Bianshanhan [farming]

When Li Qingwen said this, both Jiang and Chen laughed, "Zai'er wants to take us to live a happy life, but the broken house also has three thousand watts on top of it, so we can move it wherever we can."

Knowing that he was worried about his family, Chen said with relief: "It's just that the harvest is poor this year, and it will be better in the next year. Who can say for sure. You just go out and look outside. The birds are tired and have to look for them." Let’s take a rest on a branch, how can people float outside all the time, and when they encounter difficulties someday, at least there is still a place to stand here.”

Seeing them like this, Li Qingwen knew that he couldn't persuade him. He winked at his third brother. Li Qinghong smiled wryly and signaled him to stop talking, it was useless.

If they were not driven to a dead end, no one would abandon their homes and businesses and run thousands of miles away.

Not to mention mother and sister-in-law, I am afraid that father will not agree.

Li Qingwen sighed slightly in his heart, and said no more.

The voices of the men in the east room were loud, and there were already a hundred or so people shouting to go to the border town. Some of them wanted to make a living, and some wanted to make a lot of money like Guo Dayong and the others.

People in the village can earn tens of hundreds of copper coins in addition to farming, which is already a huge fortune. Guo Dayong and the others get back a few taels of silver, and I don’t know how many people in the village envy them.

The ancestors have worked diligently on the land for generations, and the days are still so short and leaky. Going to the border town is the only way out they know.

No matter who said to go this time, Li Maoxian would not stop him. If he still does not want to take risks at this time, the hidden danger will be even greater in the future.

Li Qingfeng was even more cheerful, saying that as long as he is agile, anyone can follow him, and once he leaves Longbei City, life and death are at stake!

Forced by the situation, and looking forward to the border town... all kinds of reasons combined, no one objected, and everyone went home to prepare after shouting.

It wasn't until midnight that the Li family became quieter. Li Qingwen sat on a stool and made dumplings with his mother. Li Qingrui had time to ask about Jiang Cong.

Li Qingfeng then told the story of their encounter with Puju people during patrolling. Although it was dangerous, they did a good job in the end. From now on, they will not take the initiative to seek trouble in the camp in the border town, and they will never be embarrassing again.

Li Maoxian nodded. Their situation is getting better and better, which is the most gratifying thing.

While talking, the dumplings were made, Chen's Zhang Luo cooked them, and Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut. Naturally, they were as delicious as before.

Li Qingwen read the letter Li Qingzhuo sent back from the capital. The letter said that he was preparing for the big exam in half a year, and asked Li Qingwen about their studies. In addition, he copied more than 30 books and went home with the letter...

For a long time, Li Qingwen felt that his second elder brother was more vicious in urging people to study than his father, and now that he read those dozens of kilograms of books, he confirmed this idea even more.

In order for their family to have a good conversation, Li Maoyu and a few children went to the West Wing Room early.

The West Wing of the Li family was originally used to store food and miscellaneous goods. When Li Maoyu and his mother and son arrived, Li Maoxian tidied it up, rebuilt the kang, and burned it with big logs for three full days.

But after all, there are no people here all the year round. The kang is hot, but it is still cold in other places. Li Maoxian wiped the mud again in the corners. Boiling water, you can change to hot water at any time to warm your body.

A thin piece of wood divided the wing into two rooms, Li Maoyu and his two daughters slept in it, and Liu Yuehao and his brother lived outside.

After closing the door, the room was dark, Liu Yuehao touched the kang, his face showed a rare excitement, and said: "Feng'er and Zai'er are going to take away a lot of people this time, mother, tell uncle, Shall we go together too?"

Liu Yueyun also raised her ears, staring at her mother intently.

"I didn't say that, your uncle saw it." Li Maoyu chuckled lightly, the elder brother was still the same as before, and he could see his thoughts at a glance.

Li Maoyu left Nanyang County for the sake of herself and her children, and when she heard her eldest brother and nephew talking about the border town, she thought about it.

