One Xue Jing forced Liangshan and lost his way out, and the other ate Beishan millet for a few days, which inspired the national hatred and family feud, class consciousness, Xue Jing with his enthusiasm, and later moved with the army to fight in the north and south to suppress bandits and anti-hegemony and repeatedly made war exploits, and after liberation, he stayed in Yunguirong as a local dignitary. Since then, it has been separated from the end of the world by the end of the world. Niu Manzhi, who supported the family alone, began to receive letters from her husband, and wanted her husband to return to his hometown, Niu Manzhi was illiterate and could not write letters often, and gradually the relationship between the two existed in name only, until Xue Jing proposed to dissolve the marriage contract in the future, Niu Manzhi knew that her husband would stop his wife and remarry. Niu Manzhi hates him so much that he hates itchy, and would rather die than go through the divorce procedures, she still has illusions about Xue Jing, but fortunately, Shuiyanzhuang still regards Niu Manzhi and his wife as glorious military dependents, and Niu Manzhi is reluctant to give up the status and honor of his hometown, so he hides the fact that her husband Xue Jing has already become Chen Shimei and has already stopped marrying again. Occasionally, Xue Jing also sent money here, and every time at this time, Niu Manzhi would hold the withdrawal slip sent by the postman and show off all over the village. Niu Manzhi, who wanted to open in the future, although he also made a lot of flowers and willows, but the old and young villagers of Shuiyanzhuang all preferred Niu Manzhi to speak, and they all said that Niu Manzhi was not easy, and the widowed woman guarded her son Xue Xiaoman, and finally supported the door of Xue Jing's house.

Niu Manzhi in her later years was full of regret for not looking for her husband in person, and Niu Manzhi, who had never walked out of the town, began to review her responsibilities, but she did not regret the cold war with Xue Jing for many years, especially Xue Jing was ungrateful and became Chen Shimei. In the future, Xue Jing, who held an important position in the department in an important town in the southwest, although he was homesick, he never returned to his hometown, although he was also homesick and in love with his land, he never had the heart to take his wife and children to his side. This may be due to the fact that Niu Manzhi brings calves by himself, and Xue Xiaoman is not his biological flesh and blood. When Xue Jing had long been forgotten by Shuiyanzhuang and the three steps and two bridges, Niu Manzhi, many years later, let his son Xue Xiaoman accompany him, and traveled thousands of miles to retrieve Xue Jing's ashes that died in a foreign country back to his hometown for burial. When Xue Xiaoman buried Xue Jing's ashes in the ancestral grave of the Xue family, the hometown fathers and elders were impressed by Niu Manzhi's mother and son.

In those years, we looked at the class component and the resoluteness of the struggle. The three steps and two bridges that have undergone two land reforms, and the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in eastern Hebei is still staggered, the outcome is not very clear, and Fu Zuoyi's horse team often wanders and harasses along the Jingshan Railway to the area around Liuzhen, and the people in the southern plain of Yushui are unstable, and many are waiting and watching. In the Liuzhen Plain in the see-saw area, in order to gain a firm foothold, win over the people, and eliminate the psychology of the masses left and right, because of the eagerness to solve the vital interests of the poor peasants, and the land reform policy of the higher authorities is not very clear, there is a bloody struggle for land reform in the villages around Liuzhen.

The Liwan River has not yet frozen, and the silent snow has covered the plains of Liuzhen with silver-white cotton clothes, and the river seems to have sewn the heavens and the earth, and as if for fear of breaking the tranquility, it writes a thick black idle pen on the white. Flocks of panicked sparrows in the snow, not knowing what was disturbing, flew from the right bank of the Liwan River to the sand on the left bank, and poured into a handful of swaying rain in the sky. From the mountains in the distance, the goshawk swayed like leaves to the forest upstream of the three-step two-bridge cottage, whirling in the air, as if there was a smell of blood.

