Xue Guanglin's eyes were full of surprise: "Is this method feasible?"
"Impossible?" Fang Tianlin asked back.
After a while of silence, Xue Guanglin had to admit that this method seemed to work: "How sure are you?"
"At least seventy percent."
"Okay, I'll talk." Xue Guanglin stood up and strode forward, looking like a strong man going to the battlefield.
Fang Tianlin smiled and immediately followed.
Xue Guanglin came behind Xue Changfu and whispered in his ear: "Father, Tianlin, oh, she is the daughter-in-law of my brother-in-law Shen Jiahe from my Yue's family. He thought of an idea..."
Xue Changfu was startled, and turned his head to look at Fang Tianlin, his eyes flickering slightly.Apart from his attire, this man didn't have the slightest sense of a peasant family, and he didn't show any timidity when he stood among the people in rich clothes, just like he was standing in a field.
Xue Changfu is not a person who acts on his own will, even though he doesn't like the Shen family, it's just that he doesn't like it, and there is no other meaning in it.They are now one body. If so many people can't please, the possibility of leaving alone and getting out of this drought-shrouded place is even slimmer. Whether he likes it or not, he will use it if he has a good idea.
At this moment, everyone is arguing fiercely, and no one has been able to come up with a plan that convinces everyone.Later, Xue Changfu took advantage of the gap in the discussion and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Please be quiet, I have an idea here, everyone might as well listen to it."
"Say something quickly, don't be so goofy."
Being interrupted so shamelessly, Xue Changfu was not annoyed, he still smiled and said slowly: "I think everyone knows that the gathering of so many disaster victims must have happened recently, otherwise I'm afraid they would have been banned by the government a long time ago." Send people to disperse them. Since this is the case, these people must be a mob, and if you lure them with profit and deter them with force, you will receive miraculous results."
"What kind of lure, would they be happy to pay a large sum of money to the leader? They've robbed us all, don't they have everything?"
"They are not robbers, they are disaster victims. It is estimated that except for those leaders, most of them can't even eat enough. What they want most is food. Let them see the consequences of robbing us. I don't believe they don't Will compromise." Xue Changfu said clearly, showing that the matter is under control, "I mean, each family summoned the guards, and together with the bodyguards, they brought food to the bridge to donate. Under the threat of bows, arrows, knives and guns , and send a few more eloquent people to explain to them the consequences of their actions, I think they will agree, and we will quickly pass through the Liyuan Bridge when they are too lazy to move after eating."
After Xue Changfu said the last word, the scene suddenly fell silent.
But for a successful businessman, they may lack many things, but they will not lack a flexible mind.After a moment of contemplation, everyone felt that this method was indeed feasible.Indeed, as Xue Changfu said, they were a group of disaster victims, and they might not have enough to eat for a long time. There was nothing to be afraid of except for the large number of people.
The fact that everyone stopped here was not because they were afraid of them, but even if the victims were not a threat, it was impossible for them to pass through the Liyuan Bridge without any damage.Which one of the people present is not with his family?If anyone's family is unlucky and loses a few family members, who to cry for?
The method Xue Changfu said is very simple, and it seems that as long as you turn your mind a little faster, you can think of it, but no one has thought of it.It's not that they are stupid, it's because of their identities, it's impossible to think in this direction unless they are forced to a certain extent.Merchants seek profit, and the matter of taking out money is naturally excluded.Several people cast their gazes at Xue Changfu, and they would not think that this was his idea.
With a way to deal with it, the next thing will be easy to handle.Soon, the required manpower was assembled and the supplies were in place.
The Escort Nursing Academy took a few well-spoken people first to negotiate with the victims.Just in case, they all rode on horseback, with a bow in each hand, and spread it all together, and the posture alone could scare many people.
Watching these people go away, Fang Tianlin couldn't help sighing that the businessman was really willing to spend money and was well prepared.These bows are not ordinary hunting bows, but more like the standard bows and arrows in the army. I don't know where they got so many.
