"Eh, wait, why don't I get more confused the more I listen......" Wei Sanniang hurriedly interrupted Hu Xiaomei: "You can buy a wheelbarrow to push things, what does this mean by taking a quilt, we are not going to go far away!" ”

"I'm talking about going far away! If it was really a mudslide, that thing was fierce and terrifying, how could the village still be able to stay, and everyone would have to go out and flee when the time came! ”

Hu Xiaomei's words were like thunder, which made everyone not surprised, but shocked!

Do you have to abandon your home and flee when the mudslide comes? Is it that serious?

Several people looked at Hu Xiaomei. Even Thirteen looked at her in surprise. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: We didn't talk about this in the afternoon!

Hu Xiaomei didn't make too much eye contact with him, explained the horror of the mudslide in detail, and finally said: "Dad, mother, even if the mudslide is not so serious, but you see what has become of this village now, this year there is no harvest in this field, even if I am afraid that the harvest of the things planted next year will not be much better." Besides, if we don't leave, what will we do if we encounter this kind of natural disaster in the future? Originally, we started a small business, and our lives took a turn for the better, but when we were made by this natural disaster, I am afraid that the little savings we have will not be guaranteed...... Daddy, don't you want to get out of this predicament? ”

"How can my father and mother not want to get rid of this kind of life, your mother and I are thinking about how to let the three of you sisters and brothers live a good life all the time, but my father is useless." Fox Otomo said guiltily.

"Now there's a chance." Fox Xiaomei said: "This is the choice given to us by God." We can go to a bigger place, such as Yangcheng. Or Wei County. We make jackets, and there is a contract with the sewing shop, and the sewing shop branches are everywhere. And after this natural disaster, I believe that the court will also relax some policies, we can go to other places to rent land and farm, maybe the rent will be cheaper at that time! I also know that it is not easy to make a living from home, but we have to fight together. If I can live in the city, my sister can find a better in-law, the junior can find a better school, and I can think of other businesses for my father and mother...... There's a lot of business that can be done here. In addition to selling bean curd. You can make tofu brains and fried stinky tofu, maybe we can rent a stall and sell some chaos or something......"

“…… If your father agrees. Let's think about it in the long run. As for this wheelbarrow. Even if we don't move out. It can also be used on weekdays, and you don't need to borrow other people's ox carts to make jackets in the future...... Anyway, food and other things have to be prepared whether they are carried or not......"

Although Hu Xiaomei's bold proposal is a bit unbelievable, it can be accepted by her explanation. However, they are reluctant to let Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang really move out of here, and let alone leave their roots and go outside, where can they go and what can they do? But things can be bought.

So the next day, the family prepared to go to the market. Fox Dayou went to buy a wheelbarrow, Thirteen and Eleven used to follow him, Fox Xiaomei wanted to see what he needed to buy, and second, he wanted to go to the sewing workshop to explore the tone of Wu's shopkeeper. And Wei Sanniang and Fox Fence also want to help, as for Fox Fence, he hasn't been to school for a long time, and he wants to go to the school to take a look. This thought made several people look at him more.

After a flood disaster, the fox fence turned out to be sensible!

After arriving at the bazaar, they went their own way, Fox Dayou and Thirteen went to buy a wheelbarrow, Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang went around to see if there were any cheap things to buy. The fox fence really went to the school, and as for the fox Xiaomei alone, she first walked around the bazaar, and finally went around the outside of the sewing workshop.

After the floods, there were many fewer people in the market, and most of them went to the food shops and flour shops. Rice has risen to twelve copper plates a catty, flour is five copper plates a catty, and even stale wheat has risen to three copper plates a catty.

The sewing shop was very quiet, only the shopkeeper Wu sat at the counter, Hu Xiaomei walked in, the furnishings in the store did not change, but the clothes and fabrics on display were a lot less.

Hearing someone coming in, the shopkeeper Wu hadn't raised his head before he had already greeted him: "Welcome......"

When she saw that it was Fox Xiaomei who came in, the words of welcoming the guests immediately became: "Ah, it's the second fox girl!" Sit down. ”

Then lifted the curtain and entered the back hall, Hu Xiaomei walked around the store, and found that there were indeed some clothes and fabrics missing, such as the gorgeous men's robe and elegant and unique women's shirt that I saw for the first time were gone, and some of the rich and beautiful fabrics on display were also transferred.

She sat down at the small table, and after a while, Shopkeeper Wu came out of the back hall, put a cup of tea in his hand in front of Hu Xiaomei, and sat opposite Hu Xiaomei at the same time.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

"I won't tell you that the shopkeeper Wu, it has been raining heavily for several months, the situation in the countryside is really bad, taking advantage of today's sunny weather, the road is also a lot drier, so come to the market to see, by the way, come to see you." Fox Xiaomei said.

