The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

The Jiang family was originally arranged to live under three large straw huts, but all those who were able to do the work, both men and women, were hired away, and then, only the old, weak and sick were left in the family.

One of the old ladies said as soon as she sat down, "If we had known we'd have to flee famine again, forty years ago... no, it should have been forty-one years ago, we should have stayed in Dengping County. Look how kind the people in Dengping County are. It was a good choice when Yingen and his wife insisted on staying here with their children."

Grandpa Jiang Er said, "It's been so many years, and Yingen and the others may not even be in Dengping County."

"Yes," another old man agreed. "Things weren't going well in Dengping County back then. Maybe they fled further south. It's just that we separated from them here."

"I don't know if it's a good idea for Shengcai to stay with them. Shengcai was not even one year old at the time, he was so tiny." Another old lady said.

"Yingen and his wife are his second uncle and aunt, and we gave all Jingen's money to Yingen so that he could raise Shengcai to adulthood. It is impossible for him to be bad to Shengcai." Another old man said.

"Forty years have passed. I guess he has made a fortune, married and had children. Maybe he has become a grandfather already." Someone laughed.

"Yeah, yeah." The others also laughed.

At this moment, Jiang Shengcai didn't know that all his clansmen had fled here to escape the famine and were in Dengping County.

Jiang Shengcai was at home, and together with Sun, Tian, and Xiao Fushan, they had prepared a lot of food and clothes, planning to have them sent to the porridge shed and have the yamen runners there distribute them to the people fleeing famine.

Jiang Ningning originally wanted to help with the preparations, but Jiang Shengcai and the other three felt that she now had an additional medical course to learn and would have too much to do, so they didn't allow her to take care of this matter.

Jiang Ningning thought that Jiang Shengcai and the other three were well prepared for this matter, so she naturally didn't care about it and went back to reading medical books.

I have to finish reading it quickly, show my medical skills as soon as possible, and cure Mr. Ji's leg as soon as possible.

In the village, the third branch of the Jiang family, Jiang Facai's family, was still building their thatched house.

There is no one to help. There are only a few people in their family, and none of them are knowledgeable. The progress is slow. It is estimated that it will take a year to complete it.

Seeing that the materials were running out, Jiang Facai took his eldest son Jiang Dayong to the town to buy some.

As a result, I heard that all the materials in the town were sold to the rich people in the town for large-scale construction. There was no more material left in the town anyway, so they could go to the county to have a look.

Jiang Facai and Jiang Dayong had no choice but to take a ox cart and slowly come to the county.

They were reluctant to ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Once they did, it would be like riding in an oxcart countless times.

When we got to the town, the shop selling materials said they did have materials, and they were new, but they were blocked on the road to the porridge stalls in the north of the county.

There are many large-scale construction projects in the county now, and many things are needed. Things that are not available in the county can only be imported from other places, so there are more vehicles traveling through that road.

In addition, it is the main base for resettling people fleeing famine, so the road is blocked again and needs to be cleared.

The materials won’t arrive at the shop for a while.

He said that either Jiang Facai and his friends could go to the north of the county to get the materials themselves today, or they could come to the shop to buy the materials tomorrow, and that the materials would definitely arrive at the shop tomorrow.

Jiang Facai and Jiang Dayong thought that they had already come to the county, and if they came again tomorrow, they would have to spend money on a ox cart ride, so it would be better for them to go to the north of the county to get it themselves.

The people in the material shop saw that they said they would pick it up themselves. After they paid, they gave them a bill and asked them to take the bill to the vehicle they parked there. The person in charge of the vehicle would pick up the goods for them according to the bill.

After Jiang Facai and Jiang Dayong received the order, they came to the porridge stall in the north of the county.

But before they could find the material shop's cart among the large group of oxen and horses, they saw several elderly people who had fled the famine pointing at them and saying to each other:

"Look, doesn't that person look a lot like Yin Gen?"

"It really does look like him. Why don't we go over and ask? We separated from Yingen and the others in this county. Maybe he really is from Yingen's family and is related to our Jiang family."

Jiang Facai frowned when he saw those people pointing at him and talking about money and the Jiang family.

His father's name is really Jiang Yingen.

He also thought that although he was born in Zaoshu Village, he had heard from his parents that they fled from the north to escape famine, and his ancestors and clan were actually in the north.

When he was fleeing famine, his eldest and second brothers had already been born.

At that time, my eldest brother was over one year old, and my second brother Jiang Shengcai was only a few months old.

It was the second year after his parents brought his elder and second brothers to settle in Zaoshu Village that his mother became pregnant with him.

Jiang Facai thought, these people also fled from the north, could they really be from his tribe?

Grandpa Jiang and the others had already walked over and asked, "Brother, I have a question for you. Is your last name Jiang?"

Jiang Facai said: "Yes, my last name is Jiang."

Grandpa Jiang Er and the others were immediately delighted and asked hurriedly, "Do you know someone named Jiang Yingen?"

Before Jiang Facai could say anything, Jiang Dayong said angrily, "That's my grandfather. Who are you? How do you know my grandfather's name?"

Jiang Facai had no choice but to say, "That's my father."

"Ah, so you are Yingen's son! That's great! No wonder you look so much like Yingen." Grandpa Jiang Er and the others were even more excited.

"We are from your clan. I am your cousin Jiang Tugen, the second oldest in the clan." Grandpa Jiang said quickly.

"I'm your cousin Jiang Shugen, the fifth child in the clan.

"I am your aunt."

"I'm……"

Everyone introduced themselves enthusiastically. They kept saying happily: "Child, you are so lucky! We used to hold you in our arms."

"No, that's my eldest brother, my name is Fa Cai." Jiang Fa Cai naturally believed that these people were from his own tribe.

"So Yin Gen gave birth to another child. Great! Great! Then Fa Cai, how are your parents? Oh, and how is your cousin Sheng Cai?"

Jiang Facai was about to reply that his parents were dead, but he unexpectedly heard someone mention his cousin Shengcai. Naturally, he frowned again: "What cousin? Jiang Shengcai is my second brother."

"What do you mean, your second brother?" Grandpa Jiang and the others were also stunned. "Shengcai is your cousin, the child of your uncle Jiang Jingen.

Your uncle died of illness, and your aunt contracted a disease on the way to escape famine and also died. Your father and mother said that they would take good care of Shengcai, who was only a few months old at the time, so our clan gave Shengcai to your parents to take care of.

All of your uncle and aunt's savings of nearly two hundred taels of silver were given to your parents, just so that they could raise your cousin well.

There's no way it could be your second brother. Your parents and I separated in this county. We returned to our hometown in the north, but your parents stayed here with your eldest brother Changcai and your cousin Shengcai."
