076 Settlement (2)
"Uncle Jianghe, this is the eldest son of my family, called Ruyi, Li Ruyi."
Li Erlin originally planned to start with Chen Dajuan's introduction, but since Xiao Ruyi came up, he simply introduced this little clever ghost first, "Ruyi, this is Grandpa Seven, say hello to Grandpa Seven." ”
"Hello Grandpa Seven!" Xiao Ruyi gritted her teeth, and her voice was soft and cute.
"Okay, good, wishful, yes, this name is good, likable."
"Uncle Jianghe, my family is not only ruyi with a pleasing name, but also with a few children's names, damn it, bring the children over quickly." Li Erlin said happily, and when Chen Dajuan came forward with the children, he introduced them one by one.
Li Jianghe had a strong smile on his face, and he responded well, "In a blink of an eye, you will be a father, okay, okay, the children can still speak their hometown." ”
"Not only my children can speak their hometown, but also the children of my eldest brother and the Silin family, my mother has spoken her hometown dialect for half her life, and it is difficult to change it when she changes places, so the children have learned."
Li Jianghe looked at a group of children, smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Since you are back, after you are registered, take the children to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and record them in the family tree." ”
The Li Erlin brothers naturally said that they would just come back, since they came back, their children would always recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
Then Li Dalin asked, "Uncle Jianghe, is our house still there?" ”
"It's gone, it's burned down early, not long after you left, the war broke out, the front suffered a defeat, and a lot of soldiers escaped, those heavenly deserters, all the way to burn and loot, not to mention your house, there are few houses in the whole village that are good, and when Dajing's army comes, there are less than 100 people left in our village. You should have listened to your father's escape in the first place, otherwise so many people would not have died. ”
Speaking of the back, Li Jianghe was heartbroken, his face could not hide his grief, and he felt a little remorseful. This is really the biggest pain in the hearts of those who survived, Li Erlin's father did call them before they fled, but they had been hesitant at the time, and then Li Erlin and they left first.
Then there was the rapid rout of the front line, the army forcibly pulled the strong men, the strong men were all charged with the army and died as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and the remaining old and young women in the village were brave in the face of the rout, not to mention resisting, and they didn't even have time to escape, and a clan almost died.
Li Erlin and the others fell into a deep silence, originally thinking that they would be miserable enough to flee back then, and the number of hundreds of people was only in their early twenties when they arrived at the place, but they didn't expect their hometown to be even more miserable, with ten rooms and nine emptiness.
But thinking about it, it is reasonable, before Dajing unified the whole country, Yuezhou was not far from the border of Dajing, and the two sides were at war, Yuezhou must bear the brunt, and the people who were close to the battlefield would definitely suffer. Isn't that why they chose to flee back then?
"Don't think about the past, after all, we are still alive, we can continue the bloodline, and people can always prosper again. Don't be stupid, go to my house first and put all the belongings away, I have a lot of space there, you will live in my house these days, and after you put away your belongings, I will take you to the end of the village to have a look, and you can find a good location to build a house. ”
Li Jianghe took Li Erlin and them to his house, his house is in the center of the village, the entrance is a large earthen courtyard, and the architectural layout of the hall house and the east and west wings of Xiaochen Village is different, Li Jianghe's house is arranged in an I-shape, the front is the hall house, there is a room on each side of the hall house, the back of the hall house is a corridor, and the end row is the master's bedroom.
The kitchen is a separate house in the front yard.
Li Jianghe's family is not large, his wife and eldest son died in the early years of deserters, and now there are only him, the second and second daughter-in-law, and the four children and a daughter-in-law of the second family. He arranged for Li Erlin and others to be simple and rude, the female baby lived in the same room with his granddaughter, the male baby lived with his grandson, and the adults were also men and women and women, who should be squeezed and squeezed.
At first, Li Erlin and they still felt that they were causing trouble, and they wanted to shirk it, anyway, they were used to sleeping in the wilderness, but Li Jianghe and his son were good at persuasion, that is, they stayed for two or three days, and they should be guests.
As for Steward Wang...... After all, he is the housekeeper of a large family, a real distinguished guest, and he should have arranged for him to live in Li Jianghe's house and have a room by himself, but he shirked it, after all, Li Jianghe's family needs to accommodate Li Erlin and them, and if he lives in a room by himself, Li Erlin's place where they live will be even more crowded. So Li Jianghe arranged for him to go to a neighbor's house, and it was not a slacking off.
After the place to live was arranged, it was not early, Li Jianghe instructed his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to cook dinner, and specially explained that he should cook dry rice, cook more, and slaughter two chickens at home, and stew a big pot of chicken soup.
He saw that Li Erlin and the others were black and thin, and he didn't have to guess that he had not eaten enough on the way to escape from the famine, and he had just come to his house, so he had to let them have a full meal.
Li Erlin didn't want to go, and hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, Uncle Jiang He doesn't have to spend so much, let's just drink some rice soup to fill our stomachs." ”
"What's the cost, what is this thing worth, in order to encourage childbirth in recent years, the government has rewarded money and meat for giving birth to a child, and the wind and rain are smooth, and the annual harvest is good, each of our families has an easy life, and they have saved a lot of money, and you have to go to the village to see, and the children wear fewer clothes and patches." Li Jianghe's tone was full of joy, "Let me tell you, it's right for you to come back, we Dajing is good, how dare I think we have such a blessing to live such a day before." ”
Li Erlin and the others were silent, forget it, since Uncle Jiang He decided to arrange it like this, let him be. They just keep this good in mind, and as long as they have a breath of air, they can always find ways to repay it.
With so many people eating, the workload is not ordinary, and Li Dafang and the others can't really treat themselves as guests and watch them without doing anything, so they hurriedly went to help after cleaning up.
Li Erlin and the others followed Li Jianghe around the village, called the heads of the families who fled together, and went to the end of the village to choose a place to build a house.
On the way, Chen Dazhu's brothers came to Li Erlin's side and muttered, Li Ping'an listened to it, it turned out that not only Li Jianghe was too enthusiastic about them, but even Chen Dazhu and the others who were assigned to other villagers' homes were also warmly entertained, and the villagers all said that they would kill chickens and cook rice, so that they could eat well and well.
They were pleasantly surprised and a little uneasy, after all, they didn't know how the people of Zhutao Village were doing, and they were afraid that the villagers would empty their homes to entertain them.
Li Erlin repeated what Li Jianghe said just now to Chen Dazhu and them, and finally said: "Don't worry, just remember their goodness, and find an opportunity to repay them in the future." ”
The Chen Dazhu brothers nodded, thinking that this place was the right place, and they also began to have a little sense of belonging to Zhutao Village.
