Autumn has arrived, and the breeze is blowing, revealing a hint of coolness. The land of Pingdong is full of vitality and full of the joy of harvest. The rooster crows three times, and the rural people have begun to get up, feed the cattle with grass, and arrange plows, palladium, fertilizers, grappling hooks, hammers and other farm tools to plow the fields. When the fish belly is white in the east, the rooster crows down the tree, the cattle and sheep cry, the mist in the distance slowly rises, turns into wisps of clouds and smoke, drowned in the morning light, leaving a strong local atmosphere, "oh, oh, hoo, pop" of the cattle voice, the south and north shuttle, busy, the greeting of the face, talking about the joy of the harvest, the joy of high-quality wheat varieties, rippling around, the field is full of vitality, lively and extraordinary.

On this day, Wu Pingshun and his youngest son Wu Xiaojun still came to the cornfield early as usual, and by the time dawn, they had already broken a cart full of corn. The father and son were loading the corn truck and pulling it home, and the fat boy in the village pushed the cart to the edge of the field. At this time, the corn of the whole village has been harvested, except for some late cotton, the fields have been emptied, and many people are driving cattle to plow the land or throwing fertilizer, but the corn of the two families is still standing.

The fat boy came up first to say hello: "Pingshun, Xiaojun, why did you two go to work in the field so early, see that the whole village is left with our two families, my family has a lot of land, many children, and small, I really can't help it, I can't be busy." Pingshun, you plant more than ten acres of land, although there are many children and grandchildren, they are too selfish, each takes care of their own affairs, and no one helps you work, it is really too unreasonable, I really worry about you. ”

Wu Pingshun saw someone talking, so he took a break by the way, so he sat on the ground, took out a cigarette and handed it to the fat boy, and the two chatted while smoking. Wu Xiaojun filled the woven bag with corn cobs and sorted out the car, which was really a lot, and it was full of cars.

"Alas! There is no way, the two sons of the family are thinking about my acres of land all day long, and they just want to get their hands on it one day earlier, which is what they deliberately made me do. Xiaojun hasn't got a family yet, my business hasn't been done yet, and I'm a rural person, I'm almost sixty years old, I have no capital to do business, I can't go out to work, I can only rely on these few acres of land, all handed over to them, what to do with Xiaojun's affairs, they have children and daughters, they can't see this, don't think about it for me and Xiaojun. Just want me to fall behind and watch my jokes from the sidelines. You also know the temper of this person, the more they are like this, the more I will not give it to me, and I would rather be wasted and give it to someone else to plant than to give it to someone like them." The words were full of anger and helplessness. After speaking, he lowered his head and took a puff of colored butterfly cigarettes.

"Pingshun, although your eldest and second child continue to give you anger, the family discord does make you suffer a lot. But you are blessed, the two daughters' families are good, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, the four sons go directly to Yuanzhen County Hospital after graduating from college, whoever has a major illness or a minor illness, they all go to him, see a doctor in a timely manner, don't spend much, and have a good attitude, but you can help our fellow villagers a lot, which is all your credit."

"What credit is not credit, we are farmers, there is no interest, the child's temper is better, he has never suffered since he was a child, he doesn't care about anything, he does this line of work, it should be."

"That's not the same, look at your fourth child who is going to college again, a family has two college students, in the west of our city, ten miles and eight villages, but there is only one of you, this is your long-term cultivation of blessings."

"Uncle Fat Boy, you can't say that, it's different now than before, there are more people going to college."

The fat boy turned his face and asked Xiaojun, "I heard that I still have to study medicine, right, Xiaojun?" ”。

"Yes, it is the same school as my third brother, and it is both Pingxi Medical College."

"Okay, Pingxi is a good place, and it is an ancient capital, famous at home and abroad, a big place, when will school start?"

"I'm going to report the day after tomorrow."

