The big stubborn man scolded and scolded, the cigarette pouch and pot knocked three times, and the yak was confused, and it took him a long time to understand the taste.

It turned out that this evening, he gave his share of milk to Erlaizi, and his father did not receive the milk.

Yakzi told the truth, explained to his father and mother, the big stubborn man didn't understand, he always felt that the yak didn't even have this privilege, and the deputy captain of the production team deserved to be a wreck.

"This day, I don't know what you're busy outside, people are rushing to make baskets at home in the winter leisure time to do some side jobs, your brothers are good, one guards the cow and doesn't go home, the other goes east and west and doesn't have idleness, don't earn two pocket money, why spend you for the New Year?" The big stubborn man said: "I still want to build a house, the yard is in a mess, the stones have not landed yet, and you have no points in your head, so you have a dog's head." ”

He knew that he couldn't be justified in front of his father, so he didn't talk back to his father, but his father reminded him that it was time to hit the stone.

The stone that he thought of was for the production team, not for himself, and his own stone could not be made until the production team's stone was finished.

In the winter leisure season, the labor force of the Xingfutun production team goes to work, and the main task is to do some side jobs for the production team.

The production team sent some male laborers to help the forest farm carry wood in exchange for wood and firewood, and some male laborers went to the stone quarry to beat stones to earn subsidies from the commune in exchange for agricultural materials.

If the female members are willing to work, they will brush the budding rice nests and straw leaves for the production team to make feed for cattle and sheep; Or pick hemp in the team club and use it to play hemp rope, anyway, there is always some idle work to do.

At this time, the farm work of the production team is not tired, suitable for grinding foreign workers, and the members of the club free up their time and physical strength to return home to weave mats, weave soil blue, and weave baskets, and the supply and marketing cooperatives can purchase them in a unified manner, which can be exchanged for some pocket money.

Let's say that the yak went to the production team early the next morning to register for stones, and saw Liu Zhishu again.

As soon as they met, Liu Zhishu said: "Yakzi, I told you yesterday about buying cows, but I didn't say it, you are right, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”

"Thank you Liu Zhishu for your understanding." He said with relief.

"Don't thank me, the problem is much more complicated than you think." Liu Zhishu said, "Zou Jie, the women's director of the commune, went directly to your production team, have you seen it?" ”

"See." He replied.

"How?" Liu Zhishu asked.

He told the truth and told Liu Zhishu about the application and report to the commune, and enlisted the support of the production brigade.

When Liu Zhishu heard what he said, he suddenly opened his mouth, did not hesitate, and immediately agreed to do so.

The yak registered to beat stones, including the matter of exchanging his own labor for stones, Liu Zhishu did not say a word, and immediately agreed.

At the end, Liu Zhishu asked: "Yakzi, I asked you to write about the party application, I want to hear what your attitude is." ”

"Thank you Liu Zhishu for valuing me, I'm preparing." At the mention of this, the yak was a little embarrassed.

"Don't thank me, thank the party organization, it was the party organization that chose you and has confidence in you." Liu Zhishu looked at the yak and kept nodding his head in appreciation: "You can do it, you must do it, you are a rare good seedling." Yakzi, if you have time to come to my house tonight, let your aunt prepare a few side dishes, let's drink two cups, and I will tell you about the party's history and program. ”

"This ...... This ......" the Yak didn't know how to reply.

"You don't need this or that, it's decided." Liu Zhishu couldn't help but object, "You should know, my family lives in the third production team, you will come in the evening, and when the time comes, I will ask your sister Liu Tong to meet you at the intersection." ”

Sister, Liu Tong?

A clear shadow immediately flashed in his mind.

Liu Tong is the second daughter of Liu Zhishu, when she was in junior high school in her early years, she knew her, she was one grade lower than Yanzi, and she was a proud little princess on campus at that time.

In the impression of the bar, Liu Tong married a miner in the city a few years ago. Why did Liu Zhishu say that she should be greeted at the intersection at this time? It is estimated that she has returned to her parents' house.

It's inconvenient to ask, and there's no reason to decline. In his capacity, it was a great honor for him to be invited by the secretary of the production brigade, and to refuse the invitation was disrespectful to the leadership, not to mention that Liu Zhishu had a good reason to train him to join the party.

He said goodbye to Liu Zhishu and rushed back to Xingfutun.

I want to go to Liu Zhishu's house as a guest in the evening, and when I go to someone's house for the first time, I can't leave my hands without gifts. However, there was really nothing to get his hands on.

He had been pondering this all the way, and suddenly he had an idea and was ready to invite Grandpa Gao to go up the mountain to hunt together.

Back at Xingfutun, he prepared his shotgun, went to the dairy farm, borrowed a horse from Toya, and rode straight to the Dongshan orchard.

When the old man Gao saw the yak and heard that he was going to go up the mountain to hunt, he immediately came to his senses, quickly prepared guns and ammunition, and prepared for action.

A few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall, and there was a lot of snow in the mountains, and the crows of wild roosters could often be heard in the eastern mountains.

Yakzi and the old man Gao walked into the East Mountain, and on the snow in the mountain nest, they soon found the paw prints of the pheasant, followed the paw prints to find, and found the trace of the pheasant without much difficulty.

