Chapter 10: Little Yellow Beans Fall into the Water

Thirty minutes ago, Soybean stepped on a mud puddle and dropped his shoe when he pulled it out. She let go of the hand that was holding the pineapple and went back to touch her shoes.

When the soybean was bent over to put on his shoes, I don't know who was walking and hit the soybean, and the soybean was planted on the grass by the roadside.

The grass was slippery, and the soybeans couldn't stabilize their bodies at all, and they fell into the ditch even when they were slippery. ……

When the soybeans came out of the water with a flutter, the people of Huangjiagou had already walked to the front, and no one paid attention to the soybeans that fell into the river in the wind and rain.

Because the people of Huangjiawan left in time, and the patriarch and several old people had a tough attitude, there were no casualties.

The nearest village to Huangjiagou, Houshan Zhaozhuang, is half of the village is gone, and only eight or nine families have escaped.

Eight or nine families are surnamed Zhao, and if they are distributed according to the family, it should be eight households, but there is one family that is special after all, and the grandmother is still there, and the family is Zhao Dashan's family.

Zhao Dashan's father, Zhao Qin, is a famous hunter within a radius of ten miles, strong and strong, and learned kung fu from others when he was a teenager.

Huangjiagou in Zhaozhuang is not far away, the mountains are slightly gentle, there is more land, less fertile land, and most of the villagers are hunting while farming for a living.

Unlike Huangjiagou, although the mountains behind it are steep, it is close to the river, there are many fertile fields, and there are few mountains, so the life in the village is a little better than Zhaozhuang.

Zhao Qin's father and mother are honest, known as Zhao Laoshi, gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and the family only has two acres of thin land and six acres of mountainous land.

Zhao Qin is the eldest son, and at the age of seven, he went hunting in the mountains with Zhao Laoshi, and he didn't dare to go into the mountains, so he hunted some pheasants and hares around him, and picked up some mushrooms and wild vegetables.

One day Zhao Laoshi entered the mountains and forests, Zhao Qin was digging wild vegetables alone in the forest, and met an old man passing by, Zhao Qin saw that he was old, so he gave the old man half a piece of thick flour cake that he kept for lunch, and the old man didn't ask for it, he hit a hare and baked it and shared it with Zhao Qin.

Later, Zhao Qin went to find the old man every day, occasionally followed the old man into the mountains to hunt, and learned kung fu for more than half a year.

After the old man left, Zhao Qin became the youngest hunter in Zhao Zhuang, although he was small, he still had a little kung fu in his fists and feet.

The old man left Zhao Qin nine flying knives, and Zhao Qin had no problem shooting a hare and pheasant on the outskirts of the forest.

When he was older, Zhao Qin went into the mountains a little, and slowly when he was thirteen years old, Zhao Qin entered the mountains, and there were many wild beasts in the mountains.

In the following years, the east and west wings were built one after another, and the fence was enclosed.

When Zhao Qin was fifteen years old, there was a shortage of people in the dart bureau, so he took another big dart, and temporarily found a few good hunters to help, including Zhao Qin.

At the age of fifteen, Zhao Qin followed the dart board for a few years, and came back with silver money to buy twelve acres of fertile land, and the second brother married the eldest girl of the Liu family in the same village.

In the second year of the eldest brother's marriage, Zhou Dart Master in Zhao Qin's Dart Bureau had an accident, Zhou Dart Master only had one only daughter, Zhou Qiang, who had just turned seventeen years old, and Master Zhou entrusted his daughter to Zhao Qin on his deathbed.

Master Zhou fled from other places, took his wife and children, halfway, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, his son died of fever, and his wife couldn't afford to stay up for a month, and died.

Zhou Dart Shi cried at his wife and children, and stayed in Nanshan Town, so that someone could burn some paper money in the cemetery of his wife and children during the New Year.

This year, Zhou Qiang was twelve years old, and it happened that the dart bureau was recruiting, and Master Zhou and fifteen-year-old Zhao Qin entered the dart game at the same time.

The Zhou family only has Master Zhou and his daughter, no relatives, and the father and daughter rent a house in Nanshan Town.

