Father Liu looked at the heated discussion and shook his head to dissuade them.

"Okay, don't worry. It's the middle of the night and it's pitch black. There's no point in getting excited. You can't do anything now. You can't see anything clearly when you go out at night. Let's arrange other things first. Since we know that we have traveled to a strange place, we have to make up our family background again.

Well! That's it! From now on, you must change your name to "dad and mom" when you call your parents. Change the name as soon as possible to adapt. And Xiao Zhang, you have been coming to our house since you were a teenager. Your aunt Liu and I have long regarded you as our own daughter. The ancient feudal society was not equal to women. From today on, your name should be the same as mine, Liu Caiyun, and you are Caixia's biological sister. We are a real family.

As for the rest of your family, just say they all died while fleeing the famine. Caixia, your husband and in-laws are all dead, and only one daughter, Jiang Xiaolu, is still alive. Xiaolu will have to call her mother in the future, and your aunt Zhang will be your real aunt in the future. If you ask if there are any other relatives, just say they are all dead. You should know that in ancient times, it was the men who set up households, so it will be convenient for me to set up a household and live with you."

Father Liu was helpless when he saw the women in the family. What should he do? He had traveled to this strange ancient time. Although he did not understand the customs of this dynasty, it was always right to make plans for the women in the family in advance. In ancient times, no matter how open the customs were, there were still restrictions.

Sister Zhang was very grateful and happy to hear that Father Liu could think of her like this. It was a blessing for her to meet their family in this life. Why would she disagree? She nodded and said, "Mom and Dad, it is my blessing to meet you in this life. Thank you!"

Mother Liu was also very happy. With such a relationship, they would be closer and more solid: "Okay, I have two daughters now, and we will live a good life as a family in the future. We will be able to live well if we support each other."

Everyone else agreed, and Jiang Xiaolu also called her "Auntie!" affectionately.

"Grandpa, did they also call each other aunt in ancient times?"

"From what I saw on TV, she should be called aunt, and in some places she is called aunt!" Liu Caixia said.

"Yes, it seems there is also someone called Auntie!"

"Yes, isn't that right for concubines? There are too many names, and I'm not so clear about them. Let's learn about them later. At the beginning, when there are many people around, we should be low-key and talk less! You can even not talk at all. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Listen more, observe more, and learn more."

Father Liu thought about it and he was not sure about these titles. He could only take one step at a time and wait and see the situation and act accordingly!

After hearing what Liu's father said, Liu Caixia felt that they could only take one step at a time. There was not much information and there was no way out. Suddenly, she thought of a problem, which was the issue of their background mentioned before.

"Dad, you still have to think about it. What if someone asks where we are from? We don't know the names of these villages. What if someone finds out or encounters people from that village fleeing famine? You must think about this matter carefully later!"

Father Liu said, "I have just thought about this question. Don't worry. If you are asked by others, don't tell them. We can ask people about the situation later and then think about it! I was thinking of making up a random city name. After thinking about it, although transportation is not well developed in this era, it is better to be safe than sorry. It would be bad if we are checked. I thought about it and decided that our family lives in the mountains, which is very far away from the government. It is better to go out once every few years. It will be more troublesome to check it this way!"

Everyone thought this was a problem and thought about it for a while, but in the end they couldn't think of any better solution. What Mr. Liu said was the best solution they could think of at the moment!

Liu's mother said, "If it really doesn't work, just follow what Old Liu said. On TV, many people don't have household registration, and some children are not registered. They only conduct strict inspections when they are found out or when they are about to be conscripted. The inspections are not that strict, unlike our later generations, which are in an intelligent era. Population statistics are all based on manpower, so it is normal to have omissions."

Liu Caixia said, "Mom and Dad, oh no, Mom and Dad, Xiaolu, you guys go back to sleep for a while. We just need to have a rough idea in our minds. We've already agreed to take it one step at a time. Don't think too much. I'll go outside with you to check out the situation!"

From now on, Sister Zhang will change her name to Liu Caiyun. (I think Liu Caiyun sounds better than Liu Caixia)

The two of them sneaked around outside the dam and quietly observed the situation over there. After they all went to sleep and the few people on duty began to doze off, the two of them also lay there and took a nap for a while.

The next day, at daybreak, the two men heard a noise in a daze. They quickly looked outside, then quietly hid back in the cave, secretly paying attention to the situation outside.

Those people got up one after another to pack their things. They lit a fire and boiled a pot of water. They ate some dry food and filled their water bags with water. After they had packed up, they formed a specific formation, with men at the front and back and the elderly, the weak, women and children in the middle. The group left in an orderly manner.

When they were leaving, one of the men looked around a little bit, which scared Liu Caixia and the other man so much that they quickly retracted their heads that were sticking out a little bit.

Fortunately, it was daybreak and the view was not very clear, so they should not have been discovered.

The man just took a look and followed the team, walking at the end of the team.

There was a reason why he looked like that. He was the hunter in the village and his five senses were all very alert. He felt like someone was watching them since last night.

Especially during this time of fleeing famine, his sixth sense was still very accurate. Someone was indeed watching him, but he just didn't notice it.

After they left, Liu Caixia and her friends did not set off immediately, but went around to pick up some dry cattails and straw.

After a while, you can start compiling what you need.

Liu's father and mother also got up and joined the ranks of weaving straw sandals. After a while, a pair of crudely made straw sandal covers were ready. They put them on the shoes to try, and the shoes inside were barely visible.

Liu Caixia took a look and thought it was okay, so she told everyone, "Let's weave straw sandals according to this pattern and put them on top of our shoes. It will be more comfortable to walk with sneakers inside. Otherwise, our feet will definitely not be able to bear the straw sandals alone."

Mother Liu also sighed, "Yes, otherwise the feet really can't bear it. We wore straw sandals when we were children. Not to mention you guys, when have you ever suffered such pain!"

Father Liu took a look. Although the straw sandal covers looked strange after being put on, there was nothing he could do. He could only do this: "Xiao Lu, change a few pairs of black or dark-colored shoes for everyone. Simple ones, not thick-soled and high-top ones. This way they will be a little more low-key. It's better to find a way to buy some shoes of this time. Otherwise, they will be exposed sooner or later."

Jiang Xiaolu: "Okay, I'll find a few pairs for you to try later, let's have breakfast first!"

After saying that, he took out a box of milk and a plastic bag of buns for each person.

He started eating with a bun in one hand and milk in the other.
