The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

1960, May, China.

Hexi Province, Danyang City.

Liu County, Ningjia Village Brigade.

This was a time of famine and great drought.

Food shortages have been occurring across the country since last year.

After a year of famine, all the leaves, roots and bark of the trees in the Ningjia Village Production Brigade were stripped off.

As soon as a few wild vegetable seedlings grew at the foot of the mountain, they were immediately picked and eaten.

These days, only what you eat is real.

The children in the Ningjia Village Brigade were so hungry that their heads were big and their bodies were small. When they smiled, the flesh on their faces barely moved.

Their bodies were still trembling slightly as they searched everywhere with baskets in hand.

Most of these children who were gathering food worked in groups of several.

If you are weak, it is easy for others to snatch your food away.

Several grandchildren of Ning Cungen, the team leader of Ningjia Village, were also collecting food here.

Compared with the children in the village, they are not much better.

To make matters worse, their aunt got pregnant last year.

Due to lack of nutritional supplements, they often go hungry.

A pregnant woman has thin limbs and can only lie in bed every day to take care of her baby.

She is now more than nine months pregnant and doesn't know whether she can give birth to the baby in her belly.

People in the village can’t even support themselves now, and no one dares to get pregnant at this time.

Last year, many pregnant women lost their babies because they had nothing to eat, and some even died of starvation.

The only one who was still pregnant at this time was Ning Cungen's daughter-in-law.

Ning Cungen and Zhang Cuihua had four sons and two daughters in total.

The eldest son Ning Jiandong, the second son Ning Jiannan, and the third son Ning Jianxi are all honest and capable people. They married and had children early.

The youngest son, Ning Jianbei, got married later. He had high standards and fell in love with Zhao Chuntao, the village beauty from Taohua Village next door. With her pretty face, tall stature and sweet mouth, he coaxed this beauty into his home.

It was a pity that they had been married for five years but had no children. The eldest and second sons, Ning Jiandong and Ning Jiannan, each had a son and a daughter, and even the third son, Ning Jianxi, had two daughters.

But the youngest son and his wife have not made any move. As the saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man. The three older sons are all honest and simple, and they are also big and strong.

The youngest son was born with a very fair complexion, and he was always sweet-mouthed and able to coax people. He was the lifeblood of the old man and the old lady.

Although he was a little lazy and unwilling to work in the fields after growing up, he was good at trapping cages. He could often get some wild animals down from the mountains, so that our family could eat some meat from time to time.

He was also a good coaxer, and the other three wives in the family would not gossip about him because they had meat to eat. So life went on like this.

But what worries the old man and the old lady is that their youngest son and his wife have never given birth. Without an heir, their youngest son won’t even have anyone to take care of him in his old age.

What should they do? For the sake of their youngest son, Ning Cungen and his wife had their eyes on the first and second sons. It would be nice if one of them could provide for their youngest son in his old age.

If the eldest and second sons had another son, they might have let one of their grandsons be adopted by the fourth son. As for the third son, they thought that since they had two granddaughters, one of them could also be adopted as a son-in-law.

It was better than the fourth child who had no sons or daughters. Just when they were thinking about this, the famine year came.

At the beginning of last year, everyone was able to hold on for a while, but in the second half of the year, things started to get a bit tricky.

But at this time, the fourth son's wife became pregnant.

The arrival of this child did not surprise everyone, but instead made everyone scratch their heads in worry.

But I can't just abort the child I've waited for five years.

Ning Jianbei looked at his pregnant wife Zhao Chuntao and said that this child came at a really bad time.

But no matter what, I still have to raise my wife and children.

Zhao Chuntao and Ning Jianbei also suffered a lot of gossip in the past five years because they had not had children.

Especially as a woman, Zhao Chuntao, who was originally a hot-tempered person, began to doubt whether she was really infertile.

After the child was conceived, the couple finally stood up straighter.

Zhao Chuntao and Ning Jianbei were also looking forward to the birth of this child, but they were also worried about not having enough food to feed the child.

It was a year of famine, so even Ning Jianbei, who had some hunting skills, didn't get much.

So later he followed his brothers to farm, but not much food could be grown in the dry land.

Not to mention now, every household grows some sweet potatoes.

Since no crops can grow in the drought-stricken land, and we cannot grow crops, the food at home is also being consumed bit by bit.

They could only use their family savings to buy expensive food on the black market. As for those who had no money, they could only rummage around to see if there was anything to eat.

Now everyone has no energy to move, and when they have nothing to do, they just lie down at home and sleep. At least they won't be hungry when they sleep. Food and water are in short supply, and if it doesn't rain, people will probably die.

Under such circumstances, Ning Zhixu traveled through time and space to the fetus in the belly of Ning Cungen's daughter-in-law. The child in the belly should have been the long-awaited child of Ning Jianbei and his wife.

However, because he was born during a time of famine, Zhao Chuntao suffered when she gave birth to him. She passed away a year later, leaving only Ning Jianbei and his son to survive.

Ning Jianbei and Zhao Chuntao were a loving couple. After Zhao Chuntao left, the once humorous Ning Jianbei became a taciturn man who only knew how to farm and raise children.

Because the child was born in the famine era and lost his mother early, he was weak and sickly since childhood and looked like he would not live long. Fearing that he would not be able to raise the child, Ning Jianbei gave the child a big name, Ning Changshou.

But Ning Changshou only lived for 19 years. He died while trying to save a female educated youth during a landslide. Ning Jianbei lost his wife and the son he raised, and he had no more thoughts.

He felt that living on was meaningless and it was better to reunite with his family. He simply chose to go with his son to meet his wife. Ning Jianbei's family was gone just like that.

This small world revolves around an educated youth named Zhang Qingqing as the heroine, and another educated youth named He Chunian.

Ning Changshou's role in the film is just a male cannon fodder who saves the female supporting role. Ning Changshou was born in a miserable life and died young. He made a wish to the system space with the merit of saving people, hoping that his family could have a good end.

Before entering the body of the mission target, Ning Zhixu chose a golden finger of luck.

In this barren era, with Zhao Chuntao about to die in a year, this koi luck is a very necessary plug-in. During this period of time, he is just a baby and can't do anything.

But this koi luck can bless the people around him and trigger good luck. Ningjia Village Brigade is surrounded by mountains, so there is no need to worry about not having good things. This koi luck is very useful. As long as he is born, the environmental problems here can also be solved.
