Chapter 1: The Son of the Poor Door
This is Xiahe Village, an ordinary but not ordinary small village.
There is a village in the field, there is a mountain behind the village, the ancient trees on the mountain are thick and shady, there is water in front of the village, the water leans on the countryside, there is the simplicity of the fence thatched house, the purity of the green mountains and clear water, and the tranquility of the pastoral scenery.
At this time, it was twilight, and the smoke on the roof of the farmhouse that rose like floating clouds, the "moo" sound of the ploughing ox driven back by the shepherd boy playing the flute, and the folk song full of rough and unrhythmic folk songs full of mountains and fields when he returned with his hoe, sketched a picture of the peaceful life in the mountain village like a "paradise" at dusk.
In modern times, this place can definitely be called the most beautiful village, but in ancient times, it was different, only poverty and backwardness had no beauty.
There is a high slope at the west end of the village, and you can see most of the village on the high slope, and there is a little child of about five or six years old who looks at the village with a tiger head and a tiger brain on the high slope and sighs.
What if the scenery of green mountains and green waters is good, the transportation is inconvenient, relying on the sky for food, and it has been devastated by natural disasters. People who are struggling with the food and clothing line, in addition to eating, what else do they appreciate! Let him see the rising sun from the mountains, it is better to give him a multigrain steamed bun.
Isn't it a little strange for a child to make such an emotion?
In fact, although he is a five- or six-year-old child, Lizi is a graduate student majoring in ancient Chinese who has been repeatedly ravaged on the road to employment in the 21st century, with no money, no power, and no girlfriend. After 100 consecutive job search failures, before going to bed, I sighed that it was difficult for a liberal arts dog majoring in ancient Chinese to find a job with a professional counterpart, but I didn't expect to wake up and become this little kid with the big name Zhu Ping'an and the little name Xiaoyi.
This body had an illness before he wore it, and he probably didn't get through it, but he didn't know how to wake up and stiffened.
After many days of knocking on the side and learning that this is the Ming Dynasty, the era of the prevalence of the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Strands, I can only look up at the sky at 45 degrees, and I am really professional
Think about the embarrassment of having nowhere to show your profession in the 21st century, since you now have a chance to get a job in heaven, it would be a waste of God's gift if you don't grasp the opportunity, not to mention that you were still an orphan in your previous life.
"Xiao Bi, Xiao Bi, go home, be careful of being beaten by your mother again."
A group of bears and children roared past under the high slope, lest they go home late and be pressed to the ground by the elders of the family to rub and rub.
Xiao Biao! This nickname is also drunk. Even if it's a tiger or a stone, it's better than the name. Of course, he just complained and complained, and he also knew the reason for giving children cheap names in ancient times.
Ouyang Xiu's "Daoshan Qinghua" recorded: "People want children to grow up easily, often in the name of cheap, such as dogs, sheep, dogs, horses, and the like. "The ancients believed that children were very susceptible to various external factors after birth, especially the customs that were generally superstitious, and believed that people had three souls and six spirits, and they could not live without any of them. Children are born through Hades Pass, Hit Life Pass, Jade Hanging Pass, Four Seasons Pass, Monk Pass, Luojing Pass and other passes. The purpose of giving bad names and cheap names such as "black cow", "stone", "stone stone", "steel bullet", "iron egg" and "rotten egg" for children is to deceive the ghosts, so that the prince of Yama will not think that he is a person after hearing it, so he will naturally not go to trouble, so he will give up the hook and let the child escape the trouble.
During this period, there was also a saying that "pigs come to be poor, and dogs come to get rich". In this village, there are really a lot of boys called "dogs", such as "East Dog", "West Dog", as well as "Dog Treasure", "Dog Cub", and "Dog Girl". The elders gave Zhu Ping'an a nickname Xiaoyu for two considerations, one is that the village has almost finished calling the nicknames that can be called dogs, and the elders don't have a drop of ink in their stomachs, so they can't think of a nickname related to dogs; On the other hand, the family is already poor enough, there is no room for poverty anymore, and it is easier to support a poorer nickname.
When Zhu Ping'an heard that there was a little boy in the village called "dog girl" or even "dog shit", he suddenly felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
It has been more than ten days since he came to this era, and Zhu Ping'an has gone from being uncomfortable to reluctantly accepting this fact.
In this era of life, name habits are secondary, and the most important thing is living habits. This is the era when the old morality and old etiquette are prevalent, there is no electricity, no network, three outlines and five constants, three from the four virtues, ghosts and gods and so on are popular, so those novels written through the protagonist with the halo of the protagonist, up is the tiger body shocks the world to the heart, the golden finger is invincible in the world, pure nonsense, if you cross like this, you would have been burned into ashes by the village elders and the like. In this kind of feudal ritual cannibalistic society, if you have a slight abnormality, you may be burned as a monster.
This is really not an exaggeration, because the old king of the village was forced to pour a large bowl of rune paper into ashes because he had been talking in his dreams for a few nights; Wang Er Mazi of the neighboring village learned to speak from orchids in the county seat, and after returning to the village, he was treated as a ghost by the village old man and tied to a pillar and exposed to the sun for three days before he finished the job.
How can one person stand against the whole world.
Therefore, in the more than ten days since he came to this world, Zhu Ping'an has been working hard to play the role of a good child. Be cautious and try not to do anything out of the ordinary so as not to be tied to a wooden rack for a barbecue, and he doesn't want to speak for himself (with salt).
It's not early, you have to hurry home, or you'll be scolded again. Zhu Ping'an took a short leg from the high slope, in the direction of home, and ran down wildly.
How do you feel the wind blowing at the base of your thighs? Could it be that his little short legs have taken a galloping speed?
After Zhu Ping'an ran down the slope, he stopped, and when he looked down, he saw a small noodle under the stall, waving in the wind.
