Chapter One Wasteland Development ()
A Wu Ming / nameless Continent, one day, clear sky 10,000 li, no clouds and no wind, Heavens Above a round of Ardent Sun, projected infinite light.
Suddenly, something like Ring suddenly flashed out of the sky. I do n’t know where it came from. It appeared so abruptly. It seemed to have just passed through time and space, with a very high speed, to the mountain peak disease below. Fast fired past, with a weird “Woo” sound.
On weekdays, if something flew from beyond the sky, it would be the tail with thick smoke, roaring, the sound is so loud that it can be seen by the whole world.
But this thing is only a short momentary sound, and then “poof” one sound long sound, deep into the mountain peak stone, no trace.
This time is extremely short, and it did not cause any biological reaction. Even the nearby bird did not have time to fly.
After that, the startled birds made a few laps in the air, and they fell swiftly. They did not know this Continent, so there was so much mystery.
I do n’t know how many years later, the sea of mulberry fields is right and wrong, then mountain peak is also sinking, and turned into a hillside, many places have become flat, and gradually there are people, and even some people are here. Living around the hillside, and what wonderful story can this mysterious Ring bring? Zhang Xiaohua is very happy, with a happy expression on his face.
His eyes stared hotly at the piece of Wasteland in front of him, as if it were a piece of fragrant pork belly.
In fact, it is better to say that it is a mountainous area than Wasteland, because this land is located at the half-middle waist of a hillside, but this **** is relatively slow, and it can open about four quarters. But this land is also the result of Zhang Xiaohua and his father’s hard work looking for Clan Head for nearly two months. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua also knows that there are many Desolate Mountains in the village, but there are very few fields where crops can be grown, so everyone wants to find a place to produce rations in addition to the original Land Protector.
Most of the other people in the village looked for Wasteland near the river, and their family looked away because they did n’t have the money to manage Clan Head. Looking for places that others did n’t want, looking for things in the east and west, they found such a piece of Land Protector.
The village where Zhang Xiaohua lives is called Guo Zhuang. Fangyuan is about four miles away, surrounded by mountains on both sides. This mountain is not high, so it is more appropriate to call it a hill. A large river flows through the village head, and a small bridge over the river connects the path of Linzhuang. There are about forty households living in Guozhuang, half of whom are named Guo. They are a small family living in the middle of the village. Others are scattered in the village’s all around. The people in the countryside are very simple, but they are also very busy. Guo Zhuang’s affairs are mostly hosted by Guo’s Clan Head. Although they live in a village, they have different surnames. When dealing with things, Clan Head will inevitably be biased towards the party within the family. The good residential location in the village and the good crop land outside the village are mostly controlled by the villagers named Guo. However, after all, they are folks in the village. Although petty things continue to happen, big disputes have never appeared in this small Guozhuang. People in Guozhuang feel that they are living a peaceful life in Taohuayuan.
Zhang Xiaohua‘s mother Guo Sufei is a member of the Guozhuang family, which is regarded as a partial support of the Guo family, and was once “brilliant”, but in the generation of his mother, there is no male except Guo Sufei, and Zhang Xiaohua‘s Grandfather Guo Shan is also an old woman. When she raised her daughter to get married, it was also the time of the old couple. In order to support the elderly, Zhang Xiaohua, his father, Zhang Cai, and then entered the Guo family.
It is said that the wealth of the rural family is mostly related to the labor in the family, and Guo Shan has no sons. Before the birth of Guo Sufei, he always thought of the boy who inherited his relatives. However, due to various problems, the family was supported by Guo Shan. Knowable. Zhang Cai also struggled. After arriving at the Guo family, he was a good player in farming and far more than the father-in-law Guo Shan in increasing the family labor force. One year after the wedding, Guo Sufei became pregnant and gave birth, adding a grandson to Guo Shan. Zhang Xiaolong. The old couple of Guo Shan were very pleased to see the birth of their grandson. While the whole family is looking forward to the bright future in the future, Guo Shan is overworked and unable to afford a disease …
The disease is undoubtedly a disaster for poor families. Zhang Cai sold all his valuables in order to treat his father-in-law. However, he still could not save the life of the Guo Shan wind blowing candlestick. At that time, the demise of Guo Shan was that his Second grandson or granddaughter was about to die. For this reason, Guo Shan named the child before his death. The male name was Zhang Xiaohu and the female name was Zhang. Xiaohua. After the death of Guo Shan, Zhang Cai ’s mother-in-law ’s body also deteriorated. Fortunately, the birth of Zhang Xiaohu slightly softened the sorrow of the elderly, which only saved the family ’s ordinary days.
