Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Father Liu and his friends were sitting outside and heard a lot of new things.

The stories outside are also very interesting.

In the end, all you hear are some heroic stories.

Yes, who doesn’t like to listen to heroic stories about young men and women’s love?

In this ancient teahouse, every detail is full of stories.

Every tea drinker is the starter of a story, and every tea tasting is a journey of the soul.

Here, people can temporarily forget the troubles of life, indulge in the fragrance of tea and stories, and enjoy the tranquility and harmony.

However, Father Liu and his group are indeed leaving this brief harmony and starting a new chapter in their lives.

"Let's go, it's almost time. Go earlier and come back earlier."

Father Liu called the waiter to come and settle the bill. Drinking tea is much more expensive than eating a meal. Yet, for just this small amount of food, he paid more than five taels of silver.

After coming out, Liu Caixia sighed: "Oh, it's so expensive, it's the same in every dynasty. There are poor people and there are rich people. There are low-spending people and there are high-spending people. The class division is too obvious!"

"Forget it, let's talk less outside."

Father Liu reminded Liu Caixia with a smile not to talk nonsense in front of me, lest she accidentally say something she shouldn't and get into trouble.

It’s better to talk less here. There are so many people coming out of the restaurant and teahouse.

People always talk a lot, and trouble comes from the mouth. In case some people hear it, they'd better keep a low profile for now.

"Let's go! We don't know if it will go smoothly later. Don't leave it too late. If that happens, we won't be able to go into the city and stay at a fellow villager's house. Now we have the conditions. If we can stay at an inn, let's stay there. We can all have a good rest."

"Dad is right, let's go quickly. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return. I really don't want to stay overnight."

Liu Caixia hurriedly pulled Liu Xiaolu to the front.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was an ox cart parked next to the gate. A man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties was standing next to the ox, and three men and two women were standing behind the ox cart.

Father Liu didn't think too much about it. He walked straight to the soldiers guarding the city and said hello: "Sir, we went to the county government office today to complete the settlement procedures. We are waiting here for someone to take us to the village to report to the village chief. May I ask who is taking us there?"

Liu's father handed over five copper coins. The official looked at Liu's father's clothes, took the copper coins, put them in his arms and said, "Someone just told me to come with me."

"Okay, thank you."

The officer brought Liu's father to the side of the ox cart and said to the man in front, "Village Chief Wan, these are the people who have settled in your village. You can take them back."

Village Chief Wan looked at Father Liu, then looked at Liu Caixia and others who were waiting on the side, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Wei Yayi, I will take it back to the village and make arrangements."

The officer nodded and left. Father Liu took the initiative to greet Village Chief Wan: "Village Chief Wan..."

Village Chief Wan: "Okay, follow me. Women and little girls can ride in the bullock cart. A bullock cart can only seat five or six people at most, which is just the right number. Men, follow me. I'll talk to you as we walk."

"Ok."

"Caixia, take them to the back to ride on the bullock cart with the aunts and build good relationships with them."

"Got it, Dad."

Although the village chief said so, the two women behind them did not get on the ox cart, but walked behind the team. Liu Caixia went there and took the initiative to greet the two aunts and introduced them to them.

The two aunts looked quite young. Upon asking, I found out that they were the new wives of two of the three men traveling with us. They had just gotten married. This time they came to the city to bring their new wives to the county town to buy some New Year's goods and to go back to their parents' home on the second day of the New Year.

The two men were brothers from different families, which means their fathers were brothers, so they were cousins ​​in their generation.

The man's name is Wan Zhongcheng and Wan Zhongliang.

He is a four-generation relative of the village chief's family. The surname Wan is considered a big surname in their village. There are about 800 people in the whole village, and more than 100 of them are surnamed Wan. Families with other surnames have at most 50 to 60 people.

It can be considered a large integrated village. Now with the addition of Liu's father and his group, there are more surnames. However, their village is backed by mountains on one side and a river on the other. It is quite large and close to the county town. Overall, it is still wealthy.

Father Liu and Village Chief Wan walked in front, Village Chief Wan was pulling the ox cart, and the others were following behind the cart.

After they left the city and walked for a while, the village chief Wan said, "Zhongliang, you drive the ox cart. I will follow them for a while. I will take over your place later."

The man named Wan Zhongliang came over: "Okay, Third Uncle."

Wang Zhongliang got on the ox cart and said to the people behind him, "You guys come on board."

Two women climbed onto the oxcart and sat on one side.

"Aunt, you guys should get on too. There are so many people and the oxcart is not moving very fast. They can keep up."

"Okay, okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome. From now on, we're all from the same village. I'm from the Zhongliang family, and this is from the Zhongcheng family. We're sisters-in-law."

Liu Caixia didn't know that people at that time called each other like that. She didn't think she couldn't even say her own name on TV, so she just had to bite the bullet and introduce herself: "My name is Liu Caixia, and this is my daughter Liu Xiaolu. His father was a live-in son-in-law, and he got sick and died while fleeing famine. This is Aunt Tian."

I really didn't know how to introduce people, so after a few casual words, Liu Caixia turned the topic to the situation in the village.

However, the two new brides did not know much. Everyone was familiar with this information and could only chat about this and that.

Father Liu was walking and chatting with the village chief, and the village chief must know more.

"Our Xiushui Village is a big village, with a total of 151 households and 826 people. Together with Qingshui Village, Xishui Village and Yuanshui Village, the four villages form a town. There is also a town to the east, where we have a market on the 1st, 4th and 7th of every month.

If you don’t want to go to the county town, there are grocery stores in the town where you can buy some daily necessities. You can also take your crops or game to the market to buy or exchange for other things.”

"I heard about Xiushui Village when I was in the county government office. It is a blessing for our family to be able to go to Xiushui Village."

"I heard from the head of the household department of the county government that there are people behind you. Did you also buy that low-lying land?"

"Yes, there are many of us. We saw that reed marsh and lowland from afar. It's quite large and the price is not expensive, so we bought it. We will find a way to improve it in the future. When I was in my hometown, I raised fish for a living. Now that we are here, the water is so convenient, and it is more convenient for us to continue raising fish."

"But we are close to the river, and there are many large and small rivers here. Fishermen can often catch a lot of fish, and the price of fish in the county town is not very expensive."

After listening to him, Father Liu realized that he had neglected this point. There are so many rivers and many fishermen here, and the fish in the rivers are enough to feed the nearby villagers.

Now we can only wait and see how it develops.
