Zhaojun's open life

The old man bent over and raised his head just in time to see the eldest daughter with the white and cute, smiling little granddaughter, "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Just after spring plowing and spring planting, the grass in the field has not grown.Rest for two days before going to the ground.

There are quite a lot of people coming and going in the village, and there are not many people doing work in the field, and many people have men who are resting in front of their houses.

Some even gather to chat.

The old man was planning to go to the field with his hands behind his back, but he didn't expect to meet the eldest daughter and the little granddaughter on the way back to her mother's house.

"I have something to do, Dad, let's go home and talk about it. Is Third Uncle at home?"

"Yes, where is he not at home?"

For the third child, the old man sometimes hates it so much that his teeth itch.Really, I am not obedient at all. My sister-in-law has been away for many years and has been unwilling to get married.Now that he is older, he doesn't rush anymore.

"Father, how many piggies are there in Third Uncle's family?"

"It's not for sale. You sent a letter back saying you want to buy it. Can your third uncle sell it?"

"It's fine if you don't sell it."

Chu's mother was also worried that the third uncle would sell the piglets. The old girl said that each of the three sons would raise one pig, and she would raise eight pigs by herself.

The family is penning a pigsty, and she and the old man also want to raise two pigs.

There are more than a dozen little piglets in Ye San's house, and they are calling the piglets in the pigpen.

A voice came from behind, "Third Uncle (Third Grandfather)."

"Big Nier is here, is she here to buy piglets?" Seeing the eldest niece, Ye San opened his mouth and asked cheerfully.

"Well, third uncle, how many piglets are there in our family?" Mother Chu, Ye Dani, stood by the side of the pigpen, looking inside, the little piggies walking around, both happy and sad.

The joy is that there are many piglets, three sons, three piglets, and eight piglets each, and she and the old man will raise two piglets.There are thirteen heads in total. If you really want to raise them well, you can earn a lot of money by the end of the year.

If something goes wrong, if you encounter swine fever, you will lose a lot.

Even if the family has some money, they can't afford to lose it.

"Fourteen, do you want all or just a few?"

"Third Uncle, I want both. I'll ask my elder brothers to help me weigh them later. But the money is not good enough. I want to credit five, and the remaining nine will be paid in cash. Do you think it's okay?

The five pigs on credit will be given to you after the pigs are sold at the end of the year. "

Grinning his toothless mouth, Ye San still smiled, "Okay, I'll give you credit."

In fact, he is a lonely old man, as long as he has food and shelter, he doesn't care if he has more money or less money.

He learned how to raise sows from his dead daughter-in-law.

Since [-], when he raised his first sow, he has saved a lot of money.

What is grown in the ground is enough for him to eat alone. If it is really not enough, he can still spend money to buy it.

"Uncle Xie, wait for the house to be built after a while, please invite Uncle to stay at home for two days."

Chu's mother has always been very close to third uncle, and she often played with her when she was a child.

The third uncle is only ten years older than her, and the uncle and nephew have always been very close.

"Okay, we're going to build a new house, it's not bad. Your life is really prosperous." Ye San sighed, the little girl who hung around behind his back in the past has become a grandmother.

"Third Uncle, it's not a problem if you don't have a woman in your family. Otherwise, you'd better find another one. I don't ask for anything else, as long as she can help you with household chores, sewing and mending."

Mother Chu looked at Third Uncle and persuaded him.

"No, I don't like being controlled. It's good to be alone. Look at it. I can eat whenever I want, and no one cares. It's good to eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry.

You, don't worry, your younger brothers are all honest people.I can't really move and they won't leave it alone. "

"I hope, if something really happens, they don't care, you find someone to send me a message, and I will take you to my house."

"Don't worry, someone will take care of me." Ye San didn't care, he really wasn't worried that no one would take care of him.

Zhaojun often heard his mother talk about the third grandfather along the way, and knew that his mother really cared about the third grandfather.

She walked into the third grandpa's kitchen and poured half a bucket of spiritual water into the water tank.

I hope that the third grandpa's illness will disappear, he will be healthy, and he will eat well.

With her here, it is guaranteed that the third grandfather and grandparents will live to one hundred and twelve.

Father Ye's house next door is also busy.The old lady asked her daughters-in-law to cook, and asked her third son to borrow an ox cart, and the eldest grandson herded the cows and fed them well.

