Daddy Du took a large family to rush home, and many people dragged their families out of the county along the way.

There are many families like the Du family, they usually live in the county seat, although the county town is also home, they know that their roots are in the countryside, and that is the place that can shelter them.

At the gate of the city, I met a few families from the same village, a few families, you take me, I will help you rush to Dujia Village, turn the hill and see a lot of people standing on the road at the entrance of the village.

"Are you alright?" Grandma Du was helped by her fourth sister-in-law, Zhao Baozhu, to walk two steps briskly, standing in front of the car and looking at the children in the car.

"Are you okay at home?" At the same time, Father Du and Du Niang asked together.

When the earth dragon turned over, he was afraid that the house would collapse and hit people.

"It's okay, it's okay, when the ground moves, they work in the yard, and the children play in the street." Grandma Du saw that her children and grandchildren were fine, and she replied with a bad face: "The old house of Du Sanchao's family in the north of the village has collapsed, and the old couple is gone, you can take Da Lang Erlang to see it later." ”

Father Du was stunned for a moment, and then listened and watched his son and daughter-in-law pack up the things they brought back, planning to go over later.

The relationship between the two families is relatively far away, that is, the friendship of meeting and nodding, but if something happens in a village, everyone has to help.

In May, the fields had just been harvested, and every family in the village did not return home, so they found a plot of land in the nearby fields to sit.

Du Xiaoxi and several nephews were circled by Du Niang and ate some cold food to cushion their stomachs, Du Niang sternly asked them not to run around, Du Xiaoxi guarded a group of little babies for fear that they would be disobedient and make adults anxious.

In the middle of the afternoon, Du Sange also rushed back from the shop and brought back the news of the ground movement.

The Nanling Earth Dragon has turned over!

The villagers, who heard the exact news, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, fortunately, it's far from them.

In this era, there is no support from all sides, and they will give sympathy to those who are suffering from afar, but only sympathy.

Their own children can't eat enough, even if they can eat enough now, who can guarantee that they will be able to eat later, so people in the world would rather save money and food just in case, and rarely give it away for nothing.

They are afraid of disasters and of their consequences.

Nanling is far enough away from Shanshui County. I don't think the homeless people will come to them.

As if they had received good news, the villagers were much less afraid of the ground movement, and many people ran home to clean up their houses.

The shed where the Du family put firewood and miscellaneous items collapsed, but there was nothing wrong with the house. Second Brother Du took a few younger brothers to carefully inspect the roof. Du Niang took her daughters-in-law to clean up the dust.

Although the place where the ground moved was in Nanling, many people were still worried that the tragedy of Du Sanchao's family would happen, and the Du family spent the night in the courtyard that night, and only returned to normal life when there was no sign of ground movement.

"Mother, let's build a new house for our family!" On the second day, everyone in the Du family gathered in the hall and Father Du solemnly threw a big bomb.

Brother Du's face remained unchanged. Several sisters-in-law couldn't help but look at their respective family members with joy.

"It's been almost 30 years since our house was built, and the life of the family has been good in the past few years. Daddy Du saw Grandma Du's happy face, and then said the planning of the house and various places that need to be prepared.

The standard for collecting all kinds of taxes and conscription in the big business is based on the household, and of course, the fees charged by a family of fifty or sixty people are naturally different from those of three or four people. However, military service, conscription, and excesses and miscellaneous taxes are obviously much less than a few people, so many families are not separated even if they have four generations in the same house and five generations in the same house.

Daddy Du and Uncle Du's family is a typical division of property and separation, don't look at the two families have their own fields and shops, but they are still a family in terms of household registration. Because in this way, when you pay taxes for labor, you can pay less money for one person. However, when the two families have two more children, they will have to be divided into two household registrations, and when the time comes, they can lose one person's money by dividing the two families. In short, how to cost-effective.

The Du family has many sons, and when the sons grow up and become a family, the current house is definitely not enough to live, and Father Du has long wanted to build a big yard. Now, because of the ground movement, most of the old houses in the village have collapsed, and the back of the Du family's house has also cracked, and Father Du is even more determined to build a new house.

Father Du and his sons discussed the materials and the matter of the housing base, and Du Xiaoxi left the house after listening for a while and was not interested.

Du Xiaoxi was holding the small basket and was about to go out to play in the yard, Du Zhaodi and Du Congyang hurriedly followed, "Little aunt, where are you going to play?" ”

Du Xiaoxi raised the bamboo basket in his hand, "Xiaohegou, do you want to eat celery and fried meat at noon?" ”

Du Congyang ran away with a disgusted look on his wrinkled nose when he heard celery, and Du Zhaodi took two steps forward and said timidly: "Auntie." I'll help you with the basket. As he spoke, he was going to take the basket in Du Xiaoxi's hand.

"No, I'll take it myself." Du Xiaoxi carried the basket behind him, took Du Zhaodi, and slowly walked towards Xiaohegou.

"Eat sugar." Du Xiaoxi took out two pieces of toffee from his purse, peeled off the candy paper, stuffed a piece for Du Zhaodi, and ate one by himself.

Du Zhaodi secretly glanced at Du Xiaoxi and sucked the sugar cube in her mouth hard, it was really delicious!

Du Zhaodi is the only child of the second brother and sister-in-law, and as the only girl in the Du family's great-grandchildren, she should live well. But when she met Ma Hongmei, an extremely patriarchal mother, Du Zhaodi's life was not good.

Du Zhaodi has been living in a grocery store in the county with her second brother and sister-in-law, and she is far away, and Grandma Du and Du Niang only occasionally care about it, but in the past few years, she has been raised by her second sister-in-law to have a cowardly temperament, and the six-year-old child has been caught in the family. When Grandma Du saw it, she directly asked Du Zhaodi to stay by her side and not let her go to the county seat with her.

Now that more than half a year has passed, I dare to take the initiative to talk to people.

There are a lot of cress growing in the small river ditch. The two picked up the most tender one, picked a small half basket, and slowly walked home.

"Phew!" A long shout sounded, and a man and a horse stood at the door of Du's house in the distance, Du Xiaoxi squinted his eyes and still didn't see who hurriedly walked two steps with Du Zhaodi towards home.

Entering the door, a big monk was gulping tea.

"Why is Senior Brother Huai weak?" Du Xiaoxi saw the person coming and trotted forward and asked with a smile.

Huai Weak is the strongest and strongest of the thirteen disciples of Master Xile, with a height of nearly two meters, and his whole body is full of tight muscles.

Huai weakly put the bowl on the table, and said in a rough voice: "It just so happens that you are at home, Master is going to take us to disaster relief, hurry up and pack up our things, Master is already waiting on the boat." ”

"What?" Don't wait for Du Xiaoxi to ask the reason, Daddy Du exclaimed, "Disaster relief? Where is the South Ridge moving? ”

Huai weakly nodded disappreciatively, "Yes!" ”

"It's so messy in the south, what can I do with my daughter's girl's house over there? Little Master, tell the master not to let my daughter go! "Daddy Du really can't understand why he wants to take his daughter with him.

Huai Weak glanced at Du Xiaoxi, "Master is in a hurry, you hurry up." ”

Du Xiaoxi was puzzled why the master called her to go or nodded, "Senior Brother Huai, wait, I'll come right away." Although I don't know why Du Xiaoxi still decided to take a trip, although her master is unscrupulous, he has always been good to her, and he won't cheat her for no reason.
