Transmigrated into the Pastoral Scenery
Chapter 68
Going down tomorrow?
Seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Song Jingwei said again: "That's right, I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, everyone hurry up and let us know."
After getting an affirmative answer, the men in the room nodded dully, and said hastily: "Okay, let's go right away!" They said, and excitedly left the door of the Shen family's big room.
Soon, all the villagers in the mountain knew that they were going down the mountain tomorrow!
Many people froze there, seemingly forgetting to react.Didn't you always look forward to going down the mountain?Now that I am really going down the mountain, I feel a little bit reluctant to look at the folks around me who get along day and night.
"I said everyone, isn't it still a village after we go back? Don't be dazed, pack up your things and go!"
That's right, isn't it still a village after going back?What's so sad, what's so sad, pack up and go!
The villagers acted immediately, gathered a large family, and quickly packed their things.
"Then what! Pack up the urgent ones, take your time for the ones you don't need temporarily, we're not in a hurry!"
After one night, everyone in the mountain has almost cleaned up every household, and there are several big smokers.
Once the eldest son of the Shen family cleaned up, there were a lot of things, there was no way for them to take them down.
"Bring the urgent ones first, and the others can be taken care of later." Song Jingwei said, he didn't have many things, so he tidied up and only had two bags.
Shen Junxi doesn't have many things, but if he wants to pack the stupid things, there are several big baskets.
"It's only been five months, so there are so many things?" Song Jingwei looked at the stupid things and sighed.
"En." Shen Junxi smiled at him, and continued to classify things, some of which can be taken slowly.
"Brother Xi, and his wife, have you tidied up your things? Do you need your mother's help?" After tidying up her own house, Mrs. Yang came over to see if her son and daughter-in-law needed help.
"Thank you mother, our things are also packed, we don't need to help." Song Jingwei turned to Yang and said.
"Oh, isn't there a lot of things?" Yang probed in to have a look, and said.
"There are not many of us, and there are more things in Benben." Song Jingwei said, pointing out the big and small boxes that belonged to Benben to Mrs. Yang.
"Hehehe!" Yang smiled and said, "Take your time, let your father come and get it when you are free."
Early the next morning, when the sky was getting dark, everyone was ready to go.Looking around, a group of people, big and small, were standing outside the door covered with burdens, waiting for someone to say to leave.
The person who made the decision was naturally Song Jingwei. When his family came out, they hoped that everyone was ready.Don't say much nonsense, let everyone pay attention to safety, maintain order, and walk slowly one by one.
This time, it was not the eldest son of the Shen family who walked in front, but the members of the maintenance team, so as not to be unable to rescue them in case of danger.
Compared with the silent atmosphere when going up the mountain, everyone was obviously relaxed this time when going down the mountain.They brought home the joy and excitement, talking and laughing along the way.
"I forgot to mention one thing." Song Jingwei suddenly frowned and muttered.
The young man leaned over and looked at him with worried eyes.
"It's nothing, I heard from Yuan Guanlin that some houses in the village were burned..."
"..."
Returning home was originally a very happy thing, but some families were happy and others were sad.When everyone finally walked down the mountain and walked back to their long-lost home, they saw a mess everywhere, broken walls and broken walls.
Immediately there was a family, and the whole family burst into tears in front of the door.
"Sin! My house!"
The surrounding houses built in the past were also burned down.In the entire Chashan Village, there are twenty or thirty families whose houses were burned down, which is quite a number.
Before I could enjoy the joy of going home, I was disturbed by such a bad thing.Those whose houses are still in good condition feel sorry for those poor folks.
Although their house is okay, it can also be turned into a mess.In addition, the field is also full of weeds, and there is no income in the first half of the year.
But compared to the villagers whose houses were burned, it was still good.
At the same time, the members of the eldest family of the Shen family also returned home, and naturally the Lu family came back with them.The door was unlocked before they left, and the inside was empty because everything had been moved to the cellar.
All that needs to be done now is to open up the cellar and move things out for use.
The men put down their things, tucked up their sleeves and got to work.
"It's already noon now, why don't I cook first, let's talk after we're full." Yang followed Shen Dongming, moved a few things into the cellar, and wiped his hands.
They came down from the mountain early in the morning, and they were already hungry.
"That's right, even if we're not hungry, Benben is too, so let's cook first." Shen Dongming said.
Benben is now watching in the hands of the old man Yuan. He did not go back to the house on Xiaoliangshan, but followed the Shen family back here.The reason is that it is still not sure that it is very safe, and everyone will not let him go back alone.
Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei went in and out of the cellar, working together to move the relatively large pieces of furniture out.
"Fortunately, they didn't set fire to our house." Shen Dongming said while moving, he saw that someone had entered the house.
"It's empty and they can't burn it." Unless there's gasoline, the house was designed with fire protection in mind.
"Really?" Shen Dongming looked up at the roof of his own house, and it seemed the same.
After a busy noon, everyone continued to carry things after lunch.Move out the urgent ones first, and then take time for other decorations.
"Hey, nothing happened to our family. I'm sorry for those whose houses were burned down..." I heard that some people's houses in the village were burned down, and everyone felt sorry for them.
"Then what are they going to do tonight? What about the whole family." Fortunately, it's not cold now, if such a thing happens in a windy and frosty day, it will be called a real crime.
"How do you know, go to the neighbor's house and squeeze?"
Song Jingwei said, "Naturally, we have to squeeze together. We will help each other. We will call everyone together tomorrow to discuss rebuilding the house."
As soon as everyone heard what he said, they knew that he must be doing something, and they all asked curiously: "What is Jing Wei thinking?"
"I'll find out tomorrow."
The next day, Song Jingwei went to the village in person and called everyone over to talk.When everyone saw him coming, he seemed to have something to say, and they gathered naturally.
"Fellow folks, the house is still under construction after it burns down, so we don't have to be sad. Saving our lives this time is the greatest victory." Standing among the villagers, he said unhurriedly: "I know Everyone is very difficult now, not only about the house, but also the fields and crops, which have lost a lot in the past six months of fleeing."
"..." The villagers remained silent, waiting for Song Jingwei's next words. They vaguely knew that Young Master Song was doing something good for them again.
"I can't promise to help you much, because this matter still depends on everyone's unity. I mean, starting today, everyone will work together to build the burned houses first. As for farming, I will organize another group People are responsible for the crops in the second half of the year. At the same time, the bulk of the cost of building the house needs to be prepared by everyone, and I can only pay a small part."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and a small part was pretty good, after all, there are so many families in the whole village.
"Master Song, do you offer some for every family building a new house?" Someone asked boldly.
"Yes, according to the actual situation, I will measure how much I can help each family. The money is not paid to make everyone appreciate me, but I think we are one-hearted people. No matter I am in trouble or everyone is in trouble, we should Take it as your own business and work together to solve him."
"Well said, we are from the same village, we escaped difficulties together, and killed the enemy together! We should have one heart, and those who have two hearts, if you are not sober, you are not worthy of being members of our village!" All men who are against the enemy have an extremely strong sense of belonging and honor.
Their impressions of the village are no longer what they used to be, and their positioning is also clearer than ever.
