Chapter 1 Land Reclamation ()

An unnamed continent, a certain day, clear skies, no clouds and no wind, a round of the sun in the sky, projected an infinite light.

Suddenly, a ring-like thing suddenly flashed from the sky. I don’t know where it came from. It’s just a sudden appearance. It seems to have just passed through time and space, with a very high speed, and shot at the mountain below. In the past, there was a weird "squeaky" sound.

On weekdays, if something comes from outside the sky, is it not the tail with a thick smoke, whistling, the sound is so great that it can be seen in the whole world.

However, this thing was only a short momentary sound, and then a long sound, "deep" into the stone between the mountains, no trace.

This time was extremely short, and did not cause any biological reaction. Even the mountain birds near the left did not have time to fly.

Later, the birds that were shocked, a few laps in the air, fell and fell, and they did not know that there was so much mystery on the mainland.

I don’t know how many years later, the mulberry field is a sea of ​​people, and the mountain is also sunken. It has turned into a hillside. Many places have also become flat. Gradually, there are people, and some people live around this hillside. Down, and this mysterious ring can bring a wonderful story? Zhang Xiaohua is very happy, a happy expression on her face.

His eyes stared at the wasteland in front of him, as if the place was a fragrant pork belly.

In fact, it is not so much a wasteland, it is better to say that it is a mountain, because this land is in the middle of a hillside, but this **** is relatively slow, and it can open a land of about four points. But this piece of land is also the result of Zhang Xiaohua's hard work and finding the patriarch for nearly two months. And Zhang Xiaohua also knows that there are many barren hills in the village, but there are few places where crops can be planted, so everyone wants to find a place to produce rations in addition to the original land.

Most of the other people in the village are looking for the wasteland near the river. Their family is only because they have no money to manage the patriarchs. They only look far away and look for places that others don't want. When they look for the west, they find such a land.

The village where Zhang Xiaohua lives is called Guozhuang. The square is probably four miles away, surrounded by mountains on both sides. This mountain is not high, and it is more appropriate to call it a hill. A large river flows through the village, and a small bridge on the river connects the small roads of the neighboring village. There are about forty households in Guozhuang. Half of them are named Guo. They are a small family. They live in the middle of the village. Others are scattered around the village. The people in the countryside are very simple, but they are also in the market. Most of Guozhuang’s affairs are presided over by the patriarch of Guo’s family. Although they live in a village, after all, the surnames are different, and when the patriarch handles things, it will inevitably be biased towards one side of the family. The location of a good residential area in the village, and the good cropland outside the village are mostly held in the hands of the villagers of Guo. However, after all, it is a folks in the township. Although the trivial matters continue, large disputes have never appeared in this small Guozhuang. People in Guozhuang feel that they are living a life of peach blossoms.

Zhang Xiaohua's Niang Guo Sufei is Guo Zhuangren's family. It is considered to be a partiality within the Guo family. It has also been "brilliant", but to his mother's generation, except Guo Sufei, there is no male in the family, and Zhang Xiaohua's grandfather Guo Shan It is also an old woman who raised her daughter to the time of marriage. It was also the time when the old couple were married. In order to support the elderly, Zhang Xiaohua and his wife, Zhang Cai, entered the Guo family.

It is said that the wealth of the rural family is mostly related to the labor in the family. Guo Shan has no son. Before he raised Guo Sufei, he always thought about the boy who came after the relatives. However, because of various problems, the family was supported by Guo Shan and the family was poor. This shows that. However, Zhang Cai also struggled. After Guo Jia, he was a good at farming. He was far more than his father-in-law Guo Shan in increasing family labor. One year after his marriage, Guo Sufei was pregnant and had a grandson. Named Zhang Xiaolong. Guoshan’s old couple saw the birth of his grandson and he was very pleased. Just as the whole family is looking forward to the bright future, Guo Shan has become overworked, and he can’t afford it...

