(1) Small village turmoil

The first time I saw Yin Hong was on a warm and cold afternoon many years ago. Her charming and lively expression, charming and stunning appearance, and tender and tender figure instantly shattered the ignorance of a rural boy, and carved the mark of youth that could never be erased on the rings of my life.

This sad and lamentable story starts from when I just turned sixteen.

The pale sun was like a round egg yolk, hanging on the lonely canal beach without any heat. I took my two sisters to the top of the canal at the entrance of the village early in the morning and looked forward to it. Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and I haven't seen my father coming home yet.

The sharp north wind penetrated the clothes on his body, feeling uncomfortable like a dull knife. The two sisters couldn't stand the cold, so they stammered and wanted to go home, which made me kick one of them on the butt in anger. The little sister was wronged and opened her throat to cry. The eldest sister glanced at my dark face and quickly covered her mouth.

This winter is particularly cold, with cold currents coming one after another. The ice on the canal under the Dawei is getting thicker and thicker, which really corresponds to the saying in the old man: "Three Ninth" and "Four Ninth" are all in the wa (month), and even ducks are frozen to death in the river.

Under the Dayan where we were standing, neighbor Ergoudan was leading the children of the village to hide cats in a row of air-raid shelters. These air-raid shelters dug in the mound of the Dayan were the ones that the production team responded to the call of the superiors to "dig deep holes" in the past few years. In order to prevent the US imperial examination, the Soviet revisionist launched a sudden attack. According to the creation of the people of Ranzhuang in the movie "Tunnel Warfare", the accounting four-eye gourd was designed by the labor force in the village. It took more than a month for the construction to be completed.

These layers of upper and lower, interconnected, and complexly designed air-raid shelters have become a good place for children in the village to play games. For such a fun place, the children in the neighboring villages are very coveted. In order to defend their territory, Ergoudan and I have led our friends to fight with them for several rounds. Especially the group in Xiaoweizhuang, led by my elementary school deskmate Sanhong, who relied on the large number of people and wanted to attack several times, but in the end, I smashed my forehead with a slingshot, and then ran away with a howling.

"Hey--your dad hasn't come back yet?" Ergoudan came out of a hole, raised his face toward me, looking at the top of the big dam, and asked with some sympathy.

"It's all your business." I blew my nose and said to him angrily after being frozen on the big weir for a morning.

"Your father must be in the city and I don't want to come back. The women there are so excited that they will even care about your mother's face." Ergoudan's mind was not good, but his crotch developed early, and he looked like a little rooster who had just started to bark all day long, full of slutty mouth and body full of aura.

"Egoodan, your mother is so shameless. She took off her big butt and asked the accountant to try hard to get her." I angrily exposed Ergoodan's shortness.

Ergoudan's mother, Widow Zhang, is an extremely coquettish woman in the village. I accidentally ran into Ergoudan with her and the brigade accountant. We were still young at that time and didn't know much about these most primitive and seductive games of human beings. We just instinctively felt extremely novel and exciting.

"Mule, your mother is so slutty. Every time your father comes home, your mother cries like a wild cat all night, and even kicks my gables loudly." Ergoudan was exposed by me, a little annoyed and angry, and began to talk back to me.

"Egoodan, you guy, who do you call me mule? Your father made your mother kill him. Your father is a useless mule!" When it comes to swearing, I was definitely not Ergoodan's opponent. I could only blush my face and rush forward with my fists.

"Daping, Daping, you'll be annoyed no matter how you say it's annoyed. OK, okay, I won't play with you anymore." Ergoudan saw that I was really angry at him, and quickly shrank his neck and admitted to the timid.

Perhaps for genetic reasons, I am a big taller than the children of the same age in the village, so when I move my fists, Ergoudan is definitely not my opponent.

I don't know if the guy gave me the nickname "mule", but the reason is that in our rural livestock group, mule is the highest one. After my mother knew that I was called "mule", she once scolded me for three days in front of and behind the village. She said that the mule was a product that had been raising me, and calling me "mule", which was obviously cursing our family's worst.

"I heard from my cousin of Xiao Weizhuang that Sanhong's brother is preparing for the past few days. I want to go to Wuwa to take revenge in the next year, mainly to you. Who told you to break the head with a slingshot last time?" Ergoudan climbed up to the big dam and reported to me in a plea.

The situation Ergoudan reported is very important, and it must be my attention. I am the head of this group of children in the village: "We have to study this carefully. We must not let Sanhong make a profit. You can ask your cousin to watch it in Xiaoweizhuang first. Then we will reward him and allow him to come to our village to hide and seek."

After Ergoudan finished reporting, he fell down the big weir and quickly got into the hole. On the big weir without any restraint, I had already been blown to the cold, and I couldn't hold on at this time.

"Erping, we'll go back for lunch and take turns to wait for dad. It's you this afternoon, and I'll bring Sanping tomorrow." My mind changed and I came up with an idea.

"Brother, I'll listen to you." The eldest sister's face turned red with cold, and she still obediently responded.

The eldest sister was the most obedient and sensible among our three children. At that time, because of the poor family conditions and the countryside prefer boys over girls, she only went to the third grade of elementary school, so her parents asked her to drop out of school and go home. Because her father worked in a textile factory in the city and the family lacked labor, the eldest sister started to help her mother with various housework and farm work as soon as she was schooled. Because I was the only boy in the family, the eldest son and grandson were highly valued by their ancestors, and the younger sister was the youngest, and she was loved by her parents. The eldest sister was between us, so her status was very embarrassing. Once the three of us were naughty and had a problem, she was often scolded by her parents. Therefore, she learned to lower her eyebrows and behave respectfully to her and be respectful to her brother and sister.

