Chapter 4 Running away
"You have to tell your grandmother about this." Although Zhou Huiniang felt sad for her daughter's experience, but the days were moving forward, and natural disasters happened frequently, so she didn't have extra time to grieve.

Xia Dashan nodded: "I'll go and tell my mother, you give Huai'er some more first." Xia Dashan realized that he still didn't know his grandson's name.

Seeing her father staring at her, Xia Huai hurriedly pushed Rui Geer over: "His name is Shen Xirui, and he is usually called Rui Geer. Rui Geer, go get close to your grandfather and grandma."

Ruige'er was not afraid of life, so he immediately stretched out his arms towards Xia Dashan.

Zhou Huiniang on the side was a bit apprehensive: "Brother Rui dislikes grandma?"

Rui Ge'er's face flushed immediately, and he shook his head mutteringly: "No, it's not."

Zhou Huiniang actually looks very approachable and gentle.The blame is that she was crying too hard just now, making Rui Ge'er, who had never seen such a wonderful face change, feel amazed and a little scared at the same time.

Xia Dashan smiled heartily, and patted Ruige'er's thin shoulder with his big hand: "Ruigeer, go find your grandmother, she will give you something delicious later!" After speaking, Xia Dashan walked out the door.

Mrs. Feng had been seeing old doctor Zhang off for a while, and he went to see what was going on.

After Xia Dashan came out of the yard, Zhou Huiniang turned around and took out a handful of peanuts from a pile of neat grain packages, followed by a handful of oily fruits.

"Come on, Huai'er, Ruige'er, are you starving? Our house has collapsed, and we really can't cook. Let's deal with it first."

Xia Huai took it carefully, first grabbed some peanuts for Rui Geer, and wrapped the rest in a handkerchief.As for the oily fruit, it's greasy and can't hold it.

Smelling the aroma of oily fruit, Xia Huai's stomach twitched violently.

"Huai'er?" Zhou Huiniang looked over nervously: "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to ask old doctor Zhang to come again?"

Seeing Zhou Huiniang getting up to leave, Xia Huai clutched her stomach and shook her head quickly: "Mother, I'm fine." She smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm a little hungry."

Aren't you hungry? She and Rui Ge'er hadn't eaten or drank for about a day and a half, and they had persisted until now thanks to their faith.If it hadn't been stimulated by the aroma of oily fruit, I'm afraid she wouldn't be aware of her hunger for a while!
Thinking of this, Xia Huai hurriedly said to her son: "Brother Rui, don't eat this oily fruit. We have been hungry for a long time. If we eat greasy food suddenly, it may be bad for our stomach."

Although Rui Geer was greedy for oily fruits, he nodded obediently, and peeled the peanuts with his hands to fill his mouth.

"Sister Zhou."

Zhou Huiniang turned her head: "Oh, it's Shuyu's mother! Why are you here now?"

Liu Qingyun smiled, holding a bowl in his hand: "I heard that Xiaohuai is back, no, it just so happened that my family cooked porridge and brought a bowl."

"Oh, how did this happen?" Although Zhou Huiniang said this, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She quickly took the bowl in Liu Qingyun's hand, turned her head and handed it to Xia Huai: "Huai'er, you and Rui Brother hurry up and eat some cushions."

Xia Huai was not polite, and only thanked Liu Qingyun.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, are you planning to leave today?" Liu Qingyun looked around and found that the old Xia's family was busy, so she asked curiously.

"Yeah, my mother said that it's not good to look at the sky, and I'm afraid it will shake again."

It's not that we can't wait until the end to rebuild, but with so many houses, even if the family has savings, they can't rebuild them all at once.Moreover, what should we do if the earthquake starts after the rebuilding starts?
The county lord didn't take any measures to relieve the disaster. No matter how unhappy the people are, they can't just wait for death!
So, last night, they discussed it as a family and had to leave!

Hearing this, Liu Qingyun's face was thoughtful, and she nodded after a long time: "That's right, I'll go back and discuss it with my father, I'll see if we can go together"

Zhou Huiniang nodded: "I think so, this Xiushui Village, I can't stay here any longer!"

Sending Liu Qingyun away, Xia Dashan and Mrs. Feng happened to come back.

Granny Feng's complexion was not very good. When she looked at Xia Huai, her emotions were very complicated.

There are worries, emotions, and entanglements, but more of them are distressed.

"Grandmother." Xia Huai put down the porridge bowl, bent down to pick up Rui Ge'er, and talked to Granny Feng.

"Girl Huai, you have suffered." A trace of remorse flashed across Mrs. Feng's always serious face. Although it was fleeting, Xia Huai could clearly see it.

It seems that Yuanshen's family is not difficult to get along with.If all of them are patriarchal, I'm afraid she will only be kicked out!
"Dashan, go and call Dazhuang, you two go to the town and call Xia Fang and Xia Yu back, and then go and inform Xia Mian's family to see if they are willing to go together."

"Hey!"

After Da Shan and Da Zhuang walked towards the town, Mrs. Feng urged the whole family to load their luggage into the car.

I only have time to make one more cart, and the three carts and one mule cart at home are fully loaded.

Don’t think that family members will be lucky enough to sit on it, as long as they can walk, no one wants to be pushed or pulled, let alone take a car, and they can’t do without luggage in their hands!
The country people are frugal, although Mrs. Feng said that it is good to only take the important ones, but who is willing to throw away such things?Even if it is tied to your body, you have to take it away!
Zhou Huiniang was pulling Xia Huai and talking small things when she suddenly heard:
"Aunt Zhou"

She turned her head and raised her eyebrows: "Ah! Isn't this Shuyu? What's wrong?" Liu Qingyun just left not long ago, why did she ask her daughter to come over so soon?
Wang Shuyu's face was a little hesitant, and she leaned over and whispered: "Auntie, my mother said."

"What?" Zhou Huiniang yelled out in fright, and found that Wu Xiaorong and Liu Qiuhe were looking at her suspiciously. She quickly covered her mouth and pulled Wang Shuyu to make sure in a low voice: "Are you sure? You really saw the village head's family packing their luggage?"

Wang Shuyu nodded firmly: "Sure, the stone can be seen very clearly. He originally went to dig out the bird's nest from the tree, but he didn't expect to see it."

Shi Shi is her younger brother, who is only 12 years old this year.

When Zhou Huiniang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but darken.

A few days ago, if we wanted to say who jumped the highest, it was designated as the village head's family.The village head said without shame that he insisted on staying. It's only been a few days?Are you going to run away behind the back of the villagers?

Xiushui Village is different from other villages. This village is a hodgepodge. A few decades ago, there were only a few families.Later, people who fled famine came to live here, and it gradually expanded into a village.

All kinds of surnames are mixed together, and no one obeys anyone's discipline.In the end, it was determined that Village Chief Zhang was because his family had a deep foundation and was rich.

But no matter what, it is impossible to be impartial after all without the same surname.

What makes Zhou Huiniang feel disgusted is that the village head Zhang clearly and firmly threatened not to leave Xiushui Village, and now he backtracks, which is not a thing!
In addition to this, there is another reason.

Her eldest son Xia Fang was originally engaged to the village chief's daughter Zhang Mengwei, but for Xia Fang's future, Zhou Huiniang and the village chief discussed getting married two years later, who would have thought that Zhang Mengwei was not a safe man!

On the surface, Zhang Mengwei didn't dislike this marriage, but secretly she had an affair with the rich man in the town, the only son of the Ma family, Ma Tiancai.It was only after the incident was revealed that she divorced his family, turned around and carried her into the town, where she became Ma Tiancai's concubine!
