Chapter 11: Returning Home
Su Qin pulled his children to hula and ran for a while, and only stopped when he was sure that Cheng Xiyu couldn't see them.
Yueyue looked at Su Qin excitedly: "Mother, do we really have silver?" ”
With two payments in just one day, Su Qin was in a very good mood, "Yes, there is silver." Let's go, my mother will take you to find someone to buy something to eat. ”
Zhou Zhou frowned, looking worried, "Mother, the second aunt will definitely find a complaint when she turns around." This silver ......"
"So we have to spend this money quickly, so that she will not leave."
didn't give Zhouzhou a chance to be verbose anymore, Su Qin took the silver and found a family that seemed to be in good condition and bought some dry food.
The other party looked at their orphans and widows, and there was no lion to open their mouths, so they sold some dry food to Su Qin at the market price.
But it's not cheap. A dinner for the mother and son cost 100 wen. In the impression of the original owner, one hundred wen can buy one or twenty catties of grain.
There is no way, food is as expensive as gold in troubled times, and it would be good to be able to buy it.
The next morning, just after dawn, the gates opened.
A large number of returning refugees rushed to the city.
Su Qin didn't go to join in the fun, woke up the two children, and touched their foreheads. The effect of the spiritual spring water is so powerful that after drinking it, it is okay to sleep in this open field for a night.
The dry food left over from the evening was used as breakfast, and when the refugees were almost gone, Su Qin put the burden on his back and led the two children into the city gate.
The scene in the county town is very depressed, the shops are all closed, and the streets are full of returning refugees in a hurry. There were also bursts of crying in many houses, and it was unacceptable to think that the losses were heavy.
Su Qin has been in a state of eating and waiting for death for a long time in her previous life, she has been to many countries with money and leisure, she has seen the survival of many poor, backward and war-torn countries, and the situation in front of her is not much better than what she saw at that time.
In her previous life, she was sympathetic to those refugees in the slums, but now that she has become such a character, she really doesn't feel good in her heart.
But fortunately, she has space, and there is space, and her survival is guaranteed.
Su Qin had confidence in his heart, and walked towards Xiaohe Village, where Cheng's family was located, with his two children.
Xiaohe Village is five miles away from Qifu Town, the village is quite large, living in more than 300 families, it is a mixed surname village, composed of Cheng, Zhou, Zhang, three big families, and several other small families.
The area of the village is also quite large, and it is several miles away in a circle.
It's the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the hottest time of the year, and under normal circumstances, it's the time when crops are growing wildly and farmers are looking forward to a bumper harvest.
However, due to the disaster, the crops planted in the field have long been flooded by weeds, and the harvest is basically out of harvest without thinking about it.
Xuanhe Mansion is located in the north, and can only grow two crops of grain a year, and the wheat yield in winter is not high.
But now there is no hope for the autumn harvest, and if you want to eat new grain, you can only wait until the early summer of next year.
How difficult it should be in this half a year.
Su Qin's heart sank for a while, once a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything.
She is alone with two children, so she must be more careful.
Su Qin took the two children to the village, and the mood of the two children changed significantly, and it could be seen that they were resistant to going home.
Many people had returned from the village, but all of them were sad, because the reality was worse than they had imagined. Not only was the food hidden by the family disappearing before they had time to take it away, but the houses were also damaged, and several of them were burned to the ground of ashes.
The Cheng family's house, in the middle of the village, was quite lucky this time, except for being smashed in some places, it was generally not damaged.
When Su Qin's mother and son arrived at Cheng's house, Cheng Yanping was in the middle of the old man Cheng reinforcing the courtyard wall.
Seeing Su Qin coming back with the two children, Old Man Cheng only glanced at them coldly and didn't say a word.
Cheng Yanping's four-year-old son, Cheng Dabao, was running and playing in the yard, and when he saw them, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma, those mourning stars are back." ”
Cheng Zhou was leading Li and Cheng Lianxiang to clean up the house, and when he heard Cheng Dabao's voice, he hurriedly rushed out with a broom, "Cheap thing, I still have a face to come back, see if I don't skin you!" ”
The incident the day before yesterday not only did not let Cheng Zhou's earn money, but also made Cheng Laotou complain that she didn't say anything, her daughter and daughter-in-law Li were injured, and she had to spend some silver to buy them some injury medicine.
When she thought of these things, she couldn't wait to swallow Su Qin alive.
The two children were so frightened that their little faces changed color, and they hurriedly hid behind their mothers.
Su Qin stood still at first, and when Cheng Zhoushi rushed over, he suddenly shook his body and fell straight towards Cheng Zhoushi.
Cheng Zhou's body is not high, and he has lost a lot of weight during the period of escape, and his body is empty, and he was smashed by Su Qin, and he took a few steps back suddenly, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and almost didn't fall off his back.
Before she could breathe her breath, she heard Su Qin howl at the top of her throat: "Xianggong, I finally lived up to your expectations and brought the two children back to Cheng's house alive." You have a spirit in the sky, and you must bless the two children to live peacefully in the Cheng family in the future. ”
Cheng Zhoushi got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Su, what are you crying about!" ”
Su Qin covered his face and cried loudly: "I cry my father-in-law and myself, father-in-law, why did you leave like this?" Do you know how the loved ones you protect with your life treat me and our children? Just because I refused to listen to their arrangement to marry in exchange for the bride price, they threw us mothers and children into the wilderness to die for our own destruction. How have we survived these days, have you seen it all in the sky? ”
Although Su Qin has a cold and arrogant personality, she learned a lot of "skills" when she was fooling around with those fox friends and dog friends, so she knows what means to use to deal with people like Cheng Zhou.
I just feel a little awkward.
The two children listened to Su Qin's words, and ran towards her crying. This time it wasn't fake crying, the two children were really frightened by the events of that day, and when they heard Su Qin mention it again, they were so scared that they hugged Su Qin and didn't let go.
Zhou Zhou cried and said, "Grandpa, grandma, don't leave us." In the future, my sister and I will be obedient, work more, eat less, and not make you angry. Please don't sell our mother, don't starve us to death, we will be obedient. ”
Su Qin affirmed the cleverness of this little guy, this kid is really a god teammate.
Originally, the people in Xiaohe Village were anxious, but when they heard the movement of the Cheng family, they still couldn't hold back their gossip and ran over to watch.
Old man Cheng listened to Su Qin's words, and saw that his neighbors looked at them with disdain in their eyes, and his eyes turned black with anger.
This eldest daughter-in-law, who couldn't smash a fart with three fists before, is now like a different person?
Listen to these words, one by one, like a slap in the face, all the way to the face. There is also the small one, which can also kill the living.
