Xiangjiu and Enchang, really skin-to-skin blind date, love grows like wheat seedlings, in fact, it is still very far away. There are lovers who promise each other with their hearts, the harmony of the piano, the lotus blossoms and the pedicle, and also wait for the spring breeze to blow green, and the thunder shakes the spring river. Huang Chang Enchang and Xiangjiu, the two of them stand in a pile, the shadow is in one place, and it is immediately full of brilliance, and it is really natural to set up a pair of pairs, the two of them in the front yard and back hall, see each other day and night, since both of them have a hot feeling with each other, but it is not as natural and casual as before. Seeing Enchang, although Xiangjiu tried every means to hide it, he couldn't hide the panic in his heart, thinking that he was talking about the west, and he didn't want to look at it, but his eyes didn't obey the call, and he looked at it secretly, but his eyes dodged around, but the needle pierced Enchang's heart. What about Enchang, when Enchang saw Xiangjiu, his face turned red first, and he didn't know where to say anything, he only knew how to find a job. As soon as he had free time, his feet were sticky, and he was reluctant to leave Xiangjiu, so he didn't go to the grinding room. The water tank is full, the water tank is full, he is reluctant to go, he has opened up the pigsty again, the gasket is a tiring work, Xiangjiu in addition to pouring tea and water, but also leaning on the door to dodge and look at him, the two eyes touched, it splashed out of the sparks that made people blush and hot, at this time, Xiangjiu blushed and avoided, put on an apron, dig a bowl of noodles to Enchang to make a cake, and then cut a leek in the back garden, fried two eggs and then poured a cup of sorghum wine for Enchang. Xiangjiu chews the grain for Enchang, and she doesn't carry people, she is not afraid of gossip in the front yard, the front yard is the same as holding Xu Enchang, this work is nowhere to find the lantern, there is Xiangjiu to hold people, and I can't wait for it. The front yard knows what the nameless child looks like, the monk Lai holds the Bodhisattva, there is a temple, and he is not afraid of pilgrims. No name didn't bend, no name caught up, just a bunch of wine, no name this is good, don't hide dirty heart, he treats Enchang as a brother, the two of them will talk about shadow puppets together, Enchang will also roar a few shadow puppet plays, and will so-so pull the four hu, as soon as the strings sound, no name will babble and sing, and it will be so beautiful that I don't know the north.

