Chapter 113 Packing things
As soon as Su He finished speaking, everyone in the room started moving.
The only people sitting in the room were the village chief and two old men. Mu Tou pulled Miaomiao forward.
"Sister, if our family needs to move anything, I'll go."
Su He did not refuse. "Take Liu Niang and Liu Bai to pack the luggage. You don't have to pack my sister's room. You pack your things first, and then help my sister pack. One car for food, and one for luggage."
Mu Tou nodded seriously and took Miaomiao out.
Wang Zhun stepped forward and said, "Hehua, are you going to move away?"
"not us."
Su He simply repeated the whole process.
"All the villagers in our village trust the village chief. Village chief, what do you think?"
Wang Zhun looked at Su He with admiration, the young are really formidable.
"Lotus, if you were a man, you would have a bright future."
"Leave the affairs of Willow Village to me. I will immediately arrange a meeting to notify everyone. All of us will follow you."
After Wang Zhun finished speaking, he ran out to attend a meeting with the villagers. Now they had to race against time to dig sweet potatoes.
"Grandpa, please loosen the cloth from little grandpa's mouth."
Su He found a seat nearby and sat down, and she also took the time to rest.
Grandpa glanced at his brother with disdain, "It's okay, your little grandpa doesn't need to use his mouth."
"Lotus, can all three of our villages go to that pier?"
My grandfather knew a little more than others. He knew that the combined population of the three villages was also astonishing. Could it be successful if so many people walked for a month?
Su He did not hide the truth from her grandfather.
"I estimate that a group of people will settle down in Jinyang City. If they are willing, I will certainly not stop them. This way, the number of people will be reduced. We will buy the things we need in Jinyang City and leave quickly. It is still relatively peaceful now. We will take the official road and try to spend the New Year at Lingshui Wharf."
"After the New Year, we can continue our journey. Grandpa, I remember you said that my great-grandfather's hometown is in the south? Is it Guangyuan County?"
"Yes, Guangyuan County in Yunhe Prefecture. It's very rich and has a humid climate. My father told me that you can still see people with green eyes there."
Su He smiled slightly, "I have agreed with Master Chen that we can settle in Yunhezhou. Since our hometown is Guangyuan County, let's go there."
Grandpa was very excited, "Didn't you say we would settle down at Lingshui Wharf?"
Su He signaled grandpa to lower his voice, "Grandpa, let's keep this a secret for now. Yunhe is too far away, so only our Wang family can go. We can take the others to Lingshui."
"Little Grandpa, for now, only the three of us know about this, so you must keep it a secret."
The little grandfather nodded excitedly and murmured something, but no one knew what he was saying.
"Aunt Lotus, there are too many things at home. The food can fill several carts. What should we do?"
Tietou came first. Wang Fugui went to another village, and Wang Bin went to the county. He and his grandmother had to take care of the family affairs.
"I have dried sweet potatoes and dried meat. Everyone can exchange sweet potatoes for a few dozen kilograms. Everyone needs to have enough food in the next two days, so let's kill all the chickens and eat them. I suggest selling the extra fresh sweet potatoes to Lord Chen, and we can use the silver to make some purchases on the road."
Su He slapped her head, she almost forgot such an important thing.
"Tietou, go tell your grandmother and the others that each family will get 200 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes. Then go find the village chief and ask the people in Liushu Village to exchange for 20 to 30 kilograms for emergency use. When we get to Jinyang City, everyone can do the shopping on their own."
After Su He finished speaking, he called Liu Bai and asked him to find two people to take out the dried sweet potatoes from the cellar.
For a while, everyone was busy.
Wang Sheng came over with a sweaty head and a stone in his arms, "Hehua, those sweet potatoes at home..."
"Exchange with me. I have both dried sweet potatoes and dried meat. You can keep three or four months' worth of food, and sell the rest of the sweet potatoes to Master Chen."
Wang Sheng was so happy that he immediately wanted to rush to Liu Bai to exchange for the dried meat, but Xiao Shitou suddenly burst into tears.
"Son, Daddy can't play with you now, don't cry, your daddy is busy, don't cry."
Wang Sheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He looked up and saw Su He, and stretched out his hand to hand it over.
"Lotus, Shitou likes you the most, please help me hold you, I'm going to take the dried meat home first, Wen Niang is cleaning the house, she can't make it alone."
Su He looked at the stone in his arms in confusion, "Where are my uncle and aunt?"
"My father is a carpenter. He thought that he was leaving soon, so he dismantled the door panels at home to make a cart. He is busy with some uncles in the village now. My mother is killing chickens. Oh, I will come to your place to get some water later. We need to boil water at home."
Wang Sheng hurriedly picked up two large bags of dried meat and dried sweet potatoes and left.
Little Shitou is already ten months old, and he utters some baby talk from time to time. Now he is smiling happily at Aunt Lotus, "Giggle, giggle, ba ba ba du du du du."
Su He was sprayed with saliva all over his face, "Little Stone, your parents are busy. You are under my care now. You must be obedient, understand?"
When Little Shitou heard Su He talking to him seriously, he was amused and started twisting his body wildly. Su He was caught off guard and almost hugged him. This frightened Su He so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. Drought didn't scare her, but she didn't expect to fall into this bad boy's hands.
"Wang Ruichun, be serious!"
The aunt and niece talk at cross purposes, but they are quite harmonious.
Wang Fugui had already arrived at Sanshi Village by this time. It was already sunset, and Su Bingyi's family was about to have dinner. They heard a knock on the door and were surprised.
After a while, Su Yumin brought the dusty Wang Fugui over.
"Village Chief, He Hua asked me to tell you that we are preparing to relocate."
ten minutes later.
"Quick, Yumin, ring the gong and notify the villagers to call for a meeting. Dig up the sweet potatoes in the fields immediately, take out all the carts in the village, and make them if there are none. Remove the door panels from the houses. I will wait at the entrance of the village for an hour. Those who don't come don't have to follow me the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Wu had no appetite either. "Xiangzhi, tell all the men in the family to get out our three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes. Then have Yuanting and Yuancheng go to the county overnight to tell the second and third sons to pack up their belongings and hurry home. When Yuanting comes back, go to your parents' home and Fenfen's parents' home and tell them about the situation. If they are willing, they can go together. If not, tell them where we are going. We can meet again in the future."
"Got it, mother."
Yang Xiangzhi wiped the tears from her face and hurried to move the food.
After a while, the whole Sanshi Village was in commotion.
Su Bingzhong's family also knew that the whole village was going to relocate. "Dad, do you want to go together?"
The third brother, Su Youliang, is smart and wants to go with everyone.
"Humph, these people are all idiots. What will happen to our fields if they leave? Let them go. The water in the well is enough for us to irrigate the fields next year. The New Year will be in two months. I don't want to mess with them."
Su Bingzhong expressed disdain in words, but secretly he had a sinister idea. He planned to wait until everyone left and then go to the other person's house to plunder.
Su Dacheng always followed his father. "Dad is right. People are worthless when they leave their hometown. Third brother, you are crazy. Do you want to run away and become a beggar?"
Su Youliang suddenly became furious, and the quarrel about dividing the family property started again in the room.
He Nian'er held Jiaojiao's hand and pretended to be afraid, hiding behind Su Decai. She was thinking about what Su He had asked someone to bring. Should she divorce or continue to stay in this house with the sweet potatoes and 20 taels of silver?
The situation is the same in Dahe Village on the other side. The people's hearts are not so united. On the one hand, there are many people from wealthy families. After hearing the news, they plan to set off to Jinyang City to buy houses. Others are reluctant to leave their fields and want to stay.
The people in the two villages have their own thoughts.