The life of School of Agriculture people, do not care about the work, go home to eat. The root of life is Land Protector. In the past, the old Guo family was not thriving. Land Protector could keep up with it. As Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu grew up, Zhang Cai had been worried about farming Land Protector. At the beginning, he and his wife Guo Sufei, pulled Holding Zhang Xiaolong, holding Zhang Xiaohu to Clan Head‘s house and kowtowing to please, Xu Shi looked at the face of Guo Shan and gave a small piece of farmland by the river, which was a solution to Zhang Shan’s “burning urgency”.
Zhang Xiaohua was born when his eldest brother was seven years old, that is, there are already two and a half laborers in the family, and the poverty of the family has been eased slightly. Speaking of the birth of Zhang Xiaohua, it was also a bit of a magical color. The weather was originally dry for more than two months. On the night that Xiaohua was born, there was a sudden heavy rain, the rainfall in the mountains increased sharply, and the small river outside the village had not passed. Bridge, the scene is very scary. While Guo Sufei was also born Xiaohua, he saw the flying flowers in the sky. Therefore, Zhang Cai’s expectations for Xiaohua are very high. Even at the time of the name, I also asked the neighboring village teacher Mister for reference. Many names such as Zhang Zhen, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Xueyou were named. In the end, thinking of the sky and rain, and thinking of the father who passed away, Guo Sufeili gave Zhang Xiaohua such a popular name, although Zhang Xiaohua was a standard boy.
At this time, Xiaohua was already twelve years old, and the children of School of Agriculture were always precocious. As early as a few years ago, Xiaohua had been busy with Tanaka’s affairs with his father and two Elder Brothers. Zhang Cai did n’t think of letting the children go to school to read and recognize words. The long Great Expert can read and write words and seek a merit, but Guocun is a small village, and there are not many people in the family who ca n’t support a small school. The school in the village belongs to another large family, and the fees for the children of Guo Village are also high. Xiaolong and Xiaohu don’t think about it. At that time, the family was poor and Zhang Cai was also powerless. Xiaohua was also sent a few days when he was young, but according to the teaching teacher Mister, the qualification of Xiaohua is medium in the school, and it is a level of literacy and literacy. If you want to dance and learn, you should be in the water. of. Zhang Caiwei weighed his waist bag, and then looked at the thick eyebrows of Xiaohua, he gave up his hopes like Huang Liang, and took the child back to Guozhuang, keeping his farmer’s main business. But the Xiaohua mother seems to remember the auspicious birth of Xiaohua. From time to time, the young people who are literate in the village teach Xiaohua to learn something. Although Xiaohua likes to follow the work of farming behind Elder Brother, the persecution of mother also allowed him to learn a lot of words and be able to read some things. He is a literate at home, but everything related to words is also handled by Zhang Xiaohua.
Today is the first day of Zhang Xiaohua‘s independent farming. His father told him yesterday that this land is for him and belongs to him. Although it is still a piece of Land Protector that does not have any indication that it is plowing, but Xiaohua remembers a scholar in the village said, with a goal you can start, with a start, it is half the success! With success, it is not far from your hope, and the hope of Xiaohua is to eat a piece of pork belly beautifully ~
The day of November is already the beginning of winter. The sun casts dim light and heat on the head. The mountain wind blows across the slope, and the treetops whine. Everything is a sign of silence.
However, Zhang Xiaohua has no effort to pay attention to these. Holding a hoe, he just blindly lay on the quarter ground and worked hard to cultivate it. According to Zhang Xiaohua‘s plan, first dig an oval or quadrilateral border from the all around in the middle of the hillside, and then remove the rocks in the ground to clean up the small stones and then deal with the miscellaneous When the grass grows into scale, then intensive cultivation will be carried out, and the entire field will be carefully cultivated to lay a foundation for planting seeds. Farm work always takes time. When Xiaohua cleans all around and prepares to remove the big stones in the field, it is noon. Xiaohua stopped farming, wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the ground, took the mother to prepare a crock of water, poured half a pot of water, and deepened a long lazy waist, thumped Hammer didn’t straighten his waist, and felt comfortable for a while. Also, although I used to work with my dad and Elder Brother, after all, because it is the smallest, everyone does not let him do more work, and I do n’t feel too tired. Now I have to pick my shoulders and realize the hardship. However, think about grandma, think about mother, as well as your own home and your future, I feel that it is also worth it.
