Chapter 2 White Beans - Chapter Two

White Beans - Chapter Two (1) Before this, Sister Wu had never spoken to Baidou.Bai Dou sat among a group of women.Sister Wu came over and asked, who is Baidou?Baidou stood up and said I was Baidou. He looked up and down the white beans.Sister Wu said, oh, you are Baidou.I thought what kind of person it was.Sister Wu didn't say what she said next, but everyone could understand it.Looking at Baidou, one glance at her, if you just look at her face, you will always feel that she is ordinary, such an ordinary person, how can there be two men chasing her together. Sister Wu said, let's go and sit in your room for a while.

Sister Wu said, which one do you like? Bai Dou said that he likes them all. Miss Wu was stunned. Baidou said, really. Sister Wu also said, if you are allowed to marry, who do you want to marry. Baidou said that she didn't want to marry anyone. Sister Wu said, think about it now, think about it, let you choose who you want to marry. Baidou lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, he couldn't think of it. Sister Wu was a little dazed again. Sister Wu said, besides the two of them, do you still have someone you like? Baidou said, no. I have made matchmaking and proposed marriage to so many people, but this is the first time I have met someone like Baidou.

Sister Wu didn't know how to continue the conversation with Baidou. On the other hand, Baidou seemed to see that Sister Wu was in a bit of trouble.I don't want to embarrass Miss Wu.Baidou said, big sister, I will listen to you and the organization.You say, let me marry whoever I marry. Sister Wu looked at this ordinary-looking girl and thought to herself whether she was stupid or not.However, whether she is stupid or not, at least she is a little different from other girls in Xiaye. On behalf of the organization, to find a wife for the veteran, what Sister Wu most wanted to hear was Baidou's last words.

But it is rare to hear this sentence.Generally speaking, veterans who want to organize to come forward to find wives are either a little disabled or a little old, and they can't make women like them just by looking at them.It is precisely because of this that the organization has to use administrative means to do the work of the girls.Good girl, who doesn't have a good dream like spring.It is almost impossible to get the girl to agree.First to coax, then to persuade, and then to raise your face and reason.Until the girl understands that her marriage has great significance related to the revolutionary cause, she has no choice but to choose.Sister Wu sometimes feels that what she does is a bit like an arranged marriage in a feudal society, but thinking about it again, if these veterans who have conquered the country and then come to reclaim Wubian, if they can't even get a wife, then our Communist Party is too ruthless There is no righteousness.Thinking of this, Sister Wu's enthusiasm rose again.

Yes, Sister Wu is a matchmaker, but as a matchmaker, Sister Wu is completely different from a matchmaker in the traditional sense.What she actually did was a great and noble cause.It's just that very few people realize this. If other girls said that, Sister Wu would happily praise her as a sensible and good girl.But hearing Baidou say this sentence made Sister Wu unable to boast.It's really embarrassing for Sister Wu. Sister Wu liked the piece of cloth printed with small blue flowers, and she planned to use it to make a small padded jacket for winter.The problem is that hare and pheasant are really tasty too.The two hares and pheasant braised a large pot of braised pork, and the whole family ate it for three days.The child and her husband, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, ate and said it was delicious.

Can't make up my mind for Baidou.It wasn't Baidou who made things difficult for her.It was Lao Hu and Lao Yang who made things difficult for her.Let Bai Dou marry Lao Hu, she feels sorry for Lao Yang's cloth, and let Bai Dou marry Lao Yang, she feels sorry for Lao Hu's hare and pheasant. There was nothing that made Sister Wu so sad, she couldn't sleep in bed. After Deputy Battalion Commander Liu came back, he climbed onto the bed and onto her.After making a sound on the bed, she panted and slid off Sister Wu. After a while, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu fell asleep.Usually, Miss Wu would fall asleep after a while.But right now, she couldn't sleep.I promised Lao Hu and Lao Yang that I would call them back tomorrow.

