C3 Childhood Sweethearts

During this period of time, Xu Jun could vaguely guess from the conversation with the middle-aged couple that it was probably the year of Eastern Terminal Han Dynasty. Why did it have to be called a blur, or even a rough idea? After all, the Yang He couple were just ordinary farmers, and they weren't too clear on who was the emperor.

Xu Jun also knew that his name in this era was Yang Xi and that middle-aged couple was his parents in this era. His father's name was Yang He and his mother was Mrs. Yan. At the beginning, Xu Jun also secretly felt that it was funny. Farmers were farmers, giving their children such a vulgar name.

After a month of contact, Xu Jun discovered that the Yang He couple's simplicity and friendship with the Yang Fu brothers were slowly affected and moved. Xu Jun secretly made up his mind that even in this evil feudal society, even if he was born into a peasant family, he must rely on his own ability to create a bright road for his family to live a good life.

It was indeed the year of the Eastern Terminal Han Dynasty. The current emperor was Han Ling Emperor, and this year was the first year of Twilight Year, which was in the year 172. Xu Jun's current location was the Leping County of the Bing Zhou, and the county governor was Zhao Qiu.

Although Yang Xi (later called Yang Xi) also lived in Leping County, it was still very far from the county where Leping County was governed. As it belonged to the border between Ji Zhou and Ji Zhou, its geographical location was relatively remote, so the local population wasn't too big. The entire village only had a few dozen households.

Since it had already become a fact, Yang Xi felt at ease. In this chaotic Eastern Terminal Han Dynasty year, would there still be a chance for him to rise to prominence? As the saying goes, heroes come from the chaotic world.

Soon, Yang Xi found his life to be very boring. His parents went to work in the fields early in the morning, and his four brothers all went to help. At noon, his mother came back alone to cook, and after cooking, the two of them ate first. After a quick dinner, my father went outside to chat with the rest of the village while my mother weaved and washed clothes and mended clothes by herself under the oil lamp. Only my four brothers accompanied him in his conversation for a while before he went out to play.

Once his father came back, his mother would stop what she was doing and let Yang Xi go to sleep first. Then, she would go out to call Yang Xi's four brothers back and let them sleep, and when all the children moved, his mother would blow out the oil lamp and go with him to rest. Soon, the sound of his rough breathing and his mother's gentle voice would come.

These days were boring, it was too boring. Yang Xi shouted again and again in his heart. However, there was no other way around it. This family had five brothers, it was already good that they could cover their hunger, the family didn't have any extra money for them to study in the academy, and because Yang Xi broke his head not long ago, the family who was already very poor had increased their external debt by 100 gold, their hopes of studying were dashed in the hearts of Yang Fu and the other three (Yang Xi, on the other hand, didn't want to learn anything). Fortunately, the children of the poor families understood well, so the Yang Fu and the other brothers didn't complain about it.

However, it was also because he broke his head that Yang Xi's abnormality didn't bring any suspicion to the Yang brothers and his wife. On the contrary, Yang Xi's actions and words were normal, but he couldn't remember many things from the past, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Since he didn't have to learn, after his injuries recovered, other than helping his parents with some simple farm work every day, Yang Xi spent the rest of his time with his brothers and playing with some of the children in the village. Since the children were still children, he quickly accepted Yang Xi's amnesia and didn't care much about it.

Due to the lack of family planning, there were more than a hundred children between the ages of eight and sixteen in this village. Because of the age range, the groups of children that they played together were also different, and the more than ten children that they played with Yang Xi were all around the age of eight. Among these more than ten children, there was a girl named Chu Lan who was about the same age as Yang Xi, and she was even older than Yang Xi by two months, which caught Yang Xi's attention. Why? Chu Lan was definitely a beauty, with big, watery eyes, a towering nose, and a small mouth. When she smiled, there was a round dimple on each side of her face, making her look especially pretty.

In the past, they often played together. At that time, Chu Lan didn't really care about Yang Xi, but ever since Yang Xi recovered, Chu Lan paid extra attention to him.