Enchang not only can play the four hus, but Enchang will also play suona, blow the sauce rod flute, and twist the Yangge. Enchang is a native of Huatai in the north, Huatai and Yushui, separated by a Great Wall on a high mountain, except for a slightly different accent, for shadow puppetry, Luozi and Yangge's preferences, are like a master's apprentice, and I don't know how many lives have been passed on. It is the folk customs, and it is not far off, once the spring equinox arrives at Qingming, the croppers who eat in the soil, regardless of the height of the door, men and women, young and old, all go to the grave to eat white meat, which is called recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors. The old generation passed down, cut down a few grave mountain trees, in exchange for money to slaughter fat pigs, the whole clan of men, women and children gathered on the ancestral grave, the old generation with kowtow, worshiped the ancestors of the dead, just waiting to eat white meat on the grave. The day before, the pot stove was buried, and the firewood was ready-made, and the big pot and small bowl of white meat could be made when it was served. But there is a case where cooking meat is not good for salt, and eating meat is not good for drinking. If you don't drink, you won't drink, I'm afraid you'll have committed the ancestors, and the flesh will not be salted, and the bones will be white and greasy. When the meat came up, the adults secretly touched the salt in their arms, and no one blamed them. A group of people according to the generations around the picnic, only divided into teeth, regardless of the noble and low, the people of the sect recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but also happy. In the whole year, there is only this day when you only ask about family affection, regardless of whether you are high or low. Countrymen worry about their livelihood all year round, and they all hope to have fun in the spring in the first month. Shuiyanzhuang, in the fifteen gates of a street, the New Year's festival is prosperous, singing and twisting Yangge, all of them are the highly respected characters of the village. There are not many gates along the river, and there are a lot of wealthy people, but no matter how rich the family is, it can't suppress Mr. Li Da, who lives in the village and beware of the big locust tree in the north of the house. Mr. Li Da is a scholar, named Li Yucun, and he looks at the family grave in the gatehouse, so he knows the foundation of several generations. In the life of Li Yucun, because Yucun had studied in the Jinmen Political Science and Law School, in the early years of the Republic of China, he worked as a secretary in the Yushui County Government. In his later years, he did a residence in his hometown, because of his wealth and wealth, and he was well-read, he was regarded as a village sage. At that time, there was no villager, but on an errand, Li Yucun assigned the Li family's grave keeper father and son to run errands and learn to speak, and the stupid head was all over the street to beat the gong, and his father led a few long-term workers to go up the mountain to wear pine branches and build a pine archway at the head of the village. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival, the three steps and two bridges are agreed to become customary, and the Yangge is a bridge, and the Yangge is a bridge, and the two bridges of the Yangge Hui are paid attention to, and the dry boat is on stilts and the water snake waist. Raise the seedlings from the Qingyuan temple platform in Hexi, twist to the east across the bridge to the water side village, play a field for a while, call a few passes, come to a carp to turn over, appear, and then turn back to three steps and two bridges. The villagers called the North Bridge the Cowherd, the South Bridge called the Weaver Girl, and Yangge twisted the Weaver Girl Bridge to Xingtou. The bridge is a Luoguo stone arch bridge, red men and green women twist on the high bridge, like a fairy descending to earth, and the bridge cheers in unison. Yangge suona sound, three villages tour dragons and phoenixes, so lively! Twist to the Cowherd Bridge, the place is the highest, just like the three villages of the street, the east of the bridge is the grass grain tun, the stone tower on the side of the bridge is under the root of Yan down, play a round field, twist and pinch can not get off the bridge. Qiaobei Caoliangtun is not to blame, and the high-ranking families award rewards, and they are used to this general practice every year, and they all know that there are big households in Qiaobei, and there are transactions outside. The Yangge on the head of Xing can twist vigorously, twist on the bridge to play tricks, play with the top light, and run a dry boat. The woman who runs the dry boat swings in the boat, the man twists and rocks the boat, pitching and swaying, the two of them eyebrows and eyebrows, and there are all kinds of amorous styles. said that it was watching a dry boat, the drama was all about the eyebrows, the talented women were all handsome men and beautiful women who were picked up from the crowd. In the crowd of onlookers, the man looked at the figure and face of the boatwoman, and the woman looked at the boatman, and saw that her own husband was not as good as people. Men and women who are old-fashioned and accustomed to a year, their suppressed love always has to be vented and always gushing, rocking the dry boat and twisting Yangge, the most applauded, red men and green women are blind once, and they can be regarded as enjoying the blessing of the eyes and beating a tooth sacrifice. Yangge performance to the hearty, someone put on the red silk jacket Xiangjiu replaced on the dry boat, everyone's eyes lit up, Xiangjiu did not smile brightly, eyes are still in front and back left and right, some people understand Xiangjiu's thoughts, not waiting to say clearly, someone pushed the Yangge team on the dry boat. In the three steps and two bridges, the wind has long spread the wind and rumors, but it is like a shallow mountain spring, which has not yet flowed into a noisy stream. As the saying goes, a good man doesn't have a good wife, Lai Han marries a flower branch, people's hearts are scales, and they have suffered for a long time, how many people don't say anything, and they are all dumb and eat dumplings, and they have a lot of grievances for them. Leng Ding and the two made a brilliant appearance, and the crowd was stunned for a moment, first like the cold water under the bridge, and then the spring breeze and rain made the spring river noisy, cheering and jubilating. On a whim, Xu Enchang shook the dry boat to the wind and water, and Xiangjiu was also radiant and looked forward to the streamer, like a spring bottle, while secretly raising and sending autumn waves with Enchang's light eyebrows, while holding a silk fan, shaking the wind and dancing butterflies. In three steps and two bridges, Xu Enchang, who has grown into a beautiful man, has made many women peep and be greedy in their hearts, and today the stars hold the moon and press Enchang and Xiangjiu into a boat, and it is also the heart of the ape and the horse to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to point out selfishness. The Yangge dry boat was twisting lively, and suddenly there was a small commotion over there, it turned out that someone pulled the nameless child over from nowhere, poked the nameless child to the dry boat as a supporting role, and pulled the rope. Nameless and young-hearted, and belongs to that kind of person who is crazy, can't stand up to everyone to coax the seedlings, and the nameless child follows the suona drum, and really pulls up the dry boat, staggering, and shaking three times in one step. The nameless stumbling and obscenity, and the handsome men and beautiful women of Enchang Xiangjiu, formed a strong contrast, and formed a strong dramatic effect in an instant, almost making the audience laugh out of tears. It didn't take long for the suona gongs and drums to suddenly be hoarse, and the crowd instantly condensed into laughter, only to see Xiangjiu escape from the dry boat, take off the colorful silk clothes, and escape from the crowd without thinking.

Although Yangge was cold that day, the three steps and two bridges remembered the appearance of Yangge for a long time. After careful inquiry, I found out that Xiangjiu's father was born in Guluanzhou Film Society, and in his early years, he married a widowed artist who rapped Jingdong drums and dragged oil bottles. Liu Xiangjiu, the daughter brought by the female artist, took her stepfather's surname, but she relied on her mother's hard life. En's long life is even more bitter, his parents died when he was a child, and he only remembers his father's stage name Little Walnut, who is a drummer in the Yongping countryside sedan bar. No wonder Xiang Jiu can sing and dance, no wonder Enchang can cut the root of the sauce stick at will, and twist a willow branch to listen to the drunken half-pull cottage.