I took my sisters down the Dayan and walked towards the village with the heat. When I was about to arrive at my home, I suddenly found a dazzling slogan on the dazzling pink and white courtyard wall: "Down with Wang, Zhang, Jiang, Yao '*!" The words "Wang, Zhang, Jiang, Yao" that were deliberately written in a crooked manner were also made with red paint, which was particularly eye-catching in the sun.

"Mom-Mom-Let's come and see, someone has a red cross on the wall of our yard!" The little sister opened her throat and shouted hard at the yard.

"Sanping, what are you calling? Who's the red cross?" The mother heard the little sister's shouting and ran out in an unknown way.

Against the backdrop of the gray and yellow cracked earth walls around, our snow-white courtyard wall looks a bit extraordinary. This year, my father brought back two buckets of white gray from the factory when winter began, and I helped him paint it for a day. Now someone has slogans written on the white wall and has a fork on it, which looks abrupt and ugly.

"Oh - Which grandson of the turtle wrote randomly on the wall of my house!" When the mother came out and looked at the wall, she immediately jumped and cursed.

"Who else? I think it was written by Siyan just now with a pencil." Ergoudan's mother, Widow Zhang, leaned against the door, and said with a lip while knocking on the melon seeds.

Siyan is the accountant of our production team, an old junior high school student who returned to his hometown, and one of the few people here wearing glasses.

"Why can't I spend time with my family? Before the Chinese New Year, I made four red crosses for my family!" My mother couldn't read and could not recognize the content of the slogan, but someone blew four red crosses on her wall for no reason. She couldn't help but roaring in anger.

"Let's go - look for this Siyan who is not bad!" My mother was so angry that she led us straight to the production team, ready to settle the score with Siyan.

My mother's stinginess is famous in our Xiawuwa Village. One reason is that my grandfather has been a brigade cadre since the land reform. In the hearts of the people, she is as strong as the people. She should be considered a "cadre child" with a backstage. Another important reason is that in our entire village, my father is the only person who works in the county to eat public food. In the 1970s, a strong laborer in rural areas only had 5 cents and 8 cents a day, and my father had a fixed salary of more than 30 yuan per month, which is equivalent to their income for half a year, so it is enough to make the neighbors envious and jealous. It is precisely because of these two points that my mother felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

The team headquarters is at the easternmost end of the village, next to the collective cattle shed. When she passed by there angrily, she happened to meet Siyan walking out with her pants. As soon as he finished shit in the pit behind the cattle shed, his mother and us blocked the mule trough.

"Okay, Siyan, why are you writing randomly on my wall and making crosses!" My mother burst out with anger and pointed at Siyan's nose and questioned.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, what are you doing? That slogan is a political task assigned by superiors. Is it happy for us all over the country to defeat us?" Siyan licked her face and smiled at her mother in a pleasing smile.

"Happy, your mother is so happy, what are you thinking about?" Mother let go of her throat regardless.

My mother's scolding alarmed the neighbors, and everyone walked out to watch. The cadres in the team next to me also heard it. They stretched out their heads and saw that it was my mother who was making trouble. They quickly retracted their necks like turtles.

"Second sister-in-law, why are you... unreasonable? This is a request from your superiors. You have to write it with a eye-catching one. The village has a white courtyard wall. If you don't write it, you won't see it even if you write it with someone else." Four eyes looked aggrieved, their eyes and noses were about to be wrinkled together, as if they wanted to argue.

"Bah—" Mother spitted a mouthful of saliva at the four eyes and sprayed it on his feet, "Are you cursing that my family is better than you? You want people to see clearly now. Why don't you want people to see clearly when you secretly sleep with other widows?"

My mother's cheerful scolding attracted laughter from the onlookers. Amid the laughter of people, her eyes were open and her face was red, and she immediately lost: "Okay, okay, second sister-in-law, why are you talking nonsense? My good man doesn't fight with a woman, I'm afraid of you. I'll go in and paint the slogan for you today. If my superiors blame me, I will ask them to find you."

"I'll tell you Siyan, don't think that Daping's father is in the city, and we're only a few of us at home. If we think we're easy to bully, you're really blind!" My mother spat at Siyan again, pointed at Siyan's nose smugly, and continued to teach her a lesson, "If you don't come to apply these things for me this afternoon, if you dare to spoil us, I'll go to your house to scold you all night."

"Oh - Second Sister-in-law, I really admire you. I will apply it in the afternoon, and I will definitely apply it in the afternoon." Siyan hugged her head and bowed to her mother several times, "Second Sister-in-law, I think you are not at home all year round, and no one can relieve you of fire. This time I get so angry. When the second brother comes back, let him sleep well for you for a few nights, so that you can't make you feel sexy every day."

"Okay, Siyan, you dare to slut at me, let's see if I'll tear your stinky mouth." My mother was so angry that she was angry, her face turned purple and red, and she was about to tear Siyan's mouth when she rushed forward. Siyan was so scared that she turned around and ran away, and hid in the team.

My mother didn't chase her anymore. She knew how to make a decision and couldn't do anything. Besides, this four-eyed man and woman are both ordinary things. In the countryside where culture and entertainment were lacking, the relationship between men and women was always the most talked about by people.