The old lady also called her eldest son, "Second brother, how many pig cages are there in our family?"

"Mom, there are several, I'll go and have a look."

"Well, clean it up, take it out and put it in the yard. I will help you weigh it later and load the pig."

"Ah."

The Ye family was very harmonious. As soon as Chu's mother came home, she whispered to her parents about the old girl digging up ginseng to buy a house in the city and build a few brick houses for the family.

At this time, Chu's mother was talking about this with third uncle again, and said, "Third uncle, after the house at home is built, I will take you to the house in the city to identify the door and stay for a few days."

"Okay, I'm going to live in a small western-style building." Ye Sanye glanced at his little granddaughter outside the house, and then said, "If you have money, you can't spend it all. Save it for the children, know how to honor your parents, and know how to help your brothers and sisters." , is a sensible child.

But you can't let Xiao Junjun give money to other children all the time.Junjun doesn't owe them anything, they help because of love, and if they don't help, no one will say anything.It's not her job.

Brothers and sisters should be harmonious and help each other, but you can't blindly let the one who is living well pay for it, and no one owes anyone else.

Let's just talk about your second uncle. He went out to join the army in his early years, and he got along well outside. Now he is also in Kyoto, and his life is not to say how rich.But at least better than me and your dad.

Your father and I never write letters to ask him to help.In this life, as long as it is not about human life, neither your father nor I will write to ask your second uncle to help us.

Ye Sanye is a very smart person and knows what he wants.

He also sees the world clearly, and often advises his elder brother to take care of his health and not to be angry.It's not worth it to ruin your body for some irrelevant popularity.

With her head lowered, Mother Chu, who had been helping Third Uncle mend his clothes, was distracted when she heard what Third Uncle said, and the needle accidentally stuck into her finger. Little blood.

"Well, third uncle, I know. I won't let Junjun spend money to help those bastards in the future. I can't let them be lazy and think that they don't have to do anything in the future and rely on Junjun for everything.

How old is Junjun, they are all tall and powerful, and let Junjun raise them, how shameless? "

In Chu's mother's heart, the old girl is the biggest, she is like a mirror in her heart, an old girl is worth dozens of stupid sons.

In Mr. Ye's house, Ye Er, Ye Si, Ye Wu, the three brothers brought their sons to help the eldest sister, pretending to be little piggies.

Ye Er drove the bullock cart and a cart of piglets to Dongshan Village.

"Second uncle, go inside and drink some water." A group of people from the Chu family gathered around.

"Has the pigpen been fenced?" Ye Er went first, and the eldest sister, mother and daughter walked behind.There is no way, there is no room for the bullock cart.

"It's all set."

Chu Da took his two younger brothers with him, and his brother-in-law carried the pig cages from the ox cart. The three brothers had a family with one pig. This was an agreement.

There are one large, four small and five pigpens in the backyard, all of which are fenced off.

When the eldest sister, mother and daughter arrived home, Ye Er got up and went home with the cleaned and empty pig cage.There is still work at home, the two families are not far apart, and I will come to help build the house for the eldest sister in two days.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the blue bricks and gray tiles and wooden beams piled up in the front yard of the eldest sister, and even saw the glass placed on the ground against the wall in the house.

I'm a good boy, I'm really crazy.

Not only him, everyone in the Chu family didn't know, except that the bricks and tiles were paid for by Zhaojun, and the glass and wood were transported out of space by Zhaojun and placed in the new house in the city.

Then find someone to bring it back, it is said that the boss of her Tuoqi family asked someone to buy it.

The bricks and tiles cost some money, including the tiles of the second sister's house, a total of more than 200 yuan.

After buying the little piglet, Zhaojun took his four-year-old nephew Chu Yuannan to hunt pigweed every day.

The two elders in the eldest brother's family have gone to school, the third brother's Yuannan is four years old, and the rest are one and two years old, and they can't walk easily.

In the mountains, Yuannan followed his old aunt to cut pigweed with a small back basket.

I have to mow every morning and evening, and spend the rest of the time at home with my younger brothers and sisters.The main thing is to keep an eye on them.

In the forest, the aunt and nephew were busy cutting pigweed with their buttocks pouted.Xiao Yuannan likes to follow his old aunt, and the old aunt likes him so much that she often feeds him a piece of candy and a piece of biscuit.

