The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 33 0033, Poor Born Cowherd
Zhujiazhuang is a small village surrounded by mountains on three sides.People in this village have lived by raising cattle for generations, and most of them will pass down the old cattle in the family as family property.

Zhu Ganglie's family lives in the west of the village, and next to his house is the biggest puddle in the village.Because it doesn't cost money to build a house here, so when his father married his mother, he chose this address.Zhu Ganglie is the best swimmer in the whole village, even adults can't compare to him.

Good water quality is actually not very useful, after all, they raise cattle, not horses.Zhu Ganglie was born with a fat head and big ears, but in fact he didn't eat much.

Every time a calf was sold at home, his father would bring back some delicious food from the market.Every time his father would give things to his mother first, and then his mother would distribute them to them.Every time my mother would say that she didn't like to eat those things, and then divided them into two and gave them to Zhu Ganglie and his father.

Children from poor families are already in charge of the family. Zhu Ganglie was already sensible when he was five years old.He knew that his mother loved him dearly, that's why he left the delicious food to him.Dad is the pillar of the family, how can he have the strength to work if he is not full.Every time Zhu Ganglie went to the back mountain to herd cattle, he would find a way to pick some wild fruits.

There is a private school in the town, but the family cannot afford the tuition.Zhu Ganglie went to the medical clinic in the town and exchanged odd jobs for a chance to learn knowledge.He just wanted to distinguish which wild fruits could be eaten and which ones could not, and he learned them all after only two months in the medical center.

Zhu Ganglie likes to read books, especially various medical books.He has no money to buy it, but he can rent it from the bookstall owner.At that time, there was no such thing as renting books at book stalls, and Zhu Ganglie was the first to eat crabs.Not only did he rent a whole set of medical books from the bookstall, but he also took notes while reading those books.

Zhu Ganglie likes to sing the most, because it is often ridiculed by his friends.But they laughed at them, which did not affect Zhu Ganglie's persistence in his hobbies.No one in the village liked to hear him sing, so he sang to the flowers and trees on the mountain while grazing cattle.He can also sing to the old cow, only the old cow will not dislike his bad singing.

When he was six years old, Zhu Ganglie followed his mother to visit his grandfather's house.The door was blocked by two uncles who refused to give way.In the end, it was Zhu Ganglie's grandmother who came forward and told the truth.Zhu Ganglie's grandfather fell ill from anger, and the person who angered him was the well-known cattle king in the village.

Their family has lived by raising cattle for generations, and Zhu Ganglie's grandfather has brought his cattle raising skills to the extreme.From the first two or three heads to the later twenty or thirty heads, and then to the current two or three hundred heads.Many things in the bullpen were designed by Zhu Ganglie's grandfather, and it is also the place he is most proud of.

However, his most beloved daughter married a cowherd in the countryside.That guy only raised a dozen or so cows, which was quite a lot in their village, but it wasn't worth mentioning in his eyes.

Zhu Ganglie's grandfather has always looked down on his son-in-law, so he is not allowed to visit his house during the holidays.Back when there was no Zhu Ganglie, Zhu Ganglie's mother would go back to her natal home alone during festivals.At that time, her father seldom smiled at her until Zhu Ganglie was left.

Zhu Ganglie is born with a blessed face, with a fat head, big ears, and a round face. If he doesn't do business, he must be an official.Grandpa wants to take Zhu Ganglie to his family to raise him, and then let his daughter live with her natal family.But Zhu Ganglie's father disagreed and insisted on letting Zhu Ganglie stay at home in the country.Because the matter was so tense, Zhu Ganglie's grandfather ignored his father for several years.

No, my grandfather met Zhu Ganglie's father at the market today, and ordered someone to ask him when he would let Zhu Ganglie go to a private school.The father's answer is very simple, the family has no money to send their son to school now.Wait until you have saved enough money in the future, and grandpa will be very angry when you hear this.

Mother brought Zhu Ganglie to meet grandfather, a stubborn little old man.Seeing her daughter still couldn't swallow that breath, but seeing her grandson's anger has mostly dissipated.

He is not blindly pampering his grandson, but he is feeling guilty for the wrong decision back then.That wrong decision brought wrong consequences, and the person who should least bear the consequences is Zhu Ganglie.

At the beginning, many people came to the house to propose marriage, but my grandfather never let go.The daughters of other people's families are all father's intimate little padded jackets, while the daughters of other families are father's thick down jackets.This child has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and many female celebrities are self-taught without teaching.I follow the little old man every day, and I like to take her with me wherever I go.

At that time, there were two young people who caught the little old man's eyes, one was a young man who served as a soldier in the county town.In his early twenties, he has already fought in the battlefield for five years.He is a young man who is good at fighting, and he is also a child with a strong sense of justice.Every time I come to their house, I bring special products from other places. During that time, the little old man never missed a good meal.

There is another one, the young master of the county bank.Their family has a very strict family style, and every male in the family must go out for training between the ages of eight and 16.The family is not allowed to give any help, and if he dies outside, it can only be regarded as his fate.But once they return from all their experiences, they will become the pillars of the family.

