Chapter 156: Followers

Patriarch Chen looked at his younger brother Chen Sanyou: "Sanyou, your house has also been burned, and you will live in my house when you return to the village." ”

Chen Sanyou had no opinion, but Chen Yin's wife Zhang said: "Thank you uncle, Xiao'er and I won't go." ”

Her family also built a house on the southern slope, which is also not finished, and she went to see it early this morning, and the bricks, tiles, wood, and bamboo are all piled up there, and she has not been moved.

Moreover, her family built two small thatched houses next to it, which were originally reserved for the rest of the craftsmen who built the houses, and this time happened to live for herself and her son Chen Xiao.

There is water on the southern slope, and a small vegetable field has been opened next to his house, and there are still some kohlrabi left in the vegetable field, which is enough for his mother and son to eat for a few days.

"And where do you live?" Tang asked.

Zhang said: "There are two thatched huts on the southern slope, and Xiao'er and I live there. ”

Hearing this, Tang's heart moved. Her son Chen Zhu also built a house in Nanpo, next to Chen Yin's house, although it was not completed, he built a thatched house, or he would take his fourth daughter-in-law and little grandson to live in Nanpo.

After thinking about it, no, Zhu'er hasn't separated from his brothers yet, wouldn't it be right for those people to leave by himself.

Hum! If you want to move, you have to wait for Zhu'er to come back and separate from them before moving, and then you will live with Zhu'er yourself, and let that old thing go away alone!

Chen Sanyou's eldest son and fourth son were unhappy when they heard that their house had been burned and that the second brother's (second brother's) house was safe and sound.

When Chen Yin wanted to build a house in Nanpo, he had a big unpleasant quarrel with his brother, and his father Chen Sanyou wanted to divide the family for his three sons, so that they could live their own lives, and each earned money and spent it separately.

Chen Shu is naturally willing, he is the eldest son, his father's land will belong to him in the future, and the old house in the family must also be his.

But the fourth brother did not agree to divide it, because once the family was divided, he would have to plant his own fields, and he would have to pay his own taxes, so he had to start everything by himself, so how could he squat under the wings of his parents and live happily.

In the end, Chen Yin was separated alone, and Chen Sanyou gave thirty taels of silver to his second son to settle down.

So Chen Yin took this money, plus what he earned, to build a house on the southern slope.

Before the house was built, the bandits came.

At this time, the bandits burned down the house of the mansion, and it was strange that the eldest Chen Shu and the fourth Chen Ting could balance their hearts.

Chen Sanyou frowned, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, he only nodded to his second daughter-in-law, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to her decision.

Chen Sanyou's old wife, Aunt Lu, sighed, touched her grandson Chen Xiao's head and asked her second daughter-in-law: "Do you have food here?" What are the futons? ”

Zhang said: "I went to see it, there is still a little rice and noodles in the house, there are also bedding, and the pots and pans are all neat." ”

It was originally for craftsmen to live in, and the grain was placed in a clay pot under the kang hole, and although the bedding was dirty, it could be used anyway.

"Okay, you two will live first, and I'll come back in two days."

Aunt Lu glanced at her husband, "Anyway, your father is going to come for acupuncture, and I'll bring you a few changes of clothes when the time comes." ”

Zhang: "Thank you, mother." ”

After breakfast at Jiang's house, the villagers left one after another, and Patriarch Chen and Chen Sanyou also returned to the village with their families.

Xiao Zhenniang's master and servant also went back, because Wang Dashan said that the school was not damaged.

Seeing that the four brothers and sisters were gone, the Lin family naturally did not want to continue to stay in the Jiang family, so they also left with their daughter and servants.

Jiang's family immediately cleaned up, Jiang Laohan circled around the house of the eldest son and the second son for a long time, and then sighed and returned to the third son's house.

At present, the biggest problem is not the house, nor the money, he and his wife are most worried about the lack of food at home.

There are only half a bag of rice and half a bag of flour left, barely enough for a dozen or so people to eat for seven or eight days.

But after seven or eight days, what will the family do?

The food hidden by the eldest and second sons in the shed was gone, and a lot of cotton and sacks were scattered around the vegetable patch, and they were drenched in the rain again, which was terrible.