"Ouch, it's hard for you to remember me!" Shopkeeper Wu looked shocked: "You don't know that the rain in the past few months has made people feel terrible, not only has it affected our business, but you look outside, preparations are being made everywhere for winter, and our store may not last long!" ”

Hu Xiaomei's heart jumped when she heard this, and said: "Yes, I came all the way from the street just now, and everyone was crowded in the grain shop and flour shop. Besides, now that the price of this grain has risen to meat, who of us ordinary people can afford it! ”

"We're old friends, let's be honest." Shopkeeper Wu looked at the childish face of the fox Xiaomei, and didn't dare to underestimate her at all, so he said with a heartfelt heart: "If you have the money in hand, you should buy some food now, if you wait another month or two, you will not be able to afford it." The price of this grain must go up. This flood has hurt the people, our shop has not paid a penny in the past few months, and a lot of silver has been posted every month. Even if this rainstorm passes, the lives of the people will not be able to recover for a while, and seeing that this winter is coming, it will only become more and more sad. Therefore, it is very likely that the owner will close the shop here at the end of the year. ”

Hu Xiaomei was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What about our contract?" ”

Shopkeeper Wu frowned and thought for a while: "Since our contract has been signed, it will definitely be valid, but if the sewing workshop moves away from Weijia Town, it may be a little difficult to find you to make clothes in the future." ”

What Hu Xiaomei wanted was the first half of his sentence, and then his words said: "I am relieved to have Wu's shopkeeper." I just don't know where the shop in Weijia Town will move after the sewing workshop ends? Let me tell you the truth, now that the fields are all destroyed, this year there is no harvest, and there is another landslide in the village of Lianghekou, and there is a high probability that an unexpected disaster will occur after the heavy rain for months, so I have already agreed with my father and mother that I will do what should be done in the next two days and find an opportunity to move to other places. ”

Shopkeeper Wu looked at Hu Xiaomei in surprise, and still didn't believe it: "You want to move out of Hujia Village?" Going somewhere else? ”

Hu Xiaomei nodded: "It's as sad to continue to stay in Hujia Village, it's better to go to a city that has not been affected by the disaster, maybe you can find a way out." ”

Shopkeeper Wu looked at Hu Xiaomei's eyes and immediately became strange, seeing that Hu Xiaomei was only fifteen years old, and she had such courage! Even a man wouldn't necessarily come up with such an idea.

But those who are not informal, far-sighted can achieve great things!

Shopkeeper Wu had already given a thumbs up to Hu Xiaomei in his heart, and his favor naturally doubled, so he said: "What you said is quite reasonable, but where are you going to move?" ”

"This hasn't been decided yet, maybe Yangcheng, maybe Weixian. These two places are the closest to us, and these two cities are well walled and have moats, so there is no need to worry about floods. ”

"Not bad." Shopkeeper Wu intended to help Hu Xiaomei, so he told her the differences between the two cities one by one: "...... One in the west and one in the east. There are 150 miles from Weijia Town to Wei County, and there are only 100 miles to Yangcheng, theoretically according to the speed of weekdays, it takes five days to reach Wei County, but it only takes three days to reach Yangcheng. As for the difference between the two cities, that is, the city is larger, the city is more prosperous, and the dignitaries and rich people abound. ”

With a lot of land and resources, it may be easier to make a living.

Hu Xiaomei had a number in her heart, thanked the shopkeeper Wu, and said her request politely: "...... Where can the shopkeeper Wu leave a message when the time comes, so that we can find it in the future. This year's winter weather is cold, and I believe that this jacket will sell better in large places. ”

"Okay." Shopkeeper Wu agreed without much thought.

After thanking the shopkeeper Wu again, Hu Xiaomei left the sewing workshop, and then went to the agreed place to wait for Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou. She didn't have to wait long for Fox and Thirteen to come over with a wheelbarrow, half-used and half-new, bought at a grocery store, and the owner seemed to be preparing to move, and was in a hurry to dispose of the contents of the store.

At this time, who could still care about buying a wheelbarrow, so Fox Dayou only spent fifteen copper plates to buy it. Originally, the boss also planned to burn that thing as waste wood, but now he can sell fifteen copper plates, and he doesn't feel a loss.

Then Fox Dayou saw a copper basin inside, which was also used by the grocery store owner and was not going to be taken away, and the three copper plates were sold to Fox Dayou, and Fox Xiaomei looked at it, it was quite cost-effective, lighter than the wooden basin, and it was cost-effective.

Wei Sanniang and Hu Lixiang bought some flour and five catties of grain, Wei Sanniang didn't plan to buy food, but Hu Lixiang persuaded her that if she didn't buy it now, it would be even more difficult to buy it at this price in the future.

Hu Xiaomei gave a thumbs up to Hu Lixiang, told Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou what she heard from Shopkeeper Wu, and took the opportunity to persuade them: "According to the situation of the grocery store owner who bought things from my father just now, I'm afraid I have to flee to other places." Even big owners like sewing shops have to move out, which shows that the current situation is not optimistic, and we must also plan ahead to ......" (To be continued. )
