Enchang has never explained Liu Xiangjiu, he takes all the responsibility on himself, he would rather make any sacrifice than hurt his intimate woman. Fortunately, everything happened within the Xiao Wall, and although outsiders had many associations, they couldn't come up with real evidence.

In all fairness, at that time, Xiang Jiu was long, and he couldn't talk about how much he knew about land reform, let alone how high his class consciousness was. Xiangjiu knew that without the help of the eldest uncle's family, without Enchang's secret help, the twenty acres of land in the hands of the nameless man, and the unnamed person throwing the goods, he couldn't beat a few handfuls of grain to say ruthlessly. Enchang also knows gratitude, Enchang can't hold a little good in his belly, and he doesn't know when he started, Enchang didn't expect to be nameless, he got up early and sweated out of his black crotch, and also picked up the twenty acres of land in Xiangjiu's house. The women who stood on the street along the water, whenever they saw Enchang and Xiangjiu coming back from the ground one after the other, walked to the front, the women all bowed their heads, and only cared about the soles of the silk-lalana shoes in their hands, and when the figures were gone, the chatterbox opened, and there were all kinds of interesting muttering. Don't look at how serious you are, everyone compares herself with Enchang in their hearts, and they can't wait to roll the kang with Enchang, and they are envious and angry with Xiangjiu. Some people recite Sanyin'er, saying that a good man has no good wife, and Lai Han marries a flower branch! It is said that there is no name and so blessed, there is no need to worry about farming, the lamp oil is saved on the kang, the cart is helped, and the house is leaning on the flower pillow!

After the autumn of 1948, when the soybean stalks and cotton straws were also pulled out and returned to the stacks, a double-hung rubber carriage loaded with a cart of collected grain and grass drove into three steps and two bridges. Because of the rusty road, the carriage sank into the riverside beach, and the wheels sank deeper and deeper, and the horses were a little panicked. Turning to grind, Xu Enchang, who was harvesting autumn in the field, was called by the onlookers, Enchang looked left and right, took the whip and shook it loudly, with a few shouts, I saw that the horse's belly belt was tight, the mule squatted in the crotch to pull the wind, the whip flower was thrown, the carriage jumped out, and Lisuo stopped on the dry bank. Everyone cheered for a while, and as soon as they talked, they realized that the two people who hitchhiled were extraordinary, and the guards called the chief, named Lin Mu, took a carriage to transport public grain, and came to inspect the land reform on behalf of the county party committee on three steps and two bridges. Hearing that the person who came was Lin Mu, everyone sighed and sighed, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. It turned out that Lin Mu's original surname was Li, and he was the eldest son of Mr. Li Da in Shuiyanzhuang. The village is not big, but there are half of the wealthy households, and there are many college students in the second generation of rich people. Lin Mu entered Luanzhou Normal School in his early years, and after graduation, he first taught in the Yushui Mountains, caught up with the anti-Japanese beacon fire in eastern Hebei, threw his pen into Rong, and opened up the area with Ma Ji's team to join the revolution. Enchang recognized the woods, because of the rotten baskets that he had hidden from the owner, and when he saw the trees, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself. Lin Mu's eyes were poisonous, seeing that Enchang was familiar, he was busy asking, and sure enough, Enchang was not fake, and he was busy holding hands and asking goodbye. Lin Mu shook his hand affectionately, and laughed loudly at the same time: It's only been a few years, and the villain who sells kung fu has become a good man, and he almost doesn't dare to recognize him! Lin Mu glanced back at the guards behind him, and shouted to everyone: If it weren't for this little shepherd back then, I'm afraid I would have become a gun dung!

It was the frosty autumn of 1944, and fifteen-year-old Xu Enchang was whipping the sheep for the owner, when suddenly a gunshot rang out from the Liwan River behind him. Lin Mu, who was being chased by the puppet crusade team in the town, escaped into a cemetery and happened to bump into Enchang. Lin Mu was in a panic, and when he saw that he was his own person, he was in a hurry to introduce Lin Mu to an old brick grave. The robbery hole on the north side of the tomb is filled with thorns and withered grass by sheepherds, and it is said that it is a tomb of the Ming Dynasty border guard. Due to the age, and by the patronage of tomb robbers, the mounds were abandoned in the wilderness, and the stone tablet of the offering table has long been lost in time. The little people in the village who herd sheep and collect firewood always love cats to shelter from the wind and rain in the brick coffin, or collect some wild things and steal the fruits of the green. The wolf crying and howling crusade team led the Japanese soldiers to chase them to the hills, looking around, except for the barren mounds and wild graves, their eyes were full of autumn yellow crops pitching in the wind. Enchang had already hidden the trees in the tomb, and when the enemy asked, he pointed the sheep whip in the direction of Xishan, which was the secret camp of the Eighth Road in the east of Hebei. The Xiaosha River, which flows down from the West Mountain, left fresh footprints of fishermen, and the raiding team pushed and shoved, not daring to rush into the dense crop field, so they pursued all the way along the riverbed of the Xiaosha River. Chased to the boundary of Mayu had to Mingjin to withdraw troops, and the enemy who stayed in the town at that time had long since dared not rashly approach the Mayu Plateau controlled by the old area.