"That's right! We should all be of one mind! These days, everyone went through life and death together, survived together for five months, and now there is no casualty in our village. Whose credit is this? I dare not say that it is all due to Young Master Song But I dare say, it’s all of us!" The young and passionate man said, "I hope our village will always be united like this!"
"Forever united!" the young man took the lead in shouting.
Shouting and shouting, everyone, old and young, let go of their voices, and there was a burst of pride on the ground.Since the increase of mixed surnames in the village decades ago, there has never been such a harmonious and united time in Chashan Village.
This time it was a blessing in disguise, and another unprecedented condensation was ushered in.
"Okay!" Song Jingwei looked at this scene very relieved, called out those familiar people before, and explained the division of labor to them. Everyone acted separately, and the efficiency was extremely high.
Under the influence of this kind of spirit, those villagers who are not so enthusiastic don't dare to raise objections, let alone have bad intentions.Maybe they will change through this opportunity in silence, or maybe they will stick to the past, this is unknown.
For a while, the village seemed to enter a strange state.
Everyone works regardless of each other. Today everyone will work at your house and help your family build the house.Tomorrow everyone will work at his house, and everyone will help his family build the house together.No one cares about how many days someone's house has been used, and no one cares about it. My family doesn't need to build a new house, so why should I help.
The same goes for the work in the fields, and even some women who don't have to bring babies come out to help.
Everything is going well, and everything is going in a good direction.When the villagers saw hope, they worked hard.In this way, those things that should be sad don't seem to be so sad. With everyone here, I am not afraid.
In the face of such mutual help, many people often talk about Song Jingwei, saying that if there is not him in the village, the village will be destroyed.
Therefore, the big house of the Shen family was also very lively during this time, and people often came to visit and bring something to the family.Yang accepted everything that was produced in her own land, and for those that needed to be bought with money, she seriously warned everyone not to buy them, even if they were given to her, she would not accept them.
So everyone knows that their family likes to eat sweet potatoes and taro, but they don't want to buy them with money.
In fact, after five months of consumption, everyone's food at home is not much, so we can send a little, just as we wish.
After receiving these things, Mrs. Yang will give back something to each household, and they will treat it as an exchange for each other, for a change of taste.
However, there are still two kinds of sweet potato and taro, so I always eat these two kinds at home recently, and I am almost tired of eating them.
After the couple made out at night, Song Jingwei rubbed his stomach and whispered to the young man, "I'm a little hungry." What he ate at night was taro again, and he wasn't very full.
"..." Shen Junxi touched his stomach, and gestured: "Wait, I'll make noodles."
He got up, put on his clothes, and put them on, but saw Song Jingwei also got up to put on clothes, so he blinked suspiciously.
"Let's go, don't you want to make noodles? Hurry up." Song Jingwei put on his shoes and urged.
"En." Shen Junxi chuckled, put on his shoes, and went out with him.
"I'm going to take over Benben tomorrow, so I don't want to be like this again... fooling around." Song Jingwei said softly, his voice was very textured at night, and it was a kind of heart-warming enjoyment to the young man's ears.
"Okay." After Shen Junxi gestured, he took his wife's hand, and the couple walked slowly down the dark corridor.
At this point, everyone in the family fell asleep, only Xiao Hei and Da Huang in the yard were lying there lazily.Hearing their couple coming, they wagged their tails excitedly.
"Shh, don't bark, I'll feed you later." Song Jingwei whispered, he didn't want to wake up his family.
The two quietly walked into the kitchen, Shen Junxi fumbled to light up the oil lamp, and then he moved a low stool for Song Jingwei to sit there.
"No, you're busy, I think I can get you something." Song Jingwei said, patrolling the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Shen Junxi smiled, opened the wooden lid of the water tank, and picked up a handful of shrimps with a small dustpan.
"Huh? And this one, when did you catch it?" Song Jingwei said in surprise, he hadn't eaten shrimp for a long time.Recently, I don’t cook delicious food at home, so I eat sweet potatoes and taro.
"This afternoon." The young man put the shrimp on the stove and gestured.Then roll up your sleeves and start kneading and making noodles.
"I'll handle the shrimp." Song Jingwei took out the scissors and peeled the shrimp.
While meeting, Shen Junxi looked at him who was concentrating under the oil lamp, with a gentle smile on his face.After a few glances, he lowered his head and continued to meet, and then looked up a few times after thinking about it.That side face is obviously very familiar, and I can draw it with my eyes closed, but I still feel that I can't get enough of it no matter how I look at it.
Even though the person is right in front of your eyes, the longing in your heart has never stopped.
"Well, let's go to the vegetable garden and steal some tender vegetables." Song Jingwei said, he had already prepared the shrimps, and wanted to add something to the noodles, so he thought about the bunch of young cabbages planted by Yang, which had just grown After a crop.
"..." Hearing that he used the word "steal", Shen Junxi bent his eyes and laughed, then watched his wife go out.
Not long after, he stole some tender cabbages and came back, washed them in the basin for use.
At this time, Shen Junxi's noodles were also reconciled, and he pulled them apart in twos and twos, and put them into the boiling water.
"When will this be released?" Song Jingwei asked with his shrimp in one hand and his tender cabbage in the other.
"Not so fast, wait until the noodles are cooked." Shen Junxi gestured, staring at the heat seriously, and when the time came, he smiled at Song Jing and nodded, signaling that it could be released.
Song Jingwei glanced at him, then put the two things into the pot by himself.
Shen Junxi stirred it with a spoon, closed the lid, and counted about ten times. He removed the firewood and put a large porcelain bowl on the pot.
"Is that all right?" Song Jingwei looked at his smooth flow, and picked up a bowl of noodles, of course there was still some in the pot.
"Yeah." The young man packed up the last bowl, took out a plate of chili peppers in the kitchen cabinet, and gestured to Song Jingwei: "Do you want this?"
"No." Song Jingwei said immediately, then picked up the rich and beautiful bowl, and sat on the low stool to eat.
"..." Shen Junxi smiled, and added some chili peppers to his bowl.He also found a low stool and sat down next to Song Jingwei, and the two of them ate noodles together next to each other.
He knew that his daughter-in-law liked to eat shrimps, and if he found big ones in the bowl, they would always be caught in the daughter-in-law's bowl.
"..." Originally, there were a lot of shrimps and cabbage in his bowl, Song Jingwei said to him, "You eat, I have a lot here."
When Shen Junxi still put it in his bowl, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't eat spicy food!"
"..." Shen Junxi was so frightened that his hands shook, luckily he didn't shake off the shrimp, so he had no choice but to put it in his mouth.And looked at Song Jingwei aggrievedly, this is really not spicy.
"Eat quickly." Seeing this, Song Jingwei poked his cheek with the chopsticks and said.
The young couple finished eating a large bowl of noodles intently, and it was already deep.The stuffed Song Jingwei sat there unwilling to move, Shen Junxi took away the bowl in his hand and washed it clean.
Looking up at the young man busy by the stove, Song Jingwei sighed softly, so he could hold on.
"..." Shen Junxi looked back at him, and laughed when he learned that he was full, wiped his hands carefully, and came over to extend his palm to him.
"..." Song Jingwei gave him his hand and asked the young man to pull himself up. Seeing the young man gesturing, he said, "Go, I'll take you to digest food."
