Dragging his exhausted body, Zhao Liang finally arrived at the room on the boat. Others ate three big bowls, but what about him? Even three sips were exempted…It was really embarrassing. Look at those skinny villagers. They had done so much work, but they were still so energetic in the end. Look at himself. He usually said that he had to maintain nutrition and develop in an all-round way. Once he arrived at the scene, he immediately showed his true colors! Who said that life was in motion? That's right... I really lacked training in this aspect in the past! In order to maintain his vitality, he had to strengthen…Strengthened…Well, now…I'll sleep for a while…I'm really too tired…

Such a big event, regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone was alarmed.

Wang Genbao was also very tired today. His ferry became a transport ship in the end, and it didn't stop for a single round trip! How many times in total? He probably couldn't count them all because he was too tired. Then, the Self-Defense Forces 'boats were also helping him. At first, he wanted to compete with the other party's boats in speed! In the end, he was rowing the boat mechanically! Transport those materials across the river and send them to the people who need them!

When he dragged his body home, he really suspected that he had gone to the wrong door. Then he went in and out again, making his wife look at him a little strange.

"Husband! What's wrong with you? Did anything happen outside?"

"No! No! I just don't believe that this is my home! Wifey, you've worked too hard! Even if you want to clean the house, wait for me to do it together.”

"I didn't work hard! I helped boil the water! These were all cleaned by the team leader and his men. They said that they couldn't forget every corner! Moreover, you said that you were transporting things on the river and didn't have time to come back. You're helping everyone, so everyone should help you! Now, all the houses in the village had been cleaned! The road outside had been leveled! It's much easier to walk!"

Speaking of the road, Wang Genbao suddenly realized that his journey home today was indeed smooth. He didn't step into a pit at all. It turned out that the road had been leveled. Now, he couldn't find a pit even if he wanted to! Also, when did everyone become so united? Suddenly, a strange smell wafted into his nose, and he couldn't help but sneeze!

"Husband, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but why is the smell so pungent…"

Suddenly, he realized that his waiter's face was a little red. The smell seemed to be coming from there. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"It seems to be coming from your body? It smells like a faint sandalwood flower fragrance…"

"En! I used…He used the "fragrant soap" that those people gave him! It smelled so good! Look, this is it!"

Following Bao watched as the waiter took out a small package from the crate, and then took out a greenish plaster-like thing. Then, a strong smell rushed over…" Achoo!" "Achoo!" "Achoo!"

Bao Lian sneezed a few times before stopping!

"It smells so good!"

"There are two groups of women in our village who each have a piece! He said that we would be rewarded after we completed a lot and well! And you can choose the taste yourself! I picked this one! Do you like it?"

"Of course I like it! And wasn't this your favorite? I haven't smelled it for a long time! He was not used to it just now. But why didn't the ones we used by the river smell like this?”

"Have you used this before?"

"Everyone used it by the river! When they posted it, they also said that it was soap... Oh... I know, we're missing the word 'fragrance'! No wonder it doesn't smell as good as yours!”

"Do you think these people are really that smart?! Why do you know how to do everything?"

"You're right! These people were indeed smart! And there's one big thing you didn't mention! That was to sincerely care for the people! So I've always suspected that there would be such a person in this world? But now, I believe it! And it wasn't just one! It was a group! It was them! These people are right beside us!"

"That's right! I was so happy that I didn't think of this…Oh no! Hurry up and eat! You're going to be starving…Xiaolin is so crazy that he doesn't want to miss home again…"

If the Wang Clan was talking about these things, then Chen Dongbiao and his brothers were also talking about these things! In less than a day, these outsiders had shocked them to a degree that exceeded all their experience!

After dinner, these men who were said to be energetic by Zhao Liang came to the mud wall together. The day's labor did not make them feel particularly tired. Instead, it made them feel more energetic!

Each of these men had a palm-leaf fan. They were half-naked, wearing a pair of big shorts and dragging wooden shoes. Some of them were holding small stools, some were holding reclining chairs, and a few of them were dragging a few long stools along with a door. They were enjoying the cold by the earthen wall.

In the bay not far from the shore, the bright lights of the boats attracted their eyes and attracted their conversation.

"Here! Brother Chen! Smoke a cigarette!"

