Sir and my happy life

Chapter II

The 1950s were an era of political command for Chinese. From the early days of liberation, when the local tycoons were divided into land, three anti-five rebellions, public-private partnerships, and the Great Leap Forward to the people's communes. A whole set of political systems for governing the country in the former Soviet Union has begun to take shape at home.

Dong Guozheng has been running around for many years and has seen a lot. In the army, he learned a set of Xiangniu skills with a Shandong comrade surnamed Yang. No matter what kind of cattle he observes, he knows how many years the cattle have been raised, what kind of ploughing the land, from the five features of the cattle to see the internal organs, the cow eats grass and is picky or not.... Coupled with his flexible mind and cleverness, he started to sell cattle for a living, he bought the cattle back, divided into cultivated land type, this kind of cattle sell the highest price, sell meat type, this kind of cattle need to grow strong, sell to others to kill the meat rate is high, sick cattle bought back to raise a period of fat fat. There is a lot of set in this regard. In the past few years, the business has done well and made a lot of money. By the end of 1959, their family not only had a lot of savings in rural credit cooperatives, but also (it should be known that more than ninety percent of the people in that era had never entered the doors of credit unions). The average daily stock of cattle in the hometown is more than fifty heads. Life is flourishing, and the clothes added by Dong Guozheng and his wife are different from ordinary rural families. In the summer, I wear xiangyun gauze pants, which is an ancient method of bubble silk fabric, and the breathable coolness of wearing yellow and black on the body is fluttering on one side. In the spring and autumn, Dong Guozheng was a Zhongshan suit made of all hair, blue and dark blue, all of which were customized by the tailor master who went to the county town. He is tall and very handsome. The couple is also very friendly to the villagers, who has someone who is sick, the family is short of money to do big things, as long as there is a need for their family to help. They build roads and do public facilities, and their homes also pay more than others. No one in his hometown did not know Dong Guozheng's name, and everyone called him "a capable man and a great benevolent person" in unison.

”

As the saying goes, "Blessings depend on misfortunes, and misfortunes depend on blessings." "Who would have thought that a great catastrophe would be like a high-speed train, quietly rolling toward this home?" It's so thunderous, it's so sad. In 1960, a new top-down political campaign of "cracking down on speculation and confiscating all unreasonable wealth in a unified manner" was launched throughout the country. Dong Guozheng's family bore the brunt of it, the cattle were taken away, the deposits of rural credit cooperatives were confiscated, and Dong Guozheng was placed in custody for forced labor reform. Forty-eight years old, in his prime, was crushed by all this in front of him. The wealth he had accumulated over the years of hard work had disappeared overnight, how unwilling he was, he thought about it day and night and did not understand what was going on, and since then he has become depressed and sick, and unfortunately passed away a year later with hatred.

The roof leaks and the seam is even rainy

The broken ship was again met with a headwind

After Dong Guozheng's death, the eldest son Chunzhi took on the role of the top pillar of the family. He was skillful, and the shoes of his younger siblings were all from his hands. He got up early and did farm work to earn work to support his family, and at night he helped his mother golden show spinning and weaving. In 61, Chunzhi was almost twenty years old, one meter seventy-eight tall, standard Chinese character face, fair skin, everyone gave him a nickname "Jade Face Scholar." "One day in July of this year, early in the morning, he carried a sprayer to the cotton field to sprinkle pesticides (drug name 1059) due to the hot weather, poor Chunzhi heat stroke plus pesticide poisoning, died unexpectedly.

Jin Jinxiu is a woman with a hard life, who suffered a widow and lost her son in middle age. Even two consecutive blows made her suddenly much older, her hair was white, her body was rigid, and at this moment she even had the heart of death. But looking back at her children, she quietly swallowed the tears into her stomach and thought: I must be strong and not fall. What else would the children do? Jin Jinxiu was born in 1913 into a wealthy family. There is an older brother in the family, two sisters are the third in line with the girl, and the milk name is the third sister. My father and my ancestors were in the timber business for generations, and their families were well-off. I grew up living a carefree life. Their family has an unwritten rule that only boys are allowed to study, girls are not allowed to go to school, and girls must learn to do a full set of female workers such as spinning and weaving. After liberation, her mother's family was designated as a landlord and was highly regarded. But Jinxiu's husband is a veteran and has lived a very happy life for the first half of his life. Within three years of the death of her husband and the accidental poisoning of her eldest son Haruhi, three daughters of Jinjinxiu died of illness one after another. Again and again, bad luck befell the bitter golden show. The villagers talked about it: Dong Shouzhi's family was too pitiful, what happened to their family. Why are so many murders coming? A gentleman who knew a little about feng shui said to Shou Zhiniang, "Third sister, try changing the house." Everyone was unexpectedly concerned about her family.

When the house husband was still serving in the army at the time of liberation, she and another girl from the same village who lived in the mother's house (their owner's surname was Zhang) were given a large tile house of the landlord's family. The wooden structure of the house, the ancient leather partition fan in the house, the carved beam painting building, is very grand. The entrance door is a two-compartment room facing each other, in the middle is a large patio surrounded by four large bluestones, and inside is a large living room with a shrine and a wooden granary for grain. There are two rooms on the left and right, and this structure of the house is called the bright three dark six from feng shui, and the four waters return to the church. The rich people in the old society basically built houses in this pattern.

Since the two families moved in, they have lived in harmony like relatives, regardless of each other. The Zhang family has a little boy who is the same age as Shouzhi, and they play together and never fight, and they are brothers and sisters. Since the Shouzhi family had one accident after another, the two families had discussed tearing down the old house and separating it for each family. The Zhang family got the living room part of the house, the Shouzhi family got the box part of the house, and the two families reluctantly shared a harmonious home. According to the actual situation, the village allocated the foundations for each of their two families. Although Jin Jinxiu is a rural woman, she has a proposition for doing things. A few years ago, when their family's business was good, she was kind and charitable, and whoever had difficulties always took the initiative to help. After their family suffered this series of disasters, the villagers had money and made a strong contribution, and the house was quickly built. Thus began the difficult years of a pair of orphans and widows.
