Capital Datang

Hearing his son's words, Shitou's father also sighed and said: "Shitou, if you go out for a trip, your heart will become wild. I am afraid that you will never be an honest farmer again. It's just that we are all escaping and secretly It’s okay to work for others, but it’s too difficult to open a factory, and the household registration alone is not something we can handle.”

Stone naturally understood this too. They were all fugitives, and if they were discovered by the government, they would be deported. If he wanted to open a factory in Jianzhou, he must have a proper identity, at least obtain a local household registration, otherwise It's just an idiot's dream.It's just that although Datang's household registration management is not too strict, if there is no connection, it is not so easy to get it out.

However, Shishi has a temperament that does not hit the south wall and does not look back, so he did not lose heart, but still firmly said to his father: "Father, isn't there any difficulty in doing anything? Let's let the household registration matter go first." On the other hand, I’d better work honestly for a few years, earn money while looking for ways, maybe I can get a household registration!”

Seeing that his son still didn't give up, Father Shitou didn't say anything anymore. After all, he knew that his son had always been very assertive. As long as it was something he believed in, he would definitely try his best, even if it cost him a lot of money. He will not hesitate to pay the price.

The return of Shitou and the others brought great changes to Luoshizhai, especially on the second day, Shitou Niang and several younger sisters, as well as Dunzi, Houzi and their family members were all wearing new clothes brought back from outside, and they also wore Some novelty jewelry made the villagers of Luoshizhai envious, especially those young girls.Looking at Shitou, Dunzi and others with different eyes, this greatly satisfied their vanity.Capital Datang 460

It is also from this time.Many young people in the village approached Shitou and the others one after another, hoping that they would go out next time.I can bring myself.After all, they all grew up with Shitou, and now they saw Shitou and they brought so many things to the family when they went out. Naturally, they were envious, so they all thought of going out. As for their family, Also support this matter.

Shitou and the others agreed to these people's request without even thinking about it. Shitou and the others were not the only refugees working outside.There are also fugitives from other places, and there are often conflicts between the fugitives and the fugitives because of some things. When they were outside, because there were only a dozen of them, they couldn't beat others in a fight, so they were often bullied. Now There are too many people going out, and then everyone will form a group to see who dares to bully them?

Shitou and the others are busy recruiting people.He ran around the village for several days, but this morning after eating, he just wanted to go out, but was stopped by Shitou's father: "Shitou, don't go out today, take a gift to Nanshan, you and Xiang Toon Things have to be done!"

I heard my father mentioning himself and Xiang Toon.Stone also felt a little embarrassed.When he was the year before last, he had already arranged a marriage.The woman's family lives in Nanshan Village, and her name is Xiangchun.He went to see it secretly, she is a pretty girl, he should have married Xiang Toon long ago, but last time he sneaked out to become a monk, and the family really couldn't get anything for the wedding, so he dragged on until Now.

Marriage is a big event, if it is placed in an ordinary family, it needs to be hired with six rites, but the life of the refugees is hard, most of them can't even eat enough, so the ceremony of marriage is much simpler, generally speaking It is also to get married first, and then the two families meet again before the marriage to discuss the date and details of the marriage, and then bring the bride here on the wedding day, and then have a banquet, the marriage is considered to be over.

Since they were going to Nanshan Village to discuss the matter of marriage, according to the rules, the Shitou father and son had to bring a generous gift. There were no decent gifts, but Shitou brought a lot of things this time. After Shitou's parents sorted out, they took out a piece of cotton cloth, two new clothes, ten catties of salt, eight bottles of canned food, and some snacks in exchange. of bacon.Although these things seem to be worthless, they are considered a very generous betrothal gift for the fugitives.

Nanshan Village is just to the south of Luoshizhai. The situation there is even worse than Luoshizhai. The village is surrounded by mountains and cannot grow any food at all. Fortunately, tea can be grown, but people outside bully them as fugitives. The price of tea is extremely low, and it cannot be exchanged for much food throughout the year.

In order to support the whole family, the men in Nanshan Village usually go hunting in the mountains during the slack season, all of them are good hunters, and the reason why Shitou was able to be married to Xiang Toon is that Xiang Toon's father accidentally broke his leg while hunting in the mountains and almost died. On the mountain, fortunately, Da Shitou met him and carried him home, which saved his life.Father Xiangchun was grateful for the life-saving grace of Shitou's family, so he betrothed his daughter Xiangton to Shitou, and the two families were considered married.

