Chapter 4 White gull leading in spring boat

There is a small village on the bank of the Jiao River, and there are two families facing the gate at the east end of the village.The family in the east is named Tian, ​​and the head of the household, Tian Chengkuan, has an only daughter named Lihua. The family in the west is surnamed Liang, and the head of the household, Liang Chengquan, has an only son named Dabao. When the in-house shopkeepers of the two families had children, family planning was not in fashion yet. They would have as many children as they wished, as many as they could, and they would be rewarded for having more children.It's strange to say that after the two shopkeepers each gave birth to a child, they were never seen again.The Tian family still wants to have a son, and the Liang family still wants a daughter.Sometimes the two women get together to work together, and it is inevitable to encourage each other. "Sister-in-law, hold back your energy and have another son." "So what about you? Don't you get mad and have a daughter?" "I won't win, there is only one child in my stomach, and the birth is clean..." The Liang family patted The stomach uttered foul words, and the Tian family bent over and laughed.

Neither of them was born again, probably the child in their womb was born clean. In the blink of an eye, the girl from the Tian family grew up to be a slim girl, and the boy from the Liang family became a young man who was big and rough. When Dabao and Lihua were in school, it was the troubled times.Dabao went to the house at school to expose tiles, beat dogs to scare chickens.When Liang Chengquan saw that his son was not doing well in school, he quickly "ordered" him to drop out of school.As soon as Lao Tian saw Laoliang's family pulling his son back, he thought to himself, "My son doesn't go to school anymore. What are the girls doing? No matter how educated they are, they are still theirs. There is no need to make wedding clothes for them." Soon, He also let Li Hua drop out of school.

The girl from the Tian family and the boy from the Liang family have the same level of education, they are both junior high school students with two swords, and young intellectuals. Farmers like to push hard in their daily lives, and no one is afraid of being pulled down by someone, and the Liang family of the Tian family is no exception.But in those days, the work in the team was very loud, and the pig's head and hooves were boiled in one pot, and the skills were too great to be used.There is a strong young man in the Liang family who is so angry that his life is not as good as that of the Tian family.The girls of the Tian family are ingenious and handy, and earn a lot of work points.In addition, the girls are diligent, and when they are working and resting (the rest time is longer than the working time), they can also pick out a basket of wild vegetables and go home to feed the pigs.As for Dabao, when he is resting, he either sleeps with his nostrils and eyes in the sun or plays poker with his hat turned upside down.Therefore, Tian's family sells two more fat pigs than Liang's every year, which gradually puts Liang's family down.For this, Lao Liang was very dissatisfied, as if the Tian family's life was only possible because of his son's glory.The two old men met.Lao Liang often blows the northwest wind with thorns: "Brother, your family is full of rice from the old nose! If the production was contracted to the household like in 1962, with your team, you would have hung your teeth long ago." Tian Chengkuan The most taboo is that people say that he has no son, and that there is no son in the village.Once someone ridiculed him as an old "extinct leader", he had nowhere to be angry, so he went home and beat his wife well.Although Liang Chengquan's words did not directly expose his scars, they alluded to the fact that he had no son.He couldn't get angry from one place, not because of his decades-old neighbor, he was about to turn his face.He teased Lao Liang and said: "If you have the ability, you can lead Dabao to 'La Xilav' (Yugoslavia), where production is contracted to households."

This is all a few years ago.At the beginning, neither of the two old men could have imagined that the household contract of production that only "Rashirafu" had was revived in China. After the membership meeting, Liang Chengquan went home singing a little play.When I got home, I asked the old woman to scramble two eggs, drink one cup after another of dried potato wine, and soon became drunk.He muttered to himself: "Hey, it's really a turn of events. Times come and go. The land is leased to the households. With this big son and the old man's gangsters, it's better not to be brave in the village." Weird thing...Old Brother Tian, ​​it's up to you to be ugly, and I'm to be the best..." He spoke vaguely, and snoring started.

