Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 162 Reunion

"That's good, that's good! You will have to stay in your hometown for a few days recently. If you have any difficulties, just tell your brother." Captain Huang took Hou Minyou's hand, patted it, and said with a smile.

"No difficulty, no difficulty." Hou Minyou waved his hands repeatedly.

“It’s good that there are no difficulties. But my brother, you are now out of the sea of suffering, but the elders and fellow villagers in your hometown are still suffering.

I hope that when you get to Qin Province, you can say a few good words to the Yanhuang Alliance, and that the caravans come to our Hedi Township more often.

Many of our fellow villagers in Hedi Township have run out of food. We don’t know how to celebrate the New Year. It’s so difficult!” Chief Huang sighed while holding Hou Minyou’s hand.

"Cuckoo!"

As Captain Huang was speaking, Hei Niu's stomach began to growl, and the sound was quite loud in the quiet yard.

Everyone's eyes fell on Hei Niu at the same time, and the little guy was so scared that he hid behind Li Cuihua.

"Haha! Brother Minyou, this is your baby, right? It seems that the baby has suffered a lot during this period.

Liuzi, go back and get five pounds of cornmeal for brother Minyou later.

Brother Minyou, take good care of yourself these days, I will see you off when you leave." Chief Huang stood up, patted Hou Minyou on the shoulder, and left with a group of lackeys.

"Oh my God! I was so scared. When did this idiot become so easy to talk to? His face was smiling like a flower." After watching the man leave, the brother-in-law's wife quickly closed the door, came back, held her chest and sighed.

"Speak less, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." Li Tiancheng glared at his wife and said.

"Oh! Look at my mouth." Li Tiancheng's wife carefully looked at the surrounding walls and quickly covered her mouth.

"Boss, why didn't you tell us just now that our food was snatched away by those two heartless people? You should let Captain Huang give them a good lesson." Li Cuihua said indignantly as she looked at Hou Minyou who was sitting on the stool in a daze.

"Oh! It's all difficult. Besides, we are all relatives, so we should not do anything to harm others.

Tianyang and Tianmin have indeed helped us a lot during this period. Now that we are gone, we will not be able to pay back the food we owe, so we can just use that food to pay for it." Hou Minyou said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Damn Pingmei and Dalan, they did a good business, and they only borrowed less than 20 kilograms of bran and a little salt from us.

Now they have robbed us of ten kilograms of cornmeal and so many spoiled eggs. How shameless!" Li Cuihua cursed loudly while slapping her thigh while sitting on the steps.

"Okay, stop scolding me. Since you don't feel tired, just consider it as doing good deeds for your uncle and aunt." Hou Minyou said as he tapped the cane in his hand.

"Hmph! Their family has also sold their daughter. When I go to Qin Province, they will expect me to take care of their daughter." Li Cuihua said angrily.

"Sister, my family has never offended you. Tiancheng and I have taken good care of your family.

When Er Ni arrives in Qin Province, you must help her find a good family, and don't let the broker sell Er Ni to a dirty place." This was what the brother-in-law's wife had in mind, and now she quickly said it out.

"Ermiao, we will remember all the kindness you and Tiancheng have shown to our family. If the person we meet is the right one in Qin Province, I will ask my eldest brother and Heiwa to take care of Erni." Hou Min nodded and promised the two.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. If we really couldn't make ends meet, we wouldn't want to sell our children." Li Tiancheng looked excited.

"Sister, brother-in-law, it's almost noon. You guys should eat with our family for the next three days!" The brother-in-law's wife said with a smile on her face, holding Li Cuihua's hand.

"Ermiao, your family is also in financial difficulty. The food in this backpack contains the food that Tiancheng gave to my mother and me to eat on the road. I'll give it to you! It will be our family's food for the next few days." Li Cuihua grabbed her sister-in-law's skinny arm and took out five pounds of bran from the backpack.

"Hey!"

The brother's wife did not refuse, took the food, and the two of them went into the kitchen together.

Originally, Hou Min didn't take Huang Baochang's words of sending food seriously, but he didn't expect that Huang Baochang actually sent someone to deliver five pounds of cornmeal in the afternoon, which made everyone very happy.

Hou Min was so determined to die that he sold all his bedding. At night, the whole family could only huddle in the firewood pile in the kitchen.

In this way, the family spent three days in Hedi Township and finally got on the carriage returning to Jinyintang.

"Tiancheng, Ermiao, you two should go back! If we are doing well in Qin Province, we will ask the Yanhuang League to send you things. You must live well." Li Cuihua took her eldest brother and sister-in-law who came to see her off, and waved to them with red eyes.

……

Just when Hou Minyou and his family got on a carriage back to Qin Province, Hou Yangmin got on the carriage of the Yanhuang League and headed for the Central Plains.

It turned out that it had been snowing continuously in Qin Province during this period, and the refugees who came to Qin Province described the Central Plains as a hell on earth.

Hou Yangmin was really worried about his brother's safety. It happened that Jinyintang had a convoy heading to Central Plains, so he got on it.

As for why he didn't take the train, it was of course dangerous. He would be alone after getting off the train, and his safety was not guaranteed. Although traveling by motorcade would be a bit painful, it was safer!

So this time, only Hou Yangmin went to Central Plains. No one else went with him, and Hou Xiaoge naturally did not join in the fun.

Sitting in a carriage in the northwest in winter, with the temperature below ten degrees Celsius and the northwest wind blowing, the thought of it makes people retreat, but Hou Xiaoge would not seek such punishment!

Moreover, Hou Xiaoge has always felt that he is a fake northerner. When winter comes, he is too lazy to move and just wants to hibernate.

After Hou Yangmin left, Hou Xiaoge would close the stall after helping his family and then return to his space to enjoy life.

……

The winter wind in the northwest is howling, and it is not easy to do business, but the profits are huge, so naturally you have to take advantage of it.

The heavy snow that fell all night last night has stopped, and more than a hundred mule and horse carts are moving slowly on the official road in the snowy day.

Hou Yangmin and two disciples of the Yanhuang League were huddled in the carriage, wrapped tightly up. They jumped out from time to time to move around for fear of freezing.

"Li Si, Wang Wu, come, brothers, take a sip to drive away the cold."

Hou Yangmin took out a military water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, then handed it to the two men and said.

"Great! After taking a sip of wine, I feel much better." They each took a sip of the wine and smacked their lips, their faces turning red instantly.

"Brother Yangmin, you are so good to your brothers. If I had a brother like you, I would wake up laughing in my sleep at night!" Several people huddled in the hemp carriage chatted and said with laughter.

"We all grew up from the same mother. Before they passed away, my father and mother told me to take good care of my younger brothers.

Now the third son has been drafted, and the second son is not taken care of. When I go down in the future, I won’t be able to explain to them!" Hou Yangmin said, squinting his eyes and looking at the black spot in the distance.

"Oh! I really envy you brothers."

"Brother Li Si, look ahead and see if that's the convoy of your Yanhuang Alliance." The black spot grew bigger, and Hou Yangmin sat up.

"Oh! Really. You know what, the dragon head flag of our Yanhuang League looks mighty and majestic.

When we get closer, I'll see which group of brothers are escorting us, and whether the journey is peaceful." Wang Wu jumped out of the car and said with a smile.

After a while, the two teams of carriages met. Hou Yangmin also came to the front to see and asked about the situation in his hometown.

"Oh my! This is such a coincidence.

Brother Yangmin, come with me and see if this man is your brother! "The person in charge of the large convoy coming back from the Central Plains was a host-level leader, who enthusiastically pulled Hou Yangmin towards the carriage behind.

"Big brother?"

"Second brother!"
