Chapter 238: Father Huang's Decision
When it comes to moving, the whole family naturally needs to discuss it. Hu Biao, who came this time, saw the current situation in Linyi, was indeed worried about the safety of the Huang family. After some consideration, he made the decision to relocate his family.
Although Hu Biao knew that northern Shaanxi was also very hard, Hu Biao felt that it was at least safe. With the funds provided by Hu Biao, the Huang family who moved to northern Shaanxi would not live too hard. On the contrary, Huang Ersun's younger brother and sister can still have the opportunity to receive education.
After chatting with Huang Ersun’s father, Hu Biao temporarily left the time for the Huang family and stayed in the yard and chatted with Qin Tianyou and others. After hearing Hu Biao’s decision, Qin Tianyou also said unexpectedly: “Why should I move to northern Shaanxi?”
"Because there is the safest place! The most important thing is that the Huang family will not be bullied if they go there!"
"But is the territory of the Eighth Route Army? If you let the superiors know, I'm afraid they will think about it?"
"This is my own business, what does it have to do with them? Besides, this place is closer to northern Shaanxi, so I can't take their family to the southwest, right? That would take a lot of time? Let's fight next!"
Facing Qin Tianyou's worries, Hu Biao also explained briefly. Compared to others, he felt that the Eighth Route Army was too weak, but Hu Biao knew that the future of the Eighth Route Army was unimaginable. At this moment, northern Shaanxi would be safer than the mountain city in the southwest.
For the Japanese army at this time, although the Eighth Route Army, which went deep behind enemy lines to fight guerrilla warfare, caused them a lot of trouble. But for most Japanese generals, the main force of the national army was their main trouble.
The frontal battlefield is basically dominated by the national army, while the battlefield behind enemy lines is the world of the Eighth Route Army. One south and one north, different battlefield environments also determine the different combat methods of the two anti-Japanese war forces. But who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army was rising rapidly?
While Hu Biao was waiting for the Huang family to make a decision, Huang Ershuan's father also called his family together and told him about the purpose of Hu Biao's trip. Looking at the ocean piled on the table, Huang Dashuan, who was already a father, was also extremely surprised.
"Dad, is this second child's pension?"
"Well! Chief Hu is very kind and specially brought people to send Erwa's ashes home. But now there are wars everywhere in the city, and he feels it is not safe for us to stay here. The most important thing is that our Erwa died to protect the presidential palace.
If the Japanese who entered the city knew about this, our family would suffer. The Chief Hu meant that he hoped to send our family to northern Shaanxi. In addition, he also said that he could let the three wives and four wives go to school. You are the eldest son, what do you mean?"
"Dad, why did you move to northern Shaanxi? I heard that this place is poorer than ours?"
"What do you know? The northern Shaanxi is poor, but the team in northern Shaanxi will not harm the people. If you really want to send you to the south, how can you go like this far? Chief Hu is kind and righteous, but you can still pick and pick up the people?"
After scolding his eldest son, looking at his wife who was still crying, Huang's father could only continue, "Damn, don't be sad, this is the life of our second child! Think about the young people who were arrested in other villages to join the army, how many people can come back alive?
If our Erwa hadn't been the guard of the high-ranking official, I'm afraid there would be no money for the life-long service. The person who is the chief personally sent the ashes back, we should be grateful, at least to let Erwa return to his roots. What do you think about this?"
"Master, please make your own decision!"
Knowing that sadness is useless, the son who has turned into ashes cannot survive. As a mother of the family, you have to consider the living children. With this money, at least the family doesn’t have to worry about starving and poverty, and all the children can grow up healthily.
Listening to what Huang's mother said, Huang's father thought for a while and said, "The big girl is also seventeen years old this year, and her parents also want to give you a family. But you know, our family is poor and can't afford any bride price, which delays your marriage.
The second girl is only ten years old this year, and the fourth child is only six years old. They are all at the age of studying and literacy. Parents are incompetent, so they can only try their best to make you eat and not go hungry. Marrying your brother's wife has already emptied our family, and the third child is not young anymore.
The world is getting more and more chaotic, and no one will be able to encounter any disasters when they stay here. I believe you have heard about the Liu Family Village Student. These days, there are not only war disasters but also chaotic bandits, but those are all disasters of killing thousands of swords. We have to be careful!
The Chief Hu doesn’t look very old and is kind-hearted. I thought about letting the Sanwa go to the army and follow this Chief Hu, at least you can stand out. The eldest child has a biological child and a child is considered a family. Are you and your wife willing to move?"
Huang Ershuan's younger brother did not refuse the decision made by Huang's father. He knew very well that his father had made such a decision, and he thought he had plans. He was not young and should have learned to share the burden with his family.
Facing his father's inquiry, Huang Dashuan thought for a while and said, "Go to go there, Fenzi and I will go there!"
"Okay! Sanwo, go and invite Chief Hu in. Wait until dad asks you for a favor and let him take you over. Don't blame dad for being cruel. The four males in our family have already died in battle, but in the end, I have fought for our family. You must be loyal to your second brother."
