Aunt Shi saw that they still wanted to listen, so she had to continue: "Their house is not the same as ours, it is tall and big, and there is a house underneath!" However, it is said that the house only keeps things and does not live in people.

The main gate of their house is facing the courtyard door, and people are sitting in the main house, and a person comes in the front yard, and he can see it clearly! There are no screens or headblocks at the entrance of the hospital! The wall of the home can also be lit on the fire, and the home is also warm and comfortable in winter!

Their children are born, but the full moon is the ninth day of the child's birth, which is called eating happy eggs!

The girl is married, all the female relatives of the female family still have to visit the "gatehouse" in a bright and bright way, but it is not a matchmaker's mouth, what she says is what!

However, there are also bad places over there, such a big place, there is not even a market, if you want to buy something, you have to ask someone to go to the county seat to buy it!

During the Chinese New Year, except for a table full of big fish and meat, a firecracker, and a relative, there is nothing left, no singing, no playing with lanterns, and it is deserted! It's not as lively as our house at all. cough

What's even more unbearable is that their family has a lot of water! That's really scared of death, I was shaking when I crawled out of the bed that day, and I shivered until the water receded. cough" Aunt Shi said that her mouth was very dry, the climate here in her home was too dry, and she was a little uncomfortable when she came back just now.

Aunt Shi's third nephew looked at her eldest aunt, "Cough!" After a few clicks, he hurriedly said: "Auntie! Rest for a while, I'll go home and pour you a glass of water! ”

Aunt Shi nodded hurriedly, "Go quickly!" Oops! I'm so! ”

The women around wanted to hear some strange things again, but they saw that Aunt Shi's mouth was really dry. Just keep silent and wait patiently for Reiko to go home to fetch water!

is also in the midst of suffering, Daddy Shi on the other side of the village is also talking about dry mouth.

"This ancestral tomb of the Wang family is about to smoke, and the Wang family over there has the official tea personally approved by the saint, as well as the thousands of acres of fertile land given by the imperial court, as well as their own school, and the cousins were also appointed by the government to the town. Dozens of miles of land! And the Wang family over there still has to come here to run workshops and schools, and this Wang family is about to be developed! At the beginning, Fu Xiaozi ruthlessly left the mother and son of the Wang family, but this time he has to regret his intestines! ”

Speaking of the Fu family, a person from the Fu family next to him asked, "Why didn't my niece and daughter-in-law come back with you?" ”

Father Shi smiled proudly: "The mother and son have fallen into the rich nest now, and her family over there is amazing!" Leave them behind. You have to teach the dog to read well, and you will be a big official in the future!

Wang Niangzi was over there, and she used to earn more than a dozen taels of silver by picking tea, and then she followed the weaving of clothes and socks, and she could earn hundreds of copper coins a day. Eating and living are still in charge of people, white rice, meat every day, eating and drinking well, and saving silver, life is beautiful! ”

Daddy Shi deliberately showed off with a hint of showing off in his tone, although he was not such a strong man, but he still had a great opinion in his heart about the death of Wang Niangzi, mother and son. At this time, I saw the obvious loss of the Fu family. It's a pleasure!

Someone asked, "I saw you come back with food, so will you still go and ask for food for disaster relief?" ”

Daddy Shi shook his head with a smile, "No! We brought back enough food for our family. I didn't go to the government to ask for food. They not only gave us food to eat, but also prepared seeds for us. When the water was heavy, they soaked the quilts and clothes we had brought with them, and they bought us new quilts and new clothes to bring back. ”

One of the people sighed, "Boss Shi! You are still blessed with life! At the beginning, we laughed at you for being stupid and drilling into death, but now only your family has come back. Who of us hasn't lost one or two! And that family almost didn't stay! ”

Daddy Shi looked at the sadness that the man said. He put away his smile and asked solemnly, "You just listen to me." So how are you doing? Tell me about it too! ”

Everyone else was silent all of a sudden, only the one who said that Daddy Shi was blessed sighed and said, "What else? We crossed the river. I thought I would be able to reach the beach soon, but I didn't know that it was still far away! Later, the price of grain became higher and higher, and the little money we brought with us could not buy much food at all, and within ten days and a half we had to live by begging. Sometimes they can get food that they can eat for several days, and sometimes they can't get a bite of food for days, so they go to the beach hungry like that.

There were also those who beat people, robbed money, and grabbed food, and some of the older ones, who were hot, hungry, and frightened, did not make it through, and died on the road. Finally, we stumbled all the way to the beach, and just as someone took us in, the government issued a document saying that the drought in the north had passed, and issued an order for us to return to our hometown.

Fortunately, when we returned, because the drought had passed, those who had left surplus food were willing to give alms to those of us who had returned to our hometowns to live.

We also told fortunes, and came back in a hurry, and many people heard that there was a plague on the road, and then there was no news, I am afraid that it is"

Daddy Shi sighed, "I don't see a lot of big brothers, are they?!" ”

A middle-aged man said: "Old generation, only Uncle Honest, Uncle Lao Pole and you are still alive, and the others are gone!" ”

Father Shi was silent, fortunately he listened to the words of the old woman and followed the mother and son of the Wang family, if he followed them, he would have died on the road early with a body like himself!

Here Mrs. Shi's granddaughter-in-law followed her husband and her two sons back to her parents' house, because the people in the Zhuangzi told her that her mother had looked for her many times, and she had to cry when she returned, so she didn't enter anyone's house in the Zhuangzi, and went directly to her mother's house a few miles away!

