At this time, Old Man Shen, who had been silent, knocked on the cigarette pouch and pot and pinched out the fire. Gently put the cigarette pouch and pot on the kang table, glanced at the children in the room with their own concerns, and sighed.

"I and your wife are old and can't walk, so if we don't go, we will stay in the old house to retire."

"Dad, what did you say?" Shen Cai was dumbfounded and looked at his father in disbelief.

Everyone in the room was shocked, no one thought that Old Man Shen, who had valued his reputation all his life more than the sky, would give up the rich life at his fingertips. Follow Shen Zhong, that is the lord's father, there will be people waiting for him in the future, and everyone will have to be called an old lady, why don't you go?

"Dad, you're right, right?"

Master Shen lowered his head, no one could see his expression, and he didn't understand what the old man meant.

"We are old, this is the root of our old Shen family, I and your mother will stay here, and we won't go!"

Shen Zhi is okay, Shen Cai is in a hurry, the old man is not leaving, as the boss, he will definitely not be able to leave, so how can he do it?

"Dad, the second elder is out of breath, and he wants to take your second elder to live in the big village, how can you not go."

Shen Cai was anxious, his tone was not very good, and his speech was a little rushed, Shen Zhong frowned when he heard it, Shen Cai was his eldest brother, and he was not qualified to preach.

Old Man Shen was angry, and he lifted the cigarette bag and pot that had been placed on the kang table and fell down heavily.

"Don't forget who you are, if you don't go, you won't go, not only will I not go, none of you are allowed to go! The second child has long been separated out and singled, and he has the heart to take care of your brothers, that is love, no matter if you are your duty. Don't think that if I'm old and confused, I don't know what you have in mind. ”

Old Man Shen's words suddenly made a room full of people with ghosts in their hearts red-faced, Xiao Xia looked at her grandparents sitting on the kang in surprise, her surprise was no less than others, is this still the eccentric Shen grandparents she knows?

Shen Hui listened and rolled her eyes to look at Mrs. Jia, who was sitting on the kang without making a sound, and had her eyes closed, and called out pitifully 'Niang'......'.

"You and your father have suffered all your life, no matter whether the second brother is separated or not, he is your son, you and your father enjoy the blessings of the second brother, that's how it should be!"

But now, no matter what Shen Hui said, Old Lady Jia sat firmly on Mount Tai as if she hadn't heard it.

Even Shen Hui and Shen Zhi were surprised, what happened to these two old ones?

In the end, no one could persuade the old couple to change their minds, that is, Shen Zhong opened his mouth to pray for filial piety, but Old Man Shen was still unmoved.

"My mother and I know that you are filial, if you have the heart, I will give your eldest brother ten acres of land, so that he can farm well in the future and have something to eat, and I will be at ease even if I die."

"Dad, I don't want to farm."

Shen Cai directly refuted Old Man Shen's words, he didn't want to farm, the second child is so capable, just arrange a job for himself, isn't it better than farming?

"That's okay, second brother, you don't have to worry about your eldest brother's affairs in the future."

"Daddy?" Shen Cai was dumbfounded, if the second child left him alone, what would he do in the future?

Everything seemed to be settled, Xiao Xia didn't expect that the last two old men would have a day to understand.

"Grandparents, since you don't want to go with us, my father and I won't force grandparents. I will find workers to repair this old house, and then buy two people to serve your daily life, and all the living needs of grandparents will be provided by our second room in the future. As the eldest son, the eldest uncle has the responsibility of taking care of the elderly, so he will stay to take care of his grandparents, and we will not treat the eldest uncle badly, and we will give the eldest uncle ten acres of good land as compensation. ”

Shen Cai stood up excitedly, blushing and yelling: "I don't want land, Shen Zhong, if you still have me as a big brother in your heart, at least give me the grain store in Gushan Town." ”

Xiao Xia sneered. "Uncle, it's not that my father doesn't want to give it to you, or I'm afraid that I will give it to you, and you are excited and go to prison again, and you will stay for ten or eight years, who do you blame?"

"You ......"

"This matter is settled, grandparents rest assured, we will arrange everything here, and you can write to my father at any time if you need it in the future."

The next day, several large carriages left Shen Zhong's house, and a large copper lock fell outside the gate of Shen Zhong's house.

Many villagers in Shenjia Village came to see him off, and Shen Zhong did a lot of good things for Shenjia Village, and before leaving, he also found someone to repair the Shen family ancestral hall, which was a great achievement.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Xiao Xia looked back at the Shenjia Village that was gradually drifting away, she may rarely come back in the future, this is the place she is most familiar with, and it is also her favorite place, goodbye!

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, roasting the earth until it smokes, and on such a hot day, if you can't come out to see the sun, try not to come out. At this time, there was only a team of carriages and horses moving slowly on the official road.

Xiao Wang was pregnant and couldn't bump around in the carriage for a long time, so every day when the sky was not yet bright and not so hot, Shen Zhong's family hurried away, and at noon, they found a place to rest for an hour or two, and if they met the town, they stayed.

Slow all the way, and when it came to the jurisdiction of Shaoyang City, it was already July, although he had been as careful as possible along the way, but the youngest Xiaosi was still sick, and the heat stroke on a hot day was on the road again, but he was guilty.

"It's been three days, and Xiao Si has no good signs, so I won't leave tonight, and we'll be on our way when Xiao Si is well."

Xiao Xia looked worriedly at Xiao Si who fell asleep in a daze, she had just turned two years old, she was still too young, and she was really sloppy when she was sick.

"Girl, let's go to Shaoyang City in two days, won't we leave?"

"Little Four's illness is the most important."

"Girl, there is Fenghua Town in front, let's settle down there!"

"Okay."

When they entered Fenghua Town, Xiao Xia and the others knew that something big had happened, there was a plague here, the plague started with a simple heat stroke, and more and more people took heat stroke, and ordinary medicine was not good at all, and it slowly developed into a plague.

Hearing the news, Xiao Wang's family was blindfolded at that time, hugged Xiao Si, who was still unconscious, and began to cry bitterly.

"When did the plague start, and why haven't we heard anything about it?"

Chunhua glanced at the second girl carefully, and replied in a low voice: "It was three or four days ago, we have been on the road, so we didn't notice, if it wasn't for Shen Fei going to the hospital today, we wouldn't know about it." ”

Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Si, whose lips were already white, and his heart tightened. "Hurry up and send a message to the doctor, let him come as quickly as possible."

"Also, we can't stay here now, this place has developed into a plague, and it is likely to be locked down, so leave now."

"What about the four girls?"

Xiao Xia's face tightened and he sighed. "It's even more dangerous to stay here, so you can only wait for the doctor."

Not long after Xiao Xia's family entered Fenghua Town, they left as fast as they could while it was still dark.

It was dark and it was difficult to walk, so the family could only camp in a wooded area not far from Fenghua Town.
