On the way to Shuangshui Village, when Wang Manyin and Sun Shaoping chatted, they could obviously feel that the other party was different.

This descendant from the valleys and valleys of the Loess Plateau has lived in the city for more than a year, and is undergoing some kind of transformation from the inside out.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people standing on the side of the yard outside the old father-in-law's house from a distance.

Similar to Wang Qiusheng's house, the old father-in-law's house has now become a chat venue, and there are many people around almost every day. Especially those elderly mothers-in-law and aunts are idle, and they will come with needles and threads after eating. Talking while working, staying for a long time.

The three children had sharp eyes, and when they saw their grandparents, they immediately shouted at the top of their voices: "Grandma, my uncle is back!" ”

Soon, two children on the opposite side ran over to greet them, but they were Huzi and Yajie of Shao'an's family.

Afraid that they would fall, Lan Xiang chased after them.

When they got closer, the two little ones seemed to be a little recognizable. I watched with my eyes and didn't dare to approach.

"Why, I don't know my second father, look at what I bought for you......" As he spoke, Shaoping took out two loaves of bread from his satchel.

When he was in Jar Village before, he also brought snacks to his niece and nephew.

"Brother-in-law, sister, you're back." Lan Xiang greeted with a smile. She had returned to the village half a month ago, and she had been to the village several times during this time, occasionally helping out with some work.

Seeing a few people coming back, the people in the village greeted each other.

Shao Ping smiled and responded one by one.

Wang Manyin took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed the cigarettes one by one, even those mothers-in-law and aunts did not fall.

In recent years, many mothers-in-law and aunts have smoked dry tobacco, and some are even more powerful than men.

At this moment, many people saw Sun Yuhou's son and son-in-law's family, and they were full of envy in and out of their words.

The life of the Sun family is getting more and more prosperous, and now it can definitely be called the first in Shuangshui Village. The eldest son and daughter-in-law both work in the public unit. The youngest son was admitted to college, and he will definitely eat commercial food when he comes out in a few years.

The former second-rate son-in-law is also not simple. Now the family runs a small business, and it is said that they can earn half a pig a day. Otherwise, the consignment point will not be given up.

Just look at Wang Manyin's cigarette just now, and he didn't even frown when he shot a box.

When many people discussed in private, they all said that the cliff of the Sun family had good feng shui and occupied the land.

Not only them, but even Sun Yuhou thinks so.

Everyone still has eyesight, knowing that Shaoping has just come back, and he must have something to say to his family.

After a while, they got up and left.

Orchid handed her mother what she had brought, and rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.

When it comes to cooking, the three old men can't get involved, so they simply sit in the courtyard and chat.

During this period, Sun Yuhou took the initiative to mention the matter of Wang Manyin's field. He knew that his son-in-law and his son-in-law were focused on petty business, and they didn't care about serving the crops at all.

As a sufferer, Sun Yuhou has a deep affection for the field, and he really doesn't want to see such a situation. He even said that if the two of them were too busy, they could help.

"Dad, it's okay, Orchid and I casually delayed for a day and a half, and then we got the field right." Of course, Wang Manyin would not let his old father-in-law work for his family, so he hurriedly refused.

While a few people were talking, they heard a voice outside the courtyard.

"Brother, I heard that Shaoping is back?"

Immediately, Sun Yuting and his family entered the courtyard, followed by the youngest daughter.

When He Fengying saw Shaoping, a smile appeared on her face: "In the morning, I heard the magpie chirping at the door, and I felt that there must be something good today." As a result, I heard that Shaoping is back! ”

With the Shao'an and Shaoping brothers having a future, He Fengying couldn't shake up anymore. She didn't look down on Liu Erni at all before, but now she takes the initiative to say hello, as if she has completely changed someone.

"Second father, second mother, you are here!" Although Shaoping was a little disgusted with the second father and his family, he didn't show it on his face.

Sun Yuting and He Fengying's purpose in coming to the door was very simple, that is, they planned to stay here at noon to eat. The eldest daughter of his family is seventeen years old this year, and the second woman is fifteen years old, and they have reached the age of knowing shame, but they have not followed.

Hearing Sun Yuhou's polite words, the two of them immediately pushed the boat down the river and agreed.

Liu Erni is a kind person, and when the meal is about to be ready, she specially asked Lan Xiang to call Sun Yuting's eldest woman and the second woman over to eat together.

In addition, Shao'an and his family generally do not go home at noon, but stay in the commune canteen to eat.