This kid is even more difficult. When he was six years old, he left home to go out to practice.From the age of six to the present, he stayed outside for a total of 12 years, and then returned to his hometown as an investor.He negotiated with the current patriarch of the family on his own behalf, and earned a considerable family business from scratch in 12 years.

It's a pity that the little old man's daughter didn't like them at that time.In other words, he didn't have feelings for them, but he fell in love with the cowherd who often came to the house to do part-time work.

That guy looks dark and not autumnal, and it looks like it's caused by the wind and sun all year round.That guy can endure hardships more than other workers, and he never cares about the steward giving him one or two copper coins less.The more this happened, the more it attracted my daughter's attention, and later on I became acquainted with the cowherd.

At noon that day, the little old man will always remember what happened at noon that day.The cowherd sent the cattle back to the mansion, wearing a big red robe.The little old man almost exploded his lungs when he saw that robe. It was a good thing he bought from the capital for a lot of money. He makes love.

How can a cowherd who is dark and dark be worthy of his daughter.The little old man disagreed with this marriage and drove the cowherd out.Let people watch that her daughter is not allowed to go out, and then arrange more blind dates for her to choose.

This situation lasted for a full eight months, and the little old man went to his daughter's boudoir in disbelief.The eight-month-old daughter suffered a full fifteen catties, and the little old man who loved his daughter panicked.Promise that as long as the girl doesn't hurt herself like this again, she will agree to any conditions she asks.

Later, the girl got married, but she refused to take every needle and thread from her natal family.She said that was the husband she had chosen, and she would live a hard life with him in the future.Later, the little old man also accepted it. Although he sent people to send things to his daughter every now and then, they would be returned intact every time.

Two sons and a daughter, the little old man's stubborn temper was inherited by the daughter alone.Of course, the reason why the little old man agreed to this marriage was not only because of his daughter's hunger strike.The more important reason is the character of the cowherd. He worked in their family to see a doctor for his mother.

Fang Cowherd never mentioned this kind of thing, and the little old man only found out after asking someone to inquire about it.The cowherd saw a doctor for his mother, and most of his income came from working part-time at the little old man's house.Although the housekeeper of the little old man's house occasionally withheld a few copper coins, overall their house was considered relatively good.

It is good for the workers, the food is good, and more importantly, the money is paid on the same day.Fang Niulang has always insisted on seeing his mother's doctor, and he has to work eight or nine hours almost every day.He fell asleep within a minute after returning home, and went out to work to earn money before dawn.He didn't save a penny in those years, and he couldn't keep his mother in the end.

Zhu Ganglie dragged his cheeks and listened quietly. Grandma hugged Zhu Ganglie into her arms at this point.The little old man has been blaming himself all these years, blaming himself for looking down on the cowherd.It caused a lot of shadow in his heart, so that now he likes to fight against the little old man the most.Whatever the little old man wanted him to do, he would not.

The little old man is getting old, and his body functions can't keep up when he gets angry.It's not bad if you don't vomit blood from the anger, and the anger in your heart is gone after seeing your daughter and grandson.He hoped that his daughter would persuade the cowherd to let go of the cowherd after she went back, and she should go home to live in the future.Let Zhu Ganglie go to a private school, and he can be a promising scholar in the future.

Zhu Ganglie's mother can accept these words, and is willing to go back and discuss with the husband.But the result may not be what it is. After all, the little old man mocked him in front of so many people. This incident has always been a hurdle in his heart.

Back in his courtyard, Zhu Ganglie went back to his room, and could faintly hear his mother and father talking.He is six and a half years old, and he understands many truths even if the adults don't tell him.He has read many books over the years and understands one of the most common truths and facts.It is easy for a prince to become a frog, but difficult for a frog to become a prince.

He wants to study and also wants to live with his grandfather.But he won't go because he knows his daddy well.Just like he knows his mother, mother is a kind woman, so she will not just watch grandpa get angry and ignore him.Although my grandfather said the same thing to my mother back then, there would be a daughter who was really angry with her father.

"Father, mother."

Hearing the voices next door getting louder, Zhu Ganglie walked into his parents' room.The couple stared blankly at their son, with bright smiles on their faces.Zhu Ganglie's father was an honest man, and he would never compete with others for anything.If it wasn't for these, Zhu Ganglie's mother would not have married him.

But there is a saying that goes well, a dog jumps over a wall when it is in a hurry, and a rabbit bites a person when it is in a hurry.Back then, the little old man was a bit ruthless when he blamed him, and he brought his parents along when he said those words.The cowherd was raised by his mother alone, and his mother is more important than his life to him.

Although he married the little old man's daughter, although he became the little old man's son-in-law.But he kept holding his breath in his heart, and it was enough not to vent his anger on the little old man.If he was allowed to live in the little old man's house, he would rather live alone by the stinking puddle.Although the food and accommodation conditions are simple, but I feel comfortable.

Zhu Ganglie's words stopped the two from discussing the topic just now. Since their son chose not to live with his grandfather, their parents could only express their support.