Open crotch pants?
What's the matter with you letting a person in his twenties wear open crotch pants, and let him not play happily.
Is it tolerable or unbearable! When you go back, you must fight for the right not to wear open crotch pants.
Along the way, thatched adobe houses are not at the mercy of the rules, Xiahe Village, although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it is still a poor and remote country, because the local people's use of mountains and rivers is limited to meeting the needs of life, to build a house, go up the mountain to cut a few trees and drag them home to make beams; There is no rice to put in the pot, go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables and fruits, and go into the water to catch two small fish and throw them in the pot. The feudal small-scale peasant economy still lived on the fields, and most of the villagers relied on one acre and three points of land to fill their stomachs, and the relatively wealthy were only a few landlords.
The landlord's family can rent out the land, sell the grain, and buy the land again when they have the money, a virtuous circle; In ancient times, there was no policy of reducing or reducing land tax, so it was good to work hard to grow grain for a year, and in addition to the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it would be good for the family to chew and eat their stomachs.
The Zhu family is a little better, there are more than ten acres of fertile land at home, which is considered a medium-sized family in the village, but it can't bear the large number of people, plus the uncle is not involved in production, and the cost of Wenshu's scientific research is quite a lot, and the old Zhu family is also overstretched.
Of course, if you look at it from the outside, the Zhu family is okay, compared with the common thatched adobe houses in the village, at least the Zhu family is still a civil structure of the Zhu family compound, but in fact, the Zhu family is not as good as the average family in the village.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the door, he happened to meet his mother Chen in this life, Chen was standing at the gate of the courtyard with horizontal eyebrows and staring at himself, and when he saw himself coming back, his eyes were like ice and snow in spring, and he was waiting for himself to come back. Chen is in his thirties, wearing a blue coarse cloth jacket with a placket, his hair is tied at the back of his head, a wooden hairpin is inserted, a pair of silver cloves are on his ears, and his eyebrows are a little spicy.
"Mother, I will never wear open crotch pants again." Zhu Ping'an's little short legs just stepped into the big threshold, and he began to fight for the right not to wear open crotch pants.
Before the words fell, Chen's ears were grabbed.
"Little rabbit, you are still turning the sky upside down, I worked hard to raise you, and I saved money to make clothes for you, you still dislike it, don't wear open crotch pants when you are old!"
"Mother, ah, it hurts, it hurts, I'm not a two- or three-year-old child anymore." Zhu Ping'an took Chen's arm with his small hand and cushioned his toes to relieve a little pain.
Fart, you are only five years old, Chen looked down at his five-year-old son and said such a sentence, inexplicably happy, his youngest son is much more lively than his brother.
Although it is funny, but the strength in Chen's hands has not become smaller, this stinky boy is not honest, he was born sick a few days ago, and after he got better, he became more solid, and ran out all day long.
"You still know that it hurts, you can't see people everywhere all day long, and when you are abducted by the flowers, the old lady is calm." Chen glared at Zhu Ping'an as he spoke, and felt palpitations when he thought that there was a child missing in the county, but fortunately, it was safe for people to come and go in the village.
"Second sister-in-law, if there is a boy who is not wild, it is better to be honest, so don't punish Xiaobi." The third aunt Zhang, who was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks by the well in the yard, looked at Xiao Yu with some envy, and persuaded Chen to dissipate her anger on the side. The Zhang family has just reached thirty, but so far there is only one daughter Zhu Pingyu who is one year younger than Zhu Ping'an, so he is particularly envious of the Chen family's two sons.
"The third family, don't intercede for him, this bastard boy just won't go to the house for three days." Chen said, grabbing Xiao Zhu Ping'an's ears and pulling them to the stove room.
"Say, don't you dare to eat at home in the future." Chen said loudly, but took out a peeled boiled egg from the steamer, looked out of the window and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he quietly stuffed it into Zhu Ping'an's hand.
Eggs, Zhu Ping'an's eyes were shining, and after eating coarse tea and light rice for more than ten days, he finally saw the meat.
There's no way to refuse.
"It hurts, mother, I don't dare anymore." Zhu Ping'an took the egg, but he pretended to scream in his mouth.
In the 21st century, eating is one of his few hobbies, and when "A Bite of China" was broadcast, he ate all the cheap and delicious food with frugality, and he can definitely be called a senior foodie.
Pure natural and pollution-free, the entrance is soft, the taste is really good, I feel many times better than modern eggs, of course, it may also be because since I arrived here are coarse tea and light rice do not know the taste of meat.
The little clever ghost, Chen sneered, tapped Zhu Ping'an's head, and whispered, "Hurry up and eat, when you go to the table, your heart is on the edge of the sky and is close to the big room again." ”
At this time, Zhu Ping'an's heart was extremely warm, whether it was a spicy mother or a wooden father, or a brother who was about ten years old but rarely became the same honest, they were all good to themselves in their hearts.
Father, mother, brother, and warmth.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Ping'an accepts the fact of crossing, in the 21st century, as an orphan, he has never felt the warmth of his family, and he feels the love of an old cow licking a calf here, so he is slowly willing.
"Mother, you are so good, I will be filial to you when I grow up." Zhu Ping'an hugged Chen's thighs and felt it. I am your son, and I will be filial to you in the future.
Chen looked at his youngest son Lai Pi and coquettishly behaved with him, obviously very useful, and felt that his younger son was much cuter than his eldest son. I asked the boss to come over before, and the stupid boy said to his father that it was not a big husband to steal food, and he almost didn't make Chen angry, so he had to drive him out, but fortunately his youngest son was not so old-fashioned, and he tapped on the door of his younger son's head funny, "If you don't get angry with me, I'll thank God, wipe your mouth quickly and save yourself from being seen." ”
