Chapter 203: Gathering
Listening to Zhao Jinyan continue, the Li family understood why Cheng Xingmeng didn't come back with him.
It turned out that Cheng Xingmeng's wife wanted to help the youngest son of the family marry, but because the girl the youngest son wanted to marry was the only daughter of the housekeeper of Master Gao's family, although the woman's dowry was rich, the dowry they gave was first sufficient.
No, the little brother-in-law of her family looked directly at the house at home, and begged her good mother-in-law to sell the house for money.
"This" is so confused!
Li Shixin said that after selling the house, Jin Yan's mother-in-law did not hold the money in her hand, and after marriage, she had to face her daughter-in-law with a good family background, where could she still put her mother-in-law's score.
This is not clear to suffer!
"Mother, my mother-in-law, don't look at the top on weekdays, that's stupid, my little brother-in-law has a good mouth, but after coaxing a few words, he will sell the house with a shout," Zhao Jinyan said this, and then snorted disdainfully, "Right now, I just said that Changle County is not safe, and this is going to drive our Dafang family out,"
"But, mother, don't worry, I can't wait to be kicked out now," Zhao Jinyan said, still very happy, "Xing Meng also said, and he will come back when he finishes his errands, "Although the process is a little worse, at least they don't have to spend it in that house, it's good."
For Zhao Jinyan, the years of marriage have not been good, especially her mother-in-law, who has made her suffer.
It is enough for her to be happy to leave that home now, as for whether the house is a house or not, over the years, relying on the school opened by Cheng Xingmeng, they have also saved a lot of private money, and they are still short of that bit of silver, anyway, they are leaving, whether they can come back in the future or not, that money should be regarded as filial piety to the old lady.
Zhao Jinyan can think about it, which makes the Li family very pleased, thinking that his own daughter is still pregnant, and it is not bad to leave that nest of right and wrong.
However, in the end, it was the in-laws, and the other party's approach still made the Li family sigh, and they didn't expect that a good family would make trouble to such an extent.
"It's okay for you to come out, the rumors over there in Yangcheng County are coming out, it won't be long before I am afraid it will be chaotic,"
Li sighed, and while reaching out to help Zhao Jinyan into the house, he comforted his daughter in a low voice.
Fortunately, Zhao Jinyan really didn't say it, she really didn't care about being kicked out, don't look at the stomach she is still holding her stomach right now, but she is in good health.
took some snacks to let Zhao Jinyan moisten her mouth without anything, and Li Shi got busy.
Zhao Yinyan had nothing to do, and also joined the team to make food.
Because the family has hoarded a lot of food before the New Year, no matter what the Li family does at the moment, the raw materials are enough.
Li listened to Zhao Yu again, and started to make the kind of sesame cookcakes that were baked in a boiler.
Using a warm boiler, bake the palm-sized pancakes wrapped in the filling until the moisture in the pancakes is dry, the pancakes are browned on both sides, sprinkled with ground sesame allspice powder, and then put into a clean jar for storage.
This kind of cooking cake is delicious and can be left for a long time.
Li led everyone and worked for most of the day, baking almost two large jars of cooking cakes before he stopped.
Then, Li used some green vegetables such as radishes and pine vegetables left over from the cellar at home, pickled and soaked, and there was no waste anyway.
Including the vegetable patch in the backyard, this year's vegetables were not planted, but there are still a lot of those left over from last year that can be eaten.
On the evening of February 28.
Zhao Fuxiang came back, and when the family was about to get together, "The day is set, leave early the day after tomorrow, tomorrow, everyone will pack up at the end, go to bed early at night, recuperate enough, and leave early the day after tomorrow,"
"By the way, everyone flees, all prepare some wear-resistant clothes, we are all walking on small roads all the way, it is definitely not easy to walk, so we also have some clothes and shoes, and we can change them when they are broken,"
"Old woman, you take the rest of the family to continue to eat the hungry, the eldest and the second, you go to the back mountain tomorrow, cut some fresh grass to feed the mules and horses at home, and only when you are full can you have the energy to hurry, the third, you will go to the patriarch's house when the time comes, and take our brand," after all, they are on the road together, and there are dozens of families in Hulala, and there is no order.
Zhao Fuxiang arranged everything he could think of at the moment.
Everyone had no objection to this, and nodded their heads in response.
………
February 29.
The kitchen hasn't stopped for the past few days, and it's smoky all day long.
At this time, the two iron pots in the kitchen were full of grain, and Li Shi carried an iron spoon and kept stir-frying back and forth to prevent the grain from being mushy.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, the fire is smaller, and the grain is going to be mushy," Li said.
"Huh, eh"
When Liu heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly dragged the firewood in the stove out.
Lee's ......
Turning his head, Li frowned and looked at Liu, who was adding firewood, and then looked at Yuan and Cheng, who were picking vegetables next to him.
With a snort, Li rubbed his head, and knew that the three of them were worried about their mother's affairs.
Thinking that he was going to leave tomorrow, Li simply waved his hand and gave the three of them time to move, so that they could take the opportunity to hurry back and meet their mother's family.