After Tian Chengkuan finished the meeting, his body felt cold and depressed, and he followed the crowd out of the meeting to the street.The sky was full of stars, and a lone goose flew past whining.In front of him was the swaying figure of Liang Chengquan, and Lao Liang's out-of-tune jokes kept drilling into his ears.When he got home, he threw himself on the kang, tossed the "pancakes" over and over, and sighed repeatedly.His wife came up to him and touched his head. It was neither hot nor cold, so he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" Lao Tian didn't respond.The wife raised her voice and said: "Where is it uncomfortable? Can I pinch and rub it for you?" He pushed his wife impatiently: "Go to the side!" "Crazy again, crazy again, who messed with you again?" "You've offended me!" Lao Tian suddenly folded his body and shouted at his wife, "The household contract has been settled! If you don't have a son, you should suffer!" In an instant, my wife understood.Not giving birth to more children for a man, especially not giving birth to a son for a man, is the biggest heart disease in her life, and she feels sorry for the man.She once told Lao Tian that if giving birth to a son is a job, she would finish it without sleeping for ten and a half months, but this is not a job.Over the past few years, his daughter has gradually grown up. Seeing that his daughter is still earning work points, Lao Tian gradually feels less resentment toward his wife.Tonight, when he heard about the household contract, especially when he saw Lao Liang's complacent look, Lao Tian suffered from a heart attack again, and when he got home, he got angry with his wife.Unexpectedly, my wife has had a daughter to support her in the past few years, so she stopped drinking his pot, and quarreled with him with a straight voice: "Blame me? I also blame you Lai! You have one less 'fork' than others! ""Who is missing a 'fork handle?!'" "You are missing a 'fork handle!'"... My wife has attended family planning classes several times and saw two pairs of "xx" drawn by the propagandist on the blackboard , Said it was for a woman, they were all the same, and drew a "xx", saying that it was for a man, if it meets it, it will give birth to a boy, if it doesn't, it will not give birth.She couldn't remember those nouns, but she remembered that it had nothing to do with women not to have sons.Therefore, she insisted that Lao Tian lacked a "fork".Where has Lao Tian heard of this?Grandma's, after a long time, I'm missing a "fork handle"!His eyes were wide open, and he was gesticulating to punch his wife.At this time, Li Hua's voice came from the yard humming a little tune. People in their fifties and sixties were afraid of letting their children see the joke, and they were even more afraid of causing a joint resistance between the mother and daughter.Lao Tian had no choice but to go down the steps by himself: "Be careful, you, if you dare to say that I don't have a 'fork', I will smash your skin..." He took off his clothes and fell asleep muttering.

It's up to you.The Tian family's land was allocated together with the Liang family's land, which really echoed the saying "If you're not enemies, you don't get together".Lao Tian was very unhappy, but he had no choice but to draw lots, luck. As soon as the first month passed, Liang Chengquan drove his son out of the pigsty and changed the kang slabs, and the soil and manure piled up into a hill.Lao Tian didn't dare to neglect, and took his daughter to the pigsty.In February, the frost hadn't fully thawed, and there was ice in the pigsty, which had to be broken open with a pick.Lihua played wild in the first month, and she pouted her mouth so hard that she could tie two donkeys.She didn't change the brand-new clothes, avoiding getting them dirty.Lao Tian took off his cotton-padded jacket, swung a pickaxe, breathed heavily, and was on fire in his heart, so he said to his daughter's nose, "Auntie, go home and change your clothes, it's not right to start a pigsty." Singing, no one is watching you!" Lihua drooped her eyelids, and muttered in a low voice: "Midget your own business, but don't change." She didn't admit that Lao Tian heard her words, and Lao Tian was so angry that he shoveled a shovel of thin dung. "Chi Chi" was thrown at Lihua's feet, splashing her with stinky feces.She put down the shovel and ran home crying.

