Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 7 Where is dad?

(It has started to update normally, please give me some favorites and votes, these are very important, thank you!)
"San'er, is that you?"

Wei Chunfang heard the movement outside the courtyard gate and rushed out.

"Mom! It's me, we are back!"

Zhu Chuanren stood at the entrance of the courtyard, pushed open the wooden door, and looked at his mother running towards him with a smile.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, chickens were crowing and dogs were barking at the entrance of the village, and smoke was rising from every household in Zhu Jiayu's house. Unfortunately, there was only the smoky smell of burning wood in the cold air, without any fragrance.

"Children, you are finally back. This night, I was so anxious!" Wei Chunfang held back her tears and patted Zhu Chuanren.

"Haha, mother, aren't we back now? Stop crying."

Zhu Chuanren comforted him and held his mother's shoulders as he walked inside.

Chuanwu followed behind silently, and the three of them entered the courtyard. He carefully looked out. He had been taught by Chuanwu's kind words and deeds along the way, and he already knew the importance of confidentiality!
You have to keep good things to yourself and don’t let outsiders know about them. Especially in this day and age, people who stutter are completely like luxury goods, so they must keep a low profile!

After making sure no one was following him, he closed the door and bolted it inside.

"Why is this child chained up in broad daylight? Our family is so poor, why are we afraid of being stolen?"

Wei Chunfang looked at her second son dumbfounded, and then walked out, trying to take off the door bolt.

"Mom, wait a minute, second brother, take out the things and show them to me, so that she doesn't have to worry."

"Hey!" Chuanwu responded and put the big package on the ground. There was a bang and smoke and dust flew everywhere!

Listen to the sound, it's not light.

The old lady was stunned:
"This is?"

"Mom, we found a lot of good things on our trip to the mountains. We brought back everything we could. Take a look!"

Chuanwu unwrapped the package, and as the contents inside leaked out, I was completely stunned.

"Oh my god, have you robbed the granary?"

Wei Chunfang covered her mouth and squatted down excitedly, flipping through this and smelling that. She was even more excited than seeing her father who hadn't been home for four years!
"Look, salted fish, deer meat, rabbit meat, venison, horse meat, what is this? White flour? My great master, you finally have your eyes opened!"

As I said this, I wanted to cry again, but this time it was tears of joy.

Seeing that my mother was so happy, Chuanwu sat down on the ground and giggled.

"Second child, third child, tell me quickly, where did you get these good things?"

Wei Chunfang picked up a piece of bacon and smiled with her molars.

Zhu Chuanren did not answer. He looked at the second child and motioned for him to say that if he still said something wrong in front of my mother, his mouth would have to be sewn shut.

Fortunately, Chuanwu did not disappoint him. He followed Chuanrenjiao's words and said them word for word.

Wei Chunfang didn't think much about it. It was so normal to encounter this kind of thing in these days. Maybe one of the hunters encountered officers, soldiers or bandits and ran away after receiving the news in advance. He didn't even have time to take away food.

Or maybe it was for some other reason. Anyway, it’s not important. What’s important is that so much food now belongs to their Lao Zhu family, and no one can take it away!

No, Wei Chunfang suddenly thought of something, her smile froze, and she hesitated:

"Third son, and second son, there are so many things, should we share some with the fellow villagers?"

This time Chuanwu didn't dare to speak nonsense and turned his eyes to Chuanren.

"Mom, put these things in the cellar. Our family will eat them by ourselves. Don't tell anyone.

By the way, let Chuanwu accompany you to the countryside tomorrow morning and come back in exchange for some food.

Firstly, it will be used for my eldest brother to find a wife, and secondly, it will also give our family more protection. "

Once the meat is eaten, it will be gone, but if you replace it with grain, you can eat it for a few more days.These days, the people are living a tight life, and no one dares to think about a day when they have meat to eat every day.

Unknowingly, my mother also began to respect Chuanren's opinions. She knew her children best. Most likely, the third child got these things, and the second child didn't have the brains.

"Okay, it looks like there's a lot of stuff, but if it's really divided between ten miles and eight villages, it probably won't be enough. When the time comes, if this family has more and that family has less, we'll still have to complain."

Wei Chunfang comforted herself and then said:

"Second brother, let's trade this big piece of horse meat for food tomorrow."

This piece of horse leg meat should weigh seven or eight kilograms. It is estimated that it can be exchanged for two or three kilograms of coarse grains. There is no standard for how much it can be exchanged for. The war is in chaos right now, and the price is very unstable.

In this era, food is more expensive than meat. There is no saying that food is not available, but as long as there are men in the family, it is still no problem to go to the mountains to hunt game every now and then.

"Okay, listen to mother!" Chuanwu responded, and saw my mother happily going to wake Chuanjie up.

"Chuanjie, Chuanjie? Get up soon. Let's see what your two brothers have brought back. Meat! And white noodles. Mom will make noodles for you to eat tonight, braised noodles..."

Listening to the movement in the room, Chuanwu smiled from the bottom of his heart. He was a bit tough, a bit wild, and a bit stupid, but he still loved this family.

"Get up, don't sit still, be careful of diarrhea." Chuanren pulled his second child up, and then said:
"Go to the market tomorrow and help me buy something handy while mom isn't looking. Come back later."

He secretly handed a handful of copper coins to Chuan Wu without counting how many they were, and left the rest for Chuan Wu as pocket change.

"What's the matter?" Chuanwu didn't understand.

"Just a short knife, don't make it too conspicuous, remember not to let mother see it."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I promise to buy it back for you."

"Well, also, I'm going to ask about the recent ferry ticket to outside the customs, how much it is, and when the boat will sail. I must find out clearly."

Chuanwu scratched his head:
"Why are you asking about this? Are we going to go outside the customs?"

"We must go. If nothing else happens, our father should be outside the customs."

"What? Real or fake? How do you know?"

Chuanwu's voice was a bit loud when he was excited.

"What did you say? What do you know?" Wei Chunfang shouted from inside the room.

If it weren't for my lack of energy now, I would have to beat this guy up. It's so irritating!

But I couldn't beat him anymore, so I could only glare at him:
"What are you doing so loudly? I'm going to die!"

"Well, I just don't understand, how do you know that our father is outside the customs?"

Qi Gui Qi needs to be explained clearly to Chuan Wu, otherwise this elm-headed man will not be able to figure it out even if he thinks about it:
"Analysis! What do you eat to grow a brain?
Back then, my father followed the Boxer Rebellion, and as a result, everyone in the group was killed and exiled.

Our father didn't make any movement at all. Do you think it's normal? "

Chuanwu shook his head repeatedly:

"unusual!"

"So he can only run away, but no matter how big the pass is, it is still the emperor's territory, where can he go?
As long as you enter Shanhaiguan, the sky is high and the birds can fly!

Once again, no one can find him if he remains anonymous! "

Zhu Chuanren's analysis was sound and logical. I don't know if it was right or not. Anyway, Chuanwu thought it was extremely credible.

"Your analysis makes sense."