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Xiao Hei and Da Huang obediently waiting at the door, they looked pitiful enough.
"Hey, we must do what we promised." Song Jingwei turned his head to the young man and said, "...just see what we can give them to eat."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at his daughter-in-law helplessly, the two big dogs had already been fed at night, and they were just greedy.
"Go." Song Jingwei said, pushing his arm.
"..." It's rare for a daughter-in-law to be like this, Shen Junxi didn't want to reject him, so he nodded.But there was nothing to eat in the kitchen. He found [-] things that looked like sauced meat in the kitchen cabinet. It was too dark to see clearly, so he ate it to the dog.
Seeing the two big dogs eating happily, they blew out the oil lamp in the kitchen and walked slowly back to the yard.
As he was walking, the young man stopped suddenly and kissed his wife.
Song Jingwei looked at him suspiciously, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw him shaking his head, smiling very reserved but not reserved.
The two went back to the house and rested until dawn.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yang was in the kitchen, and suddenly exclaimed: "Where's my sauced pork?" After a while, she exclaimed: "Who ate my stupid shrimp?"
That's not to mention, when she went to water the vegetable garden, she saw a row of good cabbage suddenly missing a corner, and she beat her chest in distress: "Which stupid guy is it, how can he pull vegetables like this?"
When the whole family had breakfast in the morning, Yang mentioned these few things. She suspected that a thief had entered the house.
Song Jingwei laughed unnaturally, and confessed to Yang: "I plucked the cabbage, and we ate the shrimp together. As for the sauced pork..." He looked at the two big dogs outside, and laughed awkwardly .
"So it's like this?" Yang was relieved when she heard that it was her daughter-in-law who ate it. She patted her chest and said, "I thought a thief had entered in the middle of the night."
Everyone laughed, and saw the young man who had committed a crime last night gesticulating: "I suddenly got hungry at night, so I got up and made noodles to eat." There was also that shrimp, which he caught specially for his wife, so he was not stupid and lonely. some.
"Okay, as long as it's not a thief." Yang waved his hand and said, how could he pursue this.
After everyone had dinner, Lu's family solemnly told everyone that they decided to go back to their hometown for a visit.After saying this, everyone in the Shen family's eldest family was astonished, how could they just leave?
"I don't know what's going on over there now, why don't you wait before leaving?" Song Jingwei persuaded.
Qiao Lang looked at his parents, sighed and said, "We discussed it together last night, and I think it's better to go back early." His parents are old, and they miss their hometown.
"Okay, since you've all discussed it, we won't hold you back either." Seeing their homesickness, everyone understood.
"Thank you." The two elders of the Lu family said solemnly to them.We've been together for more than half a year, and everyone gets along very well, so it's not customary to leave suddenly.If you don't really miss your hometown...
"Don't say those polite words." Seeing the other party's true feelings, Yang's eyes turned red unconvincingly, as if she was about to say goodbye, "The journey is actually not far away. It is very convenient for young people to come and go. Let's hang out more in the future."
"Yes." Qiao Yun said, "It's up to you to visit our house next time, but don't forget to come."
"Yeah, that's a must. After a while, when the family is free, let's go to your house as a guest!" Shen Dongming said.
"That's fine, I'll pick you up when the time comes!" Qiao Lang said with a smile, dispelling the sorrow of parting in a hearty voice.
"..." The mute gestured excitedly, telling them to come.
Shen Junxi replied to him: "Certainly come! Let's go back and see you."
He nodded in relief, and kept nodding.
In the next day, I helped Lu's family pack their things.Yang packed a lot for them and asked them to go home together.The Lu family refused to accept, so the two families pushed back and forth.
But no matter what, the next day came soon, and they still bid farewell at the pier.
Every time this happens, it is always very sad.The big men are okay, but their eyes are a little red, while the women just started crying.
"Everyone, take care, no matter what problems you encounter when you go back, take care of yourself." Before sending them on board, the Shen family and his wife said while pulling everyone by the pier.
"Take care, you don't need to see each other off, let's go home quickly." The Lu family said, and everyone said goodbye to each other.
After watching the big boat leave, Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped away tears, and sighed, "I don't know when we will see each other again after this farewell."
"What nonsense, the distance is not far, and the boat is comfortable." Shen Dongming said, the usual boat is indeed comfortable, much better than riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Yes, I will give money to the dumb man every year in the future." Song Jingwei said, "I hope the dumb man will live a long and healthy life."
"Yeah, that's right." Shen Dongming looked at his family and the precious grandson on his son Shen Junxi's back, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's all go home."
At the same time, in the chaotic Pear Blossom Town, a ragged father and daughter were chased, beaten and killed.
"It's the two of them who sold out. National traitors! Killed my daughter, they deserve to die!"
The two being hunted down were Song Man and Song Jinmei. They escaped from the town in a panic and never dared to go back.
Song Man, who had lost a lot of weight, said with self-pity: "God, how did I, Song Man, end up in this situation?" His original wealth and glory were wiped out by a war.He didn't believe it was true, and couldn't accept this cruel fact.
"Why?" Song Jinmei, his daughter, fell weakly on the side of the road and said, "It's not because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and use other people's daughters to trample..." Since the enemy's army was driven out of the country, the hard life of the two of them has become more and more serious. coming.
How beautiful it was before, how miserable it is now.
"What sarcastic words are you talking about, and I'm not doing it for you?" Song Man widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard his daughter say this to him. The reason why he raped other daughters was all because of Song Jinmei.
"Don't use me as a raft, because you are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Song Jinmei said, "I told you to escape a long time ago, but you dare not escape!" Although the situation was critical at that time, many people also broke through the barrier and took the opportunity to escape. escaped.
Song Jinmei also had the idea of taking her father out, but her father didn't dare. When he saw the soldiers of the enemy country, his feet were so frightened that he couldn't move at all.
Song Man thought of his performance at that time, and had nothing to say about his daughter's accusation.If he had never done it once, he would still dare not, because his legs would weaken when he thought of the sharp spears and bright spears in the hands of the soldiers.
"Then what should we do now? We are penniless, and we dare not go back to the town..." Song Man sank down on the side of the road and sat down.
"Yeah, do we deserve to die..." Song Jinmei said in a daze. After being chased in the town for a long time, she was tired and hungry, and she didn't want to move at all.
"I don't know, where did Lao He escape?" Song Man said, he seemed to have seen Lao He fleeing with his burden on his back and his family with him.
"So what if he knows, will he be willing to take us in?" Song Jinmei snorted and sighed a little sadly: "In this world, there are many people who are hurting people, but few people are giving charcoal in the snow. How can anyone be willing to take us in?" She Thinking of myself as a rich young lady, but it was her turn to go to such an extent, she couldn't stop feeling sad and angry.
In the past, the Song family had a lot of people in Lihua Town, but now they have an accident, but no one is willing to stand up and help.
"So, the sky is big and the earth is big, is there no place for us father and daughter?" Song Man said sadly.
"Yes..." Song Jinmei thought for a while, then suddenly sat up from the ground and said, "Father, do you still remember our younger brother who got married?"