Old Tianyu cursed angrily: "Little bastard, I betrayed you, without me, who would give you a pickaxe? I betrayed you, betrayed..." While Lao Tian was chattering, Lao Liang walked over with his cigarette bag in his mouth, hugging his shoulders, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother, you are so angry! Why are you betting with the Man'er family? Let's go and sit in my room." Sit down, I just brewed a pot of good tea." "Not so lucky!" Lao Tian felt greatly insulted by Lao Liang's expression.He gave Lao Liang a word, threw the pickaxe, and stormed into the house, without taking off his muddy shoes, lay down on the kang, looked at the roof and opened his abacus: "It's ruined, this time!" It’s ruined, your mother’s household contract, your mother’s old Liang... I just recognized him today, and there will be a lot of hard work in the future, and I have to rely on me, an old man, as the mainstay. Hey, I only complain Resentment—does Lao Liang really have more 'forks' than me?" Lao Liang's gloating smile flashed in front of his eyes again, he jumped off the kang, took a bottle of wine from the cupboard, and poured it down. I took half a bottle...

Lihua lay on the kang and cried, her mother couldn't persuade her anyway.Later when Lao Liang came, she stopped crying and listened to what Lao Liang and her father were talking with her ears closed.Father was so angry that he threw his shovel onto the kang, and Lihua felt a fire in her heart.She tore off her new clothes in twos and threes, and ran to the pigsty. With a flick of her shoes and socks, she jumped into the pigsty.Her mother yelled distressedly: "My child, do you want to die?" went. After March 3rd, the spring breeze blows green willow treetops, and peach blossoms bloom with red bones.The ground was frozen, and standing at the head of the village, the water vapor steaming in the fields fluttered like a milky white gauze.

Dabao pushed a wheelbarrow and began to deliver dung to the field.The dung basket made of acacia strips was half a meter long, like two small boats. He still couldn't satisfy his greed, so he added a sharp point after filling it full.The place is quite far away, on the river beach three miles away, it is not worthwhile to pretend to be less. The boy from the Liang family started to move, and the girl from the Tian family also pushed out the car.Lihua has a strong personality, and he also imitated Dabao's appearance and made the dung basket pointy.She drove the car and took two steps, her heart beating like a drum.Gritting his teeth, he walked a few more steps, "Hulong", and the person and the car fell over.Just in time for Lao Liang to walk over from there, he said with a smile: "Ewha, don't knock down the wall of my house." Lihua was feeling depressed in her heart, so she didn't care whether he was an elder, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Hey! Your house knocked down the house and broke your old donkey's leg!" Lao Liang was not angry and replied with a smile. "You're not stubborn." Lihua spat at Lao Liang's back, spit on the palm of her hand twice, and drove the car again.This time he was even more useless, lying on the ground without moving his nest.

Lao Tian came back with a dung basket on his back, and seeing his daughter's distressed appearance, he couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Don't try to be brave! Don't pack too much, load half the car, and move slowly. What can you do, hey!" Lihua believed her father's words, and finally got on the road pushing half a carload of dung.She headed east and west, crooked, stumbling, like a drunk.Struggling to the middle of the road, I ran into Dabao returning with dung.Dabao was wearing a red jersey with a drape over his shoulders, holding on to the handlebar with one hand and swinging it with the other, looking chic and neat.

