Under normal circumstances, Xing Baocheng, as the head of the family, no matter what he said, whether what he said was right or not, as sons, Xing Daping and the four brothers had to listen honestly. [No pop-ups]

But this kind of truth is okay in good years, but in the late Ming Dynasty, when famine was everywhere, displaced people were everywhere, and survival was completely insecure, all the original truths were no longer reasonable.

Just like if the people under the emperor's rule cannot have food and clothing, then he should take responsibility and infamy, and cannot ensure the food and clothing of his family, the so-called head of the family, the so-called parents, will not be able to live up to the name.

So Xing Daping listened to Xing Baocheng's words quite disapprovingly, and he said to Xing Baocheng:

"Dad, what kind of years are these now? Some of them have to be eaten quickly, and some of them have to be worn quickly. The year before last, the people of the next village fled the famine. The year before last, how many people starved to death in our village. In these years, if you have food in your hands, hurry up and fill your stomach. Maybe I won't be able to save my life at any time. You're still talking about what you can't move. Besides, Xing Laocai's whole family has confessed, where did his relatives pursue us? ”

Life has been getting worse and worse over the years, and Xing Baocheng is also accustomed to his eldest son's resistance. So he said to Xing Daping very seriously:

"Or you still don't know anything. The family of the eldest grandfather Xing can have a name and surname in Qixia County, and that is because the second lord of the county government, the county grandfather, is the nephew of the eldest grandfather. People rely on the government to wait for the day when the descendants of the Baath Party are gone, and the second master of the county sends a messenger to take back the things, who dares to repay the debt."

When Xing Daping heard this, he immediately said to Xing Baocheng nonchalantly:

"Dad, you are really, the brothers of the Baath Party have told us that they are from the county seat. The county seat of Qixia has long been beaten down by the brothers of the Revival Party. What county order county or something, they all hanged their brothers of the Baath Party like Mrs. Xing's family. What are you still thinking about here?"

Xing Baocheng listened to his eldest son's words, and his heart chuckled. Xing Baocheng, who has read the book, knows that the county seat was beaten down, but it is not an ordinary trivial matter. Although it is very common for the mountain king to rebel and pull the pole, there are not many who can knock down the county seat.

Thinking of this, Xing Baocheng became more and more panicked. After the county seat was laid, this is a matter of rebellion and turning the sky upside down. Sooner or later, the Baath Party's King of the Mountain will leave, and if the imperial court sends a large army down, it will be a catastrophe immediately.

Thinking of this, Xing Baocheng became anxious, and he immediately said to Xing Daping:

"Don't stay at home, I don't know what this land is like yet, and I don't have a place to work. You go and ask the Baath people if they buy the land. ”

Xing Baocheng's words were so abrupt that Xing Daping was stunned for a long time before asking:

"Dad, what are you doing here? It is true that the land of the eldest grandfather's family has been taken away by the Baath Party, but the Baath Party can say that the original people in this kind of land still use it now. And now people don't charge land rent and exempt the imperial grain, as long as they follow the head and do the work in the field well, they will have money and grain every month. My second brother and I have already signed the long deed. I'm coming back to talk to you, and my second child and I won't be living at home from tomorrow. ”

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Xing Baocheng could have maintained a general calm, but now that he listened to his son's words, he jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Seeing that his father was angry, the youngest Xing Siping was a little scared. But Xing Daping, Xing Erping, and Xing Sanping, who have a lot of grievances in their hearts, have nothing to fear of their angry father.

Xing Daping was not afraid at all when he saw his father getting angry. He said to Xing Baocheng:

"I don't know what kind of person my dad is. The poor in the family have fallen to the bottom, and you are still poor there. The Ba'ath Party has food, drink, and money to take, and if I don't vote for the Ba'ath Party, I still don't know when I will starve to death with my brothers. Anyway, my second brother and I have already pressed the handprint. The third and fourth are young, but the brothers of the Baath Party also accept it, but they don't work like us, but they have to study with others. I've already registered the third and fourth children, and in a moment someone from the Baath Party will come and send money to my father. ”

Seeing his eldest son watch him calmly finish these words without fear, Xing Baocheng felt chills all over his body. After the criticism meeting, Xing Baocheng and his wife came home first, but it was just a stick of incense, and the four sons who didn't come back with him all voted for "anti-thieves".

Unlike his sons, who have never read a book, Xing Baocheng knows that his family is completely unlucky at this time. and the thieves pressed their handprints and drew a charge, and their own family became thieves, and the court would not let go of their family.

Thinking that the thieves of the Baath Party would soon come to his house, Xing Baocheng was desperate in his heart. He silently pushed his son away and left the house without saying a word.

There are not many people like Xing Baocheng who know what rebellion is and which one is the imperial court.

At this stage, Xing Baocheng may be the only one left who knows these concepts. The rest of those who understood these concepts were all people who lived in the courtyard of the Grand Grandfather Xing's house, and they either died early at the guns of the Baath Army soldiers, or they were hanged on the gallows at the public trial and criticism meetings, and the others were also captured by the Baath Party and were on their way to the concentration camp.

So except for Xing Baocheng, who was full of despair, the other families in Xing Gezhuang were all in a happy atmosphere. The grain of the big landlords in Xing is quite serious, and the Baath Party has given each person a large bucket of wheat according to the head, and now in Xingjiazhuang, every household is grinding wheat and preparing a good meal to eat a rare full meal.

In today's world, the idea of "there is no tomorrow if there is a today, and when you get food, you should quickly fill it in your stomach" is the most common and true idea. The common people don't care who is in charge of the house, they have no concept of those in power, the Baath Party has given them food, and the Baath Party is a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

As for whether the Ba'ath Party is a rebel king or a living sky that is the master of the people. These things are better to fill your stomach and save your life, and then think about it.

So Xing Baocheng walked around the Zhuangzi for a long time, and he didn't find anyone who could discuss things. Smelling the aroma of white-flour steamed buns emanating from Zhuangzi, Xing Baocheng's stomach also began to growl.

Seeing his wife who ran out to find him to go home, Xing Baocheng thought to himself: Forget it, anyway, as soon as the army of the imperial court comes, no matter whether it is good or bad, Zhuangzi will die. One day counts as a day, and don't think about those useless ones.

Thinking of this, he said to the Xing Wang clan who came to him:

"Let's go back and steam big steamed buns to eat. My mother has never eaten steamed buns a few times in her life, so count me as filial piety."
