Chapter 1
Zhang Jiaohua was born on July 14, 1985, the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The Zhongyuan Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, and in rural areas, they worship their ancestors before this day every year. Zhang Jiaohua's parents are farmers, and he is the eldest and the youngest in the family. Because the first child of his parents is a boy, according to the family planning policy, he can only give birth to one. A line of shocking slogan was written in lime on the dam of Meiziao Reservoir: I ran away and looked for me to find me, and I ran away and demolished the house.
The reason why Zhang Jiaohua was called Zhang Jiaohua was because Zhang Jiaohua's grandparents thought it was easy to support her by taking a low name. Kaohua was "beggar boy", which was originally just a nickname. Who knew that during the census in 1990, Zhang Jiaohua's parents were not at home, and the village party secretary Zhang Dechun directly turned Zhang Jiaohua's nickname into a daimyo. People in the countryside were not so pretentious about names, and they filled in their household registration book, and they didn't have the intention to change their names. Zhang Jiaohua became Zhang Jiaohua's daimyo.
Originally, when Zhang Jiaohua was young, there was no difference between him and ordinary rural kids. She ate and ate, acted coquettishly with her parents, fought with her grandparents, and scolded her little kids in the village, and stole a dime from her parents to buy a popsicle. Zhang Jiujin's vines specialized in pinching soft grape grains to eat, and went to the mountains to dig a bird's nest... It was the same, nothing special. But when Zhang Jiaohua was six years old, he experienced a different thing, which completely changed his life trajectory.
Children from poor families are early in their homes, while children from Meiziao have learned to help their parents with housework and farm work since childhood. Zhang Yaohua is no exception. At the age of five, he is responsible for cooking, sweeping the floor, pulling pig grass, picking firewood, and herding cattle at home. It is not that Zhang Yaohua is sensible, but that as long as the children in Meiziao Village are not stupid or stupid, they will have to do things at this time.
When grazing cattle, they would go up the mountain early in the morning, put it for an hour or two, and go home for breakfast. They set off at four or five in the afternoon and only come back when it was dark. Cattle were the most precious animals in the countryside. At that time, a family could not afford a cow. Several families would raise a cow together. A cow had to serve more than ten or twenty acres of land. If the cow had to work, they had to let the cows fill them.
Of course, for the little kids in Meiziao, the time to herd cattle may be a wonderful time worth savoring for their whole life. Because when she grazing cattle, as long as the cow is driven to the mountain, the little kids can play unscrupulously. Of course, accidentally, the cow ran down from the mountain and ate a large piece of other people's seedlings. If they didn't escape, they would definitely chase them home and ask for compensation. There is always a meal to be beaten. But when the scar is healed, the little kids who forget to have the pain. The next day, the little kids who are full of blood will do their own things again.
In summer, it is the most pleasant time for cowherds. Although when they go out, their parents advise you not to go to the pond to take a bath. However, when you go to the mountains, the little kids are just a grandson who can make a fortune.
The few little brats who often herd cattle with Zhang beggar are from a family of the same group and surname. However, although they are the same age, they are not from the same generation. In Meiziao, adults often call them uncle.
Gouwa is the sixth among the top generation, and the rest of them have to call him Uncle Eighteen. Jinhu is Fugui, Xiaoshuan, and Mancang is the same generation as Zhang Beihua.
The Golden Tiger is the largest in the middle, two years older than Zhang Beghua. When the accident happened, he was eight years old and only entered the first grade. Mancang was the youngest, one year younger than Zhang Beghua. Fugui was one year older than Zhang Beghua. Xiaoshuan, and Dogwa was as big as Zhang Beghua.
The day when the accident happened was Jinhu on summer vacation. On the 7th day of the lunar calendar, it was only a few days before Zhang Yinghua’s birthday.
During that period, I don’t know what happened, but Zhang Yaohua was particularly sleepy every day and yawned everywhere she went.
On the afternoon of the accident, when he arrived in the mountains, Zhang Yaohua couldn't even lift his eyelids. He found a shade of trees and fell asleep on the grass.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Zhang Jinhu ran over and kept pushing Zhang beggar.
"Beat, beggar, get up soon! Beggar, beggar, get up quickly!"
Zhang Yaohua couldn't open her eyes, and she moved her body and fell asleep again.
Zhang Fugui also ran over and pushed Zhang hard to beg.
"Beggar, beggar, get up quickly and go take a shower with us."
This time, Zhang Yaohua responded, "Okay." But his body moved for a while, and he lay down and fell asleep again.
Then the other five children all ran over and kept shouting.
"Call in, get up!"
"Beg for flowers, come with us to go fishing in the pond."
"Beggar, go quickly."
...
Zhang Yaohua couldn't open her eyes, he didn't know why he was so sleepy. He could hear the voices of several friends very clearly, and he could even feel their movements, but he could not open his eyes no matter what.
Zhang Yaohua was finally woken up by his father Zhang Youping.
As soon as Zhang Youping came over, he lifted Zhang Yaohua to his thigh and slapped Zhang Yaohua's butt with a crackling sound.
Zhang Yaohua was in great pain and woke up. When she saw Zhang Youping, she knew that she had caused trouble. He thought the buffalo he was watching was eating other people's grain.
"Dad. I will never go to bed when sheds cattle again. Mom, come and help me. I can't help but go to bed." Zhang Yaohua cried. He didn't know what was going on.
Zhang's beggar girl Liu Qiaoye immediately showed her amazing toughness like the old hen who protected her cubs, "My cubs did nothing wrong, why did you beat him?"
"Go out to herd cattle together, Jinhu and the others are gone. Why can you speak when you let me see their parents?" Zhang Youping said in pain.
"This is an accident. It's not the fault of beggars." Liu Qiaoye's voice fell a lot.
"Mom. What's wrong with Jinhu and the others?" Zhang Yaohua asked inexplicably. He only remembered that the five of them kept calling him to take a shower, but he just couldn't open his eyes. If he hadn't been so sleepy, he would have to go fishing in the pond.
"The Jinhu and the others have all drowned. It's dark, and you haven't gone home. After a break of work, we all came out to find the cows. They were all in the fish pond. Their clothes were placed on the shore. After touching them for a long time, they had already been stiff. If we hadn't seen your clothes not there, we would have known that we would come here to find you!" Liu Qiaoye couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this.
"Jinhu and the others are not dead! They are here. Jinhu, why don't you talk?" Zhang Yaohua's words made Zhang Youping and his wife sweat coldly.