Seeing Lihua's distressed appearance, Dabao laughed with a "puchi".Pear Blossom's face turned red like a cockscomb.She put down the car suddenly, Xingzi stared at Dabao with her eyes wide open, and said sharply, "What are you laughing at?! Did you drink a bitch's urine? Did you eat a cat's feces?" Dabao stuck out his tongue in fright, and quibbled: "Who Are you laughing at you?" "The dog is laughing at me!" "Dog!" "Dog."...The two quarreled for a while, and Dabao was wronged, so he reconciled and said: "Good sister, don't be angry, listen to me push you!" Let me tell you about the essentials of the car. You need to have a posture when pushing the car, hold the handlebars tightly, look forward, don’t look at the wheels, go with the force, don’t use the force..." Li Huabai Glancing at him, he said, "Don't worry about eating radishes that are salty!" Dabao was so choked that his tongue got stuck, and Lihua got stuck on the car again, and walked forward all the way askew. Dabao stared at Lihua's back and was stunned. He waited until Lihua left the village, then he pushed the empty cart and walked home. His unrestrained vigor just now had disappeared, and he seemed to have something on his mind.Dejected and listless. At dinner, Liang Chengquan sat on the edge of the kang and said happily to Dabao: "Hmph, don't be afraid of Lao Tian's stubborn muscles. If there is no big pot of rice, there will be no mantras. With a stick, the rats will move around like a house. The year of the monkey will go down." Plant it!" Dabao didn't say a word, just ate his food in suspense. After eating, Dabao climbed onto his kang early and pretended to sleep with a ghost.The moon was shining brightly in the sky, illuminating the window paper brightly, and a little cricket "squeaked" on the window sill.After a while, Dad's snoring like thunder came from the east room.Dabao tiptoed down the kang.The door was opened and the car rolled out.The moon is so nice, hanging in the sky like a big silver plate, it makes him feel refreshed and happy.He packed the manure on the manure pile of Lihua's house, and pushed the cart out of the village, beating in his heart for fear of being bumped into. Fortunately, the farmers were sleepy, and the whole village was silent now.Dabao's feet seemed to be oiled, and his heart seemed to melt into honey. The more dry he became, the more vigorous he became... The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lihua got up, ready to deliver the dung early.When I went out to see it, I couldn't help being stunned: a lot of dung disappeared, and even the ground was swept clean.She ran to her home to have a look, and she understood everything. When Lihua came back from the field, Lao Liang was walking around on the farm dung tray. When he saw her coming, he turned around and walked into the gate.As soon as Lao Liang entered the room, he yelled at his sleeping son: "Get up, slacker, the sun is drying your buttocks." Dabao said stickily, "What's the hurry, let him sleep a little longer." It's all over." "Father, don't lie to others. Her house won't know until the Year of the Monkey is over." Dabao turned over and fell asleep again. "Hey, I've become a genius, and I transported a lot of dung overnight." Lao Liang couldn't wake up his son, so he went to the yard, circling with his hands behind his back, shaking his head while circling, and said, "I'm really a genius... ..." In the east courtyard, Lao Tian was asking his daughter, "Pear blossoms, smell like dung?" "I sent it to the field." "When did you send it?" "Tonight, I didn't see that my eyeballs were all red, and I asked." "You really sent it?" "If it wasn't from me, could it be from you? It's so annoying!" "Old man, stop nagging, let the child rest. My child, I really wronged you..." A few days later, Lihua handed Dabao a note. Dabao opened it in a secluded place, and his heart sank. The note read: Comrade Liang Dabao, thank you for your help, but I don’t need anyone. Pitiful.Sincerely, Salute to the Revolution. Seeing this ultimatum-style thank you letter, Dabao scratched his head and thought, "Call her ruthless, and thank me, say she is sympathetic, and you don't need pity, pear blossom, pear blossom, what exactly do you need?" Cotton was planted in the Tianjia and Liangjia river beaches.When the cotton seedlings grew to the height of an oak, they encountered a drought.There has been no rain for dozens of days, and the cotton leaves are curled up. When the sun shines at noon, they are limp and drooping, looking like they are going to die.In the usual years, they would just let it die, but this year is different, and they will be punished if they don’t get the output.Before the superiors called for drought relief, the girl from