In Ishikawa Village, because of the arrival of Zhong Yuemin and others, it was as if the New Year had been celebrated in advance, and the men, except for those who worked in the fields, all gathered on the grain to help kill pigs, the women began to cook pig-killing dishes, and the children came and went in groups of three or five like horses.

Zhong Yuemin's ears were full of laughter and excitement, as well as the smell of fat wafting to his nose and the smell of stewed pork.

"Chang Gui's branch secretary has made a capital this time, and he slaughtered three big fat pigs in a row!" Zheng Tong saw Zhong Yuemin coming over, and came with two red hands.

"What smell?" Zhong Yuemin covered his nose.

"I was helping to wash the pigs just now!" Zheng Tong said: "I'm going to make a BJ stew for them!"

"You're really delicious!" Zhong Yuemin said: "You better go and wash it well, you have a smell all over your body!"

"No, why can't I smell it myself?" Zheng Tong kept sniffing at himself.

"Don't smell it, don't sit next to me when you eat later, it will affect your appetite!" Zhong Yuemin said in disgust: "What about Kui Yong and Milai?"

"Kui Yong is helping the fellow villagers divide the meat! He has a big hand, a knife and two catties, and he is better than the butchers invited by the village!" Zheng Tong looked around, "Mi Lai is holding a camera to take pictures of people everywhere!"

"I didn't expect her to be a dedicated reporter!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"This is because she is young and didn't catch up with the queue, otherwise I wouldn't believe that she would be so interested in the countryside!" Zheng Tong said.

Zhong Yuemin was dumbfounded, "Tie the pillar, take out the things behind our car, there are so many children here, give them a shot." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Zhao Xuanzhu rushed out in three steps and two steps.

······

"Yuemin, come, sit!" Chunhua moved a stool for Zhong Yuemin.

"Thank you, Sister Chunhua!" Zhong Yuemin groped and sat down.

"Thank you!" Chunhua waved her hand straightforwardly, and then sat next to Zhong Yuemin to peel garlic.

"Yuemin, you're the one who came with you, right?"

"Who?" Zhong Yuemin was stunned.

"That's the one who takes pictures everywhere!" Chunhua lowered her voice and said, "She looks so smart!"

"Hey, she's not my object, she's a journalist. Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Besides, I haven't seen her appearance, and I don't know if she is water spirit or not." ”

"That's a pity!" Chunhua gossiped again: "Then do you have a partner now?"

"Yes. Zhong Yuemin said: "That person you know, it is Qin Ling." ”

"The one from Baidian Village?" Chunhua recalled, "Then why haven't you been married for so many years?

"She'······" Zhong Yuemin sighed, "This matter is a long story, so it's okay not to talk about it." ”

"Hey!" Chunhua also sighed, "There are nine times out of ten that life is unsatisfactory, just look at some of them." ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Sister Chunhua, why do you have such feelings?"

"What else can I do!" Chunhua pouted at the dog baby who was busy in the distance, "Now this dead man is different from before! ”

As Chunhua spoke, the fire in her heart rose up, and her tone became more and more unkind.

"Look at him like that!"

Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "Brother Dog Baby didn't do anything wrong with you, right?"

"Not really!" Chunhua said, "He doesn't have the guts!"

"That's right!" Zhong Yuemin said: "You have been married to Brother Dog for so many years, and you have given birth to so many dolls, he doesn't dare to be sorry for you!"

"But now he's attracting bees and butterflies...... That sassy look makes people itch with hatred!"

"Then you can't think like that. Zhong Yuemin persuaded: "Think about the time when you went to the county to beg for food, the dog baby brother couldn't open his mouth and couldn't stretch out his hand. Is Brother Dog much stronger now than he was then?"

"That's the same, but ......"

"At that time, you were looking forward to the dog baby brother every day and sheltering you from the wind and rain, and now your wish has come true, and you complain. Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "Why don't you let Brother Gouwa quit the errands of the production team and the cooperative, and go home to guard you every day?"

"That's not good! Why did you quit your errand for no reason?" Chunhua hurriedly said: "What can you do if you guard your aunt every day?!"

"Isn't that it, you're still looking forward to Brother Dog. Zhong Yuemin said: "Just like you advised me, nine times out of ten, life is not as good as you want, you can just look at it." ”

“······”

"Look at Brother Dog Baby now, is it a straight waist and talks a lot, and then let's see if people are more pleasing to the eye than before?"

