Chapter 20 Went to the county seat
Ye Xin drove to the Yao family in a BMW. During this time, the Yao family’s father-in-law, uncle and some children who could work all went to work!
In front of you is a large courtyard. Inside, there live two families, the elder brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law. They are not divided into separate families. Each person has three rooms, plus the rooms of the two elderly people.
There is also a married daughter who is ready to return to her parents' home at any time. The room, utility room, and kitchen where the family lives are still built in the Qing Dynasty, with sculptural roofs and beams.
There are several houses like this in their village, and other villagers’ houses also have courtyards!
Those without courtyards are already the poorest families in the village, and there are also orphaned elderly people.
Only mother-in-law is at home!
My uncle arrived and brought back the grandson they were longing for. This grandson made them pity him because he was weak and made them feel kind and loving every time they saw him!
The old lady’s feet are very nimble. She picked up a three-year-old baby without any burden at all!
“Oh, my grandson is here. He looks healthy and cute. Grandma gives me a hug. He is still too thin. I haven’t seen him for half a year and he hasn’t gained any weight!”
Ye Junluan was held fondly by a woman who had a vague image in his mind and was probably in her 50s.
The woman is not tall, but in this age where food is not always available, she is still round and round, with thick ears. This is a sign of longevity.
"Hello, Grandma!"
"Hey! My good grandson! My good grandson is so good, why is my grandson so polite?!"
Ye Junluan was beaten by me Grandma praised him. He only heard the tinkling sound in the space and felt happy in his heart. He even said hello to grandma sweetly and secretly kissed her on the cheek!
"Oh, my old face is dirty, be good, grandson, so good!"
Maybe people of this era are not used to kissing on the face, grandma Chen's old face was shy, and she was smiling!
Ye Junluan noticed that the equipment spirits in the space were constantly tinkling at this moment, and grandma gave it two or three likes!
When Ye Xinfa saw his son taking the initiative to kiss his mother-in-law, he felt sad. He turned around and went to find his uncle and father-in-law!
The two of them were found in a short time, and my aunt came back early!
After washing their hands, they all came to hug Ye Junluan, smiling!
Ye Xinfa originally wanted to send Jian Wu on his behalf to go with several relatives to find a mountain in the distance that would be a suitable place for them to escape and live in the future!
I have been thinking about it for a few days. Anyway, the valuable things at home have been put away for my son. There will not be many things that can be taken away by then, so there is no need to spend Jian Wu!
There was a voice in my heart that Jian Wu couldn't let Jian Wu know where they were going.
So I talked to the Yao family again and asked him to help send more people to build houses, and to buy grain and store grain there first, so as to find a way out for them!
The Yao family's father-in-law and uncle agreed and wanted to send someone to invite someone they trusted. It didn't have to be someone from the village. The most important thing was someone they could trust!
After they discussed this matter!
"Let me tell you, I brought my son out today and stopped by to see you. We will go to the county seat later!"
Ye Xinfa told me about going to the county seat.
"Why are you going to the county town? Where can I go with a baby? Why don't you leave your nephew here? You go and do things!"
The uncle's voice objected.
Others support this decision!
Only Ye Junluan does not want them to object. He has not been to the county seat here yet!
Looking at what her father meant, it seemed like he was taking her to hunt for treasure and collect food!
When Ye Xinfa saw the opposition from his father-in-law’s family, he could only use the same bad reason as before: "Zashu has just recovered a little bit of health. I also want the old doctor to take a pulse and confirm his physical condition!"
The Yao family...
Ye Xinfa once again mentioned that they must stock up on food.
The Yao family accepted this proposal and said they were already making preparations. Since the food was not too expensive, they would buy more!
When you have enough food, spend more money and buy more!
In the end, the Yao family was reluctant to give up, and their father and son got on the carriage and headed for the county seat.
Yaojia Village is very close to the county seat, about three or four miles away!
The carriage was not very stable on the dirt road. The wooden bench made by Ye Junluan hurt my buttocks and stepped on the county seat!
Ye Xinfa came out with enough cash this time, and took out the money and tickets from the post office, sent by his elder brother!
He wanted to buy some items that required votes from the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked again if there were any defective items that did not require votes, daily necessities, cloth! In a supply and marketing cooperative that I didn’t know, all these defects and other items were digested by insiders and people I knew!
I could only buy ten pounds of flour and ten pounds of rice.
I bought some sugar, brown sugar, fruit candy, white rabbit toffee!
I also bought a two-pound piece of pork belly from a pork seller!
I also bought pork bones for free, only two cents a pound!
