    When Shitou's father heard his son's words, he sighed and said: "Shitou, if you go out for a trip, your heart will be wild. I'm afraid you won't be an honest farmer again in the future. It's just that we are all runaways, secretly giving birth to others."  It¡¯s okay for others to work part-time, but it¡¯s simply too difficult to open a factory. We can¡¯t handle household registration alone.¡±

    Shitou naturally understands this. They are all fugitives. As long as they are discovered by the government, they will be deported to their place of origin. If he wants to open a factory in Jianzhou, he must have a legitimate identity and at least obtain a local household registration. Otherwise, he must have a legitimate identity.  It's just a fool's errand.  It's just that although the household registration management in Datang is not too strict, if there is no way, it is not so easy to get it.

    However, Shitou is a person who never looks back until he hits the wall, so he did not lose heart, but still firmly said to his father: "Dad, isn't it difficult to do anything? Let's put aside the household registration matter first.  I¡¯d better work honestly for a few years first and look for opportunities while making money, maybe I can get a household registration!¡±

    Seeing that his son still didn't give up, Dad Shitou said nothing more. After all, he knew that his son had always been very independent. As long as it was something he believed in, he would try his best, even if it cost a lot of money.  He did not hesitate to pay the price.

    The return of Shitou and others brought great changes to Luoshi Village, especially on the second day, Shitou's mother and several younger sisters, as well as Dunzi, Houhou and their family members were all wearing new clothes brought back from outside.  Some novel jewelry made the villagers of Luoshizhai even more envious, especially the young girls.  They looked at Shitou, Dunzi and others with different eyes, which greatly satisfied their vanity.

    It was from this time on.  Many young people in the village approached Shitou and the others and hoped that they would go out next time.  Can bring myself.  After all, they all grew up with Shitou. Now that they saw Shitou and the others bringing so many things to their home when they went out, they were naturally envious, so they all thought of going out. As for their home,  I also support this matter.

    To these people¡¯s request, Shitou and the others agreed without even thinking. Shitou and the others were not the only ones working as refugees outside.  There are also refugees from other places, and there are often conflicts between refugees because of some things. When they were outside, there were only a dozen of them and they couldn't beat anyone in a fight, so they were bullied a lot. Now  There are too many people going out. When the time comes, everyone will form a group to see who dares to bully them?

    Stone and the others are busy recruiting people.  He has been running around the village for several days, but after dinner this morning, he just wanted to go out, but his father Shitou stopped him and said: "Stone. Don't go out today, take a gift to Nanshan, you and Toona  It¡¯s time to get things done!¡±

    I heard my father mention the matter between myself and Toon.  Shi Shi also felt a little embarrassed.  He had already decided to get married the year before last.  The woman's family lives in Nanshan Village, and her name is Xiangchun.  He secretly went to see her, and she was a pretty girl. He should have married Toon a long time ago, but he ran away from home last time, and the family really couldn't get anything for the wedding, so he postponed it until  Now.

    Getting married is a big event. If it is placed in an ordinary family, six gifts are required. However, the life of the refugees is difficult, and most of them don't even have enough to eat, so the wedding ceremony is much simpler. Generally speaking,  The engagement is also made first, and then the two families meet again before the wedding to discuss the date and details of the wedding. Then the bride is brought here on the wedding day, and after a banquet, the marriage is considered completed.

    Since they are going to Nanshan Village to discuss the marriage, according to the rules, Shitou and his son must bring a generous gift. These gifts can also be regarded as betrothal gifts when they get married. They must not be careless. In the past, Shitou's family would have really taken them.  There were no decent gifts, but Shitou brought a lot of things this time. After Shitou's parents sorted them out, they took out a piece of cotton cloth, two new clothes, ten pounds of salt and eight bottles of cans, as well as some snacks and exchanges.  bacon.  Although these things may not seem to be worth much, they are already considered very generous betrothal gifts for the refugees.

    Nanshan Village is just south of Luoshizhai. The situation there is even worse than Luoshizhai. The village is surrounded by mountains and cannot grow any food at all. Fortunately, they can still grow tea, but people outside bully them for being fugitives.  The price of tea is extremely low, and it cannot be exchanged for much food throughout the year.

    In order to support the whole family, men in Nanshan Village usually go hunting in the mountains during their off-farm periods. All of them are good hunters. The reason Shitou was able to get engaged to Xiangchun was because Xiangchun¡¯s father accidentally broke his leg when he went hunting in the mountains and almost died.  Fortunately, Father Stone met him on the mountain and carried him home, thus saving his life.  Xiangchun's father was grateful for the life-saving grace of Shitou's family, so he betrothed his daughter Xiangchun to Shitou, and the two families were married.

