The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 67

"By the way, you will have neighbors!" He Youliang looked at the twins intently and said, "Lizheng will bring someone over to measure the land in a few days!"

"Huh? This is so strange, people will come to Dahuangdi to build houses!" He Tao's curiosity was aroused: "Whose house?"

Although the plaque of "Fu's Family in Dafudi" is hung on their home, few people in the village regard this place as a blessed place.

"Grandma Rong's family is separated. They have a lot of family members, and they can't live apart. The brothers below are going to move out to build a house!"

Because of the abnormal weather last winter, several elderly people did not make it through. Just after the New Year's Eve, several funerals were held in the village, and Mrs. Rong's man, Mrs. Rong, was among them.

Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong had a total of eight births, and five sons and one daughter survived. The five sons married wives and had children respectively. They are the old couple who have the most children in Rongshu Village.Although they have a large family, there are only a dozen or so rooms in their house.In the past, the grandchildren of the first house lived in one room, and the grandchildren of the second house lived in one room. However, as the eldest grandson, second grandson, etc., successively married and had children, a small family had to occupy one room. The house is no longer enough.Unmarried grandsons are crowded in one room all year round and play on the floor. It is estimated that the accommodation treatment of the parents and workers of the Huangda family is better than this!

This situation should have been separated long ago.But Mr. Rong is not in good health, but what he likes most is to see his children and grandchildren enjoying themselves, and he insists that he will not be allowed to separate the family unless he closes his eyes.His illness was good and bad, and the coffin and shroud had been prepared for seven or eight years, but he persisted tenaciously until the end of last year when he closed his eyes.

No, as soon as the hot filial piety is over, Mrs. Rong is all about breaking up the family.

Other families in the village can divide their houses into several rooms, build a wall in the middle of the yard, and build a kitchen for each of them to form a family. However, the tradition of the three surnames in the village is that the long house gets the ancestral house, and the rest move Go out and rebuild the house.

Rong Lao Si and Rong Lao Wu have the best relationship, and they want to build the house together.Rong Laosi has two sons and a daughter, and Rong Lao Wu has two sons and two daughters. Considering that the sons will be able to build a house near their hometown in the future after the separation, the place to find must not be small, so they can only build houses in the outskirts of the village.After looking around, the two brothers found that only the Great Wasteland was suitable. If it was a year ago, they would rather live apart than be neighbors with Fu Shi. However, today is different, so they decided up.

"I just heard what the third child of Li Zheng's family said! The Great Wasteland will not be barren in the future, and it will definitely become more lively every day!" He Youliang said excitedly.

He Tao showed a lack of interest, so Fu Shi asked her, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you? Don't you like someone living here?"

"No, I just don't know the conduct of the Rong family, and if they meet someone who is so picky, they will be in trouble..." He Tao said sullenly.

At this time, it is no different from the previous life. A family has a square box, and no one cares about it when it is closed. Some people have lived door to door for more than ten years without knowing their names.In the past two years since she has been here, she has become accustomed to living in isolation. Suddenly, there is a big family near her home, how can she adapt to it all of a sudden.

"Grandma Rong is very nice!" Fu Shi said with certainty.

"How do you know?" He Tao raised an eyebrow.

Fu Shi said embarrassingly: "Didn't I tell you before that when I was young, I stole cherries from Ergou from Grandma Rong's house. Didn't I let their dog bite me? It's obviously my fault." A while ago, Grandma Rong didn't blame me for not saying anything, she even helped me clean the wound, and she stopped my father when he wanted to beat me!"

"..." He Tao looked at Fu Shi helplessly. He still hasn't forgotten what happened hundreds of years ago!However, on second thought, it was precisely because Fu Shi didn't have much contact with the villagers that he could remember every little thing clearly.She reached out and pinched Fu Shi's face and said, "Did you have a good time with the children of Grandma Rong's family?"

"No!" Fu Shi blushed and patted her hand away.The one who bullied him the most when he was a child was Rong Erlang of the old master Rong.However, you don't need to tell your wife about such embarrassing things.

Sure enough, two days later, it was time to measure the land and set up landmarks, and the Rong family also knocked on the door of the Fu family in the Great Wasteland.

Hearing the knock on the door, Nian Zong ran to open the door. After the door opened, he looked up at the person coming and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

It was Mrs. Rong's fourth son Rong Qinghui and fifth son Rong Qingyao who came.They had just surrounded the land with Li Zheng, and they thought that they would live across the river from Fu's family in the future, and neighbors would always have to walk around each other, so they took this opportunity to say hello first.Who knew that the door was opened by a five or six-year-old boy. I only heard that Fu Shi's wife gave birth to twin girls, but I didn't hear that he had a son?

Rong Qinghui scratched his head and looked at his fifth younger brother, Rong Qingyao. After looking at each other, they both remembered the recent rumors in Rongshu Village: Fu Shi and his wife couldn't have a son, so they adopted two little beggars!
Could it be that this is the adopted son of the Fu family?

"I'm looking for your father!" Rong Qingyao bent down and said to Nianzong.

Nian Zong scratched his head and replied in bewilderment: "My father died long ago!"

"Ah?!" Rong Qinghui and Rong Qingyao opened their mouths wide: "Dead?"

"Well, it's been almost half a year since I died!" Nian Zong nodded with certainty.