When the snow stopped, a wood-wheeled iron tile cart ran over fifteen gates and one street, as if it were reluctant to get involved with the three steps and two bridges behind it, and turned south to the cemetery leading to the west of Liuzhenguan Road. The car was loaded with the coffin of the blacksmith Zhou, the landlord of Shuiyanzhuang, the coffin with heavy lacquer, and a pair of wives and concubines with a sad face, showing the solidity and wealth of the blacksmith Zhou's family. It was rumored that Blacksmith Zhou was scared to death because he saw Nan Batian, a large landowner buried alive in the town, in a place where he shouldn't have been, and that day he went to send Nan Batian the latest forged farm tools as usual. After Blacksmith Zhou saw the struggle meeting with his own eyes, a group of emotional crowds dragged the dead-faced Nanbatian to the beach of the Liwan River, and it was with Blacksmith Zhou's newly forged pickaxe that first smashed his skull, and then kicked into the pre-dug sand pit along with the blood gushing out of his head.

Blacksmith Zhou, who had witnessed the details of the execution site, was bedridden after returning home, and then news of the smell of blood in the surrounding villages kept coming, saying that the poor peasant group had tied up the heinous landlord rich peasants to the river beach in the north of the village, put a hard pebble under the landlord's skull, and then picked up another heavier pebble and threw it down. Zhou Blacksmith's little wife Feng Dajia stole the gold and silver and sent away Zhou Blacksmith, Feng Dajia hid from Caoliangtun to Shuiyanzhuang's mother's house, Shuiyanzhuang knew that Feng Dajia wanted to thin the land in the hands of Zhou Blacksmith, and filled the house for Zhou Blacksmith as a girl, and they all knew that Feng Dajia did not bully his wife after entering the door, and the soft wife made Feng Dajia bully like a leaf after autumn, and he knelt at Feng Dajia's feet on weekdays because of a little thing. Feng Dajia didn't have a good humanity and didn't have a good nature, and in the end, as the fruit of victory, he was given to the old bachelor of Caoliangtun, but it was the benevolent and generous wife of Zhou Blacksmith who was saved by the masses and did not suffer a little guilt.

Caoliangtun had just finished the aftermath of the blacksmith Zhou, and the land reform struggle in Shuiyanzhuang was surging. Ai Shutian and his wife, Tian Feng'e, who only hired a long-term worker, were locked in a small black house by the working group to explain the problem, and even Xu Enchang, a long-term worker, was also subjected to quarantine and scrutiny as a typical poor farmer who had been corrupted and co-opted by the landlord. The most active manifestation of the land reform movement in Shuiyanzhuang was Niu Manzhi, and a group of women mobilized by Niu Manzhi were the most resolute in proposing to parade the fox spirit Liu Xiangjiu through the streets. Niu Manzhi thinks that the culprit of setting up a situation to hide the land is none other than the fox spirit Liu Xiangjiu, who not only sabotaged the land reform movement, but also broke her shoes with water-based poplars, not to rectify this unscrupulous fox. The parade is not limited to one street with fifteen gates, in order to create momentum, they have expanded the route of the parade to the Sanzhuang cottages around the three steps and two bridges. The crowd of Sanzhuang, who were surrounded by water around the three steps and two bridges, was most interested in Liu Xiangjiu, who was dressed up in a fancy way, and she was forced to hold an embroidered shoe in her hand and a card hanging from her neck. On the card, with an ink pen written on the fox spirit big broken shoes Liu Xiangjiu a few big characters, it is said that these patterns are Niu Manzhi's ingenious masterpieces. As soon as Xu Enchang's concealment of the land for the owner was revealed, although there were many discussions, the most provocative thing was Liu Yantaowen, who had been fragrant for a long time. Niu Manzhi's glorious military family and the resolute performance of the struggle made the fifteen gates and streets look at her with admiration from then on, although some people knew that she had a crush on Xu Enchang and thought crookedly, but the comrades of the working group clearly supported her, cultivated her, and regarded her as an object of dependence. At that time, Xue Jing had grown into a battalion-level commander in our army's southbound troops, and from then on, his superiors and Shui Yanzhuang looked down on Niu Manzhi's mother and son. Since then, whenever there has been a movement in the village, Niu Manzhi and his son Xue Xiaoman have taken the lead, and they have become the red lanterns that have been deliberately hung high for a long time in Shuiyanzhuang.

