Daming Town Haiwang

Li Carpenter and his wife finally decided to follow their son to live in Heitu Province after a night of persuasion by their son.

The reason why I made up my mind was mainly for the sake of my children. All the children emigrated out. My old couple lived in this mountain and didn't know anything about their illness. When they left, no one would bury them.

Secondly, the old couple also miss their own children, and also want to see their grandsons and children. The four sons have a bunch of grandsons and granddaughters. I have not seen any of them. This is a must. .

So let's go, and go to live in Heitu Province together.

As for the fields and houses handed down from the ancestors, when it was time to leave, I felt very reluctant to part with them.

The next day, Carpenter Li got up very early, very early, and went to burn incense at his ancestral grave early.

Once I go to Heitu Province, I will definitely not come back in the future, and there is no way to move the ancestral grave. After burning incense this time, it is estimated that no one will come to burn incense. Maybe it will be covered by weeds in a few years. It was completely covered, and no one knew that there used to be a village with tombstones here.

Carpenter Li has been nagging and talking a lot, a lot, saying that he is not filial and so on, he has lost everything that his ancestors have uploaded, and he also said that he is not filial, and he will not be able to enjoy the joy of burning incense in the future.

For the people of Ming Dynasty who mainly focus on filial piety, this is the greatest unfilial piety.

After burning the incense, Carpenter Li wandered around his fields, houses, and vegetable fields again, and the bits and pieces of the past emerged in his mind.

I have lived in this mountain all my life, and I have lived here for decades since I was a child. When I said I was going to leave, I really had too much, too much reluctance.

The fields handed down from the ancestors have been reclaimed by generations of ancestors, and this house was also built brick by brick, which is not easy.

Even the vegetable field in the house, Carpenter Li himself has reclaimed it. He worked on the hillside for a long time before reclaiming a little land. At first, the land was very barren. The dung waited until the vegetable field slowly fertilized.

There are also large and small objects in the house, almost everything is made by Carpenter Li himself, such as beds, tables, stools and so on.

Carpenter Li remembers everything clearly. Carpenter Li bought all the dishes and chopsticks in the house. The dishes are so beautiful that they were envied by the people in the village.

We are leaving now, and we can’t take all these things with us. Call Shangcun to come over. You can plant what you want in the fields, and you can also plant what you want in the vegetable fields. After Carpenter Li leaves, you can occupy the house if you want. , It's good to put some firewood or something.

It's just that there are not many people in Shangping Village itself today, and the rest are old people. Everyone can't plant a few fields, can't eat a few vegetables, and they have their own houses.

It is estimated that the fields and vegetable fields will be left uncultivated, and the old house handed down by the ancestors may eventually be toppled.

"Hey, what a good field and vegetable field, no one wants it anymore. If it was before, the brothers would fight to the death."

Carpenter Li sighed again and again, times have changed too fast, such good fields and vegetable fields are no longer wanted, and his house is also very good, so no one wants it either.

In fact, there are no people in Shangping Village.

It took several days for Carpenter Li to finish dealing with the affairs at home. In fact, there was nothing left to take care of.

It's just that I have been reluctant, reluctant to leave here, reluctant to abandon my ancestral property, so I have been dragging it slowly for a few days.

After waiting for Li Da's parents-in-law, Lu Mijiang, to arrive, he set off with great reluctance.

"Carpenter Li, are you really leaving?"

"As soon as you leave, there will be no one in our village."

"Yeah, we old bones are the only ones left, and you are leaving too. If you want to get some stools in the future, there will be no one at the table."

Carpenter Li was about to leave, and everyone in the village came to see him off at Carpenter Li's house. Everyone was envious and felt it was sudden.

What I envy is that Carpenter Li's children are very filial. They miss their parents outside, and they come back from a long distance to pick up their parents and go out to live a good life together.

It was very sudden because everyone had made an appointment to grow old together in this mountain, but Carpenter Li suddenly said that he was leaving, which surprised everyone.

"I'll go outside for everyone to have a look first. If it's good, I'll write back to you. When the time comes, you can go out together."

Although Carpenter Li has many, many reluctances, on the surface he has a smile on his face.