After about half an hour, someone came to inform the follow-up personnel to follow up.This time there were more people, including servants and servants, and they also brought a wagon of food and several cauldrons.
As soon as they arrived at the designated place, the housekeepers and servants quickly set up the pot and boiled the batter without kneading the dough, just sprinkled flour into the pot.They don't have to worry about firewood and water, the victims have already prepared them for them.This is also thanks to the fact that it is on the edge of the Anjiang River. If it is changed to other places, the water is really not easy to get.
The victims of the disaster are also considered blessed. Even before the disaster, they may not be able to eat these white noodles. It is good now, but after the disaster, they can enjoy it.
When the aroma of food began to float in the sky, the victims gradually became agitated.
"Line in line, those who haven't eaten stand on the right side, leave after eating their share, wait on the left side, don't move around. Everyone has a share, don't be crowded, and those who are not enough after eating can continue to line up. "
It is true that a person can do anything when he is hungry, but it also depends on whether he has the courage to risk his life.Usually it is not pushed to the extreme, and no one wants to choose this kind of death.
The Jing Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, implemented a policy of ignoring the people in order to consolidate the imperial power and rule the people better.
The wisdom of the people has not yet been developed, and the people are in awe of the imperial court, and they will not rebel unless it is absolutely necessary.The group of disaster victims in front of them, after a few leaders were pointed at by bows, they personally tried the arrows that pierced through the air, or whizzed past their ears, or were nailed straight into the ground at their feet. After Yu continued to tremble outside, the crowd no longer dared to do it again.
The victims who are fanned by others are indeed a great threat to the convoy, their mentality is out of balance, and they are easy to violently hurt others, but they will also be tempted by a small profit and forget their original intention.
Fortunately, not many people in this group of victims have seen blood, and they have not become the kind of people who lose their conscience after eating a little food. Everyone quickly judged that the threat is not big.After everyone finished eating the second bowl and everyone was satisfied, a large number of guards and escorts lined up in two rows beside the official road, almost every step, with arrows, knives and guns facing the front. You will taste the power of these guys.
Then, the convoy started.
Under the gaze of the victims, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, for fear that they would be provoked, and they would even care about their lives and rush forward, which would be really troublesome.
Everyone knows how to kill chickens to make an example of monkeys. After the leaders were restrained and did not dare to act rashly, the victims of the disaster became a mess again.Before, I was too hungry and didn't have much strength to resist, but now I'm full and tired, and I don't like to move much.
Even though the crowd felt that it was not safe enough, when the convoy passed through the area where the victims were stationed, it rained down handfuls of copper coins, even mixed with small pieces of silver, which attracted the attention of the victims and snatched them one by one. Crazy, who cares about other things?
Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and everyone knows how to choose between the copper coins in hand and the large amount of property that can only be obtained by paying blood.No matter how you say it, it is better to live than to die. If there is hope of survival, no one will be stupid enough to risk their lives.
Even so, everyone in the team was still trembling, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they stepped on the Liyuan Bridge.
The Shen family is at the end, so they have nothing to complain about, since they have always been in this position.This time, Father Shen, Sister-in-law Yao and Second-sister-in-law Chen are in charge of driving the car. The rest of the adults all went down to the ground, each holding a hunting bow and guarding them. The guards of the bodyguards and guards built a wall of people, and then broke into the defense line set up by the Shen family.
In fact, at this time, the disaster victims have already caught their eyes, and they are already in chaos. They only have money in their eyes, so how can they have anything else?What's more, they were lured further and further away by the person in charge of spreading the rain of copper coins, and they were no longer a big threat to the team.Fang Tianlin arranged this way because he didn't want any accidents to happen.
Seeing that all the convoys had passed, the servants withdrew first, followed by the guards, and when the last one stood on the Liyuan Bridge, everyone wiped their faces at the same time. Such a scene is really frightening.
After being frightened like this, no one in the convoy dared to make any noise even after passing the Liyuan Bridge, and the road was silent for a long time.
The children were all in the carriage, so there was no need to worry about them being frightened, even so, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe still got into the carriage to stay with the triplets.
