Chapter 101 Site Selection
Melomei looked up at the moonlight in the sky, pondered for a moment and said: "Grandpa Duan is right, you should call him by his name or something else in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

The village head of Shuanghe Village, formerly known as Mei Changduan, but he is quite senior and also the village head, so everyone calls him the village head, or the village head’s uncle, the village head’s grandfather, etc.
There were not many people in the village who could call him by his name directly, and there was nothing wrong with Melomei calling him Grandpa Duan.

Seeing that everyone was listening to his speech, he continued: "Now that we have entered Lude Village, we will be villagers of Lude Village from now on. Don't mention that we are villagers of Shuanghe Village again, so as not to arouse the resentment of the villagers here. Get squeezed out."

"As for the head of Lude Village, let's bear with him first, and deal with him after we settle down first."

It's not a good thing to have a money-grubbing village chief, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Hearing what Melomei said, everyone agrees, but how to deal with him still needs to be considered.

"Now that we are under the roof, we have to bow our heads. As long as you don't touch your bottom line, don't make trouble."

After finishing speaking, Melomei stared at Zhang Meihua, and said: "Aunt Meihua probably doesn't want to be excluded, so I suggest that you should keep your head down and be a man, and don't jump out and yell at the village for any trivial matter. When I was in Shuanghe Village, everyone They all know the bottom line, and they may not really do anything to you, but today is different from the past, and others will not tolerate you. If you cause problems then, don’t blame the clansmen for not standing up for you.”

This piece of plum blossom is as good as Xiao Zhang's. I can't help shouting about little things, afraid that someone will take advantage of me. Melomei is really afraid that she will cause trouble and affect the whole family, so first Give her a warning.

The former village head, Mei Changduan, nodded and praised: "What Sanya said is what I want to say."

The patriarch and several elders thought about it and nodded in agreement.

It is not as easy as imagined to establish a foothold in a new place. You have to walk slowly step by step, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Hearing that the village chief still called herself Sanya, Melomei couldn't help but said: "Grandpa Duan, the patriarch, and a bunch of uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts. My sister’s name is Mei Luo Xing, please don’t call me Da Ya Er Ya San Ya in the future, new place, new start, okay?”

She really didn't want to be called Sanya anymore, but she was called such a name since she was born, so that the villagers couldn't change it at all. Even though she repeated it countless times, she still called it Sanya when she met.

Seeing Melomei solemnly affirming again, the villagers said awkwardly: "Isn't this something that can't be changed for a while!"

The patriarch said in a deep voice: "Whether you can change it or not, I will call her by her new name in the future."

He has seen all this way, if it weren't for this girl, they would have gone to the west long ago.

Hundreds of people in the village were on the road, but now there are only more than 200 people left.

The other hundreds of people who went on the road together were sneaked in by villagers from other places and followed them along the way.

After entering the village, he was taken to another place by the head of Lude Village to settle down, and he was not with them.

Now in this square, there are only more than 200 people from Shuanghe Village left.

Nearly half of the people are missing, and this is the result of Melome secretly selling food and water, otherwise I am afraid that it will be very bad now.

After everyone discussed it, they stopped entangled, but found a place where the family stayed together to rest.

It was already midnight when we arrived, and the crowd didn't rest long before they heard the rooster crowing. After a few moments, the sky began to gradually brighten. After a while, the sun slowly climbed into the sky, and a new day began.

It was another sunny day, everyone was very disappointed, but they had no choice but to sigh silently.

After a group of people got up, they thought that the village head of Lude Village would come to arrange them soon, but they didn't expect to see no one after they ate their dry food and the sun was on time.

It was not until the shadow of the bamboo pole on the sundial had slanted westward that the head of Lude Village came slowly.

"There are a lot of refugees, and we can't arrange them, so you have been waiting for a long time."

The village head had his hands behind his back, his small eyes narrowed into slits.

Some people followed behind him, presumably the villagers of his village.

"The village chief is tired, we can wait, we can wait." Mei Changduan immediately stepped forward to greet him politely.

They are a bunch of people, and he usually comes out to socialize when they encounter problems.

"Let's go then!"

The head of Lüde Village stroked his mustache and led the way.

A group of villagers in Shuanghe Village hurriedly followed behind, fearing that they would be left behind.

They thought they would be taken to the village, but they found that the village head led them around for an hour or so before bringing them to a place overgrown with grass.

"No, this is where you will live in the future, so stay here with peace of mind."

When everyone saw the desolate place full of weeds and gravel, they felt very confused.

There are two big mountains in the distance, and when you look up, they are all low bushes.

There is no land and no land, and even burning firewood is a problem. How should I live like this?

"Village chief, are you kidding, how do you live in this place?"

Seeing this, Zhang Meihua completely forgot about Melomei's warning to her last night, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The other villagers also had a bad complexion, staring at the village head of Lv De Village with all eyes, hoping that he would say that it was just a joke like yesterday.

