Xiao Ju's family packed up their things, followed behind Patriarch Chen, and left the place where they stayed just now, and they all consciously ignored Ah Bao's family.

Because when there was a conflict with the villagers just now, the words that Grandma Zhou said had completely offended Xiaoju's family, and Liu Zhu didn't help Bao's family get anything at all, but led his own donkey and followed Xiaoju behind. As for Xiao Juniang, she didn't look at He Yuanyuan's pitiful eyes looking at her at all, and pulled Zhuang Zhuang by herself.

Seeing the attitude of Xiaoju's family, Old Man Jiang couldn't help but sigh, and stepped forward to pull his mother-in-law up, "Old woman, I don't know what to say about you!" If you can't twist it like this, our family will really be killed by you! ”

"You think I do! At that time, if I didn't put that scene aside, I don't think it would end well! Grandma Zhou took Old Man Jiang's hand and stood up without a good voice.

"That's what I said, but have you thought about it, if we really separate from that family, if we don't talk about anything else, we won't be able to solve it just by eating and drinking, and sooner or later we will starve to death! How can I go to Peking to see Wei'er? Old man Jiang said earnestly.

"It's all your fault, stay in Nanyang well, there is a relief porridge collar every day, you can always get through! Now it's okay, I don't even have to drink porridge! Don't think about asking me to apologize to that family.

When you were in Nanyang, you insisted on associating with this kind of lower riba people, saying that the situation at home is different from the past, and you are good friends with those people, and then there will be someone to help you if there is anything, I think your wishful thinking is wrong, and the family does not take you in their eyes at all! While packing up her things, Grandma Zhou said to Old Man Jiang quietly.

"You old woman, isn't it your bad thing? If it weren't for your crooked chatter along the way, would the relationship between the two families come to this point? That family is honest and kind-hearted, I thought that after making friends, I would make good use of their honesty and kindness, send our family to Beiping, and after arriving in Beiping, give each other a sum of money. It can be regarded as a thank you to the family. Then our family will be able to earn a good name. But now...... "Old man Jiang has some hatred, and he still doesn't realize that he is at fault with himself. Grandma Zhou with a black face.

"I didn't do anything, did I? Which of the servants in the family dared to give me a face before, this family didn't know what to do at all! I just told them to do more and take up the donkey cart! I'm an old woman, could it be that I have to wait for them along the way? Grandma Zhou said angrily.

"Alas, I'm too lazy to tell you! Yuanyuan, wait for you to look into the sky and beg that Sister Liu, as long as her heart is soft. We can be lazy with them anymore, you can bear with me a little longer, and when we find Wei'er in Beiping, we can say anything! Old Man Jiang didn't want to quarrel with his old wife anymore, and he also knew that she was a young lady who grew up in the palm of her father's hand, and after marrying him, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. As a housewife, how can she suffer such suffering now? In the past six months since she fled, it has been really difficult for her.

"Yes, Dad, I see!" Yuanyuan actually felt very strange in her heart, and her mother-in-law couldn't see the shape in front of her clearly, but there was no way. However, in some cases, it is really necessary for the mother-in-law to mess around, such as the situation just now. Otherwise. It's a bit of a headache.

The people of the Bao family muttered. Under the gaze of the middle-aged men who came with Patriarch Chen, they packed up their things tremblingly, and followed with some hesitation.

Xiao Ju followed the villager Patriarch Chen towards the depths of the mountains and forests for another distance, and only then came to Patriarch Chen, the foothold of the family, where there were people sitting in the dark. Someone saw Patriarch Chen coming back, stood up, stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, Chen Wen came to call you, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Ju carefully looked at the person who stood up and spoke, he was very young, he didn't look like he was more than twenty years old, he should be about one meter eight tall, he looked very thick and strong, his skin was dark, and he was a typical northern man.

"Nothing big! It's just that a few outsiders don't know that lighting a fire in the mountains and forests will expose our hiding place, which leads the people in the village to speculate a little. Patriarch Chen replied without taking it seriously.

Xiao Ju followed behind Patriarch Chen, and when she heard the questions and answers between him and the young man, she was relieved. You know, if these villagers are really suspected of being spies of those Japanese soldiers, it is really difficult to say.

After all, they are all unfamiliar faces, and they are from other places, and they can't find someone to prove their innocence. In this era, there are a lot of people who have died because of this kind of grievance, and you must know that in the past few years, the Japanese have really done a lot of angry things on the land of China.

Ordinary people are obviously afraid of Japanese soldiers with guns, but they are secretly unceremonious to the lone Japanese soldiers, and they hate those traitors and puppet soldiers who do things for the Japanese, and often secretly attack such people.

"Grandpa, how many of them are there?" The young man pointed to the Xiao Ju family who were honestly standing aside in some surprise.

