Chapter 27 Grandpa Says Ancient 2

  " We just arrived in the provincial capital, and we know nothing, have no connections, and only have a handful of strength.

   You can only go to pull the rickshaw and earn a bite to eat with a handful of strength.

  My favorite place to go is a teahouse, listening to books.

   After a long time, when the face is familiar, he can help the guests to run errands and get a few rewards.

  There I learned to read and understand the truth of being a human being.

   I feel that the provincial capital is better, and I want to take root there.

   Once I pulled a rickshaw to send a guest to the temple to burn incense, and on the way I met two teams of people fighting each other.

   It was a real slash, and the blood was flowing.

   In order to save my life, I escaped by hiding in the garbage.

   When it was dark and there was no one on the street, I dared to climb out.

  I don’t even dare to look for a rickshaw, I just wish I had two more legs, and I would drill when I saw the alley.

   I found a body covered in blood in the alley. I thought he was dead and wanted to run.

  However, the dead person grabbed my foot and almost scared me to death.

   I had no choice but to carry the man back to our residence and bandage the wound with soil, for fear that he would die there.

  Fortunately, the man died. When he woke up, he knew that I had rescued him, and asked me to report to his house.

   Later, that person gave me a lot of money, and with that money, I bought three shops in Houzimen, the provincial capital, and brought my family to the provincial capital.

   Usually, it is enough to collect some rent, listen to and listen to books, and live a little life.

  The eldest and the second child were born in the provincial capital.

   So your grandma has always liked the boss very much and felt that a good life was brought by him.

   I thought that life would go on like this, but I didn’t expect the strong man to come.

   At that time, our three brothers belonged to the same family, and it was certain that they would be arrested as strong men.

   Catching a strong man means that only those who go and do not return, what should we do?

   Only run away!

  We cleaned up a little bit overnight, and all the family and family ran to the countryside.

  The three brothers discussed that even if we ran back to the countryside, we couldn’t run to one place, lest we be caught in one pot.

   That’s it, my eldest brother’s family went to Nei County, and my fifth brother and I went back to our current hometown.

  The family just settled in the countryside and never went out again, it’s a pity for my three shops! "

  " Grandpa, your experience is legendary!

  Then you came back from the provincial capital, didn't you bring anything valuable? "Li Xiaoyu asked curiously.

  " What's valuable, at that time the most valuable thing in our family were those three shops.

   I was in a hurry, and I couldn't deal with the shop floor in time. The only money I had on me was after I repaired this house in my family, and there was not much left.

  Look at those two stone pillars, they were bought at a huge price back then.

   If you don’t have money, you can only rent land to grow, and it’s good to be able to make ends meet.

   But your fifth grandfather did not repair the house when he came back, and bought a few acres of land.

   But later, during the land reform, because these few acres of land were classified as rich peasants, our family was poor peasants because of lack of land. "

  "Then, is there any big man in our neighborhood?"

  " We are a poor place, and there really aren't many big people.

   But there has been Brother Pao here, and he is a very prestigious person here, the kind of person who will give him face. "

  "What happened to Brother Pao in the end?"

  "In the end, the whole family was killed, not even the baby doll was left."

   "So miserable! What about his house?"

  "The house was ripped off and nothing was left."

  …

   Grandpa Li also mentioned that after he returned to the countryside, in order to make a living, he picked salt for the master's family, from Gongxian to Zixian, and that was the real hardship.

  It is purely artificial to pick salt, and it comes out with only one pair of feet, and it has to carry a burden of more than 100 kilograms.

   One trip down, the shoulders and soles of the feet are full of blood blisters.

   That’s it, work has to be done.

   Grandpa Li's story made Li Xiaoyu deeply understand that life is not easy!