"Carpenter Li, I really want to go out with you."

Old man Chen said enviously, he actually wanted to go out together, but his son didn't write a letter to mention this matter, and he didn't know whether to welcome his old couple or not.

This time is also a good opportunity to go out with Li Da, so as to avoid the trouble of my own children coming back to pick me up in person.

But my children didn't mention this matter, and they didn't want to cause any trouble, not to mention that if they really wanted to leave, there were still many, many obstacles in this mountain.

"I want to go out together, I can still starve you outside."

Carpenter Li said with a smile.

"Carpenter Li, now that you're gone, you don't know when you'll be able to come back."

"Most likely I won't come back in this life. It's too far away. It's really inconvenient to go back and forth on a road of tens of thousands of miles."

"It's hard to say. Maybe the times will change in the future. When you want to come back, you can come back. No one will move your house, fields, vegetable fields, etc. If you are not used to living outside Ah, just come back."

"Yes, although the outside is good, the outside is good, but I think we are definitely not used to living in this mountain. After living in this mountain for a lifetime, we can get used to living in the outside."

"Yes, yes! Come back when you miss this mountain."

Everyone also reluctantly bid farewell to Carpenter Li, and watched Carpenter Li's family leave every step of the way.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Carpenter Li looked back in the direction of Shangping Village again. After passing the mountain in front of him, he could not see Shangping Village.

"Hey, I've lived here all my life. I didn't expect to leave here when I was old. I don't know if I can come back once in this life."

Carpenter Li looked in the direction of his hometown, couldn't help but stop, looked at it for more than ten minutes, and then continued walking without looking back.

"It's fine to go out, it's fine to go out."

"It saves the child from worrying about it, and I can help the child in the future, take care of the child, cook, etc., and have grandchildren, so that they can take care of their lives. It's also very good."

In contrast, Li Da's father-in-law, Lu Mijiang, thought about it. Although he still has a lot of reluctance, but thinking about the children and grandchildren outside, it's good to go out.

He has already thought about his future life, and he feels pretty good. It is good in this big mountain, but he always feels unsatisfactory without his children and grandchildren.

"Yeah, it's good to take care of the children and cook."

Carpenter Li also nodded in agreement.

A group of people walked continuously on the rugged mountain road. The mountain road was rugged. It took a full half a day from the inside of the mountain to the nearest small town, and it was only at noon that they arrived at the nearest small town.

Li Da also went to Boss Lin's place in the town to express his thanks.

In the past few years, the exchange of letters has relied on Boss Lin's help, and Boss Lin didn't charge any extra money.

Seeing Li Da, Boss Lin was also very happy. He asked Li Da to sit down and chatted about the outside world in detail, which also made Boss Lin listen with gusto.

"This Black Earth Province is really good!"

"It's good to go out. Only when you go out will you be successful, and you will have a good life. If you stay in this mountain, you will have no future."

"I haven't seen you in the past few years, you have changed a lot."

Boss Lin sighed again and again after listening to it. Although he had read a lot of relevant reports in the newspapers, it was far worse than listening to Li Da's narration in person.

The endless plains, the vast and fertile black land, you can cultivate whatever you want, whether you want to farm or breed, it is all possible, and you can live a prosperous life.

There is also a large-scale mechanized farming method. It is hard to imagine the scene of this couple farming thousands of acres of land, and it is also hard to imagine the scene when there is so much food that there is nowhere to stack it when the harvest season comes.

"I really want to thank you, Boss Lin, all these years. If not, we would have cut off our correspondence with our family."

"It should be, it should be, it's just a matter of little effort, and it's nothing to worry about."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you. This is a piece of fur that I bought when I was passing by Lin Dongcheng in Northwest Province. It's not worth much, but it's good to keep warm in winter."

"Oh, what a shame, no, no, this is not allowed."

"Boss Lin, don't refuse, just be careful."

After bidding farewell to Boss Lin, Li Da’s family also seized the time to continue on their way. According to the plan, they will arrive in Fengxian County before dark. After arriving in Fengxian County, they can take a car to Kaifeng and then transfer to a train. It will be much easier at that time .
