    Shitou and the others pushed the cart slowly forward. Although the mountain road was very rugged, these people had been used to walking on the mountain road since they were young, so they walked very easily. Even when pushing a cart full of goods, they still did not feel strenuous.

    In fact, speaking of it, Shitou and the others suffered a lot while working outside. At the beginning, they didn't know anything, so they had to follow a businessman to carry a big bag, and the other party also bullied them as fugitives.  The wages offered were extremely low, just enough for daily food and drink. As for renting a house, it was simply impossible. Fortunately, the weather was hot at the time and they were all men, so they just found a shabby house with no one to live in.  moon.

    Later, after finding some connections, they entered the tea factory where they were working now. Although the boss of this tea factory was also very treacherous, he was much better than the previous businessman. His salary was 70% of that of other workers, plus  For some bonuses and the like, I can also get more than 700 Wen per month. In addition to spending more than 100 Wen every month on food and accommodation, I can still keep more than 500 Wen, which is exactly two times in four months.  A little more, if they weren't worried about being found out by the government during the Chinese New Year, they could still earn another amount in the last month.

    But two coins were enough. After they exchanged the money for various daily necessities, they went to the carriage factory to pick up some broken wheels and repaired them, and then cut wood to build these wheelbarrows themselves.  They are all refugees and have to rely on themselves for everything in the mountains, so almost everyone can do these simple carpentry tasks.

    Pushing the wheelbarrow he made by himself, Shitou looked at his surroundings again and found that they were not far from home. As long as they climbed over the mountain ridge, they could see their village.  In addition, the road on the other side of the mountain has also been repaired by the village and is much easier to walk than the road under their feet.  By then you can be home in as little as a cup of tea.  Thinking of his parents and several younger brothers and sisters at home, Shitou also felt warm in his chest.  I can't wait to fly home right away.

    After climbing over the ridge in front of them, what appeared in front of Shitou and the others was a much wider road. Although this road was not as good as the cement road in the small town where they worked, it was built inch by inch by the people in their village.  of.  At the end of this road, there is a village built on high ground. This is the Luoshi Village where Shitou and the others were born. There are about a hundred households in the whole village, and the total number of men, women, old and children is five to six hundred.  It can be considered a medium-sized village.

    Because the road was relatively far, Shitou and the others had already set when they arrived at Luoshizhai. In addition, it was winter again, so there were no people working in the cultivated fields on both sides of the road. This made Shitou and the others walk all the way to the entrance of the village.  It was only then that he was discovered by some villagers. When these villagers saw that it was Shitou, a gang of stupid boys who had been away from the village for more than half a year, they were all shocked.  While people came up to say hello, some people also went to inform their families.

    "You brat, how dare you come back!" Just as Shitou and others were chatting with familiar villagers about their experiences when they went out to work, suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd outside.  Then an old man with a hunting bow in his hand and a basket of arrows on his back rushed in. When he saw Dunzi.  Raise the bow in your hand and shoot.

    This old man dressed as a hunter is Dunzi¡¯s father, and he is also a famous hunter in the village.  It's just that his family didn't have many children and gave birth to a lot of daughters.  It was only when I was forty that I had this precious son, Dunzi, so I always doted on him. Unfortunately, Dunzi was restless and ran away with Shitou and the others. As a result, he almost made the old man angry to death. Now when he saw Dunzi coming back, he was naturally furious.  .

    Dunzi was bragging about his work in the town with several companions in the village. When he saw the bow in the old man's hand coming, he was so frightened that he threw the car in his hand and hurriedly hid behind the others, dodging and begging for mercy.  He said: "Dad, please don't fight. My son has made a lot of money this time, and he also brought you the strongest wine. These are all my thoughts for you!"

    The so-called son knows better than his father, and the converse is similar. When Dunzi mentioned the word wine, and it was the strongest wine, the old hunter who was addicted to alcohol immediately stopped, and he swallowed his saliva and said  : "Well, since you have a filial piety, where is the wine? Let me have a taste first!"

    Seeing that his father was still as addicted to alcohol as ever, Dunzi finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately jumped over and opened a small bag on his wheelbarrow. As a result, the people around him discovered that the small bag was still padded with thatch, so they opened up the thatch.  A small wine jar was revealed. Not only was this wine jar beautiful, but it also had three big characters burned on it. People who knew the characters exclaimed: "Five Kings are Drunk!"

    The old hunter was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed the small wine jar, and then held it in his arms like a son. At the same time, he put his nose close and kept smelling, although the mud seal of the wine jar had not yet been opened.  , but there is still a hint of wine aroma coming out of the bottle.

    "Good! Good wine! It is indeed the legendary Five Kings Drunk! Hahaha~" The old hunter hadn't drank yet, but he had already started to go crazy with alcohol. He hugged the wine jar and started laughing wildly, and he had no time to explain.

