Chapter 1: The Pretty Lady in the Little Mountain Village

Next Chapter

The mountains were covered with thick snow, and the group was like worms wriggling in the snow, slowly approaching Songjia Village.

Soon after a group of people entered Songjia Village, the news of Miss Song's return spread throughout the village.

Miss Song's name is Song Jiawen. She is the only daughter of Song Kangnian, a big family in the village.

Although it is now the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than 20 years, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty that women are not talented and virtuous atmosphere still deeply affects the world, even the daughters of ordinary Zhuang families, since childhood, will be constrained by various rules to death, from a young age bound feet, soft-spoken, meet men to bow their heads to avoid and so on.

Not to mention the big families, the door does not go out of the second door, and it seems that they have suffered a big loss when they are looked at more.

The Song family is the largest landlord in the village, 60% of the land belongs to his family, and most of the families in the village are tenants of his family, which is an out-and-out big household in the eyes of the people of this small village, but Song Jiawen is an out-and-out exception among women in this era.

I don't know if it's because the ancestors of the Song family have done too many bad things, Song Kangnian married at eighteen or nineteen, and his aunt also married several rooms, but he had no heirs, and he didn't have such an only daughter as Song Jiawen until he was almost forty.

How many restrictions on other people's daughters are useless here in Song Jiawen, the rules that girls should abide by such as foot binding have not been observed, and they have been playing crazy in the village since childhood, climbing trees and pounding birds' nests and going down to the river to fish and shrimp, teasing dogs and chickens at the end of the village, and fighting with boys who are about the same age every once in a while.

But the people of the whole village are protecting her.

It's not just that Song Jiawen is Song Kangnian's daughter, but also because she is so good-looking, her body and face look like a fairy daughter, and she is also literate and hyphenated, and she speaks with one mouth and is really comfortable to listen to.

A few years ago, when CPPCC National Committee member Chiang took office, he set up a new school in which both men and women could be enrolled, and this caused an uproar throughout the country -- what kind of system did men and women take classes together? That must not mess with the rules handed down by our ancestors for thousands of years?

Song Jiawen not only ignored these, but even clamored for a new school at a sky-high price, and went on a hunger strike if she didn't agree, claiming that she would starve to death.

Song Kangnian had no choice but to agree and send Song Jiawen to the county to attend a new school.

Song Jiawen left, the village can be regarded as a big scourge, the big yellow dog at the head of the village has been barking in the sky for several days, and it is estimated that this is God's eye-opening.

However, the villagers were not happy, and there was no such a cute and beautiful girl dangling in front of them, and they always felt that something was missing in their hearts.

Now, Song Jiawen is back.

The men who were busy working in the fields threw away their hoes and ran to the Song family, and the women put down their work and rushed to the Song family, first, to see what Miss Song looked like, whether she was more beautiful again, and on the other hand, to see if there were any changes in the people who had stayed in the provincial capital for a year or two and studied in the new school.

Where the provincial capital is, the villagers do not know, only know that it is far, far away, and they have to climb many mountains and walk for many days.

In their eyes, people who have been to the county must be great characters, not to mention that Miss Jiawen came back from the provincial capital!

"Miss Song is back?"

"You've grown taller and more beautiful......

Song Jiawen walked slowly under the escort of the family, wearing a short cardigan and a thick fluffy coat with braids, beautiful as flowers, looking at the village, both men and women, young and old.

However, the big yellow dog at the head of the village ran away with his tail between his throat as soon as he saw Song Jiawen, and after running for a long time, he found that no one was chasing him, grinning and sticking out his tongue for a long time, as if he was surprised that this little lady had changed sex and did not come to find his bad luck.

Song Jiawen has indeed changed a lot, not only dressing up, but also what is even more rare is that her out-of-the-box temperament has changed a lot, Wen Wen quietly finally has a little bit of elegance and reserve, and she is no longer the crazy girl she used to be.

In fact, it's not surprising, although it's only been two years, but now Song Jiawen is also a sixteen or seventeen girl, thanks to her being Song Kangnian's daughter, if it is someone else's daughter, I'm afraid the child can play soy sauce.

In the welcome of the villagers, Song Jiawen walked slowly and greeted the villagers, looking left and right in the crowd with a pair of big eyes, as if she was looking for someone.

"Sister Jiawen......"

"Sister Jiawen, where is my second brother?"

There was a man and a woman in the crowd, two teenagers and a half years old, shouting, although the clothes were worn but very clean, the small face and hair also looked very clean, the eyes were exceptionally bright, and they looked very energetic.

"An An Pingping, you've grown taller again!"

Seeing the two children, Song Jiawen's eyes lit up, and she walked two steps quickly to the two children, took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into the hands of the two, and looked around with big eyes.

When many children saw those candies, they drooled with envy, looked at their parents pitifully, and complained that Miss Song was partial, only giving Yang An and Yang Ping, but not to themselves.

"Thank you, Sister Jiawen - what about our second brother?"

Yang An Yang Ping took the candy and carefully put it in her pocket, but asked with flashing eyes.

The second brother they said was named Yang Kuan, and he was another child in the village who went to a new school in the county town, but for Yang Kuan to go to the foreign school, the villagers degraded him more than praise.

