Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 12
"Chuanren is back? Can you please tell me?"

Before entering the hospital, Chuanren saw my mother's face showing peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

"Oh, mother, let's go into the hospital and talk~" Chuanren's face showed no expression, and my mother's heart skipped a beat.

"San'er, what happened? Why is your face drooping?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Chuanwen rushed in as if his parents had died:
"Mom, what should I do? Old Uncle Tan said it would take a bucket of rice to marry Xian'er!"

"What?" Wei Chunfang howled so loudly that half the village could hear it!

"Mom, don't get excited yet. Sit down and say, where are the second and fourth children?" Chuanren sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and the cold touch did not shake his expression at all.

"The second brother went to contact the uncles in the village, thinking that he could work hard on the day of the wedding. This is a good time. I can't marry him..."

Chuanren took his mother's rough hand and asked her to sit down, and asked seriously:

"Mom, have you ever thought about going to find dad?"

"What?" Wei Chunfang is just a country woman. Maybe she is very courageous and dares to take responsibility at critical moments!But after all, she is an illiterate woman who cannot make big decisions.

Originally, Zhu Kaishan had the final say in this family, but after four years, not to mention people, not even a ghost has been seen, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. She has to get used to the days when there is no man in this family.

Fortunately, fortunately, the third child is now successful. Not only can he get food back, but he can also make decisions.

But he suddenly said that he wanted to find Zhu Kaishan, and Wei Chunfang's face was filled with confusion.

"San'er, where can we find your father? It's been four years and there's no news at all!"

Chuanren said calmly:

"Mom, I think dad may have taken root in Guandong. If you want to find him, you have to go outside Guandong!"

"Kanto?"

"Yes! What happened back then was too big. In such a huge country, he had no way to go except through the border!"

"But San'er, when we get there, where will we find your father? I heard that the boss is outside the customs!"

"Based on what I know about dad, he won't go too far. If he picks us up, he won't let us travel across mountains and rivers..."

Wei Chunfang stopped him:

"Wait a minute, San'er, don't say those literate words. Mom can't understand. Just tell me where to find your father?"

Zhu Chuanren was helpless. People in this era really didn't have much culture.

"Luda, Yuanbao Town!"

Wei Chunfang was stunned:

"Yuanbao Town?"

"Yes! That's the largest town where people who invaded Guandong landed from the sea. No matter whether we can find dad or not, we should go there to settle down first and then slowly find out the news. It's absolutely right!"

Wei Chunfang was at a loss and her head was buzzing. She was just annoyed about the dishonesty of the old Tan family, but now she had completely forgotten it.

"But where are we going to make a home? Besides, traveling to Guandong also requires a lot of money, right?"

"Mom, don't worry about money. Now I need you to make a decision, should we go or not!"

Wei Chunfang ruffled her hair with a trembling hand:
"Leave? What if your father comes back?"

Zhu Chuanren stared into his mother's eyes and looked at her with extremely confident eyes:

"Leave a letter at home and ask the folks to help inform you, Mom, this is our last chance, it will be too late if we don't leave!
Xiao Benzi and Lao Maozi are about to fight, and the sea will inevitably be closed. If we want to get there, we can only go by land, but the land route is [-] times more difficult than the sea and land route! "

Zhu Chuanren's words kept echoing in Wei Chunfang's mind. She didn't know how to make a choice. On the one hand, she was depressed about her current life; on the other hand, she was afraid of the future.

It's hard to have both left and right. How can she, a country woman, be the master of this?
"Mom! If you believe me, let's pack our bags now and go straight to Laolongkou tomorrow!"

"San'er, let mother think about it, this is too big~"

"Okay, mother, think about it carefully, I'll go find the second child."

Zhu Chuanren stood up and faced Zhu Chuanwen who also looked panicked. "Third brother, do you really want to leave? What should Xian'er do?"

"You decide for yourself whether to elope with her or leave her behind and wait until we get to Yuanbao Town to arrange a marriage for you!"

Zhu Chuanren would not make a decision for him, lest he would resent him later, but there was nothing wrong with either choice.

As long as Xian'er is not allowed to travel alone, she should not be bullied by bullies.

"Elope?" Zhu Chuanwen has a small heart and an even smaller brain. It will be difficult for him to pretend to be doing things in the field in his life. Don't expect him to have any big future.

How could he do something so unethical as elopement?

"If you can't do it, I'll ask Chuanwu to go over and bring Xian'er back."

"Wait, wait, let me think about it!" Zhu Chuanwen is exactly the same as my mother now, with his head buzzing and receiving so much information at once, the CPU is burned out!

Ignoring him, Chuanren stepped out of the yard. Not long after leaving, he saw Chuanwu running back with a groan!

"Second brother!" Chuanren shouted.

"Eh? San'er, are you back? Can you tell me?"

Chuanwu ran over panting.

"Don't mention it. The old Tan family is unkind and wants to raise the price. Don't even think about marrying Xian'er away without giving her a bucket of rice!"

"What? How dare they do this? Just wait, I will settle the score with them."

Chuanwu has an impatient temper, and he can't bear any grievance. He rolls up his sleeves and wants to find someone to fight for.

"Stop! What's the hurry!" Zhu Chuanren scolded, Chuanwu looked around in shame, but luckily there was no one nearby.

He scratched his head and said to Chuanren:
"San'er, I'll discuss with you whether you can save some face for me in front of others in the future."

Zhu Chuanren was amused. After all, he was still a child with no hair:
"Okay, I'll save you some face in the future, but you have to be obedient!"

"Sure! I'll listen to you, keep your wits about you!"

"Well, I just told my mother about going to Guandong. She can't figure it out now, but she will definitely figure it out, so things can't be delayed.

You go to the countryside later and see if you can get a ferry ticket. If you can't, forget it. Go to Laolongkou first.

In addition, you mainly go to buy some food, get more corn noodles, and ask my mother to make more pancakes to use as dry food on the road.

And Xian'er, when you come back in the evening and drop by Lao Tan's house, you must carry someone on your back to get in touch with Xian'er and ask her if she is willing to come with us.

If she is willing, let her prepare her luggage and meet up early tomorrow morning. If not, forget it. We have fulfilled our obligations! "

Zhu Chuanren said so much in one breath that Chuanwu was dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, San'er, do you want to elope with Xian'er?"

"It's not me, it's the boss!"

"Oh, yes, brother, but he..."

"Like my mother, he can't figure it out for a while, but based on my understanding of him, he will definitely choose this way."

"Yes, eldest brother really likes Xian'er."

"Well, go ahead and work harder today."

After saying that, he handed him a few silver dollars and a handful of copper coins.

If the money is given out, he will have no money left. He has to find time to go to the foot of the mountain and get back the start-up capital given to him by the bandits. He has to leave, so there is no need to hide the money.

"I'm fine! I'm not tired, let's go now!"

"Good~"
