The old people just sat and chatted like this. It was only early in the morning and there was nothing to do now. It was not until everyone called to go home for dinner that the morning gathering was broken up.
But in the evening, everyone gathered again at the entrance of the village, looking at the road out of the mountain, as if expecting someone to come to the mountain.
Or maybe you are yearning for the world beyond the mountains, thinking about your children's life outside the mountains.
"Alas~"
"It's gone, it's gone, go back to sleep."
The sky gradually darkened, the sun slowly set on the top of the mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated half of the sky red. Between the mountains, water vapor gradually rose, the cold wind howled, and another day was about to pass.
Everyone was preparing to get up and go home to have dinner and get ready for bed.
At this time someone shouted: "It seems like someone is coming!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic. Looking towards the winding and rugged road in the mountains, they seemed to vaguely see a figure walking towards Shangping Village.
"Really, I don't know who it is."
Everyone immediately became energetic and were not in a hurry to go back. They looked at it carefully.
Since the people in this mountain gradually migrated out, there have been even fewer people in this mountain. No one has come back to this mountain all year round. Even the foot traders from the past will not come because there is no one.
No business can be done.
Now that someone is here, everyone naturally gets excited and wants to see who it is.
On the mountain path, Li Da became more and more excited. He had immigrated for several years, and this time he finally returned to the place where he grew up.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Shangping Village, Li Da's steps speeded up unconsciously.
He came back this time to take his parents to live in Black Earth Province.
The brothers all immigrated to Black Earth Province, leaving only his parents in the mountain village. He was really worried. After some discussion, the brothers finally decided to send someone back to pick up their parents.
In this way, the whole family will be here in Black Soil Province, which will make it easier for them to get together and take care of their parents more conveniently.
People in the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to filial piety. Their parents were not traveling far away, but due to the pressure of life, since everyone immigrated, these parents could not be left alone.
The brothers were all out and their parents were at home. They didn't know about the illness or anything, and there was no one to take care of them. I really couldn't rest assured, so this time, I had to take my parents with me to Black Earth Province no matter what.
For this reason, Li Da also had to sell most of the cattle, sheep and pigs in his farm, leaving only some seeds. This way, his wife would not be so tired, and he could go back to his hometown to pick up his parents.
.
Looking at the mountain road in front of me, everything is consistent with what I remember, except that the mountain road seems to have become more difficult to walk, and there are too many weeds.
After turning a corner, Shangping Village suddenly appeared in sight. There seemed to be some people standing at the entrance of the village.
"Hey~"
"I'm back!"
Li Da immediately couldn't help shouting excitedly.
The sound was very loud, echoing continuously among the mountains, and soon reached Shangping Village.
"Ah~"
"This seems to be the boss's voice."
When Carpenter Li heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, because the voice sounded so familiar. After Li Da immigrated, he thought about his son countless days and nights, recalling Li Da in his mind.
Big everything.
Now when he suddenly heard Li Da's voice, his whole body seemed unbelievable.
"It seems to be Li Da's voice!"
Uncle Chen next to him also nodded when he heard this.
"It looks like it's really Li Da!"
Someone with sharp eyes could see more clearly and said quickly.
"I'm back, I'm back!"
At this time, another voice came over, this time it was clearer, and everyone could hear it clearly.
"It's really Li Da!"
"Your boss is back!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.
Everyone immigrated, but Li Da was the first to come back to the mountain. Immediately, everyone looked eagerly at the mountain road, seeing Li Da becoming more and more clear.
As for Carpenter Li, he was even more excited and ran out.
"Boss~"
Carpenter Li also shouted excitedly.
"Dad! Dad!"
Li Da was even more excited and started running.
Soon, Li Da and Li Carpenter met.
"You're back!"
Carpenter Li looked at his son and burst into tears with excitement.
Although I used to yell at and scold my son when I was at home, but now that I saw him again after a few years, I was extremely excited.
Parents all over the world are the same. In the past few years since Li Da immigrated, Carpenter Li has been thinking about his children every day.
"Dad! Dad!"
Li Da was also very excited. He came to Carpenter Li and looked at his father.
