Cheng Mingyue was speechless, she just couldn't get used to Cheng Mingyi, and every time she saw Cheng Mingyi happy, she wanted to stab her a few words, which made her unhappy.

Li Lianhua also couldn't understand how the two sisters, who had a good relationship before the age of five, developed to the point where they are now; Cheng Mingyi is filial and sensible, well-behaved and intelligent; Cheng Mingyue is obtuse and arrogant, and always does something out of place.

Gradually, everyone's original love and affection for Cheng Mingyue has also decreased a lot.

Let her continue like this, and when she gets married, how much affection will the family have for her?

"You, you, can you save us our worries?" poked Cheng Mingyue's brain, "You envy Yiyi and are always praised and liked by everyone, then you should be yourself; Don't always find the reason in others, only if you do a good job of yourself, you can be recognized and praised. ”

Cheng Mingyue's mind was tangled, and her brows were furrowed.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua did not continue to speak; She only hopes that her daughter can figure it out as soon as possible and not get into the horns.

"Okay, go back, you think slowly; Mother and father will not harm you after all, you are obedient and obedient, if you see more and talk less, you don't understand how to be yourself now, then look at your cousin more, follow your cousin, you will always find your own direction. ”

"There are only two sisters in the family, you have all the rituals, we have never lacked you or missing you; I have all the eccentric, prejudiced, and disliked thoughts in your head, let me hear it once, and my mother will whip you with a stick. ”

"Also, spend less time with the children of the Seventh Master and more with your cousin; Your father often said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and who follows them learns what to look like. ”

If you are not smart, you will follow others.

On the one hand, he knows that he is not smart enough and not likable enough; On the other hand, he hated people who liked and were wise, and in the end he got nothing, and he was getting more and more tired of living.

I don't know if Cheng Mingyue listened to it or not, in short, it was a lot of peace; The elders won't jump out to make conspicuous bags when they speak, and they follow their brothers and sisters from time to time, looking a lot more well-behaved.

After the cassava was divided, the Cheng family happily packed up their things and continued to set off; The people of the two villages before and after saw it in their eyes, and they could only envy that there were more than 30 households in the Cheng family, of which more than 200 were males, and there were 80 or 90 adult males.

There are many strong laborers, and the old and weak women and children in the support clan have always been dedicated, and outsiders can't insert them if they want to.

However, the Chen clan, who was two villages behind them, had heard that the Cheng clan had received so much food; Looking at them again, the food of every household is almost bottoming out, but they can't find enough food, and the next road will not be easy.

After three days of stop-and-go, Cheng was fine, but people from other villages became obviously anxious.

When people are anxious, their temper will come up, and so that there will be many more fights; There are fights in the family, and there are external ones, in short, there is no time for peace.

At night, the Chen family, who was two villages behind, made trouble again.

In the middle of the night, there is silence, and the slightest noise will be heard far away.

Cheng Yuanxi took his wife and daughter in his arms, he was worried in his heart, and did not forget to comfort his wife and daughter, "Sleep peacefully, it's okay." ”

As for the son, a manly man, he doesn't need to be appeased.

"Dad, why don't we get out of this section and move forward; The people of one clan are not afraid of the others together, and the team is inserted into the front team. In this way, to a large extent, the impetuousness of the villages that have been born when they learn that their clan has received some food has been eliminated to a large extent.

No matter how chaotic they are, they have nothing to do with the Cheng family.

The task given by Heaven is too arduous, she is a powerless woman, with no money and no power; For the sake of today, we can only protect the family first and then talk about other things.

The seven-year-old girl suddenly said this, Cheng Yuanxi was alert and disobeyed, and stared deeply at her daughter in the middle of the night.

In the dim moonlight, I could barely see my daughter's frowning and worried face.

Cheng Yuanxi knew that her daughter had been smart since she was a child, but she seemed to be smarter when she walked this way, "How can you have such thoughts?" ”

"Dad, we have food, but the people in other villages don't; You have taught me that when they are hungry and can't bear it, the other villages will unite, and we can't stop it. Moreover, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thief the day before yesterday. ”

Cheng Yuanxi nodded, carefully considering his daughter's suggestion.

raised his hand and touched the top of his daughter's head, and saw that she was nestled back into his wife's arms, but he couldn't sleep; Sit up and look at the villages in the distance, most of the people in those villages are hungry and can't sleep, and then look at the Chen family and the people from other villages.

It is noisy and noisy every day, and the Cheng family is indeed not suitable for this position again.

After thinking about it, Cheng Yuanxi ran to find Cheng Dazhu.

Cheng Dazhu asked strangely, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?" ”

"Dad, I'm here to talk to you."

Cheng Dazhu: What do you say if you don't sleep? Idle!

Cheng Yuanxi's next sentence made Cheng Dazhu pay attention to it.

"Dad, do you think the current situation is not quite right?"

"Oh?"

"It's not a good sign that the noise is too frequent and people are anxious; There are a lot of strong men in our clan, but there are also a lot of strong men in other villages, and if we really want to unite, we may not be able to protect the food and women and children at home. Cheng Yuanxi said in a deep voice.

Cheng Dazhu understood, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he lowered his eyebrows in thought; He followed what Cheng Yuanxi said to see where other villages were located, and there were basically people arguing in each of the four or five villages nearby, some loud and some as quiet as possible, but he could still hear some subtle sounds.

Even if you can't hear it all, you know that this kind of dispute is definitely not a good thing.

"What do you think?" Cheng Dazhu raised his eyes and asked.

Cheng Yuanxi deliberately lowered his voice even more deliberately, "Go forward and leave this section." ”

"It's so easy to get away from somewhere, and once we're gone, they'll find out; Moreover, it is not certain whether we can get into the team when we go to the front. ”

"Take advantage of the night, go now; When we get to the front, we can naturally insert it, and the team is not fixed, as long as we get up early enough, and go earlier than other teams, we can naturally do it. ”

Cheng Dazhu nodded helplessly, but he didn't answer, "You go with me to the patriarch and the village chief to discuss and discuss." ”

The father and son went to the place where the patriarch's house was, and called the patriarch out; Then he went and called the village chief to come out, and to avoid the crowd, they went to the nearest forest to discuss.

"Dazhu, what's the matter with calling us over in the middle of the night?" The village chief was sleepy-eyed, obviously not sleeping well.

The patriarch was no better, and was woken up as soon as he fell asleep.

Cheng Yuanxi took the initiative to speak, "Patriarch, village chief, we are worried about this; The people in several villages were much more anxious around this time, and it was not safe for us to walk next to them, and we could always hear their noise when we slept at night. ”
