Wind and rain and prosperous river

My ancestors were in Hebei Leting Dawangzhuang, and they were also big families in Leting. Later, there were more and more people, and the family was divided, and the land was not enough to plant, so the grandfather Wang Yongqing went outside to help others.

One hundred and twenty years ago, when he went to Qiqihar to do business, he saw that there were few people here, there was a lot of wasteland, and no one planted it. When he got home, he said to his grandmother, "Let's go to Guanwai." ”

Grandma Zu said: "Let's have a good life, what are we going to do outside the gate?" ”

He said: "There is a lot of land over there, and no one grows it. ”

Grandma Zu agreed.

They sold their house and land and came to what is now Lanxi County, Heilongjiang Province. At that time, the Longsheng River was nameless, it was a river in the Hulan River, and the weeds grew taller than people.

Grandpa Zu was optimistic about this place, paid money to the government to buy famine, set up a shack, and set up a pot for cooking. The wasteland I bought was ten miles to the south, ten miles to the north, ten miles to the east, and ten miles to the west.

came with Mrs. Zu, and there are two sons, the eldest son is called Wang Bin, and the second son is called Wang Kai. The grandfather bought a carriage and a horse, and the grandfather and his son got up early and dug a manhole to build a house, and opened up wasteland and farmed.

Li Xiaoquntun has a man from the Eight Banners, and he is allowed to go to the ten miles of wasteland in the north. At that time, there was a document for buying wasteland, also called a title deed. Grandpa Zu felt that he was justified, so he went to the government to complain, and he was beaten by the board in the last time, and he didn't dare to sit for several days.

The grandfather was not convinced, and he sued after being beaten.

The lawsuit lasted for two years and was won, and the government sentenced the Eight Banners to give up a section of land. The grandfather put on the plough stick and went out nine miles one by one. After planting crops, build a shack every three miles to see the green. Now, the first shack, the second shack, and the third shack have all become the names of Tunzi.

There used to be an old saying: "Don't be a thief if you starve to death, and don't sue if you die." He also said: "One case and three are not close." "Winning the lawsuit, Mrs. Zu doesn't want to be too stiff with the Eight Banners, marrying his daughter to his family as a daughter-in-law. Such a daughter-in-law is not easy to be, only two or three years, and my aunt died of grievance.

One year, the grandfather led people to buy wood in Xiaoxinganling, and after buying it, he tied the wood together and put the row of wood down from the river. Seeing that it was almost time to get to the place, the rows of wood didn't leave, and they didn't move. The grandfather asked him to go down to the river to take a look, and when he touched it, it was a stone. Fish out the stone and wash it with water, it is a stone statue of the dragon king.

Grandpa Zu said, "Let's take the Dragon Lord back." ”

When they arrived at the place, they put the stone statue of the dragon king on the climbing plow and pulled it back. Pull to the west of the Longsheng River, and can't pull it.

The grandfather built a dragon king temple in this place, and burned incense and made offerings to it on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. In those years, the land was farmed, and the wind and rain were smooth every year.

What should I do if I can't eat food? Grandpa and they discussed it, and opened the pot, which is now the wine shop. The name of the pot is called Longsheng River, and later the name of Longsheng River rang and became the name of Tunzi. The sake lees are fed to the pigs, and the pigs grow strong.

The ancestors made money by opening a winery, and bought land and opened wineries in Suihua and Helen. To the east to Suihua Yong'an, to the north to the three shacks of Qinggang, the old Wang family has more than 3,000 land.

Chuhua has a landlord who has 300 acres of land and more than 100 long-term workers. This landlord is very good in the tunzi, and no one has as much land as him.

A man said to him: "The chopsticks of your father's workers are not as many as those of the old Wang family of Longshenghe." ”

After this person finished speaking, he deliberately went to the Longsheng River to count the big chests. There are ten large squeaks in a nine-room house, and there are more than 200 roots in the old Wang's house.

In my grandfather's life, there were six buddies in total, and they all smoked big cigarettes. The sixth grandfather's name is Wang Shizhe, and he died after just over a month of marriage. The old lady was widowed in the Wang family, and the family looked up to her everywhere. After several grandfathers discussed, they also passed on the gift of the fourth master king to her.

The old lady is the daughter of a big family, and she studied when she was a girl and said a lot. She only eats the bucket of water in the front of her, but does not eat the bucket in the back, saying that the guy carries the water and farts, and the bucket of water in the back smells. There is no winter calendar summer (note: all year round), she does not eat pork that has been overnight, and says that she can't eat it.

The floor in the old granny's house is all planked. After the fourth grandmother got married, she got up early to cook and passed by the old lady's house, and walked over in wooden shoes, but the old lady was reluctant and said, "You are so noisy, can I sleep well?" Can you let me sleep a little longer? ”

Later, the fourth grandmother passed through her house, crawled past, crawled through her house and then walked aisle.

