Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 49

"You can't talk nonsense, it will bring disaster if people hear it." Aunt Ge said to Song Yeqing with a solemn expression, as if she was facing an enemy.

"No nonsense. This is what Yan Xin heard when he went to the county seat."

This is the rhetoric discussed by the two. Recently, He Yanxin often goes out, so it is normal to know the news.

"Did you hear it from Yanxin? Where did he go today? Driving an ox cart?"

Song Yeqing nodded, looking at her tense state, she felt a little worried.

So the tone was rare and a little weak: "Don't get too excited." Wouldn't it be exciting for the old man?

"What... what is this? Go? Where are you going?"

Realizing that Song Yeqing wasn't joking, Aunt Ge was in a mess and turned around the room eagerly.

My mind was completely occupied by the war, and I ignored Song Yeqing's talk about going to Zhaozhou together.

"Old man, you have something to say!" Conscription and rebellion, this is a major event related to the lives of the whole family.

Seeing her husband's indifferent appearance, she became even more bewildered.

Although Uncle Wu is old, he is in charge of the family after all, and he is much more stable than Aunt Ge. He has not said a word yet, and is very calm.

It's just that the gully between his eyebrows is getting deeper and deeper, resembling gray-brown tree bark cracked by old age.

When foreign enemies invaded, every household recruited an adult man, and he went too.

Uncle Wu will never forget the tragic and bloody scenes on the battlefield.

He Yanxin's father died on the battlefield, and he was lucky enough to be assigned to the kitchen, so he came back by luck.

No one wants to fight. In the past, it could be said to be defending the country, but this time it was the rebels.

Against the imperial court, can we get it right?

"Flee to Zhaozhou... when will we leave?" Uncle Wu said.

Out of trust in Song Yeqing and He Yanxin, or in other words, trust in He Yanxin who has grown up since he was a child.None of them doubted the truth of the matter.

"As soon as possible! The sooner the better. We can leave at any time, just look at your house. You can ask Yanxin to go to the county seat tomorrow."

I have been preparing for it these days, and basically everything that can be used has been received in the space.

And Wu Sanyou and Mrs. Qi are two years younger than her, and they are high school students in modern times.

He Yanxin said that he survived the previous life, but he lost a hand.

His father-in-law was also able to handle the matter, and took his wife, daughter and granddaughter to escape the refugees and turmoil until Wu Sanyou returned home.

After everything settled down, the Qi family went back to Anshan Village every Qingming Festival to worship their tombs.

Because they didn't know that Mrs. Song and the others had been killed, they also inquired about the whereabouts of several people.

Naturally, their family also wanted to bring them, but...

"Just, there is one thing I want to make clear here."

Song Yeqing was silent for a moment, but still said to the two skinny old men in front of him:
"You can tell Angkor about this, but we will not and will not go with them."

Leaving Wu Erlang and his wife behind, she has no psychological pressure, but she still maintains basic courtesy in front of the old man, and does not call her by name directly.

"Okay, that's okay..." Uncle Wu's body became more and more stooped. "Then let Dalang Saburo and the others go with you, and we two will stay at home."

He glanced at Aunt Ge and made a difficult decision.

Song Yeqing was puzzled: "Why did you stay?"

Aunt Ge understood the reason for the unbearable and apologetic expression in his wife's eyes.

"That's right, Qingniang, we won't leave. The main thing is that we've got used to it here. As the saying goes, it's hard to leave our homeland. I'm not happy to go outside."

After calming down from the fright and shock she had just received, her mind was able to function normally, and she managed to show a relaxed smile.

"Your original elder brother and elder sister-in-law went to her natal house. I will tell them about it when I come back later. Let his elder brother go to Sanlang's side instead of asking Yanxin to go."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ge clapped her hands.

"No, I'm going to prepare dry food for them on the road." He hurriedly walked out.

"Auntie? Hey..." Song Yeqing didn't stop her from continuing to persuade her, so she had to turn her head.

