As soon as he was born, Sun Shan knew where this place was before his eyes could see clearly.
A familiar Cantonese.
Later I found out that what I was talking about was indeed Cantonese, but not the Cantonese from my previous life.
Because this dynasty is called Daqian, a dynasty that has never been heard of.
I'm afraid there was a turning point in a certain period of history. Sun Shan was still young and the villagers were isolated and couldn't figure it out.
The climate here is exactly the same as that of Guangdong. Winters are cold and freezing, but there is no snow.
Rice is harvested twice a year, and this place doesn’t eat spicy food!
Why he said he doesn't eat spicy food is because Sun Shan has seen chili peppers, small and wild chili peppers, and no one in the village eats them.
Sun Shan estimated that the geographical location of Sunjia Village corresponds to the remote mountainous area of a remote small county in Guangdong.
I was a Cantonese in my previous life, so I am very familiar with this environment and climate.
Sunjia Village said it was remote, and it was indeed very remote. It was surrounded by mountains, and you had to go around two mountains to get out of town.
But it is very close to Guangzhou, the capital of Guangnan Province.
We walked over the mountains to the town, then walked for an hour to the county town. From the county town, we walked around a few more mountains and walked for two days and one night to reach the provincial capital.
Sunjiacun perfectly avoids what is now known as provincial highways and national highways.
Access is difficult, the geographical location is worthless, and the chaotic and prosperous times outside have nothing to do with Sunjiacun.
Since the ancestors of the Sun family came here to escape the war, they have lived and worked in peace and contentment for generations, and they would not know anything about the change of weather.
The past two years have been slightly better. Magistrate Huangyang is a good magistrate. Considering that transportation in Huangyang County is inconvenient, he used his annual service to arrange road construction.
Both Sunjia Village and Zhengjia Village have built a so-called "official road" that can pass carriages.
Although many villagers have never seen a horse.
It has become much more convenient for villagers to enter and leave the county.
Occasionally, people from Sunjia Village bring local specialties to the county town to sell them.
Sun Shan has been in Sunjiacun for five years. He has been growing up in the favor of the Sun family, but he also knows the hardships of being a farmer.
Working day and night, the result is just enough to survive.
The Sun family is better, they are rich farmers in Sunjia Village. The family has 30 acres of paddy fields, 10 acres of dry land, and an citrus grove.
Life is much better than that of people in the village, and they can live a well-fed life.
Later, the family was divided. Sun Bomin was the eldest son and was allocated 15 acres of paddy field and 4 acres of dry land.
Second uncle Sun Zhongli was allocated 7 acres of paddy fields and 3 acres of dry land.
Third uncle Sun Shuwen also has 7 acres of paddy fields and 3 acres of dry land.
As for the remaining 1 mu of paddy field owned by the Huang family, it was actually given to Dafang in disguise.
The citrus orchard at home belongs to everyone, and we usually manage it together. The money from the citrus sales is divided into four parts, one for each room and one for Huang.
The Sun family is divided into families, not households. Everyone is still registered under the same household registration. When serving in this way, one person from each family will serve in rotation, and the three brothers will serve in rotation.
As for Huang's pension money, Aunt Sun will cover it all, and there is no need for alimony from the three brothers. However, during the holidays, the third room will provide food, clothing, etc.
It's winter now, and everything is dark and gloomy.
Sun Shan sat by the Xiaojin River and watched the naughty children in the village go down to the river to touch snails.
There is nothing for a peasant boy to eat. As for whether he can touch it, Sun Shan doesn't know. If he is allowed to go into the river, he will definitely not be able to. It is too cold and his body is weak and cannot withstand the torment.
I walked to the river and saw myself reflected in the river.
Sun Shan sighed again, a small bean sprout.
He is short and thin, with a pointed face, high cheekbones, and a pair of dead fish eyes.
When he saw how old he was when he was 3 years old, Sun Shan was sure that he was not a handsome boy, but maybe a little uglier than ordinary people.
Every adult says that he looks like Aunt Su.
Su, on the other hand, is short and thin, with no flesh on her face and high cheekbones. She is not a pretty girl at first glance.
Looking at my father, Uncle Sun, he is ordinary and has a muddy leg.
So Sun Shan looked at the sky in despair, he was destined not to be a handsome boy.
Fortunately, in ancient times, if you had a family background and money, you could find a wife. Sun Shan is not worried about not being able to find a wife. He has more than ten acres of land, seven or eight large blue brick houses, and an aunt who is said to be rich.
Sun Shan queued up to choose girls from other villages.
"Shanzi, what are you doing?" Suddenly a voice shouted from behind.
