Chapter 232 The Homeland Is Difficult to Leave (Part [-])

"Father, if you don't leave, I won't leave either." Lin Youbao said.

"That's right, I don't feel at ease if I leave you alone. Otherwise, let's listen to Xiaoer and let the whole family go." Qi said.

"What's the fuss? Just leave if you're told, why are you talking so much?" Lin Jiafu slapped the table, stood up, and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.

The family looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Although Lin Jiafu is staid and doesn't like to talk, Qi's family is always in charge of matters outside the family, but Lin Chuang knows that he is the head of the family, and his mother has no idea on key issues.

Dad's family status is related to the status of men in this era in the family, and it is also related to his knowledge and ideas.

Among other things, just saying that such an ordinary family can't be more ordinary, let him and Xiaozhuang study, it is enough to see that Dad is not an ordinary person.

"Xiao Zhai, what should we do? Your father is old and in poor health, so you can't leave him alone. Otherwise, you all go, and mother stays. Anyway, we are all old, let alone the Japanese devils , what kind of devils come and can't attack our old man and mother?" Seeing that the head family had left, Qi suddenly lost his mind and said in a crying voice.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry, I'm going to persuade my father, I can't leave him alone. You eat first, and I will go to persuade my father." Lin Chuang comforted quickly.

He understood that if he didn't explain to his father, even if the family went to Chongqing, they wouldn't be able to stay for a while.

……

After leaving the house, Lin Chuang greeted the villagers while inquiring about the whereabouts of his father.

Hearing that his father had gone to his own field, Lin Chuang hurried away.

My own land is in the southeast of the village, with ten acres of wheat and five acres of cotton, including the ancestral graves.

When Lin Chuang arrived, Lin Jiafu was squatting on the ground in a daze.

Lin Chuang didn't speak. He looked at his own wheat first, and found that the wheat of this era was not comparable to that of later generations.

One is rare, not as dense as later generations, probably because there is no money to buy seeds.

The second is thin and short, the height is probably just below the knee.

The third is that the yield per mu is not high, at most it is more than 200 catties, which is simply too bleak compared with the yield per mu in later generations, which can easily exceed [-] catties.

Lin Chuang picked an ear of wheat, rubbed it with his hands, and found that the blue kernels were quite plump.

He blew on Pimang, put the wheat in his mouth, and said to Lin Jiafu while chewing: "Father, if our family moves away, will this land still belong to us?"

"Of course it belongs to us. With the land deed, who would dare to take it by force?" Lin Jiafu said sullenly.

"If we don't move and the Japanese devils come, if, I mean if, if our family dies, will this land still belong to us?" Lin Chuang asked again.

"Then this land will become unowned land, and it will be taken by the government and then sold." Lin Jiafu replied.

"Yes, Dad. We went to Chongqing to avoid disaster, and it's not that we won't come back. After many years, we will come back. This land is still ours. What else can't you think about it?" Lin Chuang said.

"The people are there, the land is there, and if the people are not there, the land is not there..." Lin Jiafu repeated Lin Chuang's words, savoring slowly.

"Father, it's also the same principle to sacrifice ancestors. The incense burns forever when people are around, and the incense burns when people are away. Isn't this the truth?" Lin Chuang said, pointing to the graves in the field.

Lin Jiafu still had no words.

"Father, as the old saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Chongqing is far away, it is indeed safe. We are less than a thousand miles away from Beiping and less than 150 miles away from Jinan. The Japanese devils will come when they say it. Dad, this is not a fight between members of the same clan, but a fight with foreign enemies. It is definitely a never-ending situation. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about my elder brother, Xiaozhuang, and unborn nephews and nieces. ?” Lin Chuang persuaded.

"Xiao Zhai, tell me, are the Japanese devils really going to enter the customs?" Lin Jiafu asked.

"Father, you don't know what I do. I do secret work, and I have access to top-secret information. According to reliable news, the Japanese devils will attack China in an all-round way in early July. Father, this battle is getting bigger and bigger, it's not just a joke Just kidding, not to mention the foreign troops, even the bandits from the third detachment, don’t we ordinary people worry all day long?” Lin Chuang said.

"Yeah, when I was young, I slept with my belt hanging around my neck. I was afraid that I would not find the belt when I was running. When I heard the bandits were coming, I had to run quickly. If I ran too slowly, I might lose my life." Lost it." Lin Jiafu agreed.

"Yes, father, you are the head of the family. If you don't want to leave, you miss my mother, my brother, and Xiaozhuang, can they leave? If they leave, can you feel at ease?" Lin Chuang saw his father Feeling moved, strike while the iron is hot.

"Xiao Zhai, you just said that we are fighting against foreigners this time, and we will never stop dying. If they all run away, who will do it to them? We can't be deserters. We will be stabbed in the back by the villagers in the future!" Lin Jiafu looked at Looking into Lin Chuang's eyes, he said excitedly.

Lin Chuang always thought that his father had a good brain and was more enlightened than other people in the village. He never thought that his father still had this awareness.

Among other things, you just look at the names he gave to his three children, Youbao, Youzhu, and Youzhuang, which fully embodies the idea of ​​a small farmer who only cares about his one-acre three-point land.

But I never thought that my father could say such profound and righteous words.

"Father, you are right. If we Chinese are all afraid of death, then we are not far from subjugation, so we must rise up and fight. Father, I can assure you that as your son, I am not a coward, I What you are doing is anti-Japanese, including good strategies. Let’s put it this way, your son may not be seen as a single person, but the role played by your son will not be smaller than that played by a hundred or even a thousand soldiers. So, father, Only when you are safe, can I have nothing to worry about and devote myself to the fight against Japan." Lin Chuang also said excitedly.

"Okay! My son didn't embarrass the ancestors of the Lin family! Once you say that, I understand that you let the whole family move to Chongqing because you want to get rid of your worries. Son, this is a big deal. Dad firmly supports you." Lin Jiafu He patted Lin Chuang on the shoulder heavily, almost knocking Lin Chuang into the ditch.

"Father, you agreed?" Lin Chuang asked in surprise.

"I agree. However, you have to promise father one thing." Lin Jiafu said.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuang asked.

"If that girl in Nanjing can do it, you can get married right away. If not, you can get married with Brother Dong. You can't delay. Can you understand what father means?" Lin Jiafu asked.

"Hey hey, father, father and son are connected, how can I not understand what you mean?" Lin Chuang smiled happily.

Back home, Lin Chuang was still immersed in excitement, and saw Xiao Zhuang and Brother Dong rushing into the house in a hurry: "Second brother, go and see, the uncle is whipping Angkor Er..."