the Tian family and the boy from the Liang family carried water baskets down the slope. Peasants are used to getting up early and working while it is cool. Two young people came here before the sun came out.There are a few long clouds in the eastern sky, like a few purple-red silk scarves.After a while, the purple red turned orange red, and the orange red turned golden yellow again.The sun seemed to pop out from below the horizon.The half sky in the east was decorated with colorful colors in an instant.The other half of the sky seemed to have just woken up from the vast night, showing a dark blue like an ocean.White mist rose from the river, rolling forward slowly like a long white dragon, slowly expanding towards the sky.The mist dissipated slowly, and gradually the outline of the river could be seen clearly. Finally, the sun shot out thousands of golden lights, and the mist on the river disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the gurgling water shining. Lihua and Dabao carried water from the river to the cotton field like a shuttle.Carrying water and climbing the embankment is heavy work in the crop field. After a while, Lihua was out of breath.Sweat trickled down his temples, his steps slowed down, and his feet began to stumble when he climbed the slope, making it difficult to drag along the muddy water.Dabao is tall, with slender waist and broad shoulders, carrying two buckets of water as if walking on an empty path, and the small pole danced tremblingly and leisurely on his shoulders, appearing relaxed and rhythmic. Since writing that letter, the girl from the Tian family has never expressed anything to the young man from the Liang family. The young man from the Liang family is uncertain about the situation and dare not act rashly.Half the morning passed, and Dabao and Lihua hadn't spoken a word yet.The nesting bird twittered in mid-air.The little swallow flew past the river like an arrow.There were not many people to be seen in Manpoli.A few white clouds floated lazily in the sky.So lonely!Dabao was so anxious that he scratched his head and passed by Lihua several times, trying to find an excuse to talk, but Lihua always turned his head and didn't look at him.Suddenly, Dabao had an idea and remembered the movie "Liu Sanjie" that he had just watched.A few minutes later he sang in a rough voice: Hey-- The pear wood pole is three feet three, Dabao, I carried water to flood the cotton fields. I'm afraid God is not a man, There is no water in the river. Lihua heard that Dabao was provoking her, and wanted to talk to her but was afraid of being entangled by him, so she pursed her lips and deliberately ignored him. Unwilling to give up, Dabao let go of his voice and sang again. Lihua couldn't help getting angry, and said in her heart: "Well, you are so crazy, big treasure, let me kill you." Like a string of silver bells ringing suddenly, Lihua started to sing. Hey-- The mulberry pole is four feet four, For pear blossoms, I water the dry land. God is afraid of women but not men, If the river water cannot be dried, I will pick it dry. Dabao proudly poked the pole on the ground, put one hand on his hip and sang: Hey-- The pear wood pole is five feet five, Don't brag and don't admit defeat. A mule has never been out of line, Men have always been better than women. "It's too bullying, watch how I scold you!" Lihua thought angrily, and sang casually: How long is your pole? You gave birth to a bear face. You despise women who are blind, You bullied the girl whose surname is Liang. Lihua didn't care about carrying water anymore, and stood on the ground with her hips akimbo, staring at Dabao challengingly.Dabao hangs his head dejectedly, and stammers: "My good sister, don't be angry, I'll sing nonsense to relieve your boredom..." "Xiong Xiang!" Lihua scolded him, and angrily walked down the embankment to fetch water.While climbing a slope, she slipped and rolled into the river with the bucket.Da Baofei also ran over, jumped into the waist-deep river without even taking off his shoes, and dragged Lihua ashore.In the early summer, the girl was wearing thin clothes. The paper-thin clothes were wet and stuck to her body tightly, and the silhouette of the young woman's body was suddenly protruded.Dabao's head thumped and his heart beat wildly. He held Lihua's hand tightly and held his breath. After tens of seconds of stalemate, Lihua suddenly came to her senses.She broke free from Dabao's grasp, raised her arms to protect her chest, and turned around to avoid Dabao's scorching gaze.Feeling insulted, Lihua cried and cursed: "Bastard! Dabao, you big bastard who looks down on women!" After scolding, she walked along the river where no one walked, and went home without looking