Next to the well is the crossroads of Xingfutun intersection, there is a spring river at the south end of the crossroads, there is a stone arch bridge on the river, and the production team is not far from the stone arch bridge.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, primary cooperatives and senior cooperatives were established in the vast rural areas, and people's communes were established in August 1958.

After the establishment of the People's Commune, the name of Xingfutun was changed to the second production team of the happiness production brigade of Lushan People's Commune, and the members are still used to calling it Xingfutun production team.

Xingfutun Production Team is a compound with three houses and one stone wall, and the outer part of the compound has a cattle pen, a sheepfold and a pig house.

The south of the compound is the stone wall and a wooden archway, the left and right sides of the archway are respectively engraved with the familiar five-character couplet, the horizontal eyebrows of the round arch are engraved with the horizontal batch of "the people's commune is good", and the wide beam under the round arch is engraved with the three big characters of "Happy Tun".

In the courtyard, there were two horse-mounted carriages, as well as ploughshares and stone stones, and there was also a reel well at the corner of the stone wall.

The compound is flanked by wings, with a horse shed and forage room on one side and a grain seed warehouse and a farm tool store on the other.

In addition to the mill, mill and the room built during the "big pot rice" period, the main house of the production team is the spacious team hall of the main hall.

The auditorium of the production team is a place where members gather to fight the landlord and reminisce about the bittersweet feelings, and it is also a canteen where the members eat a big pot of rice that has not lasted long. There are also a few social dramas occasionally staged here during the New Year's holidays.

Two lanterns hung on the walls of the auditorium, dustpans, baskets and sieves were stacked on the floor, and there were several wooden tables for selecting bean seeds.

Under the south window of the auditorium is a long kang with a long bed.

At the southern end of the big kang, Zhou Yunfa, a 50-year-old bachelor who has not married a daughter-in-law, nicknamed the old naughty boy, is wrapped in tattered clothes and peeling the boiled bean cake in a circle with a double knife.

The old urchin Zhou Yunfa is the breeder in the production team, and the soybean cake is the concentrate feed filled for the horses.

On the west side of the big kang, there is a long sandy bed, and the sweet potato seedlings are on the bed, and a green seedling has grown.

At this time, a tall young man wearing a single coat and a sheepskin coat was carrying a bucket full of water in one hand and a gourd water scoop in his mouth, stopped by the sandy bed, and then skillfully watered the sweet potato seedlings one by one.

This guy is my father's father, my grandfather He Baisheng.

My grandfather told me that his big name He Baisheng has never been called by many people, because since he was a child, he has grown as strong as a yak, has the strength of a yak, is as capable as a yak, and has a temper like a yak, so everyone has always called him a yakzi.

This year, my grandfather was twenty-two years old.

This black land with mountains, rivers and forests is very nourishing.

My grandfather didn't smell the slightest bit of meat all year round, and grew up by eating sorghum rice, cornmeal buns, big dumplings, pickle gnocchi, and even chaff vegetables.

Besides, the batter quickly poured out two buckets of water.

The old urchin Zhou Yunfa was hungry and greedy, and secretly stuffed a piece of soft bean cake into his mouth.

was chewing, the yak came over and happened to bump into him stealing the bean cake, angry, and pointed at the old naughty boy with his finger: "You spit it out for me, the concentrate feed is less, you eat more, the horse will grow a lot less fat, you eat for nothing, the horse can work after eating, the production team is still counting on the horse to help, what can you do after eating?" ”

"You can eat some too, it's delicious." The old urchin graciously handed him a piece of hot bean cake.

Although he was also hungry and drooling at the food, he could control himself.

"No one is allowed to eat it, if you dare to eat it again, don't blame me for going to the kang and slapping you to death."

The boy leaned forward and made a feint, so frightened that the old urchin hurriedly put the bean cake in his hand in place and continued to work.