There were more than a dozen people, large and small, and Liu Erni made two tables of dishes as usual. In addition to the stewed pheasant, two large bowls of eggs are also specially fried. After opening a sales outlet at home, there is no shortage of eggs, and I have to cook one for my grandchildren every day.

Sun Yuting came over today, not just to ask for a drink.

After the meal was served, he drank a few glasses of wine and asked tentatively: "Man Yin, you are well-informed." Do you know what the charter of this package production to the household is, and will it be canceled in the future? I've heard that there are still a lot of places that are still too collective. ”

Hearing this, He Fengying, who was sitting at another table, also turned her head, her face full of anticipation.

Over the years, Sun Yuting has been serving as the deputy branch secretary of Shuangshui Village, and He Fengying is the village women's director. What had happened in the past few months had made the two of them feel like a dream.

Although the two of them lived a poor life before, they were also admired in the village, and they had to worry about big and small things.

After losing their dear collective, the two of them felt like children who no one cared for, and their lives suddenly came to an end.

The faces of the people in the village changed, and some of them didn't even say hello when they saw them.

So from the bottom of their hearts, the two prefer to live the same life as before. As long as you are busy in the village with meetings, writing slogans and shouting slogans, you can have food and not worry about hunger at all.

As it is now, you need to work in the fields yourself.

Sun Yuting lies at home every day, flipping through the newspaper, hoping to find some good news. It's a pity that after such a long time, there has been no movement at all.

After being scolded by his brother some time ago, he had to carry a hoe to the ground.

However, after dinner in the evening, Sun Yuting often had to go to the brigade headquarters to hang around, and by the way, he chatted with Tian Futang and recalled the scenery some time ago.

Wang Manyin knew Sun Yuting very well, so he naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"Second Dad, you read the newspaper every day, haven't you seen the direction of the wind clearly? Guaranteed production to households is the trend of the times......"

After asking a rhetorical question, he said no more.

A few days ago, an authoritative newspaper published a front-page commentary, mentioning that it was necessary to "work boldly on the basis of practical testing." The article deliberately gives an example: A certain production team secretly implemented the production responsibility system last year, and this year the whole team increased its grain output by more than 30,000 catties, and the average yield per mu increased by more than 150 catties.

The meaning of this comment is already very obvious.

Only people like Sun Yuting will pretend to cover their eyes and not see it, hoping to continue to live a large collective life.

After listening to Wang Manyin's words, the two of them immediately felt that the food was not fragrant.

Not long after eating, they left with their children.

There were no outsiders, Shaoping took the initiative to speak again: "Brother-in-law, let's go out for a walk?" ”

Wang Manyin immediately understood that his brother-in-law had something to do and went out in response.

The two of them stepped on the mud and climbed all the way up the mountain next to them.

Just after a rain, the Loess Plateau looks more and more verdant and green.

"Brother-in-law, I'm sure you know. In the past year or so, earth-shaking changes have taken place outside. Shaoping stood on a high place, glanced at the rolling loess valley in the distance, and finally spoke.

"It's not quiet in college, is it?" Wang Manyin asked with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, can you guess what I'm going to say?" Sun Shaoping turned his head in surprise. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law already knew his mind as soon as he said the beginning.

"What's so hard to guess about this, just look at the group of educated youths who cut in line at the Shibi Festival in the early years. Young people are the most enthusiastic, eighteen or nineteen years old, lawless, dare to think and act. ”

"To put it nicely, you college students should be regarded as the pride of the sky and the trendsetters of the times...... It is also the most receptive to new things and new ideas! ”

"Well, it's a lot of discussion at school. I also joined a literary club, and these people were even more daring in their arguments...... Some of them make perfect sense to me, and some of them sound confusing......"

"Literary club, are there any poets who are engaged in literature?" Wang Manyin asked subconsciously.

"Yes, there are a lot of poets," Shaoping didn't know what his brother-in-law meant, but nodded.

"Shaoping, I suggest you better stay away from these people who are engaged in literature." Wang Manyin couldn't help but admonish.

He knew early on that his brother-in-law had a bit of a literati temperament, and he usually liked to think about life when he had nothing to do.

And after experiencing the stormy times, now the mouth is open. A storm of new ideas is blowing into the campus.

Many students regard these as fashionable things, but they don't know that with their experience, they can't distinguish between what works and what is dross.

The more they see in books or in reality, the more uncertain they are about the future. I think I know how to think, but I only go superficially. I only saw the storm, but I didn't see the rainbow and the sun behind it.

