Zhang Er, as the name suggests, is two at home, he originally also had a large size, it is said that he specially invited the old Xiucai in the village to give it, for which the family also sent six eggs and five catties of millet, but from the day he was named, no one has ever called him by that awkward name, even if his parents are at home all day long is the "second son" to the "little two".

By the time Zhang Er grew up, the name of the country had changed from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and at that time, the warlords of various departments struggled to grab the territory, and most of China was in flames. Zhang Erjia's village is located in a remote mountainous area, the poor countryside written in the book, I am afraid that it refers to this kind of place, although the villagers are surrounded by walls, but the character is brave and stubborn, in the old days, even the bandits and bandits did not want to come to rob, to this kind of place mutton is absolutely not eaten, dyed with a fishy smell must not be able to hide.

When he was eighteen years old, Zhang Er's hometown suffered a natural disaster, and at that time, there was drought and little rain for two consecutive years, and the sweet potatoes he planted did not grow as big as a child's fist. Don't look at the bandits in this place who refuse to come, but they can't stop the tax collectors in the township, and all kinds of land taxes, grain taxes, poll taxes, water donations, tobacco donations, health donations, and so on are all indispensable.

Zhang Er has no landlord in his village, and this ghost place can't raise a high-dimensional creature like a landlord at all, and the wasteland reclaimed by each household is his own, and of course he also holds the title deed of the land in his hand, otherwise how can the tax collector have a reason to collect taxes. Most of the land deeds in the village were made during the Qing Dynasty, and the earliest one was in the Qianlong year, with a red seal in Manchu on half of the county yazhengtang. The old man who knows the goods knows that it is a white deed that is not glued to the end of the deed, and it was not kept in the political envoy at that time, which is a semi-public cat in the yamen of the Qing Dynasty, and the white deed does not belong to the official deed, so the taxes collected do not need to be handed over to the government, but are privately divided among the officials in the county government.

Zhang Er's family has six acres of water to irrigate the land, because his ancestors spent money to hire someone to dig a well, but by the time of Zhang Er's father's generation, the old well had been seriously silted up, and it was difficult to get water again. The irrigated land became a field of Wangtian, and after two years of drought and water shortage, nothing could grow in the field at that time.

Zhang Er's family usually doesn't have any savings, and when he sees it, he can only sit and eat empty, Zhang Er's father is a knowledgeable person, he thinks that it is not a way to survive like this, and the whole family will end up together.

At that time, the Zhang family had three generations of parents and grandchildren, and Zhang Er's generation had three sons and two daughters, and it was a standard peasant family. Zhang Er's eldest brother is the eldest son and strong laborer in the family, and he must not leave home, the junior has just learned to walk, and the two girls are underage, so the "heavy responsibility" of going out of the mountain to find another way to survive falls on Zhang Er's shoulders.

When the young guy is growing up, he usually lacks oil and salt in the dishes, of course, he will eat more than others, and the burden of rations at home will be at least 30% for Zhang Eryi.

Zhang Er is a filial person, and since the old people have decided, he has no complaints. So the next day, he took a cloth bag containing a change of clothes and two fiat coins and left the small mountain village where he had raised himself for 18 years. Young Zhang Er would not have thought that he would be gone for decades, and when he returned to this small village, he would already be at the age of gray temples.

Zhang Er only heard people talk about the world of flowers outside the mountain, this is the first time in his life to travel away from home, a completely pure soil bun. According to what the family had agreed at the beginning, he was going to go to the county town first to see if he could find a job. He doesn't care about hardships and suffering, people in the mountains have the strength to handle them, and he is not afraid of being bullied, Zhang Er has practiced a good crop handle since he was a child, and the family heirloom iron mountain leans on, and he can break the thick jujube wood bar at the mouth of the bowl.

The poor countryside is not fake, Zhang Er walked for almost a whole day, and slept in a half-collapsed mountain temple, and at noon the next day, he had just set foot on the official road to the county seat. After inquiring with the passing merchants, there were still more than ten miles away from the county seat, but when he saw the city wall, the moon had already hung on the willows.

The city gate of the county town has been closed at this time, don't think that the city gate will not be closed during the Republic of China, there are still bandits attacking the city in those years. Zhang Er had nowhere else to go, and when he saw the door of the backyard of a hotel outside the city gate open, he spent the night in the haystack of the backyard stable. But the next day it was still dark, and he was discovered by the men who got up to feed the mules.

Zhang Er encountered the first crisis in his life, and it was also the biggest opportunity in his life.

Since the local bandits have not yet been calmed down, the county has posted a notice that all itinerants must have an identity certificate issued by the government, but Zhang Er, a child in the mountains, where does he know this, and the people in the village seem to have forgotten to explain these things. So Zhang Er was treated as an eyeliner sent by the bandits by the guys in the store, and Zhang Er was also the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and as a result, he reflexively wanted to escape, but after all, this is the home of people, and the kind of heroes who fight ten with their bare hands only exist in those martial arts movies, and soon Zhang Er was tripped and knocked to the ground by several guys in the store, tied up like a hairy crab in front of the cage drawer.

Just when everyone was discussing to send him to the county police station, Zhang Er's first noble person appeared, and the riot in the backyard alarmed the chef in charge of the hotel, and the uncle happened to be idle, so he sneaked to the backyard to see the excitement. I don't know what's wrong, this master surnamed Liu was stunned and met Zhang Er's eyes.

So the master stopped the excited hotel guys, and then carefully interrogated Zhang Er, the honest children in the countryside have not been polluted by the world, and they explained their family background to the other party clearly. There are some things that should not be known to outsiders, but they do prove that it is a complete misunderstanding.

figured out that this was just a small dirt bun that had just come out of the mountains, so of course he had to release him immediately, but the chef didn't let Zhang Er leave, there are really not many honest young people like this these days, and he was also looking for a helper to help, so the chef asked Zhang Er if he was willing to stay and work, and the store could eat and live, and he could get two yuan a month.

Zhang Er didn't expect to be a blessing in disguise, and on the third day after leaving the village, he found his first job in life.
