It rained for three days, and finally it cleared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Jin walked out of the bedroom and took a big breath of the air in the small courtyard, in the early spring morning in Guangdong, the weather was warm and pleasant, even if he was wearing a coarse linen shirt, he would not feel cold. The fresh air, which is completely different from the thick fog, invigorates the whole person's spirits.

The wooden basin in the hand is the rain that has been received overnight, the room is leaking rain very seriously, and the rain has occupied eighty percent of the position of the wooden basin overnight. I live in the best room in the house, and I want to come to my mother's room, the leakage is even worse, it seems that the house is when it must be repaired, but I have ...... But they can't get the money.

This kind of work can be done by most men in the village, but Fan Jin is an exception. Although it is not impossible to distinguish wheat, it is also an indisputable fact that since the death of my father, I can only ask villagers for help in this kind of work. Now is the time for spring ploughing, there are no idlers in the village except for themselves, and it is not an easy task to ask the central people to help in vain.

Thinking about who in the village would help him repair the house, he didn't ask for much, and his pace did not stop. Walk through the narrow courtyard, carefully avoiding the mud on the ground, and do your best not to get a little mud on your clothes. The courtyard is on high ground, so it does not store water, but when the yellow earth is watered by the rain, it is full of mud, and if you are not careful, you will stain your long shirt.

Carrying the hem of the caftan struggling through the mud, the small room diagonally across the courtyard is the place to wash. Pick up the garcinia yellow gourd scoop, draw some water from the surface of the water close to the bottom of the tank, and start the cleaning work. Crude bristle toothbrushes and herb dust are always unaccustomed, but in any case, they are much better than willow branches and green salt.

Or electric toothbrushes and toothpaste are better to use, just like the cement floor is better than the loess surface, and the flushing toilet is better than the dry toilet, but it's a pity...... There's no going back.

Fan Jin groped for his face, this face was more handsome than the other self, and in this era, it could be regarded as a handsome case. But he still doesn't like it here, and if he has a choice, he just wants to go back to the time and space where he once lived and live his own life.

He does not belong to this era, just as this era does not belong to him. Since two years ago, the person who lives in this young body is no longer Fan Jin, a native of the Ming Dynasty, but a soul from the second generation of the 22nd century.

The parties themselves can't figure out how they woke up and became the famous Fan Cuoda in the history of Confucianism who went crazy after the middle lift. Is it because he was a civil and military veteran before he became a demolition second, and he was good at performing Fan Jinzhongju's play? This argument does not seem to be valid.

Of course, entangled in the reasons for crossing over does not make any sense to solve his predicament, after experiencing the confusion and unwillingness in the early stage of crossing, he has accepted the reality after recognizing the reality. In this life, he is Fan Jin, the Fan Jin in the history of Confucianism, he is in a time and space that is both familiar and unfamiliar, different from the Ming Dynasty in history, this is the time and space that belongs to the history of Confucianism.

Since the courtyard is full of mud, the daily morning exercise can only be canceled, in this small room, do a few stretching movements, and then do some push-ups to complete the task. Due to his insistence on exercising, Fan Jin's body is not as weak as that of ordinary scholars, and the muscles on his body are full of beauty between movements, which of course benefits from the scientific exercise in the past two years and the mature fitness methods of later generations.

Fan Jin himself was also very happy, fortunately he crossed Fan Jin in the history of Confucianism, not outside the causeway, the water Tan people, or beggars, border soldiers, artisans, ...... craftsmen. Fortunately, Fan Jin, who he crossed, was only sixteen years old, far from the fifty-four-year-old old when he appeared in the history of Confucianism. If you really dress like that old and poor, life will really be meaningless. But thinking about the breakfast later, Fan Jin was a little depressed, if this kind of hard life had to live thirty-eight years to develop, it was better to die now.

"Come in, it's time to eat." A woman's greeting pulled Fan Jin's thoughts back to reality, that is the mother of this life, the woman who loves herself the most in the world. He believes that in his life, no matter how many women he meets, the best for him will always be his mother. Even if her family is surrounded by walls and poor, she will give everything for herself without regrets, and she will not let the burden of life fall on her shoulders before she falls.

A few nests, a pot of corn and sweet potato porridge, a small jar of sauce made of stinky shrimp and a boiled egg made up all the breakfast of Fan Jin's mother and son.

In the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Wanli, the wind of extravagance has risen, and the rich merchants in the southeast spend hundreds of gold on a meal. The atmosphere of liking comparison and re-hedonizing has gradually prevailed in the land of Daming.