Later, the old lady had a granddaughter-in-law, she said: "Three generations have to comb three kinds of hair, so that outsiders can see the generation at a glance." "The old lady combed the pimple mustache, she asked her daughter-in-law to comb the hairpin hairpin, and the granddaughter-in-law to comb the Beijing hair.

The granddaughter-in-law's Jingtou is simple, the hair is coiled at the back, put it in the net, and insert it with a pin outside, which is trouble-free and good-looking. The hairpin head of the fourth grandmother is difficult to comb and ugly, and the hairpin is heavy and unbearable to wear on the head. She folded the hairpin and showed it to the old lady.

The old lady understood what was going on and asked, "Do you want to comb your hair?" ”

The fourth grandmother said: "I comb that hair, people laugh at it, and I also comb the pimple, right?" ”

The old lady pouted, but agreed.

After settling down in the Longsheng River, the old Wang's family slowly branched like a tree, one strand became two strands, and two strands became six strands. My grandfather's generation, two of them have no descendants, and they both have step-sons. started to live together, and in the future, some ate, drank, prostitute and gambled, some were lazy to eat, and they were holding their breath in their hearts when they were doing serious work. When the family was divided, it was divided into six shares, one share, and the old lady's share was deliberately divided a little more.

At the time of the land reform, the old lady's share was the landlord, and the old lady and the fourth master were fighting. Two or three years after the land reform, the old lady died, and she lived to be more than seventy years old.

The four grandfathers and four grandmothers were afraid of the old lady, and no one dared to be angry with her. There is a king in the grandchildren, I have to call him the second uncle, he dares to be angry with the old lady.

The second uncle has a good brain. When you go to a private school, you have to memorize a book, and the teacher a needle into the book, and you have to memorize a few pages when you tie a few pages. The second uncle remembered it after reading it once, and memorized it very well. After memorizing the book, he went to the side to play shadow puppetry, and the other students had no heart to endorse the book.

The teacher complained, and the second uncle was beaten by the board. One time the second uncle was scared and ran to my house, and my grandmother wrapped several layers of cloth around his buttocks. If I go back and get beaten again, I can't get any worse.

Once, the fourth master beat his son, no matter how he beat him, the old lady's face was not clear.

forced the fourth master to have no choice, so he took out the box gun and wanted to destroy his son.

Only then did the old lady say: "It's in, so be it." ”

Later, the second uncle also smoked a lot, smoked more, pricked less, and his blood vessels were hard, one pimple after another. He doesn't care about anything at home, he doesn't take support when the oil bottle is poured, and others nickname him "Big Regardless".

Once, when a communist contingent passed by the Longsheng River, some said he was bearded, and he said no.

Then they asked, "Are you bearded?" ”

He said, "Yes." ”

"What guns?"

He said: "Cannons." ”

"Where?"

He said, "It's in my house." ”

"What's your number?"

He said: "Deyuan." ”

In fact, his nickname is Deyuan. He talked nonsense like this, and people knew that he was not a beard, but nonsense.

Erniang died before she was forty years old, and the second uncle was less than fifty years old when she died.

The fifth grandfather's name is Wang Shizhen. After the separation, there was a pot in the ten rooms, and there was a hundred acres of land in front of Suihua. He smoked a big cigarette at home and asked the housekeeper Xue Laoyong to cook the pot for him.

In the first year, Xue Laoyong said that the business was not good and he lost money, and the fifth master sold forty cows.

In the second year, Xue Laoyong also said that the business was not good, and he lost money, and the fifth master sold forty yuan of land.

In the third year, Xue Laoyong also said that he would lose money, and the fifth master said: "I won't want the pot and those lands." ”

The fifth master has nothing left, Xue Laoyong has more and more rooms in ten rooms, and he has found a little wife.

Later, I heard that Xue Laoyong was sick and couldn't die if he wanted to, and he was in uncomfortably painful pain. He said to his little wife: "You hurry up to Longsheng River to find Wang Lao Wu and return the family property to others, and my illness will be cured." ”

The little wife is reluctant, she didn't bring this letter, Xue Lao Yongsheng died of pain.

At the time of the land reform, the composition of the fifth grandfather's family was poor peasants, Xue Laoyong's family was a big landowner, and the descendants of the Xue family suffered a lot.

My grandfather's name is Wang Shichen, the second in line, he loves to raise eagles, often rides horses, sets up eagles, leads dogs, and picks rabbits and pheasants in Shangdianzi, and comes back empty-handed.

He smoked cigarettes for three years before he died, and in the first year he sold a trailer with seven horses, and sold the cart with the horse and the whip; In the second year he sold forty acres of land; In the third year, he sold a hundred acres of land.

When the master was sent, the fourth master came back to take charge, and in the summer he stayed at home for twenty-one days, and there were many people who came, killing a pig a day. After sending the master, there are still more than 100 acres of land left in my house.

My grandfather's name is Wang Yunlu, and he is capable of doing it in their generation, and he has a good life.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth masters, the same winery, house, and land were all lost in a few years. I didn't have a place to live, so I stayed at my grandfather's house and didn't leave. Grandma couldn't help it, so she built them a few houses outside.

