Chapter 15 Settle in Niutou Village
The most important thing for a family now is to have a place to stay.
And when Zhang Dazhuang heard Ji Liangqing say this, he knew it in his heart.
Although Ji Liangqing has experienced a famine escape and his body does not look clean, he can take out such a large piece of meat casually!
This is certainly not a simple person, but he has just escaped from elsewhere and is helpless, and it would be a good thing if he could befriend him!
Let alone...... He is still very interested in the "generous remuneration" in Ji Liangqing's mouth.
However, looking at so many homeless people around here, Zhang Dazhuang was also afraid that there would be people with bad intentions, so he lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, I'll be waiting for you at the corner in front, you let our family clean up, don't startle the snake!"
Ji Liangqing is not afraid that he will lose such a big piece of meat, people are generally simple now, and this old brother is even more honest and down-to-earth at a glance.
And he was clearly a little impressed by the lucrative reward he had proposed.
So Ji Liangqing nodded and said gratefully: "Trouble Brother Zhuang, we will be there soon, don't worry." ”
Zhang Dazhuang saw him coming up and nodded.
Then he turned around and walked away.
Ji Liangqing quickly returned to his family, and when he saw that the old lady and brothers were looking at him, he quickly said what he had just discussed.
Ji Miaomiao instantly admired her father.
To say that the brain of the third child this season is really easy to use.
The family could not eat or sleep well under the city walls, and they could not get in.
On the other hand, if you can find a place to stay in a nearby village, you can have the best of both worlds.
"Okay, the third child is good." Mrs. Ji also praised Ji Liangqing, and then said:
"Everyone packed up their things quickly, and when someone asked, they said they wouldn't wait here."
The Ji family began to get busy.
When the things were packed up and the cart was about to leave, someone asked.
Mrs. Ji is an old man, when others ask her where she is going, she cries that her life is miserable, and she has not entered the city gate after running for so long to Lin'an County.
Just go back and forget it, and maybe it's already raining at home when you go back.
When those homeless people heard this, the corners of their mouths hooked up with a touch of sarcasm.
It's been a long time now, and it's been dry, and I'm still dreaming that it will rain when I get home.
I'm afraid that I will starve to death because of lack of food on the way.
Now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and no one wants to talk to each other.
After hearing them say this, no one asked, and they all went about their own business.
The Ji family pretended to walk out of the sight of the homeless people unhurriedly, and when they couldn't see it, they walked quickly.
Sure enough, at the bend of this road, I found the long-awaited Zhang Dazhuang.
"Brother Zhuang, we are here, this is my mother, my brother and my sister-in-law, and my daughter-in-law and nephew."
Zhang Dazhuang greeted them warmly one by one.
Can you not be enthusiastic? Just now, when he was waiting for the Ji family here, he showed the meat that Ji Liangqing gave him, and he was afraid that he would have to have a pound and a half.
This pound and a half of meat is enough for their family to eat for ten days!
Although this meat is lean meat, but now the pigs are fat, and it is normal.
Zhang Dazhuang, who didn't know about beef, was also very happy, and was even more determined to build a good relationship with the family.
After he finished saying hello, he saw that the family was in the dust, and hurriedly said:
"Let's not delay, I'll take you there right away, there's a shortcut over there. You can go to the end of the village without going through the interior of our village, but the end of the village is a bit remote, see if you can accept it. ”
"Acceptable, acceptable." Boss Ji hurriedly responded.
Zhang Dazhuang was relieved and took the group to the end of the village.
While going, he also told the Ji family about the situation in Niutou Village.
For example, the son of the village chief of Niutou Village is studying in a city academy, this person is more selfish, and which family is well-off, which family needs to be careful.
His words can be described as doing his best, helping the Ji family know a lot of things, so he didn't have to inquire.
Mrs. Ji nodded again and again when she listened.
When the family arrived at the dilapidated little house at the end of the village, there was no need for Ji Liangqing to say, Mrs. Ji herself stuffed the remaining half of the chicken to Zhang Dazhuang.
Zhang Dazhuang was stuffed with half a chicken, and he couldn't say anything shocked.
This chicken is so big, it's heavier than the piece of meat just now!
I thought that the other party would just give him another piece of meat, but I didn't expect to give such a big chicken again!
The chickens raised at home are all going to lay eggs to save money to sell, when are you willing to eat? What a day of great luck!
seemed to see that Zhang Dazhuang was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Ji immediately comforted him:
"Big nephew, you have helped our family so much, don't be disgusted with the shabby gifts!"
"Where is this! It's meat! Zhang Dazhuang replied immediately.
Then the group entered the house and saw that the cobwebs were dense, the kang had collapsed, and the bedding brought by the Ji family was a little insufficient.
Zhang Dazhuang already had the intention of making friends with their family, and immediately said:
"I have a futon at home, I don't need it anymore, so I can still avoid the cold, so I asked my daughter-in-law to bring it."
As he spoke, he looked around, saw that there was nothing here, and offered to bring some daily necessities.
The Ji family was naturally grateful, Zhang Dazhuang picked up the burden and went home quickly.
——
Zhang Dazhuang's house, his daughter-in-law Wang Chunyue was eating with a son and a daughter, and when she saw that her husband had not come back for a long time, she couldn't help but get up and look at the door with her stomach worried.
The sister-in-law on the other side of his house saw Wang Chunyue standing at the door with a big belly, so she persuaded her:
"The second one's family, the second one may be late today, you go in first and wait for him, it's too dark outside."
When Wang Chunyue heard this, she shook her head, but still insisted on waiting for her husband outside.
didn't wait long, and saw a familiar figure appear by the gate, and Wang Chunyue was overjoyed.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think I brought back?"
Zhang Dazhuang pulled his daughter-in-law into the house and took out the two pieces of meat as if offering treasures.
"Have you taken the money you sold today to buy meat?" Wang Chunyue was taken aback.
But when I think about it, the price of meat in the city is so expensive now, not to mention that the money for the dish is to buy two pieces of meat, and you can't buy one.
Zhang Dazhuang smiled and gave Wang Chunyue the money from selling vegetables, and told him about meeting the Ji family.
Wang Chunyue was also very happy when she heard this.
The family who fled the famine, with children and daughters, did not worry about any moths.
Hearing her husband say that she wanted to take something over there, she quickly got up and picked up some things, thought about it, picked up the piece of meat, cut it in half, and handed it to Zhang Dazhuang:
"Da Zhuang, you go and take this piece of meat to the eldest brother's family, and let them follow you over there to help clean it."
Since he has decided to be good friends with this family, Wang Chunyue is not a stingy person.
What's more, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been very good to them, and if they have a little benefit, they should also think about the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, right?
And she has such a big belly, it's not easy to pass, and my sister-in-law is a quick person!
Zhang Dazhuang also felt reasonable, took the piece of meat, and went to the opposite door.
