Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Close-Up 'Landscape'
Xiao Ju saw that He Yuanyuan, Old Man Jiang, and Grandma Zhou all had a hernia on their faces, and when He Yuanyuan expressed his humility, the look on his mother's face was still not very good.
Alas, as long as it is not related to her and Zhuangzhuang, my mother is very good at talking. As long as she and Zhuang Zhuang are involved, it will become a special calf protector, otherwise when Hu Daring wanted to sell Zhuang Zhuang for Hu Daring, he fought with Hu Daring and almost became a crazy woman due to a head injury.
Xiao Ju looked at her mother's expression and knew that she was really annoyed, so she said: "Aunt He, isn't it that everyone didn't expect that the villagers of Huaishu Village in that township would treat the victims who came to ask for help like this?" From this incident, it seems that those of us who fled the famine may be ostracized by the locals along the way, and we should pay careful attention along the way! Don't cause irreparable consequences because of a momentary negligence! β
"Xiaoju is right, we won't enter the village along the way, as for Bao's food, we will make a simple stove in the suburbs, and use the pot to make some paste to solve it." Old Man Jiang nodded in agreement.
"It's always possible to solve these miscellaneous things, but I left in a hurry last night, and I haven't discussed with you how to go to Beiping! Grandpa Jiang, what are your good thoughts on going from Nanyang to Beiping? Xiao Ju didn't say the route she had considered last night. Of course, there is also the taste of Bao's family in it. She knew that the other party was using her family, and she could use it, but she still had to have a bottom line.
"Xiaoju, to be honest, the farthest place I have gone to in my life is Zhengzhou City, Beiping or my son went to study, I only knew this place, I don't know how to go from Nanyang to Beiping!
Originally, I thought that I would take a few people from my family to escape to Zhengzhou first, then transfer to Luoyang, and then take a train from Luoyang to Beiping! But because I didn't know the way, I followed the other escapees, and I didn't know what was going on, and I came to Nanyang! Old Man Jiang sighed and briefly explained the experience of how to get to Nanyang.
"Yes! The main thing is: Chrysanthemum. We don't even have the money to take the train now, and we have to walk to Peking on two feet, which makes me worry when I think about it! But the old man and his daughter-in-law both want to go to Beiping to find Awei, but they can't stop it! Grandma Zhou hugged Ah Bao and sighed, "It's just that I pity Ah Bao, I was taken around at a young age, and I couldn't even eat the hot mush." β
And Old Man Jiang and He Yuanyuan listened to Grandma Zhou's complaints. also looked at Ah Bao with some distress, but the careful thoughts in the hearts of these two people were not easy to say in front of Xiaoju's family, so they just sighed.
"Since this is the case, then according to my family's idea, I will find a way to walk to Xiangyang City first, and then find a way to go to Wuhan after resting for a few days! As long as you get to Wuhan. It should be easy to do! "Xiaoju can't confirm whether there is a direct train to Beiping in Wuhan now, so she didn't say that she would take a train to Beiping when she arrived in Wuhan.
"Good! Good! Just do what Xiaoju says! Old man Jiang listened to what Xiao Ju said, and he was overjoyed, he knew that this family was not simple, even a little girl had rules and regulations for doing things, and following this family was definitely better than living in the cemetery in Nanyang.
It's just that my wife has no vision. I'm always complaining there. If it's really as she says it is. Stay in Nanyang, and you won't know anything. In his opinion, sooner or later, the old and the young will starve to death in a heap.
"Let's find a vacant lot on the side of the road first, light a fire, and make some paste for Po to eat! As for us adults, my mother prepared some dry food last night, let's deal with it first. Xiao Ju looked at the Bao family, who had not prepared anything and did not have any plans, and sighed in her heart.
It seems that along the way, I have to be responsible for the food, drink and Lazar of four more people, as well as the cost of going to Beiping. I only hope that after arriving in Beiping, Mr. Jiang's son will be promising, otherwise, she will not be able to get rid of this family when she arrives in Beiping, and she will lose a lot at that time.
Soon, Xiao Ju made a little arrangement for the affairs that the personnel were responsible for, Liu Zhu was responsible for asking for directions along the way, determining the correctness of the walking direction, and arranging three meals a day to cook and set up a shed at night, of course, because he was the only one who was a strong laborer, and the tricycle was also pushed by him.
Xiao Ju Niang and He Yuanyuan are responsible for getting food, Old Man Jiang and Grandma Zhou are responsible for taking care of Bao, and as for Xiao Ju, they are in charge of the overall affairs, and they look strong. For Bao's family, this arrangement is simply a big advantage for them, and they almost don't have to worry about anything, as long as they follow Xiaoju's family along the way. Even Grandma Zhou, who has been a little dissatisfied since she came out of Nanyang, no longer squeaks now.
Although after Xiaoju's arrangement, Bao's family saved a lot along the way, but because their family is either old or young, and they haven't had a full meal for more than half a year, not to mention that they used to be pampered at home, so they are naturally not as good as Xiaoju's family.
