Not long after he took office, Governor Shang entrusted his comrades in arms to find his daughter who was fostered in a mountain village in the Ningdu prefecture before the Long March.It was the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and everything was waiting to be done. After searching for a while but not finding it, the matter was put on hold.Governor Shang didn't mention it again. Governor Shang didn't mention it because he forgot, but he temporarily suppressed his wish.Sure enough, Governor Shang brought up this matter again... That day, Section Chief Guo had just opened the newly arrived letters and read them one by one. Suddenly, the chief of the bureau a few offices away ran over, "Old Guo, hurry up, there is a long-distance call from the province. You answer the phone!" Chief Guo was taken aback and ran to the director's office in a panic.Governor Shang whispered in a soft voice, saying that he would ask Section Chief Guo for a favor: "Huang Mingsheng and Captain Huang have already found a girl. My daughter Shang Lanlan, please look for me again..." Since then, Guo Ke The chief decided to look for it, and ran through several counties in person. After three months, he locked the target.Just to be on the safe side, Section Chief Guo went to that mountain village with the fragrance of pear blossoms in person.

"Are you Shang Lanlan?" Under the pear tree, he saw a young woman with big braids carrying water, and he smiled and struck up a conversation. The young woman with big braids tossed her braids, and asked aggressively, "Call me what you mean? Comrade brother, a gold bar fell from the sky?!" Old Guo was stunned, where did he start?While hesitating, the two got closer, only to hear a cough, a branch above the head was broken, and a young man with leopard eyes was staring at it from the tree.The young woman's face became hot, and she was about to leave. A few pineapples from the tree fell into her bucket, and the water splashed Lao Guo all over.

At this time, a man with a small cub came out of the house: "Lan Lan, I have carried water to the west, and I lost my soul! This cub is barking!" Old Guo was confused, he, he, and Who is it?Looking for the old secretary of the brigade, Lao Guo identified his identity. The old secretary sighed for a long time and said, Lan Lan is a good woman with a hard life, but she is from the countryside, and she tramples on her own fields. There are some things she shouldn't do... Section Chief Guo It's difficult, how can I explain this to Governor Shang? Governor Shang got the news and didn't want him to explain it. He was so happy that he yelled on the phone: "You little Guo, what's not, don't talk about it. As long as you don't lose your arms and legs, you'll be fine if you find it!"The next day, a 70% new military jeep slowly drove into the prefectural committee guest house, and Governor Shang hurriedly jumped out of the car.

"Lan Lan—" Before anyone introduced him, he recognized his daughter from the waiting crowd. "Father, father—" Lan Lan immediately stepped forward and said carelessly, "I can tell you are my father at a glance." Both of them have broad foreheads, high cheekbones, and big mouths... This face is unique to a man. It can be regarded as firm and resolute, and it is a blessing, but for women, it cannot be said to be beautiful and a blessing.The two hugged each other, feeling suddenly sad, and silently shed a few tears. Governor Shang caressed his daughter's face, looked left and right, suddenly burst into laughter, and said, "This daughter can't go wrong. You see, as soon as Lan Lan was born, I stamped three seals on her head. "People gathered to look at the seal.On top of Lan Lan's head, there are two spinners side by side.

"Then there is another seal?" Someone asked. "There's another seal here." Governor Shang pushed back the hair on Lan Lan's forehead, and sure enough there was another seal there.Then, Governor Shang was as happy as a child, and lowered his head to let people verify the three spins on his head. "Three spinners are the most brutal and stubborn. If they are neither brutal nor stubborn, they can't win battles, and they can't be commanders or governors..." "No wonder Lan Lan is also stubborn. Three spinners are really his father's kind!" "Everyone rushed to see it, and couldn't help "tsk tsk" in praise.At this moment, Governor Shang was so proud, and Lan Lan was so happy.

"Hey, Lan Lan has four spinners on her head, and she has one more!" Someone exclaimed. Afterwards, Governor Shang and everyone were surprised to see that there was a circle on Lan Lan's forehead covered by her black hair.However, that is not a real spin, but a scar.Look carefully, there are many large and small scars on her head and arms. What about the body covered by clothes? Tears flowed silently from the eye sockets and flowed on Lan Lan's face.She lowered her head and murmured. "Father, why did you abandon me when I was young?!" Boom——the whole earth shook visibly.

The people fell silent, knowing it well: from childhood to adulthood, Lan Lan has accumulated so many scars in her life!Seventeen years ago, Lan Lan was only five years old when she was hastily fostered by the Red Army.The peasants who adopted her were reliable, poor peasants.His family has two sons, Dabao and Erbao, who are five or six years older than her.In this impoverished farmer's family, Lan Lan, who was abandoned by her parents, was destined to be a child bride. However, Dabao and Erbao didn't want her to be their wife because they were afraid of being ridiculed by their companions.Don't want her specific performance, that is, she often scolds and beats her for no reason.Sometimes they hit her one by one, sometimes two at the same time.The other two are the two daughters of the farmer, one is two years older than her and the other is the same age as her.Although the two daughters often quarrel with each other, once they deal with the stubborn Lan Lan, they are dealing with a foreign race, and they immediately form a united front.

It was an unimaginable, humiliating, cruel life of suffering. In this impoverished family, they ate miscellaneous grains every day, and they could only eat miscellaneous grains mixed with rice during festivals.She is a superfluous person who eats nothing.At every meal, I blame her for eating too much, saying that she can't do things, but only knows how to eat, and calling her a slob and an idiot.She resisted unrelentingly, saying that she did not do less than anyone else, and she did not eat more than anyone else.However, because of her existence, it did increase the poverty of the family.

Life in the countryside is poor, and the only fruit for children is cucumbers.Every time Lan Lan eats cucumbers, there is always the small half of the bitter stalk in Lan Lan's hands. For more than ten years, she still thinks that cucumbers are bitter melons. The four brothers and sisters are Lan Lan's natural enemies. One of the ways they play games is to tease her for fun.Children torture children, women torture women, it can be said that they are always in dire straits.But all of them are low-level and straightforward, falling into the subtleties, and it is impossible to elaborate on them one by one.In all the conflicts, the parents must be partial to their own children, even outsiders, they also look at the master, most of them say that Lan Lan is not good, she is a disaster star.

In a poor family, everyone is suffering, and she suffers the most.The most bitter thing is not life, but the soul. Lan Lan's young heart has been tortured countless times, and she suffers from fear every day and night. She has a natural hostility towards that family and everyone.
