Mrs. Chen hurriedly pushed the paper bag back, "Just come and take a look. Whatever you are carrying, take it back quickly."

Shanzi's mother pushed back persistently, "As an aunt, what's wrong with giving Xiao Fei some brown sugar? This is nothing. Please stop pushing me. I won't enter your house again."

"Xiao Fei, please stay in the back room. I'll go take a look."

Shan Zima opened the curtain and walked in.

Gu Fei lay on the kang, raised her face and smiled at her, "Aunt Huang."

"Hey, look at this girl Xiao Fei, she still recognizes me after not seeing her for so many years. No wonder Aunt Huang is thinking about you."

"Is the injury feeling better?"

Gu Fei nodded.

Shan Zi's mother said with concern: "I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow. Does your injury matter?"

Mrs. Chen followed up, "There is nothing I can do. I said we should wait a few days until she recovers from her injuries before leaving. The village chief has already been decided, so it's not easy to postpone."

"Anyway, we will either take the car or her father and several brothers will take turns carrying it."

Shan Zi's mother said hurriedly: "When it comes to escaping from famine, I really don't have a backbone in my heart."

"Shanzi's father is gone again. As orphans and widowers, we don't know what to do if something happens on the road."

Chen's eyes flashed, and he understood the purpose of her visit, and said with a smile: "What's the point? You are not going on your own, you are all walking together. If you encounter anything, everyone must take care of it."

Shanzi's mother said hurriedly: "I heard that not many families are willing to leave, except the village chief, your three brothers, and Mr. Zhang's family."

"We all want to survive this winter and wait until spring next year. If there is rain, we can grow food. As long as we can grow food, we have nothing to worry about."

Mrs. Chen asked, "That's right. I originally said I would leave when spring begins, but my Xiao Fei said everything revives in spring, and bugs and other things have come out. The plague is most likely to occur, so we have to leave quickly."

Shan Zima's eyes flashed, it turned out that Xiao Fei came from the Hou Mansion and was knowledgeable.

"By the way, have you made up your mind?"

Shanzi's mother nodded, "I've discussed it with Shanzi, let's go."

"I was thinking, your head and the village chief are the two most knowledgeable and understanding people in the village. If you want to leave, then we will follow you."

Gu Fei laughed on the kang, this Shanzi's mother is really a sensible person.

If you don’t know what to do, just watch what those smart people do and just follow them. This is the wisdom of life.

Mrs. Chen patted her hand and said, "Don't worry too much. My old man even hired a guide to follow him. He said he was a former escort and had been to the south."

Shanzi's mother was overjoyed, "Really? It will cost a lot of money to hire such a person."

Mrs. Chen smiled enigmatically and said nothing.

Shanzi's mother whispered: "I bought a mule cart. When the time comes, I will follow your family."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Okay, just follow me. There's nothing wrong with my family. There are just a lot of kids. If you encounter someone who can't climb the slope, or someone who needs help, just shout out."

This is what Shan Zi's mother was waiting for, "Then I won't be polite to you then."

The two women laughed.

The morning of departure arrived in the blink of an eye.

At about nine o'clock Mrs. Chen got up and called all the family members one by one.

"Hurry up, pack all the quilts and everything and get on the carriage."

While Gu Fei was still dreaming, the quilt on her body was swept away by her impatient mother.

Lanzhi pushed her desperately, "Xiao Fei, get up and get going."
