Chapter 49: Departure

Chen pushed the paper bag back, "You come to take a look, forget it, what are you carrying, take it back quickly."

Shanzi's mother pushed it back again stubbornly, "As an aunt, what's wrong with giving Xiaofei some brown sugar? This is nothing, don't push it, I won't enter your house again in the future."

"Xiaofei is in the inner room, I'll go and see her."

Shanzi's mother lifted the curtain and walked in.

Gu Fei lay on the kang and raised her face to smile at her, "Aunt Huang."

"Oh, look at Xiaofei, this girl, I haven't seen her for so many years, but she still recognizes me. No wonder Aunt Huang is thinking about you in her heart."

"Is your injury better?"

Gu Fei nodded.

Shanzi's mother said with concern: "We will leave the day after tomorrow. Is your injury a problem?"

Chen followed in, "There is no other way. I said we should wait a few days until her injury is healed before leaving. The village has already set a time limit, so it is not easy to postpone."

"Anyway, we will either take a car or her father and several brothers will take turns to carry her."

Shanzi's mother said hurriedly: "Speaking of fleeing famine, I really have no backbone in my heart."

"Shanzi's father is gone again. We are an orphan and a widow. If we encounter any problems on the road, we don't know what to do."

Chen's eyes flashed, and she understood her intention. She smiled and said: "What's the big deal? You are not going alone. Let's go together. Go, what you meet, everyone must take care of it. "Shanzi mother said busy:" I heard that few households are willing to go. Except for the village chief, you are the three brothers of your family, and there is Zhang Lao everyone. "" I want to survive this winter. That's also, I also said that the spring was gone, but my little jade said that tens of thousands of things recovered in spring. The bugs came out. The most prone to plague, so I had to go quickly. The two people in the village are the two people who are the most insightful and understandable in the village. You have to go, then we will follow you. If you don't know what to do, just look at what the smart people do and follow them. This is the wisdom of life.

Chen patted her hands, "Don't worry too much. My old man has found a guide to go with us. He said he used to escort and had been to the south."

Shanzi's mother was delighted, "Really? It must cost a lot of money to hire such a person."

Chen smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Shanzi's mother whispered, "I bought a mule cart. When the time comes, I will follow your family."

Chen smiled, "Okay, you follow. There is nothing else in my family, but there are many boys. If you meet someone who can't get up the slope or needs a hand, just call them."

Shanzi's mother was waiting for this sentence, "Then I won't be polite to you when the time comes."

The two women laughed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the departure day.

Chen got up at the hour of Mao and called everyone in the family one by one.

"Hurry up, pack the quilt and other things and get on the carriage."

Gu Fei was still in a dream, and her quilt was rolled away by her impatient mother.

Lan Zhi pushed her desperately, "Xiao Fei, get up, it's time to leave."
