A month passed, and everything was calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wu Fanhui was a southerner before the crossing, but came to the north after the crossing, life needs to adapt, the climate also needs to adapt, the blue sky and white clouds and fresh and pleasant air are indeed difficult to experience after hundreds of years, and it has great benefits for the body, but the wind and sand of the Loess Plateau also make Wu Fanhui suffer, when the wind comes, if you are outdoors, the nose and ears must be filled with yellow sand, and the hair roots will be surrounded by sand, and it will take a long time to clean up.

Even more unbearable is the lack of water.

There has been nine droughts in Mizhi County in ten years, and even after a few hundred years, the problem of water shortage has not been completely solved.

Farmers rely entirely on wells for water, and it only rains in the summer, and the rainwater that falls from the sky is collected into the wells and preserved, and they depend on this water for most of the spring, autumn and winter.

Washing your hair and bathing every day is a luxury, it is good to be able to wash once a month, the bath water is pitiful, not so much a bath, but rather a wipe, and the used bath water can not be poured out, save it to wash and scrub it can also be used.

The croppers are not so particular, and they don't care if black dirt appears on their faces.

Discomfort in life is a small thing, and an even worse situation is coming.

It's the end of July, and the rain is so little that even the drought-tolerant millet can't withstand it, and the millet in the fields is about to be harvested, which means that this year is another year of great disaster, and I don't know how many farmers will not be able to eat.

The government still has to pay taxes, regardless of whether there is a harvest in the fields or not.

The winter wheat in the first half of the year was almost out of harvest, and the millet in the second half of the year was facing a desperate harvest again.

Wu Fanhui is very clear, most of Shaanxi, will be in the second year of Chongzhen there will be a tragic famine, the history books record, Chongzhen two years of Shaanxi Yan'an Prefecture, the grass and trees are scorched, the people compete to pick the mountain grass for food, the grass is exhausted, then peel off the bark and eat, the bark is stripped away, then dig the mountain stone (Guanyin soil) and eat, the stone is cold and fishy, less food is full, not a few days because the stone is not digested, abdominal distension and fall to death.

What is even more outrageous is that the hungry people who are struggling on the line of death, in order to survive to the point of madness, they kill people and eat human flesh, and after eating human flesh, their whole body is swollen and their eyes are red within a few days, and finally they die of bleeding from their ears, nose, eyes and mouth because of their hot bodies.

A large number of peasant households and ordinary people died in this famine, and more desperate peasant households and ordinary people joined the ranks of the rebellion and became soldiers called rogue by the imperial court, and the peasant uprising began to break out at this moment.

Wu Fanhui knew what was about to happen, but he was powerless to change it, he was more concerned about the situation in front of him, that is, at home.

After a month of careful observation, Wu Fanhui found that the conditions at home are actually good, every two to three days, he can eat millet porridge, and about ten days can eat rice noodles and steamed buns.

From these observations, Wu Fanhui firmly believes that his family can survive the ******.

Occasionally, Wu Fanhui will think of Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai and others, it seems that Wu Guigui and others are still trustworthy, there is no trace of them in a month, the village has also settled down, and no one continues to encounter kidnapping.

For his father Wu Qingchao, Wu Fanhui has a deeper feeling, his father is taciturn, he doesn't like to speak, and the whole person looks a little decadent, but as long as he speaks, it must be a word that occupies the truth.

For example, the autumn harvest matters, it is already the end of July, and August is the season of millet harvest, the farmers in the village go to the fields early and evening, looking at the crops in the field and crying, Wu Qingchao does not care at all, he said that the catastrophe has been formed, even if it is to cry in the field every day, it has no effect, it is better to save some physical strength, think about what to do next.

In Wu Fanhui's opinion, Daddy Wu Qingchao can say such words because he has the bottom in his heart, otherwise he would not be so indifferent, but it is not easy to be able to see it so clearly.

What makes Wu Fanhui feel that Wu Qingchao is not simple is that the conditions at home should be said to be good, but Wu Qingchao always covers up, and the disguise is quite good, compared with the whole village, the conditions at home can only be regarded as average, far less than the conditions of the elderly and Lizheng, and not as good as some families in the village, but from the actual situation, the conditions at home are second to none in the village.

Why did Wu Qingchao do his best to cover up the family's solid affairs, this must be reasonable, you must know that it is okay to cover up for a day or two, and it is not easy to cover up for more than ten years.

