Chapter 318 There is light in their eyes (first update, please subscribe)
Sometimes there are some questions that don’t need to be asked.
You only need to see her eyes to know the answer!
Because there is light in her eyes, that light is happiness, joy, and difficult to hide...
After everything is confirmed, what will happen next? Sample?
No one knows.
But the plan to restore Margaret's true identity is moving forward bit by bit. According to Li Yian's plan, it was promoted there.
And all of this is unknown.
On the day after Lady Mountbatten arrived in Chang'an, a huge ship finally arrived in the South China Sea - Kota Kinabalu, which has been renamed Nanhai County.
The arrival of this giant ship also brought unprecedented shock to people.
It’s not that people here haven’t seen giant ships. As a port, large merchant ships such as Liberty Ship and Victory Ship once docked on the two piers that go deep into the sea.
But those merchant ships are only about 10,000 tons.
And now the "Borneo" is a giant ship of more than 83,000 tons!
It is even the largest cruise ship in human history!
And it belongs to Nanyang!
Suddenly, the beach of the South China Sea was filled with people watching.
People crowded onto the beach and the port, watching the ship. The shore was crowded with people, and the ship was also crowded with people.
More than 50,000 immigrants have been waiting for this moment for the past three days, and now, they have finally arrived!
“This is Borneo!”
The people on the deck looked at the land curiously. They know they will be working here for the next ten years.
Their contract duration is ten years.
Of course, ten years is just an agreed time.
In Li Yi'an's view, in ten years there will be few people who will abandon their homes and careers and abandon their stable and happy life in Nanyang.
After all, at that time, they already had a home, their wives and children, and a stable life.
According to the arrangement, these immigrants will first undergo isolation training for half a month, and through simple literacy and tests, factory workers and farm workers will be screened out. The former will be sent to factories, while the latter will go to reclamation sites to open up rainforests or work in plantations.
However, the immigrants on the Borneo knew nothing about all this. Now, they only had one thought in their minds - to get to the shore.
“Oh my God, I can finally go ashore!”
Lin Dahu, who was born in northern Anhui, has never been on a boat a few times in his life. He has never been on a boat since he was born until this year. He had been to places farther than the town until this year when he went to pick salt in northern Jiangsu with his fellow villagers. After hearing that he could earn several hundred yuan a month here, he followed up with his fellow villager Lin Daozhe to apply to join. migrant.
The reason why he took the initiative to apply was the same as coming out to pick up salt. Because there were too many people in his family. There were five brothers and they had never had enough to eat on the more than ten acres of land.
Actually, while he was in the town, he heard about a company that came to the county to recruit immigrants to Borneo, where they could earn hundreds of dollars a month.
At that time, no one believed it.
“A few hundred yuan a month, you’re a liar!”
But when he arrived in northern Jiangsu, he saw a long line of people, and everyone had received their settlement allowance. , he was moved.
The settlement fee of 1,000 yuan was enough for the second and third sons to find wives, so as soon as I got excited, I signed the contract with my cousins, received the settlement fee, and asked the villagers to come out to pick up the salt. He took it home, and after waiting for two days, he boarded the giant ship.
When he got on the boat, he found that it was crowded with people, including people from Lu Province, Yu Province, Su Province, and Anhui Province, and most of them were bringing their families with them. of. Many people directly use the settlement fee to buy a daughter-in-law nearby. Because the couple can earn more wages.
In this way, like everyone else, the three of them took turns sleeping in a bunk. After three days of sailing, they finally arrived in Borneo.
“Brother, we really should have used the settlement money to buy a wife. I can get 2 more yuan!" Once again, Lin Daozhe regretted why he didn't spend money to buy a daughter-in-law, he could make more money!
"It's okay, it's okay. Once you make money, you still have to worry about not having a woman!"
While speaking, looking at the land, Lin Dahu's eyes were full of expectation. , and the same is generally true for other people.
Although there were more than a dozen gangways, it still took a whole day and night for more than 50,000 people to disembark. Late that night, Lin Dahu, like others, was taken to the resettlement camp in a truck. Although it was only a small room Although there were only a few bunk beds in the dormitory, when he looked at and touched the beds, he was almost crazy with joy.
“Finally I have my own bed...”
Twenty-year-old Lin Dahu has never had his own bed, but only shares a bed with his brothers.
"Not to mention a bed, if you come with your wife, you can even get a couple's room!" Fang Jinglin next to him said in an envious tone.
"Where...the couple's room is over there, look, look, the lights are out, the lights are out..."
What are you doing when the lights are out?
Everyone knows that in the next fifteen days, Lin Dahu and the others will stay here, reading and writing during the day, and doing simple queue drills - this is the tradition of the labor camp, for more convenience implement militarized management of workers.
But after the cultural class after dinner, there is nothing else. What else can people do when they return to their rooms?
Of course a bachelor like Lin Dahu is chatting. God, I'm bragging. As for the couple's room where there are only two couples, of course they can live their little life. With a comfortable environment, sufficient nutrition, and a future they can imagine, I don't know how many couples are still in the camp. , and began to work hard to create humans.
Of course, it doesn’t stop them from thinking about the future there,
"Twelve yuan a month..."
In the dark room, the sweaty man stared at the ceiling and muttered to himself.
“I am twelve, eight yuan, 20 yuan a month. Even after deducting food expenses, there are still more than ten yuan left a month! That’s more than a hundred yuan a year...”< br>
"Master, do you think this day will be like this every day in the future?"
The woman with her head resting on the man's arm is not thinking about money, but about life.
"Three meals of rice a day. Not only do you have enough to eat, but you can also eat meat at noon. When my mother married me to you, she only wanted to exchange 800 yuan so that the whole family would not go hungry. I wanted to eat Serving the meal, even if she burned a lot of incense in her last life..."
The woman leaned her head hard against the man's chest, wishing she could shrink into the man's arms, talking about the days.
“But now, my life is like a dream. I can have enough to eat every day. I don’t know if I can live like this every day.”
“You are stupid. Mother-in-law, I just want to eat when I see the sky... This life will definitely go on. Didn't you listen to the instructor? This is the president's care of us! With so much money, we have met a good person... ..."
"What? Isn't the president stupid? He feeds us so well, so he's not afraid of making our mouths taste bad. I think the fish is a bit fishy..."
After hearing what his mother-in-law said, the angry man slapped his mother-in-law on the butt:
"You are stupid! This is the president taking care of us compatriots. Silly woman, our family has a good life." Here it comes.”
“I’m not stupid,”
The woman buried her head in the man’s chest and said.
"I just don't believe that all this is true. After all, no one has ever been so kind to us. Do you think he is stupid?"
When the woman was speaking, her face was full of smiles, and the light bursting out of her eyes was difficult to conceal even in the darkness.
When a man listens to this woman's words, there is also light in his eyes. That kind of light cannot be concealed by darkness. He can penetrate the darkness and everything.
The man smiled and said.
"We are blessed, blessed..."
When the couple was talking, their eyes were full of light...
