Mrs. Wang and the eldest lady washed and washed, tidied up their coolness, and packed up the children properly, so they took the children to Xiaohu's house.

Erya is not good at talking to strangers, so she has to learn from the eldest aunt and keep serving dishes to the women sitting at the women's table.

The eldest lady sitting on the edge of the table was the first to ask: "What is the surname of the lady's husband?" ”

Erya put down the public chopsticks and replied with a smile: "The husband's family is exempt from your surname Wang, and the eldest lady's surname is noble?" Are you all a family? ”

The eldest lady introduced a few people on the table to the second girl, "Old woman, I don't want your surname to close!" My husband's surname is Shi, this is my daughter-in-law, surnamed Song, and this is my granddaughter-in-law, also surnamed Guan, and my mother's family.

This is from the same village as us, the husband's surname is Fu, and the mother's surname is Wang. He was not a man, and he took other women with him on the way to escape, leaving behind their orphans and widows.

Halfway through, she didn't want to cross the river, so she wanted to come up along the river of your Zhuangzi, we couldn't persuade her, so we had to follow, but I didn't expect that this would be right! ”

As the eldest mother spoke, she wiped her tears and began to cry.

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family was busy persuading her mother-in-law: "Mother! Look at you, didn't we survive it?! Happy thing, what are you crying about! ”

Aunt Shi wiped her tears and nodded, "Hey! Don't cry! Don't cry! Just think about being afraid! I almost didn't make it! It's dangerous! ”

The second girl diverted the topic: "Auntie, where are you?" ”

Aunt Shi was busy wiping away her tears and replied to Erya: "Our ancestral home is Shunde Mansion, and later, because the imperial court moved the population, we moved to Yangquan in the northwest. ”

Erya didn't know which one was right, so she had to "Oh! "Well, I know.

Wang Niangzi is estimated to be similar to Erya, and she doesn't like to talk much. Only sullenly fed the dog eggs, and the dog eggs have shaken their heads and stopped eating. She's still feeding.

Aunt Shi reminded her in a low voice on the side: "Mrs. Wang! Eat it yourself, the dog's eggs are already full. Don't feed him. ”

Wang Niangzi picked up the small cloth towel prepared by Erya for everyone, wiped the dog's mouth, and then let him go down to play, and then she ate herself.

As the master, Erya always has to take the initiative to speak, so he scoops up a large piece of tofu with a spoon and gives it to Mrs. Wang. While saying, "It's dry now." There are no vegetables to eat, only this tofu is barely a vegetarian dish. You eat a piece to relieve the salty taste. ”

Wang Niangzi habitually wants to let it. Suddenly remembered that this was a guest at someone's house, so he quickly caught it and thanked him politely.

These two families can be regarded as settling down, Wang Niangzi's son dog. Aunt Shi's eldest great-grandson is left, and the youngest great-grandson is a dog. The three boys went crazy with the children in the Zhuangzi.

The adults also had nothing to do, because Erya was afraid that after the end of October, the river would dry up again, so they did not plant again. I just thought of ways to plant some and grow fast. Eat vegetables in a timely manner.

What kind of chicken hair, chrysanthemum, coriander, spinach and the like. Fortunately, in the summer, my family planted two peppers on the edge of the wheat field, otherwise there would be no vegetables to eat.

It can be said that the chicken hair cabbage is racing with bugs. As soon as it grew out, it was not two inches long, so Erya pulled it back and cooked egg soup to eat. Wait another day or two. Then I'm sorry, it's all eaten by insects.

At the beginning of December, another team of hundreds of refugees came to Zhuangzi, and they still came straight to the goal.

This time, Grandpa Tai resolutely did not let them live in Zhuangzi, but gave them wood and mountain grass, and let them build a thatched hut to live in the woods on the other side of the river.

It was only in later conversations that I learned that a qiē was really providential.

The fleeing team that came this time was actually Wang Niangzi's mother's family, and they were going to cross the river with their front and back feet.

Wang Niangzi's mother, when she heard that her son-in-law had left her daughter and grandson and fled with other women, she was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

Later, I heard that my daughter took her grandson and fled westward by suicide. At that time, I was crazy, and I had to keep up with the whole family.

The men were more sensible, ignored her madness, and continued to move forward.

Wang Niangzi's mother really couldn't rest assured, so she wanted to go all the way to take a look, and if she could catch up, she would bring her back.

If the daughter is unfortunate and dies on the road, there will be a person who collects the body.

Wang Niangzi's family has a businessman, and the preparation along the way is relatively sufficient, although it is not very good to eat and full, but at least there is no need to rely on begging to survive.

