Songshan Village has a simple population, and it is the smallest village with the smallest population inside and outside the radius.
There was no Songshan Village a hundred years ago. This place was just a mountain col with overgrown grass.
When there was a flood in the south a hundred years ago, the victims who fled here were resettled on the spot, and only twenty-five families were left here to form a village.
Up to now, it has only been developed for four generations at most, and everyone can sort it out at a glance.
As for the twenty-five households, one Li Dachui left, and there were only twenty-four households left.
Among them, the household with the largest population is Zhang Laodou's family, but his family only has no more than ten people living in the village, so Liu Laomeng's family has the larger population.
To say that those who live the most prosperous life are of course the village chief’s family.
The village chief's grandfather was a well-to-do family in the clan area. He was smart enough to escape from floods and had some money with him, so he was elected as the village chief as soon as he settled down.
Relying on this little family fortune and the embroidery skills passed down by the village chief's grandmother, the family has a simple life, so of course they can live a prosperous life.
In addition, there are the Meifu family who make a living by raising chickens, the Wang Orion family who make a living by hunting, the Wujin family who specializes in pulling goods from the town's wharf, the Yungui family who make a living by collecting firewood, and the Sun Dati family who inherits the bamboo craftsmanship.
Liu Caigui's family has some carpentry skills, Wang Butcher's family specializes in butchering pigs, and Huang Dashao's family is the most popular host in Fangyuan Village.
Etc., etc.
None of them have any fields, and they all depend on the mountains.
Songshan, which has been with me for many years, is the place where people from Songshan Village go most often. There are footprints of each of them on the mountain.
As for familiarity, no one is more familiar with Songshan than the people of Songshan Village.
The place where they grew up, the place where they would only fall if they climbed the mountain with their eyes closed, but would never get lost.
This is also something everyone in Shiliba Village knows about Songshan Village.
After all, there are so many villages, and none of them has no fields like them, but their life is not worse than that of some of their villages.
Therefore, this is also a good thing to inquire about.
In Baishui Town, less than twenty miles away from Songshan Village, there is an inconspicuous house in the east of the town.
backyard.
A man stood facing the old tree with his hands behind his back.
"Have you found out the identities of those men in black?"
"No, their skills are not the same. They probably weren't trained together. I'm really not sure who they are."
"What about that thing? Could it be that it disappeared out of thin air?"
"My subordinates are chasing me all the way. They have absolutely no chance or time to go elsewhere."
"Then the thing must be on that pine mountain?"
"Logically speaking, it's good. They were the ones who stole the things. They didn't come into contact with anyone else along the way. If the things didn't have time to move, they should be on one of them. Unfortunately, the subordinates searched them at that time and found nothing.
, and Tian Da and others returned to the mountain again and dug three feet but found nothing."
The man turned around, glanced at his subordinates behind him, and sneered, "How could that thing be able to fly in such a short period of time? Is there any reason why it couldn't be found even after digging three feet into the ground? Otherwise, it's still possible.
Cum?"
"ridiculous!"
"If you can't find it on the mountain, then look for someone for me. I heard that people from Songshan Village at the bottom of Songshan Mountain often go to the mountain. I wonder where it was missed and someone picked it up along the way?"
The subordinate listened and thought, "On the surface, that thing is just a piece of scrap copper, worthless. Who would pick it up?"
But in the end there was no objection and he agreed.
"Yes, my subordinate will personally take people to investigate!"
………
In the latter half of the afternoon, Song Qiu cut a bundle of firewood and dragged it back, so Shan Jun only picked up half of the basket, mixed with the morning's, washed it out, and it looked good, but it was only about half of the basket.
Therefore, there is no need to go to town, just go to Ping An Market to sell.
Old Yuan picked up some tender bitter melons, courgettes and loofahs. These melons were bearing fruit one after another, and they were almost too much to eat.
As for the long beans, they are already old and cannot be sold for money. Old Yuan is preparing to pick them and dry them into dried goods for future generations to eat in the winter.
Early in the morning, the grandfather and grandson went to the Daji with their backpacks, baskets and steel scales. On the way, they met Aunt Meifu and two women from the village, both of whom were going to the Daji to sell things.
Liu Caigui's daughter-in-law, Huang Caihua, was carrying a basket of mountain mushrooms, which weighed only three or four kilograms. When she saw the mushrooms in the basket on Old Yuan's back, she couldn't help but laugh, "Aqiu is a hard-working and capable girl. Look at the fragrance of our wood."
Yesterday, I went crazy with Cuifang and the others and picked up just this little for me. Now I am still asleep, unlike Ah Qiu, who knows how to follow me to sell vegetables."
There are all these parents in the village, as well as some grandparents, and life at home is not too difficult. There are few people who care about the children, and there are almost no preference for boys over girls.
Perhaps our ancestors all fled here, and everyone understands the importance of population. No matter what happens, there is no chance of survival. It is true that life is better than anything else.
What's more, Liu Caigui is a good carpenter, so he doesn't point to this.
Old Yuan also laughed when he heard this, "Caihua, don't be ridiculous, what's going on in our family? If Aqiu doesn't work harder, how will we survive?"
Huang Caihua said: "That's right, that's right. Children from poor families have long been in charge. Just seeing how capable Aqiu is, I always feel that the woody fragrance in my house cannot be seen. I have to blame my husband's family. I'm too lazy. Auntie,
Your Aqiu is a lucky one, so don’t worry."
Women always love to talk and talk and show off all the way, but they arrived at the big gathering without warning.
There is no need to pay stall fees at large markets, you can just find an empty spot to set up a stall by yourself.
There was no one next to each other, so a few people dispersed.
It has been a month since the mountain fungus came out, and it is no longer as popular as when it first came out. I have eaten almost everything I want to eat.
Scatteredly, after waiting for nearly half an hour, I only sold two or three kilograms of mountain mushrooms and a few loofahs.
Seeing the large gathering with many people, Lao Yuan couldn't help but whisper to Song Qiu: "It seems that this year's mountain fungus situation will also pass."
Song Qiu thought about the mushrooms on the mountain and there were still two months left to pick them up, so it would be difficult to sell them. Mr. Bai would make a lot of money.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
"I'll pick it up tomorrow and go to town to see it. If it's not easy to sell in town, I won't go to the mountains every day. Let's find another way to make a living."
Old Yuan listened. In previous years, Aqiu wasn't so good at picking up mountain mushrooms, and she didn't make a lot of money selling mushrooms. In fact, she was content this year.
What else can you do to make a living?
Isn’t it the same as in previous years?
Lao Yuan didn't want her granddaughter to press her down, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, I have to be busy. There are many women giving birth to babies around the middle of every year."
This is true. Throughout the year, most babies are born in summer.
Obviously confinement in summer is difficult, but there are always so many people who can't help but give birth to babies in summer.
There is no way.
Song Qiu suddenly covered his mouth and laughed after hearing this.
Old Yuan saw it strangely, "What's so funny about this? There are more babies born in these two months every year. I'm not lying. I just said that last year, I went to several stores for several days and couldn't do it." Home, have you forgotten?"
"There's no need to laugh. I'm still waiting for you to graduate and pass on this skill to you."
Although it was passed down from daughter-in-law rather than daughter-in-law, she also inherited it from her mother-in-law, but in this generation, there is only one Aqiu in the Song family.
There's nothing we can do about it, and my mother-in-law won't blame her.