Song Jiawen can go to the new school, that is, the Song family is a big family in the village, and some are the ocean, why is he Yang Kuan? Just rely on his family, Yang Da usually cultivates a few acres of thin fields, and when he has a little free time, he hunts and collects medicine in the mountains, and he is busy all year round?

But don't forget, his family is four brothers and sisters, and they all have to rely on him Yang Da to support, plus the cost of Yang Kuan's new school, so what's the point?

But when Yang Kuan proposed that he also wanted to go to the county seat to attend a new school, Yang Da agreed without hesitation, and let Yang Kuan go, all the tuition and living expenses were all covered by his eldest brother!

"This Yang Da is a big fool!"

"Just wait for him to give up his parents' lives to all the skinny fields that came down!"

When they heard the news, many villagers and tenants gloated and wanted to see Yang Da's jokes, after all, the Yang family is one of the few families in the village who have their own fields, if they lose their fields, they can be like themselves, and if they make a living as tenants for the Song family, everyone will be equal!

Of course, Yang Da is not called Yang Da, his name is Yang Yi, the boss in the ranks, everyone calls him Yang Da, and he even forgot his real name.

The feelings for the Yang family are complicated by the people in the village.

Almost all of the people in Song's village are surnamed Song, but only the Yang family is surnamed Yang, because they are outsiders.

Shortly before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Yang family moved to Songjia Village, purchased some land, and wanted to take root in this village.

At first, the people of Songjia Village still wanted to bully a handful of outsiders, so that they knew that in the territory of the old Song family, you people with foreign surnames had to be people with your tails between your legs!

Unexpectedly, the two members of the Yang family are not good characters, more than a dozen strong guys are all Yang Dad ran around the mountains and didn't dare to go back to the village, a group of village women who were used to farming and were quite energetic, were actually slapped by Yang Ma all over the ground to find teeth, since then, the village people no longer dare to find trouble with the Yang family, and the Yang family can be regarded as taking root in this village.

At first, the life of the Yang family was also prosperous, they had land and land, and both of them were also skilled people, Yang Dad played with knives, guns and sticks, and hunting was an expert.

After taking root in the village, the two gave birth to four children in one go, three boys and one girl, Yang Yi, Yang Kuan, Yang An, Yang Ping, and they have a bit of a posture of wanting to spread out here.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

When giving birth to Yang Ping, Yang's mother died of dystocia, Yang's father was sad and overly sick, and the tower-like man collapsed, and the medicine jar could not be separated from him all year round.

Within a few years, the little family business that he had saved with great difficulty was wiped out, and in the end, the boss Yang Yi was even ready to sell his land to treat Yang's father.

"Lao Tzu can die, but these fields must not be sold!"

Father Yang on the hospital bed said this loudly, and hanged himself that night.

Even now, when it comes to Daddy Yang's matter, anyone in the village or even ten miles and eight towns will give a thumbs up and say yes!

It's just that Father Yang's death left four children, the eldest Yang Yi is fourteen years old, and the youngest Yang Ping is only three years old.

But they survived.

Under the leadership of Yang Yi, several children farmed and hunted to collect medicine, and not only survived, but also seemed to be getting better and better.

"Yang Da, this kid is so tough, he deserves to be the seed of the old Yang family!"

"Yes, I am a child and support three younger siblings, enough for a cow ......"

Not to mention the village, even the villagers in ten miles and eight townships mentioned Yang Yi and the boss of the Yang family in Songjia Village, they had to raise their thumbs and say a word, in those years, the matchmaker who said goodbye to Yang Yi almost had to break the threshold of the Yang family.

At that time, Mr. Yang said that his younger brothers and sisters were still young and would not be considered for the time being.

In a blink of an eye, Yang Dadu is twenty years younger, and his children and sons of the same age can make soy sauce, but he is still alone.

Seeing that the younger brothers and sisters are getting older, the matchmaker came to kiss again, and many women are very satisfied with Yang Da, but at this moment, Yang Kuan proposed to go to the new school, and Yang Da actually agreed!

With two teenage siblings, Yang Kuan has to go to a new school, it is a new school, just the registration fee is ten yuan, and the living expenses are not included.

The villagers dig in the soil all year round, and they may not see a piece of the ocean all year round!

As soon as the news came out, the villagers either said that Yang was stupid, or Yang Kuan was crazy, and he didn't have the life of a rich family but got the disease of a rich and noble family, and he actually wanted to go to a foreign school!

Even the girls who were originally interested in Yang Da turned around and left when they saw Yang Da, and the matchmaker never came to the door, claiming that as long as Yang Kuan went to the new school, she would not find herself to say goodbye to Yang Da, because absolutely no one wanted to marry her daughter.

"No, there is no one, anyway, I don't want to get married so early!"

Yang Da said that his original intention did not change for Yang Kuan to go to the new school and support his younger brothers and sisters, but even so, the villagers still did not believe that Yang Dazhen could give Yang Kuan out, and he had to sell the land and sell the land.

No one knows how Yang Da helped Yang Kuan to raise enough for tuition and living expenses.

In the past two years, Yang Da has not sold his land or land, and Yang Kuan's new school has also been doing well, so that the villagers and tenants are not convinced.
