Ming Zuo

Chapter 1054
Pan Xiaona left.

He will also go to other villages to promote immigration policies.

He will come back in five days to accept applications from people who want to immigrate.

He left, but left endless waves to the villagers.

During these five days, all the villagers will face the most important choice in life.

Migrating thousands of miles away is obviously an earth-shattering event for these ordinary people.

Many people can't make up their minds, and many family matters need to be negotiated.But all of this must be done within five days.

Shi Sandang's house is dilapidated like all the villagers.

The house made of yellow mud has long been riddled with holes, and many places even see through the light, allowing mice to come and go freely.

But no rats.

Because there is nothing to eat at home, even mice are reluctant to come.

All five members of the family gathered together, all with serious expressions.

"Brother, is Jilin Province, the Son of Lao, really as good as the county magistrate said?"

Shi Sandang's eldest son, Shi Zhu, couldn't hold back his curiosity.

He is already in his thirties, but he has not married a wife yet.The family is so poor that they can't afford to marry or support them.

At this time, he was covered with a piece of rag wrapped around his waist.Only in this way can you get off the kang and sit on the ground.

On the kang, Shi Sandang's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was wearing a quilt, but she was actually wearing nothing inside because she had no clothes.

Shi Sandang's second and third sons had a piece of torn linen draped over their bodies, barely enough to cover their bodies.

This is still the village head's house, so it can be seen that other farmers are afraid of worse.

Looking at the situation of the family, Shi Sandang felt out of breath.

"That's what the county magistrate said. Who knows whether it's true or not? If you are deceived, you won't even be able to return home. You'll be a lonely ghost."

From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't really believe that the government will be so kind.

But in the past two years, the new officials have been very tolerant towards the common people.It is true that no tax was collected, let alone the people were recruited to do any hard labor.

But running thousands of miles away is really unimaginable for ordinary people.

Unlike him, Shi Zhu was eager to try.

"Even if I was cheated, what can I do? As long as there is a mouthful to eat, it is better than anything else, and the second and third children will be big. If this continues, our family will starve to death."

The second son Shitou and the third son Shizi have grown up, but like Shi Zhu, they are still single.Even because he had no clothes to wear, he seldom went out of the house.

As the eldest son, Shi Zhu couldn't bear it long ago.

"Brother is right, no matter what happens, it's better than starving to death here. Why don't I go out with the third child, and the eldest brother will honor you at home. Without me and the third child, the land at home is good enough for you to eat of."

Shi Sandang's family has a total of five acres of land. If two people are missing, the rest will be able to make ends meet.

Mrs. Zhang was already crying.

"I'm afraid that you will never come back again. This is a lonely ghost, and the ancestors don't recognize it."

Shizi was irritated.

"The ancestors didn't bless us to have enough food, so what if we recognize it or not?"

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? See if I will whip you?"

Shi San wanted to make a move angrily, but was stopped by the voice outside the house.

"Uncle Shi, old aunt, are you home? Brother Shi, second brother, third brother, I'm back!"

The people in the room were all surprised when they heard the voice.

"Oh, it's Golden Wazi."

Shi Sandang and Shi Zhu hurriedly opened the door and went out. When they saw the people outside, they couldn't help being in a daze.

The man stood straight outside the door, and his appearance seemed very familiar.

But the straight military uniforms, shiny epaulettes, and shiny and reflective leather shoes all made them a little timid.

When the visitors saw them, they were very kind.

"Uncle Shi, big brother, don't you know me? I'm a golden child."

Only then did Shi Sandang dare to be sure.

"It's a golden baby, really a golden baby. Oh my god, this has changed, I dare not admit it."

The visitor strode forward, getting closer.

"If you change your appearance again, that's our baby, isn't it?"

Shi Zhu looked at the person, his eyes were full of stars.

"Jinwazi, you are so majestic, you are even more majestic than the county magistrate."

Jinwazi laughed loudly, and quickly waved his hands.

"I'm just a small platoon leader, how can I compare with the county magistrate?"

Shi Sandang's eyes were also hot, and he quickly pulled Jin Wazi to sit at the door, and scolded Shi Zhu: "You bastard, why are you still standing there? Go get Jin Wazi some water to drink."

Only then did Shi Zhu come to his senses, and turned to go, but was stopped by Jinwazi.

"Our own family, why are you being polite? Old aunt, second brother, third brother are there?"

Mrs. Zhang, Shitou, and Shizi had already heard the voices outside, and hurriedly answered inside.

Jinwazi obviously knew about the situation in the village, so he exchanged pleasantries with the three of them outside, but did not enter the house, so as not to be impolite.

Shi Sandang and Shi Zhu talked to Jinwazi.

After hearing that Jinwazi joined the army, he followed the army to North Korea and fought several battles with the Tartars. Shi Sandang and Shizhu never closed their mouths.

"I heard people say that the Tartars are powerful, did you win?"

Jinwazi was extremely proud.

"Where are the Tartars our opponents? We pushed them all the way north from Busan, and they were defeated."

Pan Xiaona also said the same thing, but the people in the village were skeptical.Now that their own family members have come forward to say it, Shi Sandang and Shi Zhu finally believe it.

Jin Wazi gave the two of the things he brought with him.

"I have been serving as a soldier outside these years, and there is only one old woman at home. Thanks to you for taking care of me. Everyone's life is difficult, and I need you to take care of it. This is something that I express my heart."

Seeing the unusually exquisite cloth and even two intact furs, Shi Sandang and Shi Zhu were all terrified.

"This can't be allowed. The folks in our village are supposed to take care of each other. How can we accept your things? Besides, this thing is too expensive, you don't dare to mess around."

Jinwazi laughed loudly, and forced the thing into their hands.

"Third Uncle, Big Brother, I am now the platoon leader. My monthly salary is three taels of silver, and I can afford these things."

He pointed to the two furs again.

"You don't know that this thing is extremely expensive here, but it is everywhere in Jilin Province. Every year, it is pulled back by boat by boat, and it doesn't cost much at all."

He does not mean that.

Shi Sandang and Shi Zhu couldn't help thinking.

"Then Jilin Province, is it really rich?"

Jinwazi didn't know the situation at home yet, so he said truthfully, "That's the newly developed territory of our country. There are no people at all, but I heard that the land is quite fertile. Although it's quite cold most of the year, it's good. There are quite a lot of things. I asked the people there, and they said that even if they don’t cultivate the land, they just go to the mountains to hunt and dig for medicinal materials, which is enough to survive.”

Jin Wazi left.

Shi Sandang's family gathered together, looking at the exquisite fabrics and stroking the smooth and warm fur, the impetuous mood could no longer be calmed down.

"Second brother, third child, you all go out for a while and find something to eat for yourself."
