Although the two played together when they were young, they seemed to be childhood sweethearts, and I still remember when I was a child, the adults jokingly asked the two of them, Sangou Mingyue, you are together every day, and when you grow up, who will Sangou marry as a wife?

Xiao Sangou replied without thinking, of course, it was to marry Mingyue, which caused the adults to laugh for a while, and asked Mingyue, who do you want to marry when you grow up? Mingyue is also in charge, I want to marry Brother Sangou, and the adults are even more smiling.

But these are jokes after all, I can't believe it, and more importantly, the door is not the right household, the Sangou family is a tenant farmer of the Mingyue family, renting their land to plant, and they have to pay rent every year, and the son of a tenant farmer actually wants to marry the daughter of the owner, which is a joke.

With the slow increase of age, Sangou slowly realized the reason why the adults were laughed at back then, although Mingyue is getting more and more handsome, and the handsome one is becoming more and more distressing, but Sangou will never take the initiative to find Mingyue again.

is to find Mingcheng to meet Mingyue, Sangou also quickly lowered his head, like a child who did something wrong, silently passed by, Mingyue was so angry that it was useless to stare at him.

Sangou knew that he didn't have this life, so he should have broken this thought, but he didn't know how, the more he wanted to break this thought, the more he wanted Mingyue, and he was about to go crazy.

But Sangou still can't show the slightest clue on the surface, he is still the son of the taciturn tenant farmer, working hard and studying hard.

A large part of it is to prevent yourself from having time to think about this, which makes Sangou famous for his reading skills, and everyone in ten villages and eight miles knows that there is a child named Luo Sangou in Luochengwa Village who is very good at reading, and Mr. likes him very much in the private school.

Look at the three dogs, this child is honest and diligent, from the three character classics to the hundred family names to the disciple rules thousand words to the four books and five classics, the back is very slippery, and the handwriting is also beautiful, the work is neat and simple and generous, which gentleman likes it very much.

Although they are very good at reading, but the children in the village generally go to a private school to open a Mengmeng to the sky, many children's parents will not spend money to let them study, it is better to go to the field to earn some food, reading is too wasteful.

But Sangou's father doesn't know like this, he borrowed money to let Sangou go to the town to study in a new primary school, to the county to study in a middle school, this is a big event in the village, a tenant farmer's child, can read and write is already very good, but also borrowed money to study in the city, it is simply big news, many people can't understand Sangou and his father's practice.

Sangou's mother was also embarrassed and said to Sangou's father, his father, if Sangou goes to the city to study, not only will the family lack a laborer, but also have to fill in a large amount of money into it. And Sangou's age, it's time to find a daughter-in-law, if you don't hurry up and save money to build a new house, how can other girls look down on our family?

Sangou Dad disagreed: What do you know, why is our family so poor? It's because we have suffered the loss of no culture, we can only find food in the mud, Sangou also happens to have this reading material, how many years has the old Luo family looked forward to it, only to hope that a person who can read, can not be scrapped in my hands.

The house is not built for the time being, and the money to build the house is for him to study, and the house is used for a fart, "The Great Wall is still there today, and I don't see Qin Shihuang back then" (Sangou Dad can actually know this, it is estimated that he heard the drama somewhere, and it is really crooked and used just right).

When the time comes, Sangou can really read it, it is not easy to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, besides, maybe the entire old Luo family is counting on him to be dragged ashore, our Luo family has been sinking for too many years, too many generations, and it is time to go ashore.

Although Sangou's mother doesn't understand so many big truths, she recognizes this man, her man usually can't beat a fart with a few sticks, and works quietly in the field all year round like an old scalper.

Usually the character of the three dog mothers is very spicy, the wind comes and goes, the mouth is very sharp and very good at being a person, if you offend people, you can't die a word, and if you help people, there are a lot of people at that time, and you can often help this and that, and the mouth is quick to work with your hands and feet, and the people in the village like this foreign daughter-in-law very much.

At home, the three dog mothers are also big and small things, and she has the final say in everything she encounters, and she handles it very well, so the three dog fathers and the three dog grandparents are also happy to let go and hand over all the power to the three dog mothers, inside and out, do not leak, people say that the old dog (three dog father) this old dog has picked up the treasure.

But there are thousands of things in the family, bumps and bumps, how can there be husbands and wives who don't argue? Although Sangou's father rarely speaks, as soon as he speaks, no matter how Sangou's mother is, she listens to her man.

Sometimes the three dog mothers were nagging, and the three dog fathers were annoyed, so they put the teacup on the table, stood up and just glared at the three dog mothers, and the three dog mothers immediately stopped talking, or changed the topic and took care of the elderly and children.

