Chapter 145: The Autumn Wind Rises

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

On the second day, this matter not only spread all over the city in Xingfutun, but the production team already knew that it was impossible for Zhao Yimin to follow Captain Wang Kui's suggestion and deal with it in a low-key manner.

In the afternoon, Zhao Kai, the commander of the militia company of the brigade, led the militia and arrested Zhang Shijie's mother to the militia company of the brigade for interrogation.

Why did Zhang Shijie's mother steal bud rice?

Through Zhang Shijie, he learned that Zhang Shijie's family has been short of grain and rice since spring, and he can't open the pot.

In the past few months, Zhang Shijie's family of eight people has almost relied on flour made of wild vegetables, elm bark and accumulated acorns to satisfy their hunger.

Finally survived until the beginning of autumn, and the barley in Zhang Shijie's own land was not yet ripe, and it had already been eaten up.

Adults can still support it, Zhang Shijie's younger brother and sister are young and really hungry, so Zhang Shijie's mother took the risk and did such an unsightly thing.

However, hunger is only the reason for stealing, and not in any case a reason for stealing.

The members of the commune have always despised and spurned theft, and the People's Commune has always had zero tolerance for stealing grain from the fields, and Zhang Shijie's mother was no exception.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Shijie's mother hung a sign on her chest that read the bud thief and his name and surname, and the militia of the brigade carried them at gunpoint, beat gongs and cymbals, and paraded the streets of various villages to show the public.

Parades like Zhang Shijie's mother are nothing new for the members.

This incident happened to Zhang Shijie's mother, and the parents and villagers who knew the roots of happiness were more sympathetic to her than laughing.

However, Zhang Shijie's mother, as the person concerned, felt a great shame, not only did she have no face to see people, but also made her family unable to raise their heads in front of her parents and fellow villagers.

The parade is not only for one day, but also more than once, and it is not limited to the seven villages of the Happy Production Brigade.

Shame is not endless, humiliation is endless, who can endure this shame.

Zhang Shijie's mother was paraded through the streets all day, and a thought had already bred in her heart that she didn't want to have a second day.

At night, she was temporarily put back exhausted, did not go home, and went directly to the back ravine of Xingfutun.

There was a willow tree with a crooked neck in the back ravine, and she pulled the grass on the spot and braided a rope and tied it to the tree.

Being alive was already a luxury for her, and dying was perhaps the best relief.

It's not easy to live, and it's even harder to die. The tears at this time are not nostalgia, some are just concern and reluctance for relatives.

The sky is indifferent, the earth is ruthless, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Shijie's mother was heartbroken and hung on this crooked-necked willow tree with a straw rope.

A person with a good nature, a weak woman, a mother of four children, old and young, did what she shouldn't have done in order to make ends meet, couldn't bear the shame, and went away with regret.

Where in this world is there a good place to put your soul? Only the living sigh.

That night, Zhang Shijie saw that his mother had not returned home, so he went to the militia company headquarters of the brigade to inquire about the militia on duty, and learned that his mother had already been released, and Zhang Shijie suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Zhang Shijie ran back to Xingfutun and found Yakzi and several good brothers looking for his mother overnight, but after tossing all night, he couldn't find anywhere.

The next morning, Zhang Shijie's mother was found in the back ravine.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and the wails of their families and the lamentations of the people in Tunli have no power to return to heaven.

In accordance with the usual practice, the Xingfutun production team made a coffin for Zhang Shijie's mother and buried it on three days.

The autumn breeze sent the deceased off, and the lonely mountains added another tomb.

The death of Zhang Shijie's mother sounded the alarm for the Xingfutun production team, and Xingfutun has more than one family situation similar to Zhang Shijie.

It was already the autumn harvest season, and the production team reported to the brigade and urgently arranged to distribute some rations to solve the urgent need.

Even so, the members are still worried, seeing that this year's production team is in arrears of production and harvest, and it is still unknown whether they can get the rations in full.

At the moment, all members can do is return to the warehouse. There is little rain in spring and summer, but there is continuous rain in autumn, often thunderstorms and strong winds, and there are few good weather.

In order to step up the harvest, the Xingfutun production team took advantage of the rare sunny days and nights when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and began to fight day and night.

The production team added a "big pot of rice" at night, sorghum rice stewed tofu, each member had a ration, reluctant to eat, took home to the children, and waited for the father and mother to bring back the meal in the middle of the night It became the expectation of the children in Tunli.

Let's say that the yak is very busy with the autumn harvest every day, but the fourth girl still keeps pestering him.

No matter what work the production captain arranges for the female members to do, the four girls are definitely with the yak, and her tomboy style is not lost to any male member. Zhao Yimin, an old party member, had no choice but to let her go.

Captain Wang Kui has been in charge of the threshing yard these days, and he felt embarrassed and angry when he heard that the four girls had gone to pester the yaks again.

However, I can't beat her anymore, I can't beat a big girl in her twenties, and I can't do it anymore when I am a father.

