If it weren't for the famine, Jiang Jiang would definitely have planned to help him take back the old house and find him a job so that at least he could grow up safely.

But the situation is different now. They are going to escape famine and have to bring a child with them on the road. Even if Jiang Jiang is willing, he has to consider the opinions of everyone in the family.

Huang Ying was in a dilemma. It was not right to bring it with her, nor was it right not to bring it with her.

"If we leave Little Stone behind, he's a child and he probably won't survive."

But everyone has fled from famine, so who would take care of other children? They can’t even take care of their own children.

Sun Qiaoqiao rarely said anything, and seemed to be thinking about something.

It is said that three women make a play, but in today's play, none of the three spoke much.

After a long while, Sun Qiaoqiao spoke up: "Mom, let's take Xiao Shitou with us. His family members are all dead. I will adopt him as my godson. What do you think?"

"You know Laibao's body..."

Li Laibao has always been in poor health. Now that the whole family is fleeing famine, the conditions are certainly not as good as at home. Sun Qiaoqiao is also afraid that he will die young, so she must leave a descendant for Li Sheng. It just so happens that Xiao Shitou comes, which is also fate.

Jiang Jiang did not pat his chest and say that he would make sure everyone in his family would live safely. This kind of thing needs to be done, not talked about.

Since Sun Qiaoqiao is willing to adopt a godson, Jiang Jiang naturally won't stop her.

She found Xiao Shitou and asked for his opinion.

Looking at Jiang Jiang, Li Xu, Li Sheng, Huang Ying, Sun Qiaoqiao, Li Cuicui and others who treated him very well on weekdays, and Li Laibao who was holding the fried soybeans with saliva marks on them, Xiao Shitou knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Dad! Mom! Sister! Brother! And, Grandma!" Sun Qiaoqiao quickly helped Xiao Shitou up.

"There are still a few sets of clothes at home. They belong to your father. I will alter them for you so that you can wear them as you wish."

Li Sheng didn't say much, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Li Zhaodi and Li Pandi were a little shy. They held hands and stood aside, quietly observing this brother who dropped from the sky.

"Okay, Little Stone, I'll go tell the village chief this afternoon that you will be the child of the Li family from now on. Grandma will give you a name, like Li Ping'an. You will live in peace and safety from now on."

"Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an, from now on I will be called Li Ping'an." Little Stone kept repeating the name, obviously liking it very much.

"Ping An, you should stay with brothers Dong Liang and Chang Yuan tonight. We will leave Daxi Village early tomorrow morning."

Li Ping'an nodded, and suddenly he picked up his backpack, took out dozens of coins from under the brown rice, and handed them to Jiang Jiang.

"Grandma, this is the money I saved before, give it to my family."

Jiang Jiang didn't want it, so he gave the money to Sun Qiaoqiao.

"Mom, keep this money and use it to buy delicious food for your brothers and sisters."

These words directly touched Sun Qiaoqiao's heart, and she now liked Li Ping'an more and more.

Li Zhaodi and Li Pandi also developed a liking for their new brother, and he wanted to buy them delicious food.

Soon, Li Pingan integrated into this big family.

The children don’t understand what it means to leave their hometown, but the older generation knows, and the original owner knows.

This migration will never be easy.

All the adults in the family were preparing to escape the famine.

The ox cart that Jiang Jiang brought back earlier came in handy at this time.

Food, drinks, clothes, all the heavy things in the house can be moved onto the ox cart, and a small area can be left on which to spread straw and cotton cloth so that the children can take turns to rest when they are tired.

There were originally three hens in the yard. In order to celebrate Xiao Shitou joining their family, Li Sheng slaughtered one so that everyone could have a good meal before leaving.

Not only the Jiang Jiang family did this, but other families did the same thing.

There were too many chickens and ducks at home, and we couldn’t take them away, so we had to kill them first, eat the edible ones, and smoke the rest into jerky.

Jiang Jiang had a lot of bran left at home, so he planned to take the remaining two hens with him on the road so that he could have fresh eggs to eat.

"Moo~"

Jiang Jiang fed the yellow cow a handful of grass, gave it a few sips of water, and patted its head.

"Let's go."

Li Xu and Li Sheng took turns pushing a small wheelbarrow. Huang Ying, Sun Qiaoqiao and Li Cuicui carried large backpacks. Several older children also carried packages, especially Xiao Shitou, who carried a package and held Laibao in one hand.

The rest of the families were no less fortunate than Jiang Jiang's family. They took away almost everything they could.

Even a bowl or a wooden barrel is wealth to them.

It was early morning, the sky was just getting light, and everyone could barely see the road conditions ahead.

At the beginning, there were whispers in the team, but after walking for an hour, only the uneven footsteps were left.

"We're almost at the town, everyone, hold on a little longer." Li Shuming looked at the town not far away and gave encouragement.

The big guy lived up to everyone's expectations and arrived at the town gate in one go.

At this time, the Zhou family was counting the number of people and carriages. Jiang Jiang took Li Shuming to inform the housekeeper Zhou in advance.

"Just follow us later." Butler Zhou took out some silver and said a few words to the soldiers guarding the town gate. The soldier looked at the people from Jiangjiang Village and nodded.

Li Shuming breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest advantage of following the Zhou family was that he could take the official road, which was both worry-free and safe.

"You guys take a rest. We'll set off in half an hour." Without having time to greet Jiang Jiang, Butler Zhou was busy counting various supplies.

Jiang Jiang returned to the ox cart, picked up the wrap that had been placed in the package, and started eating it with cold water.

In order to save more time for traveling and resting, Jiang Jiang and his team prepared several days' worth of dry food. In addition to rolls, there were also fried rice and fried noodles, which could be preserved for a long time and eaten at any time.

"Mom, look, are those people behind us from Willow Village?" Li Cuicui was pouring a glass of water for Jiang Jiang. When she looked up, she saw people from Willow Village walking towards the town in a mighty manner, obviously following them secretly.

Not only Li Cuicui discovered it, but everyone in Daxi Village discovered it.

"Why are you following us?!" Li Chunhua, relying on the support of her sons, was not afraid of the people from Liushu Village at all and asked loudly.

"What do you mean we should follow you? This road wasn't built by people from your Daxi Village. Can you control where we go?"

The people of Willow Village were clamoring loudly. Now that they were in the town, could they still fight?

"You! You are so shameless!" Li Chunhua, who has always been eloquent, was also speechless.

"Let's go! Let's go! Those behind follow!" Li Shuming stood at the front and greeted every household in Daxi Village.

Seeing that the people from Daxixi Village had moved, the people from Liushu Village shamelessly followed behind.

"Wait! This person is not from our village." Li Shuming stopped the chief of Liushu Village who was standing in the front.
