Let's say that this spring, that is, the afternoon when the school has just opened, the weather is very good, and the tweeter in Yunling said that movies will be shown in the evening, and records of model dramas will be inserted from time to time. In the second half of the morning, on the square in front of the stage, the grinding motor "doodoo" rang non-stop.

In the monotonous and boring countryside, playing movies is a great pleasure, and the children are so happy, as soon as they get out of school, they hurry home to fight the stool and come to the square to occupy the nest. Before it got dark, there were already rows of stools on the small square, high and low, long and short, bustling.

The dog baby led her sister to crowd into the crowd at the movie machine, curiously watching the projectionist fiddle with the machine. "Dog baby!" The dog baby looked back, and it turned out that the neighbor Sanwa was calling him. "Hey, why didn't you go to school yesterday? Teacher Zhang asked you to go. ”

"Oh, I don't know, I didn't come back from my uncle until noon. "Then you should hurry up early tomorrow morning." "Hmm. And just like that, the dog baby entered the school gate.

Yunling Village is relatively large, and the primary and junior high schools are continuous, called seven-year schools. Slogans such as "Education for Revolution, School Duration for Shortening" were written on the earthen walls of the school. In the classroom, above the blackboard is a portrait and a slogan of "study hard, make progress every day". The school holidays correspond to the agricultural season, and the spring is suitable for school.

On the first day of school, the dog baby said to her mother Yezi: "Mom, the school requires everyone to bring a quotation book." "Oh, what are you doing with a quotation book?" "The teacher said that in the first class every day, everyone should stand up, wave the quotation book and shout 'I wish everyone a long life and good health'. ”

"Oh. There is one on the table in the house, you take it. The dog baby hurriedly ran over: "Is this it? Mom." "Well, you take that little one. "Hmm. The dog baby took it and wiped the plastic skin with the sleeve of her jacket. "Put it in the school bag, and I forgot it when I went out in the morning. "That's it...... It's old. "Plastic skin, wipe it with a damp rag and it's new." "Hmm. ”

At this time, the first and second grade students of elementary school generally used "stone pens" to write on "stone tablets", and only when they were promoted to the third grade did they start to use pencils and notebooks.

The school advocates thrift and thrift, and the student's pencil should be used until the size of the jujube core will be thrown, and the book is also used on the front and back side, and the book is cut into 32K with a large sheet of white paper, and then bound with a needle and thread.

Slogans such as "The Resurgence of Intellectual Education" are painted on the dirt walls of the school, but because of the deep-rooted tradition of respecting teachers and valuing education, teachers and parents attach great importance to children's learning.

Generally, parents will say to the teacher: If the child does not study well, you can beat it. Therefore, it is normal for naughty children to be criticized at school, or even beaten by teachers, and no parent has ever found the school because of the teacher beating their children.

On this morning, the teacher was taking the dog to learn Hanyu Pinyin on the blackboard outside, while other classes were doing morning exercises. The dog baby thinks it's funny, so he looks back from time to time.

Unexpectedly, when he was discovered, the teacher picked up the whip stick and knocked it on the dog's head, and reprimanded him with "gritted teeth": "Let you see! Let you see!" The dog was in great pain, but when she returned home, she didn't dare to tell her family.

The dog baby is not very clever, but she is very serious about learning. After school, the teacher made the best grades of the day rank first, and the dog baby only lined up once or twice.

Probably from the second semester of the second grade, the dog's grades ranked in the top few in the class, and later became the class committee. The head teacher praised the dog baby for her open-mindedness and good composition. However, the teacher also criticized the dog baby for being proud and complacent from time to time.

Teachers often ask good students in the upper grades to tutor poor students in the lower grades. At first, it was a senior tutor dog baby, but then the dog baby went to tutor other children. In the evening, he took the small blackboard to his classmates' homes to "give lectures", and he was like a little teacher with every move. Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, there were no televisions, let alone computers, but there were picture books, storytelling sessions, and cable broadcasting. Among the teachers, there are those who can play the flute and harmonica, and there are also those who can play the erhu and the organ.

The school has a literary and artistic propaganda team, some play foreign trumpets, foreign drums, and allegro, and rehearse programs from time to time.

From time to time, the school invited old and poor peasants to reminisce about the bittersweet feelings. At this time, the teacher would lead the students to wave their fists and shout slogans such as "Don't forget the class suffering, remember the blood and tears, don't forget the people who dig wells, study hard, and make progress every day".

When the dog baby was in the third grade, the school started to "open the door to run a school", the teacher took the students to plant experimental fields, cut wheat, pick cotton, and the dog baby also learned fruit tree grafting.

There are two basic methods for fruit tree grafting, one is called bonding method and the other is called embedding method. Of course, the bonding method is also divided into "I" shaped bonding method and "D" shaped bonding method. Like persimmon trees, most of them are grafted with embedding. Of course, that's another story.

The children of the farmer do not eat idle food for ten years. Elementary school students are required to participate in the work of the production team on Sundays, as well as during winter, wheat and autumn vacations. Younger students do light jobs like tying knots, mowing grass, gleaning ears of wheat, and so on. The older students worked with the adults to prune the land, pull dung, spread dung, plough the land, harrow the land, cut wheat, fork cotton, pick cotton, and so on.

