Chapter 44 Luxury Gift Pack
Luo Jiu, Feng Qi, Cheng Yaoyao, and Datian, each drove a Laotoule, while the others jumped into the car nimbly with various weapons such as bows and arrows, wooden sticks, and machetes, and sped away.
When I got to the river, I saw no one there. Not even a single person, only a few pairs of children's straw sandals thrown on the shore.
Everyone panicked and jumped into the river to look for her, calling out anxiously, "Jia Ling!" "Little Mom!"
Feng Qi dived in and was about to go downstream when he heard someone shouting from the shore: "Hey, I'm here."
When everyone looked back, they saw Zhong Jialing carrying a bucket, followed by five children, each of whom was holding a lively big eel in their arms.
Luo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Where did you go?"
Zhong Jialing looked puzzled. "Fishing. I found some eels over there, so I took the kids over to catch them. Why are you all here?"
Feng Qi gritted his teeth in anger and pointed at the hippopotamus, "Ask him, he said you're dead."
"Him?" Zhong Jialing said, "Oh, he just came, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and he was so careless that he fell into the river before he even got to me.
Then he grabbed the paper and rolled around in the river. I was afraid he would drown, so I chased him back.
The hippopotamus nodded desperately and kept saying, "Die, die."
It was then that Luo Jiu suddenly realized that what he wanted to say was not "death", but "paper".
It's bad enough that he stutters and pronounces words incorrectly, but he also can't distinguish between flat and retroflex tongue.
Everyone rushed over in a rage, only to find out it was a misunderstanding.
Feng Qi was so angry that she was scared to the point of breaking into a sweat just now, and now she was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
She waved to the hippopotamus, "Come here, come here."
"Forget it," Luo Jiu quickly persuaded her to calm down, "He didn't mean it. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Now that we are here, let's catch fish together and go back to eat barbecue."
In modern times, a plate of eel in a yakiniku restaurant costs more than 200 yuan. Here, it's free.
We caught several buckets of eels and various river fish.
Lunch consisted of tender grilled eel, crispy and delicious fried river shrimp, spicy stir-fried river crab, and refreshing wild boar and shredded potato soup.
Even Zhong Jialing, who is very picky about food, said: "This eel tastes better than the ones we stock up on. It has a pure and natural taste without any pollution."
Luo Jiu said: "Then let's stock up some and take them back. When we have nothing to do in a few days, we can tidy up the space when we have time.
We can take out the things we don’t need and give them the things they can use, and we can also free up more space to stock up on new things.”

Time passed quickly. Twenty days later, the first batch of hatched chickens, ducks and geese came out of their shells. Although there were some bad ones, the survival rate reached 80 percent.
Finally, we successfully brought these daily edible species back to ancient times, creating them from nothing. From now on, chickens lay eggs and eggs lay chickens, and the cycle will continue endlessly. There is no need to worry anymore.
Primitive people were already able to skillfully build chicken pens, duck pens, and goose pens, and the pigs and sheep in the sheep pens and pig pens were also growing stronger and stronger.
Luo Jiu found time to develop the four great inventions in ancient times. On the day when gunpowder exploded successfully, the construction of the first batch of new houses was completed.
There are four sets of houses, one bedroom and one living room, with earthen kangs, blue brick walls and hard roofs.
The floor is made of blue bricks made by hand, and the windows are made of mixed glass that was made after countless failed attempts. It is neither transparent nor smooth.
In modern times, such a house might be ridiculed as a hodgepodge, with neither smooth tiles on the floor nor pure transparent glass for windows.
But in ancient times, this house brought together more than a dozen craft technologies that were far superior to those of today, and it condensed the hard work and sweat of everyone.
The house stood there, and people looked at it with the same admiration as modern people look at the Great Wall and the Egyptian pyramids.
On the day the house was completed, the house was crowded with people. They touched and touched everything, as if they couldn't believe it was real.
When Luo Jiu walked in, everyone respectfully made room for her and looked at her with expectation.
Luo Jiu patted everyone on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's stop working for a day tomorrow and hold a celebration meeting."