Zhang Xiaohua followed young ’s scholar to recognize words. Although they were n’t serious, they often listened to them to say something very mysterious about the future, life, love, and other Yangchun languages, but they also have some impressions. At that time, I occasionally thought about my life, but it will soon be destroyed by reality and bow my head to face Land Protector. Thinking of this at the moment, it is estimated that it is also a daydream.
Just when Zhang Xiaohua was cranky, his stomach groaned and it seemed time to eat. I used to go home to eat with mother. At this time, it was an independent portal. I opened the fields and farmed. When I came out in the morning, mother said that it was delivered to the ground at noon. Look at the time, and it should be time to come.
Sure enough, a voice came from below the slope, “Xiaohua ~ come to help the mother.” There is a steep **** from the slope, which is very slippery. When I came to the ground last time, Zhang Cai Just fell. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly echoed back, “Mother, wait a moment, I will go down immediately, you don’t have to come up first.” When Zhang Xiaohua walked down the slope, he saw mother, carrying a bamboo basket, was standing by the road and waiting What about him. Zhang Xiaohua took the bamboo basket, carefully supported mother up the hillside, and let mother sit on the stone on the ground, and then opened the cloth on the basket. Inside was a bowl of pork belly, and a few pieces of rough bread. Xiaohua sensiblely asked mother if he had eaten, and mother‘s answer did not surprise him, he had already eaten. Looking at the gorge of Xiaohua, Guo Sufei felt a little pain and said to Xiaohua
“Eat slowly, do n’t choke, drink some water.”
“Mother, why did you suddenly make pork belly?” “Xiaohua asked.
“Today is your own Ten Heavenly Stems job, and your father told you yesterday that I will give you pork belly treats.” Xiaohua said lovingly as she looked at her youngest son. “It’s hard for you, Xiaohua. You are only twelve years old this year. Seeing people in neighboring villages with children as old as you, still studying in the school, you will work in the fields alone.”
“Mother, look at what you said, did my elder brother work separately from his father when he was ten years old, what am I doing? Moreover, this place is mine, and I am Second Brother with my elder brother. I am happy It ’s too late. ”Xiaohua watched mother start nagging, and felt like to say,“ Grandma, did she eat pork belly? ”
“Your grandmother is in her 80s, how can I eat this, I gave her boiled millet porridge.” Xiaohua said to his mother, “I have n’t thought of your grandmother until now, but I lost your grandmother all morning. Thinking of you “
Xiaohua scratched his head embarrassedly, it seems that he didn’t really think so much.
Speaking of Xiaohua‘s grandmother, Guo Sufei is worried. The days at home have gradually improved with the growth of several children, but the body of Xiaohua‘s grandmother is getting worse and worse. Although it is said that people in their 80s are already having a long life for rural people, But who does n’t want their elders to spend more time with themselves? Recently, the grandmother of Xiaohua was even invisible. Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai discussed to let the doctor see, but the grandmother of Xiaohua did not agree with life and death, saying that the age is so old, it is normal to see the eyes. money. The couple couldn’t survive the elderly, so they agreed. Nowadays, the elderly work hard at home every day, and feed the chickens and the pigs and other capable work.
Looking at Xiaohua after eating and drinking water, Guo Sufei said, “Xiaohua, do less in the afternoon, go home early, grandma misses you. I have to give your father and brother food,” Xiaohua. Suddenly, “Mother, then, that pork belly was eaten up by me, what did my dad and brother eat?” “No relation, there are other dishes. Remember to dry less in the afternoon, don’t catch cold” Guo Sufei caressed lovingly Xiaohua‘s head, looking at the anxious blushing little son, as if he were still a little coquettish in front of his knees.
When Zhang Xiaohua helped mother down the **** and looked at the back of mother, he felt very guilty. Oh, how did I eat all the pork belly?