When her mother saw her daughter coming back, she thought that she was dreaming big again in the blue sky, so she ignored the girl who had already entered the door and continued to be busy with the soles of her shoes!

"Mother! Why have you ignored me? ”

Her mother endured the heartache, and replied in a low voice without raising her head: "Qinghui! Why are you bothering to tease me again, do you know that once you leave, how many days will my mother's heart hurt before it will be better?! "Qinghui is the name of Aunt Shi's granddaughter-in-law. Surname Meng!

"Mother! I'm back, and so are your two grandsons and Da Kui. Didn't you keep running to my house to find me? Why are you ignoring me now! Qinghui asked her mother loudly with anxiety and doubt!

Her mother heard the voice so earnestly that she had the courage to look up at the girl she thought about day and night. With a thirst for verification, he asked, "Are you really back well?" ”

Qinghui hurriedly took her mother's hand, rubbed it, and pulled her mother to stand up and turn around, pointing to Gou Yu, Ergou and her husband, and said, "Mother." Look! Has the dog grown a lot taller? Has the second dog also grown up better? Da Kui has also grown a lot stronger, right?! ”

Her mother looked at her with a smile and a big and a small one, the big one called her mother, and the small one called her grandmother, and now I really believe that it is the girl's family, and they are all back! She hugged her daughter violently. Crying loudly: "Qinghui! Why did you come back! Your father is gone, leaving our mother behind! You haven't even been able to see your dad for the last time! ”

Meng Qinghui noticed that the house was deserted, it turned out

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, the dog and the second dog, I didn't know what was going on, seeing the sadness of the mother and grandmother crying, they also howled.

Shi Mingkui (Mrs. Shi's grandson) watched them cry and stood aside helplessly. I don't know how to persuade them!

Fortunately, the mother-in-law stopped crying for a while, took her daughter's hand, and looked at her face and dress. He asked with concern, "Why did it take so long for you to come back?" How are you doing outside? When I heard that you went to a remote poor mountain village, you must have gone and never returned. I just want to find you wholeheartedly, but they can't say where to go, I don't have a direction to find, so I can only hurry! Good thing you're all back today! Otherwise, I'll be blind from crying one day! As he spoke, he wiped away his tears!

Qinghui wiped her tears. Choked up and replied to her mother's words: "We met Wang's sister-in-law, a clansman who fled to the south during the previous dynasty. Took us in, ate and drank well. It's all good! Originally, after the disaster, we planned to come back, but the grandfather of the Wang family over there left us for a few days, and waited until the crops were harvested before letting us come back with food and seeds. ”

Her mother was surprised and asked, "Have you encountered such a strange thing?" ”

"Yes! We didn't know at first, it was Wang Niangzi and her mother in order to find her, all the way through, and then called the people in the clan over, the old people on both sides chatted, and they recognized their relatives, and those who knew about it said that it was very magical! ”

Qinghui said and looked at the empty house again, and asked, "Why is the house so empty?" What about the younger brothers? ”

Her mother replied to her with heartache: "Everything that can be sold at home for money has been sold!" Your brothers went to the county seat to find a job to earn some money, and we can't even afford to live on food! ”

Mingkui asked his mother-in-law puzzled: "Mother!" Isn't there relief food? Why don't you pick it up?! ”

Qing Huiniang shook her head and sighed mournfully: "We are on the way, because your father didn't survive and went!" In order to bury your father, I delayed some time and came back late. The government has completed the registration of the victims, and the village chief has helped us ask the government for a long time, but there is no news, so we can only find a way to find food by ourselves!"

As soon as Meng Qinghui heard her mother's words, she knew that the family was already in difficulty, so she glanced at Shi Mingkui, and Shi Mingkui hurriedly said: "Mother! You don't have to worry about this, we have some silver on hand, and when the grain from the south arrives in a few days, I will buy it for you! Let's take a little bit of subsistence from my house these days! ”

Her mother's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "You can still leave the money when you flee abroad?" ”

Shi Mingkui was busy explaining: "When we went out to flee, we didn't have much money on us, and we had already used it up on the road. And there is the money that I earned.

Over there, the Wang family asked us to help with farming, road repair, and harvesting crops, and we gave 100 wen a day! In fact, I know that they are secretly helping their own family, and we are stained with it.

Qinghui and my mother, my milk is even more powerful! Qinghui helped pick tea, and earned more than a dozen taels of silver in seven or eight days, and they also knitted socks and clothes, and knitted a pound of thread, and they could receive a tael of silver wages, which was much easier than us to earn money! ”

Meng Qinghui glanced at her husband with some displeasure, patted his arm gently, and reproached softly: "How can you say that about the people in the south?" When didn't they treat our family equally?! In the future, don't say that our family is stained with the light of the Wang family in the north, otherwise the Wang family in the south will be chilled when they hear it! ”

Shi Mingkui scratched the back of his neck and said embarrassedly: "Hey! I know, I won't talk nonsense in the future, in fact, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that we have made a lot of money! ”

Qinghui Niang hurriedly pulled her son-in-law's sleeves and whispered: "You have money, but you must not talk nonsense, now every family is in difficulty!" When someone asks you to borrow money, what will you do? If you borrow one or not one, then you will offend people to death! ”

Meng Qinghui has lived in the south for two years, but she has learned a lot of ways to behave in the world, and she knows in her heart that what she should borrow will still be lent to others, and those who are unwilling to borrow are not afraid of offending people.

But her mouth echoed her mother's words: "Hmm! Got it! Mother! Don't talk nonsense! Shi Mingkui also pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he would not talk nonsense! (To be continued)
