Text: Chapter 9

Gao Minglou walked back from the commune on the improvised road alone - his family's bicycle was pushed to school by the second boy, Samsung. He took the initiative to push the car. My son has become a teacher, and he must be decent in all aspects, and he can't do without a car! The head of the family in Gaojia Village is in his early fifties, but he is still in good spirits when he walks. He was dressed in an old blue rattle uniform, gray in color; Under the brim of a single cloth hat, there is a red face, and two eyes are blazing.

Ming Lou was walking on the road at the moment, and his mood was not very beautiful. This time, the commune also held a meeting on the implementation of the responsibility system for production. It seems that the situation is getting a little pressing. Many of the nearby villages already have joint production to work. Secretary Zhao of the commune has repeatedly told the secretary of the brigade to emancipate his mind, and to implement as soon as possible those who can produce and work in every household.

"The noun is different, but it's not a single mile?" Gao Minglou thought dissatisfiedly. In fact, he himself knows that the current new policy can indeed produce more grain and make more money, especially in the mountainous areas, and the vast majority of farmers support it.

He was not satisfied with this policy mainly from his own considerations. In the past, when the whole village was together, he didn't go out of the mountains for a day, and spent all day at home "doing work", and one full-time labor division a day was equivalent to a full-time cadre. He has the right to manage everything in the team, from money and food to big and small. Over the years, who doesn't respect him and is afraid of him in the village? If it is divided into a family and lives its own situation, who will urinate him Gaominglou! He has been a person who has been teaching people for many years, and once he loses power, it is really not a taste for him. What's even more troublesome for him is that he has to plant his own share of the land he was given! He will have to toil the land all day long, just like everyone else. He had not worked for many years, so how could he suffer this sin all at once?

In the face of the tide of powerful social change, he felt small. He can't stop the trend of society. But he thought, if you can delay it, it's really not good, at least this year it won't be divided!

He thought all the way, and before he knew it, he was almost in the village.

"Ming Lou, are you back?" Gao Minglou heard someone on the hillside next to the highway greeting him.

When he looked up, it was the old man Deshun. Although Deshun was six or seven years younger than his dead father, the two had a good relationship when they were young, and he always called the old man to do it. Although he is the leader of the village, he is very tactful in terms of human feelings, so he often shows respect for the old man of Deshun.

"Ganda, the crops in your own land this year are not bad! You can get a lot of food! He stood down and said casually to the old man in Deshun above.

"Give me a little more land, and I'll be able to get more food!" Minglou, the village next to the house is going to open a mile, why hasn't there been any movement in our village? Over the years, everyone has been mixed together, and they have all played second-rate miles, coaxing one mile, but now although they are divided into two groups, they are actually almost the same as no points! "Don't be in a hurry! How many years have we been doing it collectively, and we can divide it all at once? The two groups of wheat fields are almost finished in the past few days, right? Ming Lou changed the topic and asked the old man. The old man of Deshun put down the hoe and came down with the dry tobacco pot; The old bachelor probably didn't want to make a proposal for the secretary. He is always like this, he likes to be nosy, and often gives instructions to his cadres in production at every turn. Ming Lou generally listens to him - a farmer all his life, he can do anything.

Ming Lou saw the old man coming down the slope now, and knew that he was going to give him something again, so he had to wait patiently for him to nag for a while.

He smoked a paper cigarette for the old man in Deshun, and the two of them squatted on the side of the road.

The old man of Deshun smoked a cigarette on the lighter in Minglou and said: "Minglou, now that the wheat fields have been turned, it will be white dew soon, how can you grow wheat with a little chemical fertilizer?" In previous years, at this time, you have to go to the city to pull some thatched dung, why don't you catch this this this year? ”

Ming Lou shook his head: "In previous years, a team, what to do, the unification was arranged, this year it is divided into two groups, you are long and I am short, how can you get it?" Besides, both groups still have the ground that has not been hoeed twice, and the hands are afraid that they will not be able to pull it out. ”

"What's so hard about that? Let's go to two less people these days! Pull the two together, pull it back, and both of them can be used? ”

Ming Lou thought for a moment and said, "That's okay." And as in previous years, you take this to the table. Put on the two rack cars first, the front village will go to the two of you first, and then let the back village Qiaozhen go to the city to use her aunt's empty kiln to cook a meal for you at night. After a few days, the work in the field stopped, and a few more frame cars were set, and the two groups went to some more people. Do you think this will work? "Okay, I'll go!" Maemura first asked Garin to go. This period of hardship in the team is heavy, and the doll is not used to it, so it is called to rest for a few days; It's always lighter to pull manure. ”

Speaking of Garin, Ming Lou's face was a little red, and his mouth quickly agreed to the arrangement of the old man Deshun.

When the old man saw that his "suggestion" had been adopted by Gan'er, he got up and hoeed again. Minglou also threw away the cigarette handle, and got up and walked back again.

