Jiang Sheng has been gone like this for three years, and he said before he left that he would come back before my college entrance examination, but I didn't expect him to be away for so long.

In the past three years, as long as I am free, I will think of Jiang Sheng, and I have insomnia all night, and I can only be immersed in the sea of questions, tired physically and mentally every day, and I have no time to think about anything else.

There is still a week before the college entrance examination, the schoolwork has stopped, and every day is just reviewing, I suddenly miss Jiang Sheng endlessly, my heart is flustered, and I am restless.

In the past three years, Jiang Sheng only wrote back the year before, and he only wrote to Xiao Wu, never to me.

How I wish I had received a letter from him specifically to me, but he didn't write back for two years.

Maybe the fighting was too fierce for him to write letters, or maybe he wrote a lot of letters but couldn't send them back.

I often dreamed of receiving a letter from Jiang Sheng, and the next day I ran to the school's mailbox full of anticipation to look for the letter, and every time my expectations were disappointed, and the next time I was full of expectations.

Jiang Sheng was just sixteen years old when he left, and I am seventeen years old now.

I have imagined countless scenarios of meeting him, and I swear that I will never give him a look at him again, and never play a little temper in front of him again, no matter what he becomes, he is still the Jiang Sheng who loves me the most.

I would run to the school gate every afternoon and wait for a while, and sometimes I would chase after someone who looked very similar to him, and I knew that Jiang Sheng would be the first to come to me if he came back, and he would let everyone know that Jiang Rong's brother was back.

I basically didn't have a friend in my whole high school, I was studying when others were kicking shuttlecocks and jumping rubber bands, I was studying when others went home to help harvest wheat, and I was also reading when others were eating and resting, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep up with Jiang Sheng's pace and be thrown too far by him.

At that time, Xiao Wu rarely came to me, and he buried his head in his seat every day to do exercises, he never mentioned Jiang Sheng's name in front of me, and he and his mother were busy with the work at home.

Two days before the college entrance examination, I fainted once in class because I couldn't eat for a few days, Xiao Wu picked me up and ran to the school infirmary, and after the injection, he had to pull me out to eat meat buns, he encouraged me to take the test well, and wait for Jiang Sheng to come back to surprise him.

Xiao Wu, like me, applied to Shanghai National Fudan University, which was one of the top universities in China at that time.

After the exam, it was mid-June, and since the marking of the test papers and the verification of the results were all handwritten at that time, it would take at least a month before the results of the college entrance examination could be released.

At that time, the results of the college entrance examination could not be queried, and could only be read out by the principal at the school's teacher-student assembly.

The waiting time for that month was torturous, and if you didn't pass the exam, you had to revise for the next year.

At that time, the only people in the village who were still in school were me and Xiaowu, and Zhao Dahai's grades have always been very poor, because he left school because of the land reform in the second year of high school.

Shen A-Niang and Zhao Fugui's maid born after marriage can already run and jump, she is four years old this year, and even Li Xing, a ruffian who was originally in Sanlitun, married a wife and had children.

Li Xing didn't know where he heard the word "Haotian", so he named his son Li Haotian.

At that time, Li Xing's parents strongly objected, saying that it was easier for children to have cheap names to feed, the word Haotian was too evil, and it was not good to have a high name, not to mention that there were two days in the name, and more importantly, the word "Hao" was Ritian, which was disrespectful to God in the eyes of uneducated farmers.

Li Xing didn't care about it, he felt that the name was Niu, he always remembered what his leading brother Zhao Zhuang said, since ancient times, most of the heroes and heroes came from the dog slaughtering generation, and they were willing to cut that body in order to pull the emperor off the horse, and his son Li Haotian was bound to stir up a storm in the future.

Li Xing got married at the age of twenty-one, and three years have passed, and at the age of 24, his ambition to fight the world seems to have improved, and now he has become the captain of the Sanlitun Village branch, taking over Ma Aiguo's former position.

In the second year after the liberation of Beiping by the People's Liberation Army, the land reform, the people of all parts of the country were divided into poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords, in this reform struggle, Li Xing made the greatest contribution, so he was promoted to the captain of the production team in Sanlitun.

In 1927, when the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army in Jinggangshan opened up the rural revolutionary base areas, it carried out a land reform movement, mainly to eliminate the equal land rights of landlords.

Zhao Fugui has always listened to Zhao Fuxi's words, in 1949, he sold 800 acres of 1,000 acres of fertile land, and the remaining 200 acres Zhao Fuxi urged him to sell, Zhao Fugui was unwilling, and the 200 acres could be kept to make money.

Besides, after the liberation of Beiping, there was no land reform above, and besides, he Zhao Fugui had never bullied anyone, and he also helped the villagers when they were busy, so he couldn't take his last 200 acres of land.

At that time, information technology was not developed, and communications were not timely, in fact, as early as 1947, in the late Republic of China, there were authorities who cracked down on landlords, such as Zhou Papi.

