"Dad, if you don't leave, I won't leave either," Lin Youbao said.
"Even if I leave you alone, I don't feel at ease. Otherwise, let's just listen to the waiter and let the whole family leave." Mrs. Qi said.
"What are you talking about? You can leave as soon as I ask you to leave. How can you talk so much?" Lin Jiafu patted the table, stood up, and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
The whole family looked at each other, and no one said anything.
Although the Lin family is old-fashioned and doesn't like to talk, and the Qi family takes care of everything at home and outside the family, Lin Chuang knows that he is the head of the family, and his mother actually has no idea on key issues.
Dad's family status is related to the status of men in this era in the family, and also to his knowledge and ideas.
Apart from anything else, the fact that such an extremely ordinary family actually allowed him and Xiaozhuang to study was enough to show that my father was no ordinary person.
"Xiao Zhai, what should we do? Your father is old and has bad health. You can't leave him alone. Otherwise, you all leave and mother stays. Anyway, we are both old, let alone the Japanese devils.
, No matter what kind of devil comes, they can't attack us old men and mothers, right?" When Mrs. Qi saw her head of family leaving, she suddenly lost her mind and said in a tearful voice.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm going to persuade Dad, but I can't leave him alone. You guys can eat first while I go to persuade Dad." Lin Chuang comforted him quickly.
He understood that if he didn't talk things through to his father, the family would not be able to stay there even if they went to Chongqing.

After leaving the house, Lin Chuang greeted the villagers and asked about his father's whereabouts.
Hearing that his father had gone to his field, Lin Chuang hurriedly chased him away.
My family's land is in the southeast of the village. Ten acres of wheat, five acres of cotton, and ancestral graves are all in this fifteen acres of land.
When Lin Chuang arrived, Lin Jiafu was squatting on the ground in a daze.
Lin Chuang didn't say anything. He looked at his wheat first and found that there was no comparison between the wheat of this era and that of later generations.
One is rare, not as dense as later generations, probably because there is no money to buy seeds.
The second one is short and slender, with the height probably just below the knees.
Third, the yield per mu is not high, only over 200 kilograms at most. Compared with the yield per mu in later generations, which often exceeds a thousand kilograms, this data is simply too bleak.
Lin Chuang picked an ear of wheat, rubbed it with his hands, and found that the green seeds were quite plump.
He blew on the skin and put the wheat into his mouth. While chewing, he said to Lin Jiafu: "Dad, do you think that if our family moves away, will this land still be ours?"
"Of course it belongs to us. With the land deed, who dares to take it by force?" Lin Jiafu said dullly.
"If we don't move and the Japanese come, if, I mean if, if our whole family dies, will this land still be ours?" Lin Chuang asked again.
"Then this land will become ownerless land and will be taken away by the government and then sold." Lin Jiafu replied.
"Yes, Dad, we are going to Chongqing to avoid trouble, and it's not like we won't come back. When we come back in a few years, this place will still be ours. Is there anything else you can't think about?" Lin Chuang said.
"Where people are, the land is there. If people are not there, the land is not there..." Lin Jiafu repeated Lin Chuang's words, savoring them slowly.
"Dad, the same principle applies to offering sacrifices to ancestors. When people are here, the incense will last forever, but when people are gone, the incense will cease. Isn't this the truth?" Lin Chuang pointed to the graves in the field and said.
Lin Jiafu was still speechless.
"Dad, as the old saying goes, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. Although Chongqing is far away, it is indeed safe. Our place is less than a thousand miles away from Peiping and less than 150 miles away from Jinan. The Japanese devils said
That's it. Dad, this is not a fight between people of the same clan, it is a fight with foreign enemies. It is definitely a fight to the death. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about my eldest brother, Xiaozhuang, and my unborn nephews and nieces.
Think about it?" Lin Chuang advised.
"Xiao Zhai, tell me, are the Japanese really going to enter the border?" Lin Jiafu asked.
"Dad, you don't know what I do. I do secret work, and I have access to top-secret intelligence. According to reliable information, the Japanese will launch a full-scale attack on China in early July. Dad, this war is getting bigger and bigger, and this is not a joke.
Just kidding, not to mention the foreign troops coming, the bandits from the third detachment, aren't we ordinary people worried all day long?" Lin Chuang said.
"Yes, when I was a child, I would sleep with my belt hanging around my neck. I was afraid that I would not be able to find the belt when I ran. As soon as I heard that the bandits were coming, I had to run quickly. If I ran slowly, I might lose my life.
Lost it." Lin Jiafu agreed.
"Yes, dad, you are the head of the family. If you don't leave, do you think my mother, brother, and Xiaozhuang can leave? Can they feel at ease if they leave?" Lin Chuang saw his father.
If you have some thoughts, strike while the iron is hot.
"Xiao Zhai, you just said that we are fighting against foreigners this time and will fight to the death. If they all run away, who will fight with them? We can't be deserters. Our backbone will be broken by the villagers in the future!" Lin Jiafu looked at it.
He looked into Lin Chuang's eyes and said excitedly.
Lin Chuang always thought that his father was just smart and more open-minded than others in the village. He never thought that his father still had this consciousness.
If nothing else, just look at the names he gave to his three children, Youbao, Youzhu, and Youzhuang, which fully embody the thoughts of a small farmer who only focuses on his own one-third of an acre of land.
But I never expected that my father could say such profound and righteous words.
"Dad, you are right. If we Chinese are afraid of death, then we are not far from the country's subjugation, so we must rise and fight. Dad, I can assure you that as your son, I am not a coward.
What we are doing is to resist Japan, including good strategies. Let’s put it this way, even though your son is just one person, the role your son plays will not be smaller than the role played by a hundred or even a thousand soldiers. So, Dad,
Only when you are safe can I be free from worries and devote myself wholeheartedly to the fight against Japan." Lin Chuang also said excitedly.
"Okay! My son has not embarrassed the ancestors of the Lin family! When you say this, I understand that you want to get rid of your worries by moving the whole family to Chongqing. Son, this is a big deal, and dad firmly supports you." Lin Jiafu
He patted Lin Chuang's shoulder hard and almost knocked Lin Chuang into the ditch.
"Dad, did you agree?" Lin Chuang asked in surprise.
"I agreed. However, you also have to promise dad something." Lin Jiafu said.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chuang asked.
"If that girl from Nanjing can do it, you will get married immediately. If not, then marry Brother Dong. You can't delay. Do you understand what dad means?" Lin Jiafu asked.
"Hey, hey, dad, father and son are connected, how can I not understand what you mean?" Lin Chuang smiled happily.
...
After returning home, Lin Chuang was still immersed in excitement when he saw Xiaozhuang and Brother Dong running into the house in a hurry: "Second brother, go and have a look. The uncle is whipping Brother Angkor..."
