the governor of Kyoto said the day before, "It is said that after the girl was sold, she cried and made a scene, but the parents treated her as their own daughter and did not get angry. Instead, they gave the little girl mountains of gold and silver.
After being interrogated for several days, the wealthy businessman confessed that he and his wife had a little daughter who looked 8% like this girl, but died before she was 3 years old.
They have been wanting to have another child for many years, but after giving birth to three sons, they still haven't given birth to a girl.
Change the crooked idea.
Someone recommended that I buy one.
It just so happened that there was some goods to be shipped to Kyoto Prefecture, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the man really let them choose the girls as agreed.
The couple was overjoyed and ended up spending 500 taels to buy the girl.
When choosing a girl that day, the two were blindfolded and took a carriage to the place. At first, the rich businessman was unwilling, so the man said that he could not choose.
Finally, two guards were allowed to sit in another carriage, but they also had to cover their ears and eyes.
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the place. There were twenty or thirty girls inside, all sitting in the corner and shivering. They looked really pitiful.
But when he thought that he was also here to buy and sell them, he could only suppress the humanity in his heart.
After choosing and choosing, I found a girl who looks 8% like my daughter. If my daughter grows up, she should look like this.
With this mentality, I chose that girl.
Unexpectedly, the rich businessman raised the price when he saw how much he liked the girl. The man had no choice but to spend 500 taels to buy the girl and take her away.
As for the fate of the other children, they had no idea.
After the girl was bought, the owner gave her her daughter's previous name when she returned home and provided her with good food and drink. The girl was very defensive at first.
But the rich businessman and his wife kept telling the girl that they were her real parents, and the girl believed it unconsciously.
But who would have thought that after such a long time, it would still be discovered.”
"The girl is mentally disturbed now. She looks for her parents every day after returning home. When she sees her biological parents, she feels familiar with them. She makes a fuss every day and has no peace." Zhao Huaiqing sighed.
"What a sin, such a young child. What should we do?" Xinhai couldn't help but ask.
"It is said that the two families are now preparing to recognize each other as relatives. One side is the godfather and godmother, and the other side is the biological parents. They will live in both sides and enjoy the privileges of both families. After all, both are good families and they are not short of food and drink. In the future, the girl will have parents from both sides to arrange a marriage for her, which can be considered a blessing in disguise." Gu Qingyun looked at the door of the restaurant, and finally sighed and said before turning away.
"It's good that we can find them back. I don't know where the other children were sold to." Wu Huan always carried the children's portraits in his pocket. After such a long time, he only found two. He didn't know where the other children were.
When Xinhai saw that his Shaoqing had left, he followed him. Zhao Huaiqing and Wuhuan also returned home in the dark.
I thought the snow would fall in a few days, but it started falling in the second half of the night.
Although it was not heavy, it was the first snow. An Qiao was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and could only curl up into a ball. As a result, she could not fall asleep in the morning and was still very cold.
"Why did it snow so early this year?" An Qiao shivered as she put on thick clothes.
In previous years, the first snow usually fell in December, but this year it was unusually early.
An Qiao didn't dare to think too much. She had experienced a lot of extreme weather in modern times, including blizzards, droughts, extreme cold, freezing rain... countless.
If there is a snowstorm this year, places with rivers will be prone to floods in the early spring of next year, and places without rivers will be prone to drought.
Although she didn't know what she would experience or whether the things she worried about would come true, An Qiao still wanted to build the yard early so that she could at least get through the winter.
The helpers came trembling, and An Qiao followed Lichun to the next door.
"Thank you all for your hard work. From today on, please work faster. I see it is snowing heavily. If it snows every day, it will definitely delay the construction of this yard. I have to finish building the house here before winter. I really can't accommodate so many people over there. From today on, I will give you an extra 20 cents per person per day. The faster you work, the better. I will give you more meat and vegetables. Thank you, uncles and aunts." An Qiao looked at everyone and said sincerely.
In fact, everyone was worried about the snow, so An Qiao stopped them from working. But when they heard that they were not only paid more but also asked to continue working, how could they be unwilling?
In this way, they work faster, can go home earlier, and still get paid the same amount.
"Okay, young lady, we must quickly and properly build this yard. I was also very worried when I saw the snow, but fortunately, young lady is very considerate." An uncle who led the group said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it. If anyone is lazy, I will not forgive him."
They almost all came from the same village, and An Qiao saw this clearly at the time.
Everyone picked up their tools and started working. In fact, the courtyard at the back and the dormitory on one side had already been built. An Qiao asked people to build these first, thinking that she could do business next door, but if this part was not built, everyone would be cold in winter.
Below is the front building and the stage. As long as this part is built, the two sides can be connected. The workload can be large or small.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lichun. You keep an eye on this. Work as fast as you can. I'll go over there and make some more meat and vegetables and send them over. Speed is one thing, but you can't cut corners. Safety is also important." An Qiao instructed.
Lichun nodded and looked at the blueprint in his hand. "Young lady, when will the wall be built?"
"After that building is completed, it will be almost ready for construction. The dormitory has been built now. Although I can't provide everyone with a set of wooden furniture, I have found the best bamboo weaving masters to make the cabinets, and the tables are also made of the best bamboo. After the building is completed, it will be ready, and I will have everyone move in. I will go to the furniture masters again in the afternoon, and if the furniture is ready, I will ask people to move it back tomorrow." An Qiao said, looking at the bustling scene.
"Okay, Lichun understands." Lichun nodded and turned to go to the construction site.