"Second daughter-in-law, you can go in the family's ox cart," Yuan's mother's house is far away, so she can only catch the car.
The three daughters-in-law got Li's words and were busy taking action.
The first to come back was Cheng, whose face was not very good, and his eyes were red.
Li didn't ask when he saw it, after all, Cheng's father and mother are all from this village, and the two of them are used to being afraid of trouble and not adjusting, so it is estimated that the possibility of leaving with them is very low.
Sure enough, Cheng and Li spoke, and then took out the money they had saved and sent some of it to their parents.
No matter what you say, they are all their own parents, and now that she is leaving, she can only leave more money for the two of them.
In this regard, the Li family didn't say anything, anyway, what they gave was their private house, and she didn't participate in giving more or less.
It was Yuan who came back with him.
Unlike Cheng's depressed face, Yuan's face was full of spring breeze and smiling when he came back.
Because Yuan's maiden family all followed.
It was also a coincidence, before Yuan arrived at Yuanjiagou in an ox cart, he met Yuan's father and his party halfway.
It turned out that after listening to the news from Zhao Shanchuan, Father Yuan thought about it and brought the people from his family over neatly.
It's late now, and there are a lot of things at home, and those that can't be taken away have to be taken out, which delays the time.
The Yuan family has a total of three brothers, counting Yuan's father and Yuan's mother, and then two sisters-in-law and four nieces and nephews, and it took four carriages to pull people and things together.
"Dad, it's good for you to come, I'm still worried that you won't leave," Yuan took his mother's hand and happily talked to Father Yuan, who was driving the car.
"Hey, where can I not go," Father Yuan is smart, he is from Orion, and he will go to several surrounding counties every once in a while to deliver wild things, he has long felt that the situation in the city is not right, especially the big families he delivers, and there are a lot of family care homes employed, "If you want me to say, it's best to go now, and when it really makes trouble, we won't be able to leave." ”
Yuan nodded, and said in her heart that what her father said was right, but this is not the reason.
If the current rumor is boiling, and the people are all thinking about fleeing, they will be even more dangerous.
In this way, the Yuan family went out alone, but in a blink of an eye, he brought back the entire convoy, and the disturbance directly shocked the entire Shangwa Village.
Because Daddy Yuan came over with his family.
Li was not busy in the kitchen, so he called Zhao Fuxiang, who was still resting in the house, and the two hurriedly greeted him.
The in-laws met and greeted each other for a while.
Father Yuan can also be a person, and brought a whole cart of fur, meat, and mountain medicinal materials as gifts, which directly made everyone in the Zhao family accept them willingly.
Reciprocated the peach, Li saw that the other party did have a lot of meat, and told Yuan Lao Niang about some processing methods such as dried meat, dried meat, and enema.
While they haven't left yet, they can naturally do as much as they can, and for the rest, they have a lot of salt, and they can also marinate it.
Because they will leave tomorrow, Daddy Yuan's family will be directly settled in a few uninhabited rooms in the side room for one night.
Fortunately, Father Yuan also knew that the current situation was grim, and the family didn't pick and choose, and the two sides talked and laughed, but there was nothing dirty.
The last to come back was the Liu family, and like the Cheng family, Liu's father and mother didn't want to leave.
Unlike the Zhao family, the Liu family has always been the indigenous people of Xiawa Village, and they have lived here for many years, and their family businesses and industries are all here.
This is also the experience of the Zhao family fleeing before, otherwise if they were replaced by someone else, in the face of an unpredictable news, they would not want to leave with luck or disdain.
Not only that, Liu's brother and sister-in-law also persuaded Liu to stay.
"Think about it, what will happen to the house and the fields as soon as you leave? It's not that it's all cheap for nothing," Liu's eldest brother looked at his sister-in-law, and only felt that the Zhao family's family was not normal.
Liu explained, "It's not all gone, there are old people left in the clan, and the houses and fields are entrusted to the clan by their father-in-law," but they don't have much money to take, but it's not cheap for outsiders.
Then the two sides said a few more words to each other, but found that it didn't make sense, so they had to give up.
In the end, Liu had to leave some money for her father and mother in an emergency, and she was alone, rushing back in a hurry before dinner.
The dinner is all serious meat dishes, cooked, fried, steamed and fried, everything is not lost, and the meat is still the wild boar meat specially brought by Father Yuan.
After all, Daddy Yuan is a hunter, and the most important thing in the family is meat, because of this, the Yuan family is tall and strong.
Not to mention, with the addition of the Yuan family, Zhao Fuxiang is more assured of his own safety.
Thinking that tomorrow will have to endure hardship, Li's meal is very heroic, not only the meat is fat and large, but the ingredients are only a lot more.
In doing so, it directly led to everyone eating dinner.
The meat dishes are delicious and hungry, everyone can eat vigorously, and in the end, regardless of adults and children, everyone eats to support their stomachs.
There are those who go overboard, and they even have to hold on to the edge of the table to get up.
It wasn't until it was dark outside that everyone went back to sleep.
