Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

In the evening, Xu Maobin took his eldest son back to Xujiacun. The three Xu brothers sat together for a meal. At the dinner table, Xu Maoshan talked about borrowing money after expressing his brotherly love.

Xu Maobin didn't hesitate and agreed, but he didn't borrow too much from outside. He just said that his family was also in difficulty. There was a drought and the shops in the town had been closed. He spent a lot of money buying food a few days ago, so he I can only take out twenty taels.

Even these twenty taels have touched the family fortune.

This is a hint that it is useless to borrow money only once, and then use it in the name of supporting Xu Huaiyu's education in the future. Giving twenty taels is out of brotherly love, and it can be regarded as an investment, but he does not open a bank. , you can take it whenever you want.

Xu Maoshan was originally very happy because his brother did not push back, but when he heard such words again, the smile on his face became a little stiffer.

Xu Maoyuan looked on coldly and remained silent. The brothers clearly settled the accounts, not to mention that they had been separated for many years and they were both grandfathers, so the accounts were even clearer.

Money exchanges should be stopped in moderation.

After drinking for a while, Xu Maobin asked about his escape with a sad look on his face.

Xu Maoyuan said calmly, "It has been decided that we will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Those who want to leave will follow, and those who don't want to leave will stay and endure."

When Xu Maobin heard this, he was slightly surprised. He hadn't been back for a few days, but he still knew something about what happened in the village. But when he came back this time, he obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, especially the cold attitude of his elder brother. After a lot of alienation, he laughed dryly a few times and said haha, "That's it, that's okay..."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Xu Maoshan and asked, "Second brother, what are your plans?"

Xu Maoshan took a sip of wine and said pointedly, "Huaiyu has gone to Qingzhou, can I leave him alone?" After saying that, he asked him again, "What about you?"

Xu Maobin suddenly looked confused, "I haven't thought about it yet..."

When Xu Maoshan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, "You are not short of food. As long as you save enough to eat until next spring, God can it not rain every year? Just wait until next year. There is no need to leave your home and business. flee from famine……"

Xu Maobin shook his head solemnly, "It's not that simple, second brother, even if we have enough food, what about other people's families? When they are very hungry, will they steal or rob? In recent towns and counties, There have been several cases of people robbing food, and they all resorted to knives, and there are also many well-off families who simply moved their families to live in Qingzhou City, which is not a good sign."

After hearing these words, Xu Maoshan's face became unhappy, "Hasn't the county government been arresting people? Can they still let those bandits run rampant? Besides, there are also the garrison in Qingzhou City. With so many soldiers here, who dares Are you making trouble without your life?"

Xu Maobin said meaningfully, "What the second brother said makes sense, but I'm afraid that distant water cannot save the near fire..."

How could Xu Maoshan fail to understand the meaning behind his words? This was a tendency to flee. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "So, you want to leave?"

Xu Maobin sighed helplessly, "I'll think about it for a few more days. Even if it's not for food, the wells in the town won't be enough..."

He said this again, making Xu Maoshan's expression darker and darker, "We have a new well drilled in the village. Water is not a problem. You can move back here."

Xu Maobin said vaguely, "Let's talk about it..."

He, the second brother, was preoccupied with his son's entrance examination. Like Zhongxie, he was completely unable to see the crisis in front of him. It was clear that he was the most scheming person in the entire Xu family...

But it was the third nephew, the most honest and trustworthy person in the family, who showed him something. He had the courage to clean up and leave the house, and he also played such a beautiful trick and took out a group of brothers who bullied him. He was rewarded, but he was still able to hold his own and not be disliked by the villagers. Now, it is said that he was the first to bring up the issue of fleeing from famine. After that, he was also vaguely in the leading position. Even the village chief cared about his opinion. Discuss the matter with him.

If it weren't for the second brother's face, he would have wanted to meet this reborn nephew in person tonight to see how he got the village chief's favor.

Xu Huaiyi, whom he was thinking about, was playing chess with the cheap guy at the moment.

The two men sat cross-legged on the kang, fighting heartily. Next to them was a round box, with some food in each small compartment, such as melon seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, pomegranates and green dates.

He was multitasking. While playing chess, he did not delay the work at hand. He could crack the walnuts with just a squeeze, pick out the kernels inside, and carefully tear off the brown coat bit by bit. Go, otherwise they will taste bitter and affect the taste. The same is true for chestnuts. After peeling off the shell, they were placed in a clean small porcelain bowl and served to Gu Huanxi.

Gu Huanxi didn't do needlework at night because it was too much trouble for her eyes, but it was dark and she couldn't just lie down and sleep, right? So, she dug out this travel journal and saw that it was not from the RV, but from the original owner's father, Gu Jian.

Gu Jian took the original owner to travel for more than ten years. Although the material life was a little difficult, the spiritual world was rich and colorful. Finally, he settled in Xujiacun, leaving the most precious thing to the original owner, not only the dowry but also the It wasn't a son-in-law chosen for her, but a box of books.

Others only thought that Gu Jian gave all his books to the Xu family. In fact, they were only a small part, which were hand-copied by the original master. Gu Jian kept all the really good books and hid them here. In the house.

It's just that the original owner didn't attach much importance to these before, and Xu Huaiyi was not good at writing. These things that Gu Jian regarded as very precious were forgotten by the original owner and his wife.

It wasn't until Gu Huanxi moved over that he dug out the books.

There is a whole box. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics used in the imperial examination, there are also many history books and travel notes, and even books on arithmetic and law.

This is a family heirloom.

After Gu Huanxi sorted them out, he put them in the RV, leaving only a few books to read outside.

The travel notes were written by Gu Jian, and they were what she was most interested in. This could help her quickly integrate into the world. She sat next to the oil lamp, eating walnuts and chestnuts, reading with relish.

She ate calmly, Xu Huaiyi peeled it naturally, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

No one thought anything was wrong.

Gu Xiaoyu took a deep breath. He was slowly getting used to it. It was just a husband serving his wife. It was no big deal. The piano and the harp were singing in harmony. How beautiful!

He silently dropped a chess piece, his expression becoming more and more at ease.

Gu Huanxi stuffed a handful into his hand, "You can eat too..."

Gu Xiaoyu tightened his grip and caught a glimpse of Xu Huaiyi's slightly sad and sour eyes opposite him. The corners of his lips curled up and he said, "Thank you, mother. It's just that my father peeled it off for you with his own hands. How can my son compete with you?"

Gu Huanxi didn't hear the smell of tea, and said very naturally and casually, "You don't have the strength to pinch walnuts with your bare hands now. When you are older, your father and I will wait for you to show your filial piety. Now, it's us." I will take care of you first, so you can eat with peace of mind..."

"Yes, thank you mother, but my son will be disrespectful..." Gu Xiaoyu stuffed a piece of walnut kernel into his mouth. He usually didn't like the taste of it, but now that he chewed it into his mouth, it felt particularly delicious.