I don't know what happened to the government garrison here. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together. Even if the time is short, people should be sent to disperse them. How can they be allowed to stop on the side of the bridge?
Not only Fang Tianlin couldn't figure it out, but other people couldn't figure it out too.Could it be that they were just unlucky, they came here too coincidentally, these people just came here today, and they happened to be hit by their guns?
After being so frightened, the convoy moved forward at full speed, without stopping, and did not set up camp until it was almost nightfall.This time everyone was even more vigilant, and the sentries were sent out far away, so as not to be surrounded by a large wave of victims without paying attention.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.
The road after that was smooth sailing. After more than a month, the convoy arrived in Yunzhou.
The Jing Dynasty implemented the administrative management system of prefectures and counties, but don't be fooled by the name, Yunzhou is not at the state level, it is the prefectural city of Yunzhou.
There is Imperial Capital in the north and Yunzhou in the south. These two cities are the most prosperous cities in the Jing Dynasty. The former is the capital of the Jing Dynasty, where most of the princes and nobles gather. The latter is the economic center and a place where wealthy businessmen gather. It can be said that it is even worse than the Imperial Capital.
It is said that Qianglong does not overwhelm local snakes. The merchants in the convoy are all rich, but they are only limited to Fuyang County. When they arrive in Yunzhou, how can they be called Qianglong?Don't even dare to make mistakes at will.
But in this way, all the merchants in the convoy were united and formed an alliance.
The businessman has a lot of knowledge. Even if he has never been to Yunzhou, where the crowds are full of people and the blue brick houses are densely populated, he has at least been to Zhoucheng. Although he is amazed, he will not be shocked.
The few people who followed the convoy in bullock carts were just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They didn't have enough eyes.Most of the Shen family was like this, even Fang Tianlin lost his mind for a moment.It really deserves to be the economic center of the Jing Dynasty, and its prosperity even surpassed Fang Tianlin's imagination. He reckoned that it should be a bit better than the ancient land of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
When everyone averted their eyes from the flowers, they were quickly hit by reality.The prices here are too high, and the first problem they encounter is accommodation.
The only few families who came here in ox carts have already left with their relatives, and Shen Jiaben also followed Xue's family. It is really a newcomer, too strange, at the kind invitation of Xue Guanglin, thinking of staying with them for a while It was late, and I didn't expect to be frightened by the accommodation fee.Even the most common room costs hundreds of Wen, which they cannot afford.
Seeing that his father-in-law had made up his mind to go, Xue Guanglin didn't stop him. He just asked them to wait for him to go through the accommodation procedures and confirm which room he would live in. Then he reported the room number to them, and agreed to come when he found a place to live. Tell him that if he leaves, he will leave a message at the counter, and then you can find the address to find him.
Without the Xue family leading the way, the entire Shen family didn't know where to go.
Seeing everyone's bewildered look, Fang Tianlin sighed and took over the burden of leading the way.He found an alley with few pedestrians and asked them to stop there, but he turned around and disappeared.
Fang Tianlin was a soldier and has a good memory of terrain, so don't worry that he won't be able to find him after he leaves.His purpose of coming out this time is very clear, that is to find the beggars scattered in the city and learn about the situation in Yunzhou City, otherwise they would be running around like headless chickens, and if they were cheated, they would probably still be counting money for them .As for why they didn't ask for directions directly, that's simple. Beggars probably know more gossip than ordinary people.
Yunzhou City is indeed prosperous, but it is impossible for everyone to have food and clothing.Beggars are such tenacious beings that you can meet them everywhere you go, but there are more poor places and fewer rich places.
Fang Tianlin didn't dare to underestimate anyone, even beggars, they must have their abilities to survive in such a rich place.
The beggars here are very good at picking places. They dare not go to the streets that are too prosperous, and it is useless for them to go to the secluded places. The most frequent places to haunt are the lively places in some ordinary streets.
After passing through several small alleys, Fang Tianlin found his target.He picked a small child and asked a few questions for a copper coin. After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, he had already spent several pennies.
