Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 76 Determined to move away

  Xu Shiyan supported Su Anying, came out of Xu's house, and walked all the way to the west of the village.

  While walking, Su Anying kept turning her head to look at her husband.

   "Shiyan, are you okay?" She was a little worried, feeling that her husband seemed very angry.

   Taking advantage of the darkness and no one on the road, Xu Shiyan held his daughter-in-law in his arms and patted her back lightly.

   "It's okay, I already knew it in my heart, and I didn't feel much about it."

  Come down from the mountain, you can probably guess what will happen.

  Although he was on the mountain this winter, rumors of him hunting had already spread throughout the village, and he could be expected to encounter some troubles when he returned.

   I just didn't think about it, others are not doing well, but my younger brother made such a mess first.

   "Daughter-in-law, would you be happy if I took you away instead of living in the big house?"

  Xu Shiyan had thought of moving early in the morning, but these days on the mountain, he thought it was pretty good, so he didn't mention it to his wife.

  Now it seems that it is better to move out early.

  Whose work will not be guaranteed next year for the ginseng work on the mountain, so plan as soon as possible.

   "Move, you can move wherever you want, anyway, I will follow you wherever you go.

   Even if you move to the deep mountains and old forests, I will follow you as a savage. "

  In Su Anying's place, her husband is right no matter what he does, and she fully supports her.

  Xu Shiyan's heart felt hot when he heard the words, and he hugged Su Anying tightly.

   This is his little daughter-in-law, who follows him wholeheartedly, regardless of the reason for moving or where she is going.

  Where can I find such a good wife?

  Although there are all kinds of difficulties in the world, the company of a good wife is bitter and sweet. How can a husband ask for a wife like this?

   "Let's move to Donggang, where the place is big, not like a big house in a small valley in the backcountry."

  Xu Shiyan coughed twice, controlled his emotions, and explained to his wife softly.

   "Our place is too small, the smaller the place, the worse the people.

  Because they have never seen the big world, their eyes are only on the three-acre land in the village.

   Seeing other people living well makes them feel uncomfortable, jealous and envious, and want to play tricks. "

   "We have earned a lot of money this autumn and winter, and we are too showy.

  I guess the job of watching the ginseng will be hanging in the year after the year, so I plan to go to Donggang tomorrow, find someone to connect with, and find a way to move out as soon as possible. "

  The daughter-in-law doesn't ask, but Xu Shiyan has to explain the reason clearly.

   "Oh, oh, you're right, you should plan ahead. Okay, it's better to move to Donggang, as long as you like it, then move."

  Su Anying still said that, her husband decides, she has no opinion.

  The two walked and chatted all the way like this, and after a while they returned home, washed and tidied up a bit, and got into bed to sleep.

  Early in the morning on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Shiyan started to pack his things.

   In the past few months on the mountain, I really got a lot of valuable things.

   I saved up two bear bile alone, and a thick pile of all kinds of hides, which had to be sold.

  If you stay at home, you are vulnerable to thieves, so it is better to sell the money and save it.

  In addition to these, Xu Shiyan also packed a lot of meat, mountain products and the like, and these were reserved for human favors.

  Who is empty-handed when asking for help? What's more, it's a major event of relocation and household registration?

  Scratching and pulling, I packed a large back basket, at least sixty to seventy catties.

   After breakfast, Xu Shiyan came out of the house with a basket on his back, all the way to the river.

  In winter, the surface of the river has long been frozen, and the thick ice surface is very solid. People can walk on it without any problem.

  People who live by the river all the year round don't hesitate to walk on the ice and cross the river quickly.

   "Third brother, when did you go down the mountain? I didn't see you either." Guo Jiang had just walked a short distance when someone behind him greeted him.

   Xu Shiyan looked back and saw that it was Zhao Jianshe who was driving the horse sledge up from behind, and there were many people sitting on the sledge.

   "Come on, third brother, I just picked you up for a while. It's too heavy to carry such a big basket on your back."

