Chapter 19: Where can I go from here
"What did you father and daughter say? You are so happy?" Wan Hongmei also came over with a bowl.
"Mom, my father said he wanted to study and practice calligraphy." Yun Tao hurriedly shared this happy event with his mother.
It is a good thing that her father is motivated to study!
Wan Hongmei was not as happy as Yun Tao, but instead thought about the feasibility of this matter carefully.
"Can you do it?" Wan Hongmei looked at her man in confusion.
The two of them grew up childhood sweethearts and knew their roots. Since graduation, Yun Huachun has rarely read books.
I read newspapers every day, but this is different.
"It can be done if it doesn't work! The scholars here don't need to do labor service. You have to recite this if you don't recite it. If you recite it more, you don't need to be a high-ranking official." Yun Huachun made a decision.
Whether in their time or here, reading is a good thing that will bring good fortune to the family and bring honor to the ancestors.
"Then read it, but can you bear it when you are rushing during the day and studying at night?" Wan Hongmei was worried about this.
"When you have a carriage, buy a carriage if you have a carriage."
"If you have a horse, it's best to buy another horse, so that you can save your mother and mother from walking." Yun Huachun said in detail his plan.
He had already thought about buying horses and carriages.
Donkeys are specially designed to pull chariots. If they pull the carriage, one horse may not be able to pull it. The family needs at least two.
"If you buy it, you may need to sell some of your jewelry if you don't have enough money."
In addition to the three gold pieces bought by the couple when they got married, Wan Hongmei's jewelry also had gold locks given by her family when they were full moon.
There is not too much gold, but there is always something to get together.
"Sold! Sold!"
It’s not that she is reluctant to use gold, but she just sighs that there is too little gold in her family.
"If I had known, I would have exchanged the money deposited in the bank for gold bars." Wan Hongmei also sighed.
"Mom, be content and happiness, the important thing is that our family is reunited and healthy." Yun Tao comforted.
The girl's round eyes rolled around and her mind was carefully searching for valuable things in the house.
She remembers that there is anything else worthwhile, but she will talk about it later.
After resting in the tea shop, the villagers looked much more energetic.
I don’t know if it’s because I met a noble man who was still resting in the inn, and I felt that I had a lot of stability along the way.
"We don't need to fight so hard in the future." Yun Huachun announced the news.
The desperate journey a few days ago was proposed by Yun Huachun, and the stimulation of the Hu spies later, the faster the journey was.
Everyone was still worried about what he said.
"Don't you really have to hurry up like this? What if the Hu people came here?" someone in the village asked.
This is a problem that everyone is worried about.
"You still have to escape. It's hot, it's dark early and it's dark. Just take the place to rest before dark, and then it's still not dawn."
"If you always drive like this, not only can people not stand it, but mules can also be tired and paralyzed. Don't be happy if you don't have to drive like this. We also have to think about the issue of food..." Yun Huachun said.
After hearing this, the surroundings became quieter.
No matter who has a family, adults and children have to eat.
For people with a large population, hundreds of kilograms of food have been taken, and I don’t know how many days I can eat it.
Everyone packed up their things and prepared to rush forward.
Yuntao helped her mother pack her things, and the old man in the tea shop staggered forward to add a fire to the stove.
"Old man, why don't you clean up and go with us?" Yun Tao leaned forward and said.
There are all escapes around, but the old man is still here. The Hu people will be called sooner or later, and the old man will definitely die if he stays here.
The old man looked at Yun Tao with a muddy gaze and shook his head.
"I am so old, where can I go if I leave here."
"Let's go with us, at least to a safe place. You can open a tea shop at that time."
"Your son must be alive. When the Hu people come here, there will be chaos and it will be difficult for you to find a son..."
"How about you hid a letter where you can keep it and leave it to your son as a secret code, and let him come to find you at that time." Yun Tao's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about a way to persuade the old man to leave.
The old man's expression did not change at all, and he calmly added a can of water to the teapot.
"My ancestors have lived here for generations, and I have lived here since I was born, for more than fifty years."
"I can't walk anymore."
No matter how Yuntao persuaded him, the old man made up his mind not to leave here.
Yuntao didn't know what he should do or what to do to change all this.
"Daughter, stop thinking about it, let's go." Wan Hongmei took her daughter's hand and took her away.
Just as the old man said, he had nowhere to go after leaving here.
Leaving is a choice, and staying is also a choice.
The people in their village fled together, and the people in the village watched as everyone around left, guarding their houses and fields.
Because without these things, they are like rootless duckweed, floating without help, nothing.
Yuntao was depressed for several days because of this matter until they arrived at the first town.
This town is much smaller than Yuntao imagined, and there are no signs on the street.
There are only a few shops, and more are farmers squatting on the street carrying loads, looking at the pedestrians around with longing eyes.
Because the group of people in Shigang Village are too large, they have brought them a lot of expectations.
"Customers passing by, take a look at my food..."
“My eggs are so fresh.”
Yun Huachun ran back from the front of the team, walked to his family and said, "I just asked, and a pound of grain has increased to eleven cents."
"The food price behind this is probably more expensive. I want to buy some, what do you think?"
The original price of grain was three cents per kilogram, which has increased several times, but I have to buy it.
"Dad, will we rest here for a while?" Yun Tao asked.
"You can rest for a long time."
"Then how much food should we buy?"
Yun Huachun didn't say anything and compared the number with his fingers.
Three hundred kilograms.
"I will put a hundred kilograms into the car and eat slowly when the time comes." Yun Huachun said.
In addition, he also wants to buy something else, and people cannot just eat food.
He saw that there were pickled vegetables and chickens and ducks on the street, so he could store some in the space.
When the electricity is used at home, you can turn on the air conditioner and blow it to keep it fresh.
While everyone was resting, the Yun family went to the only inn in the town to ask for a room.
"Yun Huachun also took his wife to stay in the inn?"
The people in the village were sitting and resting in the open space not far away, watching the family's actions.
Shi Fang also frowned.
Villagers usually go home in the dark to save money in order to save money. Even if a relative comes to a family, they will not be extravagant to live in the inn.
These days, we have been running away from home, and everyone lives in the wilderness.
Isn’t it good to have this money to buy a few kilograms of grain?