"Alright! Little dogs, they are all such big people, and they can't change their mistakes, these people haven't eaten yet, otherwise they wouldn't think about making a fire to eat, and they almost caused trouble! Go and ask your mother to bring some dry food! Patriarch Chen stiffened his face and was a little unhappy, this little grandson is also twenty years old, and he is always so unstable, if there is anything in the family, how can he expect it?

Xiao Ju originally had a small face, but when she heard Patriarch Chen call out the name 'little dog', and then looked at the young man who was five big and three thick, she couldn't help but 'snort' and laughed.

And the little dog listened to Xiao Ju's laughter, and also understood what the other party was laughing at, his face turned red, and he glared at Xiao Ju a little stupidly, and reluctantly responded: "Okay!" Grandpa! ”

Patriarch Chen watched his grandson listen to his instructions and went to get food for Xiaoju and them. Only then did he turn to Xiaoju's family and said, "You guys sit down first, and you'll have something to eat later!" ”

"Patriarch Chen, then I'll trouble you!" Xiao Ju Niang said gratefully at the old man.

"Don't worry! In these years, who doesn't have a time to ask for someone in the family? You follow us with peace of mind, and when the Japanese soldiers are gone, no one will dare to stop you wherever you want to go! Patriarch Chen said.

"Grandpa, you are a good person!" Zhuang Zhuang, who had been holding Xiao Ju Niang's hand tightly, suddenly said such a sentence to Patriarch Chen.

"Oh? How is Grandpa a good person? Patriarch Chen looked at Zhuangzhuang's bright eyes that he could feel at night, and rose up to tease.

"If it weren't for you, we'd have been beaten to death by those guys! You saved us, so good guys! Zhuang Zhuang said what he thought in his heart seriously.

"Haha, so that's because of this, you think grandpa is a good person? Children are really simple-minded! Patriarch Chen was amused by Zhuangzhuang's words.

Xiao Ju Niang said a little embarrassed: "Old patriarch, how can a child's mind be so complicated, whoever is good to him is naturally a good person!" ”

"That's not going to work! You mother, you have to teach him, now some people are good to you, they are not good people, but want to harm you and take advantage of you! Just like those Japanese! But don't let your child be ignorant, and one day you don't know what you do to sell your ancestors! Patriarch Chen put away the smile on his face and said in a somewhat stern tone.

"Don't worry! This is still taught! Xiao Ju Niang didn't feel that the old man in front of her had taught her a wrong lesson at all, and replied very seriously.

"Oh, eldest niece, how did you escape from the famine?" Patriarch Chen's tone immediately changed, and he asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Old man, originally we fled to Nanyang and settled in Nanyang, but there were too many escapees there, and the relief porridge that was distributed every day was to be robbed, and in the city, we couldn't find anything, and it was difficult to beg for food, so I didn't have any way, so I went to your side!" Xiao Ju Niang's half-truthful explanation. Xiao Ju didn't expect that her mother would have such a quick wit, so that when she heard the treacherous old man in front of her just now, she was still afraid that her mother would tell the truth, who knows if this old man is greedy or not, and then new troubles will come again.

"Are you very strict with the famine? In the past six months, many Henan people have fled to our side! Patriarch Chen was silent for a while before he asked again.

"Yan zhòng! This is the strictest famine I've ever encountered in my life. After almost two years of drought, the drought year finally passed, and it was 'grasshoppers' all over the mountains again! Old man, you are also a farmer, and you also know how powerful these 'grasshoppers' are, the crops that were almost about to be harvested have all entered their mouths, and the family really can't survive, so they dragged the family out to find a way to live! Xiao Ju Niang's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her voice became hoarse.

"Alas, it's not easy to survive in this world!" Patriarch Chen listened to Xiao Ju Niang's words and sighed, at this time the little dog happened to take a large bag of dry food, Patriarch Chen took it and gave each person in Xiao Ju's family a little, Xiao Ju took it in his hand and saw that it was a fried corn tortilla.

"You're all hungry, aren't you? Eat! Let's talk while eating! Patriarch Chen handed the remaining tortillas back to the little dog, and stretched out his finger to the Bao family who were sitting a little far away from Xiao Ju's house, "Little dog, you give the rest to those people!" ”

Xiao Ju's family knew what happened just now, and they didn't want to deal with the incomprehensible Ah Bao family anymore, seeing that the other party was sitting far away, it was just what they wanted, so they naturally wouldn't call someone over.

And when Patriarch Chen was called, he happened to hear what Grandma Zhou said when she was crying, and he guessed the thoughts of the group of escapees who were currently divided into two sides, and at the same time, he was also a little contemptuous of the family who said that kind of thing, so naturally it would not be much trouble.