In addition, because winter has not yet passed, there is either snow or strong wind along the way, and the two families have not walked ordinarily hard. After only ten days on the road, Grandma Zhou complained again, complaining that Old Man Jiang and his daughter-in-law didn't care about Ah Bao and her life or death, so that she was so old and Ah Bao was so young, but she had to suffer this kind of crime.
In fact, along the way, the food for three meals a day was covered by Xiao Ju's family, and they didn't ask their family to do anything about building a shelter every night, Liu Zhu did it all by himself. Compared to fleeing from home to Nanyang, Bao's family is already in heaven.
He Yuanyuan and Old Man Jiang were both glad in their hearts, the idea of gambling that night was really the right bet. As for Grandma Zhou's nagging, these two people didn't hear it.
In fact, Xiangyang is not very far from Nanyang, and according to the speed of Xiaoju's family, it is only half a month's trip. But because of Bao's family, the more than 100-kilometer journey took almost two months to arrive in Xiangyang.
Grandma Zhou's dissatisfaction along the way made the good-tempered little Ju Niang start to be unhappy, and these people in her own family almost covered everything, and also covered all the food and drink, but along the way, Bao's grandmother didn't have a good face, as if she owed her. Later, she was called Liu Zhu for something, as if Liu Zhu was her family's servant. didn't answer her in time, and put on an unhappy face.
Xiao Ju Niang and Xiao Ju muttered a few times in private, Xiao Ju had already seen this situation in her eyes, and even Old Man Jiang and He Yuanyuan began to have a bit of a superior temper, and from time to time they also put on a pose that when they arrived in Beiping, they would return to their previous lives, and Ah Wei would reward Xiao Ju's family at that time.
Completely forgot about themselves, and the family still relied on each other to live at this time! It seems that some people, no matter what kind of situation they come into, they still don't put themselves in their actual position in reality. This kind of person will soon be eliminated by society. What's more, when you get to Beiping, who knows what the actual situation will be?
After only a short journey together, Xiaoju decided to take the family to Beiping, and then they would separate and never see each other again. Originally, I thought that when I arrived in Beiping, we could take care of each other! Judging from the current situation, how naΓ―ve her initial idea was. This is true in times of trouble, let alone wealth!
When he was in Nanyang, Ah Bao's family couldn't survive anymore, so they had to put their bottom up and come to show favor and deal with people like them, but if they arrived in Beiping and found Ah Bao's father, the identities and status of the two families were immediately very different.
In this day and age, how could a rich old lady make friends with the lower riba people in their eyes? Xiao Ju has seen the essence of his heart through the mentality of each member of the Bao family during this journey. Xiao Ju felt that in the future, she should correct the idea that everyone in the previous world was equal, and don't make this kind of similar mistake again!
After arriving in Xiangyang, the two families set up a shelter on an empty flat not far from the village, close to the water source, and not far from the official road, and rested for a week. Mainly because Grandma Zhou couldn't stand it and couldn't walk.
This week, Xiao Ju took Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu to a nearby village for a walk, and then spent a lot of money to buy a donkey cart from a farmer, mainly because Xiao Ju couldn't stand the snail-like speed of Bao's family, plus after such a period of getting along, Xiaoju's family and Bao's family, many things were out of tune, which made Xiaoju's family feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Ju's heart to get rid of Ah Bao's family is getting stronger and stronger at this time, in order to speed up the hurry, in desperation, Xiao Ju spent money to buy this donkey cart.
When Xiao Ju, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang returned to their residence in a donkey cart, Grandma Zhou and He Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly. Especially Grandma Zhou, without saying a word, when she asked to hurry, she had to take a donkey cart on the grounds that she was too old to walk.
And although He Yuanyuan didn't say it explicitly, he said to Xiao Juniang: "Sister Liu, although my family is so small, it is enough to choke on such a long road!" β
Xiao Ju Niang was a little embarrassed, according to her thoughts, of course her own children were going to take a donkey cart, and she and Liu Zhu didn't care. But if Bao's family all sit on the donkey cart, at most one more strong, then the donkey cart will be full, so what about Xiaoju?
Xiao Ju stood aside with cold eyes, looking at the unceremonious Grandma Zhou, He Yuanyuan, who pretended to be weak and pitiful, and the old man Jiang who looked uncertain and didn't know what to think. In the end, I couldn't bear to embarrass my mother, and the purpose of buying a donkey cart was to speed up and rush to Wuhan before the Spring Festival.
"Mother, I don't ride a donkey cart! You let them sit! Xiao Ju glanced at Bao's family coldly. Old Man Jiang and He Yuanyuan bowed their heads a little ashamed under Xiao Ju's gaze. But he still didn't want to give up riding the donkey cart. It's a big deal to get to Beiping, and compensate Xiaoju and Sister Liu well. (To be continued.) )