I don't worry that Zhou Qiang lives in the town alone, and within 100 days of the master's accident, the two got married, and Zhou Qiang lived in Zhao Qin's house.

Three years later, Zhou Qiang got rid of filial piety, married and rounded, and gave birth to Zhao Dashan the following year, at this time Zhao Qin's eldest brother's eldest son was born three days earlier than Zhao Dashan.

After Dashan was born, Zhao Qin left the dart game, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father-in-law, he was responsible for his wife and children. When I returned to my hometown, farmed and hunted, and fed my family, my life was still good.

The Zhao family is not separated, not only the Zhao family, basically the parents are not separated.

Zhao Qin is very capable, he went into the mountains once, and he hunted a lot of prey, and his family planted more than a dozen acres of fields, and Zhao Laoshi and his two younger brothers usually farmed.

When the farm was busy, Zhao Qin was busy together, and Zhao Qin went into the mountain when the farm was slack.

Sometimes there is no work in the field, and the two younger brothers will follow Zhao Qin into the mountains, and the family life is getting better and better year by year.

Zhou Qiang has been taking care of the children at home, taking care of housework, no matter how busy she is in the field, Zhao Qin will not allow Zhou Qiang to go to the ground. Zhao Qin's two younger brothers and daughters-in-law have a lot of opinions, and it is useless, they can only mumble in front of their own men behind their backs, after all, this family relies on Zhao Qin for eating and drinking.

In early spring, Zhao Qin took his two younger brothers into the mountains and met a blind bear.

If Zhao Qin was alone, he might have to make some effort to beat the black bear back, but he really couldn't fight, and he could get out unharmed, but the bad thing was that day, he brought his two younger brothers.

When the blind bear pounced, the eldest brother didn't listen to Zhao Qin's instructions and made a rash move. The enraged bear blind man was unstoppable, Zhao Qin escorted his two younger brothers to escape, but he was slapped down the mountainside by the bear blind man.

This year, Zhao Dashan was 12 years old, his younger brother Zhao Dachuan was 9 years old, and his sister Zhao Xiaoyu was 6 years old.

The second uncle's son Zhao Dapeng is 15, the second son Zhao Daying is 13 years old, and there are 10-year-old Zhao Xiaolan and 6-year-old Zhao Dadiao.

The third uncle's family, Zhao Dahai, who is three days older than Zhao Dashan, 10-year-old Zhao Dajiang, and 7-year-old Zhao Dahe.

Originally, the mother and son relied on the support of their grandparents and two uncles, and they could grow up the child slowly.

As a result, the second aunt and the third aunt saw that Zhao Dashan's father died, so they forcibly forced the old man to split up on the grounds that Zhao Dashan's brothers were young and the family ate white rice, which would drag down the whole family.

The second uncle and the third uncle all have three sons, the second aunt asks for the land to be divided according to the head, and the third aunt asks for the land to be divided according to the son, and no one wants to suffer losses and be fools.

Zhou resolutely disagreed with the separation, her children were still young, everything in the family was earned by Zhao Qin, relying on Zhao Laoshi and the two uncles, at most barely enough food and clothing.

The Zhao Dashan brothers and sisters also thought that the two uncles would definitely not agree, and the grandparents would not agree. After all, this home was created by Zhao Qin.

However, after all, they underestimated people's hearts, and the second and third aunts quarreled with their sister-in-law Zhou every day over trivial matters, making the family jump.

Grandma Zhao belongs to the kind of mother-in-law who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, when Zhao Qin was there, she felt that her eldest son had the ability and was very good to her eldest daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhao.

Several grandchildren, she and the old man also like Zhao Dashan the most.

As soon as Zhao Qin died, the old couple muttered in the middle of the night, they originally had to rely on their eldest son, but now that the eldest son is dead, they will have to rely on the second and third sons in the future.

The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law want to split the family, and they don't want to divide either, after all, the eldest son is dead, and the grandson is still the grandson.

At first, the old couple and the two brothers of the Zhao family did not agree to divide.

Spring planting began, and Aunt Zhao also went down to the ground, and she couldn't go to the ground at this time.