Think, think, really think of a way.I'm not sure if this method will work.Then he woke up Deputy Battalion Commander Liu.Deputy Battalion Commander Liu asked her what's the matter? Sister Wu said that she wanted to discuss something with you. After all, men are more knowledgeable than women. After listening to what Sister Wu said, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, what are you going to do?Sister Wu said, anyway, Baidou said that she can marry anyone.I want Lao Hu and Lao Yang to discuss and resolve it by themselves.Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said that this method will not work.Sister Wu said, why not?Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, you didn't plan to kill anyone because of this, did you?Sister Wu said, it won't be so serious, right?Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, why not? Think about it, let two male wolves fight for a female wolf, what would be the result.Sister Wu kept silent, and said again after a while, what do you think should be done?After all, men are a bit more knowledgeable than women.Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, in fact, this matter is not difficult to handle.Sister Wu said, then tell me quickly, what should I do?Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, draw lots.Sister Wu didn't understand, so she asked again, what are you arresting?Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, draw lots.Sister Wu said, how to catch him?Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, two pieces of paper, write Baidou's name on one piece of paper, and don't write anything on the other piece of paper.Crumple two sheets of paper into equal-sized eggs.Let two people catch it together, and if you catch the one with the name written on it, let him marry Baidou.If you caught someone who didn't write their name, you had to accept your fate.This is fair and reasonable, no one will blame anyone, not you, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for your bad life.

It sounds a little inappropriate. It seems that such a major event as a marriage is decided by drawing lots. It seems that I have never heard of it.But if you think about it carefully, apart from this method, it seems that there is no better way than this. Lao Yang and Lao Hu were called to the battalion headquarters by Sister Wu.At first none of them noticed that there were two white paper eggs on the table in front of them.Maybe their eyes have touched them, but they will never associate their life events with a paper egg. Lao Yang doesn't look at Lao Hu, and Lao Hu doesn't look at Lao Yang either.At this time, they all hope that there will be no such person as the other party in the world.Their eyes all fell on Sister Wu's face.Sister Wu's face was not pretty, but to them, this face was very kind and charming at this moment.They all believe that the mouth on this face can bring them good luck.The somewhat thick mouth finally opened, but the sound that came out surprised both Lao Hu and Lao Yang.Sister Wu said, and Baidou said, you two are fine, he can marry anyone.I also think you two are fine, whoever will marry her will do.For Lao Yang and Lao Hu, what Sister Wu said was like saying nothing.What they wanted to hear was another word.Sister Wu said that after seeking Baidou's opinion and conducting organizational research (in fact, it was the idea of ​​her and her husband in bed), we decided to use lottery to decide whether Baidou would marry one of you.Old Hu and Yang were stunned.This is certainly not what they want to hear.They never thought that Sister Wu would say that, so they took a look at the two paper eggs on the table.Sister Wu said, of course, if you have a better way, we don't have to do it.Say, for example, one of you offers to voluntarily give up the white beans.If anyone is willing to give up, I promise to introduce another one to him.Sister Wu looked at Lao Yang, who shook his head.Sister Wu looked at Lao Hu again, and Lao Hu shook his head too, and then looked at the two paper eggs together, as if to see that Baidou's name was hidden in the paper egg.Sister Wu said, "Catch it. If you catch someone with a name written on it, it's a blessing. If you catch someone without a name, it's fate."

White Beans - Chapter Two (2) This method made Lao Hu and Yang feel awkward, but they couldn't think of a better method than this.Besides, this is the organization's decision, and they cannot disobey the organization.The important point is that everyone feels that he and Baidou are destined for each other, and that God will favor them.I must be able to catch the paper egg with Baidou's name written on it. They stretched out their hands together, and each of the two thick and dark hands grabbed a paper egg. The paper egg was held in the palm of my hand and didn't open immediately.They sat down on a bench at the same time.It seems that this paper egg is a big rock, which is too heavy for them to stand up.

Hu Tie opened the ball of paper, it was all white, and there was nothing, and his brain also turned white.Without saying anything, he opened the door and walked out of the battalion headquarters. Seeing Lao Hu leaving, Lao Yang thought of something, but he didn't dare to think so.Things that you want too much always make people feel that they will not be so easy to get.Lao Yang's heart beat fast.With shaking hands, he opened the ball of paper.He yelled OMG.All of a sudden, she knelt down on the ground, kneeling in front of Sister Wu, which shocked Sister Wu.Lao Yang said, thank you, big sister, and thank the party, I have a daughter-in-law.Sister Wu said, go ahead and get ready to get married.Lao Yang said, big sister, I will definitely repay you.When he said this, Lao Yang was a little excited, and there were tears in his eyes.But Sister Wu was thinking that in the future, it would be impossible for her family to eat such delicious pheasant and hare again.