"Grandma, I picked up Hericium erinaceus." Xiao Yuannan knew each other. Recently, he followed his aunt to know many species that he didn't know before, all of which were given to him by her aunt.

"Put it away, do you know where to put it?"

"I know, make sure to keep it safe." Xiao Yuannan proudly patted the small cross-body basket on his back.

He asked his dad to get it for him. When he went up the mountain, he had to be prepared to collect the medicine. After gathering the medicine, he would help his grandfather prepare it, and then let his old aunt help him sell it.

The old aunt said that all the money belongs to him, not to his parents.

"Come here, see what old aunt found?" Zhaojun pointed to the place on the tree that was covered by branches and leaves.

Through the gaps in the leaves, and the old aunt's reminder, Xiao Yuannan raised his neck, opened his eyes wide, tried his best, and searched carefully. After a while, he knew what it was.

Covering his small mouth, he turned his head in surprise, looked at the old aunt with a happy face, and didn't know what to say, he had seen Ganoderma lucidum, really, it was a young Ganoderma lucidum.

He remembers some knowledge about ganoderma lucidum that his aunt usually told him.

Look, the Ganoderma lucidum covered by the branches is at least a hundred years old. The old aunt showed him how big the century-old Ganoderma lucidum was.

He looked carefully, this Ganoderma lucidum was still purple, and he knew it was valuable just by looking at it.

The little guy flushed with excitement, his breathing became short of breath, and he didn't know what to say.

Pointing with her little finger, she stammered, "Old, old, old aunt, hundred, hundred, hundred years old."

Zhaojun was very proud. After hanging out with the children for a long time, she also had a childish air, and she nodded, "Yes, it's been a hundred years. Don't tell anyone when you go back. You know?"

"Well, I know, even my parents can't tell." Xiao Yuannan was only a few days old, and he was so bewitched by the old lady that he didn't even tell his parents.

"Don't tell anyone without my permission. Of course your grandma wants to know. Wait, I'll get it down."

After finishing speaking, he hugged the tree and climbed up the tree, the small cross-body basket on his back was still on his back.

Next to the century-old Ganoderma lucidum, there were still many small ones, but Zhaojun didn't move them.

They are still young, so keep them, maybe someone else will find them, and maybe they can save other people's lives.It is not her style to exhaust the pond and fish.

The aunt and nephew, after cutting the crop of pigweed in the morning, strolled down the mountain with a large bundle of pigweed on their backs.

"Junjun, yo, I cut a lot of pigweed again." Down the mountain, I met a lady who also went up the mountain to cut pigweed.

"Well, ma'am, how old are your pigs?" Chu Zhaojun, a big pig farmer, is now well-known in the village, raising eight piglets on credit alone.

It was said to the outside world that it was on credit, and everyone in the village knew that Chu's mother's third uncle raised a few big sows, and there were new piglets every year.

Others can't get it on credit, but Mother Chu can get it on credit.

Many people are envious of buying and selling without money, and a few are almost jealous, secretly cursing: if there is swine fever, everyone will die.

"Not big, not as big as yours. Your third grandfather is really good at raising pigs. The little piglets sent to your house are all fat."

The whole village went to Chu's house to see those little piglets. It was the first time in many years that someone raised more than a dozen piglets at once.

The people in the village were as curious as they were. In the first few days, whenever they had time, they would go to Chu's house.

The Chu family is busy now, and the new house is being built, which is still a brick and tile house.Although there are only three brick houses, they are still the first three in the village.

Last year, two families in the village built new tile-roofed houses.

The two families were able to build tile houses because they rescued a rich man in the city on the mountain.

I don't know how to thank them, but seeing that they lived in a thatched house, I made my own decision, bought bricks, tiles, and wood for them, and sent them over.They also found a craftsman for their family, and the house was built, and it was almost autumn.

Unexpectedly, in the spring of this year, the Chu family will build a brick house again.Tsk tsk tsk, this is a fortune.

Many people are guessing, some say that Lao Chu dug up some precious medicinal materials from the mountain.

Some time ago, Lao Chu took his old daughter into the city for a trip.It took two days to go there, and the medicinal materials must have been sold in two days.

Most people don't know that the Hukou of Lao Chu, his wife and the old girl have moved out, and bought a house in the city, so I'm afraid they will guess more.

Several cadres in the village also heard the discussion in the village, and they seemed to understand and feel a little complacent.They agreed to Lao Chu, not to speak out for the time being.We have to wait for the house to be built before talking about it, and when the news is revealed, it will be nothing.

