At the end of the spring of the second year of Xuantong, Leshan County, Jiading Prefecture.

In February, the Revolutionary Party of the Tongmenghui was rampant. Hundreds of people, including Qin Bing, Cheng Defan, seized guns from the Tongjiachang in Jiading and other places, and launched the historically named "Jiading Uprising in Southern Sichuan."

Although the Revolutionary Party was forced to go to Pingshan by the guarded court soldiers, the uprising still made the atmosphere in Jiading Fucheng tense.

Leshan County, the city of Jiading Prefecture, is the political center of a government. In the past two months, the number of pedestrians on the street still seems to be a bit less.

Leshan County is located at the confluence of the Minjiang River, Dadu River and Qingyi River. It is known in history as "The scenery of the world is in Shu, and the victory of Shu is called Jiazhou." It was originally a place where mountains and rivers were beautiful, merchants were noisy, and they were affected by revolutionary party events. The businessmen also had to shrink their heads, being caught by the county government, and there would be "sales" with cleverly established names.

Emeishan tea and Wutianma from Jinkouhe are all famous local products in Leshan. However, in recent years, the imperial court's control over the locality has weakened, and the decree is unreasonable. The businessmen doing business in the world are inconvenient to do business. The locals who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water and the water make a living are even more difficult.

At the beginning of April, the tea workers ate and lived on the mountain, busy for a few days just for the most valuable "Mingqian tea".

Mingqian tea is tea harvested before Qingming Festival.

Huaxia people divide the year into twenty-four solar terms. After the startling sting and the vernal equinox, the tea trees begin to sprout, and these new shoots can be harvested before the "Ching Ming" period. Because the temperature before Qingming is generally low, the number of germination is limited, the growth rate of tea is slow, and the output that can meet the picking standards is very small, and the material is rare and expensive. The "Mingqian tea" in Emeishan tea has always been sought after by merchants.

They all show that the former West Lake Longjing is expensive, and the Emei Mountain tea gathers the essence of Sichuan and Sichuan mountains and waters. The buds and leaves are delicate and the color is green and fragrant. It is not as refined and expensive as the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty. However, there is another kind of wild tea, which is not worried about sales.

There is a long street to the south of Leshan County. The alley is narrow and long, with a curved street of more than ten meters, crowded with hundreds of families. It is a famous gathering place for the poor in the county.

The first floor facing the street is full of storefronts. The wooden boards are unloaded one by one, and the shop is less than 10 square meters in size. The shop usually has a long narrow corridor for people to pass through, passing the dim corridor. The faint light leaked from the patio, behind which was the real residence.

The two-story courtyard is surrounded by a patio. Even the half-person-high loft is only eight rooms, but three households with fourteen people live.

The family's surname is Shu. Because the mother is still in the family, the three brothers have not separated. The whole family is crowded into the old house. The shop in front of the old house opened a konjac tofu shop, which was run by Mr. Shu and his family.

Konjac is easy to grow and live in the suburbs. Leshan Snow Konjac is well-known far and wide. The tofu shop of Shu's family opened on the street of poor people. It corresponds to the needs of the same impoverished hundreds of households, and the income is mixed with food and clothing.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, the sky hasn't been completely bright, the light of the stars and the moon is still there, and the people of the Shu family have already got up.

A big stone mill was placed in the corner of the small patio. Under the moonlight, Boss Shu was grinding it. The cut konjac was put into the stone mill, and as the boss of Shu couldn't help waving his arm, the dark gray viscous konjac juice flowed down the mouth of the mill into the big wooden barrel.

"Sannizi, where did you get the water? The konjac juice is so thick that you can't make tofu!"

"Hey, here comes!"

A small head emerged from the well, two pigtails tied with a red string, her face was black and gray, and she looked like a five or six-year-old girl.

She struggled to pull out a half bucket of water from the well, carrying the wooden bucket to the stone mill.

Lord Shu looked at her small arms and legs holding a basin of water and walking halfway up and down. She wiped her sweat and shouted at the hall: "Her auntie, come out and help!" /

A fair-skinned woman opened the door, splashed her face with water, and sneered while holding on to the door frame: "My old lady still has to serve the young and old in your family, but unfortunately she didn't have a third hand. Pooh, there is no hand. A lazy man without legs, I am used to seeing her niece doing her work!"

The woman criticized Sang and cursed Huai and said that Boss Shu was speechless.

She was not at the little girl, but at the second house of Shu Lao in the left room.

