Let's say that Ye Zi asked the dog baby to teach his sister and younger brother to read and count, but Ergou was not interested, he only knew how to play, and even got into a fight with the neighbor's children.

At this time, there was no television in the village, and there were few radios, so playing hide and seek, playing with mud, reading picture books (that is, villain books), and listening to stories were the children's daily fun.

Although the mother-in-law of the Liang family said that she brought her children to beg for food, the old man lived in a large family in his early years, not to mention that he had studied, at least he was exposed to some culture, so he could also tell some stories to the children, such as Yang Jiajiang, Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, head hanging beam, cone thorn strand and so on.

At this time, there were few entertainment activities in the village, except for the boys playing basketball, singing a song during the New Year, occasionally the commune film team came to show a movie, and the county blind propaganda team came to tell a story.

A few blind people on crutches, erhus, and drums on their backs went around the village to tell stories. The village arranged for them to live in a nest and eat pie meals.

Blind people are illiterate, and the content of the story is passed on by word of mouth, which is very vivid and fascinating, and children and adults like to listen to it, even when it is cold, they can sit in the open air and listen to it in the middle of the night without sleeping.

The farmer's child grew up day by day in such a hard and free way.

On this day, not long after the dog baby entered the third grade of primary school, the teacher wanted to take him and a female classmate in the class to a neighboring village school to hold a moral, intellectual, and physical opening meeting.

Early in the morning, the dog baby took a notebook and pencil, and took a bun from the circle (the circle, which is a tool used to put buns in the persimmon bay area, mostly made of cast iron), cut a green onion, packed it with a schoolbag made by her mother, and rode a bicycle and left with the teacher and classmates.

In early spring, the northwest wind was blowing and it was very dry. It will be held on the big playground of someone's school. The playground made of loess was full of teachers and students from various villages.

The teacher introduces the experience, the students speak, the leader speaks, and the loudspeaker is particularly loud. Although it is not cold, the floating soil that is blown up by the wind from time to time makes you unable to open your eyes.

At lunchtime, teachers and students eat their own dry food. But the dog baby didn't eat, he said he wasn't hungry.

In fact, the dog baby was not hungry, he also brought dry food, but he refused to take it out of the book to eat. In this way, the dog baby had a day of meeting hungry, and did not come back with the teacher and classmates until the second half of the day.

Many years later, the dog baby half-jokingly told the reason. It turned out that he saw that the buns taken out by others were better than his, and they were all cornmeal and wheat flour and steamed cakes together, which were beautiful, fluffy and delicious.

The only bun he brought was steamed with pure sorghum flour, which was ugly, hard and untasty. He was embarrassed to take it out and starved for a day.

Indeed, the buns of pure sorghum flour are not only ugly and black, but also almost difficult to make well, and the iron porcelain is difficult to gnaw when it is cold, and it is sticky if steamed.

Therefore, most people have some conditions, and when making sorghum bread, they will mix some wheat noodles in it, so that it can be made better and the color is slightly better.

One afternoon in the summer of this year, a lot of people gathered at the gate of Yunling's village, more than a dozen small flat cars and several rubber carriages came back one after another, and the young and middle-aged men shouted and carefully lowered the telephone poles.

Unlike telephone poles, these poles are made of reinforced concrete, which is thick, long, and heavy. The villagers were smiling, and the village was about to be electrified.

A few days later, the electricians who had participated in the training returned, and the telephone poles were erected in the streets and alleys, and soon the wires were pulled into the homes.

Guiwa didn't know where to get a few big bulbs, and when she went home, they were very bright, but after a while, the filament burned out. Replace one after another, and scrap several light bulbs one after another.

Puzzled, Guiwa took the burned-out bulb to the electrician, only to learn that the bulbs she got were all 110 volts and could not be used, making a joke.

It didn't take long for the village to install a loudspeaker and a loudspeaker set up high in the tree. The loudspeaker rang all day long, either to notify the meeting, to call someone to the village, or to play the model opera record, which was rare and quiet.

However, during the Spring Festival, this tweeter is particularly good for singing on the stage, with bright electric lights and loud amplification, the people of the village are really enjoyable to watch.

The days also passed quickly, and the New Year passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, the commune came to hold a general meeting of its members. The weather was cold, and the whole village, young and old, men and women, with small stools, and corn leaf mats, sat in the courtyard in front of the brigade department.

The brigade headquarters sits in the north and faces south, with a single wooden table and a wooden bench in front of the door. The secretary of the village party committee and the director of the village revolutionary committee sat on the bench on the left and the right, and the commune cadres sat in the middle of the bench.

First of all, he conveyed the document of the higher authorities, "three wants and three don'ts", saying that it is necessary to unite, not to split, not to make factionalism, and to grasp revolution and promote production.

Then, the decision of a commune was announced, saying that the village had a large population and was difficult to manage, and it was decided to divide each production squad into two and turn it into a small accounting unit, which would facilitate the transfer of the peasants' enthusiasm for production.

After the meeting, a meeting of village cadres and squad cadres was held. As a result, this faction and that gang were freely combined, and the original four production teams were divided into eight production teams.

The arable land, livestock, threshing fields, rubber carts, and so on were also redivided according to the size of the population of each squad.

