0018 Niu family father and son
The wheat harvest day is still far away, and the weather is not yet the hottest month, but the sun has already begun to become a bit fierce! The sun shines on those who are busy in the fields with their bare backs, causing a series of beads of sweat.
The wheat seedlings in the field have grown very high, but they are not growing very well. Some leaves look a little withered and yellow. This is obviously due to insufficient water. Since the beginning of spring, there have been few rains in the field. Also.
I don’t know what’s wrong with God. Are you so stingy about the little rain?
The man hoeing the ground straightened up, took off the straw hat on his head, and fanned himself vigorously. Only then could one see that the man with a strong body was already considered an old man in the Ming Dynasty. There were not many wrinkles on his face, but he was gray.
His hair shows his true age. There is a scar from his forehead along the bridge of his nose directly to the left side of his face that is very eye-catching!
The old man breathed hard for a few times and shouted: "Boss! Call the second and third children. Let's go home for dinner."
Not far away, a strong boy with a bare back stood up from the field and said yes, then walked to the side of the field. He also had two younger brothers over there.
The old man walked in the other direction with a hoe. He walked out of the field and sat on the edge of the field. He rubbed his feet together, and the soil fell from the soles of his feet. The old man frowned and looked at the falling soil and felt very sad.
Unhappy. Because the soil on his feet fell off as soon as he rubbed it. It was not as wet and sticky as in the early years. That kind of soil is the soil that should be in the field. Only when the moisture is sufficient can wheat grow.
Okay. But the soil on your feet is so dry that it falls off as soon as you rub it. This means that the surface of the land is dry.
The old man stared at the soil in a daze for a while, and then his three sons came over. The sound of footsteps woke up the old man. He put on his straw sandals, stood up, put his clothes on his shoulders, picked up his hoe, and headed towards the village.
As he walked, his three sons followed behind him, talking and laughing quietly.
This old man’s name was Niu Bajin. It is said that he weighed 8 kilograms when he was born, so he was named Bajin. When he was young, Niu Bajin didn’t want to farm in the village, so he went to the army behind his parents’ back. As a result, he was lucky.
Soon after joining the army, he caught up with the Battle of Bozhou, one of the three major campaigns in Wanli.
Niu Bajin had grown a good pair at that time
The body, Xiaoqi who led the team happened to be from the same hometown as him, so he thought highly of him and taught him a lot of skills to survive on the battlefield. Niu Bajin also lived up to expectations and fought bravely. Later, the war was almost over.
At that time, Niu Bajin was chasing a leader, and the leader bribed him with a belt studded with gold nuggets in order to let him live.
Niu Bajin had never seen such a large piece of gold! After a moment of confusion, the guy counterattacked and almost split his head open with a knife! Niu Bajin clenched his teeth and hacked the headman to death, covered the wound and returned
Military camp. He was a bit smart and hid the gold belt in a secret place outside the camp. Otherwise, it would be a death penalty if he was discovered when he entered the camp for inspection!
After the injury was healed, the war was almost over. Niu Bajin lied that the injury on his face affected his eyes, so Shangguan sent him a few taels of silver and sent him back to his hometown. Niu Bajin quietly took back his belt.
I dug out the gold nugget from the belt, cut it into several pieces and sold them separately. I had a sum of money and it was considered a return to my hometown in glory.
As a result, when I returned to my hometown, I found that my parents were very ill. If it weren't for the support of the villagers, they would have died! Niu Bajin immediately took out the money to ask a doctor to cure his parents' illness. He also used the remaining money to buy dozens of
acres of land, and finally settled down.
His parents were overjoyed to see their son come back and make a fortune again, and soon recovered from the illness. However, the serious illness ultimately damaged the foundation, and later the old couple passed away one after another. Fortunately, the old couple saw him before they died.
The birth of my eldest grandson is a relief.
The peaceful life passed for many years, but unfortunately, his wife contracted an illness and passed away a few years after giving birth to the third child. The four of them were left behind. Niu Bajin did not have a second marriage, and he took good care of the three children.
When they grew up, they passed on everything they learned in the military to their three sons.
That's it. There are three young men in the Niu family, plus Niu Bajin's family has four young men. This is a big power in the village! In addition, Niu Bajin himself was trained in the army and dared to speak and do things.
The villagers take good care of their parents and help out whenever the villagers have something to do. Therefore, they have great support from the villagers. Even the village chief will discuss it with him if something happens.
but conversely
, those who have been taught a lesson by Niu Bajin do not have this attitude!
Niu Bajin walked in front carrying a hoe, and his three sons followed behind, laughing and joking. Niu Bajin was thinking that the eldest son was already 18 and had grown into a big boy, so it was time to kiss him. He also knew that the eldest son seemed to be
There seems to be some acquaintance with the eldest girl from the Zhao family at the end of the village. It’s just that the Zhao family’s father Zhao is very demanding for betrothal gifts!
I have saved some money over the years, but not much! The second child is only two years older than the elder, and will soon reach the age of discussing marriage, so I should make some plans for him. If it doesn't work, just bite the bullet and make peace first.
The Zhao family is engaged. It's amazing that I can help the second and third children to do part-time jobs, and I can always earn back the bride price for the second child!
Niu Bajin was thinking wildly when he saw a person running hurriedly in front of him. Before Niu Bajin had time to take a closer look, the man had already run up to him, holding his arm and saying: "Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu! No, it's not good.
!Something big happened!”
Niu Bajin looked over and saw that it was Xiaozizi, a boy from the same village! He asked, "Xiaozizi, why are you so panicked? Is the sky falling?"
Xiao Xiaozi ran so fast that he was sweating and said panting: "Uncle Niu, Guo Laizi has returned to our village."
Niu Bajin snorted and said, "So what? Did you beat him lightly last time? If he causes trouble again this time, I'll beat him hard again."
This Guo Laizi was either someone else or a lazy guy from the same village who spent his days stealing chickens and dogs. There was also a girl who was not a serious person either. The brother and sister neither plowed the fields nor cultivated the land. People in the village disliked dogs. Later Guo Laizi
Lezi also joined some kind of gang in the county town! From time to time he took people to the village to show off his power, and he had conflicts with the villagers many times. As a result, he was taught a lesson by Niu Bajin's leaders several times. The most recent time was because he stole the village's sheep.
Niu Bajin drove him to the county town and gave him a beating. It is said that he lay in bed for more than half a month before he got up from the beating.
Xiaoxiaozi became even more anxious when he heard what Niu Bajin said, and said: "Uncle Niu, you don't know. Somehow this bitch got acquainted with the new chief bookkeeper in the county and married the girl to the chief bookkeeper.
