In the second year of Xuantong, the heat in Lingnan was so hot that the rice fields smoked due to the scorching sun.
The lives of three generations of tenant farmers in the Tian family are worse than Coptis chinensis.
The eldest son Tian Dazhu is as steady as a mountain, the second son Tian Erhu is as fierce as fire, and his wife Lin Xiulian is soft yet strong.
The family scraped together everything and finally bought two acres of thin land from the squire.
I thought I could turn around, but I didn't expect——
Severe drought, locust plague, plague, flood, fire, typhoon, harsh government, stragglers...
Disasters come one after another like a tidal wave.
The grain has been eaten up, the cattle have collapsed, and thatched huts have been burned.
The Zhou family pressed for debt, the government put pressure on them, and the neighbors waited and watched.
The Tian family fell to the bottom of life and death.
But people from the Tian family never admit defeat.
The two tigers did not hesitate to open a warehouse and grab grain to save their neighbors;
When Manmei was twelve years old, she took the initiative to sell herself to pay off her debts;
Xiulian used local methods to improve the saline-alkali land and didn't sleep for three days and three nights;
The big pillar raised the plow again on the ruins.
Although there were many hardships, they never tore this family apart.
From the despair of selling a daughter to save her relatives, to the rebirth after typhoons and waves;
From wild vegetables on the barren slopes to warehouses full of silk and livestock;
From thatched hut to the day when the brick house was completed.
After ten years of drinking ice, it is difficult to cool the hot blood.
Ten years of hard work finally paid off.
The water of the Pearl River is flowing, but the earth is full of kindness.
With hard work and perseverance, the Tian family turned their poor life into a good life step by step.