Song Man froze there, and after a while he stuttered and said, "Which brother? You mean Jing Wei?" God knows how long it has been since he thought of this son, if Song Jinmei hadn't mentioned it today, he would have rushed to his own And a son.
That son was not pleasing to Song Man, nor was he too annoying. Generally speaking, he didn't take it seriously. He said, "Didn't he marry into the countryside? Don't you want to count on him..." Song Man I didn't hold out too much hope, even the town was in chaos, I'm afraid the farms outside the town were all slaughtered.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? At least it's a hope, let's just go and have a look?" Song Jinmei said, hope was rekindled in her eyes.
Song Man thinks about it too, anyway, he is desperate now, if his son is really alive, since he put a lot of dowry in the past, he should take in their father and daughter.
So, relying on a vague impression, the two asked passers-by for directions, and stumbled to Chashan Village.
In Chashan Village at this moment, everyone is busy building houses and working. It looks crowded and lively, which is completely different from other deserted villages.
Song Man and Song Jinmei were very surprised, why the people here didn't seem to be devastated by the flames of war.If not, their house seems to have been burned down. If so, why is everyone's face filled with energy, and the sadness and silence after the war are completely absent?
All in all, it's weird, but Song Man and Song Jinmei were very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't this mean that the person they are going to turn to is still alive and well?
The arrival of the two strangers made the villagers in Chashan Village think that they were refugees after the war. Although they did not greet them warmly, they asked them politely.
"Where did you two come from? What are you doing in our village?"
Song Man quickly said: "You guys, do you know a person named Song Jingwei? I am his father and he is my son!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm his older sister. Where is he now? Is he okay?" Song Jinmei also hurriedly said, when Song Jingwei brought so much dowry to marry here, many people should know her.
"You are Young Master Song's father?" The villagers were taken aback. Everyone looked at each other, and someone said, "But Young Master Song's father...isn't he the richest man in Lihua Town?" the old man.
"Hey, I'm really his father, we..." Seeing that they didn't believe in themselves, Song Man sighed quickly: "Isn't it because of the war that we fell into this situation..."
Everyone saw his miserable appearance and heard that Song Jingwei did have an older sister, so they just said: "Well, you go to the house to drink water first, and we will send someone to inform Young Master Song." If it is true at that time, it will be a good thing. If it's fake, hmph, let's blast these two liars out.
"Okay, thank you all." Song Man said quickly, he didn't eat or drink for several meals in a row, it would be even better if he could have something to eat.
The villagers led Song Man's father and daughter into the house, and someone brought them tea and some dim sum steamed buns.
Song Man and Song Jinmei were so hungry that they grabbed a steamed bun when they saw it, and ate it voraciously, almost choking on it.
"Hey, eat slowly, eat slowly, drink some water first..." The woman next to her saw it and urged her quickly, feeling that they were really pitiful.
If this is really Song Jingwei's father and sister, it is really a crime. The richest man has fallen to this level.
Hearing other people's sighs and sighs, Song Man and Song Jinmei didn't speak, but just kept eating.They didn't dare to speak out at all. They escaped after being chased and killed by the people in the town.
And I dare not go back to the government to solve this problem, because what they did later is indeed suspected of being a traitor.It's okay to be hunted down by the people of Lihua Town, but it's fine if you can't find them.But if they are identified as traitors by the government, then they don't want to live.
On Song Jingwei's side, he was suddenly notified by people from the village that two people who claimed to be his father and his sister had come.
"Jing Wei's father, and sister?" Yang Shi and Shen Dongming hurriedly asked, "Where are they? Why didn't they come to our house?" In their hearts, Song Man and Song Jinmei were in-laws. No matter how the relationship was before, you still have to do enough face-saving efforts.
"Uh, it's in the village! We don't know if what they said is true or not, so we dare not bring it here rashly..." The man who came to inform said, "The main reason is that they look too..." not like the richest man, And like a refugee.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and looked at Song Jingwei one after another. He was the one involved in this matter, and he had to speak.
"Let me go out and have a look." Song Jingwei said, in fact, he was probably sure in his heart that those two people should be real, because apart from those two, no one came back to him, let alone pretending to be his father and sister.
Seeing him standing up, Shen Junxi followed suit and gestured: "I'll go with you."
"That's right, let Brother Xi go with you. If it's really your father-in-law and sister, then hurry up and take them home." Yang Shi said, it was the first time he came to the door after all.
"En." Song Jingwei didn't say much, and went out with Shen Junxi.
On the way, I asked the man about the situation, and Song Jingwei didn't feel much when he heard that Song Man and Song Jinmei were in distress like refugees.On the contrary, Shen Junxi seemed very surprised. In his impression, Song Man was shining like gold, and he was the richest person he knew.He still remembers the anxiety and inferiority in his heart when he first set foot in the Song Mansion.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, Song Man would be reduced to this point.
"It's because of the war." The man scratched his head and said, not quite believing that the richest man in the town would become like this overnight.
"Hmm." Song Jingwei thought to himself, maybe it wasn't all caused by the war?Of course, there are indirect reasons, and the more I'm afraid it's because they committed suicide...
At this time, Song Man and Song Jinmei were almost full, and finally regained some strength, and began to inquire about Song Jingwei's news.
Knowing that Song Jingwei's reputation in the village is so high, both of them were very surprised, and of course a little disdainful, they seemed to think that this was not something worth worrying about.
Song Jinmei said: "My younger brother cultivated tea gardens and planted lotus roots to raise fish and shrimps. He must have made a lot of money, right?" Still not worth mentioning in the eyes.But now that they are in trouble, of course Song Jingwei has to be capable, how can he support them if he is not capable?
"Um, I'm not too sure about that." The woman said hesitantly, "I just heard that I didn't make any money in the first year, but that's what it should be. After all, it's only been less than a year, and there's another war, so..."
"That is to say, it has been more than a year, and he is still eating the dowry, and has not earned any money?" Song Jinmei said, and began to worry, how could the money be enough to spend?
"I said a long time ago that he is not suitable for business..." Song Man muttered, he had long disliked Song Jingwei.
"It's really useless, and it's fortunate that I married Mudlegzi, otherwise people wouldn't hate him to death." Song Jinmei also muttered, but she didn't think about herself, and she still didn't marry at the age of 21.
It's not that all men are unworthy of her, but those who are worthy of her don't want to marry her.Those who are willing to marry her are naturally inferior in status, and she looks down on him, so she has dragged on until now and has not married.
And her younger brother's children will be able to run and dance this year.
When the three of Song Jingwei walked in, they saw the father and son in ragged clothes, sitting in someone's house with big thorns, eating melon seeds while directing the women of the house to ask them to add tea and water.
"..." Song Jingwei recognized them first, and they were indeed Song Man and Song Jinmei. Although they had changed a lot, they were still recognizable, and then fell silent. They simply couldn't agree with their behavior.
"Master Song is here."
After being reminded, Song Man and Song Jinmei noticed that a relative they hadn't seen for more than a year was standing at the door.
Song Man took a look, and recognized that it was his son. He had gained weight, became more stable, and more majestic. This... almost made people dare not recognize each other.
But he still called out: "Jing Wei, are you Jing Wei? I'm Dad." He stood up and was about to walk towards Song Jingwei.
