Chapter 6: What Love Looks Like

Xin Village, a remote village, is also the center of several small villages around it, with gatherings and small business fronts lining the streets.

Where there are people, there are all kinds of lace news, and women in the countryside rarely avoid children when they gossip.

You may not understand these little things at all, or you will not be interested in these things.

Therefore, these love stories, which are either bitter or poignant, are more or less poured into Guan Yalian's ears.

Among these love stories, the most classic is Guan Yalian's grandfather, the legendary story of Lao Guantou.

Mr. Guan's business in the first half of his life was booming, and he was once a well-known figure, creating a huge family business that people envied and hated.

The old juncture who is proud of the business field, and the love field is also proud, in addition to the wife at home, the old juncture also has a confidant in the neighboring village.

Whenever I go out to the market, the old man will drive the carriage to wait at the entrance of the neighboring village, and after a while, a bright woman will come out in a hurry, talk and laugh and get into the carriage, and go to the market together.

At the old juncture, there was a side business that was to sell livestock, take the woman to do business together, or give the woman some money to go shopping by herself, and finally meet again.

Guan Yalian prefers to believe that Lao Guantou and the woman should be in true affection, and the woman gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and they have been together for a lifetime.

A woman's sons and daughters didn't even have to do DNA—not at that time, and those two children and two of the children in the family were simply carved out of the same mold, just as pretty, handsome.

The two older daughters of the family also often follow Lao Guan Tou to the market, Lao Guan Tou does not avoid the child, and leads his daughter to wait for the old man at the entrance of the woman's village, and then go to the market like a family.

The woman was also smart and had a good relationship with the children, so much so that no one reported to her mother when she returned home.

Like all people who get rich, Lao Guan is fluttering, touching something that should not be touched - tobacco and soil, faster than home, Lao Guan's family almost sold out of land and sold a lot of family property.

So much so that Guan Yalian, who was Guan Xiaofu, later heard her mother, Comrade Li Juan, say many times with regret:

"Look, the first yard, don't look at the fact that it is now a dozen façade houses, it used to be the livestock workshop of our old Guan family. ”

"Do you see the two magnificent gates of the brigade headquarters? That is the entrance gate of the original cattle farm. ”

“……”

The old man is also a bloody person, seeing that his family is in the middle of the road, he forcibly quit the harmful thing.

The legend of the old juncture is that the loser is also defeated at the right time, and soon, the movement that swept the country hit.

Families with large areas of land were condemned as rich peasants or landlords, but they suffered old crimes, and some people died without carrying them.

And the Lao Guan family was designated as a middle peasant because of the middle of the family, which can be classified as a poor middle peasant, and the family survived that turbulent era peacefully.

After Lao Guantou died, a woman who was nearly sixty years old and had been friends with Lao Guantou all her life was once found secretly going to the cemetery and crying heartbreakingly......

Guan Yalian still doesn't understand her grandparents' concept of love, grandma can give birth to six children for her grandfather, and she can calmly recognize the children born of her grandfather outside of marriage as righteous sons and daughters.

After reading Nietzsche's different views on love between men and women, I got a little understanding.

A woman's view of love is a complete devotion of the spirit and the flesh, without reservation, without scruples, and even at the thought of giving with additional conditions, she feels ashamed and apprehensive.

Grandma is like this, so is the old man at the old juncture, two women dedicate their lives to the same man for their love.

In men, love and loyalty are naturally opposed, and their love is the desire to possess, not to give and give up, and the desire to possess ends in possession every time......

There is another man in Xin Village, Zhao Yinsheng, who has a wider female popularity, but he is too attentive and has a bad reputation in the village.

At the end of the eighties, a thick-eyed soldier brother Zhao Yinsheng came to the village.

At that time, in the same group, Guan Yalian called the old man of the seventh master, and recruited a son-in-law for his daughter Zhao Sannu, Zhao Yinsheng did not return to his hometown in the mountainous area of northern Shaanxi after the demobilization of the army, and was introduced to Xin Village to become the son-in-law of the seventh master.

When Zhao Yinsheng first came, his appearance almost crushed all the young men in Xincun, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the quilt was square when he first came.

Guan Yalian was only thirteen years old at the time, and at that time, the countryside was not like now, and she needed help working in the fields.

The young man Zhao Yinsheng is strong in blood, and he is willing to work in the field.

When picking watermelons in Lao Guan's field, other men carried a small snakeskin bag and hummed, but Zhao Yinsheng didn't have much trouble carrying it with a sack.

Another time he and the two sturdy brothers in the village had a quarrel because of trivial matters, the brothers usually walked sideways, and kept rushing forward to beat him, Zhao Yinsheng didn't take the initiative to attack, just waited for them to come to him, and then knocked them to the ground one by one.

In Guan Yalian's eyes, the most courageous prince charming in fairy tales is nothing more than that!

After Guan Yalian went to middle school, she rarely had contact with Zhao Yinsheng, and only heard when the people in the village gossiped that many young women who stayed at home in the village had personal affairs with Zhao Yinsheng, and their eyes were almost glued to Zhao Yinsheng's body.

Whenever she hears such words, Guan Yalian is a little ashamed, back then, Guan Yalian was also Zhao Yinsheng's little fan sister, and she liked to look at beautiful men from a distance, listening to the people in the village talk nonsense, maybe it was shameful to look at a man like this!

When the handsome guy Zhao Yinsheng was in his forties, he drove a tricycle to the field, and when he returned, he accidentally overturned under the low cliff on the side of the road, and the tricycle pressed on Zhao Yinsheng's back and broke his backbone.

It was noon at that time, and there was no one in the field, Zhao Yinsheng should have struggled for a long time before he died, he was tortured, and there were many traces of struggle on the ground under him.

Guan Yalian was still sad when she heard the news, and the handsome young man in a green military uniform seemed to be right in front of her.

Other brothers-in-law have private sisters-in-law or something, and Guan Yalian doesn't believe that there is really love between them. In addition, the male and female parties are simply crooked melons and cracked dates, and they all feel cold when they look at it, so don't mention it.

There are even a few women in Xin Village who are forced by life, and it is rumored that as long as they give 20 yuan, they can sleep together once, with names and surnames, and I don't know how it came out.

Now that I think about it, life is compelling, these women must be trying to support their families, and they also have their own difficulties! Otherwise, who would be willing to give up their dignity and let others gossip?

Guan Yalian's living environment is probably like this, at the bottom of the society - a peasant family, no one specially taught Guan Yalian what love should look like and how to love.

Guan Yalian also doesn't know anything about physiological knowledge, but fortunately, she is relatively late, and the problems that other girls encounter in the first year of junior high school, Guan Yalian didn't encounter until high school.

At that time, there was already a course on physical hygiene, and the ignorant adolescence began from then on.
