The motorcycle is speeding on the way home, to go out of the town of thirty miles, must pass this winding mountain road, to say that this mountain top to build a beacon or lookout is really the best choice, but the ancients just built a city on this, up the mountain is laborious, down the mountain is also laborious, after walking the mountain road I almost vomited, this is a motion sickness person is really not alive.

Next was a straight road, lined with towering poplar trees, and in front of it was a steep slope, after which a few miles down was where I was born.

After going downhill, I began to slow down, I suddenly remembered the time when my father took me to the town of Thirty Miles to name it, at that time there was only one old cow in my family, the cow was still divided, although it was old, but for my family's livelihood can be a lifetime of strength, and finally the cow died of old age, people wanted to slaughter and eat meat, my father resolutely disagreed, he buried the old cow, and set up a monument.

Some people say that my father is mentally ill, although the old cow is thin and only has skin and bones, but Nuo Da is enough to eat enough for the whole village. It's inexplicable to bury the rats and feed the grass on the mountain.

My father is now like the old cow, struggling on the land, I have advised him to leave here and do something else, but my father will not listen, he has an unusual love for the land, as if he could not live without the land.

I parked my motorbike in the woods at the edge of the village and walked home, and there was a field next to the woods, and the field was full of wild vegetables for the pigs, which we plucked to feed the pigs, but the people in the city could not find them.

I plucked a handful of wild vegetables and went into my yard, the black pig was humming in the pigsty, I threw the wild vegetables into the pigsty, and the black pig lowered his head to chew the wild vegetables, my mother had not fed it yet, and it seemed that the family was busy as usual.

I entered the house, a dim waiting hanging from the ceiling, my mother was in the face, saw me come back, did not stop what she was doing, in her opinion, this meal in the evening is far more important than my return, I squatted down to fill her firewood, she kneading the dough while saying, "Haven't you caused trouble lately?" ”

I shook my head.

"Where's my dad?"

"The village campaign, to elect your father as the village head, Cui Bawan disagreed, called his seven brothers to blackmail your father to give up, and then let him be the leader."

"What does my dad mean?"

"What's the point, when you were a child, you managed pigs, and when you grow up, you become the captain of the production team for a few days, and your father's official addiction is great."

My mother sighed and continued: "Unfortunately, the seven brothers of the Cui 80,000 family are all powerful outside, and your father, the village chief, is not good. ”

I threw down the firewood and walked out, and my mother called out to me, "Charles, what are you doing?" ”

"I'll find Cui Bawan to theorize!"

"Come back!"

I had wind in my ears, I didn't hear my mother calling me, this dog's Cui 80,000 relied on his seven brothers to be powerful in the village, Cui 80,000's old mother gave birth to eight sons, his old mother loves to play mahjong, and has no culture, the eight children are really hard to name, simply call Cui 10,000, Cui 20,000 in turn...... This name also has a certain significance, is to want to play mahjong every day from now on.

Cui Bawan has relied on a few brothers to become powerful, and has been the village chief here, for many years, he has withheld relief, eaten fat head and big ears, and the villagers tried to get him down several times, but Cui Bawan was done several times.

I'm not used to this kind of bullying dog.

I first went to the woods and took an electric baton from the spare box of the motorcycle and hid it in my coat pocket, and then went straight to Cui 800000, which is in the south of the village, and the six brick houses are built with magnificent atmosphere, all relying on the wealth he has accumulated over the years by deducting relief subsidies. As soon as I walked outside the far gate, I heard a commotion inside, my father was arguing with Cui Bawan, and the villagers were all gathered around to watch, some of Cui Bawan's seven brothers stood behind him to support him, and some sat on the cement platform and smoked, but without exception they all looked at my father proudly.

My dad didn't see me, I saw Cui Bawan's son also standing there, Cui Bawan's son is the same age as me, this kid is even more mixed than him, he is a bully in the village, if anyone provokes Cui Bawan, this kid will go to smash your chicken coop in the middle of the night.