A Yangge meeting, so that the two narrowed the distance, since knowing Enchang's life experience, Xiangjiu regards Enchang as a brother, sister and brother are commensurate with less mustard, one is a woman who marries far away, the other is an orphan who has no relatives, fate makes the two sympathize with each other, warm each other, and pity each other. Xiangjiu's maternal soup and water are swept together and simmered, so that the young man lost his mother's love, and grew up with a crazy attachment to women. He took up the land of the two families by himself, so that the owner Ai Shutian was satisfied, what did the two of them not know? Just because of the benefits in their hands, the sparrows in the trees chirped happily, and the two of them closed the door and bit their ears to steal the fun.

But the good days didn't last long, but it wasn't Liu Xiangjiu or Xu Enchang who caused the accident, but it was Xiangjiu's husband who was afraid of smashing his head even with leaves, and he was known as the nameless Ai Rentian. It turned out that the ground in eastern Hebei in 1947 was not calm. In Yushui County in 1947, the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army controlled the northern mountains, and the Liuzhen Plain in the south was garrisoned by the National Army. Land reform was taking place in the north, and Fu Zuoyi's cavalry brigade went straight to Liuzhen along the Jingshan Railway. The staggered struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is about to break out, and the three steps and two bridges are in a tug-of-war zone, and the two sides are encroaching on each other, and the two sides will inevitably check and be careful and vigilant. No name brain lacks a string, no heart and no lungs all day long just want to chase a shadow, that day no name chasing the shadow class, hit the north side of the drama addiction is towards the home, to the east of the mountain pass of Mayu in the West Mountain, suddenly the eyes are black and the head is covered by a group of people, like catching chickens into the tree under the slope. It turned out that the troops of the Eighth Road of Beishan were gathering in this mountainous area, and they were preparing to attack Liuzhen and pull out the stronghold of the national army. The first attack on the town suffered a setback, due to the failure of the local gang's whistleblowing, and this time the news was strictly sealed to prevent leaks. At first, when the interrogation was nameless, he saw that he was carrying a backpack, thinking that he was not a spy, at least he was reselling tobacco and soil. The trial was ridiculous, and I didn't ask for a convincing confession. Balu did not dare to release people recklessly, and he must be claimed by his relatives as guarantors.

The nameless child did not return home for many days, and the eight-way team let the ransom people, and Ai Shutian did not dare to come forward. It turned out that the landlord apportioned grain to support his family in those days, and Ai Shutian saw with his own eyes that the head of the Eighth Road District in the area of the area was hiding in Tibet all day long with the big seal, thinking that he could not achieve the climate, and he had not given food well, and he still has palpitations. Liu Xiang showed her manliness when she encountered something for a long time, and she was ready to go alone in order to save her husband. Boss Ai thought that it was not a way, so he took out the donkey and sent Enchang to accompany him all the way, so that he could take care of it. Tian Feng'e, the daughter-in-law of the old family, didn't know what was going on and pulled her husband's sleeve, Ai Shutian thought that he was distressed about the donkey, and he thought about it. Ai Shutian stopped the donkey and replaced it with a wheelbarrow, Tian Feng'e was so unhappy, she was distressed by Enchang, when she saw Enchang pushing the wheelbarrow to show that heroic strength, the unhappy mood melted again, just like Feixue met plum blossoms.

The wheelbarrow launched three steps and two bridges to the west, Liu Xiangjiu sat diagonally at one end with a burden in his hand, and the other end sat on the pocket of grain, this time Ai Shutian was not stingy in order to redeem his brother. This outfit is really ostentatious, what catches the eye is not this ordinary outfit, the customs and customs of Jidong Township at that time, and the little couple who returned to their parents' house usually looked like this. What is remarkable and imaginable is that when Enchang and Xiangjiu were like a couple made in heaven, twisting and twisting on the road, how many pairs of smiling eyes made Liu Xiangjiu unable to raise his head. On the rutted dirt road in spring, the wheelbarrow carrying Xiangjiu and grain crushed the vegetables and plantain on the side of the road, ran over the sand ridge and ran over the Xiaoskirt River, walked on the winding mountain road and looked at the spring scenery of apricot blossoms like clouds on the high mountain, the two did not talk, and Xiangjiu twisted his waist and head on the wheelbarrow and did not return to hand the handkerchief to Enchang, Enchang always couldn't help but stare at Xiangjiu's white neck, as black as the ink on his neck. Looking at the mountain pass inlaid with paper moon, the place where the pine waves roar under the mountain pass, hides the old temple of the foot-grabbing locust covered by black pine. Across the mountain pass, another reckless western valley on the other side of the mountain is the territory of the Jieshi Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
