It was also because of this incident that the old village chief Li Chunjiang felt guilty towards the villagers and took the initiative to resign. He died of depression a few years later.
The departure of the old village chief made life even more difficult for Xu Jianguo, who was already an outsider.
Seeing that Xu Jianguo was alone and helpless, the villagers often sent him some food. Although he still had no food to eat, at least he could survive.
Later, with the establishment of the production team, Xu Jianguo was able to earn some food for himself by earning work points.
Although I couldn't get full work points, I wouldn't starve to death if I planned my meals.
…
Xu Jianguo lay on the kang and sorted out the memories in his mind, and felt some hope in his heart.
He subconsciously touched the ring finger of his left hand, but found that the ring on his hand was gone, and he sat up suddenly.
I raised my left hand and found it was empty.
There was only a faint blue mark on the ring finger.
This mark, both in width and pattern, is exactly the same as his missing ring.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what was going on, and finally I could only sigh helplessly.
Get up, fold the bedding and put it in the kang cabinet.
Pushing open the door and walking into the yard, a fresh air unique to the mountain village wafts over.
This lifted the spirits of Xu Jianguo, who had suffered from illness for several years in his previous life.
I drew water from the jar and washed my face.
He broke off another piece of willow branch and put it in his mouth to chew.
Xu Jianguo has no toothbrush at home, so he can only use this folk method to solve the problem of personal hygiene.
After washing up, Xu Jianguo went into the main room, heated up the two steamed buns left over from last night, and made some porridge with cornmeal and sweet potato flour.
He gritted his teeth and stared, forcing himself to finish his first breakfast since coming to this world.
Seeing that it was still early, Xu Jianguo decided to take a walk around the village.
Although he had the memory in his mind, he still wanted to see with his own eyes the Sandaliang Village where he lived.
Sandaliang Village is named after its location at the intersection of three mountains and is part of the remnant of Beimang Mountain.
The entire village has more than 20 households and more than 100 villagers.
The village has only a rugged mountain road as an entrance. The village has nearly 200 acres of arable land, 70% of which are terraced fields.
The main crops include corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, vegetables and various tubers (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams).
Sandaliang Village is located in a mountainous and hilly area, and Xu Jianguo was an outsider. In order not to occupy the village's arable land, the then village chief Li Chunjiang allocated a vacant lot near the middle of the mountain to Xu Jianguo as their homestead.
The location of this residential land is more than 50 meters away from the nearest neighbor's house.
It can be said to be the quietest place in the entire Sandaliang Village, and standing in the yard, you can overlook the entire village.
Because the area of the homestead was too small, Xu Jianguo's father Xu Maotian had to ask the villagers for help. It took him more than half a year to carve out a space on the stone wall on the north side that was more than 2 meters high, about 10 meters wide and about 1 meter deep.
Part of the adobe house was embedded in the stone wall, leaving a vegetable patch of less than 30 square meters for his family.