Cui Bawan was short, and gradually lost his words, and saw that my father won. In front of so many villagers, if you want to run for the village head, you must win the other party in words, and the old man Cui has been the village chief for a lifetime with his three-inch tongue. Cui Bawan is now running out of words, and his seven brothers have all stood up, I said, my ancestor is an executioner, so my father will not be soft.

I moved to the crowd behind my father, and paid attention to Cui Bawan's son without slackening for a moment, this kid clenched his fists tightly, he was waiting, waiting for his father to play the moment of chaos, at that time, he this bastard would rush up and give my father a heavy blow, but my father's skills are also famous in the village, catching pigs and binding cattle are all good hands, other people's families need four people to work together to subdue a pig, and my father can easily subdue an adult pig alone. If Cui Bawan's bastard son rushes up, my dad only needs one punch, which is enough to hit him all over the ground looking for teeth, so this kid is looking for an opportunity to blackmail, I saw him slowly move to the other side, he wanted to sneak attack my father, he didn't see me, in the evening, the villagers didn't notice my existence, I already held the electric baton in my hand.

Cui Bawan's bastard son's actions, his uncles and uncles would not be unaware, but they all pretended not to know, and got up to help Cui Bawan reason with my father, the purpose of this is to attract my father's attention.

In the eyes of others, this moment is noisy. But in my eyes, at this moment, quietly, a conspiracy is brewing unconsciously, just waiting for the moment of explosion.

Cui Bawan's anger became more and more intense, and suddenly, Cui Bawan rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Lao Tzu can't be the village chief, don't want to be anyone, damn!" ”

As soon as Cui Bawan's voice fell, saying that it was too late and that was fast, his bastard son flew out from behind, and one foot flew in the air, which was about to fly and kick my father's waist, but his every move was under my control, just when he flew to my father, I also flew and jumped, two black shadows flew out of the crowd, and before everyone could react, my electric baton fell on Cui Bawan's son's shoulder, boom! Smack! Yes! His bastard son fell to the ground with a numb body.

I put one down in the middle of the lightning, and I stood still, because I had just flown and my weight was tilted forward, so I almost fell to the ground.

"Charles!" My dad exclaimed.

"He wants to sneak up on you."

Cui Bawan shouted: "Xia Dahai, your son dares to beat people, okay, this is what you asked for, today your father and son don't want to get out of this compound!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened and retreated, this is over, Xia Dahai, the father and son, angered Cui Bawan, Cui Bawan and the eight brothers are bound to skin them alive, the gourd baby is only seven brothers, and Cui Bawanjia has one more eight babies, this is really a scorpion spirit to go into battle and it will not help.

The eight brothers of the Cui family and everyone else didn't notice the electric baton hidden in my sleeve, they thought I had knocked down Cui Bawan's son with my fist.

"Xia Dahai, it's not easy to say anything today."

Cui Bawan first rushed up like a mad dog, and the other seven brothers also pounced, my father kicked Cui Bawan to the ground, and I electrocuted Cui Erwan.

We put down the eight brothers of the Cui family, they were lying on the ground humming and chirping, and then the villagers also gathered around, they vented their grievances and dissatisfaction in their hearts for many years, everyone united, completely eliminated the prestige of the Cui family, and elected my father as the village head, the villagers are not to blame for the past account problems in the village, if Cui Bawan does something bastard, the villagers will send the account book to the relevant departments, so that Cui Bawan completely extinguished.

My father and I left the Cui family compound, but my father did not go home, he walked into the old compound of the production team, how lively the production team was in the past, now several houses have collapsed, leaving only one to be repaired as a village office, and there is a resident person, that is, the old captain of the former production team, the old captain is more than 80 years old, nearly 90 years old, but the body is still quite tough, the wife died for many years, and the son went to join the army and died.

