Chapter 8 Home? New Home?

"By the way, grandpa, our knife and axe are not cut off?" On the way, Yang Heng suddenly remembered this incident, "Ha, boy, and what you forgot. I tell you, I've prepared this long ago. Haven't you seen a few whetstones in the car? I asked your mother to bring them all out." Dad was happy, and my mother also laughed on the side, "You kid, you have all the knifes, are you still worried that you won't be sharp?"

It was so cool. Yang Heng's thoughts were relieved. Then he took a deep breath and sighed in his heart, "The air in ancient times is fresh, just like the sunny thing after the rain." It was not because of the sunny thing after the rain. It was raining the day before yesterday, and it was obvious that some moisture could be seen on the land on both sides of the road. It was late autumn, and it was the time when the weather was clear and clear. The family of three set off on the road with hope.

At this time, this place did not have the image of the loess slopes everywhere in the future. At this time, it was still green all over the mountains, with yellow and yellow in the green. Soon, winter was coming, and farmers were harvesting crops in the fields in the distance.

"Dalang, the harvest at home is good this year." "Yes, father-in-law, the harvest in the fields this year is enough for the owner's rent, and the rest is enough for next year." The farmers were harvesting in the fields and even had a happy conversation. Over the years, due to the war, the farmers who could farm were greatly reduced, and even reached the lowest population period in history. According to historical records, the national population at this time was only more than 2 million, and some landlords collected less rent when renting land outside. If you don't rent, others will rent it...

For thousands of years, whether in the past, present or in the future generations of Yang Heng, the people of China have been satisfied as long as they have a bite of food, a wall to protect the wind, a roof to protect the rain, and a piece of clothes to protect the ugliness. But if you think about history carefully, how much time does the people have to satisfy? Not every time they have become a tool for the nobles to play.

Yang Heng was confused in his heart, what could he do when he came to this era?

"Heng'er, Heng'er, what are you thinking?" "Ah," Yang Heng was awakened by my mother from thinking, "Ah, what, I'm about to fall into the ditch, walk well, and when I'm tired, go to the car to rest." I asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just thought about something. By the way, Grandpa, how long will we be there?" Yang Heng changed the topic.

"You're anxious. Not long after noon, we went outside the mountain. It was difficult to walk into the mountain. I was still thinking about how we got this car in. Do we need to carry it in?" Dad said while walking in front of him.

This was originally a ox cart, but Yang Heng's family had no ox, so his father had to tie a rope to the car and then carry the car forward. My mother followed closely behind the car and might help him and push him when she encountered uneven places. Yang Heng was walking along the side. This was mainly because the mother and son didn't know the way and could only follow behind.

"His father, are you tired? Why don't I come and take a while?" I asked my father considerately, "I'm not tired. This is enough for you, both of you, mother and son, to go up." My father answered arrogantly.

After walking, we walked and crossed the ridge and crossed the river, and finally, at noon, the family of three came to the edge of a mountain, and there was a not too big village on the edge of the mountain.

"Grandma, is this our hometown?" Yang Heng was very curious. This place was not as remote as my father said. At least it still relies on an official road here.

"No, our home is still in the mountains." The father smiled bitterly.

"Oh, isn't this Dalang? Why did you come back to see your grandfather come?" When Yang Heng was talking to his father, an old man suddenly appeared beside him. It seemed that he knew his father. Yang Heng wondered, how could he recognize his father's face?

"Ah, you are, you are uncle, Lai Ying'er, Xiaoheng, this is my uncle, your name is Aweng, Uncle is his wife, Er, Ying'er, Heng'er." Aweng, where did Aweng come from? Oh, I remembered that it might be the brother of my father's stepmother, "Hello Aweng." "Okay, I didn't expect that Dalang has a wife, and I haven't come home to see your grandfather for so many years, by the way, your Erlang (my father's brother) is now engaged, you are back to see your grandfather."

From the old man's words, I really couldn't tell why they were not good to my father. Yang Heng even suspected that my father was lying, but then he directly confirmed his father's statement.

"No, isn't this impossible to survive in the city? I want to come back to settle down." Dad is really true, wouldn't you say you're tired of living in the city? "That's not possible, don't you know that your grandfather has just a little land, and wild beasts often come down to destroy it on the mountain. How can you support your family of three more? If this doesn't happen, it won't happen." The old man changed his face and smiled in front, but now his face suddenly turned into a donkey-faced face.

"Aweng, we didn't say we came back to live with Aweng. We want to come back to open up land and farm, and live by ourselves." Yang Heng saw that it was not good. Although his father, his uncle, did not work in it, he could not let his father mess up the matter.

"Children, go there, ah, what did you say? You won't live with your Aweng, which means you won't go to your Aweng for help this time." The old man's face changed quite quickly.

"Yes, we just want to come back and build our own thatched house and open a few acres of barren land to live by ourselves." The father also said aggrievedly following Yang Heng's voice.

"Reading the land, that's good, Dalang, what place do you like? Are you in this village? I'll handle it for you." The old man's face changed again. "No, I've liked the forest next to the east of our village by the river. I wonder if anyone has occupied it now." "What do you say, the forest, no, no, no." "Ah, why are you occupied?" Yang Heng was anxious, "No, it just can't be opened in any place." The old man was anxious, wasn't you disguised? You still have to ask your grandfather to help me. "Dalang, you know that your village has been opened many times, but none of them have succeeded." The old man seemed very kind.

"We will choose that place." The father said firmly. "Okay, that place is that place, but I tell you Dalang, if you want that place, I will do everything for you first. If you don't want it, I will say no. I can't afford you." The old man said seriously, but he thought in his heart, okay, since you have been convinced, then I will tie you up and not leave you a chance.

"Sure, that's it." Yang Heng found that his father was hesitant, so he took it firmly. At this time, his father was full of hesitation, and my mother was at a loss.

"Dalang, where are you." "Okay, I agree too." The father agreed helplessly, "How much land are you going to reclaim?" The old man struck while the iron was hot and asked to settle the matter.

"How much can you give us?" Since you said you gave it, I will ask for more. This is Yang Heng's idea. "A hundred acres, it seems that there are rumors recently that the court has decided that each male family can give 100 acres of land and one acre of courtyard land." The old man also came up with a cruel thing, and even some things do not need to be explained. In fact, there are Yongye fields and trunk fields. In addition, before the deserted fields were reclaimed, I just said hello to the inner world and went to draw the land. After the reclaimed fields were reclaimed, I would officially calculate the area and get some land deeds. But now he did this to make the father and the dead land. This father didn't even understand Yang Heng, let alone my mother.

"By the way, Ahon, if we open the wasteland, can we use the water in the rivers over there?" "That's good to say I can indicate on the land deed that the rivers near your land will be used by your home." The old man said angrily.