"It seems to be a good one. Chunhua looked at the dog baby and nodded.

"Hey, that's right, if you toss a lot at night, you won't have the strength to look at others during the day!"

Chunhua nodded again, and suddenly turned her head, "Hey, why do you say anything?"

"Haha······ We're not talking nonsense!" Zhong Yuemin laughed heartily.

······

"Sugar!Sugar!······"

"Line up one by one, don't grab it, whoever grabs it doesn't!"

Zheng Tong and Zhao Xuanzhu shouted for a while, and suddenly attracted dozens of children in the village, except for those who were still nursing in their arms, all other large and small tall and low places came to line up.

Zhong Yuemin and others brought dozens of catties of candy, fruit candy, milk candy, nougat, and gummy candy were all mixed together, just to let the children in the village taste it.

"That's a lot of children!" Milley also ran over, "You see that the road is unstable, you know to catch candy with clothes!"

As she spoke, she also took a close-up of the child with snot hanging on and wearing a wrapper.

"The village has been rich in the past two years, and many singles have begged their mother-in-law, and if they have begged their mother-in-law, then of course they have to make babies!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Why is it that you can talk about anything so vulgarly when you get there?" Milley gave him a blank look, "I don't understand the funny!"

"I'm a big layman, and there are only a few things in life, what can't I say?" Zhong Yuemin didn't care, "Vulgarity is elegance!"

"Yo, Yuemin, are you teaching people again?" Zheng Tong teased while handing out candy: "It doesn't sound like you can convince people?"

"People make mistakes, horses stumble, such a small setback will not affect the final victory of our revolution!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"Understand, understand!" Zheng Tong said: "You haven't lectured for many years, and it's understandable that your skills have declined a little, don't be sad, go back and organize two open classes for you in the primary school, find out how to feel!"

"No need!" Zhong Yuemin said: "I didn't talk about it seriously, and besides, this girl is not my teaching object, I can't afford to bother with this!"

"Just make excuses······!" Zheng Tong immediately shot back.

"Brother Kuiyong, why can't I understand what Brother Yuemin and Brother Zheng Tong said?" Zhao Xuanzhu pulled Li Kuiyong and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, if you don't understand, these two are grinding their teeth!" Li Kuiyong smiled: "If the two of them don't grind their mouths and brag about the sea for two hours, their whole body will not be comfortable!"

"I understand this!" Zhao Xuanzhu said: "My father squats at the entrance of the village with a bowl every day when he eats, just to talk about the mountains with the villagers, if he can't go out every day, then he will lose his temper while eating!"

Li Kuiyong said: "Hey, that's what happened!"

Milai is still there to get confused, isn't this fighting with himself, why is it that the two of them are bickering while chatting?

"Don't be confused, reporter Mi University, the two of them are born poor, and it has nothing to do with you!" Li Kuiyong kindly reminded.

“······ Who are these people?!"

······

In winter, it gets dark early, and in the evening the whole village eats dinner in the old canteen of the brigade headquarters, which cannot be placed in the house, and there are also more than 20 tables in the barn at the door, and in order to keep warm, three or five bonfires are also built, and the faces of the people who are looking for them are red.

Each table has a large bowl of roasted pork with artichoke, accompanied by braised pork face, stir-fried pickles with large intestines, pork liver, and stewed pig's trotters······ I don't usually have dishes that I can't eat or can't see.

"Come, our village is celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule today, everyone stands up and drinks one!" Chang Gui, the village party secretary, said excitedly: "First of all, welcome Yuemin, Zheng Tong, Kui Yong, and BJ to the rice reporter, and the second one hopes that in the coming year, our village will have a smooth wind and rain, a bumper harvest of grains, and a bumper harvest in the greenhouse!"

"!" everyone toasted happily as they held their bowls aloft.

"Let's let Yuemin talk to everyone!" Chang Gui suggested again.

"Let Yuemin talk about it!"

"Tell me!"

Zhong Yuemin simply stood up, "The villagers are too enthusiastic! I don't know what to say at this moment!"

"Say whatever!" someone shouted.

"Haha·······" Everyone laughed merrily.

Zhong Yuemin cleared his throat, "Folks, I miss you so much!"

