In fact, Chen Da shotgun and his family don't want to leave the mountains. Once people get used to living in a place, they will develop feelings for the place and will not leave easily unless absolutely necessary.
Especially Fengying, who has lived in the mountains with her father and mother since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to this kind of life. Now that she is about to move out just after she got married, she is naturally unwilling to do so.
Although the family lives alone in the mountains, it is inconvenient to do anything, especially since they have to go out to the mountains every now and then to exchange for some household items, which requires a long journey back and forth.
But after all, there are houses for living in the mountains, and all daily necessities are relatively complete. Even the well that has been used for more than ten years still has clear water in winter and summer.
Besides, how can any hunter not live in the mountains? Only in this way can hunting be convenient, not to mention that we don’t know where to move now. Even if we move, we have to find a good place in advance. We can’t move just in case.
"Isn't it? It's said that some kind of Manchukuo was established, and the bad emperor who was kicked out of the Forbidden City came to our Manchuria to become the emperor again and continued to control us.
In fact, it was not the Japanese who had the final say, he was just a dog. But as soon as he came up, he asked us to merge the villages and let the Japanese plant all the good land.
Many villages were burned down, the people were driven away, and they were all gathered together without any land for farming. How could they survive? I heard that many people were killed!
I won't let you live in this mountain, saying that I'm afraid of colluding with the rebels and the beards. What can be done? They have also taken away the gun, so we can't hunt and we can't fight with them.
It seems the only option is to move out. But I haven’t thought about where to move. Even if I move out and there is no land to farm, how will I live in the future? It’s really worrying! "
Father Chen put down the bowl and looked out blankly. He is really worried. The world has forced the poor to have no way to survive, and they are not allowed to live in one side.
Yu Chenglong thought, the Japanese want to merge villages and plant good land. Can they merge villages in Duanlonggang? There are all good places there.
Yu Chenglong suddenly thought of home, his mother, sister and brother. I wonder how they are doing now?
Wouldn't it be better if the father-in-law and his family could all move to Duanlonggang so that they could take care of each other and it would be convenient for him to take care of them.
"Dad, just move into my house, so you can feel at ease when I leave. Although my house only has two rooms now, the place is quite spacious, and it will be enough for a few more rooms.
Although my family does not have land, I can support you, you don’t have to do anything, and your children can go to school when they grow up.
The two families moved together so that they could take care of each other, and it saved me from having to worry about everything in and out of the country, so I could feel at ease wherever I went. I think this is feasible. Do you think this is feasible? "
Yu Chenglong carefully sought the opinions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. My father-in-law thought it was feasible to ask this question, but he was also worried about the future of his life.
"Right now, this seems like a solution. But how are you going to feed such a large population? You can't make any money from fighting the Japanese."
"Don't worry, I can support you and make sure you don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Although that is what I say, how can one sit around and not work all the time?"
"If it doesn't work, let's buy some land and learn to plant. As long as we work hard at the crops, we can't just sit idle and do nothing."
"You all tell me, can this be done?" After hearing Yu Chenglong's suggestion, Father Chen felt that he had no choice but to do something now, but he still wanted to seek the opinions of the whole family.
However, no one in the family raised any objections. Even Fengying, who originally opposed the move, didn't say anything. It seemed that she also wanted to stay at her husband's house temporarily.
"Since we don't have any objections, it's settled. I'll go out tomorrow and hire a big cart. Together with our little cart, I can pull things pretty much.
Pick out the useful ones and take them with you, and discard the rest that are useless. You guys have been tidying up at home these two days, taking everything you should have. A broken home is worth a thousand dollars. You have to move sooner or later, so move early and move quickly. "
The matter was settled like this, and the next day, Father Chen finished his meal early and hit the road. Yu Chenglong and others, under the instigation of their mother, packed up their belongings and prepared to move.
Three days later, in the morning, Father Chen arrived with a four-horse cart. He said he would pack up his things immediately and move away after loading the cart.
Father Chen walked around the house to see if he had left anything behind. Then he and others loaded the carriage with things and asked Fengying to take the horses out to graze.
I was busy until almost noon, loading everything I needed to bring into the car. Father Chen asked his wife and sister-in-law to bring the food to the yard for everyone to eat.
Father Chen said he would take his two grandsons to burn some paper for his son. My mother and sister-in-law were also going, but my father refused to let them go, saying that after they settled down in Duanlonggang, they would move their son's grave there in the fall, so that the whole family could be together.
Father Chen held his little grandson in one hand and a roll of paper in the other, and led his eldest grandson away. The eyes of my mother and sister-in-law were moist, and with tears in their eyes they served rice to the driver and those following the car.
At this time, Fengying came back, and a group of people squatted in the yard to eat. After Chen came back, he also led his two grandsons to squat in the yard to eat. He told his grandsons to eat more to avoid being hungry on the road.
After eating, he washed the pots, bowls, and basins, put them into a box, and carried them into the car. Father Chen led the whole family around the courtyard of their former home.
When he came to the firewood house, he asked the whole family to work together to knock down the firewood house, and the back hole was completely sealed up together with the rags that were not taken away.
Father Chen held a pile of soil in the center of the yard, lit incense and bowed. This was the home we had lived in for most of our lives, and we were not allowed to leave for anything. The whole family was in tears.
"Let's go, it's hard to leave our homeland, but we have to leave it!" After saying this, Father Chen jumped on his little carriage and drove away, but he still kept looking back.
Another large car followed, and Yu Chenglong walked at the end. He wanted to imprint this home in his memory, especially the small cave that left a deep memory for him.
Yu Chenglong's mood is still like this, and the mood of the father-in-law and his family who really left home can be imagined. But no matter what, I can no longer live in the mountains, and I have to leave no matter how sad I am.
The carriage trudged hard in the mountains for a day and a night, and finally came out of the old forest. It was almost noon when the exhausted group stopped near a town.
The owner of the carriage quickly unloaded the fodder to feed the horses, while Yu Chenglong ran into the town to buy some dry food and brought it back. The group of people had a meal with pickles on the side of the road.
In this way, the horse rests for a while when it is hungry and goes away when it is full. Food and accommodation are all in the wild, so you can avoid risks and save some money.