Why? Chu Lan didn't know whether the monkey was red or not, since most adults said so, but the Yang Xi of today was abnormal and became the bravest among the children. His personality also changed abruptly, from his initial reluctance to talk to his current rambling, to the fact that he would occasionally tell some strange stories and jokes that would make people laugh out loud. This change made Chu Lan, who was very cautious, feel weird, but at the same time, she couldn't understand it.

Chu Lan's family situation wasn't that good either. Chu Lan had three brothers and two brothers under her. Chu Lan's mother wasn't too well and couldn't do heavy work, so Chu Lan's family was even poorer than Yang Xi. However, Chu Lan had been sensible since she was young and had learned how to sew at the age of eight.

Chu Lan often embroidered things for her father to sell, so she could earn some money. Later on, Chu Lan's embroidery items entered Prefect's residence, which was very popular with Mrs. Prefect, so everything that Chu Lan embroidered was all covered by Prefect's residence, and the price was also much higher than what was sold outside. This caused everyone in the village to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Lan, believing that she would definitely be rich in the future.

Time passed very quickly, five years passed in the blink of an eye. After five years of dull yet excited, boring but warm life, Yang Xi gradually adapted to this kind of life. Although they were not rich, and could even be said to be poor, the people here were all simple, sincere, and without the slightest bit of deceit that existed in modern society.

Five years of living could be said to be short or long, and these five years of living had created a very vivid relationship between Yang Xi and Chu Lan. In fact, it could only be said that Chu Lan had an inexplicable liking for the changed Yang Xi in her heart, and this was the so-called vague love, but Chu Lan was too young, only thirteen years old, and she was in a remote village far away from the county. She didn't know what love was, but she only vaguely knew that she liked being with Yang Xi.

However, Yang Xi was different. Although he was only thirteen years old now, his mental age could not be compared to that of a thirteen year old child. Looking at Chu Lan's daily changes, Yang Xi would be lying to himself if he said that he did not have any thoughts.

Looking at the two children who had been hanging out with each other all day, looking more and more intimate, the two families were well aware of the situation. In their eyes, they had already come to a conclusion. In ancient times, marriage was supposed to be well-matched. The two families were both farmers, and both families were at the bottom of the society.

However, in the April of this year, something happened that completely changed their lives. This year was the sixth year of Han Ling Emperor's Twilight. The entire country was in drought, and there were also seven other prefectures where locusts had taken over. Soon, there would be nothing left to harvest. Ling Emperor issued a decree ordering the three men to remove all local officials who had been cruel, cruel, and corrupt.

At that time, the three officials were Situ Yang Ci, Grand Commandant, Liu Kuan, and Sikong Liu Yi. They were all loyal officials of Qingliu Faction, and after Ling Emperor ordered them to do a thorough investigation of Feudal Provincial and the county governor, they reported the names of these people to Ling Emperor. Ling Emperor removed all of them from office.

After the removal of Hao Ting and Zhao Qiu, the new Bing Zhou Feudal Provincial and Prefect were respectively Ding Yuan and Wang Bo. Ding Yuan's name was naturally very familiar to Yang Xi, who majored in history, and the new Leping County Prefect was said to be from the State of Zhao and had high features. When Yang Xi first heard Wang Bo's name, he always felt that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of which one of the three nations he was from.

Not long after arriving at the Bing Zhou, he immediately ordered the local officials to open up a warehouse and store food to provide relief to the commoners who had suffered from the disaster. This move was immediately supported by the people of Bing Zhou. Wang Bo could be considered as a clearing official. After taking office, before Ding Yuan's order arrived, Wang Bo had already ordered to open up the stocks. It was said that Wang Bo was the one who suggested to Ding Yuan to open up the stocks, so the relationship between the two was pretty good.

Keeping food in storage was, after all, very limited in Bing Zhou, and it did not solve the fundamental problem. For families like Yang Xi and Chu Lan, just keeping food in storage was not enough to solve their problem of being warm and full of food.
