Chapter 119: Horsepower and Green Beads
There is a village in the east of Yongan County called Dingmali, there is a happy event in Dingmali these days, it is two young people who got married, because of this happy event, the whole village is lively.
The young man who got married, the man was called Ma Li, who was one in his twenties, and the female was Lu Zhu, who was only seventeen years old.
Anyone who knows the details of this young man is very emotional, because Ma Li and Luzhu are different from others in Ding Mali, and the two were still working as maids and servants in a large family in Yongan County a month ago.
Ma Li and Lu Zhu are poor people, one disaster year, Ma Li's family has no food to eat, Ma Ma's parents are forced to sell their son to a large family, and the little silver money they get to buy food, so that the rest of the family can live.
Ma Li did not resent his parents for being sold, this was a choice without a choice, if he did not sell a child in exchange for food, I am afraid that the whole family would starve to death.
And selling a child, even if he is used as a cow and a horse for a large family, he can survive, and the money obtained from selling the child in exchange for food can almost make the family live.
It's flesh and blood, but in the face of life and death, I have to make a choice, when I was just sold, I still have resentment, and when I grow up, the resentment is gone.
And Luzhu, more pitiful than horsepower, Luzhu's mother was seriously ill, the family had no money to treat Luzhu's mother, Luzhu's father had to sell Luzhu, and got silver money to treat Luzhu's mother, but Luzhu's mother's illness was not cured, and he died of illness a few months later, Luzhu's father died of depression because of the death of Luzhu's mother and the sale of the oasis, and died of depression in a few years.
It can be said that Luzhu has no close relatives.
In the same mansion, Ma Li and Green Bead got acquainted and slowly developed a good feeling, but this was useless, as slaves of a large family, they were not qualified to talk about marriage, and maybe when Green Bead would be rewarded by the master to a certain valued subordinate.
Ma Li and Green Bead had thought of escaping from here to live in another place, but they didn't have much money on them, and how could they live, they could only silently repeat this hopeless life in the mansion day after day, year after year.
Unexpectedly, with the advent of the People's Army, everything changed, the deed of sale was abolished, and the horsepower and green beads were free.
When Ma Li and Green Bead got the news, because of their timid personalities, the two didn't make any moves, and waited silently, waiting for the other maids to act.
After seeing the other maids free, Ma Li and Green Pearl couldn't wait to leave the place where they had lived for more than ten years.
The master's family is not good or bad for horsepower and green beads, at least there will be no random scolding, but horsepower and green beads are just subordinates in the mansion, and the situation of subordinates is relatively poor.
Even though the master's family gave the maid a lot of money to keep him, Ma Li and Green Bead resolutely left and returned to the place where Ma Li was born.
This road horsepower is very unfamiliar, only walked once, was done when it was sold, after becoming a slave of a large family, horsepower has never walked this road again, nor has he seen his parents and relatives in a county.
Fortunately, when he was sold, he had some memory, remembering Dingmari, he knew the area where his home was located early, and after leaving the mansion and leaving the city, he walked for almost a day, and finally came to Dingmari, and came to the garden house where he once lived, and compared with the memory in his mind, it did not change much.
"You are?"
Ma Li's father couldn't recognize his biological son at the first glance when he saw Ma Li, too, for more than ten years, from teenager to youth, the changes were too great, and Ma Ma's father was more than ten years old, but he looked old, and Ma Ma was still able to recognize it.
When he learned that the young man in front of him was his son, Mali's father cried with joy and said something that he regretted selling Mali.
When the family saw each other, they first cried and cried, then they were smiling, and they kept saying words of thanks to the People's Army, that it was the People's Army that brought down the landlords who oppressed and exploited them, that the People's Army exterminated the bandits who ravaged the surrounding areas, that the People's Army gave everyone farmland, that they finally had their own farmland, and that they would be able to eat enough in the future, and now the People's Army will also send back horsepower.
There are also green beads brought back by horsepower, which makes horsepower's parents smile.
The day after Ma Li and Luzhu returned to Dingmali, the staff of the People's Army Government who remained in Dingmali registered their household registration, and immediately divided a sufficient amount of farmland for the two of them.
Farming is harder, but it's not so bad compared to being a slave in the master's house.
If you have a household registration and a field, you will have a house, and the house can be built later, Luzhu has been by Ma Li's side, and Ma Ma's parents have asked Ma Ma to marry Lu Zhu earlier.
Just half a month after Ma Li and Luzhu returned to Dingmari, the two officially got married and became a small couple, the wedding was very simple, they were in the countryside, and they were ordinary people, there was no need to beat gongs and drums.
Cook a relatively good meal, invite neighbors and relatives, and under the witness of neighbors and relatives, worship heaven and earth, worship the high hall twice, and worship husband and wife, and it is over.
Becoming a father in the presence of everyone, Ma Li and Green Bead are full of emotion and excitement in their hearts, they have always wanted to see today's scene, they used to be so unbelievable to today's scene, but now it really appeared.
No one calls the two anymore, no longer needs to be cattle and horses, their own lives have arrived.
The matter of horsepower and green beads made the people of Dingmali feel a lot of emotion, if they could choose, no one would be willing and reluctant to sell their children and sell them to large families as cattle and horses.
Once the horsepower was sold, everyone thought that the horsepower would never come back, and this life was a slave of the master's family, tired to death.
However, the People's Army that defeated the landlords, exterminated the bandits, and distributed farmland to them sent Ma Ma back, if such a thing had been under the previous government rule, it would not have happened at all, and perhaps the next day after Ma Ma returned, someone would come and arrest Ma Ma back, and then beat him half to death.
The People's Army has done so many things that the government could not do before, and the People's Army is worthy of its name, and the People's Army is really the people's army, the people's army, and the People's Army will protect all the people and bring good life to the people.
The matter of horsepower and green beads has happened many times under the rule of the People's Army, and every time it is a story that makes people move and cry, and it will always make the people more supportive of the People's Army.
It is precisely because of such one thing after another that young people continue to choose to join the People's Army, but their parents do not stop them.