Mother Wang and Cui are not simple, between their gestures, they all reveal the breath of living in a big family, the mother-in-law of the farmer is not so particular, it is normal to be unkempt, the voice is very loud, and it is also very vulgar, and he does not care about his own image at all, but Wang Hecui cleans up very neatly every day, although he is also wearing coarse cloth clothes, it cannot be so clean, but it looks very comfortable and coordinated, and Wang and Cui speak in a low voice, and there has never been a time to shout loudly.

More crucially, Wang Hecui rarely goes out, almost always at home, and does not show his face outside.

This is its own character, and it can only be formed if it is exercised in the big family for a long time, and if you have always lived in Ma'anshan Village, it is impossible to have such a character.

The two younger sisters, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang, are Wu Fanhui's most attention.

Although the family is full of thoughts and actions of male superiority and inferiority, the parents are still strict with their two daughters, they can't speak too loudly, they can't show their teeth when they smile, they are not allowed to have sex with other girls in the village, they can't make noise when they eat, they have to take care of their father and brother, and if someone comes to eat at home, they can't serve on the table.

Maybe it's too suppressed, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang are not very lively, they look a little dull, and they always give people a feeling of timidity, which makes Wu Fanhui look very distressed.

Wu Fanhui before the crossing, there is a daughter, the daughter is very lively, of course, the times are different, now the trend of male superiority and inferiority of women is prevalent, and it will be popular for hundreds of years, girls are born in this era, thinking about being as free and unrestrained as hundreds of years later, it is impossible.

What Wu Fanhui can do is to care about his two sisters as much as possible, this concern penetrates into all aspects of life, including the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, including words and deeds, when he talks to his two sisters, he has a smile on his face, and when he listens to the two sisters, he is very patient, and every time they let them finish everything they want to say.

Wu Fanhui's efforts, the effect is very clear, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang are obviously more lively, maybe no one listened to them before, and they can't go to the village to play with other children, some are used to autism.

It's not enough to just do this, the girls from big families are more or less autistic, but these girls are accompanied by maids, there are special gentlemen to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills, and there are special gentlemen to teach etiquette and other knowledge, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang can't enjoy these.

Wu Fanhui is even more worried that time will pass soon, in Ma'anshan Village, time is not worth anything at all, and the most wasteful thing for the Zhuang family is time.

In a few years, the two younger sisters will face the matter of getting married, and if they marry the young man in the village, the future of the two younger sisters will be completely ruined.

(Ask for favorites, ask for clicks, ask for recommendation votes.) ）

Wu Fanhui thinks a lot about his own future, and the requirements of this era for individuals can be summed up in nine words.

Wu Fanhui not only thinks about his own future, but also thinks about the future of his family, especially the future of his two younger sisters.

But all this must be built on the basis of his own rise and growth, and only when he grows stronger can he truly take care of his family.

What is the future, Wu Fanhui has not yet seen the direction, and the troubled times are coming, or they have come.

In the troubled times, how to gain a foothold, is to fall into the grass, like Li Zicheng to roll up the storm of rebellion, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, create a new dynasty, or take the road of the imperial examination, find and seize the opportunity in the troubled times, and gradually rise.

As the grassroots at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention participating in the imperial examination, there is no chance to study, a thirteen-year-old boy has not entered the school for a day, and in the eyes of outsiders he is illiterate.

But Wu Fanhui still wanted to choose the road of the imperial examination, and did not consider the choice of falling into the grass for the time being.

Wu Fanhui is not particularly anxious, and sometimes it is useless to be in a hurry.

He found that his father Wu Qingchao was also paying attention to him at all times, paying attention to his every move, because the changes were too great, Wu Qingchao also needed time to adapt, and he may have been thinking about the reason, but Wu Qingchao would never think of the reason for this.

Since they are observing, then there will be the next step, in Wu Fanhui's view, the parents are not ordinary people, at least not exactly the face of the loess and the back of the village.

Wu Fanhui's will is very strong, before the crossing, because of the special nature of his work, he has developed a bold and bold character to do things, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will do his best, and it is not too much to describe it as ruthless. Many times, individuals face countless difficulties and problems, if they are frightened by difficulties, the spirit of the individual collapses, then the first to fall is themselves, at this time, the best thing to do is to resist themselves, with the momentum of not reaching the goal.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth.

Of course, Wu Fanhui is still very practical, if this year's time passes, and his father Wu Qingchao still doesn't have any action, then he has to have other considerations, and when he has to, he can also choose the path of falling into the grass.
