The scenery and honor of Wu Laomo also made Gui Fang feel particularly decent and happy, and the children also had a sense of security in society. Time has come to 1955, and at this time, the Wu family has successively added the fourth son Wu Shi and the fifth son Wu Hua. Wu Laomo and his wife devote themselves to the work of the village, and have no intention of running their family's business, and the general farm is complete with pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese, but his family only has sporadic chickens, ducks and a mouthful of pigs.

At this time, it was at the peak of agricultural cooperatives, and food and clothing were completely dependent on the collective, and there were already signs of increasing difficulties in the life of the family with few laborers and a large population. In this year, he gave birth to six sons, Wu Wei, and the burden of life was all on the old Wu and the eldest at once, Gui Fang was busy with heavy housework because she had an elderly and frail mother-in-law and young son to take care of. Lao Wu and his wife looked at Wu Quan, who was growing up, busy with Zhang Luo's marriage, and the elderly and sick mother kept urging them to hold their great-grandson in a hurry, and many girls from neighboring villages fell in love with the boss. Wu Quan looked at the situation of the family, the second and third children have successively reached the school age to increase the family's expenses, if he gets married, the bride price wedding will undoubtedly make the family worse, he is determined to postpone his marriage, share the worries of his parents, and create conditions for his younger brothers to go to school. Although there are many children of Wu Laomo, they are all boys, Wu Laomo wants girls very much, it is really a wish, in 1957, Gui Fang gave birth to a little girl, named Wu Shuang. Wu Laomo's father and himself are single-handed, to his next generation changed the genetic route, children in groups, many sons and many blessings and longevity in the second year after Wu Shuang, Wu Laomo went to the province to meet on the way back, saw that the village team members were digging a big vegetable cellar, he also went to join the ranks of digging vegetable cellars, he and another person carried the log with the beam of the vegetable cellar just walked to their respective positions on both sides, and the person who partnered did not say hello and shook his shoulders to form a downward momentum on his own shoulder. Lao Wu flashed and unfortunately fell into the vegetable cellar and was seriously injured, and the commune arranged for hospitalization. In this way, the family population is already large and the children are relatively small, and the burden of life all falls on Gui Fang and Wu Quan at once, Gui Fang has to work and take care of the family, get up early and be tired late, and she looks very haggard in her early forties, but she has a strong temperament and gritted her teeth and persists. Fortunately, the township considered that the model worker was injured in the line of duty and was a provincial model worker, so he saw a doctor for free, and considered that he could not do farm work for a while after he recovered from his illness, so he arranged to go to the township supply and marketing cooperatives to become a state-owned worker. The second brother graduated from the primary school in the village and couldn't bear to continue his studies when he saw the scene at home, but the eldest persuaded his parents to let the second brother continue his education, and the second brother chose a normal school with reduced tuition fees. Such a choice undoubtedly means that the boss himself has to continue to delay his marriage. The children wore shabby hollow jackets and cotton pants exposed with exposed cotton in winter, and open-toed cotton shoes on their feet. Gui Fang also wanted to borrow grain and money from relatives or neighbors, but people didn't dare to borrow for fear that they couldn't afford to borrow it. The eldest marriage made Gui Fang even more worried, and she was determined to do the boss's marriage in advance, but there was no money at home, so she had to borrow money from relatives. As the saying goes, emergency relief is not to help the poor, borrowing money from the poor is throwing money into the stove pit, it is meat buns and beating dogs without returning, no wonder the rich people see the poor come to borrow money and are ruthless, and use money to fill the poverty pit, but they can't fill it. In desperation, Gui Fang gave up her face to borrow money from her half-sister's house, and walked into someone's house. That mouth is really hard to open, and you have to say it if it's hard to say. Originally, my sister's family had a small population and labor, and she had just sold a pig, but she refused. Gui Fang heard her sister say that she had no money, and suddenly felt that it was obviously broad daylight, and the blow of disappointment was almost collapsed, and she didn't know how to get out of the door of her sister's house. On the way home, Gui Fang dimly thought that Lao Wu had a distant uncle and brother, and when Lao Wu was the secretary in the past, the two families were very affectionate, so they walked towards his house, but when they thought of the brother and daughter-in-law, they were a little cold and timid, and their steps became more and more heavy

