Chapter 568: Li Min (Asking for Support)

Black, white, shiny, white as ice, a magpie with black and white feathers wagged its tail and kept jumping up and down the tree, burrowing in and out of there, and finally flying to a tree in the field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It's good to see the magpies in the morning!

With a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, Jiang Zijie lay comfortably in the field, looking at the bird in the tree, thinking like this in his heart.

The fields after the autumn harvest were empty, and the sorghum had already been harvested, and when it was time for the winter of another year, the newly harvested sorghum was sold in addition to rations and seeds, and the price was not bad, and after the account was paid, there was still some money left.

"When the time comes to the end of the year, it's time to buy new clothes for the mother-in-law and children......

Jiang Zijie thought so in his heart, but when he thought about it, there were only a few dollars at home, if he bought new clothes, what should he do if there was an emergency at home?

When he thought about it in his heart, he thought a lot, Jiang Zijie sat on the ground, looking at the harvested sorghum field in front of him, he thought of the harvested sorghum, there are only a few acres of land at home, but it is just barely making ends meet, it is still a good year like now, if it is a tight year, if you can not starve to death, it is already God's eyes.

Looking at the land in front of him, for Jiang Zijie, the biggest dream in his life is to be able to let the family eat and marry his son a daughter-in-law in the future, but is it easy?

Didn't he marry his daughter-in-law until he was 33, isn't this the case in poor families, his father didn't marry his mother until he was 36, and then he worked hard for decades and still didn't earn enough money to marry his daughter-in-law, so how many years of money would he have to save by himself?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zijie only felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe, and he kept holding that breath, and his face turned red.

He had imagined that one day he would be able to prosper, that he would have a few tens or even hundreds of acres of land in his family, but it was just a dream, at least here, unless he found a piece of gold in the field that day, or it was all just a dream.

Unless......

Suddenly, Jiang Zijie, who was almost out of breath, did it violently, and he thought of what Mr. Storyteller had said in the town - colony!

Colony!

There are countless fields and opportunities in the colonies, and there are wild people, who can exchange a few tusks for a few glass beads, and there are all kinds of opportunities there, and they are all opportunities to make a fortune.

The tree dies, the man lives!

If he doesn't fly far away and get rich in other places, everything will always be just a dream and will never be realized, and even his son will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law before the age of 30.

Just staring at the field in front of him, Jiang Zijie's eyes revealed a look that he had never had before, he thought of the future, and thought of a future that he had never thought of.

Slowly, a new image was inserted into the scene in front of him, a package with a few clothes, a rumbling train bound for Qingdao -- last year, when the Jiaoji Railway was opened, he had traveled more than ten miles just to catch a glimpse of the railway and the train.

Then came the steamer, and then the sea...... Then, there was a cloud.

"There is a mouth under the nose, and it goes all over the world!"

"A manly man, as long as he works, he will not starve to death!"

What is there to worry about?

Send money to their mothers and mothers, and come back in four or five years, they can always earn a sum of money, their bodies are so strong, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts......

All kinds of thoughts were pondering in Jiang Zijie's heart, and when he was looking forward to the vision of making a fortune, his expression became melancholy, and his eyes, which had never had a trace of brilliance, became dull and dull after flashing his vision for the future.

The thin face, expressionless, he stood there, looking into the distance, standing motionless, like a rough pillar, he was of medium stature, with a strong physique, and he was full of strength just by looking at his size, and he was muscular because he worked in the fields all year round, which was typical of the body type of a healthy peasant.

"People saw Wang Dashan coming back in a gorgeous carriage, holding an ivory cane in his hand, of course, it was not because of the wounds he left when he tore apart with the indigenous barbarians in Africa, but like a gentleman in the West, it was just an ornament in his hand, and the cane was inlaid with a few diamonds worth thousands of gold, who would have thought that the second-rate son of Wang back then would now become a rich man......"

Jiang Zijie's mind came to the things he had heard from Mr. Storyteller, imagining that he was like Mr. Storyteller's mouth Wang Dashan, and there would be a day when he would return to his hometown, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and then he thought of a lot, his eyes stared ahead, staring in the direction of the village, in the dilapidated village, the days of coarse tea and light food, hunger and fullness, appeared in front of his eyes again......

Knock off the cigarette ash in the cigarette pouch, and then Jiang Zijie stepped on the sill of the field and walked in the direction of the village, his speed was not fast, it could even be said to be a little slow, he just walked like this, and kept walking in the direction of home.

When he returned home, he saw the adobe house from afar, which his father had built, and although the walls were covered with a new layer of mud, the house was already old, and if he had money, he should have built a new house, but was he rich?

If you don't leave here, you'll never want to get rich!

Jiang Zijie silently said to himself in his heart, now he has made a decision, when he looked at the old and young masters of the village basking in the sun, he silently thought in his heart, if you want to stay here, stay here, I want to leave, leave this place, I want to go to the colony, no matter what kind of colony he is, I want to go there, only by going there can I not be poor here for a lifetime like my ancestors!

The men here used to be like him, they always only knew how to work hard, many of them had never even walked dozens of miles here, and the farthest place they went to was the county seat, and because of this, they were so poor, as long as they had a bowl of porridge in the morning and a nest in the evening, they would have no other thoughts, and they would be satisfied!

But! He, Jiang Zijie, wants to prove that he is different from others, and he Jiang Zijie wants his daughter-in-law and son to live a good life!

Finally, he walked into the dilapidated little courtyard, looked at the daughter-in-law who was holding the soles of her shoes in the yard, and looked at the son who was wearing a tiger head hat and had not yet learned to walk, his mood became sad, did he really want to leave?