      And Dunzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he felt a little sad. Even though the wine jar was not big, Wuwangzui was the top wine in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who drank wine knew its name.  , although the altar he bought was the cheapest one in the Five Kings Drunk series, it still cost him a full hundred coins, which was dozens of buckets of food!

    Dunzi had just taken care of his father, when Shitou's parents, several younger brothers and sisters, as well as monkeys and others' families also came. However, their reactions were much better than those of the old hunter. Although they kept complaining about his son, they were still  Seeing that they all came back safely and brought back so many things, it seemed that they had indeed made money outside, so I didn't say anything more.

    For this almost isolated Luoshizhai, it was already a big deal for Shitou and his friends to come back from the outside world. In addition, they also wanted to know about Shitou and his friends' experiences in the outside world, so each family gathered together a few dishes and then cooked them in  There were several banquet tables set up on the threshing floor. Although they were all farm side dishes and the wine was mostly home-brewed wine, it was alright as long as it was interesting.

    The protagonists of the banquet were naturally Shitou and others, so a dozen of them young people sat at the banquet table, and then began to tell the villagers around them about their experiences when they were out. Although there were inevitably some exaggerations and even some hearsay,  But it also made the villagers mesmerized.

    It was not until nearly two o'clock in the morning that all the food and wine on the table had been eaten, and Shitou and the others had almost told everything they had experienced, and then the villagers left without feeling satisfied.

    Among them, after Shitou returned home with his father, he found that his mother and younger brothers and sisters were still asleep. When they saw their eldest brother coming back, all the younger ones gathered around him, calling each other for his eldest brother. In fact, they just wanted to give him a gift.  As for Shitou's parents, they stood there smiling and watching their children playing around.

    Shitou¡¯s parents are younger than the old hunter, but because of years of hard work, they look much older than their actual age, even older than the old hunter.  They were fleeing from the Central Plains. There was originally an older brother on the stone. Unfortunately, his older brother was only three years old at the time. He missed him on the road and died on the road. It was not until his parents settled here that they had him again.  as well as two brothers and three sisters.

    Shitou quarreled with his brothers and sisters for a while, and then he opened the big and small bags he brought. Among them were the salt and some iron farm tools that the family needed most, as well as new clothes bought for his mother and sisters.  , these are all bought from newly opened clothing stores. Although they are more expensive than buying cloth, they are more beautiful than making them yourself.

    In addition, there were a few pairs of shoes for his father, as well as the old man's favorite sauce mutton. As for his younger brothers, they didn't have any new clothes. After all, the clothes in the clothing store were too expensive, so Shitou just pulled some cotton cloth and planned to  It was enough to ask his mother to make a set for his father and younger brother, but he also brought his younger brother a lot of snacks from outside, including more than a dozen bottles of canned food.

    Originally, Shi Shi wanted to open the can and let his younger brothers and sisters satisfy their greed, but his father stopped him and said that it was such a good thing and it would be too wasteful to eat it, so he should save it to entertain relatives during the Chinese New Year.

    However, although Dad Shitou said so, in the longing eyes of his children, he finally relented and let Shitou pick a bottle of cans to open. As a result, Shitou opened one of the bottles of braised pork, and then asked his parents and younger brothers and sisters to  Unfortunately, Shitou's parents only tasted one piece, then said it was delicious and stopped eating. The rest were eaten by a few little guys.

    After sending the children to bed, Shitou and his parents did not sleep. Instead, he began to tell his parents about his experiences when he was out. Although he had told them before in front of the villagers, there were some words that he could not tell outsiders.  He said that, so what Shitou is talking about now is his true experience.

    After listening to Shitou's story, Dad Shitou and his wife looked at each other, and then asked his son: "Tou Shitou, you have seen a lot of the world outside. Now Dad wants to ask you, after the New Year, what will you do?"  Don¡¯t you still plan to work outside?¡±

    Shitou is the leader of the young people in the village, and he is more independent-minded than ordinary people. He has already planned for the future, so when he heard his father's question, he immediately said: "Dad, I found that it is not difficult to make money outside."  Earn, as long as you have hands and feet, you can support your family just by working. I plan to work in the tea factory for a few years, and then save some money, and then work with Dunzi and the others. At that time, we need someone, and we need someone.  The technology is good, and the tea is easy to sell, so my parents will definitely be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing!"

    When Shitou said it to the end, his eyes showed a kind of ambition. After experiencing the outside world, this young man who was a refugee already had his own dream.  But then his face darkened and he said in a low tone: "But if we want to set up a factory, we have a huge difficulty"? If we don't find a way to solve this problem, even if we work for others for the rest of our lives, I'm afraid we won't be able to open a factory!  "
