After a while, he asked curiously: "Sir, I heard that there are many mountains in the northwest. If we go northwest, do you think there is a way to survive?"
The yamen servant saw that she was working hard to survive at such a young age.
He suddenly felt a little soft-hearted and kindly gave a few words of advice: "The northwest area was also severely affected, but there are endless mountains there.
The temperature in the mountains is low and the humidity is high. There are many wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains. As long as you work hard, you will not starve to death. However, there are many wild beasts inside, so if you don’t have some skills, it’s better not to go into the mountains. "
Ye Yutong hugged his fists gratefully: "Thank you for your advice, sir."
She was still a little unsure about going to the northwest, but now after listening to the yamen officer's words, she felt that going to the northwest might be the best choice at the moment.
The yamen servant saw that this little girl was quite smart, so he smiled and waved his hand.
Ye Daqing came out of the grain depot and put the grain on his shoulders on the cart. I saw his niece talking to the yamen servant.
She secretly cursed for being shameless, knowing how to seduce men at a young age, just like her mother.
Suddenly I thought, everyone comes in and asks for one tael of silver. How come their family has so much silver?
He also asked two people to come in to buy food, which was only two taels of silver! It would really be a waste.
Even the wealthy households in Li Zhenghe's village could only afford to have one person from each family.
Then he thought of his eldest brother, who knew how to hunt and find ginseng since he was a child. I don’t know how much money I have hidden secretly.
He sneered in his heart and would go back to discuss it with his father later.
The families have been separated for so long, so it’s time for them to contribute some food and money. The elders have raised them so big, are they raised in vain?
When Ye Daqing came out of the grain store, Ye Yutong saw him and glared at him rudely when he saw him staring at him.
Ye Daqing looked away and found a lot of things on the cart behind her. I don’t know if they bought it or if it was from the Yongchang family?
Ye Yutong saw him staring at the things on his cart again, with a greedy look in his eyes.
She laughed twice. This was Ye Daqing, who claimed to be a scholar and an aloof person. Now even a bit of burlap is visible.
When Yongchang and Ye Mingxuan bought the food and came out, she deliberately said loudly: "Uncle Yongchang, someone was staring at your cloth just now. I wonder if they have some idea?"
After saying that, his eyes glanced at Ye Daqing intentionally or unintentionally.
What else doesn’t Yongchang understand? He snorted coldly and said rudely: "If you stare at him again, I will dig out his eyes. Who can think of my things?"
Ye Daqing's face turned red with embarrassment, but he was too embarrassed to look over there, but in his heart he wanted to tear that dead girl into pieces.
The yamen officer glanced at this thoughtful little girl with a half-smile, she was quite good at raising banners.
He just saw that most of these pieces of cloth were bought by this little girl. The man named Yongchang didn't buy as many things as she did.
Ye Mingxuan put the grain on the cart and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Sister, food is so expensive! Our family only has enough money to buy a few liters of grain."
Ye Yutong sighed and pretended to be strong to comfort him: "Brother, it's okay. Over the years, we have eaten wild vegetables and grass roots every day. Haven't we grown so big? Let's see if we can dig some more on the road?"
The leading yamen officer saw that everyone had bought something, so he led them towards the city gate.
Thinking of what the little girl said just now, her hometown eats wild vegetables and grass roots all year round, so she asked curiously: "Where are you from? You eat wild vegetables all year round, don't you have any fields at home?"
Ye Yutong felt that there was nothing he could not say about this matter, and he also wanted to hurt Ye Daqing's face.
He pretended to be sad and said: "Yes, our family has seven or eight acres of land, which is taken care of by my parents and two brothers.
But food is not our turn to eat. My grandparents are getting older and they need to eat something good to replenish their health.
My uncle and cousin are studying in the town, and the students there want to have dignity, good food, and good clothes.
They spend a lot of money every month, and my father goes hunting in the mountains during his spare time for them to study.
The cousin of the second uncle's family must be well taken care of. The cousin is the treasure of the family. They all need to eat grain, and sometimes meat and eggs.
Grandma said that our family was not worthy of eating food and asked us to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and grass roots. "
Remembering the shameless Ye Lanhua who didn't say anything, he added: "We also have a sister-in-law who married into the village next to ours. She often comes to our house to eat and get food, and she also beats and scolds me."
Another yamen servant asked in surprise: "Is your father your grandma's biological son?"
Ye Yutong almost laughed when she heard this. She said uncertainly: "Although my father was not born by my step-grandmother, she said every day that she raised my father as her own son, and she also regarded us as her biological grandchildren. Treat it like a granddaughter."
The yamen servant looked at her in disbelief, "Do you believe this? Then why doesn't she let her son go to work? Why doesn't she let your two brothers go to school in the town?"
Ye Yutong lowered his head pretending to be sad and shrugged his shoulders.
The government officials were crying when they saw her. They felt that they shouldn't have asked her so bluntly just now, and they were a little embarrassed.
Everyone walked forward in silence. When they were about to leave the city gate, the leading yamen servant whispered to Ye Yutong and Ye Mingxuan:
“Seeing as you two siblings are both smart kids, your parents must have something up their sleeve too.
Since the elders are unkind and the whole family is a vampire, why not take this opportunity to separate from them? "
Seeing the two children looking at him with grateful expressions, he thought for a while and made another point:
"Although the capital is a good place, it is a world owned by the powerful. Do you think those powerful people will take the refugees seriously?
If they had taken care of the people, why would they be in today's situation? If you can trust me, just go west from Jiangcheng. There may be a way to survive. "
The brother and sister raised their hands to him cautiously and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. May I ask your surname?"
"Sir, I'm just an errand boy. Everyone calls me Huang Laosi. You can call me Brother Huang.
The blacksmith shop you entered just now is owned by my third brother. If you have a chance to come here in the future, go and find me there. "
"Brother Huang, we will meet again later."
"Okay, see you later."
Yongchang pushed the cart and followed the brothers and sisters. Yongchang heard the conversation between the two and the government officials.
He was going to ask Shitou if the discussion had been completed later.
I went to see him last night. Shitou said that he would ask his parents and two brothers and give him an answer today.
For such a big matter, you must discuss it with your parents. Unlike him, Shitou can make his own decisions without parents or brothers.
The brothers haven't divided the stone yet, but there are parents on it. There is also an uncle, an uncle.
We have always had a good relationship with several of them, so we definitely need to discuss it with them.
It is not a trivial matter to be separated from the village. It is better to change from the prosperous capital to the bitter cold land in the northwest.
