Half an hour later, we arrived at Canghe Town.
The situation in Canghe Town is not much better than that in Nanping Town. There are refugees everywhere outside the town. There are officers and soldiers guarding the entrance. You also have to pay to enter the town.
Seeing the officers and soldiers, Yun Cuihe hurriedly took off the dark gray necklace from her neck and put it on Chu Yue's head, wrapping her head completely, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
"Good boy, Yueyue, my mother just put on this handkerchief this morning. We will take it off later when we are farther away from the town."
Looking at Yun Cuihe who was concentrating on tying a headscarf on herself, Chu Yue felt a little warm in her heart. She was not a child, but her mother actually coaxed her like this.
Chu Yue smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother."
"You kid, why do you want to see your mother outside?"
After tying their headscarves, they paid the boatman and got off the boat. The boatman did not forget to tell them, "There has been a lot of chaos in the town recently. You must cover the things in your baskets so that no one can see them."
The two looked at each other and nodded, "We understand, thank you for reminding me."
After getting off the boat, Yun Cuihe put the basket on her back and said, "Yueyue, help me cover the cloth on the basket."
"Mom, Shen Li is the weird one carrying the basket, so I'll be the one to carry it."
"It's okay. I'll carry it for a while first. When I can't carry it anymore, you'll have to do it. There's still a long way to go to your grandma's house. We'll take turns."
"Hey, okay." Chu Yue said, covering the old cloth tightly on the backpack, "Mom, it's okay."
After Yun Cuihe heard this, she quickly led Chu Yue away around a remote place with few people.
The two of them walked without stopping until they walked two miles. They stopped to rest when they could no longer see the refugees on the roadside.
After her breathing subsided, Chu Yue took off the necklace from her head and gave it back to Yun Cuihe, then stretched out her hand to put the basket on her back.
"Mom, let's keep walking."
"Why."
The two rested while walking. After half an hour, they finally arrived at the sake village. This time they came to the sake village. It was not as lively as the last time. Along the way, all the doors of the houses were closed and no one was seen. The whole village was quiet. Quietly.
Yun Cuihe was worried and hurriedly walked towards her mother's house.
"Father, mother, eldest brother and second brother, I'm back."
The courtyard door in front of them was quickly opened. The person who opened the door was uncle Yun Dabao. When he saw that the people coming were Yun Cuihe, he hurriedly dragged them into the house.
"Little sister, wife of Xinghe, come in quickly."
Yun Cuihe and Chu Yue didn't know why, so they hurriedly followed Yun Dabao into the house.
"Brother, what's wrong? You're so anxious."
Yun Dabao glanced outside the house, quickly closed the courtyard door, and said in a low voice, "Today, a group of officers and soldiers came to our village. They searched from house to house. I don't know what they are looking for. Didn't you bump into them?"
Yun Cuihe looked surprised, "No, there are officers and soldiers searching Qingjiu Village today?"
"Has your place been searched as well?"
"Yes, but our place was searched several days ago." Yun Cuihe said, taking off the backpack on his back.
When Yun Dabao saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch the backpack. The moment he held it in his hand, he looked surprised and asked, "Is it so heavy?"
Yun Cuihe smiled, "It's a bit heavy, but Yueyue and I took turns carrying it, so it's not bad."
"Why are you carrying so much stuff?"
"Isn't it winter now? I was worried that there would be no food at home, so I sent New Year's gifts to my parents earlier."
Yun Dabao frowned slightly, "Your family has just built a house, and it's not easy for you. Why do you need to give New Year's gifts to me?"
Yun Cuihe took a long breath and said, "It has been many years since I gave a New Year gift to my family. Now that I have recovered a bit and can move around, I want to come back and visit my parents more often. Brother, please put the things here into the house first." , I went in to see my mother."
After Yun Cuihe finished speaking, she led Chu Yue into the house.
After entering the main room, I saw that the rest of the family were staying here to warm themselves up by the fire. It was getting cold today and I had to save food. In order to save firewood at home, I only burned a fireplace in the main room to keep warm.
Seeing that it was Yun Cuihe, Mrs. Xu quickly stood up and said, "Oh, it's Cuihe who's back."
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, how is everything going at home recently?"
"Okay." Mrs. Xu stepped forward and took Yun Cuihe's hand, "Your eldest and second brothers came back from Banpo Village and said that you had built a brick house in your house. We couldn't believe it. Now you are I’m here, and I just wanted to ask you, is it true or false?”
After hearing this, the rest of the people in the room all looked in the direction of Yun Cuihe, wanting to hear an answer from her mouth.
Yun Cuihe looked at everyone's reactions and smiled lightly.
"It's true, but it's not a big house, just enough for a family."
She looked as normal and had no intention of showing off.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed with envy.
"Girl, don't be modest. Your eldest and second brothers also said that you bought a total of 60,000 blue bricks. The 60,000 bricks were used to build a large courtyard and a blue brick house. We dare not even think about it. You are now It’s actually built, which is really enviable.”
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't envy me. Your family's inheritance has also been established. Now you have serious skills, and your family's life will only get better and better in the future."
Xu sighed, "I'm not worried about his two brothers. Mao Xue is now eleven years old. It's not good this year and the town is too chaotic. He hasn't been to school for three months. Xinghe was a middle school student at the age of nine. The child was born in Tongsheng, and my family still has no trace of it."
Yun Cuihe patted Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "Let the child take care of himself. Sister-in-law, there is no need to be too pushy."
It's not easy for her to say too much. After all, it's a family matter that belongs to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. As an aunt, she can just stop there.
The second daughter-in-law on the side has always wanted to have a word with Yun Cuihe, but because the last time they came, she couldn't say a word, and the two sides were a little unhappy, so she never had the nerve to interject.
Then he saw Chu Yue standing next to Yun Cuihe and said hurriedly, "Hey, little sister, your daughter-in-law has grown taller after not seeing her for a few months."
After all, they are a family, and now that people are taking the initiative to show kindness, Yun Cuihe can't keep a cold face.
"What the second sister-in-law said is that when I made the clothes on Yueyue's body, I made them bigger on purpose, but now they fit just right. I'm afraid I'll have to make them again next year."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yun Zhengping walking out of the back room.
"Cuihe, go see your mother, she is thinking about you inside."
"Hey, Dad."
Yun Cuihe greeted the two sisters-in-law and then took Chu Yue into the house.
"mother."
When Li Qiulian saw Yun Cuihe, she smiled with joy and hurriedly held her hand, "Nan, seeing you getting better and better, my mother feels happy at last."
Yun Cuihe's eyes were red, "I made my mother worry about me before, but my mother won't have to worry about me in the future. I will keep a few children alive and come back to see my mother as often as possible."
