From Zhao Mingchuan's mouth, Xiao Mubai knew that Zhao Mingchuan's parents were still alive, and there were two younger brothers at home, 18-year-old Zhao Mingyang and 15-year-old Zhao Mingcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

What does the future hold? In this era, China has produced many heroes and famous people, and these people are now growing up and struggling in this land. If you want to step onto the big stage of China, what reason should you use? With what thoughts? What is the system? This is a big era, but I am just a small person, can I really do it well?

Xiao Mubai, who had a headache, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought of this. Simply, if he doesn't understand, he won't think about it, take a step by step, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

At this moment, Zhao Mingchuan came over and beckoned a few people to breakfast. In fact, in the past, Zhao Mingchuan's family did not have breakfast to eat, this was to entertain Xiao Mubai. At this time, the common people are very simple, as long as there are guests at home, they will definitely come up with the best things to entertain. And the so-called best thing in Zhao Mingchuan's house is nothing more than a bowl of wild vegetable soup mixed with a few rice grains.

It was only at this time that Xiao Mubai understood how poor the Chinese peasants were in this era. Seeing Xiao Mubai having breakfast slowly, full of thoughts, Zhao Mingchuan thought that he was disgusted with his poor hospitality, so he walked to Xiao Mubai's side and said uneasily: "I'm sorry, there is only this at home, you can bear with me." ”

After saying that, he blushed embarrassedly. Xiao Mubai realized that Zhao Mingchuan had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "Brother Zhao, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to dislike it, the younger brother is very grateful to Brother Zhao for his hospitality." ”

Seeing that Zhao Mingchuan was still full of doubts, Xiao Mubai said that he wanted to settle down in the village. Zhao Mingchuan understood Xiao Mubai's words, and he was very puzzled in his heart, from the conversation, he had learned that Xiao Mubai was a person who returned from studying abroad, and he was a high-achieving student in the real sense. But when he saw that Xiao Mubai was talking extraordinary, he had already had the intention of making friends. And Xiao Mubai doesn't look like a bad person, otherwise people want to be unfavorable to him, with the foreign gun in his hand, he would have done it a long time ago.

Although he was puzzled, he immediately responded: "This is easier, as long as the old village chief agrees." ”

Zhao Mingchuan's father's name is Zhao Liangtang, he is an honest farmer, he gets up early and is greedy and diligent to maintain the family business, and sends his eldest son to study, hoping to glorify his ancestors and win a fame. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, the imperial court canceled the imperial examination, and the son had to go to the new-style school to study, but the tuition of the new-style school was expensive, and he had to go home after only one year. When I heard that the guests who came back from the West wanted to stay in the village, I immediately thought that the person who came back from studying in the Western country was a person who really had great ability, and if his son could follow him, he would be able to grow his ability. So at that moment, Zhao Mingchuan led Xiao Mubai and a few people to the village chief's house.

The head of Zhaojia Village is called Zhao Maocai, an old man with a kind face, said to be an old man, in fact, he is in his early sixties, in this era, people are very old, there is really no difference between those in their sixties and their seventies. After understanding the intentions of Xiao Mubai and the others, and seeing the short heads of several people, the old village chief obviously had some doubts in his heart. In these years, the short-haired ones are not only chaotic parties but also chaotic parties, and if they are really chaotic parties, they don't dare to take them in.

After a pause, he said: "Look at how many of your dolls don't look like some kind of villains, it's not impossible for you to want to stay in the village, it's just your hair?" ”

Xiao Mubai understood that the old village chief was suspicious, so he quickly explained: "Old village chief, I waited for a few people to live abroad for many years, and they followed the customs of the country, so they cut their braids, and now that they have returned to China, they will definitely re-comb their hair and keep their braids." ”

"There is a wasteland at the foot of the mountain in the east of the village, so you can build a house there." The old village chief nodded, and after speaking, he ignored Xiao Mubai and the others, and turned to leave.

Cyborg is good, to be fast, to be efficient. In the next few days, with the help of Zhao Mingchuan, Xiao Mubai took Chen Chuan, Wen Xu and several biochemical people to quickly build a few simple houses in the east of the village. In this way, Xiao Mubai finally has a foothold in this strange time and space. What's interesting is that through the contact in the past few days, after seeing the skills and abilities of Chen Chuan's several people, Chang Er and a few mountain bandits never mentioned the matter of returning to the mountain anymore, and they always like to stick to Chen Chuan, Wen Xu and other four people when they have nothing to do.

Coincidentally, it is Zhao Gouzi, Zhao Mingyang and Zhao Mingcheng brothers who like to stick to Xiao Mubai. Because Brother Xiao can always bring them something delicious, like a kind called chocolate, bitter and sweet. And Brother Xiao can also teach himself to read and write, and can tell a lot of big truths, although some of them don't understand, but they must all make sense. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old children are just when they have a strong desire for knowledge, and under the instruction of Xiao Mubai, biochemical scientist Qu Junren began to play the role of a teacher, and Zhao Mingchuan and Xiao Mubai have become friends who have nothing to say through their interactions these days.

On this day, when he returned to his humble home, after eating a simple meal, he washed up briefly, and Xiao Mubai lay on the bed. In this strange era, he already has a place to stand, money, technology, and territory, although it is still a very small territory, and now there is only a shortage of people, thinking about it, Xiao Mubai fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Chang Er came to Xiao Mubai very abnormally early, and he didn't speak for a long time, until Xiao Mubai got angry, Chang Er said: "Brother Xiao, I and Er Niu want to follow you for a life in the future, you have stayed in the ocean, you are highly educated, and at first glance you are a person with great ability, we are countrymen, others don't, some are strong." ”

Chang Er lowered his head after finishing his words with great difficulty, and he couldn't hear Xiao Mubai's voice. At this time, Xiao Mubai's heart was already happy, and he was still thinking about people's problems last night, which was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow. No, the human problem was solved immediately. Chang Er raised his head just in time to see Xiao Mubai staring at him with a smile, and said hurriedly: "If it doesn't work, Brother Xiao, you can give me a good word!" Hearing Chang Er's urgent roar, Xiao Mubai woke up and said with a smile: "Cheng"

Chang Er said happily: "Then thank you Brother Xiao, I'll go and talk to Erniu." ”

The days passed like this, and Chang Er and a few people began to follow Chen Chuan for simple military training every day. Running and exercising every day, although there is no military training, but basic training, with a good foundation, the military armed forces that will be formed in the future will not be much worse.

Qu Junren also dutifully played the role of his teacher, and unlike a few days ago, there were more than a dozen half-grown children in the village behind him. In this regard, Xiao Mubai didn't care, and even asked for something. And Xiao Mubai himself, accompanied by Wen Xu and Ding Qiang, accompanied by Zhao Mingchuan, wandered around the village every day.

After a few days, Xiao Mubai's heart finally had an intuitive and general understanding of the life of the Chinese rural people in this era, China's peasant life is indeed bitter, not to mention three meals a day, it is difficult to guarantee two meals a day, and the meals are thin. In this way, the government still has to collect taxes, and the landlord still has to collect rent, if you want to say that Zhaojia Village is the boundary, it is still the largest landlord in the local area, and the old man Guo is open-minded and benevolent, and the rent collected is not high, otherwise Zhulin Town does not know how many people will be ruined.

It was only at this time that Xiao Mubai realized what his top priority was now, that is, he should first solve the problem of food and clothing in the village, so that every person in the village could fill their stomachs and eat well.
