"Old patriarch, are you not happy?"
The old patriarch seemed to be lost in thought. Tie Dan had to ask twice before he finally responded with a forced smile. "I am happy."
He looked around and sighed softly. "After all, this is our homeland."
When the group passed by a large courtyard, the old chief stopped in his tracks and looked inside.
The bronze door was open, and there was a screen wall behind the door. The screen wall was made of green jade, and there was a painting of a giant bird spreading its wings.
Obviously, the house was occupied. When the old patriarch looked inside, the four guards at the door saw him. They waved their hands and said, "Go away! Go away! This is the general's house, not for people like you. "
The old patriarch choked but did not say anything. He quickly walked away.
Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi were at the back of the team. When they saw the old patriarch leaving, she was lost in thought.
The so-called civilian area in the south of the city was more like a slum.
There were many small tents next to each other, and there was a pile of messy things in front of the door. The people who went in and out of the tents were all unkempt.
The soldier leading the way led the group directly into the depths of these tents. He pointed at a row of thirty tents and said, "The City Lord is merciful and has given you so many houses. You must feel grateful for the City Lord's kindness. Work hard, work hard."
Everyone agreed, and the soldier left.
Grassy looked at the small and shabby tents and pouted. "This shabby house is not as good as the one we used to live in."
Tie Niu frowned. "I suspect that I can't even straighten my back in this tent."
Someone came out of the tent next to them and heard their conversation. He laughed and said, "You should be grateful. At least there is a place for you to live. Many people in the city sleep in grass. They do not even have a roof to cover themselves."
Grassy and the others looked at each other. They passed by some remote places along the way and saw people squatting in the corner, sleeping in the grass.
"I didn't know this city was so poor," Grassy blurted out.
The man snorted. "The city is not poor. We are the poor ones."
He seemed to feel that he had said something wrong. He shook his head and went into the tent. After a while, he came out and hurried out.
Grassy could not help but ask him, "Brother, where are you going?"
"Work!"
"You're still working so late?" It was already dinner time.
That person did not even turn his head. "Of course, people like us can only sleep for six hours a day. The rest of the time, we either eat or work …"
"Where are we going to eat? Do you want to make it yourself? "Many people were hungry, and everyone wanted to try the city's delicacies.
The man finally stopped in his tracks. "You're not allowed to cook here. Only people above the rank of Hundred Household Head have the right to have a kitchen in the courtyard. Commoners like us can only eat in the canteen … Do you have Luo Hua tickets? You need Luo Hua Tickets to eat at the dining hall. "
Everyone was obviously dumbfounded. They looked at each other.
The man sighed and took out a crumpled note from his pocket. "Here, this is it. This is given by us ordinary people. You can get one every day if you work full time. "
The old patriarch took it and looked at it. It looked like a banknote, and the face value was five hundred …
"How much can this ticket buy?"