Wang Niangzi's mother pasted more than 20 large baked cakes by herself, and asked her youngest son to carry a small pot to follow. Chasing Wang Niangzi all the way down the riverbed, they came up.

When I caught up with the Wang family Zhuangzi, I heard that my daughter, grandson, and the Shi family's family were all left behind.

I inquired in a nearby village and knew that the Wang family Zhuangzi was rich and did not lack water or food, so I thought about staying here.

Then he turned back, and if he could catch up with his people, he would take them back with him to take refuge, and if he couldn't catch up, he would bring his son back.

Fortunately, although the rest of the family did not approve of her chasing her daughter, they did not leave their mother and son and crossed the river alone.

They all stayed by the river and waited for them.

Wang Niangzi's mother caught up with the clansmen, and before she had a chance to speak, she was scolded by a split.

"As long as you have a daughter, no one else will have it? Do you know how many people you are going to kill like this?

Now along the way, food is getting more and more expensive, and it is getting harder and harder to buy, and we have to stay here for so many days in vain, just to wait for the two of you.

If, because of this delay, we can't make it to the beach, how many people will you kill, you know? ”

Wang Niangzi's mother also knew that she had made a big mistake, and she was cheeky and let the clan elders scold her.

Seeing that the clan elder was almost scolded, he had the courage to say to the clan elder: "Grandpa! There's something I'd like to tell you about, and I'd like to give you an idea. ”

"Say it! Hurry up, we've got to go! ”

Wang Niangzi's mother lowered her voice and whispered: "Grandpa! So, I found that the village that took in my girl had water and food, and it is said that they kept their grain for two or three years because of the low price.

And I heard that the grain in their area is high-yielding, and the family is rich. I wondered if we could go over there?! ”

Grandpa held his beard in one hand, frowned, and said, "It's that they have food, and we have so many people." And for how long? Besides, can you guarantee that they will take us in? ”

"Grandpa! Maybe it won't be long before the drought passes.

And also! They are still planting wheat there this year, and I saw the stubble that they had just cut.

Besides, it really won't work, and when the time comes, we will continue to cross the river to the beach, and it will not be impossible.

They won't keep us. I do not know. But I just want to try my luck! ”

Grandpa also has no opinions, and now the price of grain along the road is getting higher and higher, and the silver money originally prepared. Already can not sustain them to the seaside.

Begging all the way, it's even more difficult, so many people, willing to give. Not necessarily able to afford it, and few people who can afford it are willing to give.

Grandpa gathered a few heads of the family. After discussing it together, they all thought about going over and trying their luck.

If it really doesn't work, just disperse. Begging all the way to the sea.

So more than 100 people came directly along the riverbed and went directly to Wang's Zhuangzi.

That's not the most dramatic, though.

This group of deserters is a large family. It was by the river when he volunteered to stay. Waiting for Wang Niangzi's mother and younger brother, the same family members who crossed the river together.

They finished their thatched huts and settled down.

The grandfather of the family wanted to thank the people of Wangjiazhuang who took them in, and when they found the old lady and grandfather of the Wang family, the two sat down and chatted.

Chatting and chatting about that harmony word (high?) tide) is coming.

"Dude! Your ancestors fled here, and their ancestral home is not here? The grandfather asked again with excitement and doubt, and with a tone of confirmation.

Grandpa was also a little excited, and asked urgently: "Brother! Are you from Shunde Mansion? ”

The grandfather of the family hurriedly returned: "Brother, although I didn't escape from Shunde Mansion, my family's ancestral home is indeed from Shunde Mansion." Brother, do you remember the ranking of your family tree? Grandpa or great-grandpa's name? ”

Grandpa nodded with tears in his eyes: "I only know Ming, Virtue, Righteousness, Benevolence, Ben, and Shou, and I don't know the back, and I don't remember the front." My grandfather's name is Wang Dexing! Grandpa's name is Wang Mingquan. ”

The grandfather cried bitterly, grabbed the grandfather's hand, and asked excitedly: "Then you are the great-grandson of the little uncle and grandfather in the fourth room, right?" ”

Grandpa replied with trembling hands: "Yes! I am a benevolent generation, named Wang Rende. What about you? ”

The grandfather knelt down suddenly: "My nephew is a native of my son, and my name is Wang Benhou, and Benhou kowtows to my uncle to say goodbye!" ”

Grandpa shook his body and couldn't stand up for a long time, so the uncle hurriedly stepped forward to help. Grandpa Tai wanted to pull Wang Benhou up, and someone next to him had already helped him sit down.