The disease is undoubtedly a disaster for the poor families. Zhang Cai sold all the valuable things in order to cure his father-in-law. However, it still cannot save Guo Shanfeng’s life like a candle. When Zhang Xiaolong was two years old, he The death of Guo Shan is that his second grandson or granddaughter is about to pass away. For this reason, Guo Shan gave the child a name before his death. The male is Zhang Xiaohu and the female is Zhang Xiaohua. . After Guoshan passed away, Zhang Cai’s mother-in-law’s body was getting worse and worse. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohu’s birth, slightly diluting the sorrow of the elderly, saved the family’s bleak days.

The life of the farmer and family, do not care about working in the field, go home to eat. The roots of the life are on the land. Before the old Guo family was not busy, the land could be used up. With Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu growing up, Zhang Cai had been worrying about farming. At the beginning, he and his wife Guo Sufei, La Zhang Xiaolong, holding Zhang Xiaohu to the head of the patriarch’s family, asked Ann, Xu was looking at Guoshan’s face and gave a small piece of ploughing to the riverside, which solved Zhang’s “immediately urgent”.

Zhang Xiaohua was born when his eldest brother was seven years old. It was already two and a half years old in the family, and the situation of family poverty was slightly alleviated. When it comes to the birth of Zhang Xiaohua, it is quite a bit magical. It was originally a drought for more than two months. On the night of the birth of Xiaohua, there was a sudden rainstorm. The rainfall in the mountains increased sharply, and the small river outside the village did not have a small Bridge, the scene is very scary. When Guo Sufei was also a small flower, he even saw the flying flowers in the sky. Therefore, Zhang Cai’s expectation for Xiaohua is very high. Even when I was named, I asked the neighboring villagers for reference. Many names such as Zhang Zhen, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Xueyou were created, but they were picked and picked up, but they didn’t know which one was good. Finally, I thought of the rain of the sky, thinking of the father who passed away, Guo Sufei arguing for Zhang Xiaohua to have such a popular name, although Zhang Xiaohua is a standard boy.

At this time, Xiaohua is already twelve years old. The children of the farmhouse are always precocious. As early as a few years ago, Xiaohua has been following the affairs of Tanaka and his two brothers. Zhang Cai didn't even think about letting the children go to school to read and read words. When they grew up, they could read and write words and seek a name. But Guocun was a small village. There were no scholars in the family. They could not support a small school. The school in the neighboring village belongs to another big family. The fees for the children in Guocun are also high. Xiaolong and Xiaohu don’t think about it. At that time, the family was poor, and Zhang was also powerless. Xiaohua was sent for a few days when he was a child. However, according to the teachings, the qualification of Xiaohua is medium in the school. To do his best is the level of literacy. If you want to make a name for the dance, you should be in the water. of. Zhang Caizhen took a look at his pockets, and then looked at the thick eyebrows of Xiaohua, and gave up the expectation of Huang Wei. He took the children back to Guozhuang and defended the main business of the farmers. However, the mother of Xiaohua 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 her brother, the forced perseverance of the mother also allows him to learn a lot of words, can read some things, is considered a literate person at home, but everything related to the word is also handled by Zhang Xiaohua.

Today is the first day of Zhang Xiaohua’s independent cultivation. He told him yesterday that this land is for him and belongs to him. Although there is still no sign to show that it is the land for ploughing, Xiaohua remembers that a scholar in the village said that with the goal, he can start. With the beginning, it is half the success! With success, it is not far from your hopes, but the hope of Xiaohua is that Meimei eats a pork belly~

The day of November is already the beginning of the winter. The sun casts a bleak light and heat on the head. The mountain wind blows from the slope, and the treetops that are brought up creak. Everything is a sign of silence.

However, Zhang Xiaohua has no time to pay attention to these. He took the **** and only tried to open it on this quarter. According to Zhang Xiaohua's plan, first, an elliptical or quadrilateral boundary is dug around the land in the center of the hillside, and then the rock in the ground is removed, the small stones are cleaned, and then the miscellaneous stones are processed. When the grass is gradually becoming a scale, it will be intensively cultivated, and the whole field will be carefully ploughed to lay a foundation for seeding. Farming always takes time. When the flowers are cleaned up and the big stones in the land are ready to be removed, it is already noon. The small flower stopped the farming, wiped the sweat from the forehead, went to the ground, took the water of a pot of pottery that the mother had prepared, and poured half a can of water, long and deep. I felt so comfortable that I didn’t have a straight waist. Also, although I used to work with my brothers and sisters, after all, because it is the smallest, everyone does not let him do more, and he does not feel too tired. Now he has picked one shoulder and only knows the hardships. However, think about grandma, think about the mother, and own home, their own future, the feeling is also very worthwhile.