They didn't do anything, but when the crops were ready, they all went to my grandfather's house to tidy up, and if they didn't let them be done, they went to the house to do it. Grandma got angry and sent them to the township office. If you stay there for a few days, you have to spend money to pump out, and you have wives and children at home. Draw the people back, put them in the car, and send them back with the food. After that, I didn't send it to the township office.

After a few years, these groups all left, some went to Hailun, some went to Qiqihar, and some went to Xinjiang. One threw down a daughter, and some took away all the dowry gifts. These aunts are all my grandmother's masters, and after buying and escorting them, they will be sent to my mother-in-law's house. My family has also become their mother's home, and in the winter, my father often puts on a climbing plow and takes them back to live in their parents' house.

My father's name is Wang Cixue, there are four brothers, and he is the second. In their generation, there are still more than 100 plots of land and a pot at home. My uncle Wang Ci'an died early, my father was in charge, the third uncle Wang Cidong, and the old uncle Wang Cijun all admitted to doing it (note: capable).

My third uncle has been rare since he was a child, and he almost put his life on the line for the sake of the horse. One year, a group of bearded men passed through the Longsheng River, and one of the bearded horses died, taking one of my horses with them. My third uncle was in his twenties at the time, and wherever people went, he followed him and his beard for seven or eight days. When he arrived (note: read liEo, in the end), the people made another horse in another tunzi, gave him the horse, and he rode back.

In another year, the Japanese gave up their laborers, and they just had to give up a horse and a person. The third uncle had to go, he was afraid that the horse would die there, so he went to the Yichun ravine with the horse.

They live in a makeshift shelter with air leaks everywhere. Eat bud rice grains, three meals a day. People cut down trees in the mountains, put horses on climbing plows, and pull out wood. The horses pulled the wood for a winter, and the third uncle ate the buds of the rice grains for a winter, and he was beaten when he worked slowly, and it was a big fate to come back alive.

The third uncle was about thirty years old that year, and when he returned home from Yichun, he lost all his teeth. The lice on his body swept into the brazier and snapped.

Before he was fifty, he was blind, arteriosclerosis in his fifties, and died in his sixties. In this life, he didn't have a mouthful of teeth.

In 1944, the Japanese pioneer group came to the Longsheng River. What kind of wilderness are they pioneering? Our family has more than 100 acres of land, and all the good land belongs to them, so I will give a few dollars. A good winery, gave a few money, and it was theirs. When they first came, they lived with the locals in the north and south kang, and some lived in the east and west houses.

My father saw that he couldn't stay in Longsheng River, so he left more than ten acres of land and rented it to others to plant. Dad put on a carriage and horses, took the family to the north of Qinggang, and planted four or six plots for the landlord Wang Da Mule of Li Wentun. There are cattle, horses and sheep at home, as well as two trailers, and the grain is collected, and the landlord and our family are divided into four or six.

It's okay in winter, my father and his brothers drove these two trailers to the mountains, pull millet into the mountains, and pull wood out. The mountain road is difficult to walk, the horse is led in front, the car is driven behind, and the cotton pants are soaked when you are tired.

The brother was afraid of encountering a beard, so he left after feeding the horse in the middle of the night, got up early and greedy for darkness, and went once every half a month. They run three times in a winter, and one trip earns two good horses.

The family had money, and my father wanted to buy a hundred acres of land, but he didn't buy it. If you really want to buy it, something will happen.

After Japan's surrender, Li Wentun was reformed, and the landlord Wang Da Mule made people beat half to death.

My family belonged to hired laborers, and the composition of the division was poor peasants at the beginning.

There is a person in Lanxi, nicknamed Liu Dashen, who went to Qinggang North to visit the door. When he heard that my family was a poor peasant, he quit and told others: "Who doesn't know that his family has opened a pot, and when there is a lot of land, it is more than 3,000 yuan?" His family is a big landowner. ”

Others said, "I heard that, didn't you lose later?" Didn't the Japanese rob his family's land and winery? ”

Liu Dashen said: "If the boat is broken, there is a help, and if the bottom is broken, there must be 3,600 nail miles." ”

With Liu Dashen's words, the composition of my family was changed to rich peasants, and the following generations were rich peasants.

In the past, my family had to ask for food all year round, and the food in the yard was carried casually. If you are not afraid of others carrying it, you are afraid that others will harm us. There is an old Xie Tou, an errand boy, a native of Shandong, who stays at my house and helps with the work.

During the land reform, my family often came to fly and climb the plow, and when the poor people entered the house, they would take whatever they liked. When people came to my house to move things, Lao Xie Tou said, "This thing is mine, and I can't move it." That thing is mine, too, and can't be moved. ”

He stopped him like this, cabinets, boxes, jars, etc., and left some for my house.

My name is Wang Enfu, and in my generation, there are more members of the old Wang family. It's just for the rich peasant component, and when I was young, I delayed a lot of things, and no matter how good I did, it was a third-class job, not to mention.

Longshenghe is now these few shares, and the family is capable, and they are all doing well.
