Chapter 156: Where are the missing Li Feng and his son?
Later, the matter of the aunt's family was completely solved, and the best brother took away 2,000 catties of rice, and never appeared in Tashan Village again.
In November, the village chief's family, Lao Tiantou's family, Lu Dongliang's family, and Li Feng were picked up by a military vehicle.
Their houses and land were also sold, but not from the village, but by relatives of the villagers living in the county or surrounding areas, all of whom wanted to live here and have land to plant, so that they would not starve in the future.
What I want to talk about here is Li Feng, at first Old Man Li's family wanted to go to the safe zone, but the food at home was not enough, and their house and land could not be sold in the village, so they had no choice but to rest and move away.
But on the day the military vehicle picked up people, Li Feng disappeared early in the morning with his newborn son, and they didn't come back until the evening, and then his daughter-in-law began to worry and ran to her father-in-law's house to look for it, but Li Feng was not at Old Man Li's house. After Old Man Li knew that Li Feng and his grandson had not come back this night, he was also worried, and began to summon his neighbors to help them search around the village.
That night, the village was restless again, and most of the people lit torches and went out to help find them. From the village to the surrounding areas, they searched all night without finding any trace of them, until they caught a lot of rats.
Until the sky was dark, everyone discussed, first go home and have a simple meal, and when the day dawned, they went to the mountains to look for it.
As a result, Li Feng's daughter-in-law, who followed them to find someone, disagreed, she said: "Everyone can't go back." This person hasn't been found yet, if our family Li Feng is responsible for you delaying this time. ”
Everyone was very angry when they heard her words, and they wanted to know the time of the night. Everyone is constantly moving around, and the consumption of this physical strength is very large, so I have to go home to eat something, replenish my physical strength, and then enter the mountain. But they helped Lao Li's family find Li Feng so gratuitously, without a sip of water to drink and a bite to eat. On the contrary, it makes people rely on it.
At that time, someone picked on the problem and quit, "We're looking for someone to find out what's wrong, okay." I have suffered this night's burden, I don't have the time to take care of your family's affairs, I have to go home to eat and sleep who I love. After saying that, he went home without looking back.
Not all the people who helped were willing to go. This one is gone. Everyone also said that they would not look for it, and they all went back to their respective homes in a hurry.
Li Feng's daughter-in-law stood there a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect her words to make everyone angry, and she didn't help to find it. When everyone was far away, she reacted, and she burst into tears.
But the reaction of the villagers when they heard it was to speed up their pace and go home with a bump, for fear of being entangled by this unreasonable in-law.
Otherwise, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door. What kind of good daughter-in-law can someone like Li Feng find. Everyone knows who they are. The people who helped find it all night are also because they are all neighbors, no matter how much everyone doesn't want anything to happen to Li Feng, now seeing that Li Feng's daughter-in-law is about to start spilling, she hurried as far away as she wanted.
Li Feng's daughter-in-law cried, only his eldest brother Li Peng persuaded her, she cried for a while, to see that it had no effect, should people leave or leave, so she wiped her tears and went back to her father-in-law's house with her eldest brother.
After arriving home, Li Feng's daughter-in-law told her husband that she didn't find anyone, she didn't dare to say that she didn't speak well, and everyone was angry, but said that everyone was tired of looking for a night, so they all went home to rest, and they didn't come to help find someone.
Lao Li Tou slapped his big palm on the edge of the kang with a big palm after hearing this, "These Wang Ba calves are really inhumane, this person hasn't been found yet, so they went back to rest?" So what about my son. The tone of his speech was too similar to Li Feng's daughter-in-law, he didn't think about his own son, but he slept at home all night and asked others to find it.
"Dad, what should I do then?" Li Feng's daughter-in-law asked.
"No, the old woman hurry up and cook, and I'll go to the village chief after dinner, and ask him to come forward and organize people to find Xiaofeng." Lao Li Tou knew that his appeal was not good, so he could only go to the village chief again.
"Dad, wasn't the village chief picked up by a military vehicle yesterday?" Li Peng reminded beside him.
Lao Li Tou slapped his thigh after hearing this, "Oh, how did I forget this?" Only then did he realize that the village chief had gone to the safe zone, and now there was no one in the village who could take care of things.
He couldn't figure out what to do about it for a moment.
Just when their family was in a mess, an outsider came to the village, this family is Li Ping's family of three, Li Changshun's girl in the east of the village, they originally lived in the county, a few days ago they bought Lao Tiantou's house and land, and Lao Tiantou said that after they left, Li Changshun's girl's family moved over.
They went to Li Changshun's house first, and they didn't see Li Changshun, his girl was very strange, and when she asked, she found out that her father helped people find someone last night, and he didn't sleep all night, and he came back in the morning to eat some food, and just went to sleep on the kang.
Her girl was very curious, so she asked her mother who was missing in the village, and her mother told her that it was Lao Li Tou's second son Li Feng and his son who was only a few months old were missing.
