"Don't make any noise, it's not the end yet! It will be too late to sow seeds five or six days later, and it may rain in a few days. Tai Sanye thought for a long time before he said such a sentence.

Old Man Tai happened to come out to join in the fun, and he also frowned.

It stands to reason that Banxian'er has calculated that this year must not be a disaster year, and the little granddaughter also said that there will be a bumper harvest.

No matter how much you think about the rain, it can't be bad, but since the New Year, there has really not been a drop of rain.

At this time, there were seven or eight people walking in the direction of Zhangjia Village in the south, old and young, pushing wheelbarrows, backpacks and umbrellas, as if they were going to go far away.

Someone recognized the old man among them and hurriedly shouted, "It seems to be Uncle Zhang's house in the west of Zhangjia Village." ”

This old man of the Zhang family is about the same age as the old man Tai, so he is naturally more familiar.

Old Man Tai stood up and asked from afar, "Old brother, where are you going?" ”

The tears on Zhang Laoba's face have not been wiped away, and when he suddenly sees an old friend who knows each other, he can't hold back even more.

"Woo, Brother Tai, our family really can't get by, and we plan to go to the south to escape the famine and find some way to survive!"

The rest of the Zhang family also choked up and hung their heads.

Old Man Tai and Third Master Tai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade and inquire carefully.

It turned out that the Zhang family had a large population, but there were few laborers who could work, and the fields were only three acres.

In harvest years, I am half-full, and I am worried about starving to death at any time, not to mention that there have been famines for several years in a row!

Originally, I thought that now that the wild vegetables have also come out, I am not afraid of starvation, and I will wait for the spring planting, and I can always survive for another year.

It's a pity that the family was negligent for a while, and the grain seeds were not optimistic, and they were plagued by rats.

It hasn't rained in the sky, and the family feels that there is no way to live, so they pick it up and think about walking slowly south.

In case they meet a rich or noble family to buy someone, they will all go to be a slave, at least they can survive.

But the homeland is hard to leave, the place where I have lived all my life, how to walk under this foot and how much it weighs, so I cry and cry......

Everyone in Taijia Village was embarrassed when they heard it, and their hearts were uncomfortable.

"Then how did you arrange the three acres of land at home?" Tai Sanye sighed and asked.

Zhang Laoba wiped his tears and responded, "I let the village chief stay, whoever wants to plant will plant, and if he doesn't want to plant, he will be wasted." In case we can't get around outside, there's still hope for coming home. ”

Tai Sanye disagreed, "If you sell three acres of land, you can still have more than a dozen taels of silver, and you can always have a bottom in your heart when you take it with you." ”

As a result, it was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Zhang Laoba actually sat on the ground and cried.

"I can't bear it, that's what my father left me, and I won't have the face to see my father if I sell it! I've been serving three acres of land all my life! It's killing me! ”

Old Man Tai couldn't listen to it, so after thinking about it, he said a few words to the old brother.

Tai Sanye nodded hurriedly, then helped Zhang Laoba up, and persuaded him, "Old brother, people are cheap when they leave their hometowns, can they not leave or not." Isn't it just a few catties of seeds, we still have them at home, I will take them for you to use first, and then return them when the harvest is in the autumn. ”

"Really?" Zhang Laoba couldn't believe it, "I asked the village chief to borrow it, but the village chief said no!" ”

Tai Sanye immediately responded, "Brother Zhang is afraid that it will be difficult, borrowing your family, and the whole village is watching, it is not easy for him." Our clan is lucky, I have done a few jobs after the year, and my life is better, and I can barely get a share, otherwise I can't help you, and I am powerless. ”

Zhang Laoba nodded and couldn't stop thanking.

When the old and young family members behind him saw this, they cried even more happily.

Who wants to leave home, if it is not a last resort, in order to survive, there is no way to take a step!

Soon, Zhang Laoba personally carried half a bag of grain seeds and went home with his family.

Everyone in Taijia Village gathered together and chattered non-stop.

There are those who are glad that they can get by, and there are those who joke that Zhang Laoba's family can't have enough children and can't afford to raise them.

However, Old Man Tai and Third Master Tai glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, only worried in their hearts.

To live is to live a good life, and the villagers in all villages have food, weddings and funerals, and have more children, so that life can become more and more prosperous.

If people start fleeing, it will soon become a trend.

And the loss of population, ten miles and eight villages are desolate, and finally thieves are everywhere, the houses are empty, and the ruin of the Northland is a foregone conclusion.

Even if there is another five or six years of good harvest, it will not necessarily recover.

But they can stop one today, but they can't stop a hundred or a thousand......

"I still have to find a way!" Old Man Tai sighed.

Tai Sanye glared dryly, desperately smacking the cigarette bag pot, "I can't help it!" ”

Xu is God also felt sorry for the two old men with frowns, and at this moment, a fast horse actually ran in the distance, and the person riding on the horse shouted at the top of his voice.

"Grandpa, grandpa, we're back!"

Old Man Tai stood up suddenly, his eyes bright and frightened.

"Yong'an? It seems that my family Yong'an has returned! ”

The rest of the villagers also saw it clearly, and they were all overjoyed, and they all hugged Old Man Tai to greet him.

As for Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue and other stinky boys, they were already screaming and couldn't take care of their shoes when they ran away.

In the blink of an eye, Tai Yongan ran to him, he flew off the horse, and knelt down directly for the old man.

"Grandpa, woo, I'm back!"

Compared with when he left home, he was much taller and stronger, and the youthfulness between his eyebrows and eyes had faded, and he was a little more mature and stable.

But when I suddenly saw my relatives, I couldn't help but burst into tears, as if I had been beaten back to the prototype, and I was still that reckless and upright boy.

The old man grabbed his eldest grandson and asked in a trembling voice, "What about your third uncle, are you safe?" ”

Tai Yongan nodded vigorously, pulled his sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, but he forgot to run with a gray face, and directly became a big flower face.

"The third uncle is in the city with the goods, waiting for me to come back and call someone to pick it up. Five or six wagons, a dozen people to help! ”

Tai Sanye didn't need the old brother to speak, he immediately shouted at his son, as well as a few down-to-earth clansmen, "Go, go to the city to pick up the third child!" ”

The clansmen immediately responded, and ran to the courtyard of Tai's house to call Tai Jizu, and hurriedly set up a car to enter the city.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue jumped to their feet and shouted, wanting to follow together.

The old man was worried about his old son and refused to admit it, so he excused himself to see what good things they had brought with him to the south, and then jumped into the carriage as well......

At dusk, Tai Jiye was like a victorious general, returning to the village with the villagers and six carts.

Yang Lihua held Zhuzhu, Tai Jizong, Liu Dongniang, and Chunhong all stood at the door and watched.

Tai Jiye was the first to jump out of the carriage, stepped forward and snatched Zhuzhu over, laughing.

"Zhuzhu, the third uncle is back! The third uncle has brought you good things! Do you want to think about the third uncle? ”

"Thought! The third uncle is the best, and Zhuzhu likes you the most! The fat girl's sweet words never disappoint, she took a big bite on the third uncle's face, and coaxed Tai Jiye to laugh louder.

Old man Tai followed behind, pouring cold water in disgust, "Zhuzhu come quickly, grandpa hug." Your third uncle is going to roll into a mud monkey, and you are not afraid to eat a mouthful of soil! Let him wash up, and then we'll talk again. ”

Liu Dongniang hurriedly greeted, "Third brother, the water is boiled, and it's in the wing." You go and wash it, my sister-in-law has made you new clothes, and they are all ready. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law!" Tai Jiye responded happily, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's finally home!