Generally at this time, the three dog fathers will take the dry tobacco rod and tobacco bag, turn out the door, walk around a few laps outside, smoke a few tubes of dry tobacco and go home, go home as if nothing happened, the three dog mother said when she saw it, returned, the three dog father said, the three dog father said, even if this matter is over, you can no longer mention the quarrel.

Although the three dog mothers are in charge of the family, they are only small things, and when they encounter big things, they all love the face of their men very much, and they have to say what the three dog fathers say when they go home, and then reply to others.

So this matter of Sangou's reading, Sangou's mother only said it once to Sangou's father, and Sangou's father explained a lot unprecedentedly, perhaps this has already indicated that it is the top priority in the family, and I almost couldn't hear Sangou's father say so much about one thing before.

In this way, Sangou and Ming Cheng and Zheng Shoucheng of the eleventh capital (Songfeng) next door were admitted to the middle school in the county to study together, the county seat is fifty miles away from the village, and it is impossible to go home every day, so they live in the school dormitory from Monday to Thursday, and the three of them walk home together after school on Friday afternoon.

It took more than two hours (four hours) to walk for these fifty miles, and although the school was dismissed early at three o'clock on Friday afternoon, it was still dark when they got home.

Sometimes lucky, halfway to catch a big car to pull goods, then it will be a little earlier to get home, pull people's car from the county to the township, but to collect money, although it is just a small ocean (almost 0.1 ocean), three dogs are reluctant to spend this money, Mingcheng guards the city they can afford to spend, but they are afraid of paying for three dogs to hurt him, so they accompany him to walk home.

Sangou thinks it's not good to be like this, and doesn't want to drag them down, when the family is not busy, he says that he won't go home on the weekend, and let Mingcheng help bring something back and forth, and the clothes can be washed and changed by himself at school, mainly with some pickles, sauerkraut, chili sauce, tofu or something, and when the rice starts, he and his father picked up two loads to the school together, and changed the meal ticket, which is enough to eat for a semester.

There are vegetables in the school cafeteria, but that costs money to buy, the three dogs generally beat the rice back to the dormitory, and the pickles are solved in three times or two, sometimes the mother feels sorry for the son who is growing up, and will bring a can of salted meat or salted fish, which can greatly improve the food.

However, Mingcheng and Shoucheng will generally make some good dishes to eat with the three dogs, and the three dogs are not polite, and they will also take out the salted meat and salted fish to share together, this pickle and spicy dish is too good to eat, and several children are all growing bodies, and they often feel that it is not enough after eating, and they go to play a bowl of rice.

In fact, Mingcheng's grandmother's house is on the east street of the county seat, Sangou and Shoucheng have accompanied Mingcheng a few times, Mingcheng's grandparents are very good to them, shh But no matter how good it is, after all, it is someone else's grandparents' house, and they can't get old, so they find some other reason to prevaricate and not follow.

Time flies, these three years have passed, and now in the summer vacation of the twenty-third year of the Republic of China (1934), the three of them are all seventeen-year-old boys, and they have been in high school for one year, and the middle school at that time was junior high school and high school for two years.

A few years of studying in the county town has opened Sangou's eyes a lot, and he always thought that he could find a decent job by studying hard, jumping out of the mud field.

Now more people want to be admitted to other places to study in universities, especially in Nanjing, Shanghai, Beiping, and Tianjin, where there are several famous universities. Of course, in the past, students had to take college preparatory courses first, but when they were in Sangou Middle School, the state abolished the preparatory system.

Here is a note: In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), Beijing was renamed Beiping, and in 1937, the Japanese puppet government changed Beiping to Beijing, and after the surrender of the Japanese invaders in 1945, it was changed to Beiping. After 1949, Beiping was changed to Beijing.

But when he thought of the high college tuition, Sangou wilted, and his family couldn't afford it at all, so he could only find a job after graduating from high school.

Although Sangou studied very hard in school and had good grades, he hardly asked anything outside the window, and he hardly went shopping and had no money to shop, so he was still quite unfamiliar with the county.

Most of the after-school life, in addition to washing, eating, drinking, and Lazar, Sangou is holding books and gnawing, thinking that this will not be able to think about Mingyue, but the young man's heart is like spring grass, in addition to growing crazy, he just can't extricate himself.

Although Sangou knew that Mingcheng and his father had already given Mingyue Xu to the city guard, the city guard family was in the next township five or six miles opposite the village, and it was also a big family, and the two families still had a bit of a distant relationship.

As for what Mingyue thinks, Sangou has no way to know, and he is not qualified to know, even if he does, so what? It doesn't matter anymore. When I went home, I occasionally saw the bright moon, so I avoided it from afar, although I was so reluctant.

Sangou knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to be a good buddy defending the city, but when he turned his head and thought about it, there was nothing more suitable than defending the city. I have completely broken this heart, so I buried my heart deeply, deeply.