After the development of Jialong's two generations of Daming, it is showing a rich scene of flowers and brocade cooking oil, but the warm sunshine cannot illuminate every corner of Daming, and the Fan family is unfortunate that it is one of the people living in the shadows. This prosperous era has nothing to do with them.

It's spring planting season, and the land in this village, called Xiaofanzhuang, is not fertile, the arable land is extremely limited, and the grain produced is naturally small. Typhoons, floods, and the impact of various disasters due to their proximity to the sea will bring to the villages that in order to fight hunger and disease, both men and women, they have to fight for their lives with heaven and earth, and work hard in exchange for the food necessary for survival.

For the villagers, every minute of spring is precious, and even the children who are not yet young have to work in the fields to help their parents. For the Ming countryside in the second year of Wanli, manpower is still the most precious resource, and there is no one.

Because of the heavy physical labor, breakfast had to be full. According to the rules of the village, the strong laborers in the family give priority to eating dry food, and the secondary laborers can only drink porridge. But the situation of the Fan family is a little different, the eggs and nests are all placed in front of Fan Jin, the only full-time scholar in the village, and Fan's mother, the only laborer in the family, is only willing to drink some sweet potato porridge.

The mother, who was not yet forty years old, had calluses on her hands, sideburns on her head, a lot of gray hair, a slight hunched waist, and a homespun jacket and skirt full of patches. It all stems from poverty, and poverty is the worst enemy of Fan Jin or the whole village.

The mother picked up the bowl, but refused to eat, but supervised Fan Jin's meal. Watching him gobble up what he was holding, a smile bloomed on his mother's face, and even the thin porridge was very delicious.

This rough food!

Nowadays, corn is also known as sweet wheat because of its high yield, and like sweet potatoes, which are called sweet potatoes, some farmers are willing to try to grow them in the countryside of Guangzhou, a coastal city. The Fan family does not have strong labor, so they have to find a way to eat food, so Fan's mother is the first part of the village to grow wheat and sweet potatoes. It is not surprising that these miscellaneous grains have come to the dining table of poor families like the Fan family.

"Although the Yangzhou dream is good, it is always necessary to wake up." Whenever Fan Jin picked up his rice bowl, he couldn't help but think of the life he had lived without worrying about eating and drinking. In that life, although he was not a successful person, he could still get a decent salary in the Peking Opera Troupe, and after his ancestral house was demolished and his family's land was expropriated, he became rich with compensation and lived a life that was enough to be called luxurious.

You can't talk about spending a lot of money, but with an amazing amount of compensation, plus you don't have bad habits, you can always eat and drink well. He had eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he would not have taken a second look at this kind of coarse grain in that life. But I didn't expect that now not only can I not eat meat, but even if I want to feed my mother and son, it is so difficult.

Fan Jin, who was once drunk and drunk, was destined to not go back, and Fan Jin, who had already been at peace with his encounters, no longer wanted to change his life against the sky, or return to the modern society that he was haunted by his dreams. Since he has become the Fan Jin in the Confucian world, he can only accept his fate. The next thing to consider is how to live comfortably, even if the material enjoyment cannot be compared with the previous life, in this life, you must become a rich man who eats and drinks without worrying about it.

Fan Jin's current family background, even from the perspective of the Ming people, can only be described as poor. With the early death of their father and the absence of other children in the family, peasant families who lack labor are doomed to poverty.

Although Fan's mother is a hard-working and housekeeper woman, and is willing to give all her love to her son, she has not conjured up the magic lamp of wealth after all, and she cannot give Fan Jin everything he wants. Even if it is a small egg, for the Fan family, it is a luxury creature that can only be eaten by gritting its teeth.

Although Fan Jin is a human being in two lives, most of the life skills of his previous life cannot be converted into economic income in this life, and it is not easy to rely on the so-called memories of his past life to change his life.

Guangzhou has the advantage of being close to the sea, and the village has also joined forces to select people to chase the sea and fight for wealth. At the beginning, he also made some money, but when he was shipwrecked, even the ship and its goods were folded into the sea. not only made Xiao Fan Zhuang lose all his money, but also took on a heavy debt, and from then on, Fan's mother did not allow her son to think about the sea again.

Another popular project in Guangdong is steel, according to the current records: Foshan has many smelting industries, and the smelters will wait for their work and ask for it, which is extremely respected. And Foshan happens to be under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County.

If it is some traversers, they may become happy because of this, do everything possible to get close to this industry, and then use it as a foundation to do something about it. But Fan Jin, whether in his previous life or in this life, has no interest in the endless blacksmith furnace day and night, as well as sweating like rain and exchanging strength for money, let alone participating in this kind of thing, because this road will not work.