"This cigarette isn't even as fragrant as dry tobacco! I don't like it…"

"What do you know? Instructor Zhang told me about it when he gave it to me! It's not good to smoke too much, especially the elephant tobacco! There was no filtering at all. Everything was sucked into his lungs! It was harmful to his health! Even if they wanted to suck it, they should have done some protection. That was why they gave them things with mouths!”

"Hey! I say, Fourth Bro, it hasn't even been a day, and you're so good at what you're saying?!”

"Haha, Director Zhang said that this is called culture and knowledge! Do you understand?"

"You? Knowledge and culture! When will you come back from the imperial examination?”

"I don't want to think about the Juren. However, Instructor Zhang said that in the future, we have to learn how to read, how to count, and how to keep accounts…"

"Fourth Bro, keep bragging…Even if you learn, aren't you still carrying bags on the dock? Besides, can you learn it?"

"Ah Yuan, I don't dare to speak for others, but I'll definitely learn faster than you!”

"Alright, alright, alright. Even if you're better than me, what's the use? Do you know how to do these things? Even if you knew how to do it, wouldn't the company that Boss Yu and the others opened have done it first?!”

Fourth Brother looked at the person who spoke with disdain.

"Why don't you learn? How can they finish it? Do you know what Instructor Zhang told me? Everyone saw the lights on the boat…That lamp, that instructor Zhang had said that it couldn't be made without more than ten factories! Glass factory, wire drawing factory, mold factory, blowing factory, lamp holder factory, insulation material factory…"

Chen Dongbiao didn't wait for the fourth brother to finish speaking. He interrupted him as if he didn't know him,

"Hey, Fourth Bro! What do you mean by that? Your brain is filled with so many things in just one day? Why didn't I realize that you were this smart?”

The fourth brother scratched his head in embarrassment."

"Hehe, Brother Chen! I saw this light last night and really liked it, so I remembered what the guide said.”

Old Si's eyes suddenly revealed a look of anticipation."

"I was thinking, if I had this lamp in my house! Then wouldn't it be convenient for me to do anything at night? Also, I have to let my child learn more! He can't be like me, only knowing how to put in effort. I have to make him successful! Earn big money! With the lights in the house, he could learn more at night! Moreover, if every household had lights, how much more could they do?”

The people who were listening at the side looked at him in surprise. They did not expect that their fourth brother, who usually worked hard like them, would have such a long-term goal in such a short period of time! Thinking about himself, he felt that the gap between them had widened…

After a moment of silence, someone finally said emotionally,"

"Knowledge really changes life! These words are not wrong at all..."

Everyone was shocked again.

" You know these too…?"

Chen Dongbiao looked at his brothers with a little dissatisfaction.

"Haven't you heard of it? Instructor Zhang said this when he first arrived. I remember that everyone was present at the time, right?”

Everyone laughed awkwardly, making Chen Dongbiao even more dissatisfied.

"Don't think I don't know. You're jealous of Fourth Brother just because he's improved, right? I think we should learn from Fourth Brother! A bunch of useless things…If we continue to laze around like this, sooner or later, there will be nothing for us to eat and drink here! Remember all of them. In the future, learn something new from these instructors every day!”

Everyone nodded in agreement. A Yuan said with a depressed expression,

"Brother Chen, you know how dumb I am. I... I... I really can't remember…"

Everyone looked at their brother sympathetically, but no one dared to plead for him at this time…

Chen Dongbiao thought about it and had a look of sympathy.

"Brother A Yuan! Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, as your big brother, I will definitely not ignore you! If there's food for me, there's food for you! Who asked us to be brothers?"

At this moment, the fourth brother also came over to comfort him.

"Brother A Yuan! I heard from the instructor that you also have your strengths. That is absolute loyalty, and you are the most disciplined during training! This was something that no one could compare to! Maybe he'll focus on grooming you in the future?! So you can rest assured…"

When Ah Yuan heard the praise, he asked excitedly,

"Fourth Brother! Did the instructor really say that about me? Then, am I not a cripple?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I lie to you?"

When the others heard what Fourth Brother said, they all surrounded him and asked what the instructor said about him. Fourth Brother looked at the others and sighed.

"Brothers, the instructor doesn't seem to have a good impression of us! According to him, the main reason was that he did not follow the rules and always cared about himself! Why didn't they unite with the other people who participated in the training and look down on them! Brother A Yuan did the best in this aspect!”
