The blind mother-in-law said: Over the years, I have not left the Velvet Flower Tree Cemetery one step at a time, and I am worthy of the old man. Blind mother-in-law Tan Youyin said again: You are also a scholar in our hometown, the Li family has no book fragrance to pass on, this time I handed it over to you, this letter may come in handy one day, and it will not be in vain for me to work hard. Lin Mu knew that his father had a reputation in the entire Yansai and Jidong provinces, and he was not an idle person. In his early years, his father was also a child of a poor family, and because his grandfather had no livelihood, he went to Yushui Church as a church servant to sweep the court. It was also a chance to go all the way, the smart and clever young Li Yucun, because of his father's sponsorship of the church, went all the way from junior primary school to a doctor of agriculture in the United States. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yucun gave full play to his expertise, focusing on his hometown of Luanshui Jieshi, and established the modern Linguo Farm, Huihua Middle School and the large-scale Huihua Church Hospital. Li Yucun also tried to go to Fengtian outside the Guanxi to do business, and it is said that he finally returned to his hometown to introspect because he met the southern artist. As the head of the new regime in Yushui, Lin Mu did not prevent the liquidation of the Li family in the storms of later times for the identity of his biological father, Mr. Li Da, as a squire and celebrity. Thinking about many things today, there are many mistakes, and it is inconvenient to break down Tan Youyin in detail, he just sincerely visited his blind mother-in-law Tan Youyin, but he was sick.

The forest is hesitating on the velvet flower tree, and Lu Yanyun, who is blowing the wind and watching the scenery and folding leaves and smelling the fragrance by the Weaver Girl Bridge, is now with her husband Pei Guoben, spending nostalgia on three steps and two bridges. In terms of elegance, where is Lao Pei's opponent of Lu Yanyun? After a while, the two parted ways. The old white-haired Shi Yu knew the look of his eyes, remained silent, and led Lao Pei to familiarize himself with the road and go to the nearby high-ranking households to rest and drink. After only a few years of hard work, after a lot of grinding and washing in the countryside, the strength was instantly divided, and the talents from all walks of life who possessed resources could be seen from the arrogance of the house just from the dry side of the house. Lu Yanyun, who was looking around, happened to meet Shi Qing who was standing on the bridge of a good thing, and the old lady was leading with a flamboyant attitude, playing in the water on the double bridge, and asking the willows while admiring the lotus. is telling the story of the willow leaf peach wind and snow moon in the west of the bridge, and he still can't forget the token of the two loves, Shi Qing also specially pointed it to Lu Yanyun, and looked at the pot of willow leaf peach blossoms shown on the back wall of Xiangjiu's house. Let's say that Pei Guoben, who was full of wine and food, walked out of the big family in a daze, and not far away at the Weaver Girl Bridge, he bumped into the forest that came out of the velvet forest, and the two almost bumped into each other. After a long time of careful identification, Lao Pei suddenly shouted, and called Lin Mu the chief, but he couldn't help but stand upright and give a standard military salute to Lin Mu. Lin Mu also recognized Xiao Pei in a trance, the shrewd and capable guard Xiao Pei beside District Chief Li in the land reform that year. Because of the resume of the pawnshop guy who stayed in the town, Xiao Pei, who was clever and literate and hyphenated, was a very short talent at the time, and it is said that Xiao Pei later grew rapidly in his career, and he also married his wife who was knowledgeable and shy on the team. After the Huaihai Campaign, our army was like a bamboo, advancing by leaps and bounds, and Lin Mu was urgently sent to the front line of the army in the south.

After years of struggle, after liberation, Xiao Pei became Lao Pei and became the head of the local government. Compared with Xiao Pei back then, today's Lao Pei doesn't know how much self-confidence, this unexpected reunion forced out Lao Pei's previous memories and humility, and he regretted today's Pingshui meeting. On weekdays, Lao Pei has a habit of shaking hands, he looks at his superiors or celebrities, he always clenches them tightly with his hands, and it hurts to hold people's hands. In front of everyone, Lao Pei exaggeratedly waved his hand with Lin Mu, but he only used a single right hand, he wanted to support his face. Between the palms, it seems to feel the coldness of the former chief, and Lin Mu is silent, but he has a pair of eyes that can penetrate the vicissitudes of life. The moment of deep gaze can make the villain who looks like a city distracted. The moment the two looked at each other, Pei Guoben was a little overwhelmed, and the gray and black butterfly brought up the unpleasant memories of the old days, and made today's old Pei, who was full of fat and shiny, out of an obscene original shape.

Lu Yanyun had just graduated from Luanzhou Normal School that year, and when he returned to the Lu family gatehouse in the stone archway, he caught up with the surging land reform boom. Known as the stone archway village of seventy-two alleys and eighty-three wells, at this juncture, this eldest lady of the Lu family feels that she is facing a crossroads in her life. The Lu family, agriculture and business, has been passed down for three generations. In the years when Lu Yanyun's father, Lu Guyuan, was in charge of financial management, Shipaifang Village was second only to Liuzhen, and became the first prosperous village in Guannai, where merchants gathered and became famous in Chongqing. Since there have been a few wealthy merchants in the village, the people of Shipaifang Village have been tempered by each other, vassals to follow suit, taking advantage of the Republic of China period to break through the immigration of the black soil customs, the children of the peasant family have gone out of the customs to Jinzhou Fengtian. Starting from the apprenticeship of the traveling merchant counter, stationed in the sauce garden, or grocery fruits, cloth village pawnshop, silver number warehouse. There are those who have learned to become the shopkeeper of the proprietor, and there are also those who are not conducive to squatting and returning to their hometowns to farm at four times. There are not a few who have made a fortune, showing off their wealth, buying houses and land, and it has become a trend. By the end of 1947, the stone archway before and after the village, has formed seventy-two alleys, eighty-three wells momentum scale, known as the first village in the Guannei.

