"Child, if someone asks you what your surname is, after you return to your surname Zhu, you must say that it is Zhu with the character "Shi" on the left. Remember, otherwise our whole family will suffer." This is the advice of his father Zhu Shitou, and he has said it many times in his memory.

"Only the Emperor Long Live and his relatives can have the surname Zhu. Others with the surname Zhu can only use the word "Zhu", otherwise it would be very disrespectful. But now there are a few people who recognize the characters, and no one cares about them at all." This is what a scholar passing by Baibao Village said.

After thinking of these two places, Zhu Da's fantasy about his surname was shattered. He originally thought that his family was a royal family member, but because of some secret matters, he could be prosperous and prosperous, and live a good life. It was also a legendary excitement. However, those things only exist in the commentary of the opera. His family was just a military household in Shaanxi. It has been passed down in Datong for several generations, for more than a hundred years.

Even though he knew it was a boring fantasy, Zhu Da still kept thinking that there was no other reason. His life in Baibao Village was too boring and his life was too hard.

Zhu Da recovered quickly after he recovered from his illness. At this time, the wheat was ripe in the golden autumn, and the harvest season was about to come. This was the top priority of the entire Baibao Village. The whole village and the strong laborers of all households were busy with this. Seeing that his children were cured, Zhu Da's parents started to work hard.

Children from poor families were already in their homes, and children from farm families had to go to the fields to help after twelve years. Zhu Da should have worked with him, but his parents were reluctant to leave him, so he left him at home and was idle.

No matter how poor the family is, the nature of children and teenagers who like to have fun will not be erased. If it were someone else's children, they would have been having fun in the villages and outside the villages. However, Zhu Da is now in his twenties, so he would not have trouble with these furry children. After being allowed to go to the ground to move on the first day, Zhu Da first walked around his broken house a few times, including adobe houses, crude houses, low walls, and broken leaks everywhere. What is praised is that his parents are very neat and clean.

After reading it, Zhu Da walked out of the yard and stared at the dirt road in front of the door and the neighborhood house for a long time. The house he saw within his vision seemed to be worse than his own. He often went to wild and mountainous areas for more than 20 years of his life, and had also seen poor villages, but compared to what he saw in front of him, it was simply in the sky. Zhu Da inexplicably remembered the word "productivity gap" which had long been blurred in his memory.

Zhu Da did not stay in a daze all the time. He closed the gate of the courtyard and walked out along the familiar and unfamiliar dirt road. Zhu Da wanted to walk all over Baibao Village and look at the entire village. He used the familiar and unfamiliar scene to evoke memories and sort out the memories. Of course, he did not want to look at the rich and poor, but turned the current feeling of "familiar and unfamiliar" into "familiar".

This is related to his life experience. A good wild traveler must be familiar with the environment he is camping, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles and dangers. In addition, Zhu Da in another world is an orphan. His experience from childhood to adulthood allows him to know that he is not qualified to blame others. He has to work hard to adapt to whatever he encounters. Survival and live well is the most important thing. Since life in modern society is gone forever, this life must be well lived.

Zhu Da didn't walk fast, but he observed very carefully. The village was quiet during the day and the weather was clear. The elderly were basking in the sun or chatting at the wall in front of their homes. They could hear the laughter of the children from afar, and the wild land was more attractive to them.

"Xiao Zhu, are you in good health?" asked an old woman.

This is Grandma Chen from her back street. She has two sons at home. One works in Datong City and the other farms in the village. She has a good life.

"Grandma Chen, I'm fine. The weather is getting colder. You always wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." Zhu Da replied with a smile.

His answer stunned the other party. Zhu Da thought he had said something wrong, but he didn't stop. He just continued to walk forward and looked around. Zhu Da didn't hear the old lady muttering "Why did she change her personality?"

The village is not big, and the houses and courtyards I saw on the road were a bit dilapidated. Zhu Da thought that his family was bad enough, but he didn't expect that it was quite good in the village. Thinking of this, Zhu Da smiled bitterly. In this memory of time and space, other villages were worse than Baibao Village. Perhaps different times have different definitions of poverty.

I was about to leave the village in a few steps. In the northeast corner of the village, I saw a neat house with white walls and black tiles. Although it was not large in size, it was somewhat grand. This is where the Li family, the general banner of the hundred households, was located.

The head of the Baihu Office is Baihu, with two general flags serving as deputys. However, in Zhu Da's memory, the common thing in Baihu Village is the General Banner Li. The Baihu Village has never seen the other general flag before. His parents and villagers rarely talk about it. The general flag of Li is responsible for all matters in the village. The most important thing he manages is to collect grain and share corvee labor. The General Banner Li is quite responsible for his work. Although Baihu Village complains a lot, he has no resentment.

Zhu Da used to look at this house, but he envied wealth, but now he looked at it a little more interesting. After all, this brand new building is based on the current shape. Although the decoration is simple, it has the style of this era, and can see a lot of connotations. Zhu Da stopped and observed carefully.

While looking at it, the "creaking" sounded, and the gate of Mr. Li's house opened. A girl with a braid came out with her servant. The girl was about ten years old, wearing a new coat and skirt, with a rosy face like an apple, and looked very cute. This is Li Chunhua, the youngest daughter of Mr. Li. Everyone in the village called "Three Miss". Zhu Da, who followed her servant, was also familiar with her. She was the aunt from the Su family on the street. More than a hundred families in the village had to take turns to come to Li's house to help the servants.

As soon as Li Chunhua went out, she slapped Zhu Da in the face. The little girl was stunned for a moment, then frowned and showed a disgusting expression. She raised her chubby little finger and pointed at Zhu Da and said, "What are you doing in front of my house? Do you want to steal something? Get out of here!"

The Su family's aunt thought that the boy of the Zhu family was also a tough guy, and he didn't know the slightest part. He would definitely be beaten when he had a quarrel. He had to drive Xiao Zhu away quickly, otherwise he would not be able to go to the Zhu family and his wife to explain.

I never thought that Xiao Zhu, who was usually stubborn and scolded him, just smiled, walked away quickly and rushed out of the village. This reaction made Li Chunhua and Su Jiapo both stunned, but didn't care. Li Chunhua has always been arrogant in Baibao Village, so how could he care about such a poor boy who could be seen everywhere?

"The little girl looks so healthy and has good nutrition." Zhu Da naturally would not be angry with a spoiled little girl. After seeing it, he only sighed. Most of the villagers he saw and remembered were malnourished, and only a few people from Mr. Li's family were not.

After leaving the village, the vision is much wider. What you see in the village is full of poverty and desolation. The fields outside the village are golden autumn scenes, with wheat waves rolling, Zhu Da’s spirits are refreshed and feels happy.
