When Father Shi heard his son's words, he also sighed and said: "Stone, you go out for a trip, and your heart is also wild, I'm afraid you won't be an honest farmer in the future, but we are all runaways, and it's okay to work for others secretly, but it's too difficult to open a factory, and the household registration alone is not something we can handle." ”

Shi naturally understands this, they are all fugitives, as long as they are found by the government, they will be sent to their hometown, and if he wants to build a state and open a factory, he must have a proper identity, at least he must obtain a local household registration, otherwise it is simply a fool's dream. It's just that although Datang's household registration management is not too strict, if there is no way, it is not so easy to get out.

However, Shi Shi is a character who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, so he is not discouraged, but still firmly said to his father: "Dad, isn't it difficult to do anything, just put aside the household registration first, I still work honestly for a few years first, and find a way while earning money, maybe I can get a household registration!" ”

Seeing that his son still didn't give up, Father Shi didn't say anything anymore, after all, he knew that his son had always been very assertive, and as long as it was something he believed, he would definitely try his best to give it a try, even if it was a great price to pay, he would not hesitate to do it.

The return of the stone brought great changes to the Luoshi Village, especially when the next day, the stone lady and several sisters, as well as the dunzi and the monkey and their family members were wearing new clothes brought back from outside, and they were also wearing some novel jewelry, which made the villagers of the Luoshi Village even more envious, especially those young girls. The eyes of the people who looked at the stones, piers and others were different, which greatly satisfied their vanity.

It was also from this time that it began. Many of the young people in the village approached them and hoped that they would go out next time. I can bring myself. After all, they all grew up with the stone since childhood, and now when they see the stone and they go out, they bring so many things to the family, so they are naturally envious, so they also have the idea of going out, and as for their family, they also have a supportive attitude towards this matter.

For these people's requests, they agreed without thinking about it, and they were not the only fugitives working outside. There are fugitives in other places, and there are often frictions between fugitives and fugitives because of some things, when they were outside, because there were only a dozen people, and they couldn't beat others in a fight, so they were bullied a lot, and now there are more people going out, and then everyone will form a group, see who dares to bully them?

Stone they are busy recruiting. He had been running around the village for several days, but after dinner that morning, he just wanted to go out, but was stopped by Father Stone: "Stone." Don't go out today, bring a gift to Nanshan, and you and Toon's business should be done! ”

I heard my father mention himself and Toon. Stone was also a little embarrassed. When he was the year before his year, he had already set up a family business. The woman's family lives in Nanshan Village, and her name is Toon. He went to see it secretly, it was a very smart girl, he should have married Toon a long time ago, but he sneaked away from home last time, and the family really couldn't get anything for marriage, so it has been delayed until now.

Marriage is a big deal, if it is placed in the ordinary family, it is necessary to hire each other with six ceremonies, but the life of the fugitives is hard, most of them can't even eat, so the ceremony of marriage is much simpler, generally speaking, it is also the first marriage, and then meet again before the two families meet to discuss the date and details of the marriage, and then carry the bride on the day of marriage, and then have a banquet, the marriage is over.

Since you want to go to Nanshan Village to discuss the marriage, then according to the rules, the stone father and son will bring a rich gift, these gifts are also considered to be the dowry when the wedding, absolutely sloppy, if it is placed in the past, the stone family really can't get a decent gift, but the stone brought a lot of things this time, after the stone father and mother sorted out, took out a cotton cloth, two new clothes, as well as ten catties of salt and eight bottles of canned food, in addition to some snacks and salted meat. Although these things may not seem to be worth much, they are already a very generous dowry for the fugitives.

Nanshan Village is in the south of Luoshi Village, where the situation is even more bitter than Luoshi Village, the village is surrounded by mountains, and there is no food to grow at all, but fortunately tea can be grown, but people outside bully them as fugitives, and the price of buying tea is extremely low, and there is not much food for all year round.

In order to feed the whole family, the men in Nanshan Village generally go up the mountain to hunt during the slack time, and all of them are good hunters, and the reason why the stone can marry the toon is that the father of the toon accidentally broke his leg when he went up the mountain to hunt, and almost died on the mountain. Toon's father was grateful for the life-saving grace of the stone family, so he married his daughter Toon to Shi, and the two families were married.