"Master, even if you are not forcibly conscripted, once things get chaotic, you will easily get into trouble if you stay alone."

She thought that Uncle Wu just thought that he would not be forcibly conscripted when he was old, and there was no danger, so he chose to stay in Qizhou.

As for what Aunt Ge said about the difficulty of leaving the homeland, is there anything more important than life now?
"And the drought is getting more and more serious, maybe one day there will be no food. Besides, we are not going out forever, at most two years, we can come back."

It can be said that Song Yeqing is very earnest, even the discomfort of repelling communication before coming here is gone, and now she only wants to persuade them to leave.

Seeing her like this, Uncle Wu had no choice but to say: "We are too old to walk, isn't this holding you back?"

"If you can't walk, you can take a bullock cart. Yanxin bought two cows."

And in my memory, didn't the Wu family also raise a cow?There is also a cart made by Uncle Wu himself.

He Yanxin bought two ends because he was afraid that there would be too many people and too many things, so he was prepared.

Originally, I also wanted to buy a faster carriage, but horses are an important war preparation material and cannot be bought outside.

But then, no matter what Song Yeqing said, Uncle Wu stubbornly refused to leave, and she seemed to be angry if she continued talking.

Seeing that Song Yeqing really couldn't persuade her, she had no choice but to shut up and keep silent.She has used all her life skills.

Why don't you wait for He Yanxin to come home and let him come and say it?People are close and distant, facing him, it should be easier for the two of them to listen to advice.

She went out, ready to go back to the next door.It's rare that Aunt Ge didn't come out to deliver, and hid in the kitchen.

"gone?"

After Song Yeqing took the two brothers away, Aunt Ge showed up and asked Uncle Wu.

"En." Uncle Wu hesitated to speak and looked at this old wife who had been with him for more than 30 years. "Cinnamon, I..."

"Hi! Needless to say, I understand. How many years do we have to live? It's okay."

She went out empty-handed, and there was no smell of fireworks in the kitchen behind her. It can be seen that the preparation of dry food just mentioned was just an excuse.

Where is there food?

I originally thought about dividing the family today. I divided the house into two and gave them to the eldest and the second respectively.

The family didn't have much money anymore, so the two sold some unused possessions these days, including the cow.

In previous years, cattle could be sold for at least 20 taels, but now they are only sold for 14 taels.

It's also unfortunate that I knew that He Yanxin needed it, and now I'm leaving, so I stayed for them.

The main thing is that He Yanxin's purchase of cattle was done in a covert way, and they didn't make any noise about it, so they didn't know it.

In the end, the two of them scraped together 19 taels of silver and divided them into three shares for their three sons.

The big house and the second house are divided equally, and the third child is going to be a door-to-door son-in-law after all, so only five taels are left for him.

There is not much food in the first place, and it is agreed that the two elders will live with the elders, so they will not give the second one any points.

In any case, the two of them have done the utmost fairness and have a clear conscience.

But the second daughter-in-law was very upset when she heard it, saying that she didn't want a house, but money and food.

I messed around there for a long time, never believing that the family only had this little money, and crying and crying to find someone from my natal family to come and judge.

He also went to search the house of the old couple, and stopped after finding that there was really no extra money.

But still tough.It’s okay to separate the family, but if you don’t need a house, just give money and food.

After arguing for a long time, there was nothing to do, and with the consent of the boss, he gave most of the money and all the food to the second family.

The house belongs to the boss, in addition to two taels of silver.

That's how the family was divided.

After getting the money, the second child and his wife went out happily, going to the town to buy a house, and left the child at home to pick it up tomorrow.

All the food was taken away, and the family didn't even cook dinner.The boss went to the town to buy it, but he couldn't find it, so he had to go to the county town to buy it the next day.

So the eldest couple went to the daughter-in-law's house to borrow food for tonight.

　The heroine is just a boring and cool girl now, but she will become more and more smoky after being influenced by many aspects.