"Dad, he's back......"

Looking at the man who came back, the woman's voice seemed very gentle, which was very inconsistent with the pockmarked face.

"Hmm,"

Walking into the courtyard silently, Jiang Zijie glanced at his daughter-in-law, but did not speak.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? ā€

"Nothing,"

"Look at your face!"

Anyone could tell that his face was wrong. But he did not speak, but went to the door and sat on the threshold, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

"What's wrong with you? Hurry up, huh? Isn't it uncomfortable? ā€

The woman was a little worried, and in the face of the woman's problem, Jiang Zijie turned around, and then said word by word.

"I've figured it out, I'm going to the colony!"

"You!"

The woman looked at the man in amazement, she was not a woman who knew nothing, she knew what a colony was, and even the women had said it more than once in their jokes.

"Send your man to the colony!"

Those who went in the past were all second-rate people in the village!

Now the men of their own family are going to the colonies! Is he crazy?

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!"

Facing the woman's words, Jiang Zijie smoked his cigarette pouch and said silently.

"I thought about it, if you want you two to live a good life, you have to go out, if you don't go out, don't think about living a good life in this life......"

Without waiting for the man to finish, the woman shook her head and said.

"You're crazy, let's not go there, wait for the tree to grow up, study hard, and become a big official in the future, and if we become a big official, we will have a good life......"

Reading is also an opportunity for them to change their fate, but Jiang Zijie ruthlessly shattered a woman's dream.

"Reading, our family has never been a student for several generations, even if Shu'er can be admitted to middle school, what will we give him to study? I don't have any money, at most, I can study for three years, read and write, and then go to school......"

What Jiang Zijie said is the truth, the current forced education is only three years, and I don't know how many children from poor families are forced to leave school because they have no money to continue studying.

"That's why I'm going to the colony, and only when I get there, can I earn money, and earn money to buy land for the trees to study, and if he stays here, he will have to be like me for the rest of his life, digging and eating in the fields, and he won't have enough to eat for the rest of his life......"

Jiang Zijie said while smoking silently, he seemed to think of his father's hard work in the land to eat and eat all his life, and also thought of himself, thinking of his life, if he didn't leave here, I am afraid he could only work hard like his father, but he didn't get the slightest in his life, and even Shu'er, he couldn't raise him like other people, thinking that Shu'er might be like himself, and he would not be able to get married until he was in his thirties, and then his whole life would be like himself, and he would have it all his life, can't let the family live a good life, and then the future generations are the same as him, the generations have been poor here, at that time, will he be as hesitant as he is now, rather than waiting for the future generations to blame himself, it is better to fight for it now!

Thinking of this, Jiang Zijie took a sharp breath, and after making a decision, he spat out his cigarette and continued.

"So, I'm going there, I'm going there! If he doesn't go there, his son will definitely blame him for being useless in the future, and his grandson will definitely blame his grandfather in the future! ā€

The man's words made the woman cry, and the woman's cry attracted the attention of the neighbor, and the neighbor's aunt poked her head to look at the woman, saw the crying woman, and then immediately said to Jiang Zijie.

"I said eldest nephew, what's wrong with you, why did you quarrel with your daughter-in-law again, come and talk to your aunt, why did he bully you again......"

The words of the eldest lady made the woman find an outlet for catharsis, and the woman's crying became louder, while the man was there silently smoking a cigarette, and did not pay attention to the woman, he knew that the woman was reluctant to himself, but did he have any other choice? No, for him, either he will work hard in this life, or he will accept his fate and stay here for the rest of his life, since he is lucky not to starve to death, and he will only barely make ends meet for the rest of his life, and now if he wants to live a good life, then what other options does he have? Don't have any other options?

"Girl, if there is anything you can't think of, talk to the eldest mother, if it is your reason, the eldest mother will clean him up for his mother!"

When the neighbor's aunt said this, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Zijie, as if telling him that he should persuade his daughter-in-law, it is not easy for this poor family to marry a daughter-in-law.

But Jiang Zijie didn't seem to see it, just sat there, his face looked extremely ugly, not so much ugly, but struggle, who doesn't want his wife and children to live a good life, but for him, how can he have other choices, he wants to live a good life, but he wants to live a good life, like the rich people in the village, he wants to set up a family affair for his son early, want to be like them, don't worry about eating and drinking all his life, want to be like them, let his son and mother-in-law live a good life, I want my mother-in-law to wear new clothes every year, and it is impossible to rely on these acres of land!

"Auntie......"

In the comfort of the eldest mother, the woman said with tears in her eyes.

"He, he's going to the colonies, to ...... Colony, you have to go there to earn money......"

As she said this, the woman glanced at the man deliberately and continued to cry.

"He, he is so ruthless, he left our mother here, he went to the colony, that place is a place where people go, there are wild men, and lions or something, if he has three long and two short there, how can we live!"

As she spoke, she said to the man again.

"I know that you are not willing to live a hard life, and you want to go to the colony for the sake of our mother, but I would rather live a hard life here with you than die in that place, big deal, big deal, let's go to Kanto, go there, it's better to go to the colony......"

Breaking into Kanto is also a choice, I don't know how many people have gone to Kanto in Shandong for many years, and now the same is true, the woman's words made the man stunned, he smoked silently, and said after a while.

"You are a woman, you know something, it is easy to break into the eastern part of the country, but whoever gives you the land, when you get there, you are just a tenant of the government, if you want to get rich, you still have to go to the colony!"