Take the purchased items back to the carriage, ask your son to put them away, and then the father and son venture to the black market!
As the captain of a large village, Ye Xinfa should not have come to this place to take risks. If someone caught him and locked him up, his position as captain would be gone!
He is not stupid either. A friend he knows works in the black market. This time when he comes here, he only needs to go to his venue and buy his items!
Things bought on the black market are more expensive, but that is within the acceptable range!
It is almost time to harvest the grain, and the grain is not too expensive. So he found a friend and asked about the rice, which cost one yuan and a half kilogram, no tickets needed, and the flour, which cost one yuan, sixty-one kilograms, and no votes needed either!
Ye Xinfa put the carriage outside for others to see, and did not bring his son for others to see!
I stole the money and bought hundreds of kilograms of rice, hundreds of kilograms of flour, and several pieces of defective cloth!
I stopped today and asked people to move things to the carriage. His friend moved things to the carriage and saw a child sitting in the carriage!
"Is this your son?"
"Uncle" Ye Junluan saw this tall middle-aged man, he probably knew his father, he was so cute!
"Hey" the middle-aged man reacted. It was the first time he saw this doll. There was nothing there. He touched his pocket and took out a few pieces of White Rabbit toffee!
"Then, you are so good, I will reward you with White Rabbit toffee!"
Ye Junluan continued happily, White Rabbit toffee is a characteristic of this era, it has a rich milky flavor, three White Rabbit toffee are equivalent to a cup of milk , he is not short of milk at home, but he is short of sugar!
Not only will you get candy when you call uncle, but you will also get likes. This trip has made another profit!
Ye Xinfa laughed loudly. After loading the things into the car, he did not say much to the middle-aged man. This place is not suitable for staying for a long time!
I waved goodbye to my friends and drove away in a fast BMW. After such a big harvest, I should go back, otherwise it will be too late to get home!
Ye Junluan saw the carriage running on the street. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and there was only one street that was the main street!
They were in the black market just now, in the alley behind the county hospital!
Ye Junluan collected all the food in the carriage. Sitting in the carriage was a little boring, and he thought of the books on the bookshelf in the space!
I took a copy out to read!
His hand was lucky. He got a book of ancient Chinese characters. He was not very well-educated in his past and present lives. How could he understand these traditional Chinese characters?
I have no choice but to find a dictionary!
This dictionary also has a few sentences for English learning. They use Chinese characters to translate the general meaning and read them according to the pronunciation of the Chinese characters!
With a dictionary, I can look it up word by word. Reading like this is really hard!
Ye Junluan heard that his eldest sister and others do not learn simplified Chinese characters when they are studying now, but mostly traditional Chinese characters!
Looking at it, he wanted to fall asleep and put the book into the space. Could he have done nothing in his life?
After all, you have to make a career in your studies and other abilities, right?
Then he must learn some skills!
He is three years old and cannot go to school. The most important thing now is to stock up on supplies, which he cannot do as a child.
Thinking of the mountains, the mountains in the village actually have prey such as wild boars and hares.
“Da da da”
The carriage came to the town again, and the sunset at this time was shining on this ancient town!
Ye Xinfa stopped the carriage, and his carriage was stopped. The people who stopped their carriage were two young people, escorting two old people and a child.
“What are you doing?” Ye Xinfa asked vigilantly!
“Comrade, are you going to Qian Village? These two old men and one young man were sent to your brigade for reform!”
One of the young men had a serious face, and the two young men looked at them. It looks like escort, but actually it looks like protection!
Ye Xinfa frowned after hearing this. He didn't even receive the notification. What year is it now?
What good people, send them here for reform and study, just to let them torture people and increase their hatred!
I think so in my heart, but I can't say it in my mouth. After all, there are such people in the town!
"Get in the carriage and bring any luggage and the like up. Don't harass my son when you get in the carriage!"
"Okay, comrade!" The two young men stood upright. , like a little white poplar!
Ye Junluan became energetic when the carriage stopped, and he quietly looked out and saw two old people, who seemed to be in a sorry state. Maybe they were tired after a long journey in the carriage for too long!
Looks like an intellectual!
The two young men helped the two old men into the carriage, then carried the child into the carriage, and also loaded the luggage into the carriage, and they also got into the carriage!
At this time they were face to face, even looking at each other!
Ye Junluan first looked at the two young men and saw that there was no malice on them. It sounded like they were being escorted, maybe for protection!
There was no disrespect to the two old men. The child was very well-behaved, about five or six years old. He looked wary of the boys who were a few years younger than him. Maybe they were frightened by the situation they encountered!
