Mr. Gu Liu returned home with his sons and asked them to bring their wives and children to the main room.

The old man of the Gu family is the sixth child, forty-nine this year, with three sons. He lost his wife at an early age. The eldest son, Gu Dahai, is thirty-one years old this year. He married a woman named Jiang, whose parents live in a town fifty miles away from here, and they have had little contact for many years.

On weekdays, the eldest son went into the mountains to hunt, and Jiang did embroidery at home to supplement the family income. The couple had three sons. The eldest son, Gu Ji, was fourteen years old this year. He usually studied in a private school in the town, and happened to be at home during the busy farming season holiday.

The second son, Gu Ru, is ten years old this year, and the youngest son, Gu Yi, is eight years old this year.

The second son, Gu Dajiang, is 29 years old this year. He married a woman named Miao. Her maiden home is in Miao Village, ten miles away from the town. Gu Dajiang works in a silver shop in the town on weekdays, so he rented a small courtyard in the town. On the one hand, he takes care of Gu Dajiang, and on the other hand, he takes care of the children in the family who are studying in the town. In addition, he usually takes on some laundry work for maids and old women in wealthy families to supplement the family income.

They also have three sons. The eldest, Gu Xiang, is twelve years old this year. He usually goes to school in town with Gu Ji, the eldest son of the eldest family. The second and third sons are twins, Gu An and Gu Le, who are both six years old this year.

The third son, Gu Dahe, is 23 years old this year and married Wen, whose family runs a carpentry business in the town.

Gu Laosan knew a little about medicine, knew some medicinal herbs, and also learned some carpentry from Yue's family. Whenever people from nearby villages had a headache or fever, or if a family needed to repair furniture, doors or windows, they would come to him.

Taking advantage of her mother's family background, Wen was often able to take on some wood polishing or small parts making work for idle women in the village. She made a profit from the difference while taking care of the children and the household together with her eldest sister-in-law Jiang.

The couple has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is named Gu Fu, who is five years old this year, and the son Gu Kang, who is three years old this year.

The family had been doing well, but disasters have hit them one after another in recent months. First, the eldest daughter-in-law became pregnant again after many years, but because she didn't check it, she had a miscarriage during the busy farming season. She is now bedridden. Then, the second daughter-in-law was fired by the employer. Now it seems that the employer must have received the news in advance and the whole family fled the famine.

Then the little granddaughter fell into the well again and has not woken up since then. Now there is another war and the whole family has to flee famine. Mr. Gu Liu was thinking about all kinds of worries and didn't even notice that the chimney was extinguished.

Soon, the whole family gathered in the main hall. Gu Ji helped Gu Dahai put his wife (mother) on a chair. Others also took turns to find a place to sit or stand beside the elders after Gu Liuye's luggage.

When Gu Dahai and his companions went back to each room to call people, they had already roughly explained what had happened. Everyone in the room had a sad face. Jiang was the first to speak: "Dad, it's all because of my useless daughter-in-law. She caused our family to lose an heir. Now she is in such a poor condition that she will definitely be a burden on the way to escape. You should take your family to the north. I volunteer to stay at home..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Master Gu Liu: "What nonsense are you talking about, eldest brother's wife, don't worry, our Gu family will never abandon our family members when disaster strikes, don't mention these words again."

"I called you here today to discuss a plan, whether to go north with the tribe or hide in the mountains for the time being."

"First, the wife of the eldest family needs to recuperate and cannot be delayed on the way to escape the famine. Second, Fu'er of the third family is still in a coma and needs to be careful on the road. Third, a large number of refugees are heading north. King Li of Zhongzhou may not take them in, so it may not be smooth to go to Beijing and the north."

"I called you here to listen to your opinions. Our home must be in good order, and no one should be left behind."

When the daughters-in-law heard this, their eyes became red. Jiang was so moved that she shed tears. Wen also hugged her daughter tightly in her arms.

Gu Fu, who was being held in his arms at this time, was also deeply moved when he heard these words. He silently thought to himself, this family is so nice.

A few days ago, little Gu Fu sneaked out to play when the adults were not paying attention. He ran to the well to cool off and accidentally fell into the public well in the village. Fortunately, the villagers living near the well felt it was hot and came out to fetch fresh cool water, so they found him and rescued him.

Unfortunately, the rescued Gu Fu had a different core and became Gu Fu who traveled through time from the end of the world. Maybe it was because his soul was too powerful and his body was young and weak, Gu Fu had been in a coma for the past few days.

The memories received were also full of love from the family for the original owner. Judging from the memories, I should have come to ancient times, and the current family members do not favor boys over girls at all.

And because she was the only girl in the family, the elders and brothers all doted on the original owner. Every time Xiu Mu went to school, her brother would bring candy figures, snacks, and small hairbands from the town. The brothers at home would also give her any new toys they had.
