In the twenty-third year of Taiqi, Sunjia Village, Yezhu Slope.
"Shanzi, come here and say goodbye, let me bless you." A dull female voice came.
Sun Shan obediently walked over, knelt on the ground, took the three sticks of incense handed over by Su, kowtowed three times, and inserted the incense into the soil. Then Su murmured to herself, which probably meant: My ancestors bless me, my father-in-law bless me, and my son may be healthy, grow up quickly, and be safe and happy.
After saying that, he poured three cups of tea and three cups of wine into the ground.
The man next to him shouted: "Shanzi, go away, dad is lighting firecrackers."
Then the lonely mountain forest was filled with the sound of firecrackers, which seemed particularly loud.
Mrs. Su picked up the basket containing the tributes, and the man carried Sun Shan on his back, and they went down the mountain together.
"You are back, have you paid homage to Yezhu Slope?" As soon as Sun Shan stepped into the door, an old woman with half-white hair, about 50 years old, came face to face.
After seeing Sun Shan, he smiled happily, took his grandson's hand, and walked into the main hall.
Mrs. Su and the man called her "Mother" and said they were paying their respects, and then walked to the kitchen.
"Grandma, thank you, I will kowtow to Grandpa." Sun Shan replied obediently.
The old woman touched her little grandson's head lovingly and said kindly: "Just bow, just bow, and let me bless you."
"Mom, how do you cook pork?" The man walked in from the kitchen and took out the tribute he had just paid homage to, two pounds of pork belly, which had been boiled in water.
"Let's call Su's braised pork and eat it tonight." The old woman looked at the sky. It gets dark early in winter, so it's time to prepare dinner.
The man said oh, took the pork to the kitchen, handed it to Su, and ordered him to make braised pork.
Mrs. Su nodded and continued busy with her daughters in the kitchen.
The old woman walked into the main room, opened the key to another room, pulled her grandson in, opened the lid of a golden and black earthenware jar, took a piece of shortbread as big as a palm from it, handed it to her grandson, and said with a smile: "Lick it Licking your mouth, there will be food later, let’s eat braised pork tonight.”
Sun Shan happily took the cake and nodded numbly: "Grandma, I'm going out to play."
"Go, don't go far, it's cold." The old woman touched her grandson's clothes kindly. It was okay, and the cotton-padded jacket was quite warm.
Sun Shan walked out of the main room with the shortbread, said hello to his parents again, walked out of the house, and came to the small pond in the village.
Why!
Sun Shan sighed, looked into the distance melancholy, and was lost in thought again.
It has been 5 years since he came to this time and space, and he is the "born child" in the novel.
Consider half a premature baby.
There is an old saying that a baby will live for 7 months, reach full term at 10 months, and die after 8 months.
Sun Shan was born after 8 months of pregnancy. At that time, the whole family thought they would not survive for three days, and Su cried her heart out.
I don’t know whether God pities Su, or whether she was pregnant with memories of her previous life and had a strong will to survive. She actually lived for three days, lived past the full moon, and lived to be 5 years old now.
I was so happy that Su held it in his hand for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. He was so obedient to Sun Shan that he could raise him as a second-generation ancestor.
The reason why we worship Yezhu Slope today is because Sun Shan was born there.
According to Su's recollection, five years ago, when she was eight months pregnant, she went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables as usual.
It was particularly quiet in the mountains that day, and there were usually villagers active. It was almost noon, and the man was about to go home and make lunch.
Su bundled up the wild vegetables and hurriedly went down the mountain.
Passing by Wild Boar Slope, for some reason, I stepped on a stone, turned my foot, and rolled down the slope.
Su Shi clutched her stomach in panic, and her back hit a big rock before she stopped rolling.
After making a sound, Su Shi felt pain in her back, and then she found that her lower body was bleeding, staining the ground.
Su touched her belly and felt pain. She was about to give birth.
Having given birth to four children, this feeling is all too familiar.
