There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 16
There are more than 30 households in Yongping Village, with a population in the early [-]s.

Although it is a village with mixed surnames, the whole village gets along fairly well, especially listening to the village chief.

The village chief said to go back, and the group of people didn't think anything was wrong, so they turned around and left.

On the contrary, some women who came out wanted to go to the city to buy some more things, but when they heard the price Qi Ercai said, they all shrank their necks.

Darling, salt for one tael a catty, oiled paper for twenty cents a foot, and brown sugar for eighty cents a catty, none of which they can afford!

There were 80 to [-] people in the team going back, and most of them were men. It was very spectacular to watch.

Even if they had bullock carts and carts, even if they had grain bags on them, the passers-by on the road would all get out of the way when they saw them.

Taxes and grains were saved, but on the way back, the joy of saving taxes and grains did not last long.

Especially after the village chief saw Yin Cheng sitting on the old Qi's wooden cart, he hurriedly invited him to the bullock cart and carefully inquired about the affairs in the city.

Yin Cheng has been running a pharmacy in the city for many years. Even if he doesn't pay much attention, he knows more about the affairs of the city than these muddy legs.

The more the village chief listened to Yin Cheng, the more his heart sank, and finally his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

It's clearly the autumn tiger's day, but he feels that it's colder than being in the snow on a cold day.

Everyone around who heard Yin Cheng's words turned pale.

It's messed up, it's messed up, how can these little people live?

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the team finally returned to the village before the sun set completely.

All the households were happily waiting for the grain sellers to come back, but what they expected to see were pale faces and listless spirits.

How the villagers reacted, the Qi family did not know.

After being separated from the village chief at the entrance of the village, Yin Chengcheng followed Qi's wooden cart to Qi's house.

"Grandma is back!"

Qi Manman was squatting in the corner watching the ants with Qi Shilang, and when he heard the sound of the door, he got up quickly and walked towards the door with his short legs.

Qi Cheng, who had been anxious all the way, could even be said to have lost two of his three souls, felt as if he had come back to life the moment he saw his precious granddaughter.

He hurriedly embraced the fragrant and soft granddaughter in his arms, the Qi Cheng family was very sweet.

"Grandma, Man Baoer misses you so much!"

Qi Manman put his arms around Qi Cheng's neck, and kissed his saliva on the other's face without hesitation.

"My baby, my dear baby! Seeing you, my baby is really not afraid of anything."

Along the way, what Qi Cheng thought about was that he might have to leave here.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, especially for an old lady like her, it is very uncomfortable for her to flee from home at this age.

But now, with Xiangxiang Ruanruan's granddaughter in her arms, Qi Cheng seems to be less afraid.

Fleeing from famine is nothing, as long as her Man Baoer can grow up well and not be tortured by those wicked people, not to mention fleeing famine to find a safe place to live, even if she spends the rest of her life to flee famine and use her are happy.

"Mom, you are back."

Yi Meng was the first to greet her.

She was already doing needlework in the yard, and her main purpose was to watch the two little dolls, so she followed them out first.

"Well, I'm back. Tell Dalang and the others to come out and help move things!"

Qi Cheng said, sighed, and asked again: "Is your father at home?"

"Yes, weaving baskets in the house."

Yi Meng stepped forward and took Qi Manman over.

The old lady must be tired after going out for a day. Holding the child now, not to mention the tiredness of the adults, it is easy to drop the child.

If it were any other time, Qi Cheng would definitely not be willing to hand over her granddaughter, but now she wanted to hurry up and talk to the old man about business, so she didn't mind the actions of the fourth daughter-in-law.

Qi Zheng in the room heard the sound and came out, and saw the things on the wooden cart and the baskets that his sons were picking at the first sight.

With a thump in my heart, I knew immediately that something was wrong.

"Old man, something happened in the city."

Qi Cheng didn't play around with it either: "The magistrates of the county have all run away, and the rebels from the south are coming."

As soon as these words came out, all the people who were helping unload the car in the yard stopped their movements and looked at their mother in unison.

Although he already knew that something might have happened, after hearing the news, Qi Zheng still felt a little dark in front of his eyes.

"Father, mother, let's go in and talk!"

It was Qi Ercai who reacted quickly and hurriedly woke up his father.

Qi Cheng also hurried into the room to say hello.

On this day, I was worried and frightened. I didn't feel anything before, but now I suddenly feel hungry and thirsty.

Soon, all the Qi family gathered in the house.

Qi Ercai told the news he had heard, and everyone's expressions became even more ugly.

The girl Man Bao'er really said that she was right. In this case, the food really cannot be sold.

"Father, the village head also knows about this, do you think we should go to the village head's house and ask what's going to happen next?"

Although Qi Ercai was quick-witted, this was the first time he encountered such a thing. He was able to buy things calmly and rationally, and even brought people back. In fact, he had reached the extreme of his composure.

He was also confused about what to do next.

Qi Zhengzheng was smacking his cigarette pipe and pot. He just paused when he heard this, and then he smacked a few more sips.

Qi Cheng had already drank water, and seeing the old man's appearance now, he became angry: "Old man, don't pack up your two cigarettes, and think about what to do!"

"Ugh……"

Qi Zheng put down his cigarette stick and was about to speak when he heard a greeting from the yard: "Uncle Qi, are you there?"

"It seems to be an old lump of the village chief's family."

Quan Qijin heard the voice of the visitor and explained this sentence.

There must be something wrong with the village chief's family sending someone over to find the old man right now.

Qi Zheng knocked on the cigarette stick: "Please come in!"

The youngest son of the village chief's family is only in his teens this year, and he walks fast. As soon as someone from the Qi family went out to greet him, he had already run to the door of the house.

After entering the room, without waiting for others to speak, he said: "Uncle Qi, my father asked me to invite you over, saying that he has something urgent to discuss."

Qi Zheng's age is regarded as one of the elders in Yongping Village, so if any major event happens in the village, the village head will call all these old guys in the village together.

"it is good."

Qi Zheng didn't talk too much, and walked to the door after getting off the kang.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to raise his leg to step over the threshold, Qi Qi said in a childish voice, "Grandpa, Man Baoer is going too!"

"You child, your grandfather is going to talk about business, what are you doing?"

Yi Meng snorted lightly.

Looking at his granddaughter's little eyes full of longing, Qi Zheng suddenly thought of the little guy's previous actions, and for some reason, his brain twitched, and he said: "Fourth, you hold Man Baoer, let's go together past."