The family has already been working in full swing, "Junjun, you are back. Hey, I shot a lot of pigweed."

The uncles and uncles who helped out in the village saw the uncle and nephew who came back from hunting pigweed.

Every day they saw the aunt and nephew dragging a few bundles of hogweed home from the mountains every morning.

"Master, be careful." Xiaozui is so sweet, and even asked the helping uncle to be careful, what a caring girl.

The new house is on the right side of the old house, the yard has been expanded, the fence has been pulled down, and it is planned to use adobe as the wall.

The two-meter-high adobe fence is also a big project. First, the adobe bricks must be produced by ourselves.

The weather is getting better and better, and there is no problem in removing the adobe.The old man of the Shi family took his sons off the adobe opposite the Chu family.

San'er borrowed all the adobes for building the house, and when they are not busy now, they will also help take off the adobes to dry and return them later.

Boss Shi, Second Brother Shi, and Fifth Brother Shi looked at the Chu family on the opposite side, envious, "Third brother, you have a good life. You married a good wife."

Er Er Shi smacked his mouth enviously, looking at the bustling crowd opposite.

"Second brother, don't envy me. In two years, you will be able to build a house like me." Shi Youtian was happy, because of him, the whole family was separated.Parents follow elder brother.

The second brother and the fifth brother are still living in the old house for the time being, or they can always live in the old house.

The room he used to live in belonged to the boss.

The second Shi glanced at the third, and laughed angrily, "Fart, even if I build a house, I'm not as rich as you. There are tiles, and the wood for the beams at home doesn't have to be prepared by myself."

The mud in Father Shi's hand slapped the top of the second child's head, "I'm still in front of you, whoever you want to be my father will cut you to death."

Shi Laoer was depressed, he was really careless, he actually forgot that his own father was nearby.

"Father, what are you doing cutting me? Cutting that twitch of the third child. And stabbing me, cutting him, cutting him to death."

The unrelenting Shi Er Er was slapped again just as he finished speaking.

Shi Laowu has just been married for less than a year, so he doesn't think about the house yet.

But he is envious, the third brother's life is really good, the third sister-in-law's life is good to bring the third brother, and the foundation is bought.

There are three main rooms, two on the east and west sides.There are courtyards at the front and back, and they are all tiled roofs.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a big deal.

Father Shi is also envious of the in-laws across the way, but he is not jealous, he just wants to make friends.

The old girl is capable, and she can't get the credit herself, but the son and the third child can get the credit.There are many people and strength is great. In one month, not only the Chu family, but also Shi Laosan's house was completely built.

New house, new yard, three tile-roofed houses with glass windows at the front and back, facing south, airy and bright.

One is the room of the old couple, one is the main room, and the other belongs to the old girl Chu Zhaojun.

The three rooms are connected, and the rooms on both sides of the main room have doors.There are kangs in the house, and there are short green bricks on the floor, all of which are broken bricks that Zhaojun bought from the brick factory.

There are two-meter-wide eaves outside the three tile-roofed houses, which can be used for stacking firewood and jars.

You can also sit and chat.

On the east and west sides, there is a kitchen and a toilet suite with a bath.

She designed it herself. The latrine is squatting. Below the long latrine is a tunnel with a slope of 45 degrees dug by a knowledgeable teacher. The dig is deep and long. up the cement.

The Changmao Pit leads all the way to the Da Mao Pit outside, a rectangular, three-meter-deep pit.

It can accumulate fertilizer and ensure the sanitation of the toilet.

Put a broken water tank on it, and use the waste water from washing your face and hands every day to flush the big ones.

She didn't know that once her design came out, the houses and toilets in the village would be built according to her new toilet.

Because in this way, there is no need to produce a big feces every ten days and a half months.

The wisdom of the working people is infinite. They cannot get cement, but they can get slates and stones.

The house was neatly tidied up, with thick doors, newly made furniture, not only Kang cabinets, but also wardrobes that were only available in the city at this time, as well as the Eight Immortals table in the main room, and two new-style armchairs.

There is a long heated kang beside Zhaojun's room.

"Father, mother, I will go to the city tomorrow and stay overnight."

It's time to go to school for the exam.

"Go, we're at home. Pig, we'll take care of it."