  Zhao Jianshe stopped his horse and sledge, and asked Xu Shiyan to go up and sit down.

  Xu Shiyan was not polite, and sat directly on the sledge.

   "Go to visit relatives, and take a stroll in Songjiang River to see and buy some New Year's goods. What are you doing here?"

   "Same, also to buy new year's goods.

   Isn’t this a money split in the team? If you have money in hand, why don’t you rush to buy it? At this time, everything is in short supply and you have to grab it. "

  The team not only distributed money, but also distributed cloth tickets, cotton tickets and so on.

  Looking at the Chinese New Year, I have to tear off a few feet of cloth to add new clothes to the child.

   Entering the gate of the twelfth lunar month, who doesn’t buy some New Year’s goods?

  The team also understood, so they sent people to drive horses and sledges to carry people to do New Year's goods.

  The cold wind is blowing, and the cold wind is poured into the stomach with one mouth, and no one wants to talk too much.

   So we chatted for a few words, and everyone shut up.

  In winter, there is snow everywhere, and the rough road surface is covered with ice and snow, and it becomes much smoother.

  Sledges are more practical than horse-drawn carriages in winter. Horses pull the sledges and run quickly to the Songjiang River.

  Passing Pine Forest High School, there is a corner building. Xu Shiyan got off the sledge at the corner building, bid farewell to everyone and walked south.

  Others continued to take the sledge to the north and went to the store to buy things.

  Xu Shiyan walked for about half an hour with a big back basket on his back, and finally arrived at Zhou's house opposite Donggang Middle School.

  The door of Zhuanghuyuan was always open during the day, so Xu Shiyan entered the yard without knocking on the door.

  The Zhou family had a big green dog, and when Xu Shiyan came in, he barked.

  The people in the room heard it and came out to check, "Are you the third uncle of the Xu family?"

   It turned out that this man was twenty-four or five years old, with square features and a good appearance. He was wearing a grass-green military uniform, but his neckline and shoulders were bald.

  He looked at Xu Shiyan a few times, and asked with a little doubt.

   "It's not bad, you can still recognize me after going out to serve in the army." Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard it.

   "When did you change jobs and come back?"

   This person is Zhou Qingguo, the eldest son of Zhou.

  Because of seniority, even though he is only one year younger than Xu Shiyan, he still has to call Xu Shiyan the third uncle.

   "I've only been back for about a month, Third Uncle, come in quickly."

   Zhou Qingguo was very affectionate when he saw Xu Shiyan, so he hurriedly called Xu Shiyan into the house.

   "Dad, Mom, it's the third uncle of the big house Xu family who came." Zhou Qingguo yelled into the house while dragging Xu Shiyan into the house.

  In the east room, Zhou Changhe was talking to his wife. When he heard that Xu Shiyan had come, he hurriedly greeted him from the back room.

   "Hey, my three brothers are here? I haven't been to Donggang for a while, what are you busy with?"

   "Second brother, I'm going to Songjianghe for business today, so I stopped by to see my second brother and sister-in-law."

  Xu Shiyan smiled and nodded towards Zhou Changhe, as a greeting.

  “I’ve been watching ginseng on the mountain before, so I don’t have time to come here.

   Isn’t this some wild boar or something whole on the mountain? I was thinking about sending some to my second brother and second sister-in-law.

   It’s not a rare thing, just try something new. "

  Xu Shiyan was tossing things out of the basket while talking.

   Wild boar meat, roe deer meat, black blind legs, plus a rabbit.

   I remember someone said that the back basket can’t hold so many things. Cough cough, I have seen that kind of carrying basket, that is, a person with a height of 1.6 meters is carrying a carrying basket, and when looking from behind, only two feet can be seen. About ten years ago, farmers in Jewelry Hill would carry such large baskets and take the train to Songjianghe to sell things, such as sticky fire spoons and pancakes in winter, and melons and muskmelons in summer. I wondered how the thing with the basket on its back could move.