"You two, come out and talk." Song Jingwei directly frowned and said to the two of them
Seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Song Jingwei said again: "That's right, I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, everyone hurry up and let us know."
After getting an affirmative answer, the men in the room nodded dully, and said hastily: "Okay, let's go right away!" They said, and excitedly left the door of the Shen family's big room.
Soon, all the villagers in the mountain knew that they were going down the mountain tomorrow!
Many people froze there, seemingly forgetting to react.Didn't you always look forward to going down the mountain?Now that I am really going down the mountain, I feel a little bit reluctant to look at the folks around me who get along day and night.
"I said everyone, isn't it still a village after we go back? Don't be dazed, pack up your things and go!"
That's right, isn't it still a village after going back?What's so sad, what's so sad, pack up and go!
The villagers acted immediately, gathered a large family, and quickly packed their things.
"Then what! Pack up the urgent ones, take your time for the ones you don't need temporarily, we're not in a hurry!"
After one night, everyone in the mountain has almost cleaned up every household, and there are several big smokers.
Once the eldest son of the Shen family cleaned up, there were a lot of things, there was no way for them to take them down.
"Bring the urgent ones first, and the others can be taken care of later." Song Jingwei said, he didn't have many things, so he tidied up and only had two bags.
Shen Junxi doesn't have many things, but if he wants to pack the stupid things, there are several big baskets.
"It's only been five months, so there are so many things?" Song Jingwei looked at the stupid things and sighed.
"En." Shen Junxi smiled at him, and continued to classify things, some of which can be taken slowly.
"Brother Xi, and his wife, have you tidied up your things? Do you need your mother's help?" After tidying up her own house, Mrs. Yang came over to see if her son and daughter-in-law needed help.
"Thank you mother, our things are also packed, we don't need to help." Song Jingwei turned to Yang and said.
"Oh, isn't there a lot of things?" Yang probed in to have a look, and said.
"There are not many of us, and there are more things in Benben." Song Jingwei said, pointing out the big and small boxes that belonged to Benben to Mrs. Yang.
"Hehehe!" Yang smiled and said, "Take your time, let your father come and get it when you are free."
Early the next morning, when the sky was getting dark, everyone was ready to go.Looking around, a group of people, big and small, were standing outside the door covered with burdens, waiting for someone to say to leave.
The person who made the decision was naturally Song Jingwei. When his family came out, they hoped that everyone was ready.Don't say much nonsense, let everyone pay attention to safety, maintain order, and walk slowly one by one.
This time, it was not the eldest son of the Shen family who walked in front, but the members of the maintenance team, so as not to be unable to rescue them in case of danger.
Compared with the silent atmosphere when going up the mountain, everyone was obviously relaxed this time when going down the mountain.They brought home the joy and excitement, talking and laughing along the way.
"I forgot to mention one thing." Song Jingwei suddenly frowned and muttered.
The young man leaned over and looked at him with worried eyes.
"It's nothing, I heard from Yuan Guanlin that some houses in the village were burned..."
"..."
Returning home was originally a very happy thing, but some families were happy and others were sad.When everyone finally walked down the mountain and walked back to their long-lost home, they saw a mess everywhere, broken walls and broken walls.
Immediately there was a family, and the whole family burst into tears in front of the door.
"Sin! My house!"
The surrounding houses built in the past were also burned down.In the entire Chashan Village, there are twenty or thirty families whose houses were burned down, which is quite a number.
Before I could enjoy the joy of going home, I was disturbed by such a bad thing.Those whose houses are still in good condition feel sorry for those poor folks.
Although their house is okay, it can also be turned into a mess.In addition, the field is also full of weeds, and there is no income in the first half of the year.
But compared to the villagers whose houses were burned, it was still good.
At the same time, the members of the eldest family of the Shen family also returned home, and naturally the Lu family came back with them.The door was unlocked before they left, and the inside was empty because everything had been moved to the cellar.
All that needs to be done now is to open up the cellar and move things out for use.
The men put down their things, tucked up their sleeves and got to work.
"It's already noon now, why don't I cook first, let's talk after we're full." Yang followed Shen Dongming, moved a few things into the cellar, and wiped his hands.
They came down from the mountain early in the morning, and they were already hungry.
"That's right, even if we're not hungry, Benben is too, so let's cook first." Shen Dongming said.
Benben is now watching in the hands of the old man Yuan. He did not go back to the house on Xiaoliangshan, but followed the Shen family back here.The reason is that it is still not sure that it is very safe, and everyone will not let him go back alone.
Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei went in and out of the cellar, working together to move the relatively large pieces of furniture out.
"Fortunately, they didn't set fire to our house." Shen Dongming said while moving, he saw that someone had entered the house.
"It's empty and they can't burn it." Unless there's gasoline, the house was designed with fire protection in mind.
"Really?" Shen Dongming looked up at the roof of his own house, and it seemed the same.
After a busy noon, everyone continued to carry things after lunch.Move out the urgent ones first, and then take time for other decorations.
"Hey, nothing happened to our family. I'm sorry for those whose houses were burned down..." I heard that some people's houses in the village were burned down, and everyone felt sorry for them.
"Then what are they going to do tonight? What about the whole family." Fortunately, it's not cold now, if such a thing happens in a windy and frosty day, it will be called a real crime.
"How do you know, go to the neighbor's house and squeeze?"
Song Jingwei said, "Naturally, we have to squeeze together. We will help each other. We will call everyone together tomorrow to discuss rebuilding the house."
As soon as everyone heard what he said, they knew that he must be doing something, and they all asked curiously: "What is Jing Wei thinking?"
"I'll find out tomorrow."
The next day, Song Jingwei went to the village in person and called everyone over to talk.When everyone saw him coming, he seemed to have something to say, and they gathered naturally.
"Fellow folks, the house is still under construction after it burns down, so we don't have to be sad. Saving our lives this time is the greatest victory." Standing among the villagers, he said unhurriedly: "I know Everyone is very difficult now, not only about the house, but also the fields and crops, which have lost a lot in the past six months of fleeing."
"..." The villagers remained silent, waiting for Song Jingwei's next words. They vaguely knew that Young Master Song was doing something good for them again.
"I can't promise to help you much, because this matter still depends on everyone's unity. I mean, starting today, everyone will work together to build the burned houses first. As for farming, I will organize another group People are responsible for the crops in the second half of the year. At the same time, the bulk of the cost of building the house needs to be prepared by everyone, and I can only pay a small part."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and a small part was pretty good, after all, there are so many families in the whole village.
"Master Song, do you offer some for every family building a new house?" Someone asked boldly.
"Yes, according to the actual situation, I will measure how much I can help each family. The money is not paid to make everyone appreciate me, but I think we are one-hearted people. No matter I am in trouble or everyone is in trouble, we should Take it as your own business and work together to solve him."
"Well said, we are from the same village, we escaped difficulties together, and killed the enemy together! We should have one heart, and those who have two hearts, if you are not sober, you are not worthy of being members of our village!" All men who are against the enemy have an extremely strong sense of belonging and honor.
Their impressions of the village are no longer what they used to be, and their positioning is also clearer than ever.