There is no way to solve the confusion and confusion in the heart, so it will seem particularly painful. In the end, unconsciously disoriented.

Especially those who are engaged in literature, their ideas are indescribable.

In the years that followed, new concepts emerged. What scar literature, comeback literature, firewall literature, and so on. These words are full of scrutiny, introspection, and negation of life, as if the whole society is wrong, and everyone is drunk and sober.

There are also poems, hazy poems, experimental poems...... It's also confusing, it's just a group of demons dancing.

For modern poetry, Wang Manyin has never had a good impression. He felt that most of the so-called modern poetry was a fiddling with textual techniques. Either it is written in a mysterious way, and no one can understand it; Either moaning without illness and worrying about the new words.

To say something ugly is hypocrisy, just thinking too much.

A few decades later, some people created a pear flower body, and a poem of the second generation of, pee, and fart. It seems that as long as you can hit enter, everyone can be a poet. One of the poems that has been widely circulated on the Internet is: "There is no doubt / that I make the pie / is the best in the whole world"

Like this kind of poem, Wang Manyin can write at least eighty poems a day.

It is precisely because of these things that Wang Manyin is afraid that his brother-in-law will think too much, and finally get into the tip of the horns.

He pondered for a moment, then organized his words and said, "Shaoping, it is a good thing for young people to know how to think, and it is normal to have ideas. But you should understand whether these ideas were conjured up by yourself or from books. How do you know that the idea in the book must be correct. Why isn't it fooling? Especially in those books from abroad, some of the words describe a seemingly compassionate attitude, but in fact they are just secretly rhythmic, selling anxiety for the whole society. ”

After experiencing the Internet storm in later generations, Wang Manyin is too familiar with these.

"We have to read not only books, but also changes in society,...... You are young and have time to see more. ”

"A lot of things can only be concluded when we look at them in 20 or 30 years. At that point, your mind will definitely change. ”

These words are actually what Wang Manyin thinks and feels after the experience.

When he was in college, he was also fascinated by some public speech. What conscience sewer, what country toilet water can drink......

After a long time, with the increase of experience, Wang Manyin knew that he could not just look at what others said, but also have his own judgment ability.

Before he crossed, as the kingdom became more and more powerful, many speeches had no market at all.

After listening to his brother-in-law, Shaoping couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

"What's wrong, what's on my face?" Wang Manyin asked with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, these are the ?!! you think of"

"Shaoping, not going to college doesn't mean you don't have knowledge, your brother-in-law and I haven't given up studying all these years."

In the past ten years, Wang Manyin has not been idle, constantly recharging himself.

"Brother-in-law, I'm really impressed with you again...... After listening to your words, I do feel a little bit of a bull's horn! ”

"It's best to think like that, you're going to have to stay at home for a while anyway. You can come over often, we can talk more! Wang Manyin knew that just a few words from himself were not enough to make his brother-in-law completely change his mind.

However, there is a month off, and there is time.

After a few rains, the knowledge on the Loess Plateau gradually increased. Especially in the east mountains, the soil and water conservation has been very good over the years, and it is surprising to know more.

Every night, the broken babies in the village will carry flashlights together and constantly grope for bombs in the woods.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can catch more than 10 birds in one night.

Even on the side of Wang Manyin's house, near the root of the tree, you can see the cave everywhere. In this regard, he has speculated, which may be related to his frequent watering.

The three guys are also very keen on catching the know, and as long as they drop the bowl at night, they will leave the house with a flashlight. The two of them didn't stop them, they just told them to be careful.

As the days passed, Wang Manyin and his mother-in-law were constantly busy frying spiced melon seeds.

In their spare time, Shaoping and Lan Xiang will also come over to help.

In addition, Laixi and Xie Liansheng went to the county seat to study maintenance.

Wang Manyin lacked a manpower here, and found Wang Mingqiang's Lai Baozi in time to replace him. Lai Baozi is a nickname, this person's name is Wang Aimin, and he is Wang Mingqiang's second son.

After living in the village for so many years, Wang Manyin understands the temperament and temperament of each child. He looked for Lai Baozi, and naturally took a fancy to this kid who was down-to-earth and didn't care about the other party's ingredients.

Wang Mingqiang's hat has been buckled for more than ten years, and it was taken off last year. Over the past year or so, the family has slowly adapted to it and has begun to dare to walk around the village with their heads up.