Zhang Xiaohua followed the young scholars to read the words. Although they were not serious, they often listened to them saying that they had a very mysterious future. Life, love, and the like of Yangchun language, they also had some impressions. When they work on weekdays, when they are fine, Occasionally, I will think about my own life, but I will soon be destroyed by reality and bow down to the land. I think of this at this time, it is estimated to be a daydream, busy sneak.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was thinking about it, the stomach was always screaming, it seems that it should be eaten. In the past, I went to eat with my mother. I was an independent portal. I planted land in Kaitian. When I came out in the morning, my mother said that it was delivered to the ground at noon, and I should have come to see the hour.

Sure enough, there was a voice coming from the slope. "Little flower ~ to help the mother.", there is a steep **** from the slope, it is very slippery, when I saw the ground last time, Zhang Cai fell. A trip. Zhang Xiaohua quickly replied, "Mother, wait a minute, I will go down, you should not come up first." When Zhang Xiaohua walked down the hillside, she saw her mother, holding a bamboo basket, standing on the side of the road. Wait for him. Zhang Xiaohua took the bamboo basket and carefully helped the mother to walk up the hillside and let the mother sit on the stone on the ground. This opened the cloth on the basket. Inside was a bowl of pork belly and a few pieces of matte. steamed bread. The little flower is sensible and asks if the mother has eaten it. The mother’s answer is not unexpected. He has already eaten it. Looking at the way the little flowers are gorging, Guo Sufei has a dim sum, saying to Xiaohua

"Slow down, don't squat, drink some water."

"Mother, how do you suddenly make pork belly?" "Little flower asked.

"Today is your own day to work, you confessed yesterday, give you a pork belly." Xiaohua Niang looked lovingly at her youngest son. "It's hard for you, Xiaohua. You are only 12 years old this year. If you look at a child in a neighboring village with you, you are still studying in the school. You are working alone in the field."

"Mother, look at what you said, my older brother is not only ten years old, but I am working separately with you. I am so embarrassed. Moreover, this place is mine, my second brother is still with the big brother. I am too happy to come. "When the flower looks at the mother, she starts to groan. I feel like saying, "Grandma, is she eating pork belly?"

"Your grandmother is over 80 years old. How can I eat this? I will give her a little millet porridge." Xiaohua said, "I have only remembered your grandmother until now, and lost your grandmother and remembered you all morning." "

Xiaohua was embarrassed to scratch his head, and it seems that he really didn't think so much.

Speaking of the grandmother of Xiaohua, Guo Sufei has a cloud. The days of the family grew up with the growth of several children, but the body of the grandmother of Xiaohua is getting worse and worse, although it is already rare for the rural people to be in their 80s. But who does not want their elders to accompany themselves more than a long way. Recently, Xiaohua’s grandmother couldn’t see her eyes. Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai discussed the doctor’s wish, but Xiaohua’s grandmother did not agree. It’s normal to say that the age is so big, and the eyes are invisible. I don’t want to spend any more. money. The couple did not know the old man and agreed. Nowadays, the old man is working hard at home every day, feeling black to feed a chicken, and feeding a capable job like a pig.

Looking at the small flowers after dinner, drinking water, Guo Sufei said, "small flowers, do less in the afternoon, go home early, grandma wants you. I have to go to give you a meal with my brother", the small flowers stunned "Mother, then, that pork belly was eaten by me, what do you eat with your brother?" "It doesn't matter, there are other dishes. Remember to do less in the afternoon, don't catch cold." Guo Sufei caressed the head of the flower. Looking at the eager blushing little son, as if he was still a little bit of a slap in front of his knees.

When Zhang Xiaohua helped the mother to go down the slope, watching the back of the mother, the heart is very embarrassing, hey, how do I eat the pork belly.
