There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 17 Two Ways

Everyone in the village knew the news of the chaos in the city. Now that the village chief told the heads of every household to go to his place, he must be talking about it.

This is a major event that involves the fate of a family, and every family brings one or two more people over.

But all of them took their eldest son and grandson with them, and none of them took their dolls.

So when Qi Zheng showed up with his fourth son and little granddaughter, the three of them instantly became the focus of the scene.

"Boss Qi, why did you bring such a milk baby here?"

"That's right, what else can a milk doll do!"

There was more or less disgust on everyone's face.

Qi Zheng was not angry, instead he replied with a smile: "I rarely bring my granddaughter with me. If you are jealous, there is still time to go back and bring the baby back home."

"Hey, you old man, who would bring a baby when talking about big things?"

Someone immediately refuted in displeasure.

The village as a whole is still very harmonious, but there are always times when it is not so harmonious.

Qi Zheng snorted, but did not argue with the other party.

It just so happened that the village head came out of the house at this moment. When everyone saw the village head, they all shut up tacitly, looked at him in unison, and waited for him to speak.

The village chief cleared his throat, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but he let out a long sigh first.

With his sigh, everyone's hearts instantly rose to their throats.

Someone with a bad temper hurriedly asked: "Village chief, the city is in chaos, what should we do now? You should give me a way to make everyone feel at ease."

As soon as this remark came out, the scene instantly became lively, and they all urged the village chief to show his attitude.

"Don't make any noise, listen to the village chief!"

There were also loud calls to be quiet.

The village chief sighed again, and he looked a little older than usual, especially his eyes were particularly lifeless.

"Everyone knows the news of the chaos in the city. I originally planned to discuss with the elders in the village what to do, but I thought about it. This is a matter for the whole village. Why don't you let everyone come over?" .”

The village chief coughed twice, and said again: "If the city is really in chaos, we may not be able to live in peace here. I thought, if there is a place in the village where we can go to, we should hurry up! If there is food, even if you flee there, you won’t be blindsided.”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

Someone asked: "Village chief, where are you going? Who in our village can have relatives from big families?"

"Yeah, village chief, don't talk about it. Even if there are people who can go to them, they are still a minority. What should we do with so many people who have nowhere to go to?"

Yongping Village is poor, and girls from outside are unwilling to marry in, but in order to marry the younger generations in the village, most of them solve this problem by exchanging relatives.

But it's not a family-to-family exchange.

The matchmaker is smart, so she said that she arranged for a girl to marry in a village, and then arranged for another girl to marry in.

To put it bluntly, it is a marriage exchange between villages.

This has resulted in only a few villages with relatives in each household, and the specific number is determined according to the number of girls in the family.

The village chief wiped his face and said, "If there is really nowhere to go, then we have two choices."

"Or, let's hide in the mountains together, and come back when the mountain is peaceful."

"Either..."

The second way, the village chief tried several times but didn't say anything.

No one interrupted, simply because he really couldn't come up with a second option.

If he didn't say anything, everyone didn't understand, and they asked anxiously one by one.

In the end, Qi Zheng waved his hands and said loudly, "Don't start arguing."

The villagers became quiet, and Qi Zheng looked at the village chief: "Village chief, just tell me directly! What do you think, whether it works or not, you have to tell the big guys to know, and then we can discuss and come up with a solution .”

The village chief glanced at Qi Zheng gratefully, as if mustering up a lot of courage, he said loudly: "The second way is to flee from famine."

"What? Fleeing from famine?"

Everyone fried the pot again.

They had only heard of fleeing from famine before, and had seen people fleeing from famine to their village, but it was the first time that they were allowed to flee from famine.

Because they lived far away, the two people who just ran over heard this at the gate of the village chief's house, and immediately their legs went limp, and they knelt down on the ground.

"Chen Laoer and Zhang Laosan are here!"

The people standing near the gate noticed the figure at the gate and immediately greeted him loudly.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and looked towards the gate in unison.

I saw two people kneeling on the ground at the door.

A 50-year-old age, 40 [-]-year-old appearance.

Chen Erqiao and Zhang Sanniu, these two people came to Yongping Village when they fled famine.

With them are two families.

But I heard from them that because the journey to escape from the famine was too difficult, they were the only ones left in the end.

When they came to Yongping Village, the two big men had only one breath left, and the family members were so hungry that they passed out.

If it weren't for the kind people in Yongping Village who gave them a bowl of rice soup, the grass on the family's grave would be as tall as an elder.

These two families later became Yongping Village, and fell penniless in Yongping Village. Although the villagers gave them two-legged thatched huts at the foot of the mountain, they had no money to buy land, so the two families All these years, I have been relying on odd jobs and occasional hunting in the mountains to make ends meet.

The past few years have been good and there is a lot of work in the fields, so the two families have been busy working to make money, and they haven't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time.

There is no prey and no need to sell food, which makes the two families know nothing about the things in the city.

"Second Chen, third brother Zhang, come in quickly."

Someone hurriedly greeted the two into the yard to talk.

They don't want to flee the famine, so I want these two people to talk about the suffering of fleeing the famine again, and see if the village chief can take back his words about fleeing the famine.

Qi Zheng took Qi Manman from Quan Quanjin's arms: "Fourth brother, help them up."

When it comes to fleeing famine, Qi Zheng's acceptance is a little higher than that of everyone present.

There's no way, my own Man Bao'er just mentioned it yesterday.

Qi Quanjin immediately got out of the crowd, and lifted the two people who were kneeling on the ground one by one with each hand.

At this time, there were other young people in the village who realized it, and hurried over to help.

In this way, Chen Erqiao and Zhang Sanniu became one person and walked forward with arms crossed by two people.

The village chief also asked the family to bring two small wooden stools for the two to sit on.

It wasn't until he sat on the stool that Chen Erqiao came back to his senses, looked at the village chief with red eyes, and asked with a sob: "Village chief, what, why are you running away from famine? Isn't the year very good?"

The village chief sighed, and had no choice but to tell the two of them the news of the chaos in the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Erqiao didn't stand up, rolled his eyes white, and passed out directly.