When she heard this, she shouted, "I saw Li Feng in the county yesterday. ”
Li Changshun's daughter-in-law asked her daughter: "When and where did you see it, are you sure it's Li Feng?" ”
Li Ping said: "I grew up in the village since I was a child, and I still don't know Li Feng." Wasn't there a lot of military vehicles in our county yesterday to pick up those who went to the safe zone, and when I saw him, he was in a military vehicle, as if he was still holding something in his arms. Now I think he should be holding his son. ”
"Oh, we know where he is, but we have to tell him about the family quickly, or his daughter-in-law may not be in a hurry. Stay by yourself for now, and I'll tell your brother about it. Li Changshun's daughter-in-law is also a warm-hearted person, and she was afraid that Li Feng's family would be in a hurry, so she wanted to tell them the news as soon as possible.
When Li Feng's daughter-in-law heard the words of Li Changshun's youngest son, she was stunned at first, and then ran to her house like crazy. The Li family looked at their little daughter-in-law like this, afraid that something would happen. hurriedly chased out and chased all the way to Li Feng's house.
Just see that the courtyard door is wide open, and Li Feng's daughter-in-law is in the courtyard. In the house, rummaging in the granary, no one stopped, and finally after half an hour of searching, she sat down in the middle of the yard and began to cry.
The Li family was stunned by her crying, and they hadn't reacted yet. The villagers were also attracted by the loud cry, and our house was in the crowd watching the excitement. Crying inside. There is a heated discussion outside, saying that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. It hadn't been long since this happened, and everyone was already talking about it outside. Jiang Zhi and I also learned about the general situation in everyone's discussion.
Li Feng's daughter-in-law sat in the courtyard and cried for a while, relieving herself. I started crying and scolding.
"Li Feng, you are a king and eight calves. You actually took all the food from the house, and took your son to the safe period, and left me behind, and you will not die well. She sat on the ground and cursed and cried.
Only then did we know that Li Feng was not in any danger, it should be that he secretly transported all the food at home and handed over the food to the safe zone, and yesterday he took his son to the safe zone with the military vehicle.
"What? Xiaofeng took the child to the safe zone. Where did he get the food, didn't you say that there were 1,000 catties of grain at home? Not enough for his father and son? Li Peng heard his brother and daughter-in-law say that Li Feng had gone to the safety zone. He asked with a surprised expression.
Li Feng's daughter-in-law didn't know if she didn't hear it or what, she didn't speak at this time, she just cried.
Li Peng hurriedly turned around beside him and said: "You mean, how can they go to the safe zone, isn't there not enough food?" After speaking, he reacted a little, and lowered his head and asked, "Are you not telling the truth, there are more than 1,000 catties of food at home?" ”
Li Feng's daughter-in-law finally told the truth under the constant questioning of Li Peng and Lao Litou. It turned out that their family received a total of 1,700 catties of rice, but the couple hid their hearts with Lao Li Tou, and when Lao Li asked how much grain their family received, Li Feng said that there were still 1,000 catties of rice at home, and the rest was sent to the old mother-in-law.
Old man Li began to listen to everyone discuss the safety zone, so he asked his son to go to the county to inquire, and indeed the people in the county also said how good the safety zone was, and said that these people in their family were very excited, so they wanted to try to see if they could find someone to move in.
The most important thing is food. Lao Li Tou collected 2,000 catties of rice this year, almost enough for three people, so he asked his youngest son, how much grain there was at home, the two families got together to see, and how many people could come, he said that if it was really not good, he would go to a few first, and wait for next year's grain to be harvested, and the rest of the people would go, but Li Feng said that there were 1,000 catties of rice at home, and the rest were sent to his in-laws. Lao Li Tou understood that he had sent out the grain, and it was impossible to ask for it back, so the two families combined only had a total of 3,000 catties of rice.
So you can go to four people, five people is not enough. The idea of the family is different, Li Peng wants to be able to go to three people, and his family of three will go first, let's say that he is also the eldest son. Li Feng also wanted their family of three to go first, he said that they couldn't go to five people at a time, so their family went first, and first got acquainted with it and gained a firm foothold, and Li Peng's family stayed to continue the duties of the eldest son, taking care of his father and mother, and when the food was enough next year, the five of them could go to the safe zone together, and they could do the same with Li Peng and them inside.
The two sons argued, and Lao Li Tou had no choice, so he said that no one would go this year, and that they would save enough money for everyone next year and go together.
Li Feng's daughter-in-law angrily told Li Feng's dirty thoughts at that time. He and Lao Li Tou concealed the 700 catties of grain because they were afraid that Lao Li Tou would go to the safe area with Li Feng's family and let them wait for a year. There are five people who can go to the safe zone, which happens to be Lao Li Tou and his wife plus one of their brothers. His brother is the eldest son, and he has lived with Lao Li Tou for so many years, how can he think that if he asks Lao Li Tou to choose a family to accompany him first, he will choose Li Peng, so he will hide 700 catties, and want to see if he can make up enough for 3 people, so that their family can leave this year.
But because everyone knows the character of his family, no one dares to buy his house, and he didn't scrape together enough 400 catties of rice in the end.
So the final decision he made was to abandon his daughter-in-law and leave with his son. (To be continued......)