Sun Shan turned his head and saw his second sister herding cattle not far away.
Sun Lixia hurried over and nervously pulled Sun Shan to the shore. Nothing could happen to his brother.
If something happens to him, grandma and the four sisters will have nothing to rely on.
"Second sister, you are herding the cows." Sun Shan, who was not good at words, asked nonchalantly. What else could he do besides herding the cows where the cows were.
"It's almost time to go back, it's almost noon." Sun Lixia took her brother to where the cows were grazing.
There was a small sack on the ground. He took out a sweet potato from it and said with a smile: "It's just simmered. Eat it."
Sun Shan was a little hungry after digesting the brown sugar and white porridge this morning. He took the sweet potato and said with a smile: "Thank you, second sister."
When I saw that there was still something in the bag, I felt relieved to eat it. What I'm most afraid of is that I will eat it and my second sister won't be able to eat it.
Sun Lixia picked up a sweet potato, peeled it, took a bite, showed her millet teeth, and smiled innocently: "I dug them in the sweet potato field of Mrs. Zhang's house, there are four of them, hehe."
Mrs. Zhang's family is famous for rough work. Whether it is millet, peanuts, or sweet potatoes, it is often spilled all over the floor.
The children in Sunjia Village like to pick things up in their fields.
After digging the sweet potatoes, after a while, the sweet potatoes left in the ground will sprout. According to the green sweet potato teeth, you can dig out the sweet potatoes with a wooden stick.
Sun Shan also likes to dig up the sweet potatoes left by others in the fields, and eats the free stuff, which is very delicious.
Li Xia asked his brother if he wanted more. Sun Shan shook his head and drove the cattle home together.
Go out early in the morning to graze cattle, eat them all morning, go home to rest for a while, and then take them out to graze again in the afternoon. This can reduce the amount of cattle food stored.
Not to mention the cost of labor. For rural people, the most valuable thing is labor.
The sisters of the Sun family took turns herding cattle.
When I got home, my parents and sisters were already at home.
Early in the morning, Ah Nai Huang took her three sisters up the mountain to cut firewood, while the Sun family went to the fields to plant vegetables.
Huang is over 50 years old, but she is very efficient at work. Her family also told her not to do it, but the old lady likes to work.
The third aunt was very dissatisfied with this, saying that Huang not only worked for the eldest family, but also gave all the money he received from his eldest aunt to the eldest family.
Of course, I could only mutter this in my heart. If I said it, the third uncle would definitely slap her in the face. Because of her, the third uncle would not get the benefits of the eldest sister when he was trying to make up for his mistakes in front of the eldest sister.
When Mrs. Huang saw Sun Shan coming back, she smiled lovingly and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll cook some egg powder for you."
Not eating at noon was a really uncomfortable habit, but the conditions at home did not allow it, so it took Sun Shan a long time to get used to it.
He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." He was indeed not hungry. He just ate a sweet potato and his stomach was half full.
Huang just asked and completely ignored Sun Shan's opinion. How could he not be hungry? The little baby should eat more and grow up quickly.
Instructed Su: "Go and cook some egg powder for Shanzi to eat."
Go through the main room and walk into the place where the food is stored. He took out an egg and rice noodles and handed them to Su.
Su took it and asked, "Auntie, don't you want to eat it?"
Mr. Huang shook his head: "Just eat a sweet potato later, just for Shanzi to eat."
The adults will get over it once they get through it. The family's conditions are limited, and food must be tight for the grandson.
Sun Shan sighed helplessly. It felt uncomfortable to eat alone, especially since he was not a real child. It was so embarrassing for a whole family to watch him eat.
Soon Su made rice noodles with eggs and brought them to Sun Shan. She touched his yellow hair and said softly: "Shanzi, eat quickly and eat it while it's hot."
My son's hair is still so yellow and his small body has not grown any taller. It is all my fault that I fell down the wild boar slope, causing him to be born prematurely.
My body is much worse than that of the children in the village. Hey, I need to take good care of myself from now on.
A bowl of ordinary egg rice noodles with a few green vegetables on top looks particularly tempting.
Sun Shan was a good and filial boy, so he said to Mrs. Huang, "Grandma, you can eat too."
Mrs. Huang gnawed on the sweet potato and said with a smile: "My dear grandson, eat it. Grandma doesn't like it, so grandma can just eat the sweet potato." The little grandson is really filial, filial than other children in his family.
Sun Shan knew that Mr. Huang couldn't eat it, so he picked up the rice noodles helplessly and sucked it into his mouth tremblingly.