When I came back from school, the dog baby was busy helping my mother with housework, or going to collect firewood, mowing grass, or lighting a fire, warming a kang, or feeding pigs, cleaning or something. When washing dishes, I can't reach the stove, so the dog baby stands on a small stool to wash. After doing the housework, the dog baby did her homework under the kerosene lamp.

Ye Zi wanted to teach the dog baby to spin cotton, but the dog baby resolutely refused to do it, saying that it was a girl's business. However, when he was in elementary school, the dog baby learned to mix noodle soup and cook millet porridge, and after going to school, he gradually learned to mix noodles, brand noodles and cakes, roll out noodles and so on. These are all gossip, so I won't go into details.

At this time, the villages around Persimmon Bay, especially in Yunling and Liuwan, which cannot be watered with the water of the Fen River, in the dry season, especially in early spring, the sky does not rain, not only the land is dry and difficult to plow, but also the ploughing is a piece of knots. Crops cannot be sown in the knots, and even if they are planted, they will not sprout because the knots cannot be covered.

Therefore, the team had to arrange for men and women to line up to tie the knot, the men were energetic and tied the big knots in the front, and the women were small and tied the small knots in the back.

Because of the dryness, people are very angry, and they often have to eat sour rice and drink sour soup. The sour rice here is to add some vinegar to the noodle soup, and the sour soup is to add some vinegar to the noodle soup, whether it is sour rice or sour soup, green onions are indispensable.

This is the faction in the village that is still making trouble, but unlike previous years, it is mixed with the family power. Many villages in this area have surnames in their names, and even those that do not bear surnames are mostly dominated by two or three families with surnames. No, the faction fight in Yunling evolved into a battle between the two families of Sun and Liu.

Maybe it's also because of the drought, people are angry, and they quarrel and fight in the morning and evening, whether in the field or in the alley, and they do it from time to time.

When something happens, as soon as the patriarch speaks, the whole clan responds, and the party with more young men is naturally more powerful. There are also those who don't want to die, carrying knives and wooden sticks to fight in groups, being beaten to the hospital, and even leaving a lifelong disability.

After the wheat is planted, the village branch is re-elected. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang, who had been the branch secretary for more than ten years, was not re-elected and only became a branch committee.

This Lao Zhang is a well-known beater maker in several nearby villages (beater, is a derogatory nickname for people who can speak well in the persimmon bay area), and he is also the leader of the Yunling faction. He never thought that this time he was calculated by his "military advisor".

The military advisor of this faction, surnamed Liu, looks like a scheming and calculating, and is known as Liu Lao. In the struggle between the two factions, Liu Lao can be said to have made great contributions. This Liu Lao has always had a wish, that is, he wants to join the party.

But Lao Zhang was afraid that Liu Lao would endanger his position as the branch secretary after he entered, so he always prevaricated Liu Lao with various excuses, telling Liu Lao this time that Zhang San did not agree, and the next time he said that Li Si was against it.

Later, Liu Lao successively settled them all, and Lao Zhang said that the above did not agree, and he always turned Liu Lao away, and he couldn't get his wish.

However, Liu Lao is not a vegetarian, and as the days went by, he gradually saw through Lao Zhang's tricks, and it turned out that he Lao Zhang himself did not agree. So, in the process of this branch re-election, Liu Lao secretly used a little trick, so that Lao Zhang unexpectedly lost the election.

This Lao Zhang is an out-and-out official fan, how can he be convinced? So, he went to the commune and the county, and even cheekily found the new branch secretary's home in the end. "Xiao Wang, you are young, you can't do this book, that gang of thieves is the hell. "Then you have to support the amount. ”

"Oh, it's not a matter of supporting or not supporting, you can't do it, let's let it go to Egan!" "This is chosen, the commune has approved it, why should I give it to you?" "Hey, you just have a meeting and give the branch secretary to Egan." "Didn't the boss say it, according to the election results? "Elections? If it weren't for the ghosts, there would have been a vote. ”

"Everyone chooses it, how can it be so good. "It's all right, the commune will definitely agree. Xiao Wang, why can't you see through it, people let you be cannon fodder. "Hey, hey. ”

"You still don't believe it, only E-Neng can clean them up, so let's let E-gan do it. "This ......" That night, Xiao Wang did not promise Lao Zhang. After that, Lao Zhang looked for Xiao Wang several times in succession, but was politely declined.

This matter later spread, and Lao Zhang lost his popularity in the village. The commune did not support him, and there was no one in the village to follow him, so he was isolated all of a sudden. After the eldest daughter got married, Lao Zhang moved to his ancestral village with his wife and children.

As for that old Liu, the successor branch secretary was also afraid that he would play tricks, so he still didn't let him in. Later, I heard that Liu Lao was finally listed as a development target, but he was reported by his past enemies, saying that he liked to play cards and gamble, and as a result, Liu Lao's affairs were in the soup again, and he was still rejected from the door of the organization. Idlers don't mention it.

On this day, Ye Zi returned to her mother's house in Liuwan. During the meal, I listened to my mother gossip a few words about Huan'er. Ye Zi never thought that after only half a year, Huan'er had such a big change. Everyone and friends, Ye Zi is not a taste in his heart.
