The old Zhang family is in a large village in the south of Yongzhou, and his wife is a Hubei native who speaks a difficult Hubei dialect.
Lao Zhang married his wife back in the first year to give birth to a daughter, the second year gave birth to a daughter, two daughters in succession, Lao Zhang was a little afraid, the family planning policy at that time was very strict, so he went everywhere to ask for medical treatment.
But two years later, she was born with a daughter...
There is such a custom in the countryside of Yongzhou, as a family, you must have a son, if there is no son, the family has no hope of continuity.
So Lao Zhang put his three daughters at home and hid in Hubei, but he didn't expect to give birth to two daughters in succession...
Old Zhang returned to Yongzhou discouraged, his wife gave birth to 5 daughters in succession, and can no longer be born, regeneration will drag the body down.
After Lao Zhang returned to Yongzhou, his wife took 5 daughters alone, and only relied on him to work alone, and his life was very hard.
Not only did Lao Zhang and his wife wear tatters, but the 5 daughters did not have clothes to wear, often the second daughter wore the eldest daughter, the third daughter wore the second daughter, one by one...
Seeing that their family was pitiful, some families in the village gave them clothes that their children did not wear.
At that time, no matter how big or rotten the clothes were, they had to wear them for the eldest daughter when they were older, wear them for the younger daughters when they were young, and make up for them when they were rotten, which was better than being cold.
Also, 7 people and 7 mouths, the family eats a lot of rice every day, but a family of 7 people only rely on Lao Zhang to work alone, where can they grow so much grain?
Whenever the green and yellow did not pick up, Lao Zhang had to ask the villagers for help to borrow rice, cut the rice and return it.
In the winter, the family mainly eats sweet potatoes, no vegetables, eat capers, and it is taken directly from the tank, because there is no oil, so it can not be fried.
In this way, Lao Zhang has been staying up for six or seven years, and when the eldest daughter is six or seven years old, she can take care of several younger sisters, and her wife can go to the ground to help Lao Zhang do farm work.
And the family raised a few more pigs, and after selling a few pigs, the remaining pigs were all made into bacon for improving the life of the whole family.
During the New Year, the first pig killed by the old Zhang family stewed a large pot of pork bones mixed with white radish and two large bowls of fat meat, which were eaten by the 5 daughters.
Looking at their full stomachs, Lao Zhang and his wife's eyes were filled with tears...
The eldest went to primary school when he was 8 years old, and at this time, the second had 7 years old and could also take care of his sister, and several daughters of the old Zhang family helped each other to come over.
Remembering the hard days of that time, lao Zhang now not only burst into tears: in the summer, he and his wife would not finish work until 8 p.m.
When the couple returned, the eldest of the 5 daughters was cooking, the small one slept on the ground, everywhere, the couple was too tired, they ate and took a bath and slept, and by the way asked the eldest daughter to take care of the little sister.
When the couple opened the door on the morning of the second day, they found that there were two little daughters sleeping on the threshold...
Fortunately, the hard days of the old Zhang family have slowly changed as their daughters grow up.
The eldest daughter and the second daughter went to work after graduating from junior high school, and the three daughters who followed were the same, and went out after graduating from junior high school...
After the 5 daughters went out to work, the couple's life suddenly became much easier, and Lao Zhang began to be fascinated by drinking, but not a lot of drinking, or the health wine as the countryside said.
In Lao Zhang's own words, now that her daughters have gone out to earn money, they don't have to work so hard, and it is also a pleasure to have wine.
Although Lao Zhang's 5 daughters all grew up in a difficult environment, they all grew up to be all outstanding.
In addition, I went to Guangdong to work, I had money on hand, and I was wearing fashionable clothes, which was even more beautiful.
The five sisters are called the five golden flowers by the villagers.
Whenever around the Spring Festival, the five golden flowers of the old Zhang family are at home, and the home will look particularly lively.
Not just 5 daughters, but also some young people in the nearby village.
The old Zhang family has five golden flowers, and these young people want to come and pick them...
Some of them carried fruits, and some bought chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and came to the old Zhang family to party.
Old Zhang, in line with the principle that all visitors are guests, plus there are these young people to accompany themselves to drink, my heart is particularly happy.
Since several daughters worked in Guangdong, Lao Zhang's life has improved, and people have become red.
And the belly is also significantly larger.
At this time, some people in the village began to envy Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang's 5 daughters sent 1,000 yuan back every month, Lao Zhang had 5,000 yuan, and in less than two years, Lao Zhang built a two-story small building.
Lao Zhang was the first person to build a house in the village, which could not help but make the villagers envious.
However, the hard life of the old Zhang family in the early years, they all knew, and how many people could eat this kind of suffering?
Later, several daughters of the old Zhang family got married one after another, and their son-in-law was also outstanding: the eldest son-in-law opened a factory in Dongguan, and the second son-in-law opened a gas station.
The third son-in-law and the fourth son-in-law are doing very well at home.
The little son-in-law is a teacher...
Although the 5 daughters were married, Lao Zhang still rebuilt a 3-story bungalow.
In the words of Lao Zhang, money is useless at home, only the house is real.
As he grew older, Lao Zhang stopped farming and lived at home with peace of mind.
The wine he drank also developed from a small cup per meal at the beginning to two or three cups per meal, and he drank all day long.
After 5 years, Lao Zhang fell ill and had problems with his liver due to drinking too much.
At this time, the 5 daughters used 400,000 yuan to save Lao Zhang from the dying.
Villagers said that if it were not for the wealth of the 5 daughters, Lao Zhang might have died.
Lao Zhang gave birth to 5 daughters, and worked hard to pull 5 daughters up.
After the daughter is older, Lao Zhang's life is first bitter and then sweet.
Lao Zhang and his wife still live in the village, and the daughters want to take them to their homes, but Lao Zhang does not want to go, just wants to stay at home.
However, whenever the New Year festival, or the birthday of the old Zhang couple, the 5 daughters, whether in Guangdong or in the local area, will rush back with the whole family, and then the old Zhang family's large living room is full of three tables...
Only at this time, Lao Zhang and his wife are the happiest and happiest...