Jiang Liu, his three daughters-in-law and two granddaughters collected the cotton seeds one by one, took the dirty ones to the pond and washed them, wrung them out and spread them out in the yard to dry.

Jiang Laohan stood in San'er's yard for a while, and then went to the vegetable field with his hands behind his back, only to see that the kohlrabi and Chinese cabbage planted in the vegetable field were all gone, and even the leeks were cut down.

However, on the day of the escape, he drove his family's two fat pigs and a dozen chickens into the depths of the bamboo forest, and scattered a lot of wheat and rice in the bamboo forest, but he did not know that the sow and the chickens were still there.

"Dacheng!" Jiang Laohan saw his eldest grandson coming out of the bamboo forest, and hurriedly asked, "Has the pig been found?" ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No, only two chickens were found." ”

The two chickens seemed to be accustomed to the life of the bamboo forest, and when they saw people, they went into the forest, and refused to show their heads.

"Will it run into the bamboo forest?" Jiang Laohan did not give up, and looked at his eldest grandson with a look of anticipation.

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No, it is estimated that he was eaten by the bandits." ”

A lot of pig bones were thrown inside and outside his yard, but his grandfather didn't believe in evil, so he must have asked him to look for it in the bamboo forest, but he didn't find anything.

When Jiang Laohan heard this, his heart was so painful that he burst into tears.

Originally, the two pigs were going to stay for this year's New Year to kill and eat meat, but they didn't expect to cheapen the turtle grandchildren.

A thousand-knife beheading thing, not only ate his pig, but also burned his house.

Jiang Laohan was simply mad.

At this time, if the group of turtle grandsons were in front of him, he would kill a few of him to get angry!

"What about the golden fungus?" Jiang Laohan asked again.

"The golden ear is fine, but some of them have been rained, and it is estimated that they will not look good."

The Jiang family moved all the golden-eared snow fungus seedlings into the bamboo forest and covered them with straw, and it is estimated that the bandits saw that the thing was useless, so they didn't move much.

Jiang Laohan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!" ”

Alas, what a blessing in misfortune.

Fortunately, the bandits don't know Jin'er, otherwise they really can't slow down.

Bamboo forest edge.

Yingbao took Yoyou and said to his younger brother and Wei Zhan Yuanbao Huzi behind him: "Don't follow, just wait for me here, I'll come out as soon as I go in." ”

Jiang Wu grabbed his sister's sleeve, "I'll go too." ”

Jiang Jie: "I'm also going to find the bamboo girl to find the melon." ”

Wei Zhan and Huzi raised their hands: "And me!" ”

Sakura Bao was so angry with these henchmen that he lost his temper, so he had to coax: "You just wait here, and I will take you to the pond to pick lotus roots." ”

Jiang Jie hesitated.

Jiang Wu pouted with obvious reluctance.

He wanted to find melons with his sister, so he didn't want to pick any lotus roots.

Yuan Bao Wei Zhan and Huzi's eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded: "Okay!" You must be the talker! ”

Jiang Liu and Zhou did not allow the children to go to the pond to play, and they would play a hand once they saw it, and even Wei Zhan was not spared.

So Sakura said that he would take them to pick lotus roots, and the three leather monkeys immediately nodded in agreement.

If grandma knew about beating people with a board, she would let Sakura take the blame, but grandma was reluctant to beat her anyway.

Sakura led the fawn inside, looking back from time to time to see if they were following.

Fortunately, they were very well-behaved this time and didn't follow up.

After walking for more than a dozen steps, seeing that he could no longer see the figure clearly, Yingbao immediately took out a few melon vines and Chinese cabbage from the cave and stuffed them into the back basket that Yoyo was carrying.

The fawn carries two baskets on its back, one on the left and one on the right, the left side is stuffed with melon, and the right side is stuffed with courgette and Chinese cabbage.

Carrying another basket of eggs in his hand, Sakura Bao led Yoyo out of the bamboo forest.

Thanks to the support of the babies all the way, another month of new beginning, in order to welcome the June 1st Children's Day, today more than 10,000 words.