back.Compared with the girl's self-esteem, the few acres of cotton fields are pitifully insignificant.Dabao was left standing there dumbfounded. Dabao twisted his thigh and cursed: "Dabao, you bastard, just take a peek. Who told you to stare at him without turning your eyes."He poured water into Tianjia's field like atonement, one load after another. After the incident of "Double Song", the relationship between the girl from the Tian family and the boy from the Liang family deteriorated unprecedentedly.When Dabao saw Lihua, he walked around the road like a little mouse seeing a cat.He felt ashamed and embarrassed to make amends.Finally, he came up with an idea. He wrote a painful "repentance letter", dropped it with a small stone, and threw it into the courtyard of Tian's family. Anyway, the old couple of Tian's family could not read a word. The days passed quickly, and it was autumn harvest in a blink of an eye.Picking cotton, cutting the crops, threshing the fields... At the end of October, everything came to an end, and the two families of Tian and Liang were evened out.Lao Tian said to his wife half relieved and half worried: "Mother, if you continue to work like this, the child will be exhausted and ruined. Next year, I would rather save less grain and less cotton than let the child work so hard." "Isn't it? .” My wife also replied worriedly. Old Liang from the west courtyard jumped up and scolded his son at home: "You bastard! What a bastard, a big boy, he even fought a tie with a man. How dare you feel sleepy when you are in the field? I will love you after the New Year, like It's like driving a cow, if you don't work hard, you will be whipped." Lao Liang said harshly, "I don't believe you can't beat Lao Tian's family..." Lihua has lost a lot of weight in the past year, and several layers of skin have faded from her white and tender face.She was worried, so she went to the branch secretary's house to find her friend, Sister Guizhi, to think about it.Guizhi's father works as a cadre, and her younger sister goes to school, and she is responsible for all the work in the field.Gui Zhi said: "My father said that a new batch of walking tractors have been bought in the county, and they only cost more than 800 yuan. This machine works, it can plow the land, pull manure, pump water... With this one, we will be liberated." "Oh, my good sister, why didn't you say it earlier!" "It's useless to say it earlier, you have no money anyway." The two girls were silent, yes, where can I get 800 yuan?After a while, Guizhi smiled and said: "Sister, I have a solution....Really? Tell me." "I said you don't want to hit me." "Why should I hit you? Really." Now—sister, you find a son-in-law, and ask him for 800 yuan..." Before Guizhi could finish speaking, Lihua threw herself on her body, stretched her hands into her armpits, and started scratching, cursing as she scratched. : "Damn thing, I know you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth..." Guizhi rolled on itching and barked: "Ah... ouch... good sister, dear sister, please forgive me..." "Also Do you dare to talk nonsense?" "Don't dare." The two calmed down again to think about their ideas.After a while, Guizhi said again: "Sister, I have another idea." "I won't listen!" "I have a serious idea, but you won't listen." "Then tell me quickly." "You won't listen. "Good sister..." "Sister, let's not play around this winter, let's buy reed woven mats. The supply and marketing cooperatives are open to collect, and my aunt's cousin earns more than 300 yuan a winter alone with the child." Just relying on our sister's quick hands, can't you earn five hundred and six hundred in one winter and one spring?" "Good idea, but it's not enough." "Ask your father, your family sold more than six hundred cotton this year. One piece." "I'm afraid my father won't give it to me." "You won't borrow it from him? Pay it back after autumn." Everything was settled, and the two leaned close to each other, whispering. In the spring of the second year, Lihua and Guizhi went to the commune tractor station to learn driving skills for a month. Soon, they drove two walking tractors back from the county, attracting people from all villages to watch the excitement at the two villages.The one who was most fascinated was Liang Dabao. He circled around Ewha's machine, touching here and poking there, but he couldn't get enough of it.It made Lihua quarrel with him: "What are you touching, what are you touching! Can you afford to pay for it if you touch it?" Dabao smiled foolishly, not at all angry. Old Liang Quan saw the scene where his son was being scolded by the girl from the Tian family. His teeth itch with hatred, and he kept cursing in his heart: "A worthless thing, a