But the idea is beautiful, the reality is very skinny.

"If you don't want to live here, you can leave. There is only such a place in our village."

The head of Lude Village sighed, this is not a lie, who said there are too many refugees.

There is no way!
"Although this place is a bit barren and there are a lot of stones, as long as you work hard, you won't die from starvation. Besides, this wasteland is exempt from land tax for three years. You can live here first."

What can I do if I don't live first, the world is so big, could it be the king's land, besides, it's drought everywhere, it's good to have a place to live, so I have the opportunity to pick and choose.

The head of Lude Village left, and the crowd looked at the desolation all over the place, and sighed.

"Sister Luo, where do you want to live?"

Seeing that everyone was sighing, Mei Xiang also looked sad, but she still looked at Melomei with hope, and couldn't help but stepped forward to ask her.

"I want to live at the foot of the mountain over there."

Melomei pointed at the two mountains in the distance, planning to find a way to buy that area in a few days, feed the chickens, plant trees or do other things.

Now that I've come here, I have to find some way to make money openly, or else I will find a few large bags of gold, silver and jewelry out of thin air, and I will have something to do.

Now she is a little rich woman, with energy and gold.

Along the way, she and Jun Buhuan often slipped out of the crowd to sell water and food.

She was fleeing famine, and she made a lot of money secretly, thinking about it was very refreshing.

Mei Xiang nodded when she saw the place Melome was pointing at, "Then I'll tell my mother that our family lives there too, can we be neighbors?"

Living next to sister Luo, she felt very safe.

Melome smiled and said, "Yes, why not, anyway, the place is so big, and it's not mine alone."

"Third Sister, that place is too far from the village. Is it not good for us to live there?"

Mei Luoxing looked into the distance, thinking that she wanted to live at the foot of the mountain, and it was far away from the village, so shopping was inconvenient.

"Second sister, why is it not good? I looked there, and the space is wide."

Mei Changduan looked at it, and couldn't help reminding, "Xiaomei, that place is indeed too far from here, and it's hard to take care of it then."

Melomei smiled, "It's okay, Grandpa Duan, I like to be surrounded by mountains and rivers."

Seeing this, the village chief went to persuade Mei's second son, "My second son, it might be inconvenient if you live at the foot of the mountain, or if everyone builds houses in this place, we can take care of each other."

He really thinks that if we live together, we won't be bullied by others.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mei's second child and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.

Since being hurt by her natal family, she has rarely expressed her views now.

What the family says is what it is.

Mei's second glanced at the little girl standing aside, and said: "Three...Meimei has her own ideas in making such a choice, and I will listen to my girl."

Scratching her head, she smiled innocently: "Our family is now headed by a girl, and she can live wherever she says."

Mei's second son had already said so, and Mei Changduan couldn't say anything, so he had to give up.

The villagers didn't say anything anymore, they were optimistic about the address and planned to build a new home.

Mei Luomei chose a remote location with many weeds and no roads, so Mei Laoer and Mrs. Li had to take a hatchet and cut grass while walking, trying to cut a road.

Mei Luoxing and Mei Qiying moved the weeds they cut and threw them to other places to clear the way.

Melomei followed behind them, leading the big ox and walking slowly, letting him eat some grass to fill his stomach.

This cow has been with them for three years, hungry and full, even if Melomei occasionally sneaks into a small stove, he has lost a lot of weight. Looking at it now, it feels like there is only a piece of cowhide wrapped in a big skeleton, not at all what it used to be. stout.

"Eat more, you will have strength when you are full."

Melomei took a sip of salt water from a water bag, sprayed it on the roadside weeds, and let the big-gu cattle eat it.

This cow likes to eat salty grass the most. She used to see other children in the village urinating on the fresh grass, and his cow ran over to eat it in a few strokes, which shows that cows also like things that have a taste.

The family cleared the road until sunset, and they still haven't cleared one-third of the road.

Melomei thought for a while, and said: "Father, why don't we set a fire and burn all the weeds, so as to save trouble and effort."

Mei Laoer frowned and said: "No, the weather is too dry, if you accidentally start a fire, I'm afraid it will be out of control."

Setting fire in this weather is indeed easy to cause a fire, especially when there is a gust of wind when the fire is burning, I am afraid that people around will not be able to escape. Maybe the fire will be blown to the village by the wind, and the whole village will be burned to the ground.

Seeing that this plan didn't work, Melomei said again: "Father, do you want to go to the village to find Village Chief Lu, and ask him to help find some people to clean up these weeds?"

In a word, I just hate the slow speed and don't want to do it myself.

Mei Lao Er had been chopping grass for a long time, but he was soft. Hearing this, he stopped and said, "If there is no money, Village Chief Lu won't ask someone to come."

In Lude Village, most of the villagers have the surname Lu.

The village chief here is called Village Chief Lu.

 I took care of several babies at home today, so I forgot to upload it,...crying...
