The little land before the Chen family can't be taken away, this is the case in this era, you are far away, unless you have the power to make people look at the land below and not be fooled, otherwise, this little bit of land, who is close to whom, is simply a forcible possession.

Li Qiulan can't sell land, what is land? Land is the root. If she wants to sell, the old-fashioned seventh uncle knows that she is planning to leave and not come back, and the first one will suspect that she has outside intentions, suspecting that she will spoil the Chen family's child (Chen Mingkang), and I am afraid that she will not be able to leave at that time.

Therefore, I can only rent, and I don't bother the two masters, and by the way, I can find Uncle Seven to receive a few more years of land rent, so as not to find a source of funds outside for a while.

The seventh uncle was willing to let her go, and he didn't press her on this, the money was given, and he also advised: "It's not so good outside, if there is anything, come back quickly, don't spoil Mingkang." ”

He was compensated for Chen Mingkang in his early years, and later he valued it, and he was a child of the Chen family, and his blood was all related.

"Don't worry, my son, I don't care"

Li Qiulan seems to have a pungent energy when she speaks, and the action of collecting money is fast, and she doesn't need a deed or anything like that, and she can't understand it, but the original owner is illiterate.

Uncle Seven asked them very wholeheartedly how to go, and then helped arrange for someone to lead the way as a companion, as for the relationship in the city, he also gave an address and name, saying that he was a friend in the early years, and he could ask.

The friends of these older generations are not very broad, but they are extremely powerful, uh, courageous.

If you visit at night, you dare to knock on the door of someone who has spoken once, and you are not afraid of being beaten out, and you are replaced by a group of modern night owls, if you don't have a good relationship, you don't dare to call someone at three or four o'clock in the morning to get up and talk, just for your own interest.

Li Qiulan took the address and name, thinking in her heart, it is probably not a deep friendship, otherwise the seventh uncle's family could have come to ask for help or something with this, but it is estimated that they also know each other, and they don't ask for it themselves, they are not afraid of losing face, and they can also be generous.

In any case, this heart is worth grateful.

After thanking him, he left, very simply, Chen Mingkang was a little reluctant, Chen Juan too, she has a deep affection for here, not to mention anything else, just looking at the pots and pans at home and not taking it, my heart is not steady, this is moving?

Hugged her little burden tightly, didn't dare to say anything, Chen Juan brought a set of dishes and a small pot in the baggage, and deliberately wrapped it in a thin quilt, so that no trace could be seen outside, which was against Li Qiulan's will, she was afraid that Li Qiulan would find out, so she glanced at it.

Li Qiulan didn't care, she was also carrying a bag, which contained some clothes, she didn't have any nostalgia for everything in this world, and walked simply and calmly.

Yes, go, they are going to walk all the way, two days away, with an old man who is going to work in the city, the old man is from the next village, surnamed Yu, and his son is a young man in the city, and he also married a wife and gave birth to a child, but life in the city is not easy, the old man and the old wife dare not go to the city to disturb, so they simply stay in the village, only once or twice a month, and send some eggs to the city, and make a little help.

There are not many things, but it is also a mind, not to mention anything else, as long as you are diligent, it is still very easy to raise chickens.

The chickens of the Chen family were sold by Li Qiulan, and there was no hen that could not be sold when they were laying eggs, and the remaining eggs were all cooked, and the pastry made of surplus grain was used as food on the road.

"It's not easy to live in this city!"

Yu Laohan has neat legs and feet, but he is a little hunchbacked, carrying a vegetable basket with vegetables that have just been picked up. These dishes are not worth much, but he has to send them to the city one by one, but he is afraid that his son in the city will be thrifty and will not be able to eat a fresh vegetable leaf.

This basket of vegetables, if you can't eat it, you can still sell some, and you won't be afraid to put it for a while, and after a while, he can still send fresh past.

Coming and going, it's all walking, it doesn't cost money, as long as you're not afraid of trouble, it's okay to go from time to time.

Many of the vegetable sellers in the city are not from the nearby villages? They are far away, and it takes two and a half days to walk back and forth, but if they walk in the dark, they can be faster, and there is nothing difficult on the road, but they are afraid that the women and children will be timid and dare not walk at night.

Yu Laohan is not afraid, he left overnight, and he could send the vegetables in before they wilted, not to mention anything else, there is a layer of soil under his vegetable basket, and the roots and whiskers are still stained with earthy smell, so they will not dry early.

"If it's not easy to live, you have to live, don't people want to go to high places? We, Kang'er, will definitely be city people in the future. ”

Li Qiulan was like a son's brainless blowing, Chen Mingkang was embarrassed to say it, his little face was a little red, his eyes were very bright, and he also had expectations for the future.

Chen Juan walked heavily, the things she was carrying were heavy, she didn't feel it at first, she was already out of breath after walking half the way, Chen Mingkang was also carrying a burden, which contained books, not lighter than her, and she didn't want her brother to help.