Aunt Zhao has never planted in her life, and her hands are worn out on the first day, and she can't pick up chopsticks when she eats at night.

After dinner, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhao entered the room directly with a push of the bowl, and Sister-in-law Zhao endured to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but where could her hands get wet.

Zhao Dachuan and Zhao Xiaoyu took it silently, washing dishes and pots one by one.

Zhao Dashan brought hot water over to soak his mother's feet, Zhao Dashan took off her shoes and socks, and her feet were also blistered, and the bubbles burst and blood came out. As soon as she put it in the hot water, Aunt Zhao's tears fell.

Before dawn the next day, Grandma Zhao got up and knocked on the door one by one: "Don't sleep, get up quickly, there is so much work in the field." ”

Zhao Dashan got up and whispered to his grandmother: "Grandma, my mother's hands and feet are broken, can you let her rest for a day." ”

Before Grandma Zhao could speak, Second Aunt Zhao happened to go out, and she took the conversation and accosted: "I also want to rest for a day, mother, sister-in-law wants to rest, and I won't go to the ground." ”

Aunt Zhao got up silently and pushed Zhao Dashan with her hand: "This kid, what nonsense, hurry up and wash the ground." ”

At the end of spring planting, Aunt Zhao darkened a few colors, and she lost a lot of weight.

After the spring planting was busy, the second aunt Zhao and the third aunt proposed to split the family again, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao hesitated, and Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San did not say anything.

The only one who insists on refusing to separate the family is Aunt Zhao, her man has been making cattle and horses for this family for so many years, and as soon as he dies, his children will be driven out of this family.

In the summer, the younger brother Zhao Dachuan was broken by Zhao Daying of the second uncle's family and Zhao Dajiang of the third uncle's family. In autumn, Zhao Xiaoyu was taken out by Zhao Xiaolan to dig wild vegetables and pushed into the river.

Zhao Dashan just walked out of the opposite mountain forest, jumped into the river to pick up the little sister, and when he came back, Zhao Dashan knelt and begged the Zhou family to agree to split up.

Zhao Dashan's mother, Zhou, was also a spicy woman and agreed to divide the family, but she had to ask the family to divide the land equally among the three brothers. Farm tools, pots and pans are all scored in one set. Otherwise, she would have hanged herself on the gate of the Zhao family ancestral hall.

In the end, the four big houses that should belong to the long house were not assigned to Zhao Dashan's family, but the second uncle and the third uncle, and the family was divided into two rooms, and the east and west two sets of wings were also divided into one for the family.

Aunt Zhao, who separated from the family, moved to an old house more than ten meters away from the Zhao family with her children.

Zhao Dashan Zhao Dachuan has been practicing kung fu with his father since he was a child, and he followed his father into the forest at the age of nine, Zhao Dashan was already a pretty good little hunter at the age of twelve, and Zhao Dachuan had already followed his father into the forest twice.

Aunt Zhao did not allow Zhao Dashan to go into the mountains, so Zhao Dashan took his younger brother Zhao Dachuan to hunt some pheasants and hares on the periphery of the forest to find some mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Aunt Zhao's Zhou family has never been in the field, and the four acres of fertile land divided by the family, the mother and son are busy day and night, barely able to eat and wear.

In four years, Zhao Dashan is 16 years old, Zhao Dachuan is 13, and the life of the family is getting better and better. The family saved ten taels of silver, and Aunt Zhao thought about building two wings next to the money she had saved, and she was going to tell Zhao Dashan about her daughter-in-law.

The house has not been built yet, and the daughter-in-law has not said anything, in the middle of the night, she walked into the mountains.

I don't know if it's luck, or Zhao Dashan's father's blessing, half of Zhao's village was buried, but half of Zhao Dashan's village was miraculously bypassed by the sliding rocks.

The frightened mother and son followed the survivors of the village all the way and stumbled out, and a child on the way saw the little yellow bean that fell into the water.

The day was bright, and at this moment the rain finally stopped, and thirty or forty people from seven or eight families walked in the mud with difficulty.

"Look where there is a man." A small child raised his hand and pointed to the river with a strong current.