You also said that the commune's trick was quite clever, and the teams secretly competed with each other to see which team was united in their hearts and see which team did a good job, and the atmosphere in the village was much more positive, and there were much fewer quarrels and fewer fights. The dealer is comfortable in his heart.

On this day, there was a rare spring rain, and I couldn't go to work, so a group of people gathered under the locust tree on the well platform. Stirring water (although there is a pool in the village, which is the tap water in the village; but there is still some water in the old well, this water is delicious, and the villagers still like to come to the old well to stir water), chatting and chatting, and inserting the party.

Insertion, similar to a game of chess, is to draw a chessboard-like square on the ground, in which both sides walk sticks and small clods of earth to win or lose.

"Hey, what's the news?" "The news? Avenue news or the gossip?" "Hey, what else are the avenue people asking, you don't know if you have a meeting at a sky-high price, you still need to say it." ”

"Hehe, you're well-informed, tell me about it, it's related to us. "What is related? What is it related and what is irrelevant. ”

"Hey, if you don't do that, people will talk about it, this is not it. "Hey, who's that, bring your smoking pot and give it to you." ”

"Hey, everyone, listen, why do you let your forehead take out a cigarette. "That's not it, you're okay, and you're talking. "Haha, this stubble of cigarettes has been entertained by you. ”

"Heck, take it, you're not the stingy kind of person. "Well, come, give us a taste. ”

"Haha, I don't have to eat your pot. Yes, of course. "Okay, let's eat, let's talk quickly, everyone waits." "Well, listen. "Oh, let's talk about it. ”

"I heard that all the land in Anhui has been divided. "Really?" "Damn, what are you doing lying?" "What's the point?" "I heard that place is poorer than ours." "Oh. ”

"Oh, people say that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. "You nonsense, this has nothing to do with the bad water of the poor mountains. "Oops, Sensei, go on. "What the hell is going on?"

"I heard that the village felt that it was not possible to work together, so they divided the land into individual households. "Oh. "Guess what?" "What?" "After the breakup, no one asks for food." ”

"Want food?" "Ah, that place is bitter and scorched, and once upon a time, it was the origin of the rice that was wanted. "Damn, Zhu Yuanzhang. "Oh. ”

"It's definitely outside, the land is divided into households, they all have planted the land well, it's enough to eat, who wants food." ”

"It's just that in this team, it's not good. It's still assigned to individual households, and they must have done a good job. "I also said that I would do it for my own family, who wouldn't do it well." "That's right. ”

"Hey, don't care if you dare to go up. "Damn, no one asks for food, that's not a good thing, who cares." "That's right. ”

"Listen to his nonsense, how can the top not care. "That's right, who dares to take such a risk, there are still miles above. ”

"It must be the top of the people who speaks for the people. "I heard that every household has their handprints. ”

"Oh, at least the village cadres support the people. "It's not enough to be a village cadre alone. "That's right, I'm afraid it's all that in the county and the province. ”

"Then what you said, we're going to be this piece soon?" "I don't know, I didn't suppress it anyway. "Outside, I'm afraid the upper echelons have that meaning. "Who knows. "Knowing and not knowing is secondary. ”

"You don't believe it. And secondly, what's the main thing? "Hey, it's mainly up to us here. ”

"That is, in this team, if you don't work hard, you can't do it well, you don't have enough to eat, and the rain in the past two years dares to be crooked, it's not that it's not good to plant. "That's it, it's divided into families, who is willing to do this." ”

"I'm afraid I can see it on my head. "What's going on?" "It's not clear, but it's better to divide it." ”

"I don't know when this wind will blow to us. "Oh, it's boiling, if there is no one up there to stop it, it's also fast, one to ten, ten to hundred." ”

"What you said is not an infectious disease, and it is spread ten, ten or hundred. "Well, you really don't think it's like a contagion. "Hey, the more you talk about it, the more you don't like it, how can you say that it's an infectious disease, it's a spark that fires the prairie is." ”

"yes, that's pretty much it. It's not going to be the other way yet, so let's talk about myself as the opposite. "Dare to be the opposite, or we are uneducated, so we can't say it." "Oh, you two are fighting cocks, talking about business, what are you doing with that mouth. ”

"Let's just talk about this self-reserved land, which self-reserved land you have grows better than the team's land. "I also said that it is better to do it for my own family than to do it for the team. "That's it. ”

"By that alone, it's clear from above. "What do you know?" "You can't even use your brain, just ask this, alas." "Hey, you're interjecting, listen to other people's analysis. "Hey, hey. ”

"Well, it is good that the upper authorities should know what to do. "Ah, outside, yes, unless he doesn't think about our people. "Yes. "Oh, after all these years of chaos, it's time to have a good time. "Yes. ”

In this way, a few people chatted and went back.

Indeed, in the era when there was no television, listening to books also taught the villagers the ability to tell stories.

It's interesting to look at the person who talks gossip with a nose and eyes on his eyebrows, as if he is the person in question.

As for whether these gossip are true or not, it doesn't really matter, the key is its hint and boosting effect, just like the fish-white light in the east before dawn, which can give people joy and hope.
