farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 263

Mining workers have newcomers coming in every year, and there are not many old faces back then.When He Sheng inquired about the miner who knew He Cong, he immediately learned that his brother died of fatigue and illness eight years ago.

For miners like He Cong who had obviously offended others and had no relatives, the mining area ordered people to wrap them in a straw mat and bury them casually in the mountains.

He Sheng has always firmly believed that one needs to see people when one is alive, and one needs to see corpses when one is dead.Despite the bad news, he insisted on finding out where his brother was buried.

It rained again and again, and flash floods broke out frequently. He Sheng, the person who buried the body at the beginning, couldn't find where he was.The kind-hearted miner couldn't bear it, so he followed He Sheng to look for it. He probably knew the location, but it had been too long, so he couldn't remember the exact location for a while.

Fortunately, He Sheng made some money with the caravan on the way, otherwise the money in his hand would not be able to support him in finding his younger brother.

Fortunately, the place where He Cong's bones were buried was not affected by the flood. He Sheng and the miner encountered several dangers in the mountains, and it took more than three months to find the place where He Cong's bones were buried.

He Dashuan loves children very much. He used to carve a pendant for four of He Sheng's siblings out of white pebbles picked up in the river.

It was only when He Sheng saw the white pendant that he was finally convinced that it was really his younger brother. It had been too long, and apart from the pendant, only the thin skeleton remained.

He Sheng had already prepared, he would take his younger brother back to his hometown no matter what, so he prepared a jar and packed the bones one by one.

In this way, it did not disappoint the expectations of parents.

After that, He Sheng paid the miner a lot of money. He wanted to rush back to his hometown immediately, but he didn't know that there was another change on the road.

The road that originally led to the city of Taiping Prefecture was impassable due to the flood.He Sheng had no choice but to find another way.

On the way, he encountered several accidents, and He Sheng brought them lightly, and only told how he spent the rest of his money, where he bought some goods, and how much money he made.

On the way to business, he experienced several life and death tests, and almost couldn't come back.He Sheng dared not say a word to his family.

After finishing speaking, He Dashuan took a puff of dry cigarette and sighed: "Forget it, this is Cong'er's life. Don't cry. He's gone. We're alive, and we remember him. Let's all cheer up. To be alive is to remember him." We should look forward."

"Brother is right!" Second Uncle He also took a puff of cigarette, pushed Aunt He, and said, "Go and persuade sister-in-law to stop crying, Cong'er should be happy when she returns home."

He Zeng wept silently, holding the jar and not letting go.Knowing that she was sad, no one felt good, so no one persuaded her to put down the jar.

In the next few days, He Sheng, He Dashuan and Uncle He's family were busy arranging He Cong's funeral.

Because He Cong died outside, the coffin was parked outside.

After burying He Cong in the He family's ancestral grave, He Dashuan and He Zeng's appearance instantly aged by more than ten years.

He Yuanhui and He Yuanyuan, both of them went back to their mother's home to help persuade the old man.After half a month, the mental state of the two old people gradually improved.

There are sons and daughters-in-law by their side, grandchildren, and several grandchildren who surround them every day. He Dashuan and He Zeng are two elderly people who know how to be content and happy. Gradually, the atmosphere in the family is getting better and better.

In the remaining time, He Sheng hurriedly dealt with the things at hand.He earned a little money outside, and brought back a batch of goods to Daliang Town.

When all the goods were cleared, it was already winter.

Although He Sheng returned home with a large sum of money, after more than two years of suffering, not to mention He Dashuan and He Zeng's family, even Zhang Xihua was not happy that He Sheng would continue to run outside.

Fortunately, He Sheng also understood the worries of his family and did not intend to continue going out for business.The status of merchants in this dynasty was low, and when He Sheng went out to learn business in the past two years, he did not announce it with great fanfare.

The batch of goods in Daliang Town also relied on Uncle Xu Huai's relationship to help sell the goods.

Moreover, after a period of experience, He Sheng's knowledge has increased a lot.Although the living standards of the people in Taiping Prefecture were temporarily difficult due to frequent floods, the quality of life of the people in other parts of the court was booming because of the policies that benefited the country and the people after the new emperor took the throne.

What came with it was the imperial examination that the new emperor was going to promote on a large scale. Since the turmoil in the court, there had been no imperial examination for six years. He Sheng was lucky to get the specific information in advance. He wanted to participate, so he naturally had to prepare in advance.

He Sheng and Xu Huai have already discussed it, and they both plan to calm down and review the books, and ask someone to recommend them for the exam next year.