Zhou Papi's original name was Zhou Chunfu, in fact, he was not a landlord, because at that time the land could be bought and sold, and whoever had money or not depended on whose land was more, Zhou Chunfu's greatest effort in his life was to save money and be frugal, and he was never idle, he always wore tattered clothes, and the belt around his waist was made of rags, and he picked up more wheat than other people's homes.

Zhou Chunfu was busy all his life, and bought one piece of land after another with the money he saved, and finally reached the point of 200 acres of fertile land. As the richest rich man in Shili Eight Villages, Zhou Chunfu is very picky, even if he has so many acres of land, he will dry the rotten vermicelli that he has eaten at home for a few days, and then fry it next time.

At that time, the underground national army hit Zhou Chunfu's hometown, launched land reform, equalized land rights, Zhou Chunfu hit the hole of the gun, became a class enemy, and was finally killed.

Later, this rich man who slammed the door became the well-known bully landlord Zhou Papi.

And I only learned about this story in 1952.

At that time, the land reform had been going on for two years, starting in the 50s and ending in the 52s, with millions of landlords and wealthy households dead.

Among them is the prophetic Zhao Fuxi.

Zhao Fuxi had long expected that there would be such a day, so he kept urging Zhao Fugui to sell all the land, and Zhao Fugui quarreled with Zhao Fuxi more than once or twice on this matter, until the high wall of their house was surrounded by the surrounding villagers, and Zhao Fugui couldn't sell it if he wanted to.

Zhao Fugui can't say that he can't cover the sky with one hand in Qiantang Town, but he is a person who can be a man, and he usually gives money to the big people in the town. When the campaign to defeat the landlord came, Zhao Fugui knew the news in advance, so he wanted to escape with his whole family.

At that time, Zhao Dahai was still at school when he was called out by him, but when he went home to pack his luggage and prepare to dig up the gold bars buried in the ground, he found that the door of the house had been blocked.

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Fuxi were arrested at the same time, and the landlord's mother-in-law, Shen Aniang, was also arrested.

At that time, the people in the village persuaded the villagers from the other villages not to arrest Shen Aniang, but the people from the other villages did not let them, and the people from the two villages finally fought.

This matter was in trouble in the town, and when I learned that Zhao Fugui was arrested, some people who knew Zhao Fugui intervened, but there was a clear instruction from above, and each village and township must have a model, Zhao Fugui's family is too rich in Sanlitun, and someone in their family must take this responsibility.

So the old landlord Zhao Fuxi still couldn't escape this disaster after all.

When Zhao Fuxi was dying, he kept scolding Zhao Fugui for being a brute.

Zhao Fuxi wanted to hang himself, but he was caught by Li Xing, who was stealing chickens and dogs.

Because Zhao Fugui's family is not the kind of bully landlord who bullies men and women, especially Shen Aniang, there is a good woman in the family, so the people in the village are not embarrassed to gather to arrest people, and the landlords and rich households in various urban areas were beaten to death by the villagers.

Zhao Fuxi hated Zhao Fugui no matter how much he hated him, he couldn't let his only son Zhao Fugui die for him, so he dragged it out again and again, and the old Zhao Fuxi couldn't stand the pain of being threatened with death all day long, so he tied a hemp rope at the door and wanted to hang a tree to die.

Li Xing happened to pass by and saved Zhao Fuxi, but he was not to save people, the purpose of the land reform was not to kill the landlord, but to average the land rights, the village chief was a real person, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't explain to the above, until the village chief called Li Xing, who was stealing chickens and dogs, and told Li Xing some inside stories.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Fuxi dies or not, the key is the land of Zhao Fuxi's family.

Li Xing tied up Zhao Fuxi, summoned the people of Sanlitun, and to give an explanation to the above, everyone must indicate their class position, and no one person can carry this pot, Zhao Fuxi has to die, but he needs to be beaten to death by the villagers.

So all the people in Sanlitun must kick Zhao Fuxi, and if they kick it, they will have a place.

The harvest is not good every year, every family has no surplus grain, the villagers of Sanlitun are almost poor and crazy, and it is necessary to make a class position, and all the old and young lined up to kick Zhao Fuxi that day.

Xiao Wu and I did not go back to Sanlitun because of school, and my mother was not present because she was building a house at the construction site, after she went home, Li Xing came to the door and asked her to indicate her class position, and asked her to kick Zhao Fuxi, and her mother was led by Li Xing to the door of Zhao Fugui's house, and saw that the humiliated Zhao Fuxi had been hanging on the beam.

Li Xing was furious, even if Zhao Fuxi died, he couldn't let it go, he summoned all the villagers to come and beat Zhao Fugui severely, beating him all over with blood, his head was bleeding, divided his land, and robbed him of his grain.

Therefore, Zhao Fugui hated everyone in Sanlitun, his landlord name was canceled, the fertile land was divided, and the food and furniture at home were also looted.

Zhao Dahai was also in school that year.
