Because of the one just now, they couldn't settle down in Huo County, and seeing that tomorrow is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, they can't really take the children to spend the New Year in the wilderness, right?

Li Shijie thought about retreating, even if he found a village, rented a house with his fellow villagers, and the five of them got together, they would be able to celebrate the New Year.

After driving the mule cart for some more distance, they finally saw a village on the mountainside before it was dark.

drove the mule cart into the village, Li Shijie found a household at the entrance of the village, and the small courtyard with more houses knocked on the door of the house.

"Is anyone home? Is anyone home, please?"

After shouting several times in succession, the middle door of the main house in the courtyard opened, and a man about thirty years old came out, and saw Li Shijie knocking on the door, this man asked suspiciously: "Which one are you?"

Li Shijie smiled: "Hello fellow, fellow, we came from the other side of the river, our home was looted by the widows, and we finally escaped with our families, and we were going to Wuhan to join our relatives, but it was dark now, and we couldn't sleep in the wilderness with our children, right?" So I want to find a family to spend the night, and the fellow doesn't know that your family is inconvenient?"

The man glanced at the end of the day behind Li Shijie, and was about to speak, when another question came from the room: "Ergen, which one is outside?"

The man called Ergen turned around and answered the house: "Dad, he said that he was fleeing and wanted to stay at our house."

There was a sudden silence in the room, and after a pause, there was movement in the middle room, and an old man walked out of the room, the old man looked relatively old, about sixty times, bowed his back slightly, and held a dry tobacco pot in his hand, walked to the side of the two, looked at Li Shijie who was accompanied by a smiling face, and then looked at the three children behind him, thought about it and nodded to Li Shijie.

"Okay, it's not easy to go out with a few children in this big year." After the old man finished speaking, he instructed his son beside him: "Ergen, you ask your daughter-in-law to clean up the side room and settle down for the guests, and by the way, go to the kitchen to tell your mother, there are guests at home, let her add two dishes."

"Hey, okay, I know, Dad." The man answered, and the people ran into the house.

Li Shijie saw that the old man happily agreed to their stranger's request to stay overnight, and thanked him with a smile, but the old man raised his hand holding the cigarette pot and waved it gently, and said in his mouth: "Don't thank you, hurry up and take the babies into the house, it is snowing outside, and it is warm to enter the house."

"Thank you, uncle, thank you." Li Shijie thanked him a few times, and then turned around and led the mule and brought everyone into the courtyard.

After entering the yard, Su Meimei and the end of the car they got out of the car, Li Shijie and Qian Dai were ready to follow the old man to park the mule cart, and the old man did not forget to tell Li Shijie before raising his feet.

"It's cold outside, ask your daughter-in-law to take the babies into the house to roast the fire."

Li Shijie laughed at the embarrassment, seeing that the old man had misunderstood, he hurriedly explained: "Uncle, this is not my daughter-in-law, she is my sister-in-law and little nephew, my family is this female doll, and this is my apprentice."

"Oh, yes, yes." The old man listened to Li Shijie's explanation, and seeing that he had misunderstood, he nodded a little embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.

Su Meimei was also embarrassed, but after hearing Li Shijie say that she was a sister and Zhu was a nephew, she felt very comfortable, even if this was Mr. Li's excuse, but she was very happy to have a brother like Mr. Li and a niece like Momo.

Holding the pillar, Su Meimei smiled and said hello to the uncle, and then took the end to the main house pointed out by the uncle.

The main house is a hall house, because the weather is cold, there is a brazier in the hall, originally this family was roasting fire in the house before Li Shijie and they arrived, but as soon as Li Shijie came, the old man and the male owner of the family came out to say hello, and the male owner called away the hostess, and at this moment there were only three children left by the brazier.

The eldest of the three children was estimated to be the same size as Momo, and was a male doll, the younger one was about seven or eight years old and was a female doll, and the youngest was estimated to be as big as a pillar and was also a male doll.

After Su Meimei took the two children into the hall, she saw the three children around the brazier, she smiled hurriedly, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened the handkerchief, took out the Jiang rice sticks wrapped in it, and divided them among the three children.

It is rare for the farmer to eat a few snacks a year, that is, the conditions of the Yuan family are acceptable, but the three children can only eat once during the New Year's Day, so the three little guys who got Jiang Mi Noodles have a much better attitude towards Su Meimei, and they are all smiling.

didn't wait long, it was estimated that the partial room was cleaned up, Yuan Ergen led Li Shijie and his party to the room to tidy up, and the old man went to the kitchen.

When the old lady saw her old man enter the kitchen, and made sure that no one was following him, the old lady complained.

"Old man, what's the matter with you? Even if you take in strangers for the night, you still want to keep them for dinner? Do you have a strong wind blowing in our food?"

It's not that she's stingy, it's just that the world is right now...... Alas!

She is a careful person, the person who came under this big year, she also recognized it as a relative, and the result was a passer-by who fled, and her old man was still so polite, she was still somewhat unhappy in her heart.

The old man also sighed, took a sip of dry smoke, and couldn't bear to explain: "Don't you see, a man and a woman, brothers and sisters, with three dolls, said that they escaped from the hands of the devils on the other side of the river, my brother has no mother-in-law, my sister has no man, and I can't bear it when I look at it."

"Then you're kind?" The old lady continued to scare the old man.

The old man glanced at the old lady angrily: "I said you old lady, why are you so ignorant?" Didn't I think of our family's big roots? At the beginning, because we Dagen offended the county security group, people ran out and said that they had defected to some revolution, and now it is so chaotic everywhere, maybe our Dagen's life is not easy, maybe it is the same as the family who came to our house to rest today, wandering around helpless. ”

As he spoke, the old man felt uncomfortable, took two puffs of his cigarette, and then looked at the north and became distracted.

"I just thought, let's take in this poor family and help them tide over the difficulties, maybe God Grandpa, for the sake of our good deeds and virtues, can make our family take him in and help him when the roots of our family are in trouble, just like we are doing now......"
