Chapter 302 Tracking
Su Changan leaned against the edge of the kang with his legs crossed, continuing to drink his tea one mouthful at a time.

"That's not it, the patriarch said so loudly, you didn't hear it."

Mrs. Li, "Of course I heard it, but I just feel a little dazed. It's [-]% in total. How much food will I have to pay! Can my father be willing?"

"What can you do if you don't want to? Could it be that our dad can't really go to the county government to find the magistrate to explain?"

"Oh, what do you think you are putting so much effort into? Anyway, we don't have a separate family, and our father pays for the food together. No matter how much we pay? Anyway, it's better if you don't go hungry... "

Su Changan was impatient to chatter with Li about this, so he closed his eyes and prepared to take a rest after he finished speaking.

Li Shi saw that the head of the family had his eyes closed, and thought he had fallen asleep.She was thinking about a summer harvest at home, after working for several days, she thought he was tired, so she stopped talking, stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

Su Changan felt that Mrs. Li was gone, so he slowly opened his eyes just now, thinking in his heart that Xia Shou has been busy recently and has no time to go out, and he hasn't been to the county seat for many days.Thinking of his little wife in the county town, he felt that he needed to find some excuse, ask for some food and money, and go to the county town to see her and his youngest son.

Su Rui invited Mrs. Hua, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Lin to sit down in the main room, and poured them a cup of tea herself.

Yang took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "The natural disaster that happened in the south a few years ago has happened again this year. They won't want to flee to us again?"

"It's really possible... After all, every time a natural disaster occurs, the county government will arrange for the victims who escaped from various places to settle in each village."

"Except for the Su surname in our village, aren't all the other surnames who escaped from disaster and were arranged by the county government?"

Huashi was holding a teacup, with a familiar expression.

Mrs. Lin agreed, "That's right. My natal family said it was the Lin family village, but in a village, apart from the Lin surname, there are six or seven castes, and they are basically fleeing."

Yang sighed, "I know, but I just can't bear to part with the extra [-]% of grain."

Hearing that both Hua and Lin sighed, "Who says it's not? Everyone is reluctant..."

Su Rui smiled, "Auntie, Auntie, are you still reluctant to part with these grains? You don't live on these grains now. If you don't have any grains, you can just buy them with money. Well, if you still feel uncomfortable, then think about it." Think of those who have neither food nor money."

The three of them were all taken aback when they heard the words, Yang smiled and said, "Yes, compared with others, we are happier..."

Hua shook her head, "It's not just about being happier. To be honest, I would rather increase my taxes by [-]% each time, not [-]%.

Lin, "Who isn't? What was the past? What are we now?"

Yang sighed, "Yeah, we are so greedy..."

Su Rui chuckled at the side, thinking, this person is really greedy. When she used to have enough food and clothing, she thought it would be good to have enough food and clothing. Think, it would be nice to have extra money.When I can eat enough, wear clothes and have extra money, I will not be satisfied again...
In the early morning of the next day, every household pushed carts, or carried, carried, or carried food, and lined up at the gate of Su's ancestral hall. The yamen servants weighed and checked one by one. Although the clan members said they were unwilling, they handed over the food accurately and successfully.

There are only a few villagers with a foreign surname, and the food they handed over is either not enough to measure, or they are shoddy, and they are beaten back home to exchange for new food. This Su Zheng doesn't care, saying that anyway, after the collective meeting of the clan yesterday, they have already gone door-to-door He had already notified his door-to-door, and talked about his interests, but as for them not listening, it had nothing to do with him.

In the old house of the Su family, Su Chenming stood in front of the window of his own house, watching his father carry the food from his grandma's house on his back, and tiptoe out of the yard, his eyes darkened, thinking that this is the first How many times?Since he started hearing from Su Rui that he might be cheating, how many times has he taken things out of the house?the third time?Is it the fourth time?
Seeing his father Su Changan walk out of the courtyard gate, Su Chenming followed him out on tiptoe, then walked up the small road, entered the county town, and walked towards the East Street. At the gate of a courtyard, Su Changan stopped and looked back After a while, Su Chenming took the lead to hide behind a courtyard wall, so he didn't see him.

Seeing that he didn't know anyone, Su Changan felt relieved, and was just about to knock on the door to enter the yard, when he ran into a middle-aged woman who had just returned from shopping for vegetables, the woman saw him and shouted enthusiastically, "Mr. Su is back? You have been away for several days, and your little lady Chen should miss you, can't you think about it?"

Su Chang'an watched the middle-aged woman walk in cheerfully before saying, "Thanks to my sister-in-law for taking care of me, my lady."

Sister-in-law Yu waved her hand and hurriedly opened the door, "Hey, how polite are you? We are all neighbors, and it's normal to help each other. Don't stand at the door, go in and see your little lady and son."

After speaking, he let the door open, and Su Changan was not polite when he saw this, and walked straight into the yard.Until the middle-aged woman also walked into the yard and closed the gate.

Hearing the sound of the gate closing, Su Chenming just stood out from behind the wall not far away. What did he hear just now?His father's wife and son?What about him and his siblings?What is the woman that his bright media is marrying?Su Chenming was dumbfounded. He walked towards the yard blankly, stood by the wall, closed his eyes and listened, as if he could hear the conversation between his father Su Chang'an and a young woman, and occasionally a child's um, ah .

After standing for a long time, the people coming and going kept looking at him, but he didn't care. He staggered back until his legs and feet felt numb. When he got home, he just walked into the yard. He rushed up anxiously, grabbed Su Chenming's sleeve, looked up, down, left, and right, back and forth, and saw that there was no slightest injury, so he was relieved.

"Chen Ming, where have you been all day? Why didn't you say anything? Do you know how worried your mother is?"

Su Chenming gave Li a stiff smile, "Mother, my son just went up the mountain to play with his friends. He was so fascinated by the game that he forgot the time."

Mrs. Li blamed her son, "Why are you like your father, you can forget the time when you go to the mountains?"

Su Chenming's pupils tightened, "My father said he went to the mountain again?"