Sister Wu told Baidou the result.Sister Wu said, are you happy?Don't forget me, a great matchmaker. Seeing the back of Sister Wu going away, Baidou couldn't be happy at all, and of course, she couldn't say there was anything unhappy about it. He heard the beating of hammers coming from the blacksmith's shop.Baidou walked out of the house, stood at the door and looked west.The sun was setting, and it seemed to be falling into the blacksmith's shop, and the blacksmith's shop seemed to be on fire. Unknowingly walked towards the blacksmith shop.Walking on the road, Baidou thought, he will never accompany me to Populus euphratica forest again.What an interesting place Populus euphratica Forest is, it seems that I have not played enough in it.But she won't have any chance to go there in the future, and without Lao Hu's company, there won't be so much fun in the Populus euphratica forest. Marriage and marriage are all about marriage.If there is no marriage, everything is the same as in the past, and it would be great to have the care of two people at the same time.Baidou really hated the word "marriage". To the blacksmith shop.Seeing Lao Hu blacksmithing, he was still shirtless.The hammer was raised and lowered, and each time it fell, a spark would burst out.Sparks splashed onto his face, arms, and chest, burning his skin, but he didn't seem to be in any pain.Is he really a piece of iron?His name is Hu Tie, and he is a blacksmith, but he is not a piece of iron, he has blood, flesh, and bones, and he has everything that others have.What's more, he has abilities that others don't have. He can turn hard steel plates and iron blocks into various useful agricultural tools, and he can also make small knives fly out of his palm like bullets. Suddenly, Baidou felt that deep down in his heart, Lao Hu's position was more important than Lao Yang's? I really want to go up and say to Old Hu, Brother Hu, you are really good, it is me who is not good, I am sorry for you.But she knew that what she said at this time would not make Lao Hu happy. The hammer was still going up and down.I couldn't see what Lao Hu was beating.But Baidou felt that the hammer was hitting his heart.Baidou wanted to cry.Bai Dou wanted to shout, no, no, I'm not married, I'm not married. The night, like a cloth, covered the camp. Lao Yang walked into Baidou's house, the night covered the trees, the crops, and the river, but it couldn't hide the pride on Lao Yang's face. Lao Yang said, Miss Wu told you, right?Bai Dou said, yes.Lao Yang said, you know everything?Baidou said, got it.Lao Yang said, tomorrow, I will go buy some candy and cigarettes, okay?Baidou said, yes.Lao Yang said, let's get the marriage certificate, shall we?Baidou said, yes.Lao Yang said, I will pull a new set of clothes for you.Baidou said, yes.Lao Yang said, you don't seem to be happy.Baidou said, I am not unhappy.Lao Yang said, I'm leaving.Baidou said, yes. They all stood there and finished what was said above.Originally, Lao Yang thought a lot before entering the door.He wanted to do something other than just talk.He thought it all over.For example, no matter what, you have to kiss Baidou on the face.If Baidou was happy, he would kiss Baidou's other places as well.It even occurred to him that, if possible, he would do ahead of time what he had done in the bridal chamber. Bai Dou didn't say a single no, but Bai Dou's appearance made him unsure if he had finished speaking and whether he wanted to do something else.He thought, he said he was leaving, if Baidou said to sit for a while, then he would act.But Baidou calmly said a good word.There is nothing he can do.He had no choice but to walk out of the house. In fact, Bai Dou wanted to let Lao Yang stay for a while when he heard that Lao Yang said to leave. After all, they were going to be husband and wife soon, at least they should talk about things that ordinary people don't say together.But at this moment, she smelled the smell of smoke emanating from Lao Yang's body, so strong and so strong, it made her feel a little sick. .All of a sudden, he didn't want Lao Yang to stay in the house anymore. When he walked out of the house, Lao Yang was not too disappointed.Anyway, eat it early and eat it late, he ate this piece of hot tofu, and no one would argue with him.If you are sure that something is yours, then you don't have to worry too much. The days are long, the whole life is long, and there is a lot of time for him to eat enough of the white beans, the hot tofu. As soon as he went out, Lao Yang hummed an opera tune from his hometown. With the moon, the night is no longer like a piece of cloth.The snow-capped mountains far away and the nearby houses seem to be splashed with ink, but they are black but not dark. As he walked, a pillar popped out of the ground.This is a way, and there are no pillars on the way.But there was indeed a pillar standing in front of Lao Yang.The pillar is like a standing stone or a tree trunk without branches. Lao Yang stood down and stood in front of the pillar. Not a rock, not a tree trunk, the pillar is a person. Lao Yang said, who? White Beans - Chapter Two (3) The night is