After leaving there, Fang Tianlin couldn't help chuckling.Sure enough, how could it be so simple for a child who can hang out in a place like Yunzhou?That kid is really shrewd. In order to earn more money, he always answers questions concisely.But one thing he was sure of, at least the kid didn't lie to him.
Even so, Fang Tianlin still went to other streets to find a few beggars to continue asking, and after getting the information he wanted, he hurried back to the place where Shen's family was waiting.
"Let's go, let's not stay in a hotel, but stay in a folk house." Fang Tianlin drove the bullock cart westward, and the other cars quickly followed.
Yunzhou City is similar to other towns in the Jing Dynasty, and the west is mostly populated by civilians.Fang Tianlin and the others entered the city from the north gate, and then followed the Xue family and walked a little further in. They were still in the north of the city, and walked west for a long time before arriving at the place he asked.
The environment around here is not bad, and there are no messy people haunting it. It seems that Fang Tianlin's news should be correct.Fortunately, the official language was implemented long before the Jing Dynasty. After several dynasties, the people from all over the country had no communication barriers except for slightly different accents. Otherwise, they would have difficulty even asking for directions.
Seeing the surrounding houses similar to those in Fuyang County, the Shen family finally let go of their tense nerves.
"Oh, really, I almost couldn't even breathe after I entered here." Second Aunt Chen stroked her chest, took a deep breath, and felt alive again.
"Indeed, I've only heard of Yunzhou, how could I have thought that we would come here one day?" Mrs. Yao echoed with a smile.
"Okay, let's disperse here, and we'll meet here when we find a house." At the end, Fang Tianlin said, "It costs about 25 to [-] yuan to live in a room here. Similarly, staying for one day is fine. If the price exceeds this price, uncles and aunts, remember to negotiate the price and don’t have to worry too much. If you really can’t make a deal, just change one. This area is full of them, and you can choose whatever you want.”
As the most prosperous city in the Jing Dynasty, Yunzhou City was a bit tight for housing, and the houses in the common areas were not big, at least not as spacious as Fang Tianlin and the others lived in Guangyan Village.
In order to subsidize their households, many residents here will separate a yard and rent it out to outsiders, or those who settle here and cannot afford a house for the time being.
This kind of courtyard is generally very small, and the houses are mostly within one to three rooms, and the houses themselves are not big, far smaller than the east wing where Fang Tianlin lived before.
There are many Shen family members, so in desperation, they can only live in two places.
Father Shen and Shen Jiahai and Shenjiahu live in a small courtyard, and twin brothers Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi live in another small courtyard.
After driving for nearly two months, everyone was very tired, not only physically, but also mentally.After finally finding a place to stay temporarily, what everyone wanted to do most was to sleep.
Father Shen is not young, and his feelings are deeper, so he naturally has no objection, and decides to take a good rest today, and leave everything until tomorrow.
Maybe everyone is really tired, even the always diligent Shen family, there are several people who sleep until the sun is high before getting up.This time, when Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang woke up, they didn't wake up and let everyone sleep soundly.
After lunch, Fang Tianlin and the others gathered in Father Shen's courtyard.
"The boss in Guanglin has already informed you this morning, so don't repeat it." After saying this, Old Man Shen frowned slightly, "Everyone talk about whether to stay in Yunzhou City for development or to go Find a nearby village to settle down."
"Father, I still like the old days." Shen Jiahai was not used to life in the city, especially a big city like Yunzhou, which made him a little afraid.
"I want to try it in the city, and if it doesn't work, I'll go to the countryside." Shen Jiahu put forward a different opinion.
"Where's the third child?" Father Shen turned his gaze to Shen Jiahe.
"I can do it." Shen Jiahe looked at Fang Tianlin with a smile on his lips.
"I can go anywhere." Shen Jiaxi is very optimistic, "I haven't lived in the city, so I can try it. I am also happy to live in the village."
