Chapter 146: People are cheap when they leave their hometown!

"Don't make any noise, it's not the end yet! It's still too late to sow the seeds five or six days later. Maybe it will rain in the next few days." Mr. Tai thought for a long time before saying this.

Mr. Tai happened to come out to join in the fun, and he also frowned.

It stands to reason that Banxian'er has calculated that this year will definitely not be a disaster year, and the little granddaughter also said that there will be a good harvest.

No matter how you think about it, the rain is inevitable, but there really hasn’t been a drop of rain since the New Year.

At this time, seven or eight people, old and young, walked toward Zhangjiacun in the south, pushing wheelbarrows and carrying umbrellas in their backpacks, as if they were going on a long trip.

Someone recognized the old man among them and shouted quickly, "It seems to be Uncle Zhang's house in the west of Zhangjiacun."

The old man of this family is about the same age as Mr. Tai, so he is naturally more familiar with him.

Mr. Tai stood up and asked from a distance, "Brother, where are your family going?"

The tear pimples on Zhang Laoba's face had not yet been wiped clean, and when he suddenly saw an old friend he was familiar with, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Uuuuu, brother Tai, our family really can't survive anymore. We plan to go south to escape and find some way to survive!"

The rest of the Zhang family also choked and looked downcast.

Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai quickly stepped forward to persuade and asked carefully.

It turns out that the Zhang family had a large population, but few laborers, and only three acres of land.

During the good harvest years, we were always half full, and we were worried about one or two people starving to death at any time, let alone now that there has been a famine for several years!

I originally thought that now that wild vegetables have come out, I am not afraid of starving to death. I can wait for spring planting and I can always survive for another year.

It's a pity that the family was negligent and didn't take good care of the grain seeds, so they were destroyed by rats.

There was no rain in the sky, and the family felt that there was no way out no matter how hard they thought, so they packed up and thought about walking slowly south.

If they encounter a wealthy family buying someone, they will become slaves, and at least they can survive.

But it’s hard to leave my homeland. The place where I have lived all my life is so heavy that I can’t walk on it, so I started to cry...

Everyone in Taijia Village sighed and felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Then how do you arrange the three acres of land in your home?" Mr. Tai sighed and asked.

Zhang Laoba wiped his tears and replied, "I asked the village chief to stay. Whoever wants to plant can plant it, and if he doesn't want to plant it, it will be abandoned. If we can't get along outside, there is still hope when we return home."

Tai Sanye disagreed, "If you sell three acres of land, you can still get more than ten taels of silver. You can always feel confident when you take it with you on the road."

It turned out that it was okay not to say this, but when he did, Zhang Laoba actually sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"I can't bear to part with it. It was left to me by my father. If I sell it, I won't be able to see my father! The three acres of land that I have been serving my whole life will kill me!"

Mr. Tai couldn't stand listening, so he thought about it and said a few words to his brother.

Tai Sanye nodded quickly, then helped Zhang Laoba and persuaded him, "Old brother, you are a humble person when you leave your hometown. It's better not to leave if you can. Isn't it just a few kilograms of seeds? We still have them at home. I have the final say. I’ll give it to you to use first, and then I’ll return it to you when the harvest is good in the autumn.”

"Really?" Zhang Laoba couldn't believe it. "I asked the village chief to borrow it, but he said he didn't have it!"

Mr. Tai immediately responded, "I'm afraid Brother Zhang is in trouble. He borrowed your family, and the whole village is watching. It's not easy for him. Our clan is very lucky. After the year, I worked several times, and my life was easy." Some, I can barely spare a portion, otherwise I won’t be able to help you, I’m powerless.”

Zhang Laoba nodded and couldn't stop thanking him.

Seeing this, the old and young family members behind him burst into tears of joy.

Who wants to leave home? Unless they have no choice but to survive, they can't even take a step forward!
Soon, Zhang Laoba personally carried half a bag of grain and took his family back home.

Everyone in Taijia Village gathered together and chatted non-stop.

Some are thankful that their life is going well, while others are laughing at the fact that Zhang Laoba and his family don’t have enough children and cannot afford to raise them.

On the other hand, Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai looked at each other, but said nothing, only feeling worried in their hearts.To live a good life is to live a good life. Folks in every village have food to eat, get married and have funerals, and have more children, so that life can become more and more prosperous.

If someone starts fleeing famine, a trend will soon form.

With the loss of population, the desolation of ten miles and eight villages, and finally the thieves everywhere, the houses are empty, and the ruin of the Northland is a foregone conclusion.

Even if there is a good harvest for another five or six years, it may not be possible to recover.

But they were able to stop one family today, but they were unable to stop a hundred families and a thousand families...

"We still have to find a way!" Mr. Tai sighed.

Third Master Tai stared blankly, and desperately tapped the cigarette pot, "I can't help it!"

Maybe God felt sorry for the two old men with frowning faces. At this moment, a fast horse ran up from a distance. The man on the horse was a hundred feet away and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Grandpa, grandpa, we're back!"

Mr. Tai suddenly stood up, his eyes bright and scary.

"Yongan? It seems that my Yongan is back!"

The rest of the villagers also saw clearly, and they were all very happy, and they all gathered around Mr. Tai to greet him.

As for the brats like Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue, they were already screaming, and they couldn't even care about their shoes after running away.

In the blink of an eye, Tai Yongan ran up to him. He dismounted and knelt down directly in front of the old man.

"Grandpa, woo woo, I'm back!"

Compared with when he left home, he was much taller and stronger, and the youthful youthfulness in his brows and eyes had faded away, becoming more mature and steady.

But when I suddenly saw my relatives, I couldn't help but burst into tears. It seemed that I was brought back to my original shape, the same reckless and upright boy.

The old man picked up his eldest grandson and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is your third uncle? Is he okay?"

Tai Yong'an nodded vigorously, pulled his sleeves to wipe away his tears, but forgot to run away, his face was ashen, and he turned into a big face.

"Third uncle is in the city with the goods, waiting for me to come back and call someone to pick them up. There are five or six carriages, and a dozen people are needed to help!"

Tai Sanye didn't need his elder brother to say anything, he immediately shouted to his son and a few other clan members who were doing their jobs down to earth, "Let's go to the city to pick up Third Brother!"

The clansmen responded immediately, ran to the Tai family yard to call Tai Jizu, and quickly drove into the city.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue jumped and shouted, wanting to follow together.

The old man was worried about his son but refused to admit it. On the pretext of seeing what good things they had brought in the south, he also jumped on the carriage...

At dusk, Tai Jiye, like a victorious general, returned to the village with the villagers and six carts.

Yang Lihua was holding Zhuzhu, Tai Jizong, Liu Dongniang, and Chunhong were all standing at the door looking around.

Tai Jiye was the first to jump off the carriage, stepped forward and snatched Zhuzhu away, laughing.

"Zhuzhu, Third Uncle is back! Third Uncle has brought you something good! Have you thought about Third Uncle?"

"Think about it! Third uncle is the best, Zhuzhu likes you the most!" The sweet talk of the fat girl never disappoints, she just slapped third uncle's face, coaxing Tai Jiye to laugh even louder.

Mr. Tai followed behind, throwing cold water in disgust, "Come on Zhuzhu, grandpa will hold you. Your third uncle is about to turn into a mud monkey, and you are not afraid of eating a mouthful of dirt! Let him wash up, and then we can talk again."

Liu Dongniang greeted quickly, "Third brother, the water has been boiled and is in the wing. Go and wash it quickly. My sister-in-law has made new clothes for you and they are all ready."

"Thank you, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law!" Tai Jiye responded cheerfully, feeling relieved.

finally arrived at home!