In the past few years, Gui Fang's ears have almost been filled with the discussion of the villagers about her family, that is, she is too poor, the boy who is already seven or eight years old in the summer has to bare-bottom, and in the winter, he is barely wearing a shabby cotton coat full of patches and exposed cotton, so that the little daughter can be dressed neatly, the kang is a dirty and broken reed woven with scattered flowers to expose the kang soil, the kang cabinet in the corner of the house is randomly stacked with shabby bedding, the cabinet door is open, and there are shabby clothes piled up in a mess, and the naughty child hangs on the cabinet door and plays swings. An old lady from a neighbor passed by the window and saw this scene and sighed, "You don't have anything of value in your cabinet?" At the end of the year, during the Chinese New Year, I worked hard to save a few dollars for an old snack to make dumplings. Some people threaten to have a woman who does not marry the old Wu family, the uncle and sister, short head, and a waist, collapsed nose bridge, chin rolled, eyes deep sunken face narrow, looks as if they have been kneaded by something on the face in the growth, the facial features are disproportionately pinched, its appearance is not good, its voice is not right, its heart is not good, its words are hurtful, saying that the money of the old Wu family is not as much as the change in her family's sewing basket, and her family is enough for the old Wu family to live for two years. Gui Fang's heart chilled when she imagined the ugly appearance of the mother-in-law. There are also a few relatives who are in a similar situation to their own family, although the situation of their own family is better, but when they think of the face of their brother and daughter-in-law for fear of causing any trouble, they dare not open their mouths at all, adding to the bad things for their own mother, and it is even more difficult for others to open their mouths to borrow money.

Gui Fang returned home embarrassed and disappointed, the eldest saw his mother's face when he came back, and said more uncomfortable than his mother, Mom should not always worry about my marriage, and when the situation improves, the third brother is very smart and good at studying, and it will be useful to send him to study in the future, so let's think about the third brother's school first. Gui Fang looked at Wu Quan's black and thin face, felt very sad, and said guiltily, You are already in your twenties, your father and I are very anxious, and your grandmother is very anxious to hold her great-grandson. You have already given up the opportunity to go to school to Xiao Er, and if you don't get married, your father and I will feel even more uncomfortable. The eldest said, it's nothing for me to delay for another year or two, but the third brother's school can't be delayed, he is very clever and studies well, just admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, and a delay of a year will delay a lifetime. When Gui Fang heard this, she said very distressedly, that will hurt you, when school starts, you will send the junior, and you will also go out for a walk. Wu Quan was very happy to hear it, and it was difficult to go for a walk to see the world.

Most of the children from poor families in rural areas have the ambivalent feeling of wanting to leave the countryside and reduce the burden on their parents, and the way to leave the countryside is nothing more than to study, become a soldier, pull relatives and friends, and recruit workers in the city. Now that Wu Liang has been successfully admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, it means that he is getting closer and closer to the university, but he is not happy at all. He looked like a very energetic child, and although he was thin and small because of malnutrition, his eyes were bright. He was too eager to go to school, but in the face of family difficulties, several younger brothers and sisters, and only the eldest brother was in front of his mother, and his father's health was not very good, and the second brother couldn't borrow for a while. In this case, there is a great deal of contingency as to which choice the parties are taking. At this time, the second brother, who was studying in the county, came back, and naturally brought a large bag of food to his younger brothers and sisters. The second brother also returned home specifically for this matter. He is very aware of the difficulties in his family, but he also knows the preciousness of the opportunity for the third brother to study. He also knew that Lu Dao's parents were well aware of the matter and would support the third brother's study, and he also knew that the eldest brother would understand and support the third brother's schooling. The main reason why he came back was to dispel the third brother's concerns and persuade the third brother. The reason for his persuasion was that he would soon graduate, and he would be able to get a salary, which would help his father and eldest brother share the pressure of family life. This strengthened the third brother's confidence and inspired the spirit of his mother and eldest brother. The whole family was excited about the invisible future.

