62. Relatives defect
Although the weather is cold, it cannot stop the fiery hearts of every household in Weiyang City. Although some families are still living in tents, they will receive priority in receiving wool quilts and 'black gold' made by textile factories, and their lives are getting better and better.
.
In order to make it easier for people in the city to go out to work in the fields, the infrastructure construction team lost no time in building cement roads. There were even horse-drawn carriages to transport people at scheduled times every morning, so they would not be delayed for long on the road.
After the refugees settled here, they looked for opportunities to spread the news and tell their relatives and friends to come and seek refuge in Weiyang City.
Zhang Hu's family is one of them. Chunhua made a pot of rice early in the morning and stood in front of the courtyard gate looking forward to it.
Aunt Zhang looked at her distracted look and said with a smile: "Chunhua, don't be afraid, your father and brother have escaped. Since the news can be delivered to Weiyang City, it means it is not far from us."
Chun Hua is also counting the days, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked for leave from the textile factory today and would be stuck here.
"Mom, ever since I knew what the people who escaped from Anyu City looked like, I couldn't sleep at night. Fortunately, God allowed my father and brother's family to escape. Otherwise, I really regret that I didn't drag them with me.
Let’s come together.”
"Hu Zi also asked for leave and went to pick them up at the city gate. Don't worry. Count the days and you will definitely arrive before noon today. You can have some food and you will have the strength to greet them later."
"Mom, how can I think about cleaning up?" Just as she was saying this, Chunhua heard Zhang Hu shouting from a distance: "Chunhua! Come out and help!"
Chunhua rushed out in a hurry, but as soon as she reached the threshold, her right shoe flew out. She quickly stopped, picked up the shoe, and hurriedly stuffed her foot in.
"Dad! Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Chunhua's eyes were sore when she saw her mother's family. She looked at her emaciated father and brother, and didn't see her sister-in-law's voice. She covered her mouth to hold back her sobs, but she didn't ask any more questions. She pulled her father's sleeves tremblingly, "Dad!
You have suffered!"
"Good boy, you are all good, dad is not suffering. It's just Chunfeng who is suffering."
Chunhua's brother Chunfeng shook his head and said hoarsely: "Let's go in and talk."
Chunhua felt uncomfortable. Her father Chunxiu was a famous teacher in the town at that time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a great scholar, because a young steward under the city lord fell in love with her. In order to avoid trouble, she married Zhang Hu from Zhangjia Village.
, life was going pretty well.
Her brother Chunfeng inherited his father's legacy and was also a scholar. He was appreciated by the merchant lady and got married. Now her sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen. Her brother's hands were black and he was so thin that she didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Yes, go in and talk." He said, leading his father and brother into the yard.
"My father-in-law, please wash your hands and eat a warm meal." Aunt Zhang stood up awkwardly. She was a little afraid of scholars, so she ran into the kitchen embarrassedly.
Chun Xiu looked at this elegant and warm courtyard and couldn't help but marvel, "Is this really the city lord who asked you to live in it? We have never lived in such a nice courtyard before."
Aunt Zhang was holding two bowls of thick potato and bean sprout porridge, "You have suffered along the way. Eat something quickly to warm your body."
Chun Xiu and Chun Feng, father and son, looked at the sticky grain porridge and couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts, "Grain is precious nowadays, so it's too thick for us..."
"Dad, there is no shortage of food in Weiyang City. Huzi and I are called...'double-earners'. There are more than a hundred kilograms of food in the kitchen alone. Food and even vegetables will be distributed at the end of the month. Our family
People can survive the winter with enough food!”
Neither father nor son believed their ears. Chunfeng asked in shock: "How much? More than a hundred kilograms? Our family has it. Will it happen again at the end of the month?"
Only then did Chunhua have a smile on her face, "Yes, dad, brother, I asked you to come here to live a good life!"
"Chunhua, my father and your brother are both scholars. We are not strong enough, and we are beaten and scolded when we work in the fields. We are useless in this troubled world. We are here to drag you down."
