Chapter 112: Survival in the Drought Year (2)
Grandpa shook his head and said, "Mother Zhuzi, you sold the pigs and chickens, and we won't eat meat during Chinese New Year? My three grandchildren still have to wear new clothes!"
Grandma stared at Grandpa with a fierce look, "What new clothes do you wear? Just take out the blue cloth at the bottom of my suitcase and share among the three children!"
Grandpa sighed, and didn't intend to persuade grandma anymore, but said with a final word: "Don't persuade me, I have already made up my mind, I must go to the deep mountains this year... Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with other people in the village. Sometimes there are dozens of us together, and if the tiger sees it, he has to avoid it!"
The old lady's eyes turned red instantly, and she looked at the old man quietly.
The father turned his head on purpose, instead of looking at his mother, he just held the two children tightly.
Su Ning sighed, but she also wanted to persuade her to be poorer if she was poorer. She didn't have to eat meat or new clothes, but she couldn't ignore her pregnant mother.
Even if a woman gives birth on the plane where she is, there is no guarantee of [-]% safety, let alone the ancient times where medical technology is backward.
No one knows what will happen at that time, of course, it is more reassuring to have sufficient money.
Therefore, the family desperately needs money.
……
The courtyard fell silent for a moment, no one spoke, only the soft sobbing of the old lady.
Suning took Heitan's younger brother to wipe away tears for his old mother, but he couldn't say any words of comfort.
In the end, the old lady hugged the two children and cried loudly. Goudan didn't know what was going on, and started crying too, which made Suning feel sore.
At this moment, the egg suddenly said in his mind: "Let me tell you about the original body's wishes, two, one is to prevent grandpa and father from going up the mountain, and the other is for the whole family to live through the next three years."
Suning raised his eyebrows when he heard it. It wasn't what the egg said, but the sound of the egg choking.
But she refrained from asking, it was nothing more than how miserable the family was, and she would know after looking at the original body's memory.
At this moment, the old lady is sad, even if she can't cry with her, she doesn't want to be half-hearted.
Fortunately, my father finally couldn't sit still after being stared at three times by grandma, and moved the small bench towards my mother, "Guizhi, don't cry."
Although it was dry, but Suning felt that the crying of the old lady seemed to be a little softer?
"Gui Zhi, my father and I will return safely. At that time, I have to watch the birth of the third child and give the third child a name, and watch the spring flowers in our family get married, and the dog eggs marry a wife." My father's eyes were red, and he patted my mother's back lightly, "Guizhi, Guizhi, don't cry."
The old lady couldn't bear it any longer, regardless of her parents-in-law and father-in-law, she threw herself into the arms of her father, Suning and Goudan were squeezed in the middle, afraid of her big belly, she didn't dare to move at all.
Fortunately, the grandparents were still sensible, so they quickly fished out the grandchildren and brought them into the room by the way.
The windows in this room are even smaller, so a little bit of moonlight can see through, and the general outline of the room can be barely recognized, but the strange smell can be smelled without moonlight.
Putting the grandchildren into the innermost part, grandma and grandpa also lay down next to each other, patting the backs of Suning and Goudan gently, "Good boy, go to sleep..."
Just after repeating this sentence, Suning heard Goudan purring.
She also pretended to close her eyes, breathing evenly, and sure enough, she heard grandma say after a while, "They are all asleep."
Su Ning wanted the egg to transfer her memories, when she heard grandma sobbing softly, "Old man——"
Grandpa turned over impatiently, "What are you doing?"
"Think of that silver hairpin, don't go to the mountains."
"No, that's your dowry." Grandpa said in a muffled voice.
Grandma's tone softened, "What's yours and mine? We've spent half our lives together, and our granddaughter is five years old. You still distinguish me so clearly?"
"No."
"You—" Grandma got angry, and pushed Grandpa hard, halfway through the push but suddenly stopped, and toppled Grandpa halfway, she herself sat up suddenly, with serious eyes, and said in a trembling voice , "Old man, tell me the truth, why do you have to go to the mountains?"
"Didn't I say, Gui Zhi is about to give birth, I can't treat my grandchildren badly."
"Bah!" Grandma pointed at grandpa, "Old man, I have been married to you for 20 years, and you still want to lie to me? Tell me, what's going on?"
This silver hairpin was all that was left of the dowry she brought back then, and the others could be used, but the last one couldn't be used, the old man must have something to hide from her.
Grandpa secretly opened his eyes, and there was deep fatigue in the cloudy eyes.
Grandma couldn't wait for Grandpa's answer, so she was anxious, "Old man, if you don't tell me, I'll go to the village and ask, I don't believe that the whole village doesn't know."
"Okay, let me tell you." Grandpa also sat up, "Er Wazi came back from the county the other day, saying that General Cheng had colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. Tens of thousands of people died at the border this time. The higher-ups can't wait until the spring of next year. Conscription The order will come down in a few days, and by then, there will be two males under the age of 45 and over 12 in each household."
Grandma burst into tears, "What should I do?"
Grandpa sighed, "If it's General Cheng who leads the army, at worst, I'll go and use money to offset it for my son, but General Cheng was framed by them for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and now the man in charge of the army is the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is Chen Guo's son-in-law." , if we go, we will die."
"We summed it up, why not venture up the mountain, if we can hunt wild boars, sell them for money, offset the military service, and subsidize the family by the way... Otherwise, even if we go to the border, it will be a dead end."
Grandma's tears flowed even more fiercely, "These people, why are these people so bad, General Cheng is such a good person, what will we do in the future!"
Suning didn't listen to what grandpa and grandma said later, and Dandan was telling her about the world plot of this plane, "The son-in-law is actually the fourth prince of Chen Guo, and also the hero of this plane. The princess is the heroine, and she loves the son-in-law deeply After knowing that my mother was killed by the emperor's favorite concubine, she treasoned the country and sided with the son-in-law, the husband and wife endured the humiliation, and finally turned the country of Daqing into Dachen."
"I was originally a small farmer, so I can't get along with the hero and heroine, right?"
"No, when the original body died, the hero and heroine hadn't succeeded yet, but the biggest villain has something to do with you."
"what relationship?"
"The villain boss Cheng Yongxu is the youngest son of General Cheng that your grandfather mentioned. He is the only one from the Cheng family who escaped. He will settle down in your village... He is very skilled in martial arts, you can take him as your teacher."