"Since your second sister went out four years ago, you are in high school, while planting more than ten acres of land with your father and your mother, your two brothers look red, and make your father and mother angry everywhere, you run at both ends, it is not easy to be admitted to university, you must study hard in the future, be a good doctor like your third brother, and win glory on your father's face."

"Fat boy, the situation of my family is known to the whole village, and there is no way, I go to school, far away from home, it's not like I'm here, I can come back at any time, my father and mother swallow their anger, work day and night, it's all for me, I will not let them down."

At this time, Xiaojun had already packed up the car, and Wu Pingshun didn't dare to delay any more time, so he stood up, Xiaojun put the climbing rope on his shoulder, drove the handlebar with both hands, and pulled the car on the road. There were too many cars on the car, and the army boasted a few times forward, but the car didn't move. Wu Pingshun and the fat boy hurriedly came over, pushed forward from behind, and pulled and pushed five times in a row, and finally got the car out of the void to the road. It is much easier to walk on the road, although the country road is narrow, but because there are more people and cars passing by, the road surface is light and hard, and the car is not so laborious, but the two of them have also spent a lot of effort one after the other, and they have walked less than fifty meters, and they are already sweating profusely.

The village is not big, more than 300 people, the whole village has always sympathized with Wu Pingshun's family of three, more than ten acres of land, so that the old couple is really uncomfortable, the two sons in the family are already full of children and grandchildren, they are in the prime of life, and the acres of land are small, the two families add up to not as much as them, three under five divided by two is not effortless, it will be done soon, and it will be cleaned up. Slowly, pulling crops on the road, sending manure, fertilizer, and anti-farm tools to the fields, there are talking and laughing, and there are many people coming and going. When they walked in front of them, everyone bowed their heads in unison, not only out of sympathy, but also unwilling to be seen and heard by their eldest son, second son and their families, causing unnecessary trouble, unwilling or afraid to accosting them, so they passed quietly. The two of them only cared about lowering their heads and pulling the cart, and they couldn't care so much.

The corn field is not far from home, about 400 meters, out of the field, 40 meters to the east, turn north and go straight, pass two plots to the entrance of the village, turn two corners to reach home. As he was walking, he suddenly heard a quarrel in the ground.

Wu Pingshun slowed down, raised his head slightly, and glanced to the left side along the voice, the eldest son Xiaofu was at the border of Zhaodi with his third brother Pingchun, the two of them were arguing, one was carrying a grappling hook in his hand, the other was holding a hammer in his hand, each with his own son helping on the side, and some villagers who were working stopped to watch the excitement.

Wu Pingshun understood in his heart that this was the eldest son who came to him and deliberately looked for trouble. Although Wu Pingshun was angry in his heart and knew what was going on, it was inconvenient for him to step forward to stop it, suppress his anger, and urge Xiaojun to hurry up and pull the car. In fact, Xiaojun is also used to seeing the boss's plan, neither looking up to see what is going on, nor talking, and keeps moving forward, after all, time is very limited, and he is about to leave this land of right and wrong, if he can help his father and mother do more, he will do a little more, and reduce the burden of his father and mother. But it backfired, you didn't look for trouble, and it did hit you directly.

As she was moving forward, the old family's daughter-in-law, Jona, hurriedly and angrily led the cow to meet her, and kept shouting: "I can't live this day, the old and the young are bullying me, you damn thing is also bullying me, telling you to hurry up and leave, you are slow, and the whole family will be beaten to death if it is a little later." ”

"Do you know how to say something human, who are you scolding, people in their forties, they can't say a word and do some personnel." Wu Pingshun really couldn't listen to it, this was the eldest daughter-in-law insinuating and scolding herself, and she couldn't help but be angry, and then she continued.

"What's the matter with you, I'm scolding my own animals, and I haven't scolded you." As he spoke, he used the bullwhip in his hand to jerk at the cow, and the painful cow only barked and scurried on all fours.

