PS: Thanks to book friend Dead House 1 for the reward.
"No." Kong Yinfan said, "If it were an ordinary family, the clan master would definitely not do the job of keeping a matchmaker and pulling fiber for our daughter. If the clan master can come forward, it means that the son-in-law must have a good background, at least not It’s an ordinary family.”
The woman asked, "What should I do with the five acres of land at home?"
"No more." Kong Yinfan said casually, but when he noticed that his mother-in-law looked bad, he hurriedly added, "What I mean is that the land does not need to be taken care of. As long as the land deed is in our hands, it is our land." , no one can take it away.”
"Then the land is abandoned like this?" the woman said with a heartbroken look on her face.
If the land is not planted, it will become overgrown with weeds and vegetables over time. If you want to restore it to a field, you will need to open up wasteland again and plant food for several years before it can return to its previous appearance.
Kong Yinfan thought for a while and said: "If you are worried that the land is barren, you can leave it to others to plant it. I think the third uncle's family next door is very good. If we take care of the land for them, even if we are uncomfortable staying in Datong, When I come back, I can get the land back and plant it myself.”
Suck!
After saying that, he took a sip of hot porridge in his mouth, picked up a piece with a kuaizi and put it into his mouth to chew.
"Then go to Datong." The woman made up her mind to leave Qufu this time.
After all, the family's life in Qufu was not easy. People of the same clan should take care of each other. In fact, in many cases, they were no different from tenants. They were also bullied by clan elders and many other men, big and small.
"The Sword Comes"
In addition, this time the five acres of irrigated fields turned into five acres of saline-alkali land, which was another reason to make the decision to leave.
"Oh! I went to Datong to find my sister!"
Kong Shangyun, who had been secretly listening to the words of the two people, cheered.
Although he didn't know where Datong was, he knew that Datong was where his sister was married.
Even though they haven't seen each other for just a few days, he still misses his sister who he has lived with for so many years.
Snapped!
The woman raised her hand and hit Kong Shangyun on the head with a kuai, and scolded: "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't know?"
Kong Shangyun, who was beaten, quickly covered the place where he was beaten with his hands.
"Second son, we must not tell anyone about our going to Datong with your sister, otherwise we won't be able to leave, and we may be punished by the clan rules according to clan rules." Kong Yinfan reminded his son solemnly.
"I know." Seeing the seriousness of his father's words, Kong Shangyun's original intention of showing off to his friends who often played with him was temporarily gone.
The woman on the side reminded worriedly: "Listen to your father and don't talk nonsense to anyone, otherwise you won't be able to see your sister."
"I know, mother, I won't tell anyone." Kong Shangyun promised.
The woman picked up a pickle from the plate and put it into Kong Shangyun's bowl as a reward for him.
After all, there is nothing delicious at home, so even pickles must be eaten in a limited amount. Salt is a precious thing and cannot be wasted.
"Second son, don't go out today. Stay at home with your mother to pack things." Kong Yinfan confessed.
After hearing this, Kong Shangyun looked at Kong Yinfan in confusion and asked, "Are you leaving today?"
"Someone is coming to pick us up in the evening. You pack your things in advance. When your brother-in-law comes, we will go directly with them. We don't have to waste time on packing things." Kong Yinfan said.
"I understand, dad." Kong Shangyun nodded in agreement.
At this time, the woman sitting at the table said: "There are so many things in the house, and it will take a large cart to pack them up. You didn't ask them if they would prepare a carriage for us to pull the things at home."
"Datong is in Shanxi, and the road is quite far. It is inconvenient to carry so many things on the road. It is enough to bring only a change of clothes and food, and don't bring anything else." Kong Yinfan explained.
They knew very well that their family was secretly moving to their daughter behind the backs of the Kong clan. It was not an ordinary move, and many things were not convenient to take with them on the road.
"I only brought these few things, and there are so many things at home. Do I really want to leave them behind?" the woman asked sadly.
From a poor family to a wealthy family, since she left home, she naturally wanted to take everything with her.
Kong Yinfan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to go to Datong with your daughter, don't bring anything from home. At worst, you can buy it in Datong. Since your son-in-law comes from a wealthy family, he doesn't need our few things."
"Then it's up to you." The woman was persuaded.
The reason is that the son-in-law comes from a wealthy family, and no matter how bad he is, he still doesn't lack the things from his father-in-law's family.
Kong Shangyun stayed at home honestly all day long, never leaving the courtyard. Apart from helping the woman pack her things, he just sat on the doorstep boredly.
In the past, he should have worked in the fields with his father.
However, they would leave today, and he would no longer need to work hard to plant the land. His father would just take a hoe to go around the field and then come back.
Knowing that she was leaving at night, the woman packed her things and prepared dry food for the journey at home during the day.
When it came time for dinner, they gave up the porridge they used to drink and added some dry food. The whole family had a full meal.
At night, no one in the family slept, and they all stayed on the kang in the east room.
While waiting, the family had never felt that time was so difficult.
"You heard me right! You're not coming here tonight?" The woman who never saw anyone coming sounded slightly anxious.
Kong Yinfan said: "What I heard is true. There is nothing wrong. Please be patient and wait a little longer."
The family was groping in the dark and had no way of timing the time, let alone what time it was outside. They just felt that a long time had passed, and Kong Shangyun was so sleepy that he dozed off.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Master Kong, Master Kong!"
Just when the family was about to give up, Xing Yun's shouts came from outside the window.
"I'm coming."
Kong Yinfan, who was the first to react, hurriedly bumped the woman with his arm.
The woman who came back to her senses quickly said: "Hurry up and turn on the oil lamp and get the person closer to the house."
"Light some oil lamp? You stay here while I go out to take a look. Don't light a lamp." Kong Yinfan reminded him uneasily, then got off the kang and walked out of the house.
In order to wait for someone to come, he deliberately left the door of the outhouse unbolted tonight.
Opening the door, he walked out.
Xing Yun, who was under the window, heard the sound of the door and came over.
"Mr. Kong, have you packed everything?" Xing Yun asked straight to the point when he saw Kong Yinfan.
The order he received was to bring the person back to Datong regardless of whether the other party's family was willing to leave Qufu, even if it used some extraordinary means.
"Ready, ready, waiting for you to come." Kong Yinfan nodded repeatedly.
Xing Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party was willing to let him leave, and he didn't need to use other means.
He said: "The carriage is outside. Master Kong, take your family and let's go!"
"Okay, I'll ask my wife to bring something out." Kong Yinfan said, turned around and returned to the house.
