June 1996.

The dreary air was filled with scorching air currents, dark clouds squeezed the earth, suffocating, and the normally active summer cicadas were nowhere to be seen.

A storm is coming!

Chen Village, a remote village in Shaanxi Province. The population is not large, because most of them are surnamed Chen, so they got this name.

Chen Xiao was very depressed!

Originally, rebirth was a kind of welfare in the eyes of others, but for a girlfriend who had struggled at the bottom of the Shanghai market for 7 or 8 years and finally saved money to pay a down payment on a house and was ready to win and marry a girlfriend who had been in love for 5 years, he woke up and found himself back in 1985, the childhood that he never wanted to recall. Everything is strange, and everything is so familiar!

Chen Xiao was five years old this year!

The main thing is to be poor, and to be poor!

Computer? No. There is only one TV with a black and white picture, and the picture is put together one by one, and it can't be started at night, because the voltage is not enough!

Cell phone? No. There is no landline, and communication depends on letters!

At night, I basically turned off the lights and went to bed at 7 o'clock, and there was no way that the electricity bill was too expensive, 9 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and at this time, the annual income of a family was only a few thousand yuan. I vaguely remember that my uncle can only use 3 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, and I can't imagine how to use it at all!

Travel: 11 Road. The only bicycle belongs to the production team, and ordinary people don't use it at all! You have to walk more than 10 kilometers to the town, let alone the city, and save it!

Ten years have passed silently! Now Chen Xiao is 12 years old!

Chen Xiao is also a person from the past, otherwise he would have gone crazy.

It's really hard! Someone else can accumulate a lot of wealth in a few days and a few months after being reborn, think about yourself.

"Hey!" sighed silently!

"Why are you so idle, it's going to rain like this,"

Chen Xiao followed the prestige.

"Uncle".

"Did you get something good again", the uncle looked at Chen Xiao's bulging trouser pocket and teased.

"Uncle, let me tell you that this is a good thing......" Chen Xiao was about to take it out of his trouser pocket and let the uncle look at it.

"Well, I don't look at it. Your baby will pick up those rags when you're okay for a day", before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, he turned around and left.

"Uncle, don't go, your broken wrench is good, give it to me when you want."

"Broken things, you little bunny doesn't even care about my things, my grandfather passed it on to me."

"Didn't you say that you picked it up last time you were drunk, and when did your grandfather pass it on to him," Chen Xiao muttered.

A group of illiterate people will always regret one day!

As the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Anxi can even be touched by the remote Chen Village, such as antiques. Of course, in this era, antiques and other things are not worth a bite to eat in the countryside, and the main thing is that no one knows the goods! Therefore, there are often some merchants who receive dry goods at unimaginably low prices in the name of receiving dry goods!

Therefore, Chen Xiao, who is not a pit, is duty-bound to take responsibility!

So every family in the village has been visited by Chen Xiao, but there are a lot of pits, of course, if you can't get it, you have to continue to pit!

Of course, at first, when Dad Chen saw these "rags" that Chen Xiao got back, he was opposed! But one time, Dad Chen was drunk and threw Chen Xiao's baby away, and after a month-long cold war between father and son, he acquiesced!

Who called this child different! Since he was a child, he has been a model in the village, and when other people's children are digging birds and touching fish, Chen Xiao has already helped the family collect firewood and collect pigweed! Every time other families educate children, they will say, "Look at how other people's Chen Xiao is", so even children will be jealous when they are too many times!

In the end, Chen Xiao has no playmates, and of course, a 30-year-old disdain to play with a group of little kids!

At first, Chen's mother thought that the child was paralyzed, and basically never saw Chen Xiao cry or laugh. I have looked at many old Chinese medicine doctors, and finally Chen Xiao can't bear it anymore!

"Mom, I just don't want to laugh or cry"

That's it!

Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Chen Xiao also accelerated the pace of going home!

"Mom, I'll move these dry firewood to the back of the house, it's raining soon."

"There are a lot of dry firewood behind the house, these are still half dry, just put them"

"It's raining for a month, and there is no firewood at home."

"You kid, this rain won't last a month"

I think of the great flood in 96 years in my previous life, but the rain fell for more than 40 days one after another, although the disaster in Shaanxi Province was not particularly serious! However, landslides, houses collapsed, hunger and cold abounded! My own family was not spared, and I even heard that some of the door panels were split into firewood to boil water for cooking!

Chen Xiao didn't explain more, found a firewood knife from the kitchen and began to chop wood.

Chen's mother knew that it was useless to stop it, so she didn't say anything more, the main thing was that this kid had a bullish temper, and it was useless for anyone to say it!

"Dad, the drainage ditch behind our house is still too shallow, and the drainage in front of us is blocked."

"I listened to you last year, deepened, our place is poor and bad, it can't rain so much, and if it's blocked, follow me to pick up and pick up"

Heavy rain has been falling for a month!

