In Chenjiagou Village, a market town in Qixia County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, there is such a family, the head of the household is named Chen Shou, who is 29 years old this year, and although he only got married at the age of 23, he is already the father of three children.

Chen Shou is the end of the family, there are two brothers and two sisters above, Chen Shou's father is just an ordinary farmer, the family only has five acres of land, the Manchu Dynasty taxes are so heavy, five acres of land is not enough for a family to eat, so Chen Shou's father in addition to cultivating his own land, but also to rent the landlord's land, so that the family can barely eat, but the family's luck is also very good, one of the five children did not die.

As the five children grew up, they also reached the age of marrying wives and having children, but the Chen family was so poor that no girl was willing to marry into the Chen family.

In the end, the marriage problem of the eldest and second eldest of the Chen family was solved, and the Chen family and other poor families used the method of exchange to let the children of their respective families successfully solve the marriage problem, simply put, the two poor families have sons and daughters, and then the two families exchange with each other, the daughter of one family marries the son of the other family, and the daughter of the other family marries the son of this family, so that everyone solves the marriage problem, which is the inheritance of the poor family.

After the eldest and second of the Chen family got married, the five acres of land owned by the Chen family were divided into three parts, the eldest and the second were each given two acres, and the remaining one was reserved for Xiaomo Chen Shou.

Chen Shou is also a tragedy, the Chen family no other daughters can be exchanged with other families, Chen Shou's marriage is far away, and finally at the age of twenty-three he married a woman with an ugly face and a thin body, this woman does not even have a name, her relatives call her a ugly.

For a peasant, it doesn't matter if his woman is ugly, the important thing is whether her physical fitness is good, and women also need to work, and rural women who are thin and can't do heavy work are not good women

Although Ah Chou has an ugly face and a thin body, there are many people who can't marry a wife in this era, and for Ah Chou, Chen Shou paid the acre of land in his hands, so Chen Shou can only make a living by renting the land of the landlord's family.

If he dares to say a word of opposition, then Chen Shou will have no land to rent, and in the end he and his wife can only starve to death.

There is a lack of entertainment life in the countryside, and at night there is not even a candle or an oil lamp, only the activity of making dolls is left, in less than four years, Chen Shou has three more children, and every time he gives birth to a child, Ugly's body is a little weaker, Chen Shou is afraid of losing Ugly, and he no longer dares to make dolls with Ugly.

In order to feed the children, Chen Shou worked hard, Chen Shou, who was originally only in his twenties, looked like a person who was almost forty years old.

At Chen Shou's insistence, the family of five finally persevered until the fall of the Manchu Dynasty and the Chinese Empire took its place.

Not long after, Chen Shou had his own land again, and the government officials of the village market town came to Chenjiagou Village and asked Chenjiagou Village to set up an autonomous villagers' committee, and then the government officials of the village market town and the members of the Chenjiagou Village Autonomous Villagers' Committee distributed land to the people of Chenjiagou Village who had no land or little land.

Although the land in the hands of the landlords was confiscated, the population in this area was large, and the amount of cultivated land per capita was only a little more than one acre, and finally Chen Shou's family allocated a total of three acres and five points of cultivated land, one mu for each of the two adults, and five points for each of the three children.

Three acres and five points of arable land is very small for Chen Shou's family of five, even if they are planted with high-yield crop seeds, the harvest in the field is only for the family of five to have enough to eat, and maybe there is a little money to spare, which is probably not enough to buy a new set of clothes for the family.

However, in mid-February of the new year, an unexpected news reached Chenjiagou Village and reached Chen Shou's ears: the government is going to carry out a large-scale resettlement, as long as the immigrants go to the north, adults can get ten acres of arable land, and children can also get five acres of arable land.

When he first heard the news, Chen Shou didn't react much, and Chen Shou was reluctant to leave this place where he was born and raised, not to mention that his other relatives lived here, if he went to a place where he was unfamiliar, once there was any accident, no one could help him.

Not long after, government officials from the village town came to Chenjiagou Village, convened all the people of Chenjiagou Village, and held a propaganda meeting to publicize the Great Migration to the Chenjiagou people.

Hearing the words of the government official, Chen Shou's heart was a little touched.

Chen Shou is only twenty-nine years old this year, which is a relatively young age, and now Chen Shou only has three acres and five points of land in his hands, which can only meet the living needs of the family, and it is impossible to make the family's life better.

According to the policy of great immigration, if Chen Shou's family immigrated to the Northeast, they would be able to obtain 35 acres of land.

Although the climate in Northeast China is colder than that in Shandong, and crops can only be harvested once a year, 35 acres of black soil in Northeast China is much stronger than 3 acres and 5 points of land in Shandong that crops three crops in two years.

As government officials told more things to everyone, Chen Shou became more and more inclined to the side of immigrants: "If I stay in Chenjiagou Village, I am afraid that I will be like this for the rest of my life, I can't go on like this, I am still young, I want to fight for the future and for my children." ”

Chen Shou pulled his wife Ah Chou beside him, Ah Chou looked back at Chen Shou suspiciously, but heard Chen Shou whisper to himself: "Ah Chou, is it okay for us to immigrate to the Northeast?" ”

Ah Chou didn't know how Chen Shou could have such thoughts, but Chen Shou was the head of the family, and as his woman, he should support him, so Ah Chou whispered back: "Child, his father, you are in charge, I listen to you, you will go if you say go." ”

When Chen Shou asked Ah Chou, he could already guess what kind of words Ah Chou would say, the two have been married for many years, and they have a deeper understanding, the reason why Chen Shou asked Ah Chou is to make up his mind the last decision, and now Chen Shou's heart has made a decision to immigrate to the Northeast with his family.

After the propaganda meeting, Chen Shou, who was very nervous, came to the officials of the village market town government and said to him: "I... A... Want... Application... Immigrant. ”

When the young government official Hao Zhigang heard Chen Shou's stumbling words, he was not disgusted, but smiled, he knew that this was the normal expression of ordinary people facing government officials, wasn't he like this at the beginning?

"Don't be nervous, fellow, are you the head of your family? Does your family agree to immigration? Hao Zhigang replied with a smile.
