Chapter 21 Old man Jiang's wishful thinking
Mrs. Zhou put down the shoes in her hand: "Are you telling the truth? Is there food hidden in the big house?"
Jiang Yu said with a green and red face: "I saw it with my own eyes. They took it out of their luggage."
Zhou became excited, and hurriedly let go of Jiang Yu and put her shoes back on her feet, "What a big house, I wonder where they have the confidence to make such a fuss, they must have hidden their secrets for a long time! I don't know where they are.
I'm here, I want you to have an easy time!"
He hurriedly rushed into the house and said to Jiang Laoer who was lying on the bed: "Master, get up quickly and go to your mother's place. Tell her that there is a lot of food hidden in the big room!"
Jiang Laoer suddenly sat up: "What did you say?"
"The big house has a lot of food hidden secretly! It belongs to the public, that is, ours!"
When Mrs. Zhou thought of those grains, she felt excited. The most scarce thing at the moment was grain. There were only two bags of coarse noodles left in the house. With the virtue of the old Qianpo, she and Jiang Yuzui would definitely have to learn from her.
Provincial.
If she could plunder the food from Dafang's hands, she would be able to eat two more bites.
Jiang Lao Er jumped out of bed and hurriedly went to Old Man Jiang's house to tell the matter, "Dad, the boss and his family are so brave. They actually played this trick under the noses of you and mother. It's really unbelievable."
Take the rules at home seriously!"
Old Man Jiang raised his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Laoer rubbed his hands: "Dad, that is the food of the public, our big family..."
Old Man Jiang glanced at him: "Stop your idea as soon as possible, unless you don't plan to go with them. Second brother, if you want to make trouble, I won't stop you, but you'd better think clearly. Those two of you
My son is only a few years old. You don’t have to think about how many dangers there are on the way south. You are really going to offend people to death. Have you ever thought about what you are going to do along the way?"
Jiang Laoer was dissatisfied: "He has already promised to sever ties with us, do you still want to count on him?"
Old Man Jiang snorted: "I know the boss, he is the most soft-hearted person. If you hadn't wanted to sell that little fool, and Jiang Yu had pushed the old man down the mountain in front of so many people, how could he have done it?
I won't say such things. No matter what happens, relatives are still relatives after all. As long as you don't risk your life, you can always count on them."
Jiang Laoer wanted to say something else, but when he met Old Man Jiang's eyes, he shrank his neck and said, "Okay, I understand."
After Jiang Lao Er went out, Old Jiang shook his head helplessly. This Lao Er's vision and mind were just like his mother's, and he couldn't stand on the stage.
Fortunately, he still has a third child.
The third child, Jiang Wen, is a promising man. In the past few decades, the only scholar in his village married the daughter of a wealthy family in the county, and his life was very happy.
Thinking of his third son Jiang Wen, old man Jiang looked a little anxious.
The refugees came from the county town. I don’t know what’s going on in the county town. Is the city gate closed properly? Are they involved?
When he thought of this, Old Man Jiang scratched his head with worry.
When Jiang Laoer left the main room, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly greeted him: "Master, how are you doing? Did Dad ask us to go to the main room for food? Just wait, I'll find a guy who can take advantage of me!"
She must take this opportunity to give that rotten Dafang a good beating!
Seeing how excited she was, Jiang Laoer was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her: "Please calm down! Don't make trouble all day long. Believe it or not, I will divorce you!"
Zhou was slapped inexplicably and had no idea what was going on.
Jiang Yu huddled in the corner, feeling a little excited when she saw Zhou being beaten.
Jiang Wan's family didn't know these nonsense. After they roasted some yams and ate them, they took out the reed mats and bedding from the car, spread them beside the fire, and fell asleep.
A neighbor saw the family lying on the ground and came over and said, "Brother Dapan, pack your things and come to my house to squeeze in. If you sleep in the open air, you will catch a cold."
Jiang Pan smiled and declined, "It's okay. Starting from tomorrow, we will all have to sit in the open air like this. It's good for us to get used to it a day in advance."
The man was stunned for a moment: "In this world, it's really hard to live."
Jiang Pan comforted him: "Think on the bright side. When we get to Jiangnan, life will be better than now."
The man sighed: "I hope so."
After they left, Jiang Pan said to Dalang: "Although we are in the village, it is not peaceful now. We have to leave someone to keep watch at night. You keep watch for half the night, and I will keep watch for the rest of the night."
Erlang hurriedly said: "Dad, you just need to sleep peacefully, and my eldest brother and I will switch to keep watch."
Jiang Pan thought for a while and nodded: "That's right. You should learn to grow up and do your job in the future."
Sanlang also remembered, but Jiang Pan pushed him back, "How old are you? Do you need to join in the fun?"
Sanlang was unconvinced: "I'm already twelve."
Jiang Pan smiled and slapped him: "Sleep honestly, and when you are needed to do something, you won't be able to run away even if you want."
Saburo had no choice but to lie down unwillingly.
Jiang Wan slept between Chen Yuezhi and Su Shi. Seeing Sanlang being slapped, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Sanlang heard the laughter and made a face at her, making Jiang Wan laugh even louder.
With this smile, everyone's suppressed emotions and confusion about the future disappeared.
What is there to be depressed and confused about?
As long as they are together as a family, no matter how difficult the road tomorrow is, it will not scare them!
The next morning, before dawn, there was movement in the village.
Everyone must quickly inventory their things and prepare to go.
Jiang Wan's family also got up and repacked their things and moved them onto the cart.
Soon, the village chief and his family came over driving an ox cart.
Although the village chief's family owns an ox cart, except for the village chief's 70-year-old wife who sits on the ox cart, everyone else in the family has to walk on their own.
There is no other way, so the whole family will flee the famine, and everyone will bring everything they can use.
A large family means a lot of things, so even if there is an ox cart, there is no way for people to sit there.
The situation is the same for several other people in the village who own bullock carts.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the sky got brighter and the villagers all gathered.
The village chief glanced at the families: "Since everyone has decided to escape together, then we must advance and retreat together on the road. If there is danger, we will bear it together. If anyone is the coward, we will expel them from the team!"
Everyone agreed with this decision.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's set off!"
People all over the village were pushing carts and dragging their families towards the entrance of the village.
As we walked through the village, many women and children began to cry.
Once you leave, you can never come back.
The men couldn't help but have red eyes when they heard the crying.
Jiang Pan's family has already experienced it once, so they don't feel much about it.
After leaving the village, the village chief looked back at the village again, suddenly fell to his knees and knelt three times facing the village.
This is the homeland where he was born and raised. When he leaves, it is probably like saying goodbye forever.
Seeing this, the others also knelt down.
After everyone kowtowed to the village, they pushed the cart and rushed towards the unknown front without looking back.
