Chapter 40: Daying Township
Qiaolian sat behind Zhang Wenguang, listening to Zhang Wenguang's words, her heart warmed, no matter whether they were sincere or polite, listening to it made people feel comfortable.
It seems that the man the eldest sister married is really good, and she must be obedient to the eldest sister, which is really good, and the eldest sister is also bittersweet this time.
As she spoke, the horse began to climb the plow, and Qiaolian knew that it was not far from Daying Village.
So he hugged the two children in his arms and muttered a few words in the ears of the two children.
Then Qiaolian took out the hats that the two babies wore when they came out of Shijiagou, and asked the two babies to take off their hats and scarves and replace them with the previous ones.
Money is not exposed, and money cannot be shown, and the three of them are all dressed in new clothes, which is too eye-catching.
No one will pay attention to the hurry of the big guy outside, but when he enters the village, he has to be careful. It's not that Qiaolian is too stingy, but she knows too much about human nature.
The eldest sister is doing well at home, and she may not think about it, but her mother and brother and sister-in-law dare not say it.
was able to sell her to the Qu family as a daughter-in-law for the dowry, which is enough to prove who her mother and brother are.
Especially her sister-in-law, who is a child daughter-in-law, is the most bad person, and she was at home before she got married, and she didn't know how much she had suffered.
Qiaolian is not a fool, how can she still be stupid to dress up as a nouveau riche to meet them?
Although the coat is new, it is ordinary cloth and cotton, which is not worth much, and it is not too eye-catching.
But the scarf is not the same as the hat, the scarf is the best and softest cashmere, although the hat is a high imitation, but it looks like the real thing, and those who don't know must think it is very valuable.
One is that Qiao Lian can't explain where these things come from, and the second is that she is afraid that her mother and sister-in-law will be blushing, who knows if they will have any crooked thoughts?
That's why Qiaolian asked the children to change their hats and scarves and replace them with home-made cotton hats, which are inconspicuous and I believe no one will want them.
As for the shoulders and warm shirts worn inside, Qiaolian also explained to the children just now, and the shoulders found an opportunity to take them off and put them together in the coat, and Qiaolian would put them away when the time came.
The warm shirt is worn inside, no one can see it, and when I go to bed at night, I take it off, and Qiaolian hides it, and others won't pay attention.
This time when she came to Daying Village, Qiao Lian didn't decide whether to stay for a long time, it still depends on her sister's attitude, and whether there is a chance to stay here.
Settling down definitely requires land, and without land, there is no production, even if she has a system and lacks nothing, she has to be given a reason and excuse.
Otherwise, if she doesn't farm, but she doesn't lack food and clothing, she will be suspected by others sooner or later.
At this time, the land reform had already passed, and Qiaolian was also afraid that there was no idle land in the village, so it would be a little difficult for her to stay.
Anyway, when she left Yingkuangzi Village, she didn't say anything, Secretary Zhong also said that everything was still for her, and if it wasn't good here, then go back.
So Qiaolian's plan is to stay here until the end of the New Year, and if she can't settle down here, then go back.
The main thing is that this winter, there must be a place to stay. Their mother and son can't live in the Li family all the time?
After all, this is my sister, even if I live for a while, others will not gossip.
Just when Qiaolian was pondering these things in her heart, the Zhang brothers had already rushed down the slope with the plow, and went straight down the slope, needless to say, this must be Daying Township.
"Sister, this is Daying Township, speaking of which, our Daying is not called that for no reason.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xie Taixin, a famous big ginseng household in Yingkou, hired more than 100 people to plant mallets in our place.
You know the mallet, right? It's ginseng, it's a valuable thing, and many people grow it. ”
"The place where we plant mallets here is called the mallet camp, and the mallet camp of more than 100 people is a big camp, so ah, our village is called a big camp." Zhang Wenguang hurried into the village while climbing the plow, and at the same time introduced Qiaolian.
For this, Qiaolian actually knows a little bit, Daying Village belongs to Fusong, and it is not far from Changbai Mountain, a famous mountain in the northeast.
Changbai Mountain is the sacred mountain of the dragon vein of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there are many kinds of precious medicinal materials produced in the local area, the most famous of which is ginseng.
Since the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there has been an industry of artificial cultivation of ginseng, and therefore, many place names in Fusong are related to ginseng.
The camp in the name of the place is basically the place where ginseng was planted in the past, such as this big camp. And what kind of front camp, back camp, and so on, are all the same.
Fusong is a treasure land of feng shui, which is not only rich in products and fertile land, but also rich in ginseng.
This is also one of the reasons why Qiaolian wants to come, there are many opportunities for development here, which is a hundred times stronger than the place in Shijiagou where the mountains are full of broken stones.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, since there is a chance to get out of Shijiagou, she should try to take this step no matter what.
Not only for herself, but also for the two children, what development can Shijiagou's broken place have? Does she want her two children to stay in Shijiagou for the rest of their lives to plant those few acres of broken land?
"Girl, it's here." Just when Qiao Lian was thinking about it in her heart, Zhang Wenguang drove the horse to climb the plow and stopped outside a courtyard.
"Child, come out quickly, see who is here?" Zhang Wenguang shouted loudly towards the courtyard.
As soon as the words fell, I saw several people running out of it.
A woman of twenty-two or three years old, wearing a fuchsia cotton jacket and no hat on her head, ran out of it in a hurry. "Where's my sister? Where's my sister? ”
Qiao Lian got off the plow and shouted to the other party, "Eldest sister, I'm here." ”
Seeing this person's appearance, he knew that it must be the eldest sister, because their sisters' appearance is eight points similar, and they definitely recognize it well.
"Sister, it's coming, my sister is going crazy thinking about what you think.
Why are you so stubborn, let you come, you can come, can our family still lack you to eat? Chen Qiaojuan hugged her sister, and tears fell suddenly.
In the face of such an enthusiastic sister, the longing in Qiaolian's heart could no longer be suppressed, and she hugged her sister back, and the two sisters were just outside the gate, hugging and crying like this.
Can you stop crying? These two sisters were sold by their mother and brother, and they suffered so much and suffered so many sins, and they were sick and sympathetic. When I met and remembered those sad experiences in the past, how could I not cry?
"Sister-in-law, you have been looking forward to bringing Sister Qiaolian here for a long time, why are you still crying at the gate?
It's snowing on this cold day, and Sister Qiaolian is still with her two children, so she hurriedly invites someone into the house. A woman of the same age as Chen Qiaojuan said with a smile.
"Sister Qiaolian, I am the second daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and my sister is a concubine, and I listen to my sister-in-law talk about you all day long."
