Looking up at the stars in 1946

The beginning of August is the end of summer in North Manchuria, and the wheat is already yellow and golden.At this time, there are always one or two large or small dark clouds floating in the sky, and when the northwest wind blows, there will be a torrential rain, occasionally with a few thunder or lightning, which is really scary to watch.When there is a lot of rain, the roads tend to be muddy. Poor people have no good shoes to wear, so they often walk barefoot in order not to get muddy.

Han Yanpai was walking on the road carrying a crucian carp the size of a tail and a palm. The hardships of life caused wrinkles on his forehead, and his temples were much grayer. He was much older than his actual age.Han Yan's father, whose name is Han Qiran, was born in Shandong. He was a well-to-do family when he was young. His parents were small landlords with a small amount of land. Unfortunately, it was the turn of the old and new dynasties. Many farmers' families were ruined and displaced, and they fled northward one after another.At that time, Han Yan's father had already married Han Yanniang and gave birth to little Han Yan. Seeing that he couldn't stay in his hometown any longer, he had to sell the family's real estate, entrusted his relationship with him and bought a ferry ticket from Qingdao to Dalian. I traveled all the way to Songjiang Province, and then settled down in Yuanmao Village. Now 12 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time really is not forgiving. The oldest child, Han Yan, is 16 years old, and the youngest child is also six years old.

When it comes to his own children, Han Qiran is really gratified. He is not bragging. There is no one in Yuanmao Village who is better than his family's children. Needless to say, the eldest son Han Yan, whoever his mother is handsome, has a good mouth. Sweet and filial, and now he is able to support his family in the Anti-Japanese War. The second son, Han Ye, is 12 years old, and he is getting better every year. Now he is studying in the village primary school, and the teachers in the class praise him; the third daughter, Han Lu, is also a couple. He is only eight years old, and can already do some odd housework; the youngest son, Han Bin, is only six years old, but a child of the poor is already in charge of the family. At the beginning of the year, the family raised a beetle Han Bin took the initiative to mow the grass for Shellan without his parents' instructions.All in all, they are all reassuring.People who know Han Qiran most often say: "Old Han's family has raised some good children!"

Because of this, even though they have been tightening their belts all year round, the Han family is close and they live a smooth life.It's just that Han Yanniang's illness has fallen to the root of her illness since she gave birth to her youngest son, and her body has deteriorated a lot. In recent years, minor illnesses have continued, which makes people a little worried.But in today's world, where natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and wars are frequent, it would be nice if the family can stay together alive, so what else can we ask for?

In short, Han Qiran was very satisfied.Today when the eldest son came back from Suanqi's house, Han Qiran thought that something serious had happened.Later, I heard from my son that it turned out that Qi Siye's winery had started work in the county, and there was not enough manpower, so we had to pick people from the laborers in the compound to help. Han Yan was selected, and he would go there in two days, maybe I have to be busy until the Chinese New Year to come back.Han Qiran is not a farmer with dark eyes either, he naturally knows that it is better to go to the county to work than to stay in the Qi family compound to fight against the work, and he can gain more knowledge, so he also supports this matter.Thinking of his son becoming more and more promising, Han Qiran felt happy. He knew that Han Yan was a fish eater. Taking advantage of his son chatting with his mother, he hurried to the old Liu's house along the river in the north of the village to buy a crucian carp. Bring back.Along the way, I was thinking about whether to cook it in braised sauce or sweet and sour. I couldn't make up my mind until I got home, so I had to send the fish to Han Yanniang and let her figure it out.

It was a rare time for Han Yan to go home, and Han Qiran wanted to chat with him, so he called Han Yan out of the kitchen, and the father and son went for a walk together under the arbor in the yard.The scene of taking Han Yan to the Qijia compound last year is still vivid in my memory. At that time, Han Yan was starved and thin and small. Now, after staying in the Qijia compound for more than a year, the whole person is smoking He was a lot taller, and his body was also much stronger. Han Qiran was also happy when he saw it at first, but later when he heard Han Yan talk about the Qi family compound, he was indifferent, and there was no happy expression on his face. Unavoidably, I was also a little worried, and quickly asked Han Yan if he had been wronged.