Faith can be inspiring, but the stress of life is real and no one can solve it. Wu Liang embarked on the road of study with such a complex state of mind. Although his mother brought him enough money and food stamps, he knew that it was the only money in the family, and he knew the weight of that thing. His choice under that pressure was one that would later make his mother cry bitterly: eat wild vegetables. He never went to the cafeteria, and at first the teachers and students thought he was going to eat at a relative's house. Later, he thought he was going to his second brother's place for dinner, but he didn't know that he had relatives. has a very close relative, but he doesn't want to disturb others and cause trouble to others, and he doesn't want to look at other people's eyes because of eating white food. He wouldn't go to his second brother to share food, and he also knew the difficulties of his second brother. He chose to go to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables and put them under the bed, and other classmates happily took pots and bowls to cook every time they arrived, so he avoided them under the pretext that he would only be in the dormitory during class and sleep. At this time, news came one after another that things had been lost in the cafeteria. He became the first object of suspicion. One day, three months after going to school, a student happily told him that the cafeteria asked you to go to eat, and you should go back to the dormitory first, and the homeroom teacher would be waiting for you there. He didn't know what was going on. When I returned to the dormitory and opened the door, I saw the head teacher, the director of the teaching office, and the director of the cafeteria sitting in the dormitory. As soon as he saw this situation, he felt bad. At this time, the homeroom teacher said, you sit down first. He sat on his bed, his head bowed, and his hands had nowhere to go, as if he was waiting for his sentence to be pronounced. The director of the teaching office said to him angrily, "The school has just made a decision after a meeting and will suspend you for half a year. Hearing the news, his brain thumped, and he realized that his dream of going to college had been shattered from then on, and he suddenly seemed to collapse, his body went limp, and his eyes were full of tears. At this time, the director of the canteen said very resentfully, Recently, things are often lost in the canteen, and we have followed and secretly observed, and found that you stole it. Wu Liang defended quietly and with little confidence, I didn't steal anything from the cafeteria. The director of the cafeteria asked in a skeptical tone, "Then what do you eat every day?" Wu Liang nodded under the bed with his head and said, I ate under the bed below. When the homeroom teacher heard this, she bent down to look under the bed and couldn't help but be surprised, and the other two also saw the wild vegetables under the bed one after another, and they all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. Perhaps because the misdeeds of stealing dissipated the sympathy that might breed, the head teacher continued with a straight face, the cafeteria has prepared food for you, you go to the cafeteria to eat first, come back and clean up, and the school will send the class leader to send you home. Then the three of them got up and left, and no one left a word of comfort. Wu Liang would not have the heart to eat, and the faint demon somehow returned home along the way. When Gui Fang saw Wu Liang being sent back, she didn't have the heart to comfort the child for a while, and it was difficult to say what she wanted to say. The next day, Gui Fang went to the school to settle the accounts, and when he returned home at night, he sat on the kang and cried with tears in his eyes, crying and complaining, my three, why did you come here in the past few months, why didn't you starve to death? It turned out that she went to settle the accounts and realized that Wu Liang had not moved any of the food money tickets for the past three months, and she had taken them back.

15-year-old Wu Liang suddenly fell into the torture of shame. The blisters on his feet were stepped on by himself, and his family complained that he was not angry, he not only had to endure the shame of being expelled, the news that he was expelled from school seemed to be passed on with the wind, and the people in the village knew it overnight, and he also had to endure the notoriety of a thief, and he still had a sense of guilt for his eldest brother in his heart, feeling as if he had delayed his eldest brother's marriage because of his future, dragging down his parents, in order to reduce this moral pressure, he did choose to eat wild vegetables, and the money and food saved were good for the eldest brother to save money for marriage, and he could save a sum of money when he thought about it. But after a day, two days, three days and five days, eating wild vegetables can barely support it, and if he continues, he feels weak, and the digestion secretion of the stomach and intestines is not smooth. Although the school knew that he was poor, there were too many poor students to take care of, and considering this circumstance, he was not expelled and suspended for half a year. In such a matter, they can tacitly understand each other, one side is half sympathetic, and the other side is uncomfortable, but it is still necessary to understand, so that it is good to face reality, accept reality, and start a new real life.

At this time, in the eldest and third children, different types of tragic combinations occurred, and the whole family was shrouded in this tragic and depressing atmosphere, which was originally the pressure of poverty, and now it has added the new pressure of Wu Liang being expelled from school. The tragedy of the boss is a self-sacrificing tragedy, sacrificing his marriage but not fulfilling the third brother's study, the third brother was repatriated by the school to make him have a kind of unspeakable shame, he knows the hardships of the third brother and understands the third brother's actions, he naturally will not blame the third brother, which deepens the pain in his heart, and he seems to have aged a lot overnight. Wu Liang's tragedy, but there is the possibility of self-dissolution, his cleverness makes him experience a kind of morality that can dispel guilt, he is stealing, but his theft is not simply for his own belly, the money is not enough to eat, he can open his mouth and reach out to the family to ask for it, but he can't open that mouth, it is for the eldest brother, but also to save money for the family, he even has a sense of moral satisfaction, here we will see a strange moral paradox, stealing violates the ancient moral precepts and religious teachings, But it can reduce the burden of parents, do a filial piety within one's ability, and fulfill another moral wish by violating one moral requirement, which often puts people in an embarrassing and embarrassing situation. How and how a person gets out of that moral dilemma depends on the moral preference of the person concerned, which moral choice he prefers and what kind of moral response he can get. His poverty did not get a moral response from the teachers, the teachers hated stealing, if the poor students all went to steal, it would destroy the school order, corrupt the school spirit, and violate the purpose of education, and there were too many poor students so that they did not dare to make a moral response to produce moral salvation, so they had to strangle the breeding sympathy in the cradle, so as to ensure that the school continued to run and maintain the proper teaching order.

