Chapter 210: Life Is Really Not Easy

Thinking of this, Niu Caigao felt an indescribable envy in his heart.

In the end, it was their family who was a little unlucky.

When they first migrated from the north, they encountered several groups of mountain bandits.

Those demons who kill people without blinking, kill people when they see them. So much so that there are not many young adults left in their family......

Now their priority is to survive as soon as possible.

As long as they survive this winter safely, next spring, their entire family will definitely have a lot of newborns.

Niu Caigao took his whole clan and followed Wu Hongsheng's family back.

They returned to their homes with excitement written all over their faces.

"Dad, that's great. With these wild hairy chestnuts, our family can finally have a full meal! ”

During this time, Niu Caigao's eldest son, who is the future patriarch of the Niu family, Niu Agui, was anxious every day for the whole family's food.

He thinks about it day and night, and he dreams that he is full and warm. And in the dream, he still eats tempting big fat ducks, old hens, and delicious wolfberry stewed pig's trotters,......

Thinking of the dishes he once ate, Niu Agui couldn't sleep every night.

How can a man like him, who dreams of pig's trotters every day, sleep?

As long as he lay down on the haystack at night, his mind was full of the good food.

Every night, he heard his stomach growling, and he heard the stomach rumbling of the people sleeping next to him.

As long as he was at night, he had to stay up for a long time before he could fall asleep slowly.

Seeing that his favorite eldest son was already as thin as skin and bones, with high cheekbones, and no more meat on his body, Niu was a tall father, and his heart hurt.

His son has been the most sensible since he was a child.

Over the years, he has been his most effective right hand.

A group of seventy-eight of them was able to come here safely from thousands of miles away from the north, and it was a lot of dependence on him as a sensible child.

As soon as he thought of this, Niu Caigao suddenly sighed, "Let's have a full meal today!" ”

"Let's have a pot first, big duck stewed chestnuts!"

Hearing this, all the clansmen present were extremely excited. "Great, great......"

Some people were a little excited, and tears were falling from the corners of their eyes at that time.

It's been a long, long time since I left my hometown and migrated south. Along the way, they didn't know how they got here.

Seeing the old people, children, and men around them all fall to the ground due to weakness, and some even sleep in the ground forever, their hearts are like knives.

It really hurts, it hurts.

As they walked numbly, there was only one thought in their minds.

"When is a day like this?"

They just want to settle down.

I want to have a safe, calm and stable life.

Being able to eat a bowl of full rice, a bowl of hot soup to drink, and sit quietly in a warm room, they feel that it is not a simple happiness.

Every time they were about to fall, they would tell themselves, "Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer......

These women, with the tenacity in their bones, finally persevered.

Today, after all the hardships, they should really be able to eat a full bowl of rice.

The sweet hairy chestnuts, and the big fat duck that was slowly roasted over low heat,...... Everyone present, the saliva in this mouth began to flow slowly like a stream.

"Fragrant! This meat is so delicious! ”

Niu Sanduo, who felt that he hadn't eaten a piece of meat for a long time, couldn't help but sigh at this time.

When he didn't cross over before, he never knew how to cherish his happiness.

When he was in school, if he felt that the school food was not to his palatable, he would take two bites casually, and then put the whole plate of food into the bucket that entered the school.

In fact, he is not the only one who does such a thing, and many of his classmates are basically similar to him. Otherwise, how could those buckets of water in the school be filled every day?

He was just too blessed back then.

Although I have read it many times, "Who knows that Chinese food on the plate is hard work". But he, a person who has never grown food, can't really appreciate that food is not easy to come by.

Since crossing into this ancient society with particularly backward productivity, Niu Sanduo feels that he has really been tortured!

As the male of the family, he had to learn how to farm.

He actually wanted to study, however, this father in his family only called him dozens of simple traditional Chinese characters, and knew that he could write, so he didn't even teach him.

Later, Niu Sanduo knew that he was not a farmer, and he couldn't bear that hardship at all. He wanted to be an official, or to do business.

However, in this strange ancient society, there was no imperial examination system at all!

It is still being pursued, the nine-product Zhongzheng system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

If you want to be a high-level or middle-level official, you must be born well. It must be ensured that his family is a family of gate valves.

Niu Sanduo knew that he couldn't be a middle and high-level official. Back then, he was staring at the lowest officials.

He knew that the county order at the bottom, the petty officials at the county level, could be bought with money.

However, the Niu family is not rich at all!

The entire Niu family has been hollowed out, and there is no way to make up so much money.

As a result, Niu Sanduo felt that his path to becoming an official was directly blocked.

If he can't be an official, he wants to do business.

However, in this ancient society where transportation was not developed, doing business was quite costly. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous.

Because the security here is particularly bad. There are bandits in many places, and many places like black and eat black.

In addition, the officials and officials of various places, as well as their local merchants, are not easy to mess with. When they faced the new merchants from other places, they all turned into a group of hyenas who chose to eat people.

So, Niu Sanduo found out again when he was in his 20s. In his life, because the family power is relatively small, and the family has no money, he can't do business at all!

It's not okay to be an official, and it's not okay to do business. As a man, if he wants to live, he can only go to farming.

So, over the years, Niu Sanduo has basically been at home, with all the men of the Niu family, farming in the fields.

Day after day, year after year, he was facing the loess with his back to the sky, so that his lofty ideals at the beginning were wiped out.

In addition, some time ago, he personally experienced the escape journey from north to south, Niu Sanduo deeply felt that this life is really not easy!