After all the dowry was moved to the stone's wheelbarrow, the stone father and son pushed the cart on the road, although Nanshan Village is not far from Luoshi Village, but it is not close, plus the mountain road is rugged, just walking has to walk for more than an hour, and when they arrive at Nanshan Village, it is almost noon.

Nanshan Village is located on a small hill, surrounded by low hills, and on these hills, there are patches of tea fields reclaimed, which are full of tea trees, and every spring, these tea fields are full of tea pickers, but unfortunately these tea fields are not enough to feed Nanshan Village, and men need to venture into the mountains to hunt.

Nanshan Village sells tea, so the road is in better condition than Luoshi Village, although it is also a dirt road, but it is paved with a layer of gravel, so even if it rains, you can walk normally.

Nanshan Village is poorer than Luoshi Village, and when you enter the village, all you see are rows of stone houses covered with thick thatch, and on the outside of the houses or on the roofs of the houses, there are all kinds of animal skins, and there are also many dried salted meat hanging under the eaves.

Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, most of the men in Nanshan Village are not at home, after all, they want to take advantage of this time to hunt in the mountains, and when they wait until the twentieth day of the lunar month, there will be people outside who exchange various daily necessities for animal skins, although the price is very low, but they will all rely on these hunting incomes for the New Year.

The village is full of women, these women have always liked to inquire about the east and west, for the son-in-law of the village, naturally many people recognize, and the things outside the stone have also been reported to them, so these women are also very enthusiastic about the stone, and they have greeted their father and son, but the result is that the stone father and son are a little embarrassed.

Passing through the streets of Nanshan Village, until I came to the easternmost part of the village, I saw the house of Shi's father-in-law, whose father-in-law was surnamed Tie, named Tieshan, was originally a famous hunter in the village, but unfortunately since that broken leg, although after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, one leg is still lame, and can no longer do life, usually at home.

Before the father and son reached Tieshan's house, the villagers had already informed Tieshan of good deeds, but when they were far away, Shi saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law standing in front of the gate, smiling and waiting to greet them.

Shi Dad saved Tie Shan's life, and the two families often move around, so when Tie Shan saw Shi Dad, he immediately greeted him happily, and Shi Shi also stepped forward to give his father-in-law and mother-in-law a salute at this time, and then in front of other villagers, he moved the dowry from the car, which attracted the envy of the villagers, after all, such a rich dowry is rare. When the Tieshan couple saw the dowry sent by the stone, they also felt that there was light on their faces, so they smiled even brighter, and hurriedly welcomed the stone father and son to the house.

Tieshan's family had a good life, but because of Tieshan's last injury, they spent most of their savings to treat the injury, and Tieshan couldn't go hunting anymore, so there was one less main laborer in the family, fortunately Tieshan also had two adult sons, but even so, the family also had a lot less income, which made the Tie family look a little shabby, and the animal meat and skins under the eaves were also less than those of other families, but today they also went out hunting, so Shi didn't see these two uncles.

The father and son were welcomed into the house, and the mother-in-law poured water on them and went down to cook and prepare the meal. The kitchen is next to the main room, and when the stone came in just now, he saw two young figures busy in the kitchen, one of them was Tie Shan's eldest daughter-in-law, and as for the other, although he didn't see his face clearly, the stone was already sure that the figure was his future wife Toon.

"Stone, last time you ran out secretly, but you have been worried about your father and mother for a long time, although you brought back a lot of things, but next time you want to go out, you must let your father and mother know!" Tie Shan first taught Shi a few words with a straight face. And the stone naturally didn't dare to say anything, just smiled and nodded yes.

Tie Shan's attitude towards the stone was not bad, so he didn't say anything, but began to discuss the date and details of the marriage with the stone father, and waited until noon, after the stone mother-in-law and toon put all the wine and food on the table, they discussed everything. Because life is not good, the Tieshan family is even more so, fortunately, the dowry gift sent by the stone includes canned food and salted meat, so it can be made into a few dishes, and it can barely be taken out to entertain people.

I saw that after Tie Shan drank a sip of home-brewed rice wine, he suddenly sighed and said: "Father Shi, fortunately Shi came back a year ago, if Shi doesn't come to marry Toon this year, then our family affairs will not be easy to handle!" ”

Hearing Tie Shan's words, Shi Dad was stunned, glanced at his son, and said puzzledly: "Brother Tie, what do you mean by this, is there any difficulty in the family, do you want to marry toon to someone else?" (To be continued.) )