shameless thing." He was determined to teach his son a lesson and strengthen it. His manly ambition.When his son came back, Lao Liang greeted him in the yard and said in a loud voice: "Dabao, listen carefully, don't be envious of those crooked ways. I can throw such a grasshopper cart two feet away with two fingers." Can you work with this? Rabbits can drive the shaft, but mules and horses are worth money? Farts can blow fire, but sulfur is still worth money? Or physical strength is the treasure. What kind of tractor? Grasshopper cart? In less than a year, it will be sold in the supply and marketing cooperative for three cents a catty!" The members of Lao Tian's family could hear Lao Liang's insulting words clearly. Lihua curled her lips and sneered, but Lao Tian began to beat her heart, and her daughter "borrowed" five hundred yuan from him. If it was true as Lao Liang said, Even if the five hundred yuan was in vain.He was about to complain for a few days when he saw his daughter and his wife roll their eyes at him.He hurriedly shut his mouth, and said in his heart: "Leave your motherfuckers alone, I'll be free." Lihua was still very tired when she got up in the pigsty in spring, but when it was time to deliver the dung, she would live a fairy life.Lihua is sitting on the tractor, singing a little song, and it will take a trip in a while.Lao Tianxing raised his head and asked his daughter to take him for a ride. When he came back, he happily said to his wife, "Mother, cook some eggs for the child this afternoon." In contrast, Dabao, the man of the Liang family, was disgraced. His head drooped, like a winter melon that had been wilted by frost, and he didn't know where the spirit of last year had gone.He was pushing the cart, and the first trip had just reached the ground, when the second trip of the pear blossoms came again, and when his second trip was halfway, the fourth trip of the pear blossoms caught up again.Lihua was driving the car, deliberately pressing the horn behind Dabao's buttocks, Dabao hurriedly gave way, Lihua gasped hard, the tractor leaped happily, and the black smoke made Dabao cough.Dabao lost his mind, stepped into the rut, sat down on the ground with an "ouch", his ankle was swollen immediately, and he fell down on his stomach when he got home. This time, Lao Liang was in a hurry.This year is the second year of contracting production to households. All the soil and miscellaneous manure of the farmers have been piled up into hills. Lao Liang’s family is full of horses and has accumulated a lot of manure. If you can't plant the seeds, if you can't plant the seeds, you can't hold the seedlings, if you can't hold the seedlings, then... Lao Liang became more and more anxious as he thought about it, like ants on a hot pot. At night, Lihua lay in bed thinking about something.She let out a sigh of relief during the day, but she felt ashamed again.She remembered that Dabao stayed up last night to help deliver dung for her, she remembered that she had taunted him with vicious words, she remembered Dabao's "repentance letter", and she remembered that she bullied Dabao during the day, causing him to sprain his feet... Lihua My heart was sour, and tears almost flowed out.She made up her mind to deliver dung to Dabao's house first in the morning, and if her father disagreed, she would play childish temper with him: crying, not eating, rolling on the kang... The next morning, Lao Tian walked into the courtyard of Lao Liang's house and said casually, "Old brother, my daughter asked me to tell you that I will deliver dung to your house first." It took Lao Liang a long time to recover, He kept saying: "It's good to be brave, it's good to be brave." Lao Tian asked calmly, "But the grasshopper cart?" "I won't change it for a big horse!" Lao Liang replied easily. "Three cents a catty?" "Three cents are not for sale!" "Hee hee..." "Hey hee..." After laughing, both of them felt very satisfied and happy.Of course Lao Tian was happier, as if he had won a big victory. It's the end of another year.Not only did Tian’s tractor sell broken iron for three cents a catty, but it spent hundreds of yuan to buy iron plows, iron harrows, and iron seeders, which basically realized mechanization.The Tian family had a chance to draw water from the river to irrigate the field during the drought, filling the field to its full.When Lihua finished her father's work and helped the Liang family irrigate the fields, the Liang family's crops and cotton seedlings were almost dead.Therefore, the Tian family harvested more grain and picked up more cotton than the Liang family, which made Lao Liang very angry.When his son went out in the evening, Lao Liang spoke angrily to his deaf wife: "Boss Tian's daughter