"By the way, Qing'er, there's something I want to ask you for advice." Xiaoqin said suddenly.

"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiaoqin said: "Have Damo mentioned to you that you want to quit your job as a schoolteacher and join the transportation team?"

Yang Ruoqing looked confused and shook her head: "I never mentioned it, so why does he still have such plans? Isn't the job in the school quite easy? I go there early and come back late every day."

Xiaoqin said: "We all know that you are taking care of us, so you arranged that job for him, but Damo looked at me and said that he wanted to go out with the transportation team to deliver goods and make money."

Yang Ruoqing said: "The transportation team does make more money than attending a school, but the transportation team is hard work."

"Take this trip to where they want to escort the goods. This trip is to Lingbi County, the northernmost part of Changhuai Prefecture, which borders Helanzhou."

"After the Lantern Festival, we will set off on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. We will come back again and again. We will not be able to return to the village until the end of February."

"It's only been a few months since I left. Is it okay for you to be a pregnant woman at home with two daughters?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiaoqin smiled and said: "I'm actually not that delicate. When I was pregnant with the first two girls, I did all the laundry, cooking, weeding, and vegetable gardening. I didn't do anything?"

"It's because Damo cares about me that he supports me like this. I can do it alone, but I'm worried about him..."

"The last time the transportation team escorted the goods years ago, what happened in Baidi Valley, I am afraid when I think about it, I dare not ask him to go to the transportation team..."

Hearing Xiaoqin's words, Yang Ruoqing also smiled a little awkwardly.

"To be honest, since the last trip back to Baidi Valley, there were originally a stable group of twenty families in the transport team," she said.

"Since the incident at Baidi Valley, seven or eight families have quit the transport team for various reasons."

"On this trip to Lingbi County to deliver goods, the remaining fifteen or sixteen families are enough. But if we go further, we will be short of manpower."

"So, I plan to start recruiting new team members after sending away the transport team." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoqin stretched out her hand to hold Yang Ruoqing's hand and said: "Qing'er, don't be sad if those people retreat. People often have selfish motives in the face of life and death, including me. I don't trust everyone.

Grind it away!"

"I was a widow once, and now I'm about to have three children. I can't live without Da Mo anymore."

"I can't help you with the transportation team, but with regard to other matters, as for the school, as long as you give an order to Qing'er, Damo and I will be on call!"

Looking at Xiaoqin's sincere and apologetic face, Yang Ruoqing curled her lips.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqin. In fact, even if you let Damo go to the transportation team, I won't agree." Yang Ruoqing said.

"First of all, it's because your family can't live without him. The man in the family has been away from home for a long time and can't take care of him."

"Secondly, Brother Damo is already in his late twenties and almost thirty. Apart from his strength, he has almost no other means of getting around him."

"To put it bluntly, he does not meet the recruitment standards of the transportation team. Even if he has no skills, the transportation team can train him,"

"But they must be young people between sixteen and twenty-two, because the transportation team is a physical job."

"Uncle Chang Geng and Uncle Daniu are the oldest in the transportation team. The reason why they are still here is because they have rich experience and are in good health."

"When Baozhu Yuzhu and my sister Lan'er's husband, Brother Ahao, can fully support the transport team, Uncle Chang Gen and Uncle Daniu will return to the village."

After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said about the strict standards for recruiting members to the transportation team, Xiaoqin felt a little embarrassed.

"After hearing this, Damo really doesn't meet the conditions, haha..."

She laughed twice and said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, if Brother Damo really doesn't want to work in the school and feels that the money he earns from leisurely work is not enough to support the whole family, then you can let him try on the herb collection team."

"Xiaoqin, you yourself have been in the herb collection team. You know that the herb collection team has stricter requirements."

"You must learn to identify every kind of medicine that Fu Bo teaches, and you can't make any mistakes when picking it. Otherwise, the life-saving medicine will become a murderous poison!"

Seeing Yang Ruoqing's serious look, Xiaoqin also had a serious look on her face.

"Okay, when he comes home, I will explain this matter to him in detail. If he can learn to identify herbs, let him go,"

"If that doesn't work, then guard the school honestly."

"When I give birth to the child, I will go on to the herb collection team and plant two acres of land at home, and I will be able to live a better life."

"Besides, this is a good job in the school. I don't know how many people care about it. Thank you, Qing'er, for always taking care of us like this." Xiaoqin said again.

I feel a little guilty for some of my previous words.

It's also Yang Ruoqing who has a good heart and has a deep friendship with Brother Damo. Otherwise, her behavior is really a bit unsatisfactory.

Yang Ruoqing naturally knew what Xiaoqin was worried about. She smiled generously and said, "Don't worry about yourself and blame yourself. Everyone has selfish motives and wants to be better."

"You want this family to live a better life, and Brother Damo also wants to make this family live a better life,"

"But sometimes there is money in front of you, but you may not be able to earn it. You can eat as much as you want. Don't be too anxious. Just let everything take its course." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoqin forced out a smile and nodded.

The two of them casually exchanged a few words. Yang Ruoqing was thinking about home, so she stood up and left.

After walking out of Xiaoqin's house, Yang Ruoqing felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After the transport team encountered river bandits on their last trip to Baidi Valley, the number of seven or eight family members in the transport team quickly dropped sharply.

From a rational perspective, Yang Ruoqing could understand the thoughts of the seven or eight family members.

Compared with money, life is more important. If your life is gone, what do you need money for?

Keep your life alive, find another job, or go home and pick up a hoe to farm, earn enough food and clothing, and stay together as a family.

However, from an emotional standpoint, Yang Ruoqing still felt a little unhappy.

In the past, the transport team traveled far and wide without encountering any difficult problems. They would be away from home for a month or two, and the longest time was more than three months.

She was responsible for all the food, drink, and accommodation along the way.

When they come back, everyone will get a salary that makes the villagers jealous.

So when the transport team is at ease, there are a lot of people trying to squeeze into the transport team. After carefully selecting the team members, it takes a certain amount of manpower and material resources to train.

After everything was done, a team of twenty people was assembled.

After leaving Baidi Valley, nearly 40% of the people left at once.

Moreover, these 40% of people didn’t ask to quit a year ago. It was when she issued a notice saying that they would escort the goods to Lingbi County on the 18th of the first lunar month that they came over to find various excuses to ask to quit...

It's only been three days. They gave her three days. Where can she find seven or eight family members to fill this hole?
