"Brother should have someone by his side. He doesn't know the way. If he can have someone he trusts to follow, we can rest assured wherever we go."
While thinking about it, Yan Laoer said: "Mr. Kang is not an ordinary person. His two sons have to be carefully looked at. Our family's current conditions, if you want to find a good one, they are not happy. From those who committed crimes It’s also a way to pick someone at home. I’ve been an official before, so my knowledge is not bad. I’m sure there’s no problem with copying and writing. My eldest brother will take the exam next year, and after that he’ll have to go to Beijing. It’s all the way up. few things.
Having seen the world and suffered crimes, if we can really be down-to-earth, we will definitely not treat you badly, because we are afraid that we will not let go of the past...
As for me, forget it, I'm not too busy. "
Mr. Yan thought about finding someone to follow him, whether he could help him copy books or help him with his homework, hire someone to start wages and have to pay for food and lodging, and give them something during the holidays... What? What a loss.
"Father has me!" Yan Yu ran in and climbed onto the kang with hands and feet. "Father, I'll be your bookboy. You don't need to pay me by the month. You can pay me by the day. I work every day and you pay me every day. How about it?"
Yan Lao Er smiled and said, "I can't afford you.
You all have a shop now, and our whole family can't reach your shop. "
"Hee hee!" Yan Yu said with a grin, "It's all spent buying a shop, Dad, I think you should bring a book boy to help you with some trivial things. If you don't want your daughter to be troubled, I will recommend a few people for you." How are you doing?"
"Who do you want to recommend?" Yan Er was curious.
"Brother Big Tie, Brother Two Tie, Brother Three Tie, Brother Big Gouzi, Brother Erlang from the Hu family, Brother Dalong from the Wang family, Brother Dahu, Brother Song from the Song family is also good, and the boy from Uncle Sun's family..."
Yan Yu's babbling almost counted all the half-grown boys in the village.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Yan Laoer hurriedly stopped: "Even if your father is looking for a book boy, he will only find one. Your range of choices is too big."
Yan Yu came over and gently kneaded her father's shoulder: "Father, you see that you are narrow-minded. You choose someone from here, and naturally you are entangled in which one to choose and which one to choose. Open your mind. It’s all useless.”
"Use both?"
"That's right! Posts are fixed, but people can be mobile."
"This is also okay?"
"Okay, why not, think about it, Dad, this is a good opportunity to go to the government office to see the world, don't just bring one at a time, you can bring a few more, you can follow uncle, you can follow you, no matter how bad you are, follow elder brother It’s okay to be around, these brothers are not young anymore, they work like adults in the village, you’ll see you when you go out this time, archery and sticks are no problem, they can do a lot of things decently, go in rotation, Every time I go for a ten-day period, I can see more people and business affairs, which is good for them."
Yan Yu saw her father moved, and said again: "It's just a few months, wait for you to find a suitable one and replace them with them."
Yan Er Er said: "Okay, then you can talk to them and see who is willing to go with me." They are all good boys who know the basics.
"Father, let's talk about this matter. It's best for you to talk about it. Hehe, let's talk about it when we have discussed how to divide the cattle and sheep." Yan Yu kept a cautious eye. Well, the younger children should not be happy, she is the leader of the Boy Scouts, so naturally she has to think more about it.
Yan's second son straightened his expression: "We have gained a lot this time, fortunately no one was injured, and the cattle and sheep are equally divided, and everyone can have a good year.
Tomorrow, Dad will go to Huju, one is to discuss with Xue Zongqi to get an accurate number, and the other is to tell your teacher about the people we rescued. "
"He brought someone back? Who is it?" Li Xuemei asked in surprise.
Yan Lao Er quickly told the origin of the person.
Li Xuemei was stunned. She just stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked out. There were herds of cattle and sheep, and the voices of several village elders were especially loud. She really didn't see any outsiders entering the village.
Yan Yu pursed her lips. Along the way, she talked to them a lot, and kept thinking about where they were going.
After much deliberation, Xiao'an Village is the most suitable place for them to register.
The folk customs are simple, and they all came here after fleeing famine. They have suffered and suffered, and they are more tolerant of these poor ladies and their children.
Yan Yu looked at the faces of his parents, and whispered: "We have too many cattle and sheep, and we have no experience in raising them. Those women know more or less, and those children, how about helping us herd cattle and sheep?"
The couple looked at each other.
Yan's second son was amused: "Did you arrange an errand for the child at such a young age?"
"It's not too young, the older ones are five or six years old, about the same as me." Yan Yu said.
The children of the poor are headed home early, and these children are sensible earlier. Along the way, except for being more cautious at the beginning, slowly, every time they stop and rest, they work with their mothers, watching the sheep not go far, feeding the fodder, And milking goats...
On the way back, no one ever looked for water, and the squeezed goat milk was enough to quench their thirst.
"Five or six years old, that is to say, some of them have been kidnapped for six or seven years..." Li Xuemei looked out of the window. The noise and excitement in the village had not subsided. Talking, the voice is hearty and clear.
"Talk to the people in the village." Li Xuemei suddenly said, "Our village is huge, and there are so many wastelands around that we can't even open it. Even if they don't have much land, as long as people are diligent, it shouldn't be difficult to support themselves and their children. "
Both the daughter-in-law and the daughter have this kind of heart, so Yan's second child naturally has no second choice.
Grandpa and I hurriedly ate breakfast and fell asleep.
The village also gradually quieted down. After walking all night, everyone who came back was tired.
…
"Sister, is brother-in-law asleep?" Li Xuemei came to Cui's house lightly.
Ms. Cui stretched her head to see her, she narrowed her eyes with a smile, and nodded her head while beckoning her to come to the kitchen.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a booster." Madam Cui hurried back to the house and took a straw mat and put it on the small stool.
Li Xuemei sat down slowly, stretched her legs forward, and felt comfortable.
"Your family is really looking for Mrs. Rong. She can take care of people and see how well she can raise you. My mother always said that this woman's belly can't be big or small, and it's best if she's medium or not."
Miss Cui babbled: "You are not stupid, you walk around a lot, and it is your second child. I think it will be easy.
My second brother and Xiao Er are also asleep? My dog and his father are the same, they walked all night, so why do they have to catch up with this day, sleep now, and when they are still asleep at night, I will wake up these two in the afternoon, so as not to sleep...
Whoops, have you seen the cattle and sheep? It's really a lot, and it's rare to see.
Your brother-in-law is doing well this time, and he brought back the wolf skin, saying that he will make leggings for his father-in-law, so happy for my father, his teeth are all exposed..."