Lu Yanyun was born to Lu Guyuan's eldest wife, and was deeply loved by his parents because of his talent. His father, Lu Guyuan, with a nine-character weight, made a fortune by founding a flour mill in his early years and using machines to grind rice and flour. After earning the first pot of gold, he bought land and set up warehouses in his hometown Liuzhen, poured timber and seafood, and became a typical business landlord in Yushui.

In fact, the details of the land reform struggle in those years were not as similar as later generations imagined, but only one kind of scenery. The Lu family of the stone archway, which has the style of Confucianism and Taoism, is regarded as a model for making a fortune in seventy-two alleys and eighty-three wells, and is in the town. The Lu family did not fly like the richest man in the town, Nan Batian, and bullied others, but had a good reputation, gave medicine in case of disaster, gave porridge in famine years, and served as the principal in his hometown stone archway, and funded the establishment of a new-style junior primary school. The tenants and poor peasants of that year, when the storm of land reform came, the poor peasant group was quite polite to Lu Guyuan's family, and they fought against their families on the surface, and they also called him Daddy Lu, or Principal Lu, according to the village generation.

Not to mention that Lu Yanyun had cultivated progressive ideas when he was studying at Luanshi, even in retrospect, Lu Yanyun was deeply glad for the choice he made back then. Sometimes the key chess pieces in life are enough to affect the final game of a person. Even if the inner secret has been hidden for many years, how many years later, it is still shocking to wake up and play repeatedly.

The skirt river is a branch of the Liwan River. The skirt river is the seasonal river, in the rainy season, the mountains and rivers on the southern slope of the old city mountain, in the folds of the stone wall and the mountain, flow into bright floods and waterfalls, and then fall into a stream, like the skirt fluttering, to the north of the stone archway village before the waist twists the limbs, and soon accepted the seduce of the Liwan River, and the downstream Liwan River formed an in-law. The west bank of the skirt river looks up, from the old city mountain to the south out of a ten-mile piece of cliff, commonly known as the fan ridge. Fanziling is as thin as a fan, and like a dragon flying southward, at that time, the county seat of Jieyang in the southwest of fifteen miles behind the mountain was still in the hands of the national army. Zhao Ziping's crusade team, which was incorporated by the national army, turned into a homecoming regiment, and it was still rampant. Fanziling is separated by mountains and rivers, yin and yang, and the landlords and gentry who lost their souls due to land reform in Yushui Liuzhen heard rumors that the poor peasant group of land reform not only wants to divide the land, but also kills the landlord and robs his wife. Those landlords who only have a yellow-faced woman are better, the golden house is hidden, and the rich man with a small wife can listen to the cool breeze on his spine, and often some people take risks, carry their families, and climb the fan mountain with the stars and moon, and go to Jieyang County to join the national army.

Lu Guyuan, who was frightened by the storm of land reform, also tried to climb over Fan Mountain to avoid the limelight. When someone shouted loudly and put the shuttle dart in front of his family, Lu Guyuan sighed: his life is desperate, and he will hit his head against the mountain rocks, but fortunately, the little wife Shan Lan stopped her waist and hugged her, and comforted: You can't leave me, it's important to save your life! At a critical time, Lu Chongjiu always obeyed the words of Shan Lan, and said that Wangfu, the daughter of this down-and-out teaching gentleman, married into the Lu family not only made people prosperous, but also gave birth to a male for the Lu family to inherit the lineage, but also made the Lu family have a good relationship, and the poor people who encountered emergencies, as well as the bankrupt business owners who sought to come to the door, all helped the poor, so that the Lu family not only prospered, but also had a good reputation for the two villages in the stone archway. The floating wealth was divided, and the little wives of landlords such as Shan Lan, who were originally the fruits of victory, should remarry and marry the bitter and bitter widowers in the village. In those days, I don't know how many good things have been accomplished in the stone archway, and the thirsty men who have counted the rafters and purlins would rather not divide the furniture and food, but also be very willing to bring back a woman even if the lamp is dim. Shan Lan is only over thirty years old this year, not only sultry and sultry, but also the age when the charm of women still exists. Shan Lan successfully avoided this catastrophe, thanks to her ordinary virtue and good deeds, to the point of the bone, I don't know who will catch you. There are many things in this world, some such as the pine wind and the moon, the grass and insects, how many details in the world, there is no sound of dust, it seems that fate is determined by heaven, in fact, good is rewarded with evil and evil is rewarded. At the critical moment that day, it was with Shan Lan's lifelong compassion that someone opened his eyes and closed his eyes seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, so that Lu Guyuan's family could be persuaded to return safely. Those fugitive landlords who secretly crossed Fanzi Mountain were repatriated to their hometowns after the People's Liberation Army conquered Jieshi County not long after, and they were all charged with fighting against the land reform and fleeing to the enemy.

The frightened Lu Yanyun did not choose to flee, and did not defect to the enemy's camp like some rich children in the village. At first, the team also ate pie rice, ate bran vegetables with the poor peasants in the village, and shared the floating wealth, and Pei Guoben, the team leader who was born as an apprentice in the shop, began to drink like his life and greedy for pleasure. In addition to writing slogans, writing work summaries, and reporting materials, Lu Yanyun, who was close to the organization, also added a blessing to his mouth because of the opportunity to talk about work and write materials, and from time to time he drank with Pei Guoben, who opened a small stove.