"No, no, I saw him in the village a few days ago!" Rong Qinghui waved his hand and said, "We are looking for your adoptive father, understand? Fu Shi!"

Nian Zong tilted his head, what is an adoptive father?What is Fu Shi?He blinked and looked at Rong Qinghui: "I don't know!"

This cannot be blamed on Nianzong at all.There were only a few people he came into contact with: Fu Shi and his wife, He Lian, He Youliang, and Fu Quan, who showed his face, who called Fu Shi either "Shi Shi" and "Brother-in-law" or "Shi Shi". Brother, eldest nephew", how could he know what Fu Shi's name was!
Not to mention the inexplicable adoptive father!
"..." Rong Qinghui and Rong Qingyao didn't know what to say!
"Nianzu, who is here?" He Lian came out to relieve the Rong family brothers, and greeted with a smile, "Fourth Uncle Rong, Uncle Rong Fifth! Why are you here?"

"Nian Zong, hurry up and tell your uncle and aunt that Uncle Rong Fourth and Uncle Rong Fifth are here!" He Lian patted Nian Zong on the head, and Nian Zong nodded and ran towards the gate of the small courtyard.

"Uncle Rong Fourth, Uncle Rong Fifth, come in with me."

"That was your elder sister's adopted son just now?" Rong Qinghui asked He Lian.

He Lian was taken aback: "What?!"

Seeing her like this, Rong Qinghui knew that he had mistrusted the rumors again, so he hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

The two followed He Lian through the gate to the inner courtyard. Fu Shi and He Tao stood in the middle of the courtyard and greeted them when they saw them, "Uncle Rong Fourth, Uncle Rong Fifth! Come, sit here!"

"Eldest nephew, the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law interrupted!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four of them sat down at the square table in the middle of the courtyard.As soon as Rong Qingyao turned his head, he saw the twin sisters rolling over and having fun in the main room, while Nian Zu and Nian Zong were squatting beside them holding dolls to tease them, leading them to crawl in a very specific direction.Rong Qingyao couldn't help asking Fu Shi: "Nephew, are these two children from your relatives or something?"

"No, they are orphans fleeing famine!" Fu Shi told the Rong family brothers about the origins of Nianzu and Nianzong: "My wife and I thought they were pitiful, so we stayed to help them. They are our long-term workers. Bar!"

"My nephew is really kind!" Rong Qingyao praised with a thumbs up, and then returned to the topic: "You and I, Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong, are planning to build a house on the other side of the river. Work will start in a few days, and our family will be neighbors across the road in the future!"

"Yes, we will have to move around more in the future!" Rong Qinghui continued.

"Should be." Fu Shi nodded, remembering what He Youliang said earlier about the two families, he asked, "Aunt Rong is also moving here?"

"Yes, not only your third aunt Rong, but your grandma Rong will also come and live with you!" Rong Qinghui explained: "You also know that our third child left early, so we left your third aunt and their mother behind. There are three children, your eldest grandma is worried, she insists on following them, saying she wants to help take care of them."

He Tao laughed and said, "It's just that Fu Shi is still thinking about grandma! A few days ago, he told me that he went to your house to steal cherries when he was a child!"

Rong Qinghui and Rong Qingyao burst out laughing after hearing this, talking about the incident back then.

Rong Qinghui said: "It's been so many years in a flash, isn't my eldest nephew only this tall at that time?" He compared his skills and said: "Holding the tree pole and dare not come down, our rhubarb kept barking under the tree. .”

"That's right, when my mother passed by, he just couldn't hold her and fell off, and Rhubarb bit a big hole in his trousers," Rong Qingyao continued, "I still remember that Fu Shi kept crying while holding his butt. When he went back, he refused to leave, and asked him why, and he said he wanted to eat cherries!"

"In the end, your grandma picked a handful for him, and he went home." Rong Qinghui said to He Tao, and asked Fu Shi after speaking, "Do you remember?"

Fu Shi nodded in embarrassment, and secretly glanced at He Tao.

He Tao laughed so hard that his stomach ached, he couldn't imagine that Fu Shi was like this when he was a child - he was caught stealing and asked for it with confidence!It's so important!
Beginning with childhood anecdotes, the first meeting of the two families went smoothly.

Everyone in the village has heard about the fact that Fu and He used kang to dry wheat. The Rong family brothers were very interested in the kang house, so they went to visit it. After asking a lot of questions, they even asked Fu Shi for the address of Master Li's house. They said that after the house was built, they would build a kang in the bedroom, not to mention saving the money for making the bed, but also saving money for a few thick quilts.

Halfway through the conversation, He Lian finished the lunch, and the Rong family brothers were about to leave after hearing this. After Fu Shi and He Tao sincerely persuaded them to stay, they finally stayed and had lunch and left.

After the two brothers of the Rong family returned to the old house, they first went to the east room where the old lady lived, and told about the enclosure and Shangfu's visit. Rong Qinghui patted his thigh and said, "Those gossips in the village love Telling nonsense, saying that the couple could not have a son to adopt the orphan, we went to find out that Fu Shi kindly stayed to work. The younger one is six years old, and the older one is 11 years old..."

The old lady Rong had her eyes half-closed, but when she heard that there was an 11-year-old orphan, her eyes widened and she asked eagerly, "Did you see those two children? What do they look like..."