······

"Yuemin, why did you come here early in the morning? It's windy, let's go back quickly. Li Kuiyong found Zhong Yuemin and Zhao Xuanzhu in the mountain behind the village early in the morning, "Zhuozhu, you too, why did you bring Yuemin here on such a cold day?"

"I ·····"

Zhong Yuemin said: "Kui Yong, don't blame the bolt pillar, I asked him to bring me here." ”

"Yuemin, what's wrong with you?"

"I drank too much last night, and I woke up early in the morning, so I wanted to come here to see. Zhong Yuemin said: "Right here, it is where Qin Ling and I often meet. ”

“······” Li Kuiyong was silent for a while, "Yuemin, don't blame me for speaking ugly." Qinling has not seen anyone dead or dead for so many years, it is time to end!"

"If you want to tie it up, you just can't tie it!" Zhong Yuemin stood up: "Kui Yong, don't persuade me, go, come with me to Baidian Village to have a look." ”

"Cheng, I'll go with you. Li Kuiyong nodded.

······

"Hey, I said that you don't sleep in the morning, what kind of Baidian Village are you going to?" Zheng Tong began to complain before he got in the car, "You can just go, why do you want to pull me?"

"Zheng Tong, you better say a few words, it's useless to say so much except saliva! Don't you still have to go?" Li Kuiyong stuffed Zheng Tong into the car.

Zheng Tong Zhenzhen said, "Although it is useless, I still have to say that this is my unyielding soul!"

"Bolt, drive!" No one in the car paid any attention to him.

The car drove on the asphalt road for a while, and immediately turned onto a dirt road, and the car began to bump, Zhong Yuemin was very familiar with this road, and he walked on this road no less than a hundred times with two legs.

"Why is this road still so broken?" Zheng Tong began to complain again, and his words were intermittent because of the bumps.

Li Kuiyong said: "You are used to walking on the road, so you feel that this road is broken! If you want to put aside this kind of hard road before, you have to go to Amitabha!"

"It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift!" Zheng Tong sighed: "It seems that I can only eat and wait for death in the future!"

"Don't be so pessimistic! I believe that you will still have a chance to endure hardships in the future, don't worry!" Zhong Yuemin said.

"Don't, then let me eat and wait to die, I will definitely persevere to the end, and I will never complain about boredom!" Zheng Tong hurriedly shook his head.

"Oh, that's a pity, I'll take you to the evil American Empire to see the dire waters of capitalism!" Zhong Yuemin said pitifully: "It seems that you can't stand that suffering, so I'll take Kui Yong with me." ”

"Hey, wait!" Zheng Tong hurriedly retorted, "I thought about it, young people still have to be able to endure hardships, just like the so-called young and strong don't work hard, the boss is sad!

"Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

"Don't be afraid! I won't go to hell, who will go to hell!" Zheng Tong cut the railway.

"Haha······" Li Kuiyong and Zhao Xuanzhu couldn't help but laugh.

······

The educated youth point in Baidian Village has long been empty, the door is empty, the window paper is also tattered, and the inside is full of dust.

Li Kuiyong looked everywhere where he lived back then, quite sad.

"The last one to go back to the city has been gone for three years, and in the end, none of us have been able to have a casual meal. ”

"It's good to go, at least it's all settled. Zheng Tong said: "The longer you stay here, the more depressed you become, the days become day by day, there is no end, and you can drive people crazy!"

"Yes, when I went back to the city, I ran away like a refugee, and now it's to run here and say anything!" Li Kuiyong said.

"Is this the kang where the female intellectuals live?" Zhong Yuemin suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's here, the position against the wall is where Qin Ling sleeps!" Li Kuiyong said, "Oh, by the way, there seems to be a box here, it's Qin Ling's stuff!"

Li Kuiyong said as he took out a small wooden box from the kang hole, blew off the dust on it, and opened it, "Qinling was in a hurry that year, so he took some clothes and left, and the rest of the things were all packed here." ”

Zhong Yuemin fumbled into the box, and he found a small mirror, a few books, and a scarf.

"Is this red scarf still here?"

"Yes, this is Qin Ling's favorite red scarf, she wears it every time she goes to Houya to see you······"

Zheng Tong pulled Li Kuiyong and raised his chin towards Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin caressed the scarf, and tears couldn't help but drip down.
