Chapter 47 A sad story
Shanghe Village is no smaller than Xiahe Village, with more than a hundred households in one village!

Moreover, these more than 100 households are from the same clan. If you look up, they all come from the same ancestor. They have existed in this area for hundreds of years, which is not comparable to the village that was later formed, Xiahe Village.

Shanghe Village faces the river on one side and terraces on three sides. It has an excellent geographical location. There are thousands of acres of terraced fields surrounding the village, all of which belong to Shanghe Village.

In other words, for more than 100 households, if divided evenly, one household would have dozens or even hundreds of acres of farmland.

Therefore, when you look at the entire Shanghe Village, you can see that they are all blue brick and tile houses, which look grand and substantial.

A large square house located in the center of the village near the river bank is where Fan's school is located.

Not far from the school, there was a large courtyard consisting of seven or eight rooms. At this moment, a woman wearing a green cotton dress and carrying a basket opened the door, entered the courtyard, and first headed towards the most sunny room in the east wing. Go.

The door to the room was closed. She approached, knocked on the door first, and shouted: "Jin'er."

After a moment, the door of the house opened from the inside, and a slender figure came out. The sun shone down, revealing a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old. The boy looked upright and handsome, but his face was pale and there were some black and blue under his eye sockets. He looked like a sick person. state.

When Mrs. Lu saw her son, she asked with concern, "How do you feel about Jin'er today? What do you want to eat for lunch? Can Mom cook it for you?"

The young man pursed his lips, shook his head, and did not respond.

Mrs. Lu seemed to have gotten used to her son's reticence, so she took out the oil paper bag from the basket, "Mom, I saw someone selling candy at the market today. I have never seen it before. They said it was fructose made from oranges and it tasted very sweet. I bought a pack for you and you can eat it and see if you like it."

The young man reached out and took it, but still said nothing.

Mrs. Lu had already said: "You go back to the house and rest first, while mother goes to cook."

After that, he turned around and headed to the kitchen.

When the young man saw her leaving, he closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, the boy who looked emotionless before rubbed his face and made a face, then took a few steps back to the bed and threw himself on the bed.

The hard bed board made him grin, and he couldn't help but beat the pillow and sigh.

I think of him as a golden bachelor in the 21st century. He needs to have a good figure, three eight-pack abs, good looks, and a 360-degree selfie with no blind spots.

I just went crazy because I listened to my friend’s nonsense and went to climb Mount Taishan at night, but I was so unlucky that I encountered bad weather, thunderstorms, and strong winds, and I was trapped on the top of the mountain. And then, I didn’t When he was rescued, he was struck by lightning first!
Don’t you dare think about being struck by lightning! Could it be that he did too many immoral things in his previous life?
How could it be a bad idea to die? He was struck to death by lightning!
He thought he was going to die so he could see the scenery of the underworld, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he lay on this bed and received the memory of this body.

The original owner had the same name as him, surnamed Fan and Jin. He was nearly two rounds younger than him. He was as young as a green onion and so tender that he was still sprouting.

It's true that the sprouts look like bean sprouts. Not to mention thin arms and legs, the bones in the body are not strong at all. The cause of death is death from illness!
One can imagine how desperate he was after receiving such a body!
Give him back his eight-pack abs and biceps! Plus he's 1.83 meters tall!

He wanted to starve himself to death. He had already died of illness anyway. With his small body, he would die quickly if he was hungry. But when he really failed to live up to expectations and couldn't stand the hunger, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy, dizzy, and his mouth was full of bitterness. , and I can't control my mouth and can't help but eat. No, it's been here for almost a month, and I haven't died yet.

Alas, what a sad story.

He decided to try his best. He had not eaten for almost two days again. If he could just endure it a little longer, he would die soon.

——With the momentum of such a good start, it is natural to continue to work hard.

In the afternoon, Li Jihe took his two sons and carried a load to Tianbao Village next door.

There is a family in Tianbao Village who has planted more than a dozen orange trees of different varieties. Li Jihe met this family selling oranges in Huangkou Town today and made an agreement with them to pick them at home in the afternoon. If you buy a lot, you will be given a discount of one penny or two cents or a catty!
When I arrived at Tianbao Village, I asked about the family named Lin. Seeing that Li Jihe had brought people to buy oranges, the man also warmly greeted the father and son to drink water, took a rest, and then took them with him. Go to your fruit tree patch.

When they arrived at the Lin family's fruit tree plot, Li Jihe and the other three were dazzled by the trees. These fruit trees were bearing so well! Each one looks different.

Then Lin Laosan asked Li Jihe which kind he wanted to buy. Li Jihe thought about what his daughter said, as long as it was orange, it didn't matter which kind, just buy some. It would be better to make more flavors.

Then he said: "The same thing weighs thirty kilograms!"

After hearing this, Lin Laosan immediately shouted to his son to get up the tree.

It was a lot of work, there were four kinds in total, each picked thirty kilograms, and the total was one hundred and twenty kilograms. Lin Laosan was also kind and agreed to get the cheap one, which was really cheap. He only charged them four cents per kilogram. One article less than in the collection.

But even so, these 120 kilograms of oranges cost nearly five yuan of silver. Li Jihe was so distressed that his heart trembled. The father and son carried the oranges back to the village. They were very careful on the way, for fear of being burdened by the burden. The orange inside was picked over and smashed.

They carefully returned to Xiahe Village, walking along the path along the Qinghe River. They didn't meet any villagers along the way, and they returned to their new home smoothly. Li Jihe also breathed a sigh of relief.

If you meet someone from the village, an acquaintance or a member of the clan, carrying oranges, should you catch them a few or not? It doesn't look like it if I don't catch him, but he feels a little distressed if I catch him!
Fortunately, I haven't encountered it, so I don't have to worry about it. It's pretty good.

Pomegranate looked at the four kinds of oranges she had picked out. One was the kind of tangerine she bought at the market, another was called navel orange in future generations, another was called kumquat in future generations, and another was blood orange.

This made her so happy! Especially blood oranges. The flesh of these oranges is as red as blood, and the juice is used to make sugar. The color is red, so pretty!

She felt that thirty pounds of blood oranges was not enough. So he hurriedly asked Li Jihe to make another trip to Tianbao Village and bought another thirty kilograms.

The family was busy peeling oranges, squeezing juice, and making candies until late at night. They made a batch of candies before resting.

The new house has not yet been hit by fire, and there is no furniture, but it does not affect sleeping. Shiliu and the others have already moved the bedding that they slept in from the old house. The family divides men and women into sleeping in a crowded room, with thick paving on the floor. The thick thatched mats were a bit cold, but they were manageable.

After a day of exhaustion, Pomegranate fell into sleep. At this point, no one in the ten miles and eight villages was still awake.

Of course, there is one exception.

In Shanghe Village, in the dead of night, Fan Jin was lying on the bed so hungry that his heart was scratching his lungs. There were circles of mosquito coils in his eyes, and he couldn't spend enough money.

The feeling of starvation is really uncomfortable. He has been hungry since he was a child, so it is already worse than death if he doesn't eat.

He could clearly hear his heartbeat speeding up, and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if someone was strangulating his neck hard, and he was about to suffocate at the sight of it——

Not anymore!
Fan Jin suddenly turned over and sat up. He was so hungry, he wanted to eat!
