Chapter 1860, the tide of immigrants in the mountains
On the other side, Daping Village deep in the Qinling Mountains.
The New Year has just passed a few days ago, and there are still more than ten days before the Lantern Festival. It should have been the most leisurely time for every household, but now, the entire Shangping Village is bustling with activity.
Young people in almost every household packed up their gifts, bid farewell to their relatives with tears in their eyes, and prepared to immigrate to the Black Territory Province.
In the past, everyone always thought that the mountains were good and everything was good in the mountains.
There are mountains, water, and acres of thin fields in the mountains. As long as you work harder, you can always live a good life.
However, since Li Da and Li Er immigrated one after another, they have lived a good life in Black Earth Province and sent a lot of money back to Carpenter Li's family.
During the Chinese New Year, no one dares to open their stomachs to eat. Everyone in Carpenter Li's family is already eating meat, dumplings, and steamed buns. Not to mention how comfortable their little life is.
Carpenter Li often brags to everyone that his eldest son has more than 2,000 acres of land and harvests millions of grains a year. His second son also has thousands of acres of land and earns several million just by harvesting wheat for others.
One hundred taels of silver.
He also said that his eldest son and second son ate meat almost three times a day, not to mention how comfortable they lived as children.
At first, everyone scoffed at Carpenter Li's bragging, and even thought it was impossible.
But last year, several young people in the village immigrated to Black Earth Province with Li Er, and they also wrote letters back, describing every detail of Black Earth Province.
Only then did everyone believe what Carpenter Li said and knew that he was not bragging but that all this was true.
The people in the Black Earth Province actually eat three meals a day, and eat every meal with open stomachs. The land in the Black Earth Province is so vast that it is mined immediately.
The land in the Black Soil Province is really fertile. It is all black soil. Whatever you plant grows, and there is a bumper harvest. People who immigrated, no matter how poor they are, now have dozens of acres of fertile land, and their families have a lot of food.
Endless food.
As for Li Da and the two brothers, they were even more prosperous. They had a lot of land and food, and their lives were not to mention comfortable.
On the one hand, they moved to Black Earth Province and lived a life of having thousands of acres of fertile farmland, and had meat for three meals a day. On the other hand, they continued to stay in this big mountain and farmed a few acres of thin fields, and could only eat two meals a day, but they still weren’t full.
hard days.
Everyone knows how to choose.
Almost every household in Shangping Village has people preparing to immigrate to Black Tu Province, so you can hear someone crying in almost every household.
Once you immigrate, it will be really difficult to see you in person in the future, and you may not be able to see you again in your lifetime.
Many people can't let go of their parents, and many parents can't let go of their children either.
However, despite all the reluctance and reluctance, everyone still has to immigrate for a better life.
"Boss, when you go out, you should learn more from Li Da, Li Er and others, and build up your family business as soon as possible, so that you can help your younger brother."
"When you are away from home, you need to be more discerning and don't simply believe what others say."
"The people outside are not as simple and honest as the people in our mountains. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. There are all kinds of people."
"You just keep following the big guys and don't get separated or separated. When you get to Black Earth Province, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Li Da and Li Er for help. After all, you have been playing together since childhood.
."
Old man Chen was nagging his eldest son Chen Da on some things.
Old Man Chen is the person who is most opposed to emigration in the mountains. He feels that nowhere can be as comfortable as in the mountains.
When Li Da immigrated, he was even laughed at by Old Man Chen, thinking that there were too many people in Carpenter Li's family, and it would be impossible for him to immigrate.
When Li Er immigrated, Old Man Chen also felt that Black Earth Province might be pretty good, but it certainly couldn't compare with the mountains. The mountains were so nice and had everything.
How can these immigrants live a good life after leaving their hometown? What’s more, we don’t know where the Black Soil Province is.
However, now, he has to support his son Chen Da to immigrate.
Looking at Carpenter Li eating delicious and spicy food during the Chinese New Year and living a comfortable life, and then looking at his own home, he doesn't even want to eat meat during the Chinese New Year. The gap is too big.
This person is afraid of comparison, afraid of comparing himself to others.
