Although Qi Younian didn't do anything to the sixth child, the man who betrayed his brother still died that night, planted his head in a one-foot-deep stinky ditch, and drowned.

Probably his cowardly spirit, after seeing his two brothers who were still alive, could no longer bear the pain of being alive, so that he had the courage to cut himself off and drown himself in a shallow stinky ditch.

The two brothers stayed in Suicheng for a few days, and heard from old acquaintances that after the six of them were imprisoned and reinforced, the squire's brother-in-law came forward to take over their livelihood.

The sixth looked good at the time, but he went to the squire's mansion many times to find trouble, saying that most of the money the squire promised to him had not been fulfilled.

Not long after that, the sixth child was covered in scars and paralyzed on both legs. After that, his wife was separated, and the paralyzed man who had no one to care about him became a beggar, or the most miserable beggar in the city.

Originally, with the determination of revenge, the Qi Younian brothers earned their lives at the border and came back, but they saw a completely different scene from their imagination. The bastard who was not worthy of being their enemy at all had already received the punishment he deserved, even more so than they had done it themselves.

As for the squire and his brother-in-law, the disheartened Qi Younian persuaded the fourth child, "That's it, people can't fight for their lives." Back then, even if there was no sixth child, we couldn't keep a living. You still have a wife and children, they are still waiting for you to go back and reunite, don't let them wait for you for ten years in vain. Forget about it, go home and live a good life, live happily, and live the life of our four brothers for them. ”

The two brothers brought relics to the relatives of the other four brothers, and left the only money they had. Qi Younian sent the fourth child back to his hometown, but he didn't know where to go.

has been away from home for more than 20 years, but in the end, he ended up with a distribution and a military outcome, how can he still have the face to face his parents and brothers at home. Walking blindly all the way, it happened that Miyi County recruited masons to work, so he stayed in Miyi County until now.

After so many years, seeing that he has reached his twilight years, his mood has also changed a lot, homesickness is getting heavier and heavier, and he always inadvertently thinks of his parents and two brothers at home, thinking about returning to his roots, and does not want to bury himself in a foreign land.

However, now he is too old to withstand the bumps. Even when he was doing the bricklayer work he was familiar with, his hands and feet were much weaker than before, and he was much sluggish.

His body has been devastated by prison and frontier, and it has been consumed. This place is thousands of miles away from Yudong's hometown, and if he insists on traveling alone, nine times out of ten it will be the result of the violent corpse wilderness. Qi Younian, who has no sharpness, no longer has the courage to try such an ending.

Originally, he was disappointed and gave up his hope of going home, but now there is a turnaround, and this turnaround is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door.

They call themselves mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but judging from Qi Younian's experience over the years, that mother-in-law will show respect to her daughter-in-law from time to time. Although there are many distresses and concerns, the respectful attitude buried deep under the surface cannot be completely concealed like a deep imprint.

And the eagerness of the two of them to find relatives and household registration is not just as they said, but it is as simple as finding relatives and losing their way.

The only thing that made Qi Younian uncertain was the leaf who claimed to be his daughter-in-law. Although her so-called mother-in-law blindly respects her, she herself is by no means like a delicate person who calls slaves and maids and is served, but like a clever woman from an ordinary family.

It doesn't seem right to say this, although Ye Zi Nan Nizi doesn't act like a pampered person, but between her demeanor, it seems that she has seen a big scene, even in the face of such an embarrassing situation, she always has an unusual calmness and confidence.

Anyway, it is true that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not settle down, and their identities are a little doubtful. But after two months of cold eyes, no matter what their identity is, they are all regular people, and they have indeed found relatives.

Qi Younian looked at the cold sunshine in winter, and had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is idle, maybe he can mention to Ye Zi that she should be the person in charge of her family......

…………

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, most of the transactions were collected, and Mama Jin wanted to buy some food and cloth for the New Year, but found that at this time, even with the silver, there was nowhere to buy New Year's goods.

She walked around the streets and alleys before she came back with half a chicken and a pound of meat.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Ye Xinyan bought some white noodles on a whim. With these white noodles, with half a chicken and that bit of meat she bought, she can eat two meals of dumplings and chicken soup noodles during the New Year. The days of the poor family, this is also a rare delicacy.

Ye Xinyan has never lived a life of never getting tired of eating and being fine, but she has never suffered such a crime. Life has been too hard in the past few months, coupled with the anxiety of not having a place to live, she thinks she has a strong ability to resist pressure, and she will not be able to bear it.

Although he had money during the first time he escaped, he faced the huge threat of being hunted down, and the fear of being guilty, even if he had money, he didn't dare to spend it. Now...... Even if you want to spend money and improve your life a little, there is no money to spend.

In addition, the identity of a homeless person who lives without a fixed place accompanies the two of her from time to time, which makes Ye Xinyan very disgusted with the current days of hunger and cold, and at the same time, she can only be patient and slowly plan for the future.

Even if they make some money in the past few days, it will only make them not unable to get a penny when they encounter problems. Other than that, there really isn't much use for this bit of silver.

To put it bluntly, with the little silver in their hands, they can't stand a comparison at all.

At this time, seeing Mama Jin take out that little bit of ingredients, her face was full of guilt, Ye Xinyan comforted: "Since we have come out, we are now poor people who have nothing to do." If you look at the neighborhood in front of the house and behind the house, everyone lives like this. Besides, it's okay if you can't buy anything, save the silver, and when the weather is warm, we can have more silver in our hands, which can be used as capital and other small transactions. ”

Ye Xinyan doesn't have too many obsessions about whether to eat well during the New Year, even if she eats something good during the New Year, will she really be able to live better every day in the next year? You still have to make money with your hands and brainpower.

Therefore, for lunch on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they still ate some simple mixed batter and nest head as in the past. For dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, I made noodles, chopped filling, and wrapped some dumplings. In addition, stir-fried spicy cabbage with cabbage heart is considered to explain the dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve.

After the dumplings were cooked, Mama Jin asked Ye Xinyan to bring a bowl to Uncle Qi next door. Although Uncle Qi's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be better than theirs, they have lived in for nearly two months, and thanks to Uncle Qi's care, they finally made a delicious meal, of course, I want to express it.

Although Qi Younian is alone, the habit of living alone for many years makes him unable to make do with eating. When Ye Xinyan brought the dumplings, Qi Younian was also about to eat, but there were no dumplings, just a pot of hot stew and a plate of braised pork.