The three brothers of the Shu family are not separated. The first couple of Shu runs a konjac tofu shop, and the second of Shu has a carpentry job. On weekdays, he goes out early and returns late to work in a shop in the county town. Shu Laosan married a tea girl. Qingming was the time to pick tea. Both of them lived in a tea garden in Mount Emei. They left their six-year-old daughter at home to be taken care of by their mother.

Sister-in-law Shu said that Sang Shuhuai was talking about second-in-law, and second-in-law Shu still wants to make money for the family. Second sister-in-law Shu is wrapped around three-inch golden lotus with pointed feet, and can't hold her shoulders. She has been uncomfortable with her for a long time.

"Daddy, I can bring water."

The little girl finally moved the tub next to the mill. The young girl knew that there were frequent quarrels at home, so she quickly expressed her ability to work.

Boss Shu took the tub from his niece, touched her head, sighed and poured the water into the konjac.

The world is not good and making money is not easy. The Shu family is already poor. The family is crowded in a small yard. There are frictions in life, and every household often quarrels.

What can he do? He can only blame himself, being the eldest son, for not being able to hold up the door, for not being able to live a good life for his wife and children, and for not pulling his brother’s house, the most pitiful is the little one caught between the aunt and the second. My niece, because her parents leave home all the year round, is not less affected by splinting.

Boss Shu wiped off his sweat and finished the konjac in a big effort.

The diligent little niece helped to burn the fire again, and when the sky was clear, the konjac tofu was also put in the store.

To worship the ancestors during the Qingming Festival, poor families must tighten their belts and buy a chicken or a piece of meat for the ancestor’s grave. After the ancestor’s “enjoyment”, the chicken or meat must be left for his family to eat. It is necessary to come to Shu's house to buy two pieces of konjac tofu and eat it in braised soy sauce. So today the business of Shu's tofu shop is exceptionally good.

Sister Shu looked at the store, Shu Lao Dalian made two pots of tofu and sold out before noon.

Having been busy until noon, the Shu family's grinding plate finally had time.

Qingming rake is to eat Qingming rake. Soak glutinous rice with the pressed water from Qingming vegetables, grind it into rice milk and drain it, then wrap the meat with glutinous rice **** and steam it with grapefruit leaves.

Shu’s family was busy with business, so they started steaming the Qingming rakes, waiting for the warm Qingming rakes to come out of the basket, it was already time for dinner. Sanni, who had been running for a day, could finally rest, sitting under the stove and burning the fire. Aunt Little Feet stuffed her with a Qingming rake. She didn’t care about the hot mouth. Sanni bit the Qingming rake, meat and grapefruit leaves. The fragrance and the slightly bitterness of Qingming dishes made Sanni squinted with happiness when she ate it in her mouth.

She said she was six years old. In fact, she was born in Guangxu thirty-two years old. Six years old is considered a false year.

After it was dark, Sister Shu lit the bean oil lamp, and Mrs. Shu helped down the stairs to eat. The second child of Shu, who works in the county town, also went home. There are 14 people in the Shu family, and there are four children in the Shu family. There are two children in the second family of Shu, and the only daughter of Sanni’s family who works in the tea garden. The old three Shu and his wife threw their only daughter to Granny Shu, but the old lady is a patriarchal grandmother, and Sanni's life is of course difficult.

In the family, only the honest eldest father and the second aunt, who is often scolded by Sister Shu, are still taking care of Sanni.

The food was put on the table. The Shu family did not have any farmland, and they were reluctant to buy vegetables. Today, the family ate meat on Ching Ming Festival. The two teenage boys of Shu Lao came back from the river and caught some big carp. The radishes and leeks were ordered in the vegetable garden in the suburbs, and Ersao Shu skillfully fried them to prepare a few dishes.

A large bowl of braised fish with watercress, a bowl of fried leeks with eggs, a bowl of radish and konjac tofu make pig intestines.

The dishes are rich. The half-old child eats poor Lao Tzu. Watching several grandchildren eat vegetables and planing rice, Mrs. Shu smiles and chews on the radish, feeling it tasteful.

Sanni stared at the fish, and the second sister-in-law Shu gave her a piece of belly meat with the fewest fish bones, arousing old lady Shu's knife-like look.

"What's wrong with the kids whether they eat or not, they don't know how to let the brothers, they are growing up, and you can't lose them!"

Sanni was stared at by her grandma, and the fish in the bowl dared not swallow.

"It's not that people's parents didn't take money at home. Girls who eat a piece of fish and meat say..." The second sister-in-law of Shu couldn't understand Mrs. Shu's patriarchy, because she also had two daughters.

