There were a lot of rumors in the village, and he heard them. Although he didn't take them seriously, he knew that the longer the night, the more trouble there would be.

Shen Qingshan divided the ribs and pork belly into eight portions according to his father's instructions.

The advantage of having great strength is that it can be cut very neatly, with one cut, the skin and bones are included, without even a tendon of flesh being attached.

A family weighs about ten kilograms.

Aunt Su's family had a lot more than other families. They had two ribs and a big pig's head...

Shen Qingshan happily hooked a straw rope on the ribs and pork belly, put the pig's head in a sack, carried it easily, and ran to the Su family.

When she saw Shen Qingshan's smiling face as usual and the things he was holding in his hands, Aunt Su's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, almost settled down.

Although Mr. Shen was quite polite to her that day, she still felt a little uneasy.

You could say they were a well-matched couple before, but after Shen Yu came back to his ancestral home, the gap between their family backgrounds became too huge.

Her daughter was young and naive, so she wasn't worried at all, but as a mother she always had to plan ahead.

But now no matter what she did, it was obviously inappropriate.

Just when I was feeling restless, Qingshan came in carrying ribs, pork belly and a sack.

There turned out to be a big pig's head inside.

For rural people in the north, roasted spiced pork head is a great dish to go with both wine and rice.

Moreover, the pig's head must be eaten on the second day of the second lunar month.

It is also called eating the dragon head, and I don’t know how it is related to the dragon.

However, this custom varies from place to place.

She was extremely happy, not for the things, but for Shen Yu's thoughts and attitude. She quickly led him into the house, poured him water and handed him melon seeds.

She looked at him with a loving smile.

Shen Qingshan remembered that this was similar to how his own mother looked at Feng Anchen.

Shen Qingshan's ears turned a little red.

Juanzi stood by the wall, graceful and smiling...

His heart was pounding like a drum. He quickly turned around and strode out of the yard. Aunt Su was stunned for a moment, as she didn't expect Shen Qingshan to leave so easily. But when she saw him chopping firewood with an axe in the yard, the corners of her mouth curled up with satisfaction.

However, he still pulled the person away with heartache, and then Shen Qingshan had lunch at Su's house.

This is a common occurrence, and Chen Li and Shen Yu don't take it seriously at all.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youcai, who had seen off Grandpa Shen and Shen Hongxiu, came back from the county town. Under the instructions of his grandfather, he bought the rented yard and prepared to transfer it to Shen Yu, so Shen Yu had to go with him to handle the formalities in the afternoon.

However, the house was originally rented for the purpose of getting close to Shen Yu and his family, so it was not very large. It had a small yard, but it was very crowded with such a large family living in it.

The current situation in Yuncheng is still unclear, and the eldest young master’s son cannot go to Yuncheng immediately, so it would be beneficial to buy a house in the county town.

But after Zhu Youcai walked around the spacious and bright courtyard of the Shen family, he felt that this might not be possible.

The children didn’t know, but Shen Yu and Chen Li might not be able to go to the county town.

To be honest, the houses in the county town cannot compare with the Shen family's blue brick and tile house except for its convenient location and transportation.

If I buy a horse-drawn carriage, the horse needs to eat grass and needs someone to take care of it, which is inconvenient no matter how you think about it.

When he came back from the county town, he still took someone else's ox cart or donkey cart.

I found Shen Yu and told him about the things I was worried about. Shen Yu said nonchalantly, "I won't go to the county town all the time when I have nothing to do. The brigade has a carriage. In a few days, the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters stored in the warehouse will be sold. Then I can go to the brigade to apply and pay some food, fodder or money according to the regulations."

Oh, this is also possible.

"Aren't you going to live in the house in the county town?

Zhu Youcai is older than Shen Yu. Shen Yu smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, that house is too small, but we can temporarily store the goods there."

Shen Yu did not refuse and accepted it happily.

"Then come with me this afternoon to complete the formalities."

A few days ago, Gutian Commune allocated two horses to Kaoshan Village, which were much faster than the old ox, so the old ox was gloriously laid off. The structure of a horse-drawn carriage is similar to that of an ox-drawn cart. After being harnessed, the ox-drawn cart becomes a horse-drawn carriage, and it runs much faster than an ox-drawn cart.

So in the afternoon, a large bundle of wheat straw and five pounds of soybeans were handed over to the brigade headquarters. Shen Yu drove the horse-drawn carriage and loaded all the goods in the warehouse. Although there were still more than 20 days before the New Year, it was time to prepare everything.

Taking his two sons and Feng Anchen with him, Shen Yu raised the whip and rode to Lanbei County with the clatter of horse hooves.

Everything is the same as usual.

Even if nothing happened to the Shen family in Yuncheng, he was not ready to leave here with his grandfather and others immediately.

Even though he was very poor, moving was not as easy as he imagined.

Just for Jiawen, we have to be cautious because he will take the college entrance examination in July this year.

The time is too short and there is no need to transfer schools, so naturally we have to do it step by step. This has nothing to do with whether anything happens to the Shen family in Yuncheng.

…

Old Master Shen and his companions are still on the way. The Shen family in Yuncheng seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is a mess inside.

Luo Aofu in the hospital finally found out about it. She sat blankly on the bed, her eyes lifeless, her hands tightly clenched. She had already become numb.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall man in his sixties with some graying temples walked over step by step.

Seeing the person coming, Luo Aofu was shocked, and a trace of fear flashed in her wooden eyes, "Fourth Brother."

The man came to Luo Aofu's bed and looked down at her.

After a while, he said calmly, "It's not easy that you still remember me."

Luo Aofu's lips moved, her voice trembling a little, "Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you doing well now?"

Pulling over a chair and sitting opposite Luo Aofu, Lin Heng curled his lips and asked, "How do you think I'm doing?"

Luo Aofu looked at Lin Heng in front of her. She hadn't seen him for ten years. Although he had aged, his face was still cold and handsome. However, his eyes seemed sharper and more sinister, as if he could see through everything about her at a glance, leaving her with nowhere to hide. Luo Aofu lowered her head in panic.

She bit her lip and said nothing.