not like a piece of cloth, but the night is like a piece of fuzzy glass. You can't see clearly at once, but you can see clearly after a while. The pillar is a person, and the person is none other than Lao Hu. Lao Yang said, Lao Hu, what are you doing?Old nonsense, I want to talk to you.Lao Yang said, what is there to talk about?Old nonsense, talk about it and you will understand.Lao Yang said, Lao Hu, this is fate, you admit it.Old nonsense, I don't believe in fate.Lao Yang said, but you have to trust the organization.Old nonsense, I just want to talk to you.Lao Yang said, what do you want to talk about?Old nonsense, you will know after talking about it.Lao Yang said, well, you are very uncomfortable, I know.Old nonsense, there are some things you don't know yet.Lao Yang said, but I know the white beans are mine.At this moment, Lao Yang felt that the blacksmith was really pitiful.pitiful him.As a comrade-in-arms who went through life and death together, he should also comfort Lao Hu.He said, well, if you want to talk, talk. The pillar moved away, and Lao Yang followed the pillar. At this time, a man like Lao Hu could only act like a pillar. There is a sand dune to the west of the camp, and there is a Populus euphratica tree on the sand dune.There are no branches on the tree, no leaves.It is a dead tree.How he died, no one knows, it may have died of thirst, may have been murdered, or may have died of old age.It has been dead for many years, and no one knows. When the pioneers came here, it was standing here, as if it was waiting for something, and it seemed to be talking about something. In the dark, look at this tree.Like an arm stretching out into the air with five fingers together.There are a few bats flying around it, ghostly. Sit on the dunes.Lao Yang was still smoking.Lao Hu doesn't smoke, and he still plays with the small knife that he never leaves his hand. There was no wind, and the night was deadly still. Old nonsense, do you know what I did before I was a soldier?Lao Yang said, who doesn't know that you are a bandit on the mountain.Old nonsense, do you know what I did before I became a bandit?Lao Yang said, I don't know.The old nonsense said, I am playing throwing knives in an acrobatic team.Lao Yang said, no wonder you throw the knife so accurately.Old nonsense, do you know why I went to the mountains to be a bandit?Lao Yang said, I don't know. Old Hu said that there is a girl in the team who can hold twenty large porcelain bowls on her head at a time.Her skin is as white and moist as the porcelain of a porcelain bowl.I think I must marry her as my wife in the future.When I was not performing, I took her to the market. She loved to eat candied haws and I bought her ten bunches at a time.I said that after you become my wife, I will buy you candied haws every day.She didn't say marry me but she smiled, I knew she would marry me.But the team leader also took a fancy to him and wanted to marry him as his concubine.And ran to her house one night and took her.The next day when I found out about this, I didn’t say anything. During the performance, the knife in my hand didn’t fly to the target in front of me, but flew to the head of the class leader standing by the edge of the stage. Drill out on the right.like this... As he said that, the knife flew out in his hand, and Lao Yang felt a light flash in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, the light became a light nailed to the tree, and a bat was convulsing painfully under the knife point. Lao Hu went on to say that after killing the class leader, he had to go up the mountain and become a bandit.Do you know why I stopped being a bandit and joined the Eighth Route Army? Lao Yang didn't speak, he didn't want to hear Lao Hu talk about these things. The old nonsense is also for a woman.That woman was the daughter of a small landowner. I saw her when we robbed her family's property.I told the bandit leader that I don't want money, I don't want money, I just want this woman to be my wife.The bandit leader promised well, but he changed when he got to the mountain.He said that he wanted this woman to be his fortress.If I didn't agree, he tied me up and threw me into the cave to let the wolves come and eat me.I cut the rope with a small knife close to my body and ran back to the village. I saw the bandit leader sleeping with his arms around the woman. Arteries, blood sprayed all over the roof, and that's it... Another knife flew out of his hand, like the one just now, and nailed another bat to the old tree. Lao Yang said, what do you mean by telling me this?The old nonsense said that apart from those two women, Baidou was the third woman I saw that I wanted to marry as my wife.Lao Yang said, are you scaring me?Old nonsense, what I said is true.Lao Yang said, what you are talking about is about the old society. Now it is the Communist Party, and no one can do anything wrong.The old nonsense said, no matter how the world changes, I am a man, and this will not change.A man wants to marry a woman as his wife, and that doesn't change.Lao Yang said, do you really dare to mess around?The old nonsense said, for women, I have