She knew very well how the life of the Li family was going. She jumped out of the fire pit and must not continue to drag her brother and sister-in-law down.Even if the Li family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, it's not suitable for her as a married woman and divorced queen to live with her elder brother with such an older child, but she is worried about going to the border town, which is the best.

Going to the Northland thousands of miles away, she will not be gossiped behind her own, brother-in-law and sister-in-law. She is the least afraid of suffering and suffering. The four children are also grown up, and the land is enough to support five people. There are nephews there. look after...

As soon as they heard that their uncle would not stop them, Liu Yuehao and the others smiled a little. They also wanted to venture north to earn a foothold for their mother and younger sister.

"Stop staring at your eyes, lie down and go to sleep!" Li Maoyu said, "If you have enough energy, let us mothers not be held back by the big guys on the way!"

The children responded, lay down on the bed, closed their eyes, and thought about what kind of place the border town was.

Li Maoxian did see what his sister was thinking. When she lay down to sleep, she told Mrs. Chen that she would help the mother to pack some things for the past two days.

Mrs. Chen was lying down, but turned over and sat up, "What are you going to do in Yeyuan? I will rent a shop for them in the county town in spring to start a small business. It's close to us, so I can support you if you need something."

"If you don't care about the hardships on the road, county towns are no better than border towns." Li Maoxian said as he laid his head up.

"A few of you went to the border town, and each of you seems to have left Hun'er there." Chen said with a smile: "Zai'er also said today that we should all go to the border town, and the boss and the third child also talked about the border town when they were at home." That’s good, that’s good, that’s where the gods live.”

"There are no gods, there is an invisible land, and there are more than a dozen big rivers that will not stop flowing." Li Maoxian said, and they are all unowned. He still dreams about that place now and then.

Yangshu Village didn't have any of these two things, so Mrs. Chen stopped talking.

"Maoyu can't stop what Maoyu thinks about." Li Maoxian said: "She has always had an idea, even after being wasted all these years, she hasn't changed. No matter how much hardship she endured on the road, it can't compare to her years in the Liu family. Suffering, let her go."

The Chen family no longer has another word, Li Maoxian will definitely not harm her own sister, and she also believes in the head of the family.

This night, every household in Yangshu Village was not asleep, they were talking about going to the border town in the dark, Li Qingwen and Li Qingfeng fell asleep quickly.

Li Qingwen only felt that he had just fallen asleep, and then he was awakened by a burst of crying. The crying was very loud, and he was clearly not in the same room, but it seemed as if it was right next to his ears.

Li Qingfeng was kicked out of Westinghouse by Mrs. Chen, and he was still arguing, "I wanted to hug her, but before I touched her, she cried, it's not my fault!"

Li Zhengming saw it, and he testified for the fourth uncle: "The fourth uncle just wanted to make my sister laugh, and the little quilt didn't even touch it."

"Your fourth uncle's little sister, you can learn from grandma."

Li Zhengming obediently inserted his fingers into his nostrils, widened his eyes, and followed Li Qingfeng's "ho ho" sound.

He tried his best to imitate, so Li Qingfeng received two slaps again.

When Li Qingfeng fled, he didn't forget to bring his little nephew with him, and when Li Qingwen began to get dressed, he pressed Li Zhengming on the kang and creaked.

Li Zhengming was completely powerless to fight back, like a small fish, jumping non-stop on the kang.

Li Qingwen hadn't dressed neatly yet, so he quickly rescued his little nephew from fourth brother's grasp.

Li Zhengming laughed so hard that he lost his strength, lying in Li Qingwen's arms and panting, "Uncle, can you take me away?"

"As long as your father nods, my uncle will also carry you to the border town." Li Qingwen said as he smoothed his messy hair.

"Your uncle can't control you!" Li Qingfeng said: "He has Big Brother Jiang, and everyone else has to wait behind."

"Then I will be able to row behind Big Brother Jiang." Li Zhengming has never been greedy.

Li Qingwen smiled, and pinched his face, "You have to call Uncle Jiang, he likes you just like my uncle, when you go to the border town, I'll ask him to take you out on a horse."