"Yes, dad!"
Huang Quanshuan, who looks very thin, is not short even though he is only sixteen years old. Some men of this age have children from families. As for younger brothers and sisters, they are even more old and half-aged.
When Hu Biao was invited into the Huang family, after listening to Huang's father's decision, Hu Biao was silent for a while and said, "Uncle, Aunt, letting Sanwa follow me will be very risky. I am a soldier and I want to fight the Japanese. It will be very dangerous for him to follow me!"
"Life and death are fate! I understand this! Since Erwa died of fighting the Japanese devils, as his younger brother, it is necessary to avenge his brother. Although the superior did not say this, I know that the money was not given by the high officials above.
In our village, there are many young people who have been arrested in the past few years and have never heard of any money to work hard. The superiors are kind and righteous, and we are also kind-hearted. Although Sanwa is not old, Ershuan was just as old as him when he was in the army."
"Okay! Since my uncle said that, I will accept the three widows. I will treat him as my own brother. If I have something to eat in one bite, I will never be hungry. You pack up first, and we will come out later! Zhuzi!"
"arrive!"
"Put in the things you brought in and let someone start cooking. Uncle and aunt, picking some valuable things to bring, but it's useless to bring other things. When you arrive in northern Shaanxi, you can buy some more things. I'm afraid it will take a long time to go along the way!"
"Zhong! Before leaving, can I tell the villagers some goodbye?"
"Okay! Just move there, uncle, try not to say anything. If you let the villagers watch this yard, maybe you can come back and take a look after the war is over. If the villagers ask, you will tell them that they should move to other places to avoid it for a while."
"Okay! Then I'll bother the sir!"
No one wants to leave his hometown, but sometimes he has to do this in order to survive. At least Hu Biao knows that for a long time in the future, the people of Linyi who are about to become an occupied area will not have a good life. Moving away early may be a way out.
Looking at the things Tian Tiezhu brought in, the Huang family was also surprised. The Huang family didn't eat them much like white flour. What's more, there were a lot of bacon among the things Tian Tiezhu brought in!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Ershuan's father began to say goodbye to the villagers, and then told the villagers to move to the nearby mountains to hide as soon as possible. Especially if there are young wives at home, it is better to hide as much as possible at this time.
Whether it is the Japanese or the soldiers, they like to harm their wives and women when they enter the village. As for the Huang family moving away, the villagers were surprised, but they were not able to find out the truth. If they could leave, I am afraid that many villagers would want to move to Ansheng and Taiping.
Unfortunately, leaving your hometown is a very dangerous thing. In addition to having money, you also need to have courage. If you don’t have money, you can’t survive when you go to another place. If you don’t have courage, you can’t hold on during the long journey.
After lunch at the Huang family, Huang's father took Hu Biao and his party to bury Huang Ershuan's ashes into the village's ancestral grave, where Huang Ershuan's grandparents were. Although the ceremony was very hasty, Huang Ershuan was finally buried in peace.
Looking at the newly erected tombstone, Hu Biao, who was half kneeling in front of the tombstone, also said solemnly: "Shuanzi, I've sent you home. When I get downstairs, I'll be filial to my grandparents, your parents and family, and I'll take care of you in the future.
When the war is over in the future, I will come to see you again, and your family will also come to see you. If you have spirit in heaven, bless your family! I will repair this tombstone when I have time in the future."
Listening to what Hu Biao said, the Huang family also felt very at ease. Following strangers like Hu Biao and embarking on an unknown journey, it would be a lie to say nothing about it. But Huang's father felt that this was an opportunity for his family.
If he missed it, he might regret it for the rest of his life. He was not afraid of death, but his children were afraid of their old ways. As for Hu Biao and his party were liars, Huang's father didn't think there was anything worth cheating on their family. Besides, this was also the decision of his second son.
In the suicide note left behind, Huang Ershuan also told his family to listen to Hu Biao's arrangements in everything. Huang's father made this decision and followed his son's decision. The money and the future of the Huang family were all brought back by Huang Ershuan with his life!
After the simple burial ceremony, Huang's father gave all the things that could not be taken away from the house and could not be used to his neighbors. The family was nervous and left the village where they had been born in a slightly envious look.
When he arrived at the temporary camp where the spy company was located, looking at these elite soldiers, Huang's father knew that his decision was correct. As for Lin Yashi, who was left behind in the camp, he was also very happy to see the Huang family who was taken back.
For her, it was a bit awkward to be among a group of men every day. Now that there are more female members of the Huang family, she can finally find someone to chat and talk. The female members of the Huang family were surprised and relieved when they saw Lin Yashi.
But for Hu Biao, it will take some time to send the Huang family to northern Shaanxi. What Hu Biao has to do first is to fight a few battles with the Japanese in Linyi before talking about it. Then find a way to contact the Eighth Route Army in the war zone.
