Chapter 298 Chapter 297

The location of the ancestral grave is quite out of the way for the village, and it took nearly half an hour to walk around a big circle from the back mountain.

What surprised Qi Baoer was that it was not empty, but there were already more than [-] graves, all of which were 'fresh and warm'.

The front is crying, the back is crying, the scene is too sad, it seems that the tiny creatures in the air are infected with sadness.

No matter how cold-blooded Qi Baoer was, she was somewhat infected and couldn't cry, but she didn't have the nerve to ask about the new grave bag at this time.

Her gaze wandered around everyone, tsk tsk, everyone was crying sincerely, but she was more sensitive to people's emotions, so it was easy to find out that the only ones who were really sad here were those in the old man's house. several.

As for father and son, her grandfather and her father, one face is more sad than the other, but their real emotions are calmer than the other.

Alas, the little golden man has to prepare two at once.

But Qi Kang'an's face was always dark when he went down the mountain, really dark.

Ye Sanni glanced back, raised her elbows and begged Kang'an to persuade her, "Don't be angry, it will be better in the future."

After puffing out his cheeks, Qi Kang'an let out a long sigh, and also replied in a subdued voice: "I'm not angry, it's just my heart responds."

Qi Bao'er was hugged by the silly father and lay on his shoulder and looked back. She was naturally cold and couldn't synchronize her thoughts with the silly father, but this time she quite understood what the silly father thought.

why?
Because at the tail of their descending team, more than [-] members of the old man's third-bedroom family were also descending the mountain.

Although the old man's third house has no family members, and there is only one family member left, let alone two or three generations, the old man still lives in the big house all the time, and he will indeed become emotionally alienated.

But for this last journey, even if you put on a show, Dafang and Qi Kaishan, who are in their seventies, are still kneeling in front of the grave.

How should I put it, regardless of how Sanfang reacted to the old man, the whole village gave the old man enough honor, but because of Sanfang, this honor was discounted.

This is not a complaint against the old man, but a lack of appreciation for the whole village.

The old man Qi, who walked slightly ahead, also heard the conversation between the couple, but he didn't say anything, he just turned his head and glanced behind, then walked forward in silence.

The juniors didn't know about it, and it was the old man's own fault.

However, death is like a lamp being extinguished, and the past is also quietly dissipated with the passing of the old man. Those who are alive should look forward.

It's just that no matter how much the old man prayed to persuade himself, the discomfort in his heart didn't decrease at all.

The death of the old man made the atmosphere in the village dull for a while, but as old man Qi said, the living should look forward.

Even Qi Kaishan, because of the responsibility he was carrying, he recovered after a few days. Although he looked a lot haggard, his figure still stood firm in the village.
-
Early this morning, Qijia Village was bustling before dawn.

Because today is the market day in Jiuchang Town once a month.

Yes, in a place so close to the capital, there is also such a down-to-earth large-scale trading event as Ganji.

Jiuchang Town, oh no, it should be that all the counties and towns that belong to Yong'an City enjoy the preferential treatment of free tax on the tenth day of October.

The management of Yong'an City is relatively strict. Except for the shops opened on the street, there will be several bazaars. Except for the bazaars and shops, no other places are allowed to conduct any transactions. It is said that it is for the appearance and image of the city.

As for the markets and shops...the shops, don't mention it, you must either rent or buy.The same is true in the market, and each vendor has to pay a stall fee.

The market day means that the market can set up stalls for free on this day.

Regardless of how close it is to the capital, there are many nobles and rich people in Yong'an City, but here, there are also many poor people. As for the surrounding villages and towns, some places do not eat as well as the people in Qijia Village who are now living on relief food.

The booth fee is just ten or twenty yuan, which is worth several catties of white flour. If you want to replace it with wheat bran, how can you be willing to take a sack home with you?
Therefore, the things that people in the nearby villages can keep for a long time are stored for a month and waited for the tenth day of the lunar new year to move to the town to sell.

Qi Baoer was carried on the road by Qi Kangan.

There are three ox carts in the village, all of which belong to the village, but there are so many people going to Jiuchang Town today, almost every household has at least one or two, the three ox carts are not enough at all, and the men are not good with women and children. squeeze.

"Brother An, do you think I can sell this?" Xie Bingrong walked beside Qi Kang'an carrying a load.

People throw stones to ask for directions, but Xie Bingrong threw him into the coffin, which really drove him into the 'inside'.

After the old man was buried, Li Zheng's family and Xie's family sat down to discuss, and the final result was that Li Zheng's family returned a high-quality coffin of the same value to Xie's family.

Xie Bingrong is a virtuous grandson, and the old man had an accident in the middle of the night, he was afraid that if something happened to the old man...
So Xie's family is no different from other people in the village, just as poor.

There are old and young in his family, and the whole family is supported by Xie Bingrong.

Coincidentally, the land of Xie's family was bought next door to Qi Kang'an's family. Qi Kang'an went to work on the land several times and watched Xie's children pull weeds and stuff them into their mouths from hunger.

Feeling really upset, I asked him to dig some yams on the mountain and eat them back.

Xie Bingrong is a smart person. If the yam can be eaten, it can be used as food. After he dug it back, the cheba cheba was dried in the sun. He went to the market to see if he could exchange it for some money.

There are old and young families, and seeing that winter is about to enter, they are afraid that they will get sick, and it panics without money in hand.

Qi Kang'an glanced at his two big sacks, the front and the back, and said uncertainly: "We know we can eat it, but we're not sure whether others know it. You can only try it. It's good if you can sell it. No, it’s a big deal to pick it up and eat it by yourself.”

This is also food storage.

When Xie Bingrong heard the same thing, his uneasy heart subsided, and a smile appeared on his face, "Listen to Brother An, I'll try it first, if it really sells, our villagers will have another income."

Look at what this said, how beautiful it is!
Qi Kang'an felt at ease, and the men who walked with them looked at Xie Bingrong with more friendliness.

Gao Dayou said with a smile: "If it can be sold, we have a lot of yams in our back mountains, and many people still have some in their hands. If they sell them for food or other things, this year will be better."

Although the big guy has a lot more knowledge than before, his vision is still limited, and his expectations for the future life are still not much. He only needs to have food, housing and stability, and the most hope is not to be hungry anymore.

So when Gao Da said this, everyone had a little more expectation for Xie Bingrong's two sacks.

Qijia Village has been abandoned for 20 years. It is not without benefits. At least the resources in the back mountain are very rich. To put it bluntly, there is no relief food from the imperial court. As long as you work hard and have the back mountain, the people in Qijia Village will be hungry Immortal.