In addition to the national righteousness, the heart of rescuing Lin Mu is also because of his brother who grew up in Huatai in Beishan. On the second day of the forest inspection, Captain Han of the land reform in the village came to visit En Chang, and during the conversation, he learned that Captain Han and Enchang's brother who sacrificed the battlefield were originally in a company, and they were in the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Road Jidong Military Region. Speaking of the sacrificial elder brother, Lin Mu naturally had a little more respect for the elder brother.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and the owners Ai Shutian and Liu Xiangjiu, who are standing on the side, sigh in their hearts for Enchang, sigh that Enchang has a long life, and since then Enchang has no direct relatives, and on the other hand, they are a little excited, with Lin Mu and Captain Han, the big tree, Enchang straightened his waist in the village, so that the owner Ai Shutian's waist pole was also a little harder. Calm down but also mixed joy, happy is: Xiang Jiu Enchang is not an outsider, this time there is hope, rambling to say that Enchang has a life-saving grace to the chief Lin Mu, only Enchang's brother and Captain Han of the working group were close comrades-in-arms, and his golden cicada shell plan is ninety percent sure. The worry is: if Enchang is homesick and takes advantage of the land to change back to his hometown Huatai, those thoughts will become bamboo baskets to draw water. Boss Ai moved his brain, and counted on Liu Xiangjiu with complicated feelings, Xiangjiu was the same, Xiangjiu was also reluctant to be long, she was afraid that she would be separated from Enchang, and she would be wronged for the rest of her life with her husband who was like soft persimmon mud. There is another layer of concealment, Xiangjiu didn't say anything about Enchang, and she couldn't tell it in her heart: the child in her belly has been three full-term, and she knows that it is Enchang's species, but she can't say anything to anyone. Xiang Jiu thought: Seeing that the land is divided, no matter what you say, Enchang will not stay in the Ai family for long, and now she doesn't want to say that she is pregnant with Enchang's child, she is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, and she will not be called a father when she is born. In Xiangjiu's eyes, Enchang should have married a family early, not to mention that after the land reform, Enchang has land, and sooner or later he will have to settle down and set up a household, how can he get a pig to fight with his ears and temples for the rest of his life? Thinking of this, Xiangjiu was a little sorry, she was also good for her kindness, and she was afraid that she would be a good friend for a lifetime. In short, Xiangjiu's mood at the moment is very tangled and troubled. No matter what Xiang Jiu thought in her heart, she was not idle in her hands, she wanted to give En Chang a pair of shoes and sew a pair of clothes, she had already measured the size, but she didn't say it.

It's just the same, since the day of the fight, the old Ai family has been surprisingly attentive to Enchang, a small wine every three days, a treat every five days, and every time he asks Xiangjiu to accompany him to pour warm tea. Since the last time in front of the nameless, the two people in the upper room have made out the secret of Xiangjiu Enchang, and it is said that the nameless child should jump to make a scene, but no one has heard any noise from the nameless. I don't know what kind of magic Xiangjiu has applied to men, or what kind of plaster my brother and sister-in-law have put on, and he is alive without a name, except for tinkering with the big flower cow, except for listening to the shadow and chasing the shadow, he doesn't care about anything. It's still the eldest brother in the upper room who thinks long-term for his brother, Ai Shutian knows that the land will be divided in the future, and in the future, everyone will plant their own one-acre and three-point land, and the stupid brother is really inseparable from the elder brother who pulls the gang. Sister-in-law Tian Feng'e seems to have changed a person, she changed her previous sour face and jealousy, maybe her husband opened her mind, different from the past, today's Tian Feng'e, looking at Xiangjiu's eyes, there is some flattery and encouragement, in addition to a smile on her face, she always tries her best to give Enchang Xiangjiu and create opportunities for the two to get along alone. Enchang has the skill of building a fire kang, and even the kang tip is hot through the fire kang he builds. Xiangjiu paved the kang, and Jing Enchang didn't build it for two years, Tian Feng'e would use the excuse of accumulating fertilizer on the kang soil, and let Xiangjiubai call Enchang to build a kang for her to change the kang soil. Tian Feng'e will also instruct Xiangjiu to go to the milling house to grind rice and noodles, and at night when the oil lamp is about to run out, the lonely men and widows are frowning in the lonely courtyard, and Tian Feng'e is proud on the dry shore.

After tasting the grace of the forbidden fruit, it is like a fire in the dry spring. Xiangjiu is also dry firewood, although the two of them are burned all over their bodies, but they are like cuckoos chirping the joy of spring. The first love man who fell in love with him does not know fear and reason, his body and mind seem to be boiled in honey, and Xiangjiu, who longs for emotion, is willing to be a moth to the fire regardless of the consequences.

If it weren't for the jealousy of women, the fragrance and grace in the future may not have endured so much wind and rain and torture. If it weren't for the famous military cattle full of branches in the waterside village, a pole was inserted from it, and the three steps and two bridges might have been less than a lot of stories of wind and snow.

Even the well-informed Liwan River flowing in the village would not have thought that Niu Manzhi, who had just been elected as a member of the Poverty Association, would have a crush on Xu Enchang, a partner of the Ai family. If it weren't for Niu Manzhi's hatred because of love, Xiangjiu would not have wet his feet and wet shoes.

In the autumn of the first year, in the earth, she teased Xu Enchang's cow full branches, touched her nose with ash, and hit Enchang's idea of eating. It was not once that Enchang, who stayed in the mill house, accidentally saw steaming mixed noodles, sweet potatoes, or carefully kneaded vegetable buns on the windowsill or mill on the windowsill or mill plate. Enchang only thought it was Xiangjiu's intention, and he didn't think much about it for the first two times, but he still found that he looked back frequently, and left in a hurry, leaving a warm or hot cow full of branches. On that day, Niu Manzhi deliberately left a bag of milled sorghum rice in the milling house, and Xu Enchang recognized it as the pocket of Niu Manzhi's family, and the coarse cloth pockets at that time were printed with the surname of the main family.