already killed two people.For a woman, it is not impossible for me to kill another person.Lao Yang said, then you will die too.The old nonsense, I admit it, this is my life. Old Hu said that he stabbed the third knife into the tree again, and the bat tried to escape but did not escape.Knives are faster than that. When the troops went to Xiayedi, they entered the stage of land reclamation and production, and all sabers, guns and guns were put into the warehouse.Lao Hu's small knife is not a weapon, and no one will take it.Small knives can only be used to kill melons and peel fruits in other people's hands, but in the hands of Lao Hu, it has become something that can kill people at any time. Three small knives were taken from the tree, and blood dripped from the knives into the sand.Wiping the knife on the upper of the shoe, he held it in his hand again. Lao Hu walked past Lao Yang, and brought a gust of wind, which made Lao Yang cold all over. I saw Lao Hu's shadow move away a little bit, and gradually disappeared into the night.The cigarette in Lao Yang's hand forgot to put it in his mouth and smoked, and it was already extinguished. Lao Yang hit the sand dune with a punch.The sand dunes are soft and there is no sound when you hit them.But Lao Yang continued to smash down, cursing at the same time.What kind of bastard, beast, shit, donkey, anyway, he said all the curse words he could think of, and scolded Lao Hu's ancestors for eight lifetimes. After scolding, I suddenly lost my energy, my body went limp, and I collapsed on the sand dune.As if dead, he remained motionless for a long time, just like the old Populus euphratica beside him.Not as good as that Populus euphratica.Hu Yang was still standing, but Lao Yang could only lie there. White Beans - Chapter Two (4) Lie there, Lao Yang thought to himself.In this world, people who take other people's lives for the sake of women are fools.And for the sake of women, people who let others kill themselves are even more stupid than fools. It was dawn and the sun came out.Lao Yang did not go to the field department as planned.He went to the camp to find Sister Wu. Tell Sister Wu, Sister Wu, I thought about it all night, even though I like white beans very much.But I am a Communist.I should do nothing to benefit others.Comrade Hu Tie is an ordinary citizen. At this time, I think I should proceed from the interests of the masses.Let him form a revolutionary partner with Comrade Baidou. Sister Wu looked at Lao Yang in disbelief. Lao Yang said, really, Sister Wu, I am very grateful to the organization for caring about me, and I will repay it with hard work.Please tell Baidou and Hu Tie that I wish them happiness. Sister Wu was a little moved.She said, Lao Yang, I never expected you to have such a high level of ideological awareness, you are amazing.Don't worry, there are suitable lesbians.I'll introduce you right away.At the same time, I will also report your performance to the organization. Lao Yang left. Although I still don't understand, I think Lao Yang's behavior is a bit ridiculous.But Sister Wu was still very happy.It seems that you can eat the game sent by Lao Hu again. Standing at the door of Baidou's house, he didn't go in and called Baidou to come out.Baidou thought that Lao Yang bought back the wedding candy and cigarettes. When Baidou came out, he was a little surprised to see that Lao Yang was empty-handed. Lao Yang said, Comrade Baidou, let me tell you, the two of us have nothing to do with each other now.Bai Dou said that he didn't understand.Lao Yang said, let me tell you, I won't marry you, and you don't want to marry me either.Baidou said, why?Lao Yang said that it was not because of anything.Baidou said, do you dislike me?Lao Yang said, don't ask so many questions, anyway, you can marry whoever you want.Baidou said, then who shall I marry? --marry me. A third voice came.Lao Yang and Bai Dou looked over together and saw Lao Hu standing not far away. Lao Yang turned around and left. Lao Yang wanted to find a place to cry. Lao Hu walked up to Baidou. Old nonsense, marry me, will you? Baidou said, do you smoke? Nonsense, I don't smoke. Bai Dou sniffed, but he didn't smell the smell of smoke on Lao Hu's body. Baidou said, that's all right. Received a letter from Baimai. Baimai said in the letter that she was married and did not set off firecrackers or take a bridal sedan chair.No one even came to make trouble in the bridal chamber.It's just that she wears a red flower on her chest, which is still made of paper. When Baimai said that, Baidou was not surprised at all.In the village, I saw many people marrying their daughters-in-law, and thought that a woman must sit in a sedan chair when she gets married.When I came to this place, I saw that the women here got married in a different way, and then I realized that the revolutionary marriage law does not have sedan chairs.When Bai Mai got married, she didn't have a sedan chair to sit in, and when she got married, she also didn't have a sedan chair to sit in. Bai Mai also said in the letter that she also participated in the work, and said that Bai Mai would never think of her