From a distance, Chen Qiaoshan saw a tall and thin man and a petite girl standing at the school gate. With his figure, he could recognize at a glance that he was the current father Chen Weiguo and his third sister Chen Xi.

In my memory, Chen Qiaoshan is the second child in the Chen family, with a half-sister whom he had never met and three younger sisters below. Today, when the second child policy has not yet been opened, five brothers and sisters are probably a big anecdote.

Speaking of this, we have to mention his father Chen Weiguo.

Chen's father was born in the mid-1950s. In that era, Weiguo, Weimin, Weidong, Patriotic, Love the people, Love the people, and Love the East had many unique historical names in the country. This is also a major Chinese characteristic. Of course, this characteristic is gradually changing with the changes of the times.

The Chen family lives in a remote mountain village at the junction of Hubei and Henan provinces. Chen, the head of the Chen family, who has been in a remote village for a lifetime, has five children, four sons and one daughter. Chen Weiguo is the old and youngest in the family.

As the saying goes, the youngest son and eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old couple. Chen Weiguo has three brothers and one sister, and four strong laborers in the family. He has never suffered any hardships since he was a child and has been safe and sound without illness or disaster. When he was at school, Old Man Chen responded to the call of the country and sent him to a school in the village.

Chen Weiguo was born in New China and grew up under the Red Banner. He calmly finished elementary school and entered middle school. As a result, he had caught up with that exciting special period before he had been in middle school for two years.

Old Man Chen, who had been honest and honest all his life, heard from the villagers that his youngest son didn't learn well in school, so he picked up a stick and rushed to the village, and drew Chen Weiguo, who was learning to rebel and mess with others in the village.

After careful calculation, Chen's father was driven back to the village by Old Man Chen before he finished his high school. Strictly speaking, he could only be considered as having obtained a primary school diploma, but fortunately it was not an era of diplomas.

Chen Weiguo, who dropped out of school and returned home, could only drag a fire shovel handle as high as him, following his three brothers' butts facing the loess and backs facing the sky, farming at home.

After a few years of peace, under the control of Old Man Chen and his wife, Chen Weiguo's brothers and sisters got married one after another. After several years of training, Chen Weiguo gradually grew up.

The young Chen Wei people are energetic, have a lively and elegant look, have a good mouth, and have the strength to endure hardships. This is a good deal in the neighborhood. Gradually, the aunts and aunts in the village stare at the youngest son of the Chen family. At any time, there are always seven aunts and eight aunts coming to the door of the Chen family to tell the marriage to the youngest son of the Chen family.

As a result, Chen Weiguo, who was very interested in the nearby girls and wives, didn't like him, but he just fell in love with Professor Zhang's little daughter who was sent to the village for labor reform.

Professor Zhang and his wife were both senior intellectuals who had been abroad. They were originally professors and educated in Yanjing universities, but it was obvious that intellectuals were not a good word in that chaotic period. The Zhang and his wife were sent to this remote place together with their two sons and a daughter. The situation is conceivable.

When he learned that his youngest son was coveting Professor Zhang's little daughter, Old Man Chen was so angry that he poked his heart and cursed: "You are so turtle and lard that you don't look at your virtues. Zhang Xuejiao's family has drunk foreign ink. What are you? Don't look at their life now, they might turn over one day. You just saw that you didn't know the world is so strong that you can think of your daughter?"

In Old Man Chen's simple thinking, knowledgeable people have real skills, and they are not something that their sons can afford to eat.

But Chen Weiguo is also a kind of love. He just thought that Old Man Chen's words were a matter of court, and he rushed to Zhang Xuejiao and his wife with a shy face, and was determined to please the Zhang couple who were suffering in the countryside. He helped him with any problems and whether he had anything to do.

Poor Zhang's family's scholarly family, the family cannot take on their shoulders and cannot bear them. The family suffers a lot. Seeing that there is a enthusiastic young man who helps with him, I am very grateful. After a while, Zhang Ziyu, the little daughter of the Zhang family, secretly got along with Chen Weiguo, the youngest son of the Chen family.