Naturally, Han Yan didn't want his family to worry, so he just explained that the autumn harvest was coming recently, and the work in the fields was too much to bear.

Han Qiran was somewhat skeptical about Han Yan's statement, because he knew that his children could endure hardships and endure heavier and more tiring work, so how could they be depressed because of the autumn harvest?But the son didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it, so he could only tell him to go home if he couldn't stay in the Qi family compound, the family could still support him, and he must not wrong himself.

Han Yan's heart warmed when he heard it, and he quickly said yes, so that his father didn't have to worry.

After dinner, I chatted with my younger brothers and sisters as usual, talking about homely things, and specifically asked my second brother to study hard so that he can be successful in the future.When the three stars were high, Han Yan went out with a set of clothes his mother had made.

Yuanmaotun was quiet at night, there was no moon in the sky, and the surroundings were a bit terribly dark.Fortunately, the people in the village raised a lot of dogs, and they could hear a few dogs biting within a few steps, which added a lot of popularity to Han Yan. He also looked up at the bright Milky Way across the night sky.

The dots of stars are gorgeous and mysterious, seeming so close yet so far away.It's like someone I occasionally think of, who seems to be within reach, but is actually separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

After the Northern Expedition, the Nanjing Nationalist Government nominally unified the whole of China. Although Zhang Zuolin respected himself as a mercenary in the Northeast, he still had to give him the face he deserved.We also have to think about the various policies proposed by the government of the Republic of China.Therefore, not to mention remote areas, for big cities such as Harbin and Changchun, relying on local resources and foreign capital, whether it is ethnic or foreign, the momentum of economic development is not bad.What is intriguing is the attitude of Japan, an island country. In recent years, it has paid more and more attention to several provinces in the Northeast. In private, it has sent representatives again and again to cooperate with Zhang Zuolin's government. The two sides have reached many important agreements.

However, this is all at the macro level of the country, and its impact on Qisi, a remote landowner, is almost negligible.No matter what, the brewery he had been dreaming of was finally officially started. From the first batch of raw materials entering the factory to packing and sending out the first batch of sorghum wine, it took three months in between. Made a small fortune.Although the money was not much, it gave Qi Si a lot of confidence.Although he visited a lot of factories in Harbin and made preparations to look at them, he was still a little apprehensive when it came to the actual operation.It wasn't until the first profit was obtained that Qi Si's hanging heart was truly put back in his stomach.

Although he had already made up his mind to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, at least he had to have his own skills. This was related to the dignity of a man and the prestige of the Patriarch of the Qi family. Qi Si couldn't be careless.What's more, he is now the father of two children, so he should set an example by himself.

It has to be said that Qi Si has an inexplicable persistence in the role of father.Before and after the marriage, Qi Si lived a ridiculous life. Later, when his daughter was born, and holding the pink baby in his arms, Qi Si suddenly realized that he should calm down. Qi Si went back and forth several times, and finally decided to accept it after meeting Han Yan.Originally, based on Qi Si's temperament, if he fell in love with someone, he would want to tie a belt to his belt and take off his pants when he got excited, but at this juncture, his son was born. With a broken mouth, Qi Si didn't want to wait for his son to grow up to be told how his father was still licentious and fooling around with men after he was born.What's the difference between that and that old bastard Master Qi?

Qi Si has always claimed to be capable. This ability is first of all able to support a family, and secondly, his character must be decent. It is better to leave the government or those charitable organizations or underground parties to save sentient beings and do good deeds. Let's do it, he is a small food householder, it's good if he can avoid cheating and abducting, as for the others - let's not talk about it.

Banner Four's individualistic thinking cannot be summed up in the simple words "selfishness".First of all, his idea was not isolated, but widely existed in all social strata at that time, such as intellectuals, politicians, capitalists or just ordinary civilians. There will always be only a few, and the more artificial ones are still themselves.As the saying goes, everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and don't care about the frost on others' tiles.That's why in the past few decades, hundreds of millions of people in a great country have been bullied again and again.But Qi Si didn't know this kind of truth, because the "country" was too far away from him, farther away than Zhang Zuolin's government.At least Zhang Zuolin occasionally shows his face in the newspapers, showing his presence, but what is the Republic of China?Can I eat it?