Su Shi shouted loudly, but unfortunately the sky and the sky didn't respond, and the earth and the earth didn't work. Normally, Yezhu Slope would often see villagers going up and down the mountain, but that day it was deserted, with no one passing by.
Su endured the pain in fear and tried to climb up the slope, but failed.
Thanks to the experience of multiple births, practice makes perfect. I recall the village mother Wen taught me how to give birth to a baby.
After a long period of pain, the child was finally born.
Su Shi was covered in blood and quickly opened the baby's legs.
Thank God, it’s the little bird!
With a will to survive, Mrs. Su picked up the baby and patted the baby's feet hard.
After screaming, Su fainted and was later discovered by Sun Bomin, who was looking for someone. He hurriedly carried it back and asked for a doctor.
According to Su's later recollection, when she rolled down, she thought she was going to be finished. She didn't know where she got the strength to stop herself from continuing to roll down, and finally rolled to the roadblock.
At the moment when he was about to faint, a breath of air came from nowhere and breathed into his mouth, renewing his life and giving birth to a child.
Later, in a daze, I seemed to see a man carrying a basket filled with medicinal materials and blowing into the baby's mouth, and the baby let out a cry.
The man disappeared.
After hearing this, the family members, especially the mother-in-law and the man, burst into tears. The man murmured, "That's daddy, that's daddy, bless me, bless me to have a child."
It turned out that when my father-in-law went up the mountain to collect medicinal materials, he was attacked by a wild boar while passing by the Wild Boar Slope. He rolled down the Wild Boar Slope, lost too much blood, and died on the Wild Boar Slope.
Nowadays, Mrs. Su is pregnant and rolled down the wild boar slope, but she can still give birth safely. The mother and child are safe, which can be said to be a miracle.
It must be the grandson’s blessing.
Gradually, during every New Year and festival, the Su family would always bring her son to Yezhu Slope to pay tribute and pray for her father-in-law's blessing.
Today is the winter solstice, celebrating the winter and celebrating the New Year. The folks in Sunjia Village come out to worship their ancestors and gods.
Sun Shan walked out of his house and walked slowly along the village road. Staying at home was really boring, so I went out to the village and wandered around.
He took a bite of shortbread with his small mouth.
Delicious! In his previous life, Sun Shan wouldn't have even looked at this kind of cake.
Sunjia Village, as its name suggests, the whole village has the same surname and the same ancestor.
It is said that a hundred years ago, our ancestors traveled over mountains and waded in order to escape the war before they came to Sunjia Village.
Sun Shan looked around. Sunjia Village was surrounded by mountains. There was only one so-called "village road" leading outside, and this village road required climbing over two mountains to reach the town, then pass through the town and reach the county.
No wonder our ancestors fled here and never fled again. The countryside is remote and the transportation is blocked. There is no benefit to occupying this place.
It’s no wonder that whether it’s troubled times outside or prosperous times, Sunjia Village has lived through it peacefully. Only when he went out to pay the grain tax did he realize that things had changed and the emperor was no longer the emperor.
Sun Shan sat on the ridge of the field and sighed.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and was supported by the state. He had a dull personality in the orphanage, and even the director didn't like him.
He was beaten often and ate little.
But I have known since I was a child that I have to study hard, and my grades have always been far ahead. With perseverance, I caught the last train of 985 and was admitted to an agricultural major that no one was studying.
After graduation, with perseverance, I was admitted as a clerk in the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, which had no one to take the exam but had a formal establishment.
Engage in agricultural scientific research.
For Sun Shan, he is already very satisfied.
Due to his status as an orphan, although his grades were average, the state provided subsidies for his living expenses and tuition fees, so he did not have to go into debt to study.
A few years after graduation, I was frugal on food and expenses, and my employer had a dormitory, and food was included.
No love, no marriage. The unit I belong to is in a remote mountainous area, and the housing prices are not expensive.
I have saved a down payment and am preparing to buy a house.