Wang Kui and his wife were worried, and they forced the four girls to be anxious, she could do anything, in case she was driven crazy, it would be terrible to be like Baiqiu.

Let it be, let her digest it slowly, and think about it for a long time. Perhaps, when a wishful person appears, the dead button will be untied.

Hearing that Niu Dacheng has been released, Wang Kui and Liu Shufen pinned their hopes on Dacheng again, I hope that this kid will not care about his past suspicions, as always, unswervingly, the old couple believes that only Niu Dacheng can make the four girls change their minds.

Niu Daguo was really released from prison, but he was not released, because the prison time was short, just in time for the amnesty, he was executed outside of prison, and he could not serve his sentence in prison, but his personal freedom was restricted.

Niu Dacheng really missed the four girls, and he thought about coming to the four girls a few days after he was released from prison, even if he hit the south wall again, he was unwilling to let it go.

Niu Dacheng wanted to meet the four girls, he took a trip to the city, thinking that it would be rainy this autumn, he bought a raincoat for Captain Wang Kui and an umbrella for the four girls as a gift.

On this morning, Niu Dacheng rode a bicycle and appeared in Xingfutun again with gifts.

Dahan has nothing to do, so he moves his muscles and bones in front of his own door, and does some work to prevent rain and other things he can.

As soon as Niu Dacheng came, the first person he saw was Da Han. As soon as the two rivals met, it was no longer what it used to be.

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time, figuring out each other's psychology.

Dacheng is more generous, willing to speak, and said to Da Han: "Long time no see, Brother Da Han, are you okay?" Do you still hate me? ”

"Is it useful to hate you? You have suffered no less than I have suffered. ”

Da Han had already lost his temper with Niu Dacheng, on the contrary, he felt a little guilty because he was in prison because of himself.

"I'm sorry, Brother Han, I deserve to be in prison, I made you suffer, how about the injury? Is it so good? ”

"That little injury is nothing, damn, the disaster is not a one-way street, and it makes people give it again."

"I heard, those people are ruthless enough, why don't you sue them, I will sentence two years, and they will be sentenced to three years and five years."

"Things are over, you have to forgive people and spare people, when will you repay you, just like the two of us, think about it now, why bother?" Da Han asked, "Are you here to find the fourth girl?" ”

"You're all right, are you? Brother Han, brother, I won't hide it from you, I like the four girls right, but if you two get better, I will withdraw immediately and never fight with you. ”

"Don't talk about this, if you have the ability, go to her, I like her, but she never pays attention to me, it's not that I say cowardice, compared with you, I don't have your two times, people have to accept their fate, it seems that we are just wishful thinking, we can't go together." Da Han said, "I don't underestimate you, you go and try your luck, it's hard to say whether you two are destined or not." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Han, I'm not a hero if I don't reach the Great Wall, and I won't give up if I don't go to the Yellow River, let alone the four girls, even the fourth princess, I want her to be my daughter-in-law."

"If you can bear it, then we'll see, I wish you good luck."

"You'd better not give up, see which of us can chase the four girls, and I wish you good luck."

These two young people, after a senseless sacrifice, are now relieved of their suspicions in a few words.

Let's say that Niu Dacheng came to the house of the four girls, and there was no one in the house of the four girls.

He came at an inopportune time today, Captain Wang Kui and the four girls were working on the production team.

Liu Shufen went to the mountains early this morning. In order to prepare for the famine, the walnuts, wild fruits and acorns on the oak trees on the mountains were ripe, and the common people squeezed out time and rushed to pick them.

Niu Dacheng went to the fourth girl's house and pounced, and asked the children in the tun where the four girls were harvesting, but the children didn't know, only that Captain Wang Kui was in the threshing yard.

Niu Dacheng put the bicycle and gifts in the yard of the fourth girl's house, and leisurely went all the way to the field to find the fourth girl.

As far as the eye can see, large areas of bud rice and soybeans have been harvested and dried on the ground, and sorghum and millet have been piled up.

The original potato and sweet potato fields have been planted with Chinese cabbage and radish, and they are green and growing well.

Niu Dacheng searched around, but did not find the four girls, and saw a group of half-grown children digging vole holes on the side of the mountain.

The poor vole, the underground kingdom that had been painstakingly built, was destroyed one by one by these half-sized sons and oxen Dacheng.

When the end came, the fat voles were either killed or fled for their lives.

The half-sized children collected the food that the voles had stored in their burrows and put it in their own pockets.

This is not an ordinary play, and this harvest cannot be underestimated, smashing a vole hole, sometimes harvesting a few catties of grain.

Niu Dacheng had a lot of fun with the half-sized children, and it was not early, and he returned to the tunzi.

There is still no one in the fourth girl's house, only the little yellow dog barking, but she is friendly to him.

Niu Dacheng was bored, went out for a walk, and walked towards the threshing floor of Xingfutun.