The yard of the production team is ruined and broken, the wind erodes the wall, the rain is drenched on the eaves, and there is a large grinding disc in the courtyard, which was originally rotating day and night, and now it is like a sleeping stone, motionless.

My dad sat on the millstone, and I sat on the millstone, where the old captain of the production team sat before the sun went down. My father took out the dry tobacco pouch, dug a pot for the old captain, dug another pot for himself, and then lit it for the old captain and lit it for himself, and Batabata smoked, and the smoke in the pot was like magma under a volcano, covered with a layer of gray material.

"Down?" The old captain said with a cigarette holder in his mouth.

"It's going down." My dad said with a puff of smoke.

The old captain coughed a few times, he was a little excited, thinking that after my father took over his captain, it was my father who then became the village chief, but halfway out of the way to bite the gold, Cui Bawan took advantage of the way of the seven brothers in Thirty Mile Town, and became the village head, Cui Bawan did not engage in production after becoming the village head, and went to meetings all day long, and came back from the meeting was a drunken mud, my father and the old captain had no ambitions and nowhere to go.

"The sea, do you think the people here can still work in full swing?" The old captain said earnestly.

Oh, yes! I remember that in the old days, people in the fields were like reapers with full oil, rushing forward in the fields.

"I have let go of pigs here, been a captain, wielded a sickle, my youthful blood is sprinkled on this land, I want to do a good job in production, let our village make a fortune and become well-off, but ......"

"I understand what you mean, I'm old, I'm useless, my comrades-in-arms in the town are gone, and now those leaders in the town, who still knows my old bones."

My dad sighed, and he knocked the ashes off the pot and dug up another pot.

The stars were blinking at night, the breeze was blowing, the frogs were clattering in the distant stream, the wind was blowing through the green wheat fields, and who knew that the grains in the ears of wheat were sleeping.

My father has long wanted to make some career in the village, his elementary school classmate, that is, my principal, once mocked him in the office, which made him feel very uncomfortable, my father thought, I am also a captain of the team, if it weren't for Cui Bawan making trouble, maybe he will make a difference now, he can't do culture, farming and production is a good hand. My father has his own blueprint, first of all, the stream in front of the village, this stream is estimated to have flowed for hundreds of years, the source is in the east, there is a spring, and the water continues to bubble up all year round. Many years ago, there was an expedition team to investigate the water source, I heard that it was a mineral water manufacturing company, the expedition team lived in the production team's house, they said that the creek is full of rock formations, there is a dark river in the rock formation, because of the geological movement, the pressure rises, the spring water will come out, the water quality is very good, it can be used as special mineral water, the expedition team stayed for more than half a month, and then the company went bankrupt because of other financial reasons, and the project was also stranded. My father thought to himself that if we could attract investment to set up a mineral water bottling department, then this would be a good way to benefit the villagers.

In addition, there are good natural resources around the village, you can plant fruit trees to set up an orchard, and you can also pack the wild vegetables in the field to feed the pigs into bags and sell them to the city people, these are all ways for my father to make money by watching TV.

However, the village department only has a few hundred yuan in its account, and it is a joke to do this transaction for a few hundred yuan.

I followed my father out of the millstone, and the old captain said behind me: "The sea, don't make it difficult, if you can, you can do it, and if you can't do it, pull it down!" ”

My father answered in the dark night and walked home with me, I could feel that his heart was as heavy as a piece of iron, although he overthrew Cui Bawan, but he was nearly fifty years old, half of his life had passed, and he hadn't made a name for himself, he didn't want to go out to work and make money like others, he just wanted to do something in the place where he buried his youth.

On the way, my dad said, "Have you taken the test?" ”

"Hmm!"

"First from the bottom?"

"Hmm."

My dad doesn't speak anymore, he knows that it won't help to say anything, so I'm still righteous, that's enough, if a person doesn't study well, and he is a bastard like Cui Bawan and does bad things, it's really a sin.
