70 Tears of the educated youth
"Be optimistic about our victory", the lyricist wrote in the lyrics of a song, so let's say the same. In that difficult era, the melons planted by the widow were stolen, not to mention the dried red taro that was as thick as snow flakes and bigger than silver dollars on the black soil of Daqinzhuang. It's always reassuring to have your crops in the ground. A little slower and careless, some people pluck peanuts, some people break corn, some people cut soybeans, some people steal red taro, and even the dried red taro cut into slices is picked up, and in a blink of an eye, it has changed its owner. Captain Qin Dahai arranged for a few men to go to this land, a few men to take care of the land, and the women were sleeping at home and taking care of the children to rest, but it was also quiet. But somehow, Daqinzhuang has been haunted recently, and there are a few unruly men who climb over the window and over the wall, doing some things that steal chickens and dogs and make women uneasy. The night before yesterday, Sister-in-law Wang was harassed by bad people and looked for death and life, but she was not persuaded to do so, and this morning I heard that Sister-in-law Liu was also crying and screaming, beating her chest and being picked up by her mother's family.
"Something! Don't you also have a sister and a sister? Rogue stuff! Rely on a little bit of power to do evil, damn! You don't have humanity! I'll put this account on hold for you, and sooner or later I'll have to settle it! Sister-in-law Liu's brother gritted his teeth and scolded while pulling his sister, with ruthlessness and hatred in his heart.
Most people don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and they are puzzled, and the author speculates and discusses.
"Could it be that Junko beat his daughter-in-law? Let go of a good life, but life is not wrong! Is it easy for Liu to be busy working and taking care of children! I don't know anything about thoughtfulness! Qin Changming in the back row scolded Shunzi.
"Go! Go! Go! Go back to the house and eat your meal! When did Junko stop hurting his daughter-in-law? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation! Aunt Wang pushed her husband into the house, "Shunzi really beat his daughter-in-law, can his mother-in-law not beat him?" ”
"Could it be because the children are fighting for food and clothing, and the two of them are fighting?" Sister-in-law Zhao said.
"Impossible! The food in the afternoon season is almost eaten, but this day is red taro, and I can't be hungry if it's delicious! Zhongliang analyzed.
"Sister-in-law Liu is very strong, she can withstand a lot of difficulties, not to mention that the harvest is so good this autumn?" Huzi was suspicious.
"It can still be a straight to see that the crops are not at home, which kid ......"
"It must be which bastard took advantage of Shunzi's absence to ...... sister-in-law Liu"
"It's still that thing!"
"Something that can't die well!"
People know it.
Sister-in-law Liu was carried by her brother and sister-in-law on the road to her mother's house, wiping her eyes and tears, grief and indignation, Shunzi's eyes were red and swollen, full of hatred, and the two pairs of children cried and shouted and followed behind.
The peasants did not have too high expectations, and after last autumn they were already very satisfied with the extra distribution of sorghum and red taro to fill their stomachs, men and women, young and old, had more or less smiles on their faces, and the number of people participating in literacy classes during the slack season also increased. Sometimes I watched a few shows of "Mu Guiying in Command", "Fan Lihua Point Soldier", and "Dou E's Injustice", and I also felt very happy.
Captain Qin Dahai adopted the suggestions of several educated youths - rewarding diligence and punishing laziness, and achieved a good harvest last autumn, and was praised by the leaders many times, and he was very happy. He thanked Yang Ke, Zhao Huimei, and Fang Ling for coming up with such a good idea for him, sending them some eggs and pork every once in a while for them to nourish their bodies, and sometimes sending the chickens that had been killed to be fried and eaten. They were very touched by their meticulous care. They have nothing to repay, they can only do their best, and set an example for the masses with the fastest speed and the best quality when they work; Literacy classes are held during the slack to let the people here know more words, read books and newspapers to them, talk about the scientific knowledge they know about Taoism, improve their ability to see through superstitions, and do what they can to contribute. While they give, they are also happy and satisfied with the fruits of their labor.
It's another year of noon, and it's time for young and old to bend over. Encouraged by hope, people get up early and are greedy for darkness, wearing stars and moons, sweating and dust. My back hurt, I beat it with my hands, my back was sore, I pouted my buttocks, twisted and shook my waist with both hands, gritted my teeth and insisted on putting the wheat away. The women knew that wheat grains could be ground into flour, and this flour was snow-white bread, which could satisfy hunger and prolong life. The men in charge of the beating took the wheat to the field and spread it out, and the heat and dryness in the strong sunlight drove the animals pulling the stones and stones round and round, squeezing and beating the wheat over and over again. It was turned over and turned over until the sun was in the west, the temperature dropped, and the wheat kernels had almost come off, and then the cattle were brought out, and the wheat grains and the bran and the mixed ash were gathered together, waiting for the wind to come. When the wind arrives, people choose the right direction, spread their legs, and throw off the wooden shovels with their hands one after the other, separating the wheat kernels from the bran dust. Pushing the chaff to clean is the end. Sweating for a long time, holding the bucket "Goodong!" After drinking, I felt much more comfortable sitting on the ground, and I lay down with a "hey" sound, my body was facing the sky, stretching out my limbs and panting rapidly, enjoying the coolness of the sunset and the leisure after exhaustion.
The annual noon harvest is over, the grass in the field has long covered the crops, and people are still too busy to touch their heels, carrying hoes to the East Lake and the West Lake. Seeing that the summer solstice is about to pass, soybean seeds cannot be planted in the folds of the warehouse (what farmers use to hold grain), and the cadres and the masses are also anxious, worried that they will not be able to plant and delay the season. It can be regarded as the sky is as people wish, the good rain knows the season, the sultry weather suddenly cooled, a few clouds in the southwest sky drifted over, after a few bursts of thunder, "whoa, whoa" fell, people were overjoyed, happy for God's immeasurable kindness. While looking for a few crops to clean up the beans, the captain arranged for Aunt Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu to go to the warehouse to sift and pick up bean seeds, and prepare for the fields in advance.