The daughter-in-law who gave birth to a daughter has no status, and even Shu Lao Er and Shu Lao San are pressed by Mrs. Shu and cannot be separated. The two uncles together support the four boys of Mrs. Shu, and Sister Shu often scolds Sang and Huai, so the second sister-in-law is in the same team with the third family, and she often protects Sanni.

Ms. Shu was about to scold her second daughter-in-law for being unfilial, and the door panel of Shu's shop was banged and banged.

"Aunt Shu, are you at home?!"

"Open the door, Aunt Shu, something happened to your third child!"

Sanni was holding the bowl, and cautiously swallowing the fish the second aunt gave her. She was so young that she couldn't connect the "oldest" among the knockers with her father.

Ms. Shu slapped Sanni's chopsticks off: "Silly, don't hurry to open the door and see what happened to your father."

"Oh." Sanni put down the bowl and opened the small door of the shop.

Through the moonlight, Sanni found that there was a circle of people in front of the tofu shop, most of them were neighbors on the street, and there were a few strange men she didn't know.

"Auntie, third brother and third sister-in-law, fell under the cliff and went unfortunately...you have to be sad."

Several strange men carried the stretcher covered with white cloth, and their eyes were red when they saw the Shu family come out.

Aunt Shu, who followed Sanni, felt that her head was severely knocked on her head, and she didn't even react to what the noisy neighbors were saying. It wasn't until Mrs. Shu lifted the white cloth that the Shu family saw the couple who had fallen into the flesh, and then Mrs. Shu "my son--" the crying was prolonged and cut off, and she rolled her eyes and passed out.

Sister-in-law Shu and Sister-in-law both cried, and put Aunt Shu onto the chair.

Boss Shu and Second Shu were also blushing with tears in their eyes. The children of the Shu family were scared to tears by the adults. Only Sanni, holding on to the door frame, was actually stunned.

The neighbors comforted, and the tea workers who came back carrying the bodies of Mrs. Shu and his wife were telling Mr. Shu what happened.

It turned out that the couple picked tea together. Sansao Shu was an experienced tea lady, so the owner of the tea garden asked her to pick the wild tea growing on the cliff. Sansao Shu wanted to separate her family a long time ago. Picking wild tea is dangerous and the salary is high.

The couple have a good relationship, so Oldest Shu will go with her and pull the rope for her.

Who knew that Sister-in-law Shu slipped off the cliff and took the rope-pulling Sister Shu down.

When the tea workers found the couple, they fell together, only the clothes can be identified, and they have no breath.

After listening to the tea workers, the fainted Auntie Shu got up without knowing where she got her strength, and slapped Sanni's face with a slap.

"It's your mother who is a bad guy, who gave birth to you, a money-losing guy, killed my son, and killed my third wife, oh oh oh..."

Sanni was knocked to the ground by her slap, and Aunt Shu cried and tears flowed.

Although the neighbors pity Sanni, they don't know how to comfort her.

Sister-in-law Shu's mother-in-law's population is declining, and her origins are a bit unclear, but she looks very beautiful. Marrying Shu Laosan has provoked many neighbourhoods envy, but Shu Auntie doesn't like her enchanting and enchanting appearance. She has always been to this third daughter-in-law. All have opinions. Sanni is a daughter who grew up in someone else's family. She didn't give birth to a son. The third wife Shu was tired and fell to death. The third one is indeed "unsurpassed."

In the second year of Xuantong, she became an orphan with her parents dead at the age of six.

My grandmother hates her, the second aunt feels distressed for her but can't afford it, and the uncle is dumb and honest.

After finishing the funeral of the parents, the cousin sent her to the tea garden where the parents had the accident under the control of the grandmother and the aunt. The auntie was rolling at the gate of the tea garden and asked the tea garden owner to take care of her.

After a negotiation, the owner of the tea plantation agreed to raise Sanni until she was eighteen.

Sanni's face was full of tears and she called her uncle or grandma, and the three-step-a-side Mr. Shu was dragged away by Sister Shu.

"Do you want to raise the money-losing goods of your brother's family? You are not afraid that she will kill you, I am afraid that she will kill my son! If you dare to regret it, I will take the four children back to your natal family..."

Auntie's shrill voice echoed on the hillside, Sanni was crying hoarse, and Mrs. Shu was held tightly by his wife and never looked back at her.

Five-year-old Sanni, with black sleeves and small white velvet flowers, became a child worker in the Emeishan tea garden.