After moving all the betrothal gifts to Shitou's wheelbarrow, Shitou and his son pushed the cart on the road. Although Nanshan Village is not far from Luoshizhai, it is not close. In addition, the mountain road is rugged, and it takes more than an hour to walk. It was almost noon when they arrived at Nanshan Village.

The location of Nanshan Village is a small mountain depression, surrounded by low hills on all sides, and on these hills, tea fields are reclaimed in pieces, which are full of tea trees. Every spring, these tea fields It is full of tea pickers, but unfortunately these tea fields are not enough to support Nanshan Village, and men need to venture into the mountains to hunt.

Because Nanshan Village sells tea, the road condition is better than that of Luoshizhai. Although it is also a dirt road, it is paved with a layer of gravel, so even if it is raining, you can still walk normally.

Nanshan Village is even poorer than Luoshi Village. When you enter the village, all you see are rows of houses made of stones, covered with thick thatch on the roof. There are all kinds of animal skins, and there are also a lot of dried bacon hanging under the eaves.

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, most of the men in Nanshan Village are not at home. After all, they want to take advantage of this time to go hunting in the mountains. On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be people from outside exchanging various daily necessities for animal skins. The price is very low, but they have to rely on these hunting income for all their New Year's expenses.

The village is full of women. These women always like to inquire about things. Naturally, many people recognize Shitou, the son-in-law of the village. In addition, things outside Shitou have also spread to them, so these women are also right. Shitou was very enthusiastic and greeted their father and son one after another, but Shitou and his son were a little embarrassed in the end.

Walking through the streets of Nanshan Village, until I came to the east end of the village, I saw the home of Shitou’s father-in-law. His father-in-law’s surname was Tie, and his name was Tieshan. , although he has been diagnosed and treated by a doctor, one leg is still lame, and he can no longer do life. He usually stays at home.

Before Shitou and his son reached Tieshan's house, the villagers had already notified Tieshan of something good. As a result, far away, Shitou saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law standing in front of the gate, waiting to greet them with a smile. .

Shitou's father saved Tieshan's life, and the two families often moved around, so when Tieshan saw Shitou's father, he immediately greeted Shitou's father happily. On the other hand, he moved the dowry from the car, which aroused the envy of the villagers. After all, such a generous dowry is rare.When the Tieshan couple saw the dowry gift from Shitou, they also felt that their faces were bright, so they smiled even brighter, and hurriedly welcomed Shitou and his son home.

Tieshan's family had a good life, but because of Tieshan's injury last time, he spent most of his savings on the treatment of the injury, and Tieshan could no longer go hunting, and the family lost a main laborer. Fortunately, Tieshan still had two An adult son, but even so, the family has lost a lot of income, which makes the Tie family look a bit dilapidated, and there are less animal meat and animal skins under the eaves than other houses, but they also went out to hunt today, so the stones are not there. See these two uncles.

Shitou father and son were welcomed into the house, Shitou's mother-in-law poured water for them, and then began to cook and prepare meals.The kitchen is next to the main room. When Shi Shi came in just now, he saw two young figures busy in the kitchen. One of them was the eldest daughter-in-law of Tieshan. For sure, that figure is his future wife, Xiang Toon.Capital Datang 460

"Stone, last time you sneaked out, you worried your parents for a long time. Although you brought back a lot of things, if you want to go out next time, you must let your parents know!" Tieshan first put on a straight face. Taught Shishi a few words.Naturally, Shi Shi didn't dare to say anything, but nodded with a grin.

Tieshan saw that Shitou's attitude was not bad, so he didn't say anything else, but began to discuss the date and details of the marriage with Shitou's father. They waited until noon, when Shitou's mother-in-law and Xiang Toon brought out the food and wine, and then they discussed everything. complete.Because life is not good, especially for Tieshan's family. Fortunately, the dowry gift from Shishi includes canned food and bacon, so he can make up a few dishes, which can barely be used to entertain people.

After Tieshan took a sip of his homemade rice wine, he suddenly sighed and said, "Father Shitou, luckily Shitou came back years ago, if Shitou doesn't come to marry Xiang Toon this year, then our marriage will be impossible." It's easy!"

Hearing Tieshan's words, Shitou's father was stunned, looked at his son, and asked in puzzlement: "Brother Tie, what do you mean by that? Is there any difficulty in the family, do you want to marry Xiang Toon to someone else?" (To be continued.)
