Along the way, I met a few villagers, those villagers didn't dare to come over to recognize Ku Xia, in their eyes, those who could afford to catch the carriage were rich and noble, how could it be their little poor Zhuangzi.

When Ku Xia stopped an old lady who was familiar with the old lady and asked her about the whereabouts of the village chief, the old lady squinted her eyes for a long time, and then her eyes widened in surprise, and she exaggeratedly shouted, "Oh, isn't this Old Lady Yu!" You! You're not dead yet! ”

When the words fell, she quickly stopped her mouth, and consciously lost her words to change the topic, "Uh, no, I really didn't expect it, and I was too excited!" It's not easy to meet an acquaintance these days! ”

The old lady's eyes turned red as soon as she spoke, and it seemed that the people around her did not survive the famine year, and many of them left.

Ku Xia and kindly took her hand and patted it, "Old sister, if our family can survive, it is also a blessing in misfortune!" ”

She pointed to the carriage at Li Xinyao, Li Xinyao nodded clearly, went into the carriage and wrapped a few pieces of dry food and stuffed them into the hands of the old lady, "Aunt Yu, you take these pieces of dry food, we came back in a hurry this time, I didn't bring anything good, I specially bought something to visit you at your house another day, don't dislike it." ”

This old lady is skinny and bone-covered, her cheekbones are protruding, her skin is sallow and sallow, and she knows at a glance that she has not eaten a full meal for a long time, and it is better to give her dry food than to give her anything at this time.

The old lady was very frightened when she looked at this big bag of dry food, which was made of white flour and stick noodles, all of which were bigger than her face plate!

There are six of these big bags, so much dry food is too precious, more precious than silver, she doesn't dare to ask for it, the old lady hurriedly waved her hand and pushed, even if she was already hungry and secreted saliva unconsciously,

"No, no, no! I can't ask for so much food, you can keep it for yourselves, it can feed a large family! ”

Ku Xia forced the dry food into the arms of the old lady, "Oh, old sister, you can take it, when we are at home, your family has helped us a lot, we are living a good life now, give you some dry food, that is all due to be shared." ”

"It just so happens that our house is washed away by the rain and there is no place to stay, if the old sister doesn't mind, can you take a few of us in? You should borrow these dry food from your house! ”

"That's not going to take that much, this one is enough!"

The old lady didn't expect Ku Xia to be able to speak so well, in her memory, Mrs. Yu has always been a particularly spicy and difficult person, could it be said that after this tempering, people are gentle?

Li Xinyao helped beside her, "Auntie, don't shirk it, no one's food is blown by the wind, we can't eat some of your food when we live in your house, this little dry food is nothing, even if you take it, if you don't take it, we will be embarrassed to live in!" ”

The old lady said that she couldn't help them, so she could only hold the dry food in her arms with her cherished hands, and she was going to take them home in the bitter summer.

Ku Xia took her hand and said, "Old sister, don't be busy yet, we want to ask, have you seen my eldest Nier come back?" ”

"Big Nier?"

The eldest lady recalled, shook her head and sighed, "No, since she married the Zhao family Zhuangzi, she has never come back." ”

"What about the village chief? Where does the village chief live now? ”

"To the east, I'll take you there! You go to my house and put the carriage there. ”

The old lady leaned in front of Kuxia and muttered quietly, "I tell you, this village has not been peaceful recently, there are people fleeing the famine and asking for food everywhere, as long as your carriage leaves people, when you come back, there will not even be any wheels left!" ”

"Huh! Yes! We listen to you! ”

In the bitter summer, they drove the carriage to the eldest lady's house, the eldest lady's house was empty, and the yard was very clean, but it didn't feel popular.

Ku Xia looked around and asked suspiciously, "Old sister, where are your son and daughter-in-law?" ”

The eldest lady hid the dry food first, and when she heard Ku Xia mention her other sons, her expression became lonely.

"There are not many people in Yujiazhuang, most of them have fled, and the rest are some old guys who can't walk, my eldest son led his grandson to follow his daughter-in-law back to his parents' house, and the second son and younger son ......"

"Go back, go back, you can still have food to eat when you go back, the conditions in my daughter-in-law's house are better than my family, her family has a daughter and a son, unlike my family, once you are in the wilderness, you can only starve to death......"

As she spoke, the old lady's tears fell, and her wrinkled face was like old bark, full of misery.

There was no need to comfort them in the bitter summer, the old lady wiped her tears and put on a smile again, "Don't talk about these unhappy things, go, I'll lead you to the old village chief!" ”

Walking from the west to the east, the dirt road in the village was very muddy, Yu Dalin supported the old lady, Li Xinyao supported Ku Xia, and Yin Hongxuan walked flexibly with his hands and feet in the back.

When she arrived at the door of the village chief's house, the old lady did not go in, but walked to the back of the courtyard and shouted to a high ground behind her, "Village chief! Someone is looking for! ”

The old lady's eyesight was not very good, Ku Xia squinted her eyes for a long time and couldn't see what the village chief was bending over there, if he didn't straighten up, she thought it was a black stone.

The old village chief's hair has turned gray, black is rare, and his face is very haggard, Ku Xia knows in the old lady's memory that the old village chief is actually in his fifties, much younger than the old lady, but this time he is as old as seventy or eighty years old!

The old village chief walked down cautiously from the high platform where he was staying, and only when he came to him did he recognize Kuxia and them, and exclaimed again and again, "Oh, isn't this Lao Yu's family!" You're all alive! ”

The points of surprise are all about the same.

The old village chief's eyes swept over Ku Xia and Yu Dalin, and when he saw the three of them, and a child he hadn't seen before, he muttered in his heart, and he asked worriedly, "Why are there only a few of you?" The second and third are all ......"

The old lady was about to cry when she stood next to her, and she wondered if the eighty percent of those people had suffered misfortune, and she was embarrassed to ask just now.

Ku Xia hurriedly interrupted their conjecture, "Everyone is alive and well, my family is alive and well... Not a single one is missing! The second family also added a granddaughter to me! We're all settled in the north now, and life is much better than ours over there! ”

The old village chief and the old lady both breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!" This year, the family can still be neat and tidy better than anything else! ”

"Then you are coming back this time......"

"We're back looking for Big Nier! Old village chief, do you have any news of Da Nier this year? ”

Speaking of Yu Daniel, the old village chief obviously looked wrong, "Old Yu's family, don't be upset when I speak." ”

Seeing his expression, Ku Xia knew that Yu Dani's situation was not very good, "We have lived in the same village for decades, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Old Yu family, what you do is really not authentic! Da Nier is your daughter, she can't give the Yu family heirloom reception, but she can't help but treat her as a person! ”

"You know that when you married her, you pushed her into the fire pit!"
