Before Ma Lin met Qiu Ju, he didn't have a plan to take Qiu Ju off in his mind, he made up his mind to take Qiu Ju, and that was after meeting Qiu Ju.

In Marin's memory, Qiu Ju is Qiu Ju.

When Qiu Ju first came to Ma's house, she was a thin and yellow little girl. Qiu Ju was picked up by Ma Zhanshan and went home, Qiu Ju came to Gushantun with his parents in Guandong, and the travel along the way made Qiu Ju's parents infected with typhoid fever, and their family of three could no longer walk when they walked to Gushantun. Qiu Ju's parents lay at the crossroads in the middle of the street, looking at the strange sky overhead, they knew that their escape from the famine had come to an end, they had escaped from the famine, but they had not escaped death, and the abominable typhoid fever and hunger and fatigue had brought their lives to an end. To their relief, they finally escaped from their hometown after years of famine, and they were not at ease with Qiu Ju, who was only twelve years old, and they had thousands of reasons to die, and they could not leave the lonely Qiu Ju alone in a strange foreign land.

Qiu Ju sat beside them and cried thinly, the weak pale cry was the reason why Qiu Ju's parents were dead, Qiu Ju's cry attracted the men, women and children of the backers, they were no stranger to the scene in front of them, that year, the people who fled from the famine poured out of the gate like a tide.

Qiu Ju's father saw the men and women who surrounded him, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw for his daughter Qiu Ju, and he used all his strength to say: Old ...... Fellow...... Please...... Take this girl back and give her a bite to eat...... When a cow is a horse...... It's up to you......

Mother also said: Please kind-hearted people, give ...... My daughter's bite to eat...... Just don't let her starve to death...... Please......

In those years, the fathers and villagers who supported the mountain also had that heart but not that strength. Only Ma Zhanshan has the heart and the strength, and he feels that what is coming in front of him is a big bargain. Ma Lin was ten years old that year, and in a few years it would be time to give his son Zhang Luo's daughter-in-law, early Zhang Luo and late Zhang Luo, but that is sooner or later Zhang Luo, today I don't spend a penny to pick up a girl and go home, not to mention that I will be my daughter-in-law in the future, it is for her to stutter, and it will not lose anything to use her as a cow and a horse for a few years. The shrewd Ma Zhanshan shook the hand of the crying Qiu Ju, nodded at Qiu Ju's parents, who were already on the death line, and said: I accepted your child, and in the future, if I Ma Zhanshan has a bite to eat, there will be this girl to eat.

Qiu Ju's parents had no reason not to close their eyes, and finally their parents went worriedly. That time, Ma Zhanshan dug a deep pit in the back mountain and buried Qiu Ju's parents, which was also a reward for picking up a girl for Bai Bai.

In Marin's impression, Qiu Ju is a tall and strong woman.

No one expected that the thin and yellow Qiu Ju would become different in less than half a year after coming to Ma Zhanshan's house. Thirteen-year-old girls reach developmental age. No matter how good or bad she eats, Qiu Ju can finally eat her stomach, in Qiu Ju's eyes, since she came to the Ma family, it is the New Year every day, and in her young memory, she has never lived such a sun and moon. So Qiu Ju magically gained weight, first her face was fat, and then her whole body, the swollen places had grown, and her head had grown a little longer.

Qiu Ju is two years older than Ma Lin, and the girl matures early, and in Ma Lin's eyes, Qiu Ju is already an adult. After Qiu Ju came to the Ma family, she was the leader inside and out, not only cooking but also feeding the chickens and dogs, and in a few years, Qiu Ju became the housewife of the Ma family.

Qiu Ju can appear like this, which makes Ma Zhanshan secretly happy. didn't spend a penny, picked up a labor force in vain, today's labor force, future daughter-in-law, this is a brilliant stroke in Ma Zhanshan's gloomy life. In those days, as soon as Ma Zhanshan saw Qiu Ju, he was happy and secretly proud.

Marin's mother was a sickly woman, and when Marin was five years old, she had a sudden angina. As a man in his prime, Ma Zhanshan never married again. In Ma Zhanshan's concept, gambling, drugs, and sex are the three natural enemies of men. When he first married Ma Linniang, he thought more about passing on the lineage, since he already had a son, what did he do with marrying a woman? Besides, there was an extra woman with a foreign surname in the family halfway, and he didn't live a solid life and didn't feel at ease. So, Ma Zhanshan spent all his thoughts on tending to that land. The land is his life, his career, and it is absolutely impossible for a person to live without land if he wants to live the sun and the moon. This is Ma Zhanshan's life creed.

In Marin's childhood memories, Qiu Ju brought him more warmth and security. In those days, Qiu Ju not only cooked for him, but also laid a quilt for him at night, which was the urinal used at night, and Qiu Ju was also poured out in the morning. In Ma Lin's eyes, Qiu Ju is tall, like a mother and a sister. In Marin's childhood, when there was a lack of female care, Qiu Ju was a pot of charcoal fire in Marin's cold winter. Qiu Ju is not only warm in Marin's childhood memories, but also beautiful.

When Ma Lin turned sixteen years old, Ma Zhanshan proposed to let him have a round house with Qiu Ju, and he did not raise any objections. In Ma Lin's impression, Qiu Ju and himself have been a family for a long time, and whether they are round or not are actually the same.

That is, when Ma Lin was sixteen years old, there was a mustache in the area of Gushantun, and the chickens and dogs were restless for a while, and the villagers were worried about their lives. It was in this environment that Marin's fate changed.

Ma Zhanshan, the landlord of the land, has fully realized that in these days of restlessness and chaos, it is not enough to have land, and if you want to live a happy and down-to-earth life, there is no one in the family with a gun, which is absolutely impossible. So Ma Zhanshan begged all his relatives and neighbors, and finally got a regiment commander in the Northeast Army, and spent him fifty taels of silver to buy a platoon commander title for Ma Lin.

When Ma Lin was sixteen years old, that is, not long after he and Qiu Ju Yuanfang, he became a platoon commander in the Northeast Army.

This is a major event in Ma Lin's life, and it is also a feat in Ma Zhanshan's life. This exodus completely changed Marin's fate.

If it was Ma Zhanshan who bought the title of platoon commander for Ma Lin at the beginning, then all the changes in the future were achieved by Ma Lin's own efforts.

Soon after Ma Lin arrived in the Northeast Army, he was soon selected by Zhang Zuolin's guard battalion. In the years of warlord warfare, Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the Northeast Army, naturally regarded his personal safety as very important. As a guard in Zhang Zuolin's guard camp, Ma Lin learned a lot, not only learned to shoot a gun with both hands, but also understood the truth that he could not understand in his life in Gushantun because of his extensive knowledge.

Many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army know the name of the fast gunner Ma Lin, and his name is almost as famous as the marshal Zhang Zuolin.

The famous Ma Lin really brought many benefits to Ma Zhanshan. There are many beards entrenched in the area of Gushantun, whether they are big or small, and few people dare to harass Ma Zhanshan. The beards all know that Ma Zhanshan's son Ma Lin is serving as a personal guard for Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the Northeast Army, and is a fast gunner. In those days, the small rich man Ma Zhanshan was secretly proud of his big money. He felt that the fifty taels of silver were not in vain, and if there was no money in the past, how could there be peace today.