He has aged a lot, much older than before. It has only been six years. The wrinkles on his face, the white hair on his head, and his curvy body seem to have aged overnight.
.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
Carpenter Li nodded happily and looked at his son.
He is much stronger, and he is also well-dressed, well-dressed, and has a rosy complexion. One look at him shows that he is really living a good life outside.
"Boss~"
At this time, Li Da's mother also ran over excitedly after receiving the news. When she saw Li Da, she was a little unbelievable.
"Mother! Mother!"
Li Da suddenly became even more excited and burst into tears.
My mother has also aged a lot, a lot, and is a little different from what she remembers.
"Hmm~"
Carpenter Li's mother-in-law also shed tears of joy.
I originally thought that I might never see my son again in this life, but who knew that Li Da was back? Looking at Li Da carefully, he was really good. He looked different from the people in the mountains. His clothes were so beautiful.
Very good.
"Go, go, go home, go home!"
Carpenter Li was very happy, really very happy, that his son was back, that his son was back.
The smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
The family of three walked towards the village. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the remaining elderly people in the village also gathered around them.
"Li Da, why are you back?"
"How are our children doing here in Black Earth Province? Have you seen them?"
"Have you seen my grandson? How is he doing now?"
Everyone was talking to each other and asking questions. Everyone was very excited because Li Da was the first to come back from Black Earth Province. Everyone wanted to ask Li Da if he had seen his children or grandchildren. Ask him.
How are you all doing outside?
"I missed my parents so I came back to see them."
"I've seen Chen Da's family. I even went to their house for a drink in March. You Chen Da are so great now. There are thousands of acres of fertile land in your home. When you look at it, it's all you."
Where is my family’s field?”
"You Wang Da are also very powerful. You have already taken two concubines and given birth to seven or eight children."
Li Da also smiled and talked to everyone about things outside, and also talked about the villagers he met outside.
"Are you far away?"
"It's not far, just over 300 miles away. You can get there in a short time by car."
"More than 300 miles is not far."
"The main reason is that there are cars outside, so it's very convenient to travel, so we often move around. Last month, Tao Laoer came to my house for a drink. He is also very powerful now. He has a lot of sheep and eats mutton every day.
I can’t finish it.”
Everyone gathered around Li Da and asked questions. They kept chatting until sunset and the sky darkened. Then everyone slowly dispersed, preparing to ask Li Da again tomorrow about their children outside.
Condition.
In Carpenter Li's house, a family of three were sitting at the dining table, chatting while eating.
"The second son's family now has tens of thousands of acres of fields, and several machines. They also have a flour mill that grinds flour. The flour they grind is fine and white."
"The third daughter-in-law just gave birth to a fat boy last month. Now she has three babies. I even went to see it. It's still carved exactly like the third child."
"The fourth child is also raising pigs now, and there are already hundreds of them."
Li Da told his parents in detail about the situation of his brothers outside.
"During the holidays, we get together whenever we have the chance. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, my second brother called everyone over. It was really lively."
"The adults sit at one table, but the children need two tables to sit down."
"They all miss you too, and they are asking you two to go to Black Earth Province together. With all of you, our whole family is here in Black Earth Province."
"Go to Black Earth Province too?"
When Li Carpenter heard this, he immediately fell silent. He had already guessed the reason why his son came back this time. He must have been worried about himself. He came back to pick him up and take him outside.
"Yes, I'm coming back to pick you up this time."
"You two are at home, and our brothers are thousands of miles away and can't take care of you at all. We are really worried, so after some discussion, the brothers decided to take you to Black Earth Province together."
"It's not just you, my parents-in-law are also going to lend it out together this time. My brother-in-law Lu Dadu has already told me that he must take it out and keep it in this mountain. I'm really worried."
"Let's all go out together. The transportation is now more convenient. There are cars and trains everywhere. It won't be too tiring to go to Black Earth Province, and the speed is much faster than before. 20 days is enough."
Li Da nodded and also stated the purpose of his return this time. He was here to pick up his parents and parents-in-law, so the brothers were really worried about staying at home.