Mother Chu was sitting on the kang in the main room, her legs crossed, and she was mending Zhaojun's clothes that had been scraped up the mountain.

One stitch at a time, very carefully mended.

In just one month, the eight piglets raised by the old girl have skyrocketed, and their stature has grown by more than five centimeters.Two big circles were made.

It is completely impossible to see that this pig is a long pig.

The whole thing is a round fat pig.

Resting her head on her mother's lap, she whispered, "Mom, I'll be back after the exam. Is there anything I need to buy at home? I'll take it home."

Every time she goes to the city, she helps the family bring back some needed items.

"Buy five catties of oil and five catties of salt. You can buy the rest. You can buy one catty each of soy sauce and vinegar. It should be about the same, right?"

Mother Chu put down the needlework and clothes in her hands, and touched the pretty face of the old girl.The old girl's skin became fairer and fairer. There was still not much flesh on her small face, but her skin was fairer and clearer.

Although my daughter does not go down to work every day, she gets up early to hunt pigweed twice a day, and when she gets home, she washes it, chops it up, cooks it, and feeds the pigs on time.Clean the pigsty and remove the pig manure.

Do it every day, no matter how young or old.Finish work in the morning, study in the afternoon, and cut hogweed again before dark.

Time is tight, and there are more things to do than the people who go to work in the fields.

She looked distressed.

"Mom, my sister's family also raises two pigs. I think they are doing well. Does our family have the talent to raise pigs?"

The joking words imprinted into Chu's mother's heart, yes, no matter who raises the piglets in my family, they are all fat.Somewhat unbelievable.

"Maybe." Touching the little head of the old girl, Chu's mother thought of the scene of counting the money and selling pigs to earn a lot of money at the end of the year.

Counting the money in a rush.The corners of the mouth turned up unconsciously.

At Zhaojun's insistence, Father Chu asked the old people in the village to find a water outlet and dig a deep well.

It was deeper than the old well in the village. After the well was dug, the first batch of seeped water was poured out to irrigate the ground.

Zhaojun poured several buckets of spiritual spring water in it, and poured a bucket of spiritual spring water into the well every day.

Thinking about persisting for a few years, even if she goes to live in the city, the water in the well will still contain aura.

Maybe it will develop in a good direction.

The mother and daughter were warm for a moment, Zhaojun took the book and flipped through it.She still has to study, although she has gone to college many times.But every world is slightly different.

Lying on the kang, tumbling about nothing, holding a book and reading it, occasionally reading aloud.

In the ground

Chu Zhaohui pulled the grass in the field, the crops were planted, but the field had to pull the weeds once every ten days.

"Daughter-in-law, take a break." Shi Youtian was full of energy now, and the new house was built.

The bedding and clothes at home are original, and the rest are new, even the buckets for carrying water are new, all made by the old father-in-law and the others.

Of course, the adobe was borrowed by myself, and half of it has been removed, and it will be returned after drying.The remaining half will be done this year.

The days are getting more and more prosperous, and he has energy in everything.

Zhaohui, who was squatting, raised her elbow and wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face was flushed from the sun.

Raising his head, he took off his straw hat and fanned himself, glanced at the unfinished work in front of him, immediately put down his thoughts of resting, shook his head and said, "No, I'll do it for a while. I have to go back to cook later .”

There is also a two-year-old son at home, and the four-year-old nephew helps to watch over at the mother's house opposite.

She has to go back early.

The author has something to say: I forgot to say that land was collected by the public in [-].Five or eight years ago, as long as farmers sold prey in the fields, including hunting in the mountains and forests, there was no regulation.Breeding is also possible. After six or six years, artisans can stop working and take over jobs at home. As long as they hand over the required money to the team every year, that's fine. If the money is converted into work points, they can still get food.

Not to mention the age, I think it is a model.

Five or eight years later, six or six years ago, the products in the mountains were still left unattended.After six or six years, no one cares about hunting small game, digging wild vegetables, and picking up mountain products.

Unless it is a big wild boar, big bear or other big prey, it needs to be confiscated. Otherwise, if a fish of one or two catties, pheasant and rabbit of several catties, who will be confiscated?For a fish or two small prey, who would make a special trip to the county town, the purchase station in the town, are you free?

These are not Shanshan's random nonsense. I asked the elderly who lived through the 50s. In the 50s, some people had just grown up and some were still teenagers.

There are also regional differences, so don't generalize.