In the village, there is no wall that does not leak air.

The gossip of the youngest son of the Chen family's love for Zhang Xuezhai's little daughter was soon spread throughout the countryside by his aunt and wife, attracting jokes from the villagers. When the news spread to the Zhang couple, it was already well known.

For this reason, Chen Weiguo was often rolled by the Zhang couple. But no matter how he was thick-skinned, he kept sticking forward. The scholars who passed on the poetry and books had no choice but to rely on their two sons who were still bachelors to pursue and block Chen Weiguo and strictly guarded them.

Fortunately, in that year, I didn’t know how to pay attention to the law, and intellectuals also had to submit to reality. Hard work pays off. In 1977, Chen Weiguo and Zhang Ziyu had a lover to get married.

On December 10 of the same year, the brother-in-law of the Zhang family signed up for the first college entrance examination after the turmoil.

On the 28th day of the 1977th, the day before New Year's Eve, a group of people from the county and township came to the village, beating drums and drums and sending their eldest son's admission letter to Professor Zhang and his wife. Chen Weiguo's bachelor brother-in-law, who was almost thirty years old, was admitted to Northern Jiaotong University. This was a big news throughout the county, and it caused a sensation in the entire ten miles of townships.

Chen Weiguo, who had just gotten married, originally thought that he would live like this in his life, but he did not expect that the changes would come so quickly.

Many things happened in seven or eight years. On February 27th of that year, his bachelor brother-in-law left the countryside with his luggage and had been staying for nearly ten years. Then the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held in Yanjing. The Zhang couple, the stinky old man, finally took off their hats that they had been wearing for a long time.

In April 1979, Professor Zhang and his wife left the countryside and returned to Yanjing. On the day they left, Zhang Ziyu, who was pregnant, cried heartbrokenly with his parents who were about to return home, and Chen Weiguo felt very sad.

At the end of the year, Chen Qiaoshan's eldest sister was born and only gave her a nickname according to rural rules, named Xiaobao.

After receiving the letter, the mother-in-law, who had just returned to Beijing, rushed back thousands of miles away. She didn't know what the mother and daughter had talked about. A few days later, Zhang Ziyu told the Chen family that she wanted to take the college entrance examination. Then she picked up the book her mother had memorized from Yanjing and started to review. This made Chen Weiguo, who was unprepared, suddenly stunned.

Perhaps it was because of his family's origins or because of his natural intelligence, Zhang Ziyu took the college entrance examination in the summer of 1980s and unexpectedly got admitted to Tsinghua University.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire Nanyang Administrative Office. At that time, hundreds of people from all over the county and township came, and the drums and drums were very lively.

When the news came to this remote village, Chen Weiguo's father, Old Man Chen, silently held a pipe and squatted on the ground until dark and never came back. Perhaps this simple rural old man had foresaw his youngest son's near future, perhaps because he regretted that he failed to stop his youngest son's marriage back then.

At the end of that year, Zhang Ziyu, who was on winter vacation at the school, returned from Yanjing with his mother. Everyone in the village looked at the Chen family's wife who came back from Yanjing for the New Year like a Western view.

In half a year, the mother and daughter were dressed up all over, and the villagers were muttering in private, and they didn't know what was circulating. Zhang Ziyu, who hadn't seen his daughter for half a year, hugged Chen Xiaobao, who no longer knew his mother, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Ziyu and his daughter took their just one-year-old daughter to board the train back to Yanjing. Old Man Chen stopped the Chen family's mama who held her granddaughter and refused to let go. Old Man Chen might be reluctant to leave...

When leaving, Chen Weiguo stared at his wife and the baby who was not famous in her arms. Under the pull of her mother-in-law, Zhang Ziyu finally took her daughter and boarded the train to the north, and never came back again.

