Chapter 10 Leaving
Author: Yuyujiangye
"I'll go! I only have 353 favorability points?!" Xia Huai was shocked and couldn't accept it, so she clicked on the points details.
The father and mother each contributed 80 points, Mrs. Feng contributed 60 points, her son contributed 68 points, and others had 59 points here and there.
What makes Xia Huai most unbelievable is that her husband-in-law, the unlucky guy who died in battle, only contributed 6 points!!!
Li Li's original score.
Who knew that a person who insists on marrying you would only have a 6-point liking for you?!
Xia Huai looked at the balance and couldn't help but cursed: "Thank you God for letting me start as a widow!" With such a husband, she might as well be a widow!
Originally, Xia Huai wanted to open a small stove for herself, but after looking at her balance and how poor she was, she decided to save it first, in case there was an urgent need.
As for the non-physical products, Xia Huai opened her eyes and looked outside. She decided to go to bed first and explore again when she had time!
At around five o'clock the next day, the sound of kicking and tapping in the yard woke Xia Huai, who was sleeping soundly.
She carefully put her son aside and turned over.
"Mom, are you leaving now?"
When Zhou Huiniang saw that her daughter was awake, she looked at her grandson who was sleeping sweetly beside her, and subconsciously lowered her voice: "It's about to come. Someone from the village chief just came to urge you. Why don't you sleep for a while?"
Xia Huai shook his head: "Mom, is there anything you need my help with?"
"There's no need for you here. Things were packed yesterday. Let's just get up and have something to eat and wait for the neighbors to leave together!"
When there was a noise nearby, Mrs. Feng shouted, and the Xia family drove a mule cart and pushed three trolleys, each with their luggage on their backs and their luggage in their hands.
Xiushui Village is not a big village, only a few dozen households, and there are still some people who do not plan to leave. Village Chief Zhang does not persuade anyone who wants to leave, just follow. If you don’t want to leave, that’s fine. He doesn’t want to take too many
people.
There are about 300 people in the thirty-five households, and the old Xia family alone occupies 16 of them! This does not include the second-bedroom Xia Mian family.
"When we get to town, we have to buy some things. Second son, you go pick up Xia Mian." Mrs. Feng, who was skinny and carrying a package twice as big as hers, ordered without blushing and out of breath.
Xia Dazhuang nodded, and Liu Qiuhe beside him opened his mouth, but closed it again.
Village Chief Zhang led the way, and the old Xia family walked in the middle and behind. Xiushui Village is not considered wealthy, so there are very few people with cars, and most of them rely on manual transportation.
On the way to the town, I encountered a lot of unimpressive pedestrians. Most of them were scattered and in small groups. There were not many people from a village like Xiushui Village.
After all, it's just an earthquake. If your house is gone, you can just find a place to build a thatched hut. It's not like there's no food. If there's no food to eat, then I guess there will be more people fleeing the famine on the road.
An hour later, the team at the front slowly stopped.
There was no loudspeaker, so of course we had no idea what was going on ahead, and the villagers were not well-trained soldiers, so the team moved sparsely.
But there was no need to inquire, as he arrived at the town just in front of him. It was probably the village chief's special time to buy things for the villagers.
Sure enough, Wang Shuyu's younger brother, Shitou, came running after a while.
"Aunt Zhou, Uncle Dashan, my parents asked me to ask you if you want to go to town to buy some things!"
Shitou is twelve years old this year. He is at the age when he is chasing chickens and chasing dogs and is lively and active. This kind of job of spreading news is suitable for him.
Zhou Huiniang and Xia Dashan looked at each other, then nodded towards Shitou: "Okay, you go back and ask your parents to wait for us for a while!"
"Why!"
Mrs. Feng was right next to her. She glanced at the crowd and said decisively: "The mountain is huge, the boss and the third family, you just need to go, we will stay here and wait for you."
Xia Huai paused, then led Rui Geer forward: "Grandma, I also have some things to buy. See if I can."
Mrs. Feng raised her eyebrows and looked at the little granddaughter in front of her.
Xia Huai is good-looking. It should be said that she is very lucky. She has picked up the advantages of her parents all over her body.
He has a tall body, but not a skinny one. The places where there should be flesh are very good, and the places where there should not be flesh are not at all extra flesh.
Her eyebrows are neither thick nor light, and are shaped like willow leaves. She does not need to use lipstick to add color to her lips, and her peach blossom eyes are radiant. The most important thing is that she is white and does not get tanned easily.
"It's time to buy some things. Go and be with your parents."
Xia Huai felt happy and quickly agreed.
Behind her, Wu Xiaorong looked at Xia Huai's back and couldn't help biting her lip. She turned to look at Mrs. Feng, feeling very sad for a moment.
Liu Qiuhe didn't feel too uncomfortable. She was used to her mother-in-law treating her like nothing.
The town was also affected by the earthquake, but because most of the houses were made of bricks and tiles, the degree of collapse was not large and the area involved was small.
At this time, the market in the town was bustling, but neither the people buying things in the town nor the people selling things at the stalls looked good.
Although Village Chief Zhang gave the villagers time to buy things, not many people actually came to the town to buy things. After all, not everyone has spare money.
Xia Dashan and his party were with Wang Tieniu.
"Brother Dashan, my family plans to buy some salt, but not food."
Xia Dashan nodded: "Our family doesn't buy food either. We also have to buy salt."
People can go without meat for a day, but they cannot go without salt for a day. How can you have the strength to travel without eating salt? So this salt is a must!
Poor families cannot afford refined salt or fine salt, so they usually buy salt.
Good salt is more expensive than meat, costing upwards of thirty cents anyway, but coarse salt is much cheaper. A pound of coarse salt can sometimes be purchased for eight or ten cents.
"Then let's go to the grocery store first, shall we?"
However, Xia Huai stopped her father and said, "Dad, please help me buy a few kilograms of coarse salt later. I'll go look elsewhere and look for you at the grocery store later." After saying that, she put the preparations in her hands.
Good money was put into Xia Dashan's hands.
Xia Dashan glanced at his eldest brother and sister-in-law from the corner of his eye, and accepted it with a smile. After all, even if he wanted to buy it for his daughter, he had to have money, right? The money has already been handed over to the public, so he shouldn't be pretentious!
"Then take Brother Rui and be careful. There is a lot of chaos in the town now." Xia Dashan paused and simply asked his wife to follow.
Seeing Xia Dashan and others walking away, Zhou Huiniang curiously asked her daughter: "Huai'er, what do you want to buy?"
Xia Huai smiled and didn't explain much. She just chose a direction and pulled her mother away.
When she came over, she paid attention to the stalls and shops on both sides of the road, so she quickly found the place she was looking for.
Zhou Huiniang smelled the unpleasant smell of horse dung and cow dung in the air, and couldn't help but frown: "Huai'er?"
Xia Huai then explained: "Mom, I thought about it. I have some spare money on hand, so it would be more convenient to buy a car." After saying that, she pulled Rui Geer and walked forward with her skirt in hand.
