Chapter 19 You escaped famine more than once, right?
Shen Yunxi called Tian Daniu, and Tian Xiuli went to find Village Chief Tian, Yang Dacui, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, uncle village chief, how long does it take to get to Dadu Pass? Does it also take time for us to cross to the south?"
Chief Tamura nodded and replied: "Yes, you can go to the other side of the river by boat to the Qingmei River, even to the south. If everything goes well, it will take ten days.
The south is humid and rainy, with abundant products and rich people. The government will open warehouses to release food. When the drought is over, the government will have a residents' newspaper and send us money and food, and we can go back to our hometowns."
I heard that Chief Tamura was familiar with all this, and it didn't look like it was his first time escaping from famine.
Shen Yunxi asked: "Uncle village chief, how do you know so much? You have escaped famine more than once, right?"
After hearing this, Chief Tamura showed a proud expression.
The local government ran out of food. It was too far away. The food sent by the court could only save three kilograms, which was too expensive. Later, the government acquiesced and even encouraged us to escape the famine. It would be best to go with us all the way and bring Serve food. Although it’s hard work, it’s better to stay home and starve.”
After hearing what Village Chief Tian said, Shen Yunxi was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Village Chief, our place is poor and prone to disasters. Why do you want to escape famine instead of settling in the south?"
After hearing this, Village Chief Tian and his wife Yang Dacui shook their heads and sighed: "They are far away from home. We are not locals. We stay there and cannot understand what people are saying. The locals look down on us. It is best after the famine. Go back to your hometown."
Yang Dacui also nodded in agreement: "Golden Nest and Silver Nest are not as good as our doghouses. No one in their hometown looks down on us. Not only do they look down on us, they are also bullied outside.
Besides, we have no money and no food. We can't buy a house and a business there. We can't live well if we stay there all the time. We'd better go home. As long as there are no floods, the house and yard will still be there. The fields can continue to be cultivated.”
People around them also said that it was not good to stay in the local area. They were full of rumors. In any case, they would rather escape the famine than stay in the local area.
Shen Yunxi is just the opposite. She doesn't want to escape this wilderness every few years. After arriving in the south, she will find a way to stay in the south.
It's too early to say this now. Even the well-informed village chief Tian is unwilling to stay, let alone the villagers who are drifting with the crowd.
When Shen Yunxi was chatting with the village chief's uncle and aunt, Tian Yuncui, who was not far away, looked here from time to time and whispered: "Grandma!"
Mr. Tian looked gloomy and shouted quickly: "Shut up, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Tian Yuncui rolled her eyes because of her father's scolding and was not honest. "Mom, I haven't had rice porridge for several days. I want to drink porridge."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family, Zheng Guizhen, and the second daughter-in-law, Zhang Shuxiang, kept rolling their eyes after hearing what their sister-in-law said. The rice porridge at home was eaten by their parents-in-law, who also recognized it. People think that their younger generations are filial to their elders, but the sister-in-law can eat it alone. More than half. Through robbery, they could only get half a bowl of porridge for their children.
The two daughters-in-law have not had rice porridge since they left home.
Old Mrs. Tian didn't want to eat wild vegetable dumplings either. She just saw her eldest daughter-in-law rolling her eyes and she was immediately upset. "Boss, you can borrow half a bag of rice from your fourth siblings in the future, and we will return it to them when we go back."
Zheng Guizhen had just been caught by her mother-in-law and rolled her eyes. She felt very guilty. She knew that the old woman was particularly good at pretending. She would be miserable in front of her son, shed tears, and then say a few specious words. Her man would
Like a wild beast. He felt that she was in conflict with her mother-in-law, so he started beating her.
At first she resisted, but the man even beat his two daughters. In order to protect their children, Zheng Guizhen had to accept them.
Zheng Guizhen also learned how to be a good person. When her mother-in-law asked her to go, she went: "Okay, mother, I will tell my fourth brother and sister-in-law now."
As for the fourth younger sister, even if she didn't want to borrow it, she still had to give it a try.