Father Shen's eyes were full of worry, the four sons disagreed, and he himself couldn't make up his mind for a while.The main reason is that he doesn't know the situation here, and he doesn't know what the scene in the nearby village is like.
"Okay, let's break up, I will discuss it with my in-laws." Father Shen waved his hand away.
As soon as she entered the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, Liu Cheng smiled happily and sighed, the water here is so clear, it is the same as the spring water in Guangyan Village. That is.
Speaking of springs, Fang Tianlin remembered the one he left in the woods.Jingchao is not modern. He confiscated the spring after confirming that there was no shortage of water in the south, and the villagers needed it even more.Anyway, the water in outer space is of no use to him. Staying in Guangyan Village can help more people, so there is no need for him to take it back.
The south is indeed different, there is no sand and dust, the precipitation is abundant, and the air is exceptionally fresh.It is now March in Yangchun, and the flowers are blooming all over the branches. It is the best time of the year.
As soon as the triplets were on the ground, they wandered around the yard, and with the addition of Shen He, it was so lively.
Shen Jiahe fastened the gate of the courtyard, now he doesn't have to worry about letting the children slip out of the small courtyard if they don't pay attention.If you are not familiar with the place of life, it is better to be cautious.
Fang Tianlin gave Shen Jiahe a look of approval, and got a smile.
Before the destination was determined, the few people had no intention of doing anything else, and simply nestled in the small courtyard to recuperate.The long-distance trek was too exhausting, especially for the other families. At the end, they all brazenly rubbed against the Shen family's car.
This also led to the fact that in the second half of the journey, the strong laborers of the Shen family had to walk on the ground for a period of time every day.For them, a day or two may be fine, ten days and a half months will make people feel uncomfortable, and one or two months will be fatal.Fang Tianlin had the experience of marching long distances, but that only lasted for a short period of time, and he would never count on months of continuous marching.
After going this way, everyone looked very energetic, but in fact their bodies were exhausted, and they needed a few days of rest to fully recover.
The next day, the Shen family got together again and filled a small room to the brim.
"I've decided to live in the village. If anyone of you wants to stay in the city, I don't object. If you want to live in the village with me, I welcome it too." Father Shen looked around, then threw a heavy bomb, "I plan to divide the family. When the time comes, I will directly settle down to save an extra trip to the yamen."
"Father, why do you want to separate?" Shen Jiahai was shocked.
"Yeah, dad, why did you think of such a thing?" Shen Jiahu and Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi looked at each other, and then asked in unison.
"Impossible?" Fang Tianlin asked back.
After a while of silence, Xue Guanglin had to admit that this method seemed to work: "How sure are you?"
"At least seventy percent."
"Okay, I'll talk." Xue Guanglin stood up and strode forward, looking like a strong man going to the battlefield.
Fang Tianlin smiled and immediately followed.
Xue Guanglin came behind Xue Changfu and whispered in his ear: "Father, Tianlin, oh, she is the daughter-in-law of my brother-in-law Shen Jiahe from my Yue's family. He thought of an idea..."

But in this way, all the merchants in the convoy were united and formed an alliance.
The businessman has a lot of knowledge. Even if he has never been to Yunzhou, where the crowds are full of people and the blue brick houses are densely populated, he has at least been to Zhoucheng. Although he is amazed, he will not be shocked.
The few people who followed the convoy in bullock carts were just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They didn't have enough eyes.Most of the Shen family was like this, even Fang Tianlin lost his mind for a moment.It really deserves to be the economic center of the Jing Dynasty, and its prosperity even surpassed Fang Tianlin's imagination. He reckoned that it should be a bit better than the ancient land of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
When everyone averted their eyes from the flowers, they were quickly hit by reality.The prices here are too high, and the first problem they encounter is accommodation.
The only few families who came here in ox carts have already left with their relatives, and Shen Jiaben also followed Xue's family. It is really a newcomer, too strange, at the kind invitation of Xue Guanglin, thinking of staying with them for a while It was late, and I didn't expect to be frightened by the accommodation fee.Even the most common room costs hundreds of Wen, which they cannot afford.