When he heard about riding a horse, Li Zhengming was afraid and looked forward to it. He felt that his fourth uncle riding a horse was too majestic, even if the horse was a bit high, it would definitely hurt if he fell off.

Li Qingfeng patted the kang, laughing non-stop, "Big Brother, Big Brother, why don't you two boys have a seniority until now, our old Li's family has such a silly baby?"

Li Qingrui was chopping firewood outside, when he heard the commotion in the house, he smiled and said: "Don't talk about them, when you were young, you wished to be like your grandpa every day, and you called your uncle with a beard a nephew, and the soles of your grandpa's shoes almost broke. "

Li Qingfeng didn't believe it at all, so he snorted, went outside and grabbed Li Zhengliang, and asked him if he was stupid, but was slapped several times by Mrs. Chen.

Li Qingwen dressed to see his little niece, and the little girl looked at him with her fingers in her mouth. The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a moment, and then the little girl peed...

The quiet morning of the Li family was very short, and soon Li Benshan and Guo Daquan came, and they were still discussing about going to the border town. In the past, the most talked about was whether to go, but now they have to be careful on the road. What to bring home.

There are quite a few people going this time, one or two in each family, almost half of the young and strong people in the village.Such a long road, in a world of ice and snow, will cost half the life of a family, so we cannot be too cautious.

Of course, the more things you bring, the better, but few families in the village have livestock, and bedding and dry food are essential for people to travel. Apart from these two, what you can bring depends on how strong you are.

The discussion was almost over, Li Maoxian and others went to the county seat, pooled up the money, invited them many times, and stood in the cold wind for several days, the master of the county government finally nodded and was willing to guide them on the customs clearance road.

Amidst the noise and crying, the ancestral hall was reopened in the village, and a group of men went inside to kowtow to their ancestors.

The 300 of them are not only the hope of each family, but also the expectation of the village. During this long journey, I ask the spirits of the ancestors in heaven to bless the success of the descendants and the continuity of the blood.

The man who usually bleeds and doesn't shed tears, his eyes are red at this time, it's just a good year, if it's not good, they are the only hope for the family, and his life is not just his own.

After kowtowing from the ancestral hall, Li Qingwen's brothers and Li Maoyu's family followed Li Maoxian to the back mountain, swept away the floating snow from the graves of grandparents, and knelt on the ground in rows.

Li Maoyu and Li Maoxian were at the front. Li Maoyu wept against the wind and fell to the cold ground. She was not supposed to come to the grave as a girl, but she might never come back when she went back to the border town. This time, maybe it was her and her father. Mother's last side.

Liu Yuehao and his brothers shook their heads, vowing to take good care of their mother and older sisters, so as not to embarrass the Li family.

Li Qingrui and Li Qinghong went to pull them.

The north wind was blowing, and Li Qingwen didn't realize that tears were streaming down his face until pain like a knife was felt on his face.

At this moment, he already understood that even though this piece of land was so barren, it was the place where they were raised, their home was here, their roots were here, and leaving would be a tear of flesh and blood.

There were also bursts of crying elsewhere on the mountain, each with its own farewell.

Supporting each other to stand up, when walking down the mountain, the wind became stronger, as if urging them to go home early, Li Qingwen turned his head to look at the lonely grave, and wiped his sweat and tears.

On the day they left, there was a huge battle. The ancestors of the same clan leaned on crutches, the grandmas supported each other tremblingly, and the babies in swaddling babies were hugged by their mothers, and they all came out to see them off.

When Li Qingwen and others went outside the village, they turned around and kowtowed, they didn't throw the dirt on their bodies, and took a step forward, no one dared to look back, for fear that the tears would not stop.

The old man and the child were sent to the entrance of the village, and watched them leave, their shadows were gone, and they were unwilling to go home.

Li Maoxian and others sent to the gate of the county seat, but also stopped.

Li Maoxian called the three sons together and said a few words individually, the three brothers were all surprised, and nodded slowly after a while.

Li Maoxian patted the shoulders of the three sons, with reluctance on his face, and more pride.

Hao Erlang, who can support the beam at home, and go out to travel around, his sons are all good-looking!
