Chapter 1 First Arrival

In the scorching sun, Tong Shan carried two large baskets of luggage on his shoulder and rushed on the road full of loess. He was tall and upright, even though he was carrying heavy weight on his shoulders, his steps were steady.

But a wheat-colored face had already been red from the sun. She wiped the sweat that was constantly rising from her face with one hand, and turned around and said to the middle-aged man following her: "Dad, there is Shitou Village in front, please follow me."

"I know." Guan, who was following the woman, responded. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were frowned tightly by the sun. He fanned a palm palm in his hand for a while to cover the sun and then twice.

But more of them were slapping the woman in front of her. Seeing her face red, she took out a handkerchief to help her sweat with heartache, and she still complained: "God is going to be desolate to death, but I'm not willing to..." She was so sunny that she didn't have any edge.

No, Tong Shan squinted his eyes and looked up at the scorching sun. The sun was so sunny that it could make people lose half of their lives every year.

"Ashan, are you thirsty? Dad bring you some water to drink." The middle-aged man looked at her with concern, asked like this, and stretched out his long hands covered with thin calluses.

Tong Shan didn't care, took his handkerchief and wiped it randomly on his face, and smiled silly: "I'm not thirsty. If you are thirsty, just drink it."

This level is nothing to her. She has long been used to it and just sweating.

Guan ignored it, took out the water bag from the basket, carefully poured it into a porcelain cup and handed it to Tongshan's lips. Tongshan had no choice but to drink the water with his hand.

After she finished drinking, Guan put the water bag back to its original place, waved the palm fan and still slapped beside her: "Let's go, hurry up and go to the place to rest." He still felt sorry for his daughter, and was carrying her shoulders and sunlight, but after walking for a long time, he kept rushing around.

Guan's hand was placed under the basket, trying hard to help her daughter relieve some of the burden.

Tong Shan wiped the water marks from the corner of his mouth and nodded at him: "Okay." He moved his body slightly and changed the shoulder pole, walked steadily in front of him, and continued on the way.

When I simply passed through a small mountain road, the roadside became a little cooler. The trees on both sides of the loess road blocked most of the severing sun. Tongshan took a breath, wondering if it was her illusion, but I felt that the wind blowing from now was much cooler.

The hot wind mixed with a little coolness made Tong Shan feel energetic. He wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves, and his steps also accelerated.

Guan, who was following her, was holding a bag and a palm fan in his hand, which was much easier than her. Seeing that the people in front of him were speeding up, he no longer waved the palm fan, and put the bag on his shoulder and followed the woman closely.

When they passed through this mountain, they could see the appearance of the village from afar. Tong Shan's tightly pursed lips finally showed a smile, and he turned around and said to the person behind him: "Dad, look, that's Shitou Village."

Guan Fan Fan, and after hearing what she said, she looked over. Although she could only see the blurry outline on one side, she couldn't help but feel happy: "Okay, then let's go to the village to rest soon." As she said that, she moved her eyes to her daughter's red face, frowned and filled with heartache: "Look at your face is red."

Tong Shan laughed indifferently and touched his face that was hot and hot: "It's okay, it's better to be later." After speaking, he didn't want to waste his time. He squatted down and put the shoulder pole on his shoulder, and lifted up the two baskets of luggage on the ground with force.

Because his right shoulder was carrying his luggage all day long, he was sore and painful by the shoulder pole. Tong Shan frowned slightly invisibly, changed his shoulder quietly, turned around and said to the man: "Let's go."

"Um."

Although they looked far away, it was only a short time to get closer. They walked down this mountain road and passed through the woods and arrived at the entrance of the village.

Tongshan took Guan directly around the entrance of the village and went around the other side of the entrance of the village.

Finally, I stopped outside a slightly dilapidated yard.

Guan Shi stood outside and looked around, then turned around and asked, "Is this where we live?"

Tong Shan nodded, carried his luggage and walked forward and raised his chin towards the entrance of the yard: "Dad, open the door quickly."

Guan didn't say much anymore, took off the lock on the wooden door of the yard and pushed open the door of the yard. Tong Shan walked over and walked in first, put his luggage on the ground, and sat directly on the dusty wooden bench.

She beat her sore right shoulder and looked up at Guan Shi who was walking in: "Dad, although this house is a little dilapidated now, it is no worse to clean up than where we used to live."

Guan, who was originally looking at the house, was stunned after hearing this, and looked at his daughter who was cautious and explained to him that she was afraid that he would not like this place. She couldn't help but be amused by her expression. She smiled and walked over and took out a water bag and poured her a glass of water: "How could I care about these things? I'm satisfied if I have a place to live." When he brought her up alone, living was much worse than this, and it was not the same. As long as the two of them were fine, they would live in the same place.

What's more, Guan looked up his eyes again and looked at the yard. The house was quite big... The first thing he cared about was not how dilapidated it was, but how much silver it cost.

"This..." Guan Shi felt heartbroken with heartache, the kind of heartache that made Yinzi feel sad. She looked at her daughter who was drinking water aside: "Ashan, how much silver does it cost here?"

"The village chief only collected me ten taels of silver." Tong Shan put down the cup and answered truthfully.

"Hiss" Guan took a breath, his face full of pain: "Oh, why do you want so much money?"

Ten taels of silver have to sell a lot of cages of buns to make it back!

As Guan felt so sorry for Yin Liang Tongshan, he had already been used to it, so he explained to him patiently: "Dad, now there is chaos outside, and it is already a profit to find a good place for ten taels of silver." She didn't know how to tell him that it would make him feel more comfortable, but the silver was forced to spend, not to mention that ten taels were not much.

How could Guan not understand this truth? He just felt sorry for the hard-earned money. He also thought that he would leave some for Ashan to find a husband in the future.

Seeing that Guan was still frowning with pain, Tong Shan pointed to the house and changed the topic: "Dad, otherwise you would go in and take a look? Maybe you would like it."

Knowing that his daughter was changing the subject, Guan Shi also let down her eyebrows according to her wishes, walked out of the bedroom, pushed open the bedroom door and burst into dust.

Guan waved his hand in front and looked inside the house. He nodded with satisfaction. Well, the things are quite complete, and the bedroom is also large, so it is most suitable for Ashan to live in.

He looked at each bedroom in turn before turning around and sitting next to Tongshan, a little confused: "Has someone cleaned up this yard for us?"

After hearing what he said, Tong Shan noticed that the weeds on the ground in the yard had indeed been cleaned up. Looking closely, it seemed that the yard was neatly cleaned up. She was also confused: "I don't know..."

"It should be that the village chief knew that we would move here in the next two days, so he helped us sort it out."

"Then this village chief is pretty good." Guan felt a little relieved and comforted himself that his money was not spent.

"Yeah!" Otherwise she wouldn't have decided to move here.

After Tongshan had enough rest, he wanted to take the luggage in one hand and one basket of luggage, but was stopped by Guan: "The inside has not been cleaned yet, so I will take it in after cleaning it."

"Ah?" Tong Shan looked at him blankly, and reacted, "Oh" and put down his luggage obediently.

Guan took out a piece of coarse cloth from the basket and looked around the yard: "Where should I get this water?"

Tong Shan squatted down, took out the dry food from his luggage and put it on the wooden table, and his clear eyes turned to the man who was asking about it: "Dad, don't be busy with those things first, take a break and eat some dry food. I'll ask when I go to the village chief to settle down later."

After rushing for a day, I don’t rush to this moment.

Guan thought about it, so he put the coarse cloth aside and sat with her to eat dry food: "Then don't forget to ask when you go." He gave some concern, for fear that she would forget this.

"Well, I know Dad."