"That's right! We should all be of one mind! These days, everyone went through life and death together, survived together for five months, and now there is no casualty in our village. Whose credit is this? I dare not say that it is all due to Young Master Song But I dare say, it’s all of us!" The young and passionate man said, "I hope our village will always be united like this!"
"Forever united!" the young man took the lead in shouting.
Shouting and shouting, everyone, old and young, let go of their voices, and there was a burst of pride on the ground.Since the increase of mixed surnames in the village decades ago, there has never been such a harmonious and united time in Chashan Village.
This time it was a blessing in disguise, and another unprecedented condensation was ushered in.
"Okay!" Song Jingwei looked at this scene very relieved, called out those familiar people before, and explained the division of labor to them. Everyone acted separately, and the efficiency was extremely high.
Under the influence of this kind of spirit, those villagers who are not so enthusiastic don't dare to raise objections, let alone have bad intentions.Maybe they will change through this opportunity in silence, or maybe they will stick to the past, this is unknown.
For a while, the village seemed to enter a strange state.
Everyone works regardless of each other. Today everyone will work at your house and help your family build the house.Tomorrow everyone will work at his house, and everyone will help his family build the house together.No one cares about how many days someone's house has been used, and no one cares about it. My family doesn't need to build a new house, so why should I help.
The same goes for the work in the fields, and even some women who don't have to bring babies come out to help.
Everything is going well, and everything is going in a good direction.When the villagers saw hope, they worked hard.In this way, those things that should be sad don't seem to be so sad. With everyone here, I am not afraid.
In the face of such mutual help, many people often talk about Song Jingwei, saying that if there is not him in the village, the village will be destroyed.
Therefore, the big house of the Shen family was also very lively during this time, and people often came to visit and bring something to the family.Yang accepted everything that was produced in her own land, and for those that needed to be bought with money, she seriously warned everyone not to buy them, even if they were given to her, she would not accept them.
So everyone knows that their family likes to eat sweet potatoes and taro, but they don't want to buy them with money.
In fact, after five months of consumption, everyone's food at home is not much, so we can send a little, just as we wish.
After receiving these things, Mrs. Yang will give back something to each household, and they will treat it as an exchange for each other, for a change of taste.
However, there are still two kinds of sweet potato and taro, so I always eat these two kinds at home recently, and I am almost tired of eating them.
After the couple made out at night, Song Jingwei rubbed his stomach and whispered to the young man, "I'm a little hungry." What he ate at night was taro again, and he wasn't very full.
"..." Shen Junxi touched his stomach, and gestured: "Wait, I'll make noodles."
He got up, put on his clothes, and put them on, but saw Song Jingwei also got up to put on clothes, so he blinked suspiciously.
"Let's go, don't you want to make noodles? Hurry up." Song Jingwei put on his shoes and urged.
"En." Shen Junxi chuckled, put on his shoes, and went out with him.
"I'm going to take over Benben tomorrow, so I don't want to be like this again... fooling around." Song Jingwei said softly, his voice was very textured at night, and it was a kind of heart-warming enjoyment to the young man's ears.
"Okay." After Shen Junxi gestured, he took his wife's hand, and the couple walked slowly down the dark corridor.
At this point, everyone in the family fell asleep, only Xiao Hei and Da Huang in the yard were lying there lazily.Hearing their couple coming, they wagged their tails excitedly.
"Shh, don't bark, I'll feed you later." Song Jingwei whispered, he didn't want to wake up his family.
The two quietly walked into the kitchen, Shen Junxi fumbled to light up the oil lamp, and then he moved a low stool for Song Jingwei to sit there.
"No, you're busy, I think I can get you something." Song Jingwei said, patrolling the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Shen Junxi smiled, opened the wooden lid of the water tank, and picked up a handful of shrimps with a small dustpan.
"Huh? And this one, when did you catch it?" Song Jingwei said in surprise, he hadn't eaten shrimp for a long time.Recently, I don’t cook delicious food at home, so I eat sweet potatoes and taro.
"This afternoon." The young man put the shrimp on the stove and gestured.Then roll up your sleeves and start kneading and making noodles.
"I'll handle the shrimp." Song Jingwei took out the scissors and peeled the shrimp.
While meeting, Shen Junxi looked at him who was concentrating under the oil lamp, with a gentle smile on his face.After a few glances, he lowered his head and continued to meet, and then looked up a few times after thinking about it.That side face is obviously very familiar, and I can draw it with my eyes closed, but I still feel that I can't get enough of it no matter how I look at it.
Even though the person is right in front of your eyes, the longing in your heart has never stopped.
"Well, let's go to the vegetable garden and steal some tender vegetables." Song Jingwei said, he had already prepared the shrimps, and wanted to add something to the noodles, so he thought about the bunch of young cabbages planted by Yang, which had just grown After a crop.
"..." Hearing that he used the word "steal", Shen Junxi bent his eyes and laughed, then watched his wife go out.
Not long after, he stole some tender cabbages and came back, washed them in the basin for use.
At this time, Shen Junxi's noodles were also reconciled, and he pulled them apart in twos and twos, and put them into the boiling water.
"When will this be released?" Song Jingwei asked with his shrimp in one hand and his tender cabbage in the other.
"Not so fast, wait until the noodles are cooked." Shen Junxi gestured, staring at the heat seriously, and when the time came, he smiled at Song Jing and nodded, signaling that it could be released.
Song Jingwei glanced at him, then put the two things into the pot by himself.
Shen Junxi stirred it with a spoon, closed the lid, and counted about ten times. He removed the firewood and put a large porcelain bowl on the pot.
"Is that all right?" Song Jingwei looked at his smooth flow, and picked up a bowl of noodles, of course there was still some in the pot.
"Yeah." The young man packed up the last bowl, took out a plate of chili peppers in the kitchen cabinet, and gestured to Song Jingwei: "Do you want this?"
"No." Song Jingwei said immediately, then picked up the rich and beautiful bowl, and sat on the low stool to eat.
"..." Shen Junxi smiled, and added some chili peppers to his bowl.He also found a low stool and sat down next to Song Jingwei, and the two of them ate noodles together next to each other.
He knew that his daughter-in-law liked to eat shrimps, and if he found big ones in the bowl, they would always be caught in the daughter-in-law's bowl.
"..." Originally, there were a lot of shrimps and cabbage in his bowl, Song Jingwei said to him, "You eat, I have a lot here."
When Shen Junxi still put it in his bowl, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't eat spicy food!"
"..." Shen Junxi was so frightened that his hands shook, luckily he didn't shake off the shrimp, so he had no choice but to put it in his mouth.And looked at Song Jingwei aggrievedly, this is really not spicy.
"Eat quickly." Seeing this, Song Jingwei poked his cheek with the chopsticks and said.
The young couple finished eating a large bowl of noodles intently, and it was already deep.The stuffed Song Jingwei sat there unwilling to move, Shen Junxi took away the bowl in his hand and washed it clean.
Looking up at the young man busy by the stove, Song Jingwei sighed softly, so he could hold on.
"..." Shen Junxi looked back at him, and laughed when he learned that he was full, wiped his hands carefully, and came over to extend his palm to him.
"..." Song Jingwei gave him his hand and asked the young man to pull himself up. Seeing the young man gesturing, he said, "Go, I'll take you to digest food."