The following happened during this time:

1. Li Ergou's house collapsed, no one died, and he was slightly injured!

2. There are many houses in the village that have collapsed to varying degrees!

3. There is not much dry firewood!

The village chief, that is, Chen Xiao's uncle, called everyone to a meeting!

"Everyone is talking about it, what can you do now" The uncle is honest and honest, and it is also for everyone to be the village chief for the sake of the second-generation boss. Plus things have been tricky lately, so I'm out of ideas!

"This is someone who has moved the dragon vein, and the dragon lord is angry," the second grandfather said.

Grandpa Chen Xiao has four brothers, the third in line, and the fourth died young.

"Second brother, it's a new society now, don't you take a set," Grandpa Chen Xiao retorted.

"This is the experience of the older generation, I will hang up tomorrow as a paper-cutting person"

No one squeaks for a while, and people are used to blindly following when there is no way. After all, the paper man is not once or twice, every time it rains heavily for several days, you can see the paper man hanging on the tree in front of every house!

"Everyone said, this rain has been raining for a month, and it's uncertain when it will stop, and there is no hope for any wheat in our field, so how can we come to harvest grain when the time comes!" the uncle diverted the topic.

When these words were thrown, no one talked to them, and they all smoked dry cigarettes.

As soon as the words came out, the uncle regretted a little, isn't this even worse! He knocked on the cigarette gun and looked at Chen's father, hoping that he would come out to play a round!

"Third child, you usually have a lot of ideas, you say a few words" The uncle who didn't get a response said directly.

Chen's father is the third, and Chen Xiao has two uncles, an aunt, and three uncles. Just count Chen's father has a high education, and when he encounters something that he can't make up his mind, the uncle points to Chen's father to get an idea!

"This is all so badly affected, the government can't ignore it! And at the moment, there is not much grain in every household, so we will drink the northwest wind after handing over the grain to the public!"

"That's it, we don't pay if we don't have food" and then several followed!

"That family came to collect grain, if you can take the lead and don't pay it, we won't pay it after you," Uncle Cousin sneered.

"I can't do this head ......" After speaking, there was no voice, and I guess I regretted being a bird!

Since ancient times, those who make trouble have only asked about the first evil, regardless of coercion. Some people have even displayed their official and prestige to the fullest, and they are obedient to those who take the lead in making trouble, and they can catch you in the number and lock you up for a few days! Everyone has a spectrum in their hearts, and it is clear that taking the lead in resisting the public and grain is a thankless task, after all, who will do things that have no interests! Moreover, people who have no prestige really can't take this head!

In the previous life, it was like this, some people shouted not to pay, but as a result, the public came to pay more actively than anyone else!

In the previous life, the village was restless because of the matter of handing over the grain, and all kinds of coercion on the grain, and in the end, everyone was forced to hand over the grain. Although it is said that relevant disaster relief plans will be promulgated, including exemption from paying public goods, food and disaster relief materials. But the policy has been implemented in Chen Village, and it is estimated that the Year of the Monkey is the month of the horse!

After the disaster, the young and strong people in the village all went to Xishan Province to dig coal or Nanhe Province to dig gold mines! If they had no travel expenses, they went to borrow it, and if they couldn't borrow it, they sold their blood! The little rations at home were left for the women and children, and although they might not have enough to eat, they would certainly not starve to death in their own homes!

As a result, as soon as the young man left, he left a group of old and young women and children, and no one came forward!

So Chen Xiao decided to take care of it! As long as he persuaded his grandfather, with his grandfather's prestige, he would unite with several other villages at that time, and this matter would be done! But this cannot be said now, and it is useless to say it, and it will only be ridiculed!

"We'll talk about this later, let's make a long story short, now it's imperative that each family first get the drainage of the eaves behind their houses. We are all earthen houses, and if the foundation of the roof is not soaked in water, the house will collapse. Now there are several houses that have collapsed to varying degrees, so everyone must do a good job of prevention, and everyone who has a serious collapse will help pick up the next together, after all, the villagers. Let's talk about the two dogs......"

"He Li Ergou deserves it, everyone is busy draining at night, he is still sleeping alone, why didn't he crush him to death when the house collapsed" Before the uncle finished speaking, someone interjected.

"After all, it's a human being, let's not see death without saving it! In short, it's a blessing that people are okay. The village committee means to let him live in the cowshed first."

Of course, no one objected, the cowshed was shared by the village, and no one cared if it wasn't their own property, and the smell was really unbearable for ordinary people. The main thing is that you can also take care of the cattle by the way, the best of both worlds!

During this period, Cheng's father left some dry firewood for his family, and the rest was given to several households that were in short supply!

After all, it has rained for so many days, there are too many bacteria in the water, and drinking raw water will cause a slight diarrhea and fever, and it will be a serious plague!

This coincides with Chen Xiao!