Seeing that his father-in-law had made up his mind to go, Xue Guanglin didn't stop him. He just asked them to wait for him to go through the accommodation procedures and confirm which room he would live in. Then he reported the room number to them, and agreed to come when he found a place to live. Tell him that if he leaves, he will leave a message at the counter, and then you can find the address to find him.
Without the Xue family leading the way, the entire Shen family didn't know where to go.
Seeing everyone's bewildered look, Fang Tianlin sighed and took over the burden of leading the way.He found an alley with few pedestrians and asked them to stop there, but he turned around and disappeared.
Fang Tianlin was a soldier and has a good memory of terrain, so don't worry that he won't be able to find him after he leaves.His purpose of coming out this time is very clear, that is to find the beggars scattered in the city and learn about the situation in Yunzhou City, otherwise they would be running around like headless chickens, and if they were cheated, they would probably still be counting money for them .As for why they didn't ask for directions directly, that's simple. Beggars probably know more gossip than ordinary people.
Yunzhou City is indeed prosperous, but it is impossible for everyone to have food and clothing.Beggars are such tenacious beings that you can meet them everywhere you go, but there are more poor places and fewer rich places.
Fang Tianlin didn't dare to underestimate anyone, even beggars, they must have their abilities to survive in such a rich place.
The beggars here are very good at picking places. They dare not go to the streets that are too prosperous, and it is useless for them to go to the secluded places. The most frequent places to haunt are the lively places in some ordinary streets.
After passing through several small alleys, Fang Tianlin found his target.He picked a small child and asked a few questions for a copper coin. After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, he had already spent several pennies.
After leaving there, Fang Tianlin couldn't help chuckling.Sure enough, how could it be so simple for a child who can hang out in a place like Yunzhou?That kid is really shrewd. In order to earn more money, he always answers questions concisely.But one thing he was sure of, at least the kid didn't lie to him.
Even so, Fang Tianlin still went to other streets to find a few beggars to continue asking, and after getting the information he wanted, he hurried back to the place where Shen's family was waiting.
"Let's go, let's not stay in a hotel, but stay in a folk house." Fang Tianlin drove the bullock cart westward, and the other cars quickly followed.
Yunzhou City is similar to other towns in the Jing Dynasty, and the west is mostly populated by civilians.Fang Tianlin and the others entered the city from the north gate, and then followed the Xue family and walked a little further in. They were still in the north of the city, and walked west for a long time before arriving at the place he asked.
The environment around here is not bad, and there are no messy people haunting it. It seems that Fang Tianlin's news should be correct.Fortunately, the official language was implemented long before the Jing Dynasty. After several dynasties, the people from all over the country had no communication barriers except for slightly different accents. Otherwise, they would have difficulty even asking for directions.
Seeing the surrounding houses similar to those in Fuyang County, the Shen family finally let go of their tense nerves.
"Oh, really, I almost couldn't even breathe after I entered here." Second Aunt Chen stroked her chest, took a deep breath, and felt alive again.
"Indeed, I've only heard of Yunzhou, how could I have thought that we would come here one day?" Mrs. Yao echoed with a smile.
"Okay, let's disperse here, and we'll meet here when we find a house." At the end, Fang Tianlin said, "It costs about 25 to [-] yuan to live in a room here. Similarly, staying for one day is fine. If the price exceeds this price, uncles and aunts, remember to negotiate the price and don’t have to worry too much. If you really can’t make a deal, just change one. This area is full of them, and you can choose whatever you want.”
As the most prosperous city in the Jing Dynasty, Yunzhou City was a bit tight for housing, and the houses in the common areas were not big, at least not as spacious as Fang Tianlin and the others lived in Guangyan Village.
In order to subsidize their households, many residents here will separate a yard and rent it out to outsiders, or those who settle here and cannot afford a house for the time being.
This kind of courtyard is generally very small, and the houses are mostly within one to three rooms, and the houses themselves are not big, far smaller than the east wing where Fang Tianlin lived before.
