Chapter 73 Getting ready to leave
The reason why the villagers gathered at the door of Su's house when they saw Su Antong returning home was that they wanted to confirm it with Su Antong again.
Su An Dong looked at the people who were talking around him and said, "What the head of the village said is the truth. I don't have time to explain anything to you. My family is leaving." After he finished speaking, Su An Dong turned around and walked towards his own yard.
I could only hear the villagers behind me still talking, someone said: "They are just disaster victims, what can we do? If they come to rob us, we can just fight them back."
Some people also said: Just leave like that! The spring ploughing has just been completed, and if they leave like that, it will be a bargain for those people.
There are also old people crying: My house! My land!
Su Anton ignored the discussions of the crowd. Whether to leave or where to go depended entirely on his personal thoughts.
At this moment, Zhou Lizheng knew that Su Antong had returned and came to the Su family again.
The Zhou family had already packed up most of their things and had decided to go with the Su family. But Zhou Lizheng still didn't give up and asked, "Anton, we have to go!"
Su An Dong looked at his father-in-law, knowing that he was making his last struggle, and said bluntly: "Dad, if you don't leave, are you going to stay and become a rioter?"
Zhou Lizheng closed his eyes and gave up completely. He said nothing, turned around and left, and had to go back to ask his family to pack up quickly.
Su Anton went to the backyard and saw Su Yuanyuan, who was squatting next to the rabbit cage looking at the cubs inside.
All the poultry of the Su family had been killed. Fortunately, there were only a few left in the family, and they had not bought any cubs this year. Su Anyuan was dealing with them in the backyard.
Su Anyuan greeted Su Antong, then took the rabbit cage and went to the back door not far from the back door to continue dealing with the big rabbit.
Su Yuanyuan looked up and said to Su Antong, "Dad, let's release all these little rabbits!"
Su An Dong nodded in agreement and said, "Let him go! He's so young, he can't do anything!"
Su An Dong squatted beside his daughter and said, "Wait until everyone in the family has packed up, and before leaving, find a chance for you to collect all the remaining things at home."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. Who cares if it's useful or not? Just take it and we'll talk about it later."
Su An Dong continued, "I bought some more necessary medicines and items in the county. This way, there won't be any shortage on the surface. In the future, if the things on the surface are not enough and you need to take them out of the space, these things today can also be used as a cover. Anyway, they just took a general look and just knew that I bought them, but they didn't know exactly how much I bought."
Su Yuanyuan praised: "My father is really smart and thinks things through!"
Su An Dong was very pleased with his daughter's flattery. He touched her head and whispered beside her, "We still have to be extremely careful and never expose our golden fingers."
"I understand, don't worry!" Su Yuanyuan always kept in mind that the golden finger must not be exposed. She didn't want to be regarded as a monster.
Su Anton stood up and said, "Yuanyuan, this is not a big deal. As long as we are together as a family, there is nothing we can't overcome." He smiled and looked at his daughter and continued, "Go and release all the little rabbits!"
Su Yuanyuan stood up, smiled at her father and said, "Okay!" Then she took the rabbit cage and went to release the little rabbit. This is good. Su Yuanyuan was also answering what Su Anton said, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
The uneasiness and sensitivity in Su Yuanyuan's heart slowly dissipated in the hearing of her father's words and the busy figures of her family members.
Su Anton looked at the two carts carrying grain parked at the back door, one was a bullock cart, and the other was pulled by two mules. He wondered if he had overexerted himself, as he had stored too much grain! Fortunately, he had not bought grain since last fall, and with the consumption over the past few months, he still had less grain, otherwise it would have been more.
It might be unsafe to carry so much food on the road!
Su An Dong called his wife over and pointed at the two grain trucks: "Wife, you have to find a way to disguise these two grain trucks. Put something on them to cover them up, so that no one can open the door of our truck and look around."
Zhou Huilan understood what he meant and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
Zhou Huilan spread some clothes and quilts on the grain bags of the two cars, and placed the shoes, gauze tents, medicines and other items that Su An Dong had just bought near the door of the car. She also hung some garlic from her home and some bags of dried vegetables on the outside of the car.
Old Madam Su in the front yard called Nianchun and her sister over and asked, "What do you think?"
When Nianchun heard this, she thought that the Su family didn't want to take her and her sisters with them, so she fell to her knees.
Old Mrs. Su looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, feeling helpless. Why did they love kneeling so much? She just couldn't understand!
Old Madam Su knew that they had misunderstood, so she said, "I mean, what do you think? If you don't want to leave your hometown, I can let you go. But if you run away with us, no one can predict what will happen in the end."
Old Mrs. Su was thinking that this was the hometown of the two sisters. What if they had some small thoughts and didn't want to go with their Su family? Don't let anything go wrong, so she asked this question. However, Old Mrs. Su knew that the two sisters should want to go with them, but just in case, she still had to ask, so as not to take it for granted.
Nianchun said hurriedly: "We two sisters are from the Su family, so we naturally have to follow the main family." Although this is a chance for the two sisters to gain freedom, the world outside is so chaotic now, how can the two sisters survive? Rather than not knowing what the future will be like, it is better to follow the main family, at least it is more secure than the two sisters.
Nianchun's father had passed away years ago. Although Nianchun and her sister had sold their bodies to pay for medical treatment, they still did not survive. The news was told to the two sisters by matchmaker Li. After hearing the news, the two sisters were not too sad. They had done what they could as daughters and sold themselves to pay for his medical treatment. They had no regrets or guilt. Since then, for Nianchun and her sister, the only trace of concern for that family has disappeared.
Old Madam Su said something ugly in advance. She sat up straight and said to the two sisters with a serious face, "Since you want to go with us, you must remember to be obedient! You also said that you sisters are members of the Su family, so don't do anything to let the Su family down. As long as you sisters do your duty, we will not abandon you."
Old Mrs. Su thought that the journey was too long, with too many unknowns and uncontrollable factors, so some things had to be made clear in advance.
Sister Nianchun hurriedly said seriously, "Don't worry, old lady. We will be obedient and do our duty."
Seeing that the two of them had taken her words to heart, Old Lady Su said, "Alright, get up! Go get busy!"
The two sisters quickly got up to help move things.
