Chapter 16: It's Time for the Boy to Shelter You from the Elements!

Han Cheng's dream of being a salted fish has not been realized for the time being, because even though Han Xiao loves his son very much, he does not dare to hand over the only life-saving money left in the family to his son to take this risk.

What's more, these only remaining life-saving money are still borrowed.

In addition to these factors, there is another important reason that Han Xiao is not at ease with Han Cheng doing this.

Although Han Cheng seems to have grown up all of a sudden in the past few days and has given Han Xiao enough surprises, making and selling salted fish in the county town is too dangerous and too difficult compared to just catching fish, cooking, and hoeing grass in the village.

After arriving in the county town, he will encounter many people and things, not to mention, just these dozens of miles of road are enough for Han Xiao to worry about.

This fear implies the fear of farmers who have never traveled far in this era to leave their place of existence and go to an unfamiliar big city.

Moreover, the thinking of most people in this era is still stuck in the point of taking care of these places at home in exchange for all the means of subsistence, and it is still deeply rooted.

In addition, there is also the traditional cognition of Shinong industry and commerce, and this cognition has been further consolidated.

It's just that unless it is a landlord class with thousands of hectares of fertile land, ordinary people, even if they are exhausted to death in the fields, it is difficult to take care of food and clothing.

"Mother, you can't just farm. Over the years, you still have people in the village, who hasn't been busy in the fields early in the morning? I can't wait to do nothing, just tending to the crops in the field...... is so diligent, but how are the people in the village living?

Which family has taken care of food and clothing? It's not all about tightening your belt, and if you can eat more wild vegetables on weekdays, you will never eat food......

On weekdays, you can barely survive without anything, but once there is a small disaster, the family can't sustain it.

Mother, even if we don't eat or drink this year, all the food that falls has been exchanged for money, and it is not enough to pay back the money of Chen Lichang's family

Once the money is not paid, our land ......"

When Han Cheng said this, he looked at the land of his own family, and then looked at the land adjacent to his own family, the land of Chen Laojiao's house that was almost invisible, and sighed and stopped talking.

Although it is not easy in all walks of life, relatively speaking, it is even more difficult for farmers, even if they are tired and tired in the future life, it is not easy to live a small and prosperous life, let alone now.

"Cheng... Cheng'er, what you said is true? If... If you can't pay the money, then ...... Then Chen Lichang will really ...... Will you want our land? ”

When Han Cheng talked about the hard work of the people in the village over the years and the living conditions that were not proportional to them, although Han Xiao's heart was touched, he could still maintain his composure in general, after all, everyone had come over like this for so many years.

But in the end, when he heard Han Cheng mention that he couldn't pay back the money, and the land in his family was likely to be unsafe, the whole person panicked all of a sudden.

This piece of land is what their family depends on for survival, in order to get this good field when the field was divided, Han Cheng and his father didn't bother to put in the effort, and they built a lot of hoes and other tools for the Chen Lao family, which can be regarded as a good land.

If you can't pay back the money, this piece of good land is taken away by Chen Lao, then ...... Then there is really no way to live this day!

Throughout the ages, what can affect the hearts of farmers the most is the land on which they live, and it is not surprising that Han Xiao has lost his temper to the point that he can't speak well since he heard this possibility from Han Cheng.

"It's... This land is divided by the government, and you... Your grandfather is just out to serve, and Chen Lao doesn't dare to move here! ”

Without waiting for Han Cheng to speak, Han Xiao's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth again, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and his tone was heavier, as if he was saying it to Han Cheng, and it seemed to cheer himself up.

Han Cheng sniffed and sighed secretly, if he didn't dare to move, how did the Chen family get so much land?

Even if he is the chief, when he first divided the land, he couldn't divide so much at once!

Moreover, this piece of land of the Han family faces the road in the south, and the east and north are the land of the Chen Lao family, which is equivalent to being semi-surrounded by the land of the Chen Lao family.

In this situation, Han Cheng himself stood on Chen Lao's side and thought about it, and he felt that it was a bit of an eyesore, not to mention Chen Lao's picking.

In addition, in later generations, Han Cheng was a cook who liked history as a soldier, and he had a certain understanding of the land annexation of previous dynasties, and knew what those people could become in order to annex the land, so he was very sure of saying such a thing this time, and it was not simply to make Han Xiao feel the crisis, and then agreed with him to make salted fish.

Han Xiao said that it was impossible, but after a while, without Han Cheng opening her mouth more, she herself became depressed, and her eyes were full of despair.

She didn't think about this aspect before, but when Han Cheng mentioned it at this time, she also reacted completely, remembering that many places in the east were not from the old Chen family, but now......

"Mother, don't worry too much, there are still several months before the autumn harvest when the money is completely paid off, and the child is sure to earn the 5,000 yuan during this time!

Mother, in the past, you always sheltered the child from the wind and rain, but now that the child has grown up, it is time for the child to shelter you from the wind and rain! ”

Han Cheng looked at the depressed Han Xiao and said seriously.

Han Xiao, whose heart was like falling into an ice cellar, heard his son's words, with a smile on his face, and tears rolled down uncontrollably......

The sun is getting slanting, and Han Xing, who has been in the wind and dust all the way, came to the village with a lot of pickled fish on his back.

"Xiao Xing, where did you get all these pickled fish?"

An old woman sitting under the tree at the entrance of the village asked in surprise with cloudy eyes.

"My little brother caught it, let me bring it back to the family to eat......"

Han Xing wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile, she couldn't hide the happiness in her heart.

"Ao, Ao, your little brother is out of breath, and he can catch so many fish."

The old woman said with great admiration, containing a deep sigh and envy.

"Aunt Eight, remember to come to my house to eat fish soup later!"

Han Xing greeted happily, hearing someone praise Han Cheng, which was happier than being praised herself.

"This sister-in-law, it's been a few days, and she hasn't come back yet, isn't that waste brother in his family dying without being saved?"

In a courtyard in the village, a man who was older than Han Cheng and was almost an adult said with a frown.

The man was dressed neatly, and his clothes were new, very different from the tattered clothes of most peasants at this time.

"It's good if I die, and my sister-in-law will run to her mother's house all day long! Every time I go back, I have to bring back something from our house, and this time I brought back a few scoops of wheat, which makes people angry just thinking about it, brother, how do you discipline your sister-in-law?! ”

The young man said with some resentment, looking at the other man who was there bare and chopping firewood, his brows were still wrinkled, and although he called his brother in his mouth, he did not mean any respect......