There are many Shen family members, so in desperation, they can only live in two places.
Father Shen and Shen Jiahai and Shenjiahu live in a small courtyard, and twin brothers Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi live in another small courtyard.
After driving for nearly two months, everyone was very tired, not only physically, but also mentally.After finally finding a place to stay temporarily, what everyone wanted to do most was to sleep.
Father Shen is not young, and his feelings are deeper, so he naturally has no objection, and decides to take a good rest today, and leave everything until tomorrow.
Maybe everyone is really tired, even the always diligent Shen family, there are several people who sleep until the sun is high before getting up.This time, when Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang woke up, they didn't wake up and let everyone sleep soundly.
After lunch, Fang Tianlin and the others gathered in Father Shen's courtyard.
"The boss in Guanglin has already informed you this morning, so don't repeat it." After saying this, Old Man Shen frowned slightly, "Everyone talk about whether to stay in Yunzhou City for development or to go Find a nearby village to settle down."
"Father, I still like the old days." Shen Jiahai was not used to life in the city, especially a big city like Yunzhou, which made him a little afraid.
"I want to try it in the city, and if it doesn't work, I'll go to the countryside." Shen Jiahu put forward a different opinion.
"Where's the third child?" Father Shen turned his gaze to Shen Jiahe.
"I can do it." Shen Jiahe looked at Fang Tianlin with a smile on his lips.
"I can go anywhere." Shen Jiaxi is very optimistic, "I haven't lived in the city, so I can try it. I am also happy to live in the village."
Father Shen's eyes were full of worry, the four sons disagreed, and he himself couldn't make up his mind for a while.The main reason is that he doesn't know the situation here, and he doesn't know what the scene in the nearby village is like.
"Okay, let's break up, I will discuss it with my in-laws." Father Shen waved his hand away.
As soon as she entered the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, Liu Cheng smiled happily and sighed, the water here is so clear, it is the same as the spring water in Guangyan Village. That is.
Speaking of springs, Fang Tianlin remembered the one he left in the woods.Jingchao is not modern. He confiscated the spring after confirming that there was no shortage of water in the south, and the villagers needed it even more.Anyway, the water in outer space is of no use to him. Staying in Guangyan Village can help more people, so there is no need for him to take it back.
The south is indeed different, there is no sand and dust, the precipitation is abundant, and the air is exceptionally fresh.It is now March in Yangchun, and the flowers are blooming all over the branches. It is the best time of the year.
As soon as the triplets were on the ground, they wandered around the yard, and with the addition of Shen He, it was so lively.
Shen Jiahe fastened the gate of the courtyard, now he doesn't have to worry about letting the children slip out of the small courtyard if they don't pay attention.If you are not familiar with the place of life, it is better to be cautious.
Fang Tianlin gave Shen Jiahe a look of approval, and got a smile.
Before the destination was determined, the few people had no intention of doing anything else, and simply nestled in the small courtyard to recuperate.The long-distance trek was too exhausting, especially for the other families. At the end, they all brazenly rubbed against the Shen family's car.
This also led to the fact that in the second half of the journey, the strong laborers of the Shen family had to walk on the ground for a period of time every day.For them, a day or two may be fine, ten days and a half months will make people feel uncomfortable, and one or two months will be fatal.Fang Tianlin had the experience of marching long distances, but that only lasted for a short period of time, and he would never count on months of continuous marching.
After going this way, everyone looked very energetic, but in fact their bodies were exhausted, and they needed a few days of rest to fully recover.
The next day, the Shen family got together again and filled a small room to the brim.
"I've decided to live in the village. If anyone of you wants to stay in the city, I don't object. If you want to live in the village with me, I welcome it too." Father Shen looked around, then threw a heavy bomb, "I plan to divide the family. When the time comes, I will directly settle down to save an extra trip to the yamen."
"Father, why do you want to separate?" Shen Jiahai was shocked.
"Yeah, dad, why did you think of such a thing?" Shen Jiahu and Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi looked at each other, and then asked in unison.
