Chapter 127 Departure

Before the first month was over, Su Qingma left Fengting Town with her family and her aunt.

It was deep in the night and the cold wind was still blowing. Everyone wrapped their heads and faces and looked back from the ox cart. Fengting Town disappeared from sight bit by bit.

Everyone felt uncomfortable. Hongxiu's eyes were swollen in tears, one was family and the other was newlywed husband, and both of them made it difficult for her to choose. When Su Qingma saw her crying in Dajiang's arms, she felt a little regretful about the couple in her heart.

I thought that she would marry Da Jiang, and the family would have support for the young and old. Da Jiang, as the only son in the family, should not be drawn again. Unexpectedly, the upper limit of the recruitment age this time was raised from 40 to 50. Da Jiang's two males must have two draws.

Seeing that she kept looking back, Su Qingliu patted her and comforted her: "No one would have thought that such a thing would happen. She married Da Jiang, and Da Jiang and Da Aunt were both kind to her. She was much better than marrying other families."

After hearing this, Su's mother hugged the twins and nodded. She looked towards the front of the car and whispered: "Your father is even worse."

Su Qingma's family is home, and there is no one in Su's mother's family. She is her husband and children. Although she has lived in Fengting Town for most of her life, she does not have much pain of parting.

Su Qingliu is Yaya's father and her parents-in-law are gone, and her husband's family is gone, so she follows her parents' family. Needless to say, Su Qingmu is the only father. Only Su has a deep relationship with Fengting Town. He returned to the town from Qiaotou Village yesterday, and his eyes were swollen.

After hearing Su's mother's words, the two sisters looked at the front of the car together and stopped talking.

The ox cart was swaying, and the twins were dizzy and drowsy. After shaking on the road for a while, they fell asleep again. Yaya and Lu Xiaobao slept soundly in their mother's arms. But Su's father had never spoken since he started the road, and he was rushing the train outside with all his heart and responsibilities, without saying a word.

Su Qingma and others didn't bother him, probably he was feeling uncomfortable.

At this time, the group was driving three ox carts and walking in the unknown night road.

There was a ox cart in Su Qingmai's shop, plus Su Dahu. A few days ago, Su Qingmai bought another one, three cars and three families. Su Dahu drove a cart loading food and luggage, his uncle drove a cart, and Su's father drove a cart, and the three ox carts left Fengting Town and went straight to the south.

There are illuminated lanterns hanging on the front of the car, which are bright and dark in the dark night, shining on the uncertain road ahead.

By dawn, she had seen a pair of cattle and carriages on the road. The cattle carriage was swaying, and the carriage was speeding past. Su Qing's eyes were shining. She also wanted a carriage, which was fast. The cattle carriage was so shaking that she wanted to get down and walk twice and compete with the old cow.

However, it is difficult to buy horses and the goal is too big. It is better to have a gray ox cart, ordinary and unobtrusive.

Everyone sat on the ox cart for several hours, and their legs were numb and the ox was very tired. After several children woke up, they found a dense forest and drove the ox in. Everyone got out of the car and rested.

Su's father felt sorry for the cow, so he unloaded the cabin as soon as he got off the car, took it to feed it water, and then led it to find fresh forage to eat.

When Su's father and others brought the cow back, everyone had already sat on the ground, and Su's mother, aunt and others had already cooked hot food for everyone in clay pots.

Everyone ate briefly with their own bowls and chopsticks.

Su Qingye fed Xiaobao and saw that he was interested in going downstairs to feel the warmth of the earth, so he asked Qing Xingqingyang to support him and take him to play.

The eldest aunt's grandson, Jin Hai, was one year younger than the twins. He was not familiar with the children at first, but he got together and soon became familiar with each other. Seeing that the twins were carrying Xiaobao, Jin Hai held Yaya very sensible. The four children gathered together and started playing on the grass.

Su Qingma occasionally threw one or two glances, and her heart was filled with sorrow.

He slapped his head and said he wanted to take everyone out to avoid war. When he came out, he saw that there were five children in a group of fifteen people. There were only four male laborers.

The three ox carts were replaced by the driver and there was no labor to change them. Later, Su's father had to teach her, Su's mother, Su Qingliu and others how to drive the ox cart.

She turned her head and looked at her little cousin Qixia again...

I was not familiar with her at first, but now I see that she is quick-witted and takes good care of Jin Hai. I just helped take care of Yaya, and I was only two years apart with Hongxiu's sister-in-law. At this time, seeing that they are getting along, they look like they should be able to get along. They look sensible. If there are people in the team who don't know anything, they will have a headache along the way.

Aunt Su sighed when she saw Su Qingma looking at the children in a daze.

He said, "Qingma, although people leave their hometowns, don't worry. There are so many people who have hands and feet, but they can't starve to death. I heard that there are many rivers and lakes in the south, and there is no shortage of water. Grain is abundant every year. When we arrive, we will work hard to open up land and keep the land well for a few years. We will always be able to eat enough. As long as people live, we will have a future. We are afraid that our lives will be gone, and the rest of the people will not survive."

Su Qingma smiled at Aunt Su.

With so many people, both old and young, she didn't know if she could take them safely to a better place than Fengting Town and give them a better life than Fengting Town.

She was unsure. This era was an era she had never experienced, and there were countless unknowns.

Su's mother looked at her and knew her pressure. She smiled and said, "That's right, there are so many people, what are you afraid of? There are several big knives in the car. As long as people are alive, we can live our lives."

Su's father, uncle and others also said a lot to comfort her. They said that they could still be together now. If they were still in Fengting Town and were dragged to the barracks, they might soon lose their bodies. Now they live a day, they would be a day of profit.

Seeing that they didn’t have much sorrow to leave their hometown, Su Qingma gradually became clear. No matter what, let’s live first. Only when they live will there be a future.

After the cow was full and drunk, everyone decided to continue on the road.

Su Qingma asked Su's father, uncle and Dahu to teach a few girls how to drive a ox cart, so that everyone could get on the front of the cart. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to just let one person drive the cart.

Su Qingma sat next to Su Dahu and learned from him how to drive the ox cart.

"... The cow has a gentle temper, but sometimes he is very stubborn. Don't rush it hard, the more you rush it, the less you don't walk... Pull the rope back, and then it stops... If you want it to turn left, pull the rope on the left, say 'le', and say 'da' to the right. The cow is very smart, it can understand..."

Su Qingma is very insightful, but in just one hour, she can drive the ox cart very well.

I feel very happy.

When Su Dahu saw her smiling, he also smiled.

He said, "Qingma, don't be so stressed. Although there are old and young people in our group, there are many children and women, I will protect you. I stay alone and stay with you. I am very happy and feel like home. If you have any difficulties along the way, please solve them together. Don't bear them alone. You know that if your father and the others stay in Fengting Town, they will go to die. Now we have been hiding out. It's a day to live, and it's all profitable, right?"

Su Qingma looked at him, smiled with her lips pursed, and nodded.