The stage in the countryside is so big, it is really difficult to make a name for himself in this environment, Fan Jin proposed to leave his hometown several times, but his mother ruthlessly vetoed it, and he was helpless.

Since he had already argued a few times, Fan Jin knew in his heart that no matter what, his mother would not eat the wheat nest or the eggs. The result of not eating is to waste the precious food, and can only eat the eggs and nests in the stomach under the eyes of the mother, and take advantage of the mother's happiness to say:

"Mother, eating too many sweet potatoes will cause flatulence, so it's better to eat less. In fact, the child's body is already very good, he can go to the field, I should eat more and do more, you let the child go to the field......"

The smile on his mother's face froze, the porridge bowl was placed on the table, and the circles under his eyes gradually reddened, Fan Jin's heart sank, knowing that something was wrong. Since discovering that the bamboo strip attack was difficult to break Fan Jin's defense, Fan Mu developed a new trick: tears. The power of this weapon is far greater than that of Bamboo Contempt, and it is invincible.

"Say what you say, say it again."

"Mother......

"Do you want to be angry with your mother? Since your father went, your mother pulled you to grow up, and you know the hard work you paid best, since you can remember, did your mother let you go down to the field for a day, do a day of farming? Now you want to do farm work in the field? Stretch out your hand and see for yourself, do you have a little callouse in your hands? My mother said that my son's hand should only hold a pen, not a plow. Remember to your mother, as long as your hands are stained with mud, you are unfilial! After eating, I will go to social school to study and learn words, as long as my mother has a breath, I will not let you get a little mud on my body, if you dare to go to the field to do things, my mother will die to show you! ”

"Mother, the child just wants to share some things for you, and the current situation of our family ...... If we don't pay the tax this year, we will have to sell the land. You can't just count on you. ”

Seeing that his mother was about to launch a tear offensive again, Fan Jin had no choice but to put down his job and review his mistakes with his mother. As long as I am willing to study, my mother will be happy. But as soon as I mentioned that I wanted to help my mother share the pressure, it would become what it is now.

In the Ming Dynasty, reading was the most convenient way to change one's own destiny, but before it was developed, it was necessary to pay enough in order to be rewarded.

After the death of Fan's father, the life of the Fan family has gradually declined, and from last winter to now, Guangzhou has suffered several natural disasters, both typhoons and torrential rains, which have greatly reduced the harvest in the fields. The government's taxes will not be reduced because of these natural disasters, and Fan Jin has no fame and does not enjoy preferential exemptions. Even if the rations are not considered, the Fan family has to borrow money to pay for the official tax and local apportionment alone.

The Fan family obviously lacked the ability to repay, and if they wanted to repay the loan, they would most likely have to sell their land in the end. In the original history of Confucianism, Fan was fifty-four years old when he entered and exited the field, and his family was so depressed. Most of them are because they have failed to do so and do not enjoy preferential treatment, and they have fallen from homesteaders to tenant farmers, and their livelihoods have become worse and worse.

Anyway, he is a young man after all, and in the two years after the crossing, the physical exercise is not bad, Fan Jin thinks that if he can go to the field, maybe he can harvest more food in the autumn, and there is still hope to pass this level.

The mother was unmoved, and the tears still came as promised. "You don't need to return to your family's livelihood, I'll ask you, do you remember what your mother said?"

"I don't dare to forget it."

"Well, what is the honor of all the industries in the world?"

"Everything is inferior, but reading is high."

"Who did my mother want you to do in elementary school?"

"The former Xue Lun Gang is round, and the latter is a sea pen holder."

Fan's mother's tears, finally in time to withdraw the troops, "Since you remember these, what do you want to mention the bastard words of working in the fields, the family background of the big boss back then was not as good as ours, that is, by studying hard, the father and son are all Jinshi and the first, long live the grandfather's royal pen handbook: the first in the Central Plains, and the plaque is still standing in Liyong Village." Your father is hardworking, gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and in the end he only ends up exhausted, which shows that there is no way out of farming. If we want to live a human life, we can only read books. As long as you can earn the identity of your mother and earn the golden cup and jade cup, your mother will be willing to die a bitter death. Jin Zai, you have to remember that you are the only scholar supported by our Xiaofan Zhuang Village. Da Fan Zhuang has always looked at you unpleasantly, and has done everything possible to make you unsuccessful. If you dare to touch the hoe, you will give Dafan Zhuang a truth, and then you will not want to study again. If you want to help your mother, just study hard, as long as you are selected in this subject, and next year you will be promoted, our family will become better, and we will no longer worry about food, debt, and no one will be able to take away our land. If you want to help your mother, just go to school and don't worry about anything else! ”