In July of the 1981, the eldest brother-in-law of the Zhang family came over and accompanied by two young cadres of the Administrative Office, calling back Chen Weiguo who was pulling weeds on the slopes of the production team, and brought a divorce agreement and 400 yuan.

While the old lady in the Chen family was crying, Chen Weiguo stared at the beautiful signature on the agreement for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stroked his name as neatly as possible under the familiar name. However, he found that the six words side by side were so dazzling, which deeply hurt this rural man with only elementary school education.

After signing the letter, Chen Weiguo went back to the inner room and found a marriage certificate wrapped in red cloth with four bright red letters of mutual help and love, and rolled up the huge amount of 400 yuan placed on the table and threw it into his brother-in-law's arms.

The former brother-in-law was kicked out of the village by Chen Weiguo's three brothers with a broom, and two cadres in the county also left awkwardly.

The divorced Chen Weiguo became a laughing stock in the village. Some people said he was stupid, some people laughed at him for being stupid and could not keep his wife and children. The Chen family could only swallow their anger and had to ask grandpa to sue her grandma to have another wife for her younger son.

Divorce was not a good reputation that year, but it was only thankless. No girl from any family was willing to come to the Chen family.

After this incident, Chen Weiguo, who used to be clear-headed and bright-eyed, smiled slightly when he saw people, fell completely silent, like Old Man Chen who liked to squat on the ground and smoked his tobacco pipe silently.

Perhaps time is the best mentor of mankind. He will teach you to mature quietly. Chen Weiguo changed his appearance overnight.

In mid-1983, with the trouble of the Chen family's aunts and aunts, he finally remarried and married a woman from another province named Tao Xiuying, who was eight years younger than him.

Tao Xiuying is a widow and a woman with a rough fate.

Less than two months after she got engaged with someone for the first time, the man fell into an emergency and left. Some half immortals said that Tao Xiuying was desperate to defeat her husband. The man's family went to the Tao family for several times, but he had no choice but to have a bad reputation and it would be difficult to get married again.

After two years of delay, the Tao family failed to find a good family for their daughter. In the end, a yellow-flowered daughter made Chen Weiguo, a second-married old man from another province.

Tao Xiuying looks very handsome and has a cheerful personality. She cleans up her family inside and out, and life is just like this.

On July 1984, when his eldest son was born, Chen Weiguo did not care about the rules of the country people, so he gave his children a nickname that he could support. He pointed directly at Qiao Shan, who was less than 100 meters away and said, "The second child is called Qiao Shan, Chen Qiao Shan!"

No one of the Tao family, who was happy to have a grandson, asked why their daughter's first child was the second child. I think everyone knew that Chen Weiguo also had an unknown daughter far away in Yanjing, and he didn't say much after hearing this.

I don’t know what Chen Weiguo thought, children are born one after another.

The daughter was born on the first and third day of the first lunar month in 1986 and was named Chen Xi.

The daughter was born on June 184, 1987 and was named Chen Wan.

The Chen family, who gave birth to three children in a row, had almost all the thresholds flattened by the township cadres. Maybe they knew the bad things that happened in the Chen family a few years ago, and the things that had passed by the extra child ended quietly.

On August 15, 1992, Chen Weiguo's fifth child was born and named Chen Yue.

The policy changed, and the township also changed to a town. This time, the town cadres refused to give in and eventually fined the Chen family three thousand yuan.

In the rural areas at that time, three thousand yuan was a huge sum of money, and Chen Weiguo could not afford it. Fortunately, there were many brothers in the Chen family, and the four brothers in the Chen family borrowed money everywhere and paid enough to collect the fine.

Of course, the debt in the end had to fall on Chen Weiguo's shoulders, and the Chen family's burden was a little heavier.

Chen Weiguo, who was surrounded by three daughters, seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. During the slack season, a big man often walked around with his youngest, and went up to show off his little daughter when he met everyone. The neighbors gathered together and praised him for a few words, and he could have fun all day.

As time goes by, no one mentioned the past that happened in the Chen family.