Among the three, only Li Qiulan is the most relaxed, this is also Chen Mingkang and Chen Juan didn't care, if the original owner is still there, at this time, Chen Mingkang is definitely the one who can walk empty-handed and lead the wind, the original owner must carry all his burdens by himself, and it will never be like now.

Yu Laohan saw that Chen Juan was walking hard, and gradually slowed down his pace, but there was always some sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was worried that they would delay time.

After walking another third of the way, he reached out to help Chen Juan and took the burden, but he didn't say anything about the weight, only urged, "Go faster, if you don't hurry, there will be nowhere to stay when it's dark." ”

At night they slept in a nearby village, not for the night, but for a fee, and found an empty house where no one was around, and made do with it all night.

Fortunately, Chen Juan brought a quilt, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to sleep.

Li Qiulan was a little annoyed, she really forgot about this stubble, when the materials were in short supply, they might not be able to buy things with money, and the small pots and dishes brought by Chen Juan were not in vain, in the end, they were allowed to eat a mouthful of hot things, and Yu Laohan contributed a little vegetables to let them deal with a vegetable soup.

Chen Juan has a very good life, the oil at home is not easy to carry, so she simply uses it on the cakes, and brings the salt with her, so that the soup will not be tasteless.

These preparations are not very exquisite, but Li Qiulan didn't care about them, so she looked sideways, how to say it? As soon as the heart of getting by came up, she didn't know how ordinary people lived, and sure enough, she still didn't like such an era.

Li Qiulan has long known that she has this problem, and she treats what she doesn't like negatively, as if she "skips", anyway, this experience is a passing scene for her, how many years are only for a moment, even if she leaves now, she will not feel pity.

The reason why I don't do that, on the one hand, is because I have some expectations, as if many non-chiefs will never give up until the last moment, and on the other hand, I don't know if I am particularly interested, I don't know if the next one will like it, then, thinking of the worst possibility, this one is okay and can be persevered.

didn't insist on going through that part of the plot, as if he had lost, an inexplicable desire to win.

Under this kind of ambivalence, she has lost her level in life and work, and she looks like she has no brains, but she is not as good as Chen Juan, a little girl.

Chen Juan was very happy that she didn't be reprimanded by Li Qiulan when she took out her things, she didn't dare to think about it if she praised it or not.

With Chen Juan's satisfied smile, Li Qiulan felt panicked in her heart, she was originally a cheap mother, and she didn't want to be a good mother, but when she got along, she always had some feelings, and she didn't dare to say that she would push them to a high position and step on others' heads, but she didn't want such a good child to be stepped on by others.

Again, this is very contradictory.

"Mother, when I get to the city, I can also find a job to do. ”

Chen Juan was only afraid that Li Qiulan would not speak because she was worried about her life after entering the city, so she took the initiative to take the job and said: "I can be a servant, I heard that I can earn a lot." ”

Yu Laohan has been talking about how to talk about the city all the way, he likes to say, the two children love to listen, Chen Juan is not listening in vain, he has ideas when he listens, he is not a real elm brain, and his thoughts are quite flexible, but the latter sentence turned back, "When I make money, let my younger brother go to a good private school." ”

Such a conscious demon of helping her brother, Li Qiulan glanced at Chen Juan deeply, the little girl's eyes were full of happiness and expectation, obviously she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, if this was her own child, it would really make people suffocate to death, no, it was already very suffocating now.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiulan didn't respond: "Let's talk about it when we enter the city." ”

Yu Laohan listened with envy on the side, and said as if he was energetic: "Big sister, you have a good daughter, how sensible, if I have a daughter, I will also send it to be a servant of a big family, that is more profitable than being a buddy." ”

Chen Juan smiled happily and shyly, obviously she was very happy to receive such a compliment.

Chen Mingkang frowned slightly, he didn't want to have a sister who was a servant, but... Look at this, look at that, he didn't say anything in the end, but he was a little unhappy, making money was still too far away for him.

Gentleman, high and clear!

The road for half a day was very good, and soon I saw the old mottled city wall, people coming and going, all kinds of people, short coats and short shirts, long robes and long shirts, and those wearing Western clothes and riding in cars, passing by in a flash, some bright and dazzling.

Chen Juan and Chen Mingkang were dizzying, if they hadn't been reminded by Yu Laohan, they wouldn't have known to follow along.

Getting closer, there are more people, Chen Juan is a little afraid of life, holding Chen Mingkang's hand, it seems that this can get some kind of strength, Chen Mingkang was pulled by Chen Juan, a little uncomfortable, he prides himself on being big, he has never held hands with his sister like this, and when he wants to break free, he heard Li Qiulan say: "Kang'er is holding your sister, don't lose it." ”

This time, he felt quite responsible again, answered, clenched his backhand, and followed the footsteps of the adult, not daring to look left and right.