    ??After carrying all the betrothal gifts to Shitou's wheelbarrow, Shitou and his son set out on the road. Although Nanshan Village is not far from Luoshizhai, it is not close either. In addition, the mountain road is rugged, and it takes more than an hour just to walk.  By the time they arrived at Nanshan Village, it was almost noon.

    Nanshan Village is located in a small mountain valley, surrounded by low hills. On these hills, tea fields have been cultivated and filled with tea trees. Every spring, in these tea fields,  It is full of people picking tea. Unfortunately, these tea fields are not enough to support Nanshan Village. Men still need to venture into the mountains to hunt.

    Because Nanshan Village sells tea, the road condition is better than that in Luoshizhai. Although it is also a dirt road, it is paved with a layer of gravel, so you can walk normally even if it rains.

    Nanshan Village is even poorer than Luoshi Village. After entering the village, all you can see are rows of stone houses with thick thatch on the top. Outside or on the roof of the house, there are all kinds of  Various animal skins and a lot of dried bacon were hung under the eaves.

    Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, most of the men in Nanshan Village are not at home. After all, they want to take advantage of this time to go hunting in the mountains. On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, people from outside will exchange various daily necessities for animal skins. Although  The price is very low, but all they need for the New Year depends on the hunting income.

    There are many women in the village. These women always like to inquire about Shitou. Naturally, many people recognize Shitou, the son-in-law of this village. In addition, the things outside Shitou have also been spread to them, so these women also know Shitou.  Shi Shi was very enthusiastic and greeted the father and son one after another. In the end, Shi Shi and his son were a little embarrassed.

    After walking through the streets of Nanshan Village and reaching the eastern end of the village, I saw the home of Shitou's father-in-law. His father-in-law's surname was Tie, and his name was Tieshan. He was originally a famous hunter in the village, but unfortunately he broke his leg that time.  , despite the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, one leg is still lame and I can no longer do life. I usually stay at home.

    Before Shitou and his son reached Tieshan's house, a villager informed Tieshan that something was happening. However, far away, Shitou saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law standing in front of the gate, waiting to greet them with a smile.  .

    Shitou's father saved Tieshan's life, and the two families often moved around, so when Tieshan saw Shitou's father, he immediately came to greet him happily. At this time, Shitou also stepped forward to pay tribute to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then went to the other villagers in front of him.  In front of him, he unloaded the betrothal gift from the car, which attracted the envy of the villagers. After all, such a generous betrothal gift was rare.  When Tieshan and his wife saw the betrothal gift sent by Shitou, their faces felt bright, so they smiled even brighter and hurriedly welcomed Shitou and his son home.

    Tieshan's family originally lived a good life, but because of Tieshan's last injury, he spent most of his savings on the treatment. In addition, Tieshan could no longer go hunting, so the family lost one main laborer. Fortunately, Tieshan still had two  An adult son, but even so, the family has lost a lot of income, which makes the Tie family look a bit shabby. There is less animal meat and skins under the eaves than other families. However, they also went out hunting today, so the stones are not there.  Meet these two uncles.

    Shitou and his son were welcomed into the house. Shitou's mother-in-law poured water for them, and then started cooking to prepare meals.  The kitchen is next to the main room. When Shi Shi came in just now, he saw two young figures busy in the kitchen. One of them was Tieshan's eldest daughter-in-law. As for the other one, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Shi Shi could already  That figure was definitely his future wife, Toon.

    "Shitou, last time you ran out secretly, you made your parents worry for a long time. Although you brought back a lot of things, you must let your parents know if you go out next time!" Tieshan said with a straight face at first.  Taught Shitou a few words.  Naturally, Shitou didn't dare to say anything, and just nodded in agreement with a smile.

    Tieshan looked at Shitou's attitude and said nothing more. Instead, he began to discuss the date and details of the wedding with Shitou's father. They waited until noon, when Shitou's mother-in-law and Xiangchun had put out the food and wine, before they discussed everything.  complete.  Life was not good, especially for the Tieshan family. Fortunately, the betrothal gift sent by Shitou included canned meat and bacon, so he was able to put together a few dishes, barely enough to entertain people.

    After Tieshan took a sip of his home-brewed rice wine, he suddenly sighed and said: "Dad Shitou, fortunately Shitou came back years ago. If Shitou doesn't come to marry Toon this year, then our marriage will not be possible."  Easy to handle!"

    Hearing Tieshan's words, Shitou's father was stunned. He looked at his son and said in confusion: "Brother Tie, what do you mean by this? Is there any difficulty at home? Do you want to marry Toon to someone else?"