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Xiao Hei and Da Huang obediently waiting at the door, they looked pitiful enough.
"Hey, we must do what we promised." Song Jingwei turned his head to the young man and said, "...just see what we can give them to eat."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at his daughter-in-law helplessly, the two big dogs had already been fed at night, and they were just greedy.
"Go." Song Jingwei said, pushing his arm.
"..." It's rare for a daughter-in-law to be like this, Shen Junxi didn't want to reject him, so he nodded.But there was nothing to eat in the kitchen. He found [-] things that looked like sauced meat in the kitchen cabinet. It was too dark to see clearly, so he ate it to the dog.
Seeing the two big dogs eating happily, they blew out the oil lamp in the kitchen and walked slowly back to the yard.
As he was walking, the young man stopped suddenly and kissed his wife.
Song Jingwei looked at him suspiciously, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw him shaking his head, smiling very reserved but not reserved.
The two went back to the house and rested until dawn.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yang was in the kitchen, and suddenly exclaimed: "Where's my sauced pork?" After a while, she exclaimed: "Who ate my stupid shrimp?"
That's not to mention, when she went to water the vegetable garden, she saw a row of good cabbage suddenly missing a corner, and she beat her chest in distress: "Which stupid guy is it, how can he pull vegetables like this?"
When the whole family had breakfast in the morning, Yang mentioned these few things. She suspected that a thief had entered the house.
Song Jingwei laughed unnaturally, and confessed to Yang: "I plucked the cabbage, and we ate the shrimp together. As for the sauced pork..." He looked at the two big dogs outside, and laughed awkwardly .
"So it's like this?" Yang was relieved when she heard that it was her daughter-in-law who ate it. She patted her chest and said, "I thought a thief had entered in the middle of the night."
Everyone laughed, and saw the young man who had committed a crime last night gesticulating: "I suddenly got hungry at night, so I got up and made noodles to eat." There was also that shrimp, which he caught specially for his wife, so he was not stupid and lonely. some.
"Okay, as long as it's not a thief." Yang waved his hand and said, how could he pursue this.
After everyone had dinner, Lu's family solemnly told everyone that they decided to go back to their hometown for a visit.After saying this, everyone in the Shen family's eldest family was astonished, how could they just leave?
"I don't know what's going on over there now, why don't you wait before leaving?" Song Jingwei persuaded.
Qiao Lang looked at his parents, sighed and said, "We discussed it together last night, and I think it's better to go back early." His parents are old, and they miss their hometown.
"Okay, since you've all discussed it, we won't hold you back either." Seeing their homesickness, everyone understood.
"Thank you." The two elders of the Lu family said solemnly to them.We've been together for more than half a year, and everyone gets along very well, so it's not customary to leave suddenly.If you don't really miss your hometown...
"Don't say those polite words." Seeing the other party's true feelings, Yang's eyes turned red unconvincingly, as if she was about to say goodbye, "The journey is actually not far away. It is very convenient for young people to come and go. Let's hang out more in the future."
"Yes." Qiao Yun said, "It's up to you to visit our house next time, but don't forget to come."
"Yeah, that's a must. After a while, when the family is free, let's go to your house as a guest!" Shen Dongming said.
"That's fine, I'll pick you up when the time comes!" Qiao Lang said with a smile, dispelling the sorrow of parting in a hearty voice.
"..." The mute gestured excitedly, telling them to come.
Shen Junxi replied to him: "Certainly come! Let's go back and see you."
He nodded in relief, and kept nodding.
In the next day, I helped Lu's family pack their things.Yang packed a lot for them and asked them to go home together.The Lu family refused to accept, so the two families pushed back and forth.
But no matter what, the next day came soon, and they still bid farewell at the pier.
Every time this happens, it is always very sad.The big men are okay, but their eyes are a little red, while the women just started crying.
"Everyone, take care, no matter what problems you encounter when you go back, take care of yourself." Before sending them on board, the Shen family and his wife said while pulling everyone by the pier.
"Take care, you don't need to see each other off, let's go home quickly." The Lu family said, and everyone said goodbye to each other.
After watching the big boat leave, Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped away tears, and sighed, "I don't know when we will see each other again after this farewell."
"What nonsense, the distance is not far, and the boat is comfortable." Shen Dongming said, the usual boat is indeed comfortable, much better than riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Yes, I will give money to the dumb man every year in the future." Song Jingwei said, "I hope the dumb man will live a long and healthy life."
"Yeah, that's right." Shen Dongming looked at his family and the precious grandson on his son Shen Junxi's back, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's all go home."
At the same time, in the chaotic Pear Blossom Town, a ragged father and daughter were chased, beaten and killed.
"It's the two of them who sold out. National traitors! Killed my daughter, they deserve to die!"
The two being hunted down were Song Man and Song Jinmei. They escaped from the town in a panic and never dared to go back.
Song Man, who had lost a lot of weight, said with self-pity: "God, how did I, Song Man, end up in this situation?" His original wealth and glory were wiped out by a war.He didn't believe it was true, and couldn't accept this cruel fact.
"Why?" Song Jinmei, his daughter, fell weakly on the side of the road and said, "It's not because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and use other people's daughters to trample..." Since the enemy's army was driven out of the country, the hard life of the two of them has become more and more serious. coming.
How beautiful it was before, how miserable it is now.
"What sarcastic words are you talking about, and I'm not doing it for you?" Song Man widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard his daughter say this to him. The reason why he raped other daughters was all because of Song Jinmei.
"Don't use me as a raft, because you are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Song Jinmei said, "I told you to escape a long time ago, but you dare not escape!" Although the situation was critical at that time, many people also broke through the barrier and took the opportunity to escape. escaped.
Song Jinmei also had the idea of taking her father out, but her father didn't dare. When he saw the soldiers of the enemy country, his feet were so frightened that he couldn't move at all.
Song Man thought of his performance at that time, and had nothing to say about his daughter's accusation.If he had never done it once, he would still dare not, because his legs would weaken when he thought of the sharp spears and bright spears in the hands of the soldiers.
"Then what should we do now? We are penniless, and we dare not go back to the town..." Song Man sank down on the side of the road and sat down.
"Yeah, do we deserve to die..." Song Jinmei said in a daze. After being chased in the town for a long time, she was tired and hungry, and she didn't want to move at all.
"I don't know, where did Lao He escape?" Song Man said, he seemed to have seen Lao He fleeing with his burden on his back and his family with him.
"So what if he knows, will he be willing to take us in?" Song Jinmei snorted and sighed a little sadly: "In this world, there are many people who are hurting people, but few people are giving charcoal in the snow. How can anyone be willing to take us in?" She Thinking of myself as a rich young lady, but it was her turn to go to such an extent, she couldn't stop feeling sad and angry.
In the past, the Song family had a lot of people in Lihua Town, but now they have an accident, but no one is willing to stand up and help.
"So, the sky is big and the earth is big, is there no place for us father and daughter?" Song Man said sadly.
"Yes..." Song Jinmei thought for a while, then suddenly sat up from the ground and said, "Father, do you still remember our younger brother who got married?"
Song Man froze there, and after a while he stuttered and said, "Which brother? You mean Jing Wei?" God knows how long it has been since he thought of this son, if Song Jinmei hadn't mentioned it today, he would have rushed to his own And a son.
