This year passed so quietly and quietly, Tian's father and Xie's prepared New Year's money for a few children as usual, and Liao Shu also had it, and Xie handed it to Tian Youwei for her to take it back quietly.

After eating, Tian Youwei opened her mouth: "I have something to discuss with you. Now that the family is like this, the share given by the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller, and it is difficult to continue, I want to temporarily close the kiln, let's buy another house and move to the capital. ”

Father Tian's face immediately changed, and he was the first to object: "I won't go to the capital, you guys will be busy by yourself, and I can take care of the affairs of the kiln." ”

Xie pursed his lips and gave Tian Youwei a look, but didn't speak.

Tian Bing finished reading the note handed by Shao Jing, and said lightly: "It's okay, the porcelain made by Ah Wei is too expensive, and there are too few people who can afford to customize it, and the kiln can't make ends meet, so it's better to close it earlier." Dad is old, his health is not good, his mother has to worry about the family and take care of Dad and Qiu Bao, it is not a matter to work hard like this, Qiu Bao also has to study, the school here is very ordinary, it is better to move to the capital. ”

Tian's father was panting, wanting to scold Tian Bing but reluctant, wanting to scold Tian Youwei but afraid that she would be angry with himself, so he scolded Shao Jing: "Did you pick up Awei?" You want to take the test in the capital, you go by yourself, a manly man, how can you not leave for a while? Ah Wei is not your alone. ”

The last sentence, sour, to the effect that you are a big man, how can you rob Ah Wei with me? Hum!

Shao Jing listened good-naturedly, no matter how Father Tian scolded, he said with a good attitude: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry." ”

Tian's father scolded again, and felt that he was unreasonable, so he sadly went into the house and lay down.

Qiu Bao followed up sensibly, handed him water for a while, and beat his legs for a while.

Tian's father touched Qiu Bao's head and thought sadly, if the children were still as old as Qiu Bao, he was also in the prime of life, and everything could be done again, how good it would be.

He must not let Tian Bing go to any Shazhou County, even if it angers the king of Pu'an County, it doesn't matter.

Qiu Bao took a handkerchief to wipe his tears and comforted: "Dad, don't cry, wait for me to go to the street, buy you delicious food with the New Year's money, and then ask someone to come back and juggle to relieve your boredom." ”

Father Tian wiped away his tears, hugged Qiu Bao, and asked softly, "Does Qiu Bao want to study, or do you want to make porcelain?" ”

Qiu Bao put the two chubby fingers together and said in a low voice: "I like to read and write, and I also like to make porcelain, but my family owes a lot of money, and I want to follow my second brother to do business to earn money to pay off debts, so that you and your mother can raise them with peace of mind." ”

Father Tian blinked his tears, and sighed for a long time: "That's it, since that's the case, let's close it." ”

Tian Youwei heard this sound outside the door, tears flowed out, and she was reluctant to let go of her own kiln, but now, she really can't let it go.

I just look forward to the day when it can be opened again.

After agreeing on this important matter, the family immediately put down a lot and discussed how to inform the clan to find another way out.

Although the kiln is its own, whether it is opened or not is the final word of its own family, in the end, many clansmen and neighbors are working in the Tianjia kiln, and suddenly saying that they will not do it is equivalent to smashing the jobs of many people, and they have to have an explanation.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Tian Youwei and Shao Jing went to invite the patriarch and told him about it first, showing their family's difficulties and helplessness.

The patriarch burst into tears and sighed for a long time: "I thought that after escaping the war, I would be able to live for a long time in the future, but I didn't expect that there would still be this day......"

Father Tian cried with him, and the two old men were sad for a long time when they faced each other, and the patriarch opened his mouth: "I have to talk about this matter with other clan elders, we understand your difficulties, and the big guys may not understand it." ”

The people regard food as the sky, and eating is more important than anything else, and most of the clansmen can't accept that they will come to make trouble.

So a few people discussed in detail what to do next, and then invited the elders of other clansmen, and they dispersed until late at night.

When several clan elders returned home, they spread the news.

As expected, many people came early the next morning, asking if it was true under the pretext of New Year's greetings.

Father Tian did not want the young people to go out to receive these people, so he himself dressed himself in battle, and exposed a pair of swollen and shiny feet for the people to see.

Some people with poor concentration cried on the spot: "There are old and young, what will they rely on to eat in the future......

There are also some people who are not stingy, sitting in Tian's house and refusing to leave, so that Tian's father has to find them a job to support their families.

Tian's father took the trouble to patiently talk to others about the past, the present, and the future, Tian Youwei and Xie led Ximei and they have been working in the kitchen, as long as they catch up with the meal, they will provide food.

Shao Jing was not idle, telling everyone about the places where he could find work, and encouraging everyone to farm and raise sheep to become merchants.

After being busy for more than ten days, the Tian family said that the water was dry, and they were so busy that they were sleepy and tired, and finally persuaded everyone to leave the Tian family.

However, the whole Tianjiazhuang is also gloomy and miserable, and there is no joy in the first month.

Tian's father's spirit was much weaker, and Xie was busy directing the family to pack their bags.

Tian Youwei and Shao Jing had already planned, the house in the capital was optimistic, and as soon as it was finalized, Shao Jing wrote to Luo Xiaoman, asking him to set the house and prepare to move.

Lantern Festival, in the past, the whole family had to go to Yuyao City to watch the lanterns, but no one wanted to go this year, after all, they would live in the capital in the future, and they all wanted to spend this festival at home.

Tian Youwei took the people in her family to make dozens of lanterns together, decorating the house everywhere, and it was very festive and lively.

Tian Bing picked out a pair of lotus lanterns, quietly hung them outside his and Liao Shu's former new house, and sat coldly in that room for most of the night.

When he got up early the next morning, Xie asked someone to carry his luggage to the car and went to the capital—Tian's father's leg was getting swollen and swollen, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Halfway through the luggage, someone suddenly came, said a few words to Lao Zhang, and turned away.

Lao Zhang ran in "crackling" and said loudly: "Master, master, the uncle and grandmother of the Xie family are gone!" ”

Everyone in the Tian family was shocked.

Xie Shi rushed out and said loudly: "Which uncle and grandmother?" ”

Lao Zhang said: "It's the mother of Young Master Xie Liang, just now the Xie family sent someone to report the funeral, saying that the person was gone, and it was already cold when I found it this morning." ”

Tian Youwei and Shao Jing looked at each other, when they went to see it a few days ago, although Wei was seriously ill, it didn't seem like he would die so quickly, why did he suddenly ......

When this kind of thing happened, he couldn't help but ask, and Xie quickly made arrangements.

She went to Xie's house with Tian Bing and Tian Youwei to pay tribute, and Tian's father, Shao Jing and Qiu Bao continued to move, and followed the luggage to take the boat first.

After all, Tian's father is sick and old, so no one can afford to go if he doesn't go.

After tidying up, the mother and the others hurried over in a carriage.

White paper had been pasted on the door of Xie's house, and many people were coming in and out.

Seeing them, Xie's sister-in-law immediately pulled them aside: "Aren't you going to move?" Why are you still here? ”