The two people have a clear division of labor, the yak is rushing to the mountain, and the old man is waiting at a high place.

Suddenly, a pheasant flew up, right in the direction of the tall old man.

said that it was too late and that was fast, the old man Gao did not hesitate, and raised his hand, "Bang!" "With just one shot, a female pheasant was knocked down.

Yakzi walked through the snow and picked up the pheasant through the trees, admiring Grandpa Gao's marksmanship, and then, he wanted to show himself.

However, the sound of gunfire startled the nearby prey, and they flew and ran, and they were never seen again for a while.

The grandfather and grandson went far away, the hard work paid off, in a willow hairy dianzi, and found the traces of the pheasant, this time the old man drove away, the yak prepared, and finally let the yak seize the opportunity to lay down a male pheasant.

Old man Gao was still unsatisfied, and he repeatedly persuaded him before he agreed to go home. I heard that the carp was going to the house of the secretary of the brigade Liu to be a guest, and the old man Gao reminded the carp to have a few more eyes.

A pair of pheasants arrived, and the yaks went home to change into clean clothes, bring gifts, and rush to Liu Zhishu's house in the evening.

When he walked to the intersection of the third production team, he saw a person waiting there from a distance, probably the daughter of Liu Zhishu.

Yakzi walked closer, and sure enough, it was Liu Tong.

At this time, Liu Tong was a little blessed, but he was still graceful and charming.

"Brother Yakzi, it's really you, do you still know me?" Liu Tong was overjoyed when he saw the yak.

"I don't know anyone, and I don't know you, you were the little princess on our campus back then." Yakzi greeted, "Hello Liu Tong, I've kept you waiting." ”

"Hee~hee~, I'm not a little princess, I'm about to become a yellow-faced woman now."

At this time, Liu Tong saw the yak carrying a pair of pheasants, and asked in surprise, "Ah, where did this come from?" ”

"I went up the mountain to fight today." Yakzi said.

"You know how to hunt?" Liu Tong's eyes showed envy.

"Well, it's okay." He asked, "When did you come back to your mother's house?" ”

"It's been back a long time ago, almost a year." Liu Tong said, his mood instantly dropped, and tears flashed in his eyes.

When he saw this scene, he was puzzled.

The flower magpies on the branches of the poplar trees on the side of the road were chirping, and the yaks and Liu Tong walked side by side to the third production team.

It was very awkward for Yakzi and Liu Tong to walk together, but Liu Tong was the opposite, repeatedly approaching Yakzi.

"Brother Yakzi, listen to my father, you may have done it, and now you have become a celebrity, and there is no one in ten miles and eight villages who doesn't know you." Liu Tong complimented the yak, "My father has summarized it for you, what endure humiliation and carry heavy burdens to engage in steel, win the red flag at the call of a hundred people, forget the selfish courage and take responsibility, and buy cows thousands of miles away, you can really do it." ”

"No matter how capable you are, you are a big old man, not as good as you people in the city." The yak was absent-minded and disapproving.

"I'm not going back to the city, how good the countryside is, I like our people's commune." Liu Tong expressed his stance on the topic mentioned by the yak, and looked at the yakzi with a small mouth.

"Well, your home in the city...... Didn't my brother-in-law work in a coal mine? He asked tentatively.

"The others are gone, and at this time last year, there was an accident in the mine...... It's been a year. Liu Tong wiped his tears as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, shouldn't have asked." He didn't expect it, so he hurriedly explained.

"It's nothing, it's all gone, I've come out of the nightmare." Liu Tong muttered, "It's a pity, blame me for not being angry, and I didn't leave him a man and a woman." ”

When he heard Liu Tong say this, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Liu Tong is very close to each other, and outsiders see them as close friends, or a pair of lovers.

The sun is sunny in his heart, and there is no obscurity. The pair of pheasants in his hand are a little swaggering, attracting a lot of attention from people in Tunli, especially children.

The male pheasant has a beautiful appearance, especially the long tail that makes children look novel.

In the third production team, some members and the masses knew the yak, and the sudden arrival of the yak, Liu Tong was by his side, which made some people have associations.

The good things he did for Xingfu Tun, especially the purchase of cows for Xingfu Tun, his reputation has long been outside, and he was recognized as a powerful man, and even raised him to the level of "getting happiness for Xingfutun".

It is a pro-three-way direction, and the members of the third production team saw Yakzi and Liu Tong walking together, as if they smelled the fragrance of milk, and some people even ran to tell each other about it.

He didn't know it, and greeted people he knew, not noticing the mysteries hidden in the eyes of these people.

It didn't take much effort, Liu Tong led the yak into the house.

Liu Zhishu's house is an ordinary three-room thatched house, with a vegetable garden in front and fruit trees in the back, and the yard is cleaned up.

It was cold, and the moment the door opened, a cloud of heat came out of the room, and it was impossible to see who was who on the other side.

Yakzi handed over the two pheasants to Liu Tong, Liu Tong pulled the yaks into the house, and when they arrived at the back room, Liu Zhishu was making dumplings with his wife.

When he saw this scene, he felt not flattered, but panicked.