work.Nothing else but going to school.Go to an accelerated middle school for workers and peasants to study. This really caught Bai Dou by surprise.When Baimai talked about getting married, Baidou didn't envy him at all, and felt that it was a pity that Baimai married such an old man who was blind in one eye. I heard that Baimai went to school again.It really made Baidou very angry.Bai Dou really wants to go to school.Mother's thinking is very feudal, and the daughter of the family is only allowed to study for three years, saying that it is useless to read too much.He also said that she didn't read a book for a day, and she still married and gave birth to a lot of children.He also said that if the Eighth Route Army hadn't come, Baidou wouldn't even be able to read books for a day.Because of this matter, Baidou was really angry with his mother. Mother wanted her to marry someone, but she refused to marry. The Xinjiang Corps came to recruit female soldiers, but mother refused to let her go.The support of cadres, the government's business, mother-in-law, there is no way but to let Baidou come to Xinjiang. If there was anything good about Baimai staying in the city that made Baidou feel good, it was this one.Baimai can read and recognize many words.When Baidou came to the farm, Baidou could not go there. He came from the same village and arrived in Xinjiang. Baidou could not go to school and could only do farm work. Baidou was happy for Baimai, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.I didn't have the idea of ​​going to Xinjiang to study again, so I didn't think so much about it. Bai Mai didn't say much about the marriage in the letter.Baidou wanted to hear Baimai talk about this.It's not that Baidou doesn't know anything about how a woman marries a man, and she's heard it from others.But listening to others is different from listening to Baimai.Who knows which sentence is true and which sentence is nonsense.What Bai Mai said must be true.Baidou believes in Baimai, just like he believes in himself. But this Bai Mai didn't mention anything about the bridal chamber.This made the white beans a little bit annoyed with the white wheat.She felt that if Baimai didn't tell her, he still didn't treat her as her own sister. Write to Baimai. The letter said, I am also going to get married soon, and he is a blacksmith.The iron is well beaten, and I hit a soil trowel, which is very easy to use. No one knew what happened between the two men, they were still going in and out of the same room, but they didn't always say hello and say useful and useless things like before. In fact, Lao Hu wanted to take the initiative to say something to Lao Yang many times.But as soon as he moved his face closer, Lao Yang's face turned away immediately, making Lao Hu want to say something but couldn't say anything. Seeing Lao Yang smoking a cigarette with his head sullen, Lao Hu really felt sorry for Lao Yang.When a man has reached this point, everyone will feel sorry for him.Lao Hu couldn't be indifferent when facing him.I even thought about whether I had done something wrong, whether I had acted a little evil, a little domineering, or a little bad. There is no one in the world who can do everything right.What's more, there are many things that seemed to be done wrong at the time, but they were right afterward. On the contrary, there are also many things that seemed to be done right at the time, but they were wrong again afterward. White Beans - Chapter Two (5) Lao Hu didn't know whether the current matter would be right or wrong in the future.He didn't even think about it.He is just a man, a thirty-year-old man. For him, the biggest thing in the world is to marry the woman he likes back as his wife. A woman can turn a man into a fool, into a madman.When a man really likes a woman, he can really do anything for this woman. However, now it seems that there is nothing for Lao Hu to do. Lao Hu has already talked with Bai Dou about getting married. The word seems to be used because Baidou has not officially become his wife.The wedding is scheduled to be held on October 1st, National Day.This is the day that Sister Wu selected for them when they sent pheasants and hares to Sister Wu.Say This is a good day. On that day, the whole country celebrates it, and it is celebrated on this day every year. The National Day will become the wedding anniversary of the two of you.Old Hu was very pleased with what he said. It was just over July when I said this, and it will take more than two months until October 1st. Lao Hu felt a little bit too long waiting, although he couldn't think of anything else that could change the chosen day, But he still hopes that it will be better one day earlier.Because no matter how great you are, you never know what will happen tomorrow in your life. If Lao Hu could know, a man would appear between him and Baidou just one month later.This man can't handle knives, and his body is not as strong as Lao Hu's, but he is stronger and more powerful than Lao Hu.If Lao Hu knew that this man would appear between him and Baidou one day, then Lao Hu might not agree to the auspicious day chosen