Chapter 110 Clan Meeting
The Song family had been busy all day, and when Song Dafu and Song Dazhi returned from town, it was time for a new round of busyness.
Song Sanfu, who went to see the village chief, waited until the next day when the moon was high in the sky before he slowly walked back home in the silence of the night.
When Song Sanfu went to the village chief and told him about the events in Shierlipu Village and expressed his guess, the village chief did not believe it at first.
But Song Sanfu insisted on waiting for the village chief to go to Shierlipu Village for a check. Although the trip took a bit of time, the village chief, who had actually visited Shierlipu Village to see the situation, never again said he didn't believe it.
The lotus pond in Shierlipu Village, which is famous for its abundant water, is full of silt and has no water. The water level in the streams and rivers is almost zero. In some slightly drier places, even the vegetation has died.
The real scene was right before his eyes, and the village chief could not help but not ignore what might happen in the future.
They are all elderly people who have seen a lot of things. They are also farmers in the countryside who rely on the weather for farming and making a living, so naturally they know a lot.
Situations like those in Shierlipu Village indicate that drought may be coming.
With heavy hearts, the village chief and Song Sanfu drove the donkey cart back to Songjia Village.
The first thing he did after returning to the village was to call the clan leader and elders and tell them what he had seen in Shierlipu Village.
This naturally attracted the attention of the clan leader and elders, so Song Sanfu was kept behind to hold a small meeting. They talked about the abnormal situation in Shierlipu Village, the increasingly hot weather since the beginning of this year, and what Song Sanfu shared, that most people in Shierlipu Village had tried their best to go south.
Finally, everyone came to a conclusion - to send people out the next day to visit nearby villages and towns to see what the situation was like in other places.
Song Sanfu could also understand the reason for this conclusion. There were several hundred people in Songjia Village. Once they were relocated, it would cause quite a stir and require considerable material and financial resources.
Even if you stockpile things in preparation for three years, it will still cost a lot.
This kind of thing must be confirmed after there is some news before telling the villagers.
Otherwise, with all kinds of people in the village, it would be easy for trouble to arise.
Song Sanfu returned home late. At this time, most people in the family were asleep, and only Old Lady Song was waiting for him.
After eating and drinking and resting for a while, Song Sanfu told Old Lady Song the results of the clan meeting.
The final result of the discussion was within the expectations of Old Lady Song.
After all, people in a clan are different from people in a family, and there are more things to consider.
Moreover, the people in the tribe were not like their family. With Song Rending, who could communicate with gods, they knew about the disaster early on, and the news was accurate, so they naturally prepared things with confidence.
"I mentioned to the clan that we should go to Fanxi Academy, but the village chief and clan elders wanted to go to Laizhou if we really want to escape the disaster." Song Sanfu lay on the kang and told Old Lady Song the decision made by those people during the meeting.
"Normal." Old Lady Song sighed, "Back then, the entire Songjia Village was relocated from Laizhou. Now there is a possibility of relocation again. The older generation naturally hopes to return to their hometown. But let me say that the land of Fanxi Academy is safer. There have been no disasters over the years. Even after the change of dynasties, it has been able to survive. Not to mention that the academy in that place is the most famous. If we move there, our children in the future will have more opportunities to study and succeed."
When Old Lady Song first married into the Song family, she also heard the older generation say that their Songjia Village moved from Laizhou, so when she heard Song Sanfu say that the group hoped to move back to Laizhou, she said she could understand.
But she had no plans to move to Laizhou together.
Not to mention that that place is not stable, even if it is relatively stable, compared with Fanxi Academy, Fanxi Academy is ultimately better.
Song Sanfu had no special feelings towards Laizhou. He cared more about the development of his descendants, so he agreed with what Old Lady Song said.
But the person he was thinking of was his elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao.
He didn't know what his sister-in-law and her family would choose.
In his heart, his eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been like his parents. To be honest, he doesn't want the two families to be too far apart.
Song Sanfu thought for a while, and finally said what he was thinking: "Xiuniang, what do you think about my sister-in-law's family?"
Xiuniang is the maiden name of Old Lady Song.
Old Mrs. Song felt a little embarrassed when Song Sanfu suddenly called her by her maiden name.
As for what she asked about what to do with her sister-in-law's family, Old Lady Song didn't think it was a big deal at all.
"Sister-in-law cares most about the development of future generations. As long as we persuade her properly, Fanxi Academy has a high status in the hearts of scholars. Comparing such a good place with Laizhou, where she is unfamiliar with the place, sister-in-law will definitely choose Fanxi Academy." Old Mrs. Song said with great confidence.
She thought she knew Mrs. Zhao quite well, and even patted her chest and promised that she would talk to Mrs. Zhao after the group told the villagers about the matter.
She also likes her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, who is like an elder and a friend.
Even the daughters-in-law of Mrs. Zhao could often talk to her.
She didn't like chatting with those gossipy women in the thatched pavilion in the village, so most of the time when she needed to chat, she would go to her sister-in-law and her nieces-in-law.
Old Mrs. Song was also reluctant!
The clan said they would send someone to find out the situation, which would naturally take some time.
There are at least several villages and towns around Songjia Village. If you want to find out clearly, you have to go far away.
The young men sent out by the tribe ran around to understand the situation. The village chief and the elders were also extremely anxious and eager to know the specific situation in other places.
Only the Song family can be considered peaceful and happy. The family members are busy all day long, but they are happy.
Song Dafu and Song Dazhi did not participate in this field investigation. The two of them stayed in the backyard of their home, modifying the ox cart they bought, with Song Dazhi mainly participating in painting, Song Rending coming up with an idea from time to time, Lang Twelve pointing out the inappropriate data who came up out of interest, and Song Dafu fully cooperating in making the drawings!
After that, ox carts became a very important means of transportation for escaping the disaster. Song Rending didn't actually do much more than that. He just "accidentally" let Song Dazhi invent a spring and install it in the cart.
As for the others, she believed that her second uncle, who had great talent in carpentry, would be able to do it!
