The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1176

[Chapter 1176 Carriage]

After waiting for a moment, a carriage stopped in front of the exchange.

“Here it comes! Here it is! It’s a penny to get on the bus! It’s a penny to get on the bus!”

The coachman shouted loudly, holding a whip in his hand.

The three horses pulling the cart in front were snoring and looked a little tired.

The next second, everyone around Jiang San crowded into the carriage, and everyone handed the coachman a penny.

Jiang San hesitated for a moment, then took out a penny from his pocket, handed it to the coachman, and squeezed into the carriage.

It has to be said that the space inside this carriage is really too narrow, with more than a dozen people crowded together, it seems extremely crowded.

Because it was winter, the carriage was covered with thick quilts, leaving only a small window for ventilation.

Even so, the air was still not circulating, making it difficult to breathe.

In addition, there was the pungent smell inside the carriage, which really made Jiang San frown.

However, he soon adapted to it.

In any case, he used to be a road construction worker, so he still had some patience.

Stayed in the carriage for some time.

He discovered a bigger problem.

The lack of air circulation, the pungent temperature, the crowding, and the noise are all bearable.

The most unbearable thing is the darkness.

It was clearly daytime, but it seemed like night inside the carriage. I couldn’t see my fingers, I could only hear a burst of noise, I didn’t even know where I was, and I couldn’t see the outside environment.

It’s like a bird locked in a cage, making people feel suffocated.

I don’t know why, but the two people next to me started arguing.

One said he was squeezing him, and the other did the same. They blamed each other and almost got into a fight.

Of course, there is no way for them to have a real fight in such a small space.

Soon the noise died down.

Jiang San closed his eyes, feeling a little depressed.

Suddenly I missed the rickshaw.

Although this rickshaw is more expensive than this horse-drawn carriage, I have to say that it is a completely different experience.

Sitting on a rickshaw, you can see the surrounding scenery changing, you can see people coming and going, you can breathe fresh air, and you can see all kinds of things in the world.

But inside this carriage, you can’t hear anything except the noise, and you can’t see anything except the sunshine from the small window.

“Hey”

Jiang San sighed involuntarily, feeling extremely emotional for a moment.

Life with money and life without money are completely different.

Who made me lose money in the exchange, and now I can only afford such a carriage, what can I do?

With this thought in mind, he stopped complaining.

The carriage walked on the road for a while and suddenly stopped again.

Then I heard another shout from the driver.

“Is there anyone! Is there anyone?”

After a while, several people crowded into the carriage.

The coachman opened the curtain again and asked: “We have arrived at Chunfeng Tower, is there anyone who wants to get off?”

Everyone was silent.

Chunfeng Tower is the most prosperous place in the south of the city and even in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Generally speaking, workers will get off the bus here only in the morning, and workers will get on the bus here at noon.

At other times, most people take rickshaws here.

“Leave if there is no one around. Don’t curse later!”

the coachman shouted again, then lowered the curtain and continued on his way.

The south of the city is not particularly far from the north, but it is not too close either.

It takes nearly an hour to walk along the way.

Stop and go during this period.

Some people got off the carriage and others got on it.

Jiang San kept his eyes closed from beginning to end.

Finally arrived at the north of the city.

The coachman shouted: “We have arrived at the Third Corner in the north of the city. Is anyone getting off?”

The Third Corner is a small alley with three corners inside and outside, so it is called the Third Corner.

This place is where Jiang San rented a mansion.

He followed the example of those before him and replied: “Yes!”

“Yes, get off the bus quickly, we still have business to do!”

the coachman said angrily.

For a coachman, time is money.

If he can save some time, he can make two more trips and earn more money.

If it had been in the past, Jiang San would have started a quarrel with others when he heard this.

However, now he feels that he has no strength at all.

He didn’t even think about quarreling anymore.

He stepped out of the carriage without saying a word.

As soon as I got off the carriage, the carriage left.

He stood there, looking at the sun that was about to set at dusk, and felt a little dazed.

For a moment, he didn’t know where he was or what he was doing.

Fortunately, this state only lasted for a short while.

He became more awake.

After taking a deep breath and patting his face, he finally came to his senses and walked into the alley.

After walking two corners, we finally arrived at a small courtyard.

Knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

“Who is it?”

came the immature voice of a little boy.

It’s his son.

“It’s dad!” Jiang San replied.

Then I heard my son shouting happily: “Mom! Dad is back!

“

The old door made a sound and opened slowly.

Jiang San’s son stood behind the door and pounced on him.

“Dad!”

Jiang San picked him up with a smile on his face: “Did you listen to your mother at home today?”

“Yes!” A smile appeared on his son’s immature face.

Jiang San asked again: “Did you study well in school today?”

“Yes!” The son took out a charcoal pen from his arms with a proud look on his face and said, “Dad, I passed all the exams this time. For seventh place in the class, the teacher rewarded me with a charcoal pen! It’s so useful!” Jiang San reached

out

and pinched his nose, and said proudly: “As expected of my Jiang San’s son, he is very promising.”

The smile was full of pride, but there was some emotion in his heart.

No matter what, fortunately, my son’s grades are high, so he doesn’t have to spend much money on studying.

Otherwise, this is another large sum of money.

In one year alone, it would cost five taels of silver, which was a large amount.

Fangxiu Academy of Arts and Sciences.

If the adults in this court were like An Guogong, they would always think of the people in everything they do.

Everyone’s life will be better.

As he was thinking this, a voice came to his ears.

“Master is back?”

He raised his eyes and saw his wife Wu standing in front of him.

Although she is only in her thirties, she looks a bit like a middle-aged woman in her forties because she lived a rough life in her hometown and had to work in the fields every day.

Jiang San looked at his wife and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, when the words in my heart came to my lips, I couldn’t say them out, and they changed again.

“It’s better not to call me master, just call me like before.”