In comparison, he no longer objects to his son immigrating. No matter how he emigrates, he will make room for the second and third sons. If the eldest son goes to live in Black Earth Province, he can also let the second son live.
Go out with the third child.
"I know, I know!"
"There are a lot of people immigrating this time, and they are surrounded by acquaintances. What are you afraid of?"
Chen Da was a little impatient. Old Chen just had a lot to do and kept talking non-stop. Then look at where his mother was wiping her tears.
"Mom, don't cry. When I establish a foothold in Black Earth Province, my whole family will emigrate, and you will emigrate with me. By then, we will not be able to be together as a family again."
"Although I say that, I feel very uncomfortable when I think that you will never come back after you go out."
"Okay, okay~ I have to leave, everyone in the village is urging me."
Chen Da took his wife, carried their bags and walked out.
A lot of people have gathered in an open space at the entrance of Shangping Village. This time, hundreds of people have decided to move to Black Earth Province. Now that everyone is leaving, their families are coming to see them off.
There are also some people from other villages who have arrived early and are preparing to immigrate to Black Earth Province with the people from Shangping Village.
Shangping Village is now quite famous in the mountains, mainly because people spread the news about Li Da and Li Er who immigrated from Shangping Village, and many people knew about it.
Thinking of this, more people are immigrating. People from other villages came to Shangping Village early and prepared to immigrate to Black Earth Province with the immigration team of Shangping Village.
"Second brother, when you arrive in Black Earth Province, remember to go see the boss. If you need anything, you can also ask him. I have already written to him, telling him that you are also immigrating to Black Earth Province."
Old man Zhao was giving instructions to his second son.
The eldest son of his family immigrated with Li Er last year and is living a good life now. The family has dozens of acres of fertile land, endless food, and dozens of taels of silver in his pocket.
Eat three meals a day with an open stomach. Eating meat is not a luxury. The meat is cheap there, and you can have a meal every few days.
The eldest son lived a good life, and Old Man Zhao quickly sent the second son away as well. As for keeping his son by his side to provide for him in old age, it didn't matter. As long as his son lived a good life, it didn't matter if he grew old.
If it weren't for his old age, Old Man Zhao would have planned to immigrate with him.
"I know, I know!"
Zhao Er replied absently. At this moment, his mind was already looking forward to the outside world and life after immigration. How could he still have the heart to listen to his parents nagging here.
"Son, now that you are out of town, you have to do your duty. Be an honest person and don't do anything illegal or criminal."
"I heard that there is a lot of land over there. As long as you work hard, it is not difficult for every household to have dozens of acres of fertile land. People should work more hard, so that they can live a good life. If they have fields and food, they will not have to worry about food.
Already."
"I know, I know~"
"After arriving in Black Earth Province, remember to write a letter back. Just like Li Da and Li Er, send it to the Lin Family Salt Shop in the town. I will go to the town regularly to visit. If I don't know how to write, I will find someone who can write.
Help me write it."
"I know, I know~"
"..."
People who are about to leave here to emigrate are constantly saying goodbye to their relatives. The women are crying, and the young people are looking forward to the outside world and the happy life after immigration.
"Almost, almost."
"We have to set off quickly. Start early and get to the county seat early. Otherwise, if you are late, you will be in a lot of trouble."
At this time, no one knew who shouted, and the crying suddenly became louder. Many people were reluctant to leave, but they could only watch their children follow the team towards the outside of the mountain.
"Let's go, let's go!"
With the sound of the sound, hundreds of young people bid farewell to their parents and joined the family. Carrying their luggage and their longing and yearning for future life, they still walked out of the mountains of life in this era resolutely.
The mountain road was very long and difficult to walk. The queue of hundreds of people kept stretching and gradually disappeared from sight. People stood on high places and kept looking around. Some people even kept walking to see each other off, one section at a time and another section at a time.
"Go back, go back!"
"Don't give it away, don't give it away!"
Such voices kept ringing. Looking back at Shangping Village, with the departure of many young people, the entire Shangping Village seemed to have suddenly become extremely deserted.
