Upon receiving the news, Chen Fu led his men to dig around the foot of the mountain near the village, and they indeed found a patch of dry land that was now moist.

When the news spread, the villagers of Xiangyang Village all grabbed their hoes and rushed over there, digging up a large area of ​​land in that region.

The villagers in the nearby villages heard about it and quickly followed suit, finding land suitable for planting in various places.

They knew that the natural disaster was about to pass.

In 1963, Xie Ming received another letter from Xiangyang Village. In the letter, Chen Fu said that the Qian family had all died.

The eldest son of the Qian family was still alive, but some time ago someone sent him a letter saying that the entire Qian family had starved to death during the famine. Unable to bear the blow, he passed away.

Xie Ming smiled as he looked at the letter. He then turned to ask his parents if they would be willing to stay in Xiangyang Village for a few years.

After years of operation, he became very familiar with almost all the villages there.

Although Master Xie is long gone, his past is tainted and will inevitably affect his descendants sooner or later. For the next ten years or so, that place will undoubtedly be the best safe haven for our family.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie thought that their robust youngest son would be a good choice to go to the countryside.

Yes, Xie Ming has a little brother now, but he doesn't have children of his own. He couldn't let his parents be without a grandson to hold, so he became a "fertility goddess."

The couple quickly accepted Xie Ming's suggestion and let him arrange for them to become distant relatives of the Chen family.

Before the Xie family could react, Xie Ming and his family had vanished from the city. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they would never have imagined that the fifth branch of the family would go to Xiangyang Village to become farmers.

And so Xie Ming, along with his parents and younger brother, excitedly embarked on a new "rural" life.