by Sister Wu, and he would immediately find a day off Baidou is married. He could have done it, but he didn't.Don't be too anxious about the affairs of your life. When a big man does something, he can't be in a hurry to make people laugh. Lao Hu didn't know what was going to happen next.No one in Xiaye knew, not even the man who wanted to marry Baidou after more than a month.This man had at least five chances to walk past Baidou before this, but this man didn't even pay attention to Baidou. No one, no matter how great, can fully control the course of his life at any time.As for what Laohu is, he is essentially no different from a grass, a tree, or a stone. The major events in Lao Hu's life belong to him alone.a person's business, In this season, in Xiayedi, the matter of Lao Hu is nothing at all. In Shimoji, the real big deal is another thing. As a gift to the "August 1st" Army Day, a canal named "Military Reclamation Canal" was opened.It is not a coincidence that there are two military characters in this sentence.There are too many meanings behind it. There were no people in Shimonodi before 1950, but in 1950 a large group of people flocked all of a sudden.These people came to farm, but they were all armed with knives and guns.They didn't even have time to remove the soldier's badges from the caps and collars.Until now they are still used to doing things in yellow uniforms.The farm is still using the military establishment including some management methods.For them, August 1st is still their important holiday.Although their actual lives are not much different from those of farmers in the north and south, they stubbornly regard themselves as soldiers in their bones.Even if it is a soldier who opens up wasteland and farms, he must stick to the word soldier. The excavation of the Army Reclamation Canal took more than two years, and three people died while digging the canal.Among them was a Shandong female soldier who was only nineteen years old. In the coldest month of heavy snowfall, she was knocked down to the bottom of the ditch by a clod of frozen soil that rolled down.They were all buried on the mound beside the canal.Their existence did not dilute the joy brought to everyone when the canal was opened. People cheered for this big canal.This artificially dug river is 300 miles long and runs down from the snow peak called Tianshan Mountain in the southwest. The scorching sun in summer ensures that it will not dry up even in the driest season, and it will also roll with waves.The 300,000 mu of desert in Xiayedi will become an oasis under its nourishment.The settlers will have more and more cotton corn and wheat, and all life in the wilderness will become more and more colorful with the flow of this artificial river. Beside the canal, there is a colorful gate made of pine branches and weeds and flowers, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers merged into the sky.Everyone in Shimono came to the Caimen and cheered.Even the head of the Corps also came from Urumqi.Among them, the head with the highest rank, although he only has one eye, his position in everyone's mind has not been affected.His speech was interrupted again and again by warm applause.Especially his last sentence made everyone jump for joy.He said, if there is a paradise in the world, then our Xiayedi is a paradise, and it is getting better and better. Who doesn't want to live in paradise, and the same goes for those who go down to the wild. Baidou was also by the canal, in the crowd, listening to the chief's speech, and saw that the chief had only one eye.It's just that she never thought that he would be Bai Mai's husband.Baimai only said in her letter that she was married to a chief, but she never said that the chief had only one eye. Because she didn't know, she couldn't imagine what Bai Dou would think and do if she really knew that the one-eyed chief was Bai Mai's husband.No one can predict what didn't happen. The completion of the canal is really a big event. Though we fully appreciate its importance, there are still some things that surprise us when they do happen under its influence. The sixth day after the canal was opened. In the afternoon, there was no wind, no clouds, and the sun was in the sky, a little slanted. A woman walks out of the house. Her arms were bent, and she carried a wicker basket full of clothes, women's and men's. White Beans - Chapter Two (6) She is a fat woman, very young, and there is no trace of wrinkle on her smooth face.There is a kind of lightness and joy in the steps that rise and fall. Anyone could see where she was going and what she was going to do. Before her, there have been many women walking like her.After her, there will be many women walking like her. A woman goes to the water to do her laundry. This is really a very common thing, not only in Xiaye, but also in other parts of the world. However, when we say this, maybe something extraordinary has begun to appear in this ordinary thing. It's just that we can't see it yet, we don't even notice it at all, but how close it is to us. This afternoon, this woman, and that canal determine the course of our story.