That son was not pleasing to Song Man, nor was he too annoying. Generally speaking, he didn't take it seriously. He said, "Didn't he marry into the countryside? Don't you want to count on him..." Song Man I didn't hold out too much hope, even the town was in chaos, I'm afraid the farms outside the town were all slaughtered.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? At least it's a hope, let's just go and have a look?" Song Jinmei said, hope was rekindled in her eyes.
Song Man thinks about it too, anyway, he is desperate now, if his son is really alive, since he put a lot of dowry in the past, he should take in their father and daughter.
So, relying on a vague impression, the two asked passers-by for directions, and stumbled to Chashan Village.
In Chashan Village at this moment, everyone is busy building houses and working. It looks crowded and lively, which is completely different from other deserted villages.
Song Man and Song Jinmei were very surprised, why the people here didn't seem to be devastated by the flames of war.If not, their house seems to have been burned down. If so, why is everyone's face filled with energy, and the sadness and silence after the war are completely absent?
All in all, it's weird, but Song Man and Song Jinmei were very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't this mean that the person they are going to turn to is still alive and well?
The arrival of the two strangers made the villagers in Chashan Village think that they were refugees after the war. Although they did not greet them warmly, they asked them politely.
"Where did you two come from? What are you doing in our village?"
Song Man quickly said: "You guys, do you know a person named Song Jingwei? I am his father and he is my son!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm his older sister. Where is he now? Is he okay?" Song Jinmei also hurriedly said, when Song Jingwei brought so much dowry to marry here, many people should know her.
"You are Young Master Song's father?" The villagers were taken aback. Everyone looked at each other, and someone said, "But Young Master Song's father...isn't he the richest man in Lihua Town?" the old man.
"Hey, I'm really his father, we..." Seeing that they didn't believe in themselves, Song Man sighed quickly: "Isn't it because of the war that we fell into this situation..."
Everyone saw his miserable appearance and heard that Song Jingwei did have an older sister, so they just said: "Well, you go to the house to drink water first, and we will send someone to inform Young Master Song." If it is true at that time, it will be a good thing. If it's fake, hmph, let's blast these two liars out.
"Okay, thank you all." Song Man said quickly, he didn't eat or drink for several meals in a row, it would be even better if he could have something to eat.
The villagers led Song Man's father and daughter into the house, and someone brought them tea and some dim sum steamed buns.
Song Man and Song Jinmei were so hungry that they grabbed a steamed bun when they saw it, and ate it voraciously, almost choking on it.
"Hey, eat slowly, eat slowly, drink some water first..." The woman next to her saw it and urged her quickly, feeling that they were really pitiful.
If this is really Song Jingwei's father and sister, it is really a crime. The richest man has fallen to this level.
Hearing other people's sighs and sighs, Song Man and Song Jinmei didn't speak, but just kept eating.They didn't dare to speak out at all. They escaped after being chased and killed by the people in the town.
And I dare not go back to the government to solve this problem, because what they did later is indeed suspected of being a traitor.It's okay to be hunted down by the people of Lihua Town, but it's fine if you can't find them.But if they are identified as traitors by the government, then they don't want to live.
On Song Jingwei's side, he was suddenly notified by people from the village that two people who claimed to be his father and his sister had come.
"Jing Wei's father, and sister?" Yang Shi and Shen Dongming hurriedly asked, "Where are they? Why didn't they come to our house?" In their hearts, Song Man and Song Jinmei were in-laws. No matter how the relationship was before, you still have to do enough face-saving efforts.
"Uh, it's in the village! We don't know if what they said is true or not, so we dare not bring it here rashly..." The man who came to inform said, "The main reason is that they look too..." not like the richest man, And like a refugee.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and looked at Song Jingwei one after another. He was the one involved in this matter, and he had to speak.
"Let me go out and have a look." Song Jingwei said, in fact, he was probably sure in his heart that those two people should be real, because apart from those two, no one came back to him, let alone pretending to be his father and sister.
Seeing him standing up, Shen Junxi followed suit and gestured: "I'll go with you."
"That's right, let Brother Xi go with you. If it's really your father-in-law and sister, then hurry up and take them home." Yang Shi said, it was the first time he came to the door after all.
"En." Song Jingwei didn't say much, and went out with Shen Junxi.
On the way, I asked the man about the situation, and Song Jingwei didn't feel much when he heard that Song Man and Song Jinmei were in distress like refugees.On the contrary, Shen Junxi seemed very surprised. In his impression, Song Man was shining like gold, and he was the richest person he knew.He still remembers the anxiety and inferiority in his heart when he first set foot in the Song Mansion.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, Song Man would be reduced to this point.
"It's because of the war." The man scratched his head and said, not quite believing that the richest man in the town would become like this overnight.
"Hmm." Song Jingwei thought to himself, maybe it wasn't all caused by the war?Of course, there are indirect reasons, and the more I'm afraid it's because they committed suicide...
At this time, Song Man and Song Jinmei were almost full, and finally regained some strength, and began to inquire about Song Jingwei's news.
Knowing that Song Jingwei's reputation in the village is so high, both of them were very surprised, and of course a little disdainful, they seemed to think that this was not something worth worrying about.
Song Jinmei said: "My younger brother cultivated tea gardens and planted lotus roots to raise fish and shrimps. He must have made a lot of money, right?" Still not worth mentioning in the eyes.But now that they are in trouble, of course Song Jingwei has to be capable, how can he support them if he is not capable?
"Um, I'm not too sure about that." The woman said hesitantly, "I just heard that I didn't make any money in the first year, but that's what it should be. After all, it's only been less than a year, and there's another war, so..."
"That is to say, it has been more than a year, and he is still eating the dowry, and has not earned any money?" Song Jinmei said, and began to worry, how could the money be enough to spend?
"I said a long time ago that he is not suitable for business..." Song Man muttered, he had long disliked Song Jingwei.
"It's really useless, and it's fortunate that I married Mudlegzi, otherwise people wouldn't hate him to death." Song Jinmei also muttered, but she didn't think about herself, and she still didn't marry at the age of 21.
It's not that all men are unworthy of her, but those who are worthy of her don't want to marry her.Those who are willing to marry her are naturally inferior in status, and she looks down on him, so she has dragged on until now and has not married.
And her younger brother's children will be able to run and dance this year.
When the three of Song Jingwei walked in, they saw the father and son in ragged clothes, sitting in someone's house with big thorns, eating melon seeds while directing the women of the house to ask them to add tea and water.
"..." Song Jingwei recognized them first, and they were indeed Song Man and Song Jinmei. Although they had changed a lot, they were still recognizable, and then fell silent. They simply couldn't agree with their behavior.
"Master Song is here."
After being reminded, Song Man and Song Jinmei noticed that a relative they hadn't seen for more than a year was standing at the door.
Song Man took a look, and recognized that it was his son. He had gained weight, became more stable, and more majestic. This... almost made people dare not recognize each other.
But he still called out: "Jing Wei, are you Jing Wei? I'm Dad." He stood up and was about to walk towards Song Jingwei.
"You two, come out and talk." Song Jingwei directly frowned and said to the two of them
