My whole family is fleeing

Chapter 9 Pheasant?

But apart from being happy, there are other things to consider, the first being the house issue.Although everyone in Qingshui Village agreed to let them settle, there is no good location for building houses in the village.The adults of the Youjia family discussed it for a long time, and finally decided unanimously to build the house at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village.By building it here, not only will everyone in Qingshui Village feel at ease, but they can also take care of their in-laws who live alone on the mountain.

However, Wu Shan said that he only lived here temporarily. He moved around without a fixed residence and would not live in the mountains all year round.This year, I just want to stay here for a few months because the situation here is not peaceful.

Ning Ning suddenly raised her little face, full of reluctance.

"Grandpa, don't you live here?"

"...Does Ning Ning hope that grandpa will live in the mountains?"

Ning Ning wrinkled her little nose and shook her head unexpectedly.The adults around him became interested and stared at the little guy with smiles, wondering what she had to say.

As a result, the next moment, Ning Ning was counting the heads of Wu Shan's family with her fingers.

"Ning Ning wants grandpa to live with his grandparents, eldest brother, and second sister..."

Wu Shan subconsciously wanted to laugh, but suddenly remembered that there were many people watching here, so he immediately took it back. He still had that cold expression, but his voice couldn't help but become softer.

"Ning Ning wants to live with grandpa?"

You Sifang on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his father-in-law's voice, but he had the sense to put away his shocked expression before Wu Shan looked over.

Ning Ning didn't notice everyone's strangeness, she just nodded her head very seriously.In her immature world, shouldn't all relatives live together?
Wu Shan couldn't help but want to laugh, but he held it back, gently rubbed the child's head, and nodded under the nervous gazes of Wu An and others.

"Since Ningning likes it, grandpa will continue to live in the mountain. Ningning can come and play with grandpa whenever she is free."

Although they couldn't live together, Ning Ning gestured at the distance up and down the mountain. It didn't seem that far?So I was happy.

You Sifang breathed a sigh of relief.My wife has never said it before, but now that father and daughter meet, my wife must really want to continue to get along with her father. It is also a good thing to be able to get along closely.He was sincerely happy for his wife.

In the middle of the afternoon, Li Zheng came again and marked the ground for them.The end of the village is close to the mountain, and wild animals sometimes rush down, so this area is really not very valuable. Even so, the land deed for the yard where their bustling family lives is only ten taels in total.

This is the lowest price for Wushan's sake.

However, the You family has been on the road to escape for more than two years. At the beginning of the escape, Old Man You exchanged most of the family's money for food. Now everyone rummaged through all their pockets and only found out a few or two or four. money. "...You still have to make money."

Old Man You subconsciously took out a greasy black pipe from his pocket and knocked it on the table in front of him, but nothing came out. Then he remembered that after two or three years of running away from famine, he didn’t even have enough to eat, so where could he have anything else? What tobacco?
Li Zheng also came out of hard times, so he naturally knew that a few taels of silver would be a huge expenditure for an ordinary farmer's family, let alone a large family that survived the famine?If he was the only one, he would be the one to decide.But as an upright person, with so many villagers trusting him and relying on him, he couldn't act arbitrarily, so he could only strive for the lowest price.

At this moment, the deadline was quickly stated.

"Don't worry, just pay back the money around the Chinese New Year next year."

The You family members breathed a sigh of relief, and gratefully pulled Li Zheng to chat with him for a while.After seeing Li Zheng off, the You family adults couldn't help but frown.Their whole family is an out-and-out farmer. So many people need to eat and drink. How many harvests can they get from farming in a year?What's more, they have no land at all now, and buying land costs a lot of money. What's more, it's still winter, and they don't even have to dig wild vegetables. Even eating and drinking is a problem.They can't rely on their in-laws, right?How embarrassing is this?

Boss You slapped his thigh hard.

"Dad! How about I go work as a servant? I just found out that there are several wealthy families in the town thirty miles away from here..."

"Okay, shut up. How old is your child?! How could someone be willing to have such an old boy? And do you think a boy is so easy to be? There is no way to get in, and besides, being a boy We have signed the contract, and from now on, our freedom will not be controlled by others!"

When You Sifang was young, he went out with a caravan and met Wu An because of this, so he had a fairly deep understanding of the outside world.At this moment, he directly denied the boss's suggestion.He didn't say that some wealthy families don't treat their servants as human beings!How can the boss stay here with such a stupid temper?

The adults are so worried. In fact, the children are not heartless. They realize that the atmosphere at home is not good. None of the children speaks, but just listens quietly. Even the youngest Ning Ning can't help it. Lift your chin and listen hard.But Old Man You looked at the children with a little fear in his eyes, and couldn't bear that they had to worry about their livelihood at such a young age. With a wave of his hand, Old Man You asked You Laoliu to take the children out to play.

You Laoliu was reluctant at first, but when Ning Ning reached out his hand, he immediately hugged her with a smile and led a group of children out.

Grandpa really wasn't lying when he said he was only staying on this mountain temporarily. After leaving Wushan's courtyard, there were fewer and fewer traces of pedestrians. The leaves of many trees had dried up. Occasionally, a few green pines were still standing. Very tall too.

Ning Ning was held by her sixth brother. She could see in all directions and listen in all directions, feeling curious about everything around her.After a while, I asked myself to come down and walk.For more than two years, I often stay in a backpack and feel that I can't run fast anymore.You Laoliu was reluctant at first, but when he saw Ning Ning's black grape-like eyes, he quickly gave up on his principles.

Ning Ning kept her feet on the ground and found it very novel. She tried to walk a few steps. The uneven mountain road made her stagger a little, and she immediately grabbed the sixth brother's pants.

"Cuckoo..."

Um?what sound?Ning Ning seemed to hear something. She immediately looked at Brother Six and the others, but everyone seemed to not hear the sound and acted normally.Ning Ning wanted to ignore it, but the cooing sound sounded again, and it seemed to be closer.Does this sound sound like a chicken?
Ning Ning still remembers that when she was in her hometown, her family had a group of vigorous chickens, and they could sometimes eat a steamed egg.You can even eat chicken during the Chinese New Year!