The old man of Deshun mentioned Garin just now, which made him think that he was born after he drove back to the village of the production team. Garin grew up watching Gao Minglou. When he was a child, he had a stubborn temper, a very hard temperament, and a smart person. In front of Zhuang Qian Village, he seems to be stronger than all dolls of his age. Gao Minglou was very interested in this doll at that time. When Garin was a school in the city, he would come back every Saturday and he would often visit Garin's house. Although he is a common man, he also likes to care about international affairs, and Garin happens to know a lot about this, and often tells him about this country and that country, and listens to a high-ranking building so that he doesn't go home in the middle of the night. He often sighed in his heart: Gao Yude has a good life! I have no ability to die for a lifetime, but I can give birth to a strong son! His own two sons were too mediocre. The eldest went to school for two years, was so stupid that he couldn't get in, he was always in the first grade, and finally had to come back and become a farmer. If it weren't for his prestige in the village, how could Liu Liben give Qiaoying to his son? Samsung didn't use the things in the team to tie up a few departments in the commune and county, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to go to junior high school. Not according to the grades, but those two years are recommended. Now I'm finally done mixing up high school. After his second son graduated from high school, he was really worried. You can't see the work next to you at a glance - now it's hard to get into the public house! He was determined to seek a position as a private teacher for his son; He did not want both of his sons to become farmers. There is a teacher's son, who is also decent outside the door. Besides, Samsung has never suffered hardship, he can't stand the labor, and if he doesn't get it, he will become a dead second-rate! He originally wanted to have the best of both worlds, and discussed with Ma Zhansheng, a commune education specialist, to see if he could go down to the village to have a teacher named Sanxingshang; It's better not to call Samsung Topgarin. He has compassion. He calculated, don't look at the dozens of families in the village, he is not afraid of anyone, but he feels that although Garin is small, he is hard-hearted and strong, and if he doesn't do it well, he may become his enemy in the future, so that he will not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life! Besides, he is old, Garin is still young, he just can't do it now, but in the future, if he gains power, his children and grandchildren will be angry! His two sons are clearly no match for Garin! Therefore, he wanted to provoke this offspring, and tried not to be a teacher in Garin.

But Ma Zhansheng immediately laughed at him, thinking too beautifully! Yes, which village is willing to give up its place to their village? In this way, he had no choice but to ruthlessly demote Garin's teacher and let Samsung go up. But after that, this matter was always a matter of concern to him. Although Gao Yude and his wife used to scold him even more, but Gao Jialin obviously hated him, Garin just started to work, and heard that the blood on his hands stained the handles red, and no one could say anything about him, so he still worked hard, saying that he wanted to make his hands rotten even more! He couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he heard this. I thought: Mom, this kid's heart is broken! From this incident, he saw that Garin was not a loose product. So his heart disease got worse and worse.

The reason why Gao Minglou has ruled Gaojia Village for many years shows that he is not a simple person. He is scheming, and his thinking has many more turns than ordinary croppers.

Gao Minglou walked all the way with his head down, thinking about this matter, and felt that there was no good way to make his mind more peaceful.

He walked to the fork in the road of the Dama River, raised his head and took a picture of the village, and suddenly saw his in-law Liu Liben smoking a cigarette under an old jujube tree. He thought to himself: I probably bought a cheap horse in Inner Mongolia, waiting to give him a mile!

Liu Liben finished eating at his mother's house, so he waited here for the Ming Building.

The humiliating things his daughter did to him made him feel that he was a few inches lower. He now wants Ming Lou to clean up Garin first and suppress this in advance. Then I have to find someone for Qiaozhen right away. If you can get married this year, you can get married, and you can't delay next year at the latest. The woman is big, she doesn't look for people, she says something will happen! He also wanted Ming Lou to come forward and persuade Qiaozhen to marry Ma Lian in the horse shop. He is a secretary and has a big face!

Gao Minglou walked under the jujube tree and naturally squatted on the opposite side of Liben. The two parents' families gave up some cigarettes first. Minglou thinks that the cigarettes are too hard, and Liben thinks that the paper cigarettes are boring. The two of them had to suck their own one. "How? Bought a bargain again, right? How much money can I earn? Ming Lou asked his businessman's in-laws. Earn money to top a ball! Riben shouted rudely, limping his head in a trance.

"It's the first time I've heard you take money properly." Ming Lou showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and at the same time, he didn't know what his in-laws were unhappy about. Seeing his angry face, he asked, "What's wrong with you?" You've been making money so fast this year that you've burst your pockets, aren't you satisfied? Now this policy is your good policy! He couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

"Okay, don't be sarcastic. I'm getting oil on my feet right now! Liu Liben spread his two arms towards his in-laws, and his face showed a crying look.

When Gao Minglou saw him like this, he also became serious and said, "I've been crying for a long time and I don't know who you're crying for!" You think you've got something going on! ”

Liu Liben threw the half-cut cigarette he was smoking on the grass next to him, and said uncomfortably: "Qiaozhen has done something embarrassing for me!" ”

"So good doll, what's going on?" Gao Minglou asked in surprise.