Now, Wu Liang's behavior has finally been loved by his mother after learning the truth, especially the crying after his mother came back, which made him feel a kind of moral satisfaction more strongly. Through such unexpected experiences, Wu Liang's generous personality qualifications have been forged, and this kind of generosity that achieves others can eliminate any form of guilt, and of course, it can violate other forms of moral requirements. At this time, the seed of Wu Liang's tragic character was planted, and this seed will gradually develop and grow when it encounters suitable soil in the future. What happens here is a strange cultural landscape that is not tragic for the parties involved, and it is a series of tragedies that are deduced by wanting to live a decent life under the pressure of poverty. Poverty does not necessarily mean tragedy, if the face of poverty makes people retreat and humiliate and obey the arrangement of fate, it is not a tragedy, it is called pathetic, only the challenge of poverty can lead to tragedy, out of a kind of moral self-sacrifice or even a moral paradox of the challenge struggle, forming a complex tragic plot. Here, we almost misinterpret the tragedy that happened here, which will cause us to deviate significantly from the narrative we continue to have, and the characters in the work will laugh at us and even fool us in later narratives. In the later narrative, we will see that the unknown source of money through the way of throwing, so that the generous character to obtain moral satisfaction and dissipate the dual purpose of guilt, is actually a deformed perverted satisfaction and dissolution, the tragedy is that the character is unconscious, and does not know that such an act itself contains a moral paradox, so it will be copied and repeated there, and when this behavior is unsustainable because of money, it will fall into an embarrassing situation and be difficult to extricate itself, which is enough to arouse the alarm of the world. In life, morality is often misinterpreted and misinterpreted by each person according to their own understanding, and moral behavior is deformed, forming their own deformed personality, and understanding deformed morality as pure morality, where adherence to and practice can only obtain deformed and perverted spiritual satisfaction, but in the end it is painful. It is impossible to build life into a paradise on earth by relying on such a chaotic and deformed moral outlook, and it is difficult to take into account the moral requirements of other aspects in accordance with the moral actions formed according to their respective moral understandings and moral preferences, especially when faced with sharp moral paradoxes and moral pressure, they cannot produce the proper moral compatibility balance and moral salvation actions, which often lead to human tragedy. The practice of the nation also needs sufficient moral training, moral accumulation, moral thinking, and moral innovation, so as to promote the construction of morality to a high level, so as to reduce and alleviate the human suffering and tragedies caused by insufficient morality, lack of morality, poor moral judgment ability, and weak ability to balance morality.

The characters in our works continue to live, endure, and create, so that our narratives can continue.

Wu Quan's marriage was brought up again by his mother. Because Lao Wu has already worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, his family has had some savings in recent years. But at this time, Wu Quan, who has been tortured by the pressure of heavy farm work and the incident of the third brother, has become a little premature, he should have been a person in his twenties, because of congenital malnutrition and acquired heavy labor, which is more self-sacrificing redemption for the family, when he saw that his efforts did not change the situation of the family, he was helpless, disappointed in his ability, this loss of self-confidence, is simply a devastating blow to him. There is no sign of hope in the family in front of them. Therefore, when his mother proposed his marriage, he had no choice but to passively accept it. With such a family background and such personal conditions, you will not find something to love. This exacerbated Gui Fang's anxiety. Poor does not choose a wife, there is a thin woman from a poorer family, at this time into the door of the old Wu family, to undertake the mission of the Wu family to inherit the lineage, fortunately this woman has a kind character, to Wu Quan brought great spiritual comfort, but also greatly helped Gui Fang to reduce the burden of housework, younger brothers and sisters also began to have a new support.
