The 2860th chapter strives to live
She couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Shu turned around and saw her and waved: "Come here."
Yundai lifted up her skirt and walked up to him on the ridge.
"The prince's outfit is quite pastoral."
"You can't wear official uniforms when you go to the field to do your job." Zhao Shu picked up a watermelon casually, and then split it in half with a little force, giving one piece to Yun Dai and the other to Baoxing. "You can try how this watermelon tastes."
Bao Xing hurriedly took it: "Thank you for the reward of the prince."
Yun Dai smiled and said, "Baoxing, you don't have to sit and rest with me."
"Yes, I'm also lazy today." Bao Xing smiled and held the watermelon to the shade of the tree not far away.
Yun Dai looked at the watermelon: "How to eat this? It's better to divide half of it."
Zhao Shu took it and separated.
Yun Dai took a piece and took a bite, which was sweet and delicious.
“So sweet.”
"This is natural." Zhao Shu said, "The land here is sandy and is not suitable for growing food, but the fruits and vegetables grown are very sweet. The children here all look forward to making money for fruits and vegetables in summer and autumn to buy food and clothing."
Yundai squatted beside him, and ate while saying, "I saw those children just now. They are all orphans you picked up?"
"It's not something I picked up. At first, it was just to take care of my few dead children and let them live together. Later, there were more orphans, so I simply changed the village and let them live."
Yun Dai said: "The prince is very kind."
"Looking at them, no one who feels a little compassionate will ignore it."
“How many kids are there in total?”
"At the age of sixteen, you can leave the village and go out to make a living. There are about a hundred people left here."
"So much?" Yun Dai was surprised. "The prince has to spend a lot of money to raise these children every year."
"I didn't spend much money, most of them raised themselves. Every fruit tree and every field you see here is planted by them. I will find someone to teach them."
"It's very hard. Some children are still very young."
"If you are older, do more, and if you are younger, do less. No one here asks them to do anything, they are all voluntary. Besides, they are all children from poor families, who have been sensible since childhood and can endure hardships. It is very important to make money to support yourself."
After hearing this, Yun Dai looked around and saw several children in their teens walking around in the melon fields with baskets on their backs and downs.
Although they were all dark and sweaty, their smiles were bright.
"Are you tired? Take a break?" Yun Dai said loudly.
"Not tired." The children smiled and waved.
Zhao Shu said: "I also opened a school and hired a teacher. Those who are willing to study can go. Whether it is farming or taking a career in the officialdom, it is always my own choice."
Yun Dai smiled and said, "The prince is very considerate, and these children are also very grateful and are all polite."
"We are all trying to live. Without parents and relatives, we can't die as well."
Yun Dai lowered her head and nibbled the watermelon without saying a word.
She knew that the King of Qin brought her here to relieve her.
Let her know that there is too much suffering in this world.
There are many people who have lived a miserable life than her.
Such young children are struggling to survive. What qualifications are she a thirty-something adult? She is now the empress dowager, and the new emperor is still young.
A group of wolves surrounded.
If she could not cheer up, there would be more such poor children in the Great Zhou and Northern Qi.
The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility.