"Alas, it's hard to mention! Gao Yude's immoral son seduced me Qiaozhen, and ran crazy outside in the dark field, making the whole village stormy. Look how much of a man I am now! Liu Liben swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hooked his head back uncomfortably. Gao Minglou smiled suddenly: "Ha, I thought something was wrong!" Isn't it just the two of them falling in love? "Shit love! didn't even have a matchmaker, fooling around outside in the middle of the night, and shamed the ancestors to death! Liu Liben raised his head and roared angrily.

Gao Minglou wiped away the saliva that Liu Liben splashed on his face, and said, "Liben, you go to the state and county all day to do business, why are you still so old-fashioned?" You haven't eaten pork, you haven't even heard a pig hum? Are young people still like we used to be? You haven't seen much more! A few years ago, I had to visit Dazhai once, passing by Xi'an and Taiyuan, and saw young men and women in the city, walking arm in arm in front of the crowd on the street! At first, I felt uncivilized when I saw it, but after I got used to it, I felt that people were civilized......" Liu Liben listened to his in-laws' words, and was angry and disappointed. He originally wanted to ask Ming Lou to train Gao Jialin, but he didn't expect Ming Lou to teach him. His lips twitched and he said, "What is Garin?" If you can't write or martial arts, you will spoil my Qiaozhenli! Gao Minglou glared: "I'm afraid that Garin won't be able to look down on Qiao Zhenli!" As long as everyone looks at it, you can not come, and they say that people spoil your woman! ”

"What's Garin's deal? I can't work, I can't do business, and I will have a bad future in the future! "People are high school students, and you don't know a liter of big characters!"

"High school students ass the ass! Not to poke the cow's ass yet? Liu Liben pursed his lips lightly, and added: "The cow's butt can't be poked!" ”

Gao Minglou moved his body to Liben's side, and began to persuade his in-laws bitterly: "Good Libenli, your vision is too short-sighted." You can't underestimate Garin at all. It's not me saying miles, in this river, there are not many young people as old as him, and there are not many of them. He can write, draw, sing, pull, have a hard temperament, scheming and cleverness, and have a manly spirit! Don't look at you and me, we are called 'powerful people' and 'two-capable people', he is the real capable person in the village in the future! What can't he learn? If he is willing to do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch him on a horse! Now I'm taking his teacher down. In order to call Samsung. To be clear, I'm a little bit stronger. In the future, if there is a vacancy, I will find him a living! If he and Qiaozhen get married, won't he become related to me? Liu Liben didn't think much of what he said. He snorted in his nose and said, "Look at Gao Yude, what kind of family is that?" The walls are collapsed and the courtyard is rotten, and there is no money at home! Gao Yude is dead and incapable, what can he do with Garin? ”

"Hah! Where do valuable things come from? It's not earned by people yet? As long as it stands, there will be anything! As for whether Gao Yude has the ability or not, it can't get in the way. Qiaozhen is looking for a son-in-law. It's not looking for a father-in-law! Don't look at his family, he is poor now, Garin can build his home! What were you and I like? In the old society, didn't you Lao Tzu and my Lao Tzu work for the landlord Liu Dazhang? ”

Liu Liben was still not impressed by his in-laws' eloquence, but stood up in a flash, and said angrily: "Don't pour me clear rice soup!" I've got long eyes! Can't you see the future of Gao Yude's family clearly? I can't look down on his unsuccessful son! You can talk with a glossy face! Qiaozhen is my woman, I can't put her in the black puddle! "You can't look at it, but Qiaozhen can look at it!" See what else you can do! Gao Minglou also stood up, feeling that his in-laws were already a little ridiculous.

"I can't help it? I'm going to break the legs of his turtle offspring!" "Huh? Look at what you can! …… Good dear family, you are angry, I can't convince you. But don't be too reckless! This is now all free love, and the law protects marriage! As long as the dolls agree, don't talk about Niang Laozi, even the king of heaven can't control it! You dare to move your hands and feet, be careful of the law rope of the Public Security Bureau! Gao Minglou is the secretary of the brigade after all, and he understands the law and policy, so he immediately took out this weapon to warn his in-laws. Liu Liben was indeed frightened by his words. He was stunned for a long time, slapped himself on the head, turned around and left Minglou, and strode away alone. For the first time today, the two parents' families didn't talk about each other!

Gao Minglou walked slowly behind him to his home. He thought to himself: Liu Liben is a good way to do business, but he is really not shrewd in other aspects.

According to Ming Lou's idea, it is best for Qiaozhen to marry Garin. On the one hand, he felt that it was indeed good for Qiaozhen to find such a son-in-law; On the other hand, he is very willing to become a burden with Garin and his eldest son, and in the future, he will be close to the three families of Liben and form a book, and he will be strong in the village. In this way, Garin became a relative of him, and he was embarrassed to hate him for being a teacher. Originally, Gao Minglou was a little happy when he heard Liben talk about thisβ€”he was thinking about how to quell the flames of Garin's hatred of him along the way! Now that he sees that his in-laws are so resolutely opposed to this matter, he can't figure out what the outcome of the matter will be.