Grandpa Tai sank into excitement and excitement, and asked Wang Benhou: "I call my third grandson every year, and I will inquire about you by taking advantage of the convenience of running a business."

And I've been to my hometown several times, but I haven't found you, but why? How many rooms do we have left in our Wang family now? ”

When Wang Benhou heard this, he wiped his tears and chattered: "Uncle! We're all in the room! I haven't been able to find your third grandfather of the four heads of the house and the big house, and the grandfather thought that you were all gone, and when he died, he didn't close his eyes.

Now if we find the descendants of the third grandfather of the big house, the grandfather of the grandfather can close his eyes, and our family can be regarded as a complete family. ”

Grandpa Tai hurriedly interrupted Wang Benhou's words, and hurriedly said, "Here!" At! It's all there! When you're done, I'll go and get them all together for you to meet. ”

The grandfather over there said repeatedly, "Okay! Now it's really complete.

Ay! When my grandfather killed the Tartars in the family, he took my grandfather and my uncle, as well as the women and children, and went to the place agreed upon by everyone.

Who knew that everyone waited by the river for several days, but did not wait for the fourth uncle and grandfather and the third uncle and grandfather of the big house, grandpa Taizu thought that they were asking the tartar to catch up and kill, so he cried and was carried on the boat by the grandfather and the grandfather, crossed the river, found a remote foot of the mountain, and settled down.

Within a few years of settling there, I heard that the foreign court had been rebelled by the rebels.

Grandpa Taizu wanted to take his family back to his ancestral hometown, but who knows, there was another fight between the righteous army and the righteous army, and this fight was more than ten years.

When the new court is stable, and when we go back, the land and the house have already been occupied, and the government doesn't care if we don't come back or not.

We had nowhere to go, so we had to follow the migrants from the government to the next state capital and settle down.

As soon as Grandpa Taizu settled down, he sent people to inquire around to find you, before Grandpa Taizu died, he didn't explain anything, only one thing, he must find you, whether it is dead or alive, there must be a definite news, so as to stop and not look for it!

We are also looking for you, and our family has specially sent people to do business, so that it is convenient to inquire around.

After so many years, there is no news at all, and no one in the family thinks that you are still there!

How did the fourth uncle and grandfather get here? Why didn't you go to the agreed place? ”

Grandpa sighed, "Hey! At the beginning, the third grandfather and my great-grandfather killed the Tartar as agreed.

I took my grandfather and great-grandmother together and went to the agreed place.

But halfway through, my grandfather was sick, and because he was too young to hold on, my grandmother was reluctant to run forward, so she had to ask someone to treat my grandfather locally.

My grandfather saw my grandfather, took medicine, and took people to a remote place, intending to find a suitable place to settle down.

It is also because the Tartars have killed a lot of people, and the bandits from the mountains in front of them have come down to rob from time to time.

Therefore, the locals here are very desolate, dying and running.

My grandfather saw that there were a lot of fields here and they were fat, so he didn't want to run anymore, so he took his third uncle and grandfather to stay here and settle down and take root.

Later, after living for a few years, I felt better and better, so I wanted to pick up my grandfather and they also came to live, but after crossing the river, I couldn't find my grandfather and them.

My grandfather regretted that he couldn't take my grandfather over to enjoy the blessings. ”

The two old men hugged their heads and cried while chattering, and the juniors who followed behind, some knew the inside story, and those who didn't know the inside story listened to it in the clouds.

Grandpa's third grandson, but he secretly blamed himself in his heart, in the first few years, he could still seriously inquire and search, but then he was not so active.

Many times, when grandpa asked, he casually said that there was no news. The truth is, he didn't inquire about it at all.

After that, the grandfather and the grandfather over there gathered the two families with the surname Wang together and held the first family meeting of the Wang family.

I don't know what I said specifically, even if Grandpa Tai values Erya again, it is impossible for a woman to participate in the family meeting.

From Xiaohu's narration, Erya knows a rough idea:

At the beginning, the Han people were brutally ruled by foreign races, and the oppression could not be tolerated, so they issued a code call to kill the Tatars on Chinese New Year's Eve.

After killing him, he fled overnight to the south, where the Tartar forces were weak.

Several houses of the Wang family were separated when they fled, and now they are together again, and they have to wait for the drought to pass, repair the family tree, build the ancestral hall, and make the family field.

Erya was not interested in these, so she did not continue to pay attention.

Although Grandpa Tai wanted to let the Wang family come to live in Zhuangzi, it was a pity that there were too many people and it really couldn't be arranged.

The elderly, children, and women had to be arranged, and the young and middle-aged people had to continue to live in straw huts. (To be continued)