This eldest daughter-in-law's family is not good, her parents died when she was young, she grew up with her grandparents, she never went to school, she often went out to ask for food since she was a child, and her experience when she was young created a small family with a very heavy temperament, not very educated, snarky, often doing some unreasonable things, saying something that beats people, and makes people unacceptable, which leads to the blessing of brothers and sisters to quarrel with them from time to time, becoming the biggest source of family disharmony and direct promoter, and relatives and neighbors are also respectful of it. Wu Pingshun and Xiaojunniang have never had a good impression of this daughter-in-law, and Xiaojun has never taken this sister-in-law into their eyes, and they hate it.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was talking more and more, Xiaojun couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stopped, and let go of the handlebar, "What do you want to do?" Deliberately looking for trouble, isn't it? ”

"What's the matter, you are the elder, the cow is raised by me, I can quarrel if I want, I can fight if I want, it's really nosy."

"What do you like to do in your own house, that's the cow's own business, you are here to scold Huai, to scold the east and the west, you will not be hit."

"I'm just scolding, what if you don't hit you."

"What's the matter, I'll let you know today what I can do." As he spoke, Xiao Junzong took a step forward, grabbed his sister-in-law's hand and kicked his hips back.

Xiaojun is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, although he has been going to school, but he is not a weak scholar, and he is also a person who often works in the fields, can pull carts, drive cattle, raise the field, and carry hundreds of pounds of grain bags on his back, and has a lot of strength. How could Jona stand it, as soon as her hand was released, the reins of the cow fell off, and the big yellow cow shook off its hooves and ran back to the village. The soles of Jona's feet slipped and she fell on all sides. The army kicked him in the hip several times, grabbed his right hand, and opened his bow left and right, fanning his mouth like a bean. The movement was so fast that it was difficult for Jona to react. Wu Pingshun saw that the anger of the service army came up, and hurriedly pulled the service army away. Seeing that Xiaojun was stopped by the child's father, Qiao Na was afraid that she would suffer another loss, so she crawled and got up, got up and ran to her own place like a wolf, looking for Xiaofu and her son.

In fact, when the fight started here, others didn't know what was going on, and because it was closer, they could see it very clearly here, and naturally, they didn't care about the quarrel. Xiaofu's son saw that Xiaojun beat his mother, quit, and was about to find Xiaojun desperately with a grappling hook to avenge his mother, but was stopped by Xiaofu and his uncle Xiaoliang. "What do you want to do?" Xiao Liang roared angrily, his eyes shining sharply, staring straight at the world.

"He beat my mother, and I gave him a hard time."

"Nonsense, adult's business, how can you intervene in the child's house, your business, get out of the way, what should you do."

"Xiaofu, your family's affairs are also complicated and difficult to manage, I didn't want to pay attention to your affairs, you have gone too far, you are not afraid of relatives and friends, the old and young masters of the whole village see jokes, they are all dozens of years old, and they don't want to have a little face. If you don't help your uncle work, you won't help, you shouldn't make trouble at this time, no matter who caused it, you shouldn't. ”

After Xiao Liang's reprimand, Xiao Fu squatted on the ground and smoked without saying a word. The world is not as arrogant as it was just now. Only Joanna sat on the ground crying for her father and mother, Xiao Liang glared at her, turned around and went to her own field to drive livestock to plough the land.

On Wu Pingshun's side, under the persuasion of several villagers, the atmosphere also eased, and the father and son pulled the corn home in anger. Xiaojunniang saw that the father and son's faces were wrong, and she didn't know what was going on, "Xiaojun, why did you two come back so late, you only pulled back a car in the morning, hurry up and finish it, your father will send you to Longbai to report the day after tomorrow, the time is tight enough." ”

"Mother, I'm dying of popularity, and my eldest brother's family is deliberately looking for trouble again." Xiaojun explained the matter before and after. After hearing this, Xiao Junniang almost fainted with anger.