What catches people's attention is not only the broken shoe hanging on Xiangjiu's chest, but also the fact that Xiangjiu is beside him, on the ox cart on the street of the village, the man sitting is not Enchang, but the nameless Ai Rentian, which makes people with good deeds disappointed. Originally, at the struggle meeting, it was Xu Enchang who should be standing next to Xiangjiu, Ke Jiner tore everyone apart without a name, squeezed to the stage to be a stand-in for Liu Xiangjiu, and shouted that this was the fault of the old Ai family. Niu Manzhi was about to have a seizure, and proposed to take Xu Enchang to accompany him to the street, but was dissuaded by Captain Han of the work team. Some people also praised the nameless, saying that he seemed to be a fool of the second tiger, and his heart fell to his daughter-in-law, and he was stupid inward but not stupid outward. He is not afraid of watering and fertilizing others, but he just wants his handsome daughter-in-law to stay under the eaves with peace of mind. After three trials, the truth of the matter was finally clarified, and Boss Ai gave 20 acres of good land to his brother on suspicion of concealing land and fraudulently, luring long-term workers to trick and beautify people, which is really a typical case of sabotaging land reform. Taking this as an opportunity, the working group expanded to three steps and two bridges, and held a mobilization meeting for land reform in due course, allowing Xu Enchang to come forward and accuse Boss Ai of his conspiracy to resist land reform. The congress announced in the sound of slogans that Ai Rentian had been put on the hat of an unscrupulous landlord. After the meeting, Comrade Han, the leader of the work team, only talked to him, admonishing him to distinguish between friend and foe, and inspiring him to stand firm on his class stand, without mentioning the ambiguous personal relationship between Enchang and Xiangjiu. Comrade Han also deliberately handed over Enchang to Niu Manzhi, chairman of the Association for the Poor, and asked her to enthusiastically help Xu Enchang improve his consciousness and be worthy of the legacy of his martyr brother. Niu Manzhi listened to Comrade Han's entrustment, admired the policy level of the superior comrades very much, and thought to himself that after all, Enchang was a martyr's relative and a person to rely on, and he could not be pushed into the arms of the enemy under any circumstances. Niu Manzhi was just strange, and the working group did not seriously deal with Liu Xiangjiu, which made her very unhappy, and she didn't dare to ask questions, so she tried her best to think that Comrade Han entrusted her with the task of helping Enchang, she was excited when she thought about it, and sometimes when she thought about it at night, she was very unhappy between her crotches, and she was wet and sticky.

That day, Xiangjiu was on the street, and some people joked about the nameless: You took off the broken shoes that your daughter-in-law raised, you are a kind! Nameless really picked it up and skimmed at the man. Niu Manzhi, who came over, finally had a seizure, and when he saw everyone coaxing, he squeezed her left and right and pushed her, and did not teach her to go forward, Niu Manzhi knew that the crowd was angry, so he had to hate and walk away.

The nameless behavior made Xiang Jiu's heart full of shame for the first time, although Xiang Jiu was a little moved, but he couldn't replace Xiang Jiu's inner concern for his lover. At this moment, she resents Enchang, resents that when she is embarrassed, why can't she accompany me, my enemy! Even if you don't welcome me, just look at you and say a word of pain, I won't give in to death! Women are infatuated, treat a man sincerely, will be confused, and would rather sacrifice their lives to catch up, true love, not lack of full infatuation! Later, the knots in Xiangjiu's heart were unraveled, the sins of the old Ai family, she would rather bear it by herself, and Enchang ate her own waterlogging, so she got into this right and wrong.
