Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

"Mom reminded you not to show kindness randomly on the way to escape from the famine, but you didn't agree to it. You left some room and thought that it was necessary to help the old, weak, sick and disabled..."

Xu Huaiyi said tangledly, "I also know that it is not appropriate. I will definitely leave it alone for outsiders, but shouldn't fellow villagers help each other? You can't just ignore death. In the future, when we get to the capital, everyone will have to put aside their efforts." We are together, we can't just live our own lives behind closed doors, that won't get us far, and when we encounter difficulties, others will just stand by and watch."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu was almost shaken by what he said, "Although what you said makes some sense, my mother didn't mean to stop you from helping others. But when it comes time to settle down, our family will have enough resources. If you have good intentions, my mother will probably not stop you, but on the way to escape, there are too many variables and many crises, so you still have to exercise restraint and put your own safety first. As for others, you have to harden your heart when it's time to harden your heart."

"I can be hard-hearted. When I went to Qingzhou before, the refugees offered me food, but I refused cruelly. I even pulled out the machete. It wasn't just to scare them. If they had stopped me at that time, I would have cut them. I promise you won’t hesitate when cutting it. You’ve seen me deal with those people who snatched food before..."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu was really stumped. Indeed, the scene when the two met for the first time is still vivid in his mind. It was also because he saw the killing courage and iron-blooded bravery of the soldiers in him that he took the gamble. It is his destiny to accept him as his father. This is not a pretense, it is his nature. But being so soft-hearted and kind-hearted is not a lie...

Can a person be so contradictory?

His probing and doubtful eyes made Xu Huaiyi smile, "What's that look in your eyes? I'm not schizophrenic, my inner world is so colorful, isn't it?"

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

The two men looked at each other for a moment, and then Xu Huaiyi said, "Forget it, I'm just wrong if I'm wrong. Anyway, in our family, what your mother says is the imperial edict. From now on, we just have to obey orders."

"So, did you listen to me? Are you still going to leave as planned?"

"No, after being moved by love and understanding for your father, your mother finally agreed to my father's request."

"..."

Gu Xiaoyu was dubious and went to Gu Huanxi for confirmation.

Gu Huanxi explained, "The result of weighing the pros and cons."

After weighing it, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so she naturally agreed. Otherwise, even if Xu Huaiyi said to break the sky, she would not nod. If she really wanted to cure him, she still had a way.

At night, Xu Huaiyi was treated by her and begged for mercy.

If a woman wants to deal with men, she only needs to be ruthless, use the right method, and keep them submissive.

In the next few days, those in the village who decided to leave began to prepare hurriedly, while those who were still watching were hesitant, and those who had no intention of leaving looked on with cold eyes and said a few words of cold water from time to time.

"Why go? How can we get to that point? The imperial court will definitely provide disaster relief. Just wait. Besides, if it doesn't work, you can still go to Qingzhou to beg for food. Isn't it better than fleeing the famine?"

"That's right, is running away a good way out? That's a narrow escape. How many people can survive? No one buries me when I die on the road. I don't want to be a lonely ghost."

"It's better to endure it at home. You can always get through it. In the past few years, we didn't encounter droughts and no one had to flee. This is our root. People leave their hometown and are humble. When they go outside, they have no land and no money. , how are your days?"

"You are young after all, you have no hair on your lips, you are not very efficient in your work, you just fuss over the smallest things, instigate this, instigate that, and you don't know what your intentions are?"

"Show off what he can do..."

"He has a long-term vision and a sense of crisis, which makes everyone else seem like idiots, haha..."

These words had no impact on those who were determined, but those who were already hesitant became panicked, and among them were members of the Xu family.

Originally, Xu Maoyuan came back from Qingzhou and persuaded them to escape together. However, after hearing these words, they were undecided again, and Xu Maoyuan came to the door angrily.

We are not looking for those who are wavering, but our brothers.

That's right, most of these words came from Li Qiuhua's mouth. The whole village counted her jumping up and down the most happily, as if she would not stop until her escape was disturbed.

Naturally, Xu Maoyuan couldn't directly reprimand a niece-in-law. He asked his brother with a stern face, "Maoshan, what do you mean? If your family doesn't leave, I don't have to force you to leave. What happened behind the scenes is to drag you down." Do you want the entire Xu family to stay with you?"

Xu Maoshan said calmly, "Brother, I don't mean anything. The second daughter-in-law is just a woman. She can't control her mouth and just talk nonsense outside. How can she shake the morale of the army? Those who want to leave will still leave. Those who don't want to leave will still leave. No one can leave."

"you……"

In the main room, besides the two of them, Xu Huaili was also there. Seeing that Xu Maoyuan was about to get angry, he took over the words with a playful smile, "Uncle, don't be angry. I will take care of Madam Da Lang later and take it out on you. However, this matter is not my dad's business." It doesn’t matter, my dad is not in good health during this period and has been raising him at home.”

Xu Maoyuan glanced at him and said, "Huai Li, do you think doing this will hurt Huai Yi?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaili's face changed, and he said with a stiff smile, "My nephew doesn't understand what uncle said. The uncle just complained a few times, but he had no intention of competing with the third child. Besides, with his abilities and methods, we can't The two of us can't fight, but we don't dare to mess with him, lest we get slapped in the face again, my nephew really won't be able to survive."

Xu Maoyuan said calmly, "It would be great if you really think so."

Xu Huaili's expression became stiffer and stiffer, and he almost couldn't sit still.

Only then did Xu Maoyuan look away and turned to ask Xu Maoshan, "Tell me the truth, what is your arrangement here? Are you really not going to leave? Or do you have to wait a little longer?"

Xu Maoshan did not answer directly, but said, "I plan to let Huaiyu go to Qingzhou."

These words not only stunned Xu Maoyuan, but also shocked Xu Huaili, "Dad, when did you decide? Go to Qingzhou. Do we have that much money?"

Once Xu Maoshan made a decision, his heart became hardened, "If you think of a way, you can always make it happen."

"father……"

"Okay, I've made up my mind."

Xu Huaili looked anxious. He couldn't sit still at all. How could he not know what was going on at home? If I want to raise money for my fifth son to go to Qingzhou to study, then this family will really have to spend a lot of money. Even if there is hope, it will have to wait until next year. How will I spend more than half a year?

They still hope that the scholar from No. 5 Middle School will follow suit, but the premise is that they can't wrong themselves too much. Now they have saved to one meal a day, and if they take out all the money, how miserable will they be?

Even Xu Maoyuan frowned and said disapprovingly, "In this current situation, is it appropriate to go to Qingzhou to study? You can't just look after Huaiyu for this big family..."

Xu Maoshan interrupted, "Brother, I don't just care about Huaiyu. It is for the sake of this big family that I gritted my teeth and asked him to go to Qingzhou to study. His husband said that based on Huaiyu's knowledge, if nothing unexpected happens, a scholar will be born next year. That’s right, ninety-nine steps have been taken, why can’t you fall on this last step? Then isn’t all the money you spent before was wasted?”

When Xu Maoyuan heard this, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just asked, "Can you come up with that money?"

Xu Maoshan said calmly, "When Mao Bin comes, I plan to borrow some from him."