"Remember, water the sweet potato seedlings again at noon, water them thoroughly, and burn the kang well. I'll sweep the yard, you fold our bedding quickly, don't get up and know how to eat. ”

The old naughty boy commanded, and the old naughty boy looked at the naughty boy and smirked, revealing two ugly front teeth.

He put down the bucket, took a broom tied to birch trees, cleaned the yard, fetched a bucket of water by the well, washed his face indiscriminately, and then hurried home.

Walk across the stone arch bridge and continue on, not far away is the crossroads, next to which are the wells of men, women and children fetching water.

The four girls who were still waiting for him to see him coming, were already impatient, no matter how the people around looked at her, they just waved and shouted with their eyebrows: "Brother Yakzi, come here, come here, help me fetch water." ”

The yak came to the front unhurriedly, and originally wanted to say to the fourth girl, "Don't you have long hands?" But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Even if he had a hundred unwillingness in his heart, there was no good way to deal with this tomboy.

The four girls have always played tricks on whoever they want, and there is no reason at all.

He knew that the words spoken by the four girls could not be easily taken back.

At this time, if you ask her why she asked him to help fetch water, she will have a hundred or even a thousand reasons waiting for you.

So, it's better not to ask, and the more you ask, the more things you ask.

He had no choice but to walk over and reluctantly help the four girls fill two buckets of water.

The fourth girl looked at the yakzi with a smile: "Brother yakzi, my feet hurt today, you can help me pick it up and go home." ”

Obviously, this is intentional, the yaki saw it in his eyes, knew it but kept silent, picked up the flat pole, picked up the bucket and left.

The fourth girl said while chasing after the Yakzi: "Brother Yakzi, you slow down, don't go so fast, wait for me." ”

Although this fourth girl is called a tomboy, she is a very simple and good girl, in addition to being a little willful, she usually loves to talk and laugh, is enthusiastic and generous, goes straight, and never twists.

However, today is different, she was originally following behind the yak, and suddenly trotted in front of the yak, turned around and walked backwards, while fiddling with the flower turban, and asked the yak embarrassedly: "Brother Yakzi, do you think I look good today?" ”

He only cared about carrying water and walked forward, in fact, he had seen the four girls change into new clothes just now, but he didn't particularly care.

Now the fourth girl asked her, and he dealt absentmindedly: "Can you not look good when you spend money on it?" ”

"I didn't ask you if my clothes and floral bandana look good." The fourth girl blushed and looked up at her sweetheart.

"The clothes and the floral headscarf are very good...... You're still like that. The yak was careless and deliberately teased the four girls.

"That'...... What am I like? ”

"Tomboy-like."

He wanted to make the four girls boring, so he gave up.

However, the fourth girl seemed to have no heart and lungs, and continued to ask: "Then do you like me as a tomboy or what?" ”

"I like it when you don't ask me."

When he replied, he felt good about himself, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

The fourth girl realized that it would be boring to ask any more, so she changed the topic again.

"The clothes were given to me by my eldest sister, and the flower headscarf was bought for me by my second sister, and I was quite embarrassed to wear it for the first time today."

"If you're embarrassed, wear it, don't wear it if you're embarrassed, or you can just use scissors to cut a few holes and patch them before wearing them." The yak deliberately angered the four girls.

"I won't listen to your bad idea, I'll wear it, I'll wear it, I'll wear it for you."

The fourth girl knew that Brother Yakzi was deliberately angry with her, so she simply became petty.

She followed the yakzi, the road was originally wide, and the four girls had already squeezed the yakzi to the side of the road.

He said impatiently, "If you stay away from me, squeeze me any more, and you will fall into the ditch." ”

The fourth girl realized her gaffe at this time, and said with a red face: "Just squeeze you, who let you hide." ”

The yak walked fast, and the four girls kept taking broken steps to keep keeping up closely.

At this time, the fourth girl blamed her house for being too close to the well, and the road with Brother Yakzi was too short, and she arrived home before she could say a few words.
