There was an empty carriage, and the injured son-in-law occupied less than half of the space when he lay down. The mother-in-law was also weak and could not walk long distances, so she had to find a fixed place.
The rest of the space was only allowed for women and children to rest, and it was so crowded that if they couldn't rest for a long time, they would have to move to the next class.
The carriage belonged to the Qian family, and Old Qi didn't have much trouble doing anything. Old Qian himself basically walked like any other man from the Qi family.
Today, Lao Qi's family dispersed their wealth and threw away many things from the oxcarts. Two oxcarts came out with two empty carts at the back. He then called his third brother over and let him enjoy the time of his escape.
The addiction of being able to ride a carriage.
Here is a small episode -
——Before departure, old man Qi called Qi Kang'an aside to talk alone: "I just took a look at our belongings, and when we left, I felt reluctant to part with anything. Looking at it now, I feel that it is really unnecessary to carry some things."
On the contrary, it is a burden.
Food and water are necessities.
It's okay to bring clothes, quilts, etc., but these can be discarded at critical moments.
Hammers and hatchets are indispensable items whether they can be used as armor on the road or when you are safe and settled in the future.
The pot is needed for the time being. Who doesn’t want to eat on the way? But it is also something that can be thrown away at critical moments.
Others are better and you don’t have to bring them with you.
The most critical necessities were kept neatly. Food occupied three oxcarts, and clothes, quilts, hammers, knives, and pots could all be squeezed into one oxcart.
The bullock cart with two buckets can accommodate people, and the other cart will be left empty for the time being.
Of course, the most important thing is that they have plug-ins.
"We have all three pots with us. I didn't plan to give the pots to anyone else, so I asked Bao'er to keep two of them. The ancestors' ranking, the altar table at home, the three jars of wine we have hidden, and a few jars of pickles, etc., I
Let Bao'er keep them all."
Old man Qi glanced at Qi Bao'er who was nibbling green jujubes. The green jujubes were picked by that girl Tian Sanni who didn't know where.
They were all quite big, and Tian Sanni carried a dozen of them with the hem of her clothes. At that time, he was holding Bao'er while 'inspecting' his belongings. Tian Sanni hurried over, dumped Qingzao in front of them, and turned around.
run.
He was quite embarrassed to accept it. It was not easy for Tian Sanni to be a child. She decided to keep this fruit secretly by herself. If it was discovered, she would definitely be beaten.
But his Bao'er Guaiguai had already collected the fruit with a wave of his hand, and said something that he didn't understand at all, 'I just charge interest.'
What kind of interest do you charge? You just charge interest?
I don’t understand, but it’s really rare to have a piece of fruit on the road. Old man Qi feels sorry for Qi Bao’er. Since Bao’er obediently accepts it, Qi and his family will inherit this love. They think that they will take care of more fields on the road from now on.
That child Sanni.
Not to mention his reality, Tian Sanni is just an outsider. In front of Qi Baoer, even his own children and grandchildren have to stand aside.
Qi Kang'an, who had to stand aside, didn't know his humble status in his father's heart. He thought about it and nodded after hearing what Old Man Qi said.
He said, "Dad, I think this is appropriate. We happen to have some things that we feel we can leave behind. If Tianjia Village is not upright, there will be nothing wrong with it."
The folks in the village were all related to each other, so they were doing their best.
"Okay, you can ask someone to move it over later."
Old man Qi lowered his voice again and said: "I think you can find something in Sanhe Town, but how can it be worse than the pile of junk in our house?"
Praying for good health: "(⊙?⊙)"
Then, Qi Bao'er saw her father's eyes getting brighter and brighter. She patted her thigh and gave a thumbs up to Old Qi, "Dad, why didn't my son think of this?"
He just wanted to get over it.
Qibaoer: "Σ(°△°|||)︴"
She was shocked again and again by the Lao Qi family. They definitely have bandit genes!
Lao Qi's family sent things to Tianjia Village, what the people in Qijia Village thought behind it, and what Tianjia Village felt about it, let's not mention these for now. Anyway, now the whole family except the men have a place to sit.
Song Shuming has improved in the past two days. He can sit in the car and can occasionally get down and take a few steps. Old man Qi saw that there were still seats in the carriage, so he sent Qi Kangfu to call Qi Wenshou.
But Qi Wenshou's reaction later made Qi Bao'er feel that there must be something wrong with this family - stubbornness.
Qi Wenshou first opened a car curtain and looked inside. Today, sitting inside were Song Mingshu, a few of Lao Qi's family, and four children with a different surname.
People inside greeted Qi Wenshou one after another when they saw him. Song Mingshu called Third Brother, several Liangs called Third Grandpa, Song Xiaofeng, Song Xiaoyu and Qi Haoxuan, and Li Xiaojun followed a few Liangs and called Third Grandpa.
Old man Qian originally bought the carriage just to accommodate more people. The carriage was larger. Song Mingshu was lying on his side inside, and there were nine children sitting next to him. It was no problem to squeeze in the carriage and stuff a prayer for longevity into it.
Dali was sitting at the outermost position, listening to the voices outside, and was about to make room. After calling Third Grandpa, he had already left the carriage.
"Third Grandpa, you sit down, I'll sit outside." He was big and took up too much space inside.
The eldest brother takes care of himself, and the grandnephew is filial. Praying for Wenshou's heart is so worried that his eyes are red.
But he still shook his head, "No, Third Grandpa can just sit on the oxcart behind."
After saying this, he turned to Old Man Qi and said with a serious face and a fierce tone: "I won't sit in the carriage. I see there is a seat behind you in the ox cart. Old Qian, I, and all the others will sit in the back together."
Then, regardless of Old Man Qi's reaction, he shook his head and left.
"Hey~" This stubborn old man said.
Qi Bao'er is very strange. Why does she feel that Qi Wenshou doesn't want to see Song Mingshu?
She was very sure that she just saw the third grandfather's whole body tense up when he saw his sister-in-law.
Thinking so, she also asked Old Man Qi the same question.
Old man Qi didn't hide anything and told Qi Bao'er a short but long story about their three siblings.
Qi Yue was not the biological sister of Old Man Qi and Qi Wenshou. Qi Bao'er had known this because her only biological aunt who lived to adulthood had long since died due to dystocia.
Qi Yue is the daughter adopted by Grandma Qi Bao'er. Back then, the little girl was still in her infancy and was thrown at the door of Lao Qi's house in the middle of winter.
Old man Qi is the eldest brother. He has to help his widowed mother support the family, so he has no time to help take care of the children. Even more so for the great-grandmother. It is not easy for a widow to support the family, so Qi Yue is basically the one-handed supporter of Qi Wenshou.
big.
Okay, don't talk anymore, she can just guess what's going to happen next.
They were inseparable because the third grandfather no longer wanted to be an elder brother, but her sister-in-law later married her brother-in-law.
It’s too much to say, but it actually only takes less than ten minutes.
Qi Kang'an ran back again, ran in front of the horse and held up the torch, then turned around and shouted: "Dad, it's time to set off."
"Sure." Old Man Qi kicked the horse's belly with both legs.
"drive."
It's boring to walk on the road, especially when walking at night. The shadows of the surrounding trees in the dim light of the fire can always make people startle.
After walking for a while, Qi Kang'an stepped back and talked to old man Qi to relieve his boredom and strengthen his courage.