That night, the four of them prepared celebratory gifts overnight.
They poured out fifty-six cardboard boxes of the same size and put the same thing in each box, just like wedding candies. This was the luxurious surprise gift package they gave to the primitive people.
In order to maintain the mystery, all of them were prepared by the four of them themselves.
Luo Jiu checked the items on the list one by one, first took out fifty-six things to be packed, and then put them into the box one by one.
Mainly for food and drink, but also useful.
This sumptuous gift package includes a windproof lighter, a physiological hygiene book printed yesterday, a pencil, a draft book, a pair of work gloves, a towel, and one of each of the primitive people's favorite milk tea bags, Bawangchaji and Mixue Bingcheng.
A bottle of Wahaha mineral water, a bottle of Nestle coffee, a bottle of Huiyuan juice, and a bottle of AD calcium milk.
Five White Rabbit milk candies, one chocolate, one Snickers, two bags of konjac, five small breads, one box of hot and sour noodles, and two packs of instant noodles.
Cheng Yaoyao packed these things into a box, and then sadly discovered, "There's an empty box."
The feeling of receiving a full box of gifts and opening it to find it empty is completely different.
If you are going to give it, do it to the best of your ability.
Luo Jiu suddenly had an idea, "Add a bag of potato chips."
Isn't it empty? Put a pack of puffed food in it, fill it up instantly, and seal the box perfectly.
The same procedure was followed for the other fifty-five boxes, each of which was filled to the brim.
The four of them were working very hard. Datian asked outside the tent, "Second Mother, we have set up the stage under the red flag according to your request. Is there anything else to do?"
Luo Jiu: "Wait for me in the bridal chamber, I'll come out and talk to you later."
When Luo Jiu went over, Datian was holding a flashlight, humming a song, and squatting at the door of the new house, touching the bricks on the ground.
"Come, come in." Luo Jiu pushed open the door and took Datian to sit on the kang.
Luo Jiu asked: "Do you think this house is good?"
Datian: "Great, that's great, it's better than Xu Sanjia's house."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "How about letting you stay here?"
"Me?" Datian stood up in surprise, "Aren't these four houses for you to live in?"
Yes, all the primitive people thought that the first four houses built were for the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt and the youngest aunt to live in, and they never dared to think about it.
The door of the new house was not locked, but no primitive person would live in it because they all assumed that it was not for them, at least not these few houses.
Luo Jiu said: "I promised everyone that everyone would live in houses before winter.
I want to give everyone enough confidence to make them believe that we will do our best to complete this matter, so your other mothers and I have decided that we will be the last batch to move into the new house. "
Datian nodded, as if she understood something.
Luo Jiu added, "At tomorrow's celebration meeting, I will award you the title of Model Worker of the Month and give you the right to allocate these four houses. You have to decide who will live in them."
Datian was flattered and asked, "Let me distribute it?"
"Yes, how do you want to distribute it?"
Datian thought for a while and said, "Give one set to my sister-in-law, she is about to give birth.
I gave one set to my five children and let my mother live with them.
Give one set to the dwarf who is best at building walls. He is almost always the last one to leave during the period of building the house. He is very hardworking. If you and Third Aunt hadn't stopped him, he would have come to build walls every night. He even injured his hand the day before yesterday. He should live there first.
I still don’t know who I’ll give the last unit to, but anyway, it’s not me, so I’m not in a hurry to move in. I want you to be the same, and move in last.”
Luo Jiu nodded repeatedly. The candidates assigned by Datian were exactly the same as the list in Luo Jiu's mind. However, Luo Jiu did not expect that Datian himself would refuse to move in.
There are not many people in this world who can overcome their desires, unless they have beliefs and ideals that are higher than their desires.
"Very good," Luo Jiu said approvingly, "You are already thinking like a leader."
Datian looked up in surprise, "No, no, no, you are our leader."
Luo Jiu shook his head, "We will be leaving soon, to a very far place. So, I want you to sit in this seat."
Datian took a deep breath, his eyes became blank, mist quickly formed in his eyes, and he asked with trembling lips: "Are you going to die?"