is an elf, and she can do nothing worse than a man. I am convinced of this; but there is one other thing that old Tian will definitely lose to me. No matter how good the daughter is." You can’t be named Tian even after giving birth to a child!” His wife was hard of hearing and couldn’t hear clearly, so Lao Liang repeated it loudly.As soon as my wife heard what Lao Liang said, she immediately said mysteriously: "Old man, don't talk nonsense, you know? The flower from Tian's family is exactly like this treasure from our family." Lao Liang was shocked and asked: "Really? "What are you screaming about? Are you blind? You can't see that these two people go out every day biting their tails, either watching movies or watching TV." Lao Liang was so excited that his beards were all pricked, and he thought to himself: "Old Tian, ​​Lao Tian , your daughter is going to inherit the old Liang family's lineage, and now you will lose a lot of money!" He felt unspeakably happy. As the saying goes, "a wall has ears", Lao Tian's crazy words somehow became known to Lao Tian's family, and the relationship between the two families suddenly became tense. Movies, TV.The eldest son of the Liang family moaned and sighed all day long as if he had lost his soul. Liang Chengquan was puzzled at first, but later, he tasted it slowly and found something interesting.Oh, little bastard, it's probably because of a "fault" in love (this new term was translated to Liang's family after Tian's family bought a tractor), or why can't I hear Tian's girl calling her son to see it with a sweet voice? What about the movie?Lao Liang vaguely felt that this "fault" had something to do with him, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. A few days later, a shocking news spread in the village: the Tian family girl is going to recruit a husband!In addition to the formal conditions, there are two additional conditions: one is that the man must marry the woman, and the other is that the child's surname is Tian. This year, Lihua was not tired, and her chubby face was not tanned.The family had a lot of money, and Lao Tian was extra merciful and gave his daughter some free control.Girls are not greedy, and keep making clothes.Pear blossom cut red and cut green, Qingdao Shanghai, bought several sets from head to toe. "A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle." Lihua put on purple-red half-high-heeled leather shoes, small coffee-colored trousers, a knitted top trimmed with gold and silver threads, an apple-green silk scarf around her neck, and pulled her hair with an electric comb. A few big rolls, hey!It is really a water spirit like a pink lotus flower.On market days, she wandered around the market, the sellers forgot to look at the stalls, and those who went to the market forgot to look at the road.As soon as the news of Tian's family recruiting a son-in-law spread, despite the harsh conditions, the proposers slipped away. Lao Liang burned the monkey's butt on fire, and he really couldn't sit still.Knowing that he had made a big mistake, he hurriedly called his son to him, and said apologetically, "Bao'er, I'm sorry, you can go to your Uncle Tian's house...Really, the surname Tian is Tian. Well, the child is split between father and mother, why does the surname have to be Liang?" Listening to his tone, it seemed that the girl from the Tian family had become his daughter-in-law without a doubt.Dabao was dejected and silent.Lao Liang was so angry that he slapped his knees and stood up, shouting at his son: "Little bastard who doesn't grow up! Can my surname be eaten? Can she be dressed? Can my surname be a daughter-in-law?" Dabao said dumbfoundingly: "Father, which family are you angry with? I want to go a hundred times. Do you know if they want it?" When Liang Chengquan heard his son's miserable words, he also lowered his head in frustration. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Son, you can think for yourself. Anyway, I agree with the two conditions. Hurry up, hurry up sooner rather than later." After a few days of turmoil about the Tian family's son-in-law, the situation calmed down. Dabao didn't see much at night again, and Lao Liang gradually relieved his heart.One night, there was a movie in the village, but my wife was deaf and blind, and wanted to watch the fun.Old Liang Xing came up, and followed behind for a walk.When he got there, he saw some women dancing with bare backs, and he spit angrily and went home.The door was open, and there were two people talking in the yard, and he hurriedly listened with bated breath. "Both my father and mother have gone to the movies. They are so old and still have this spirit." Dabao said. "Old and young." This is Pear Blossom.She giggled for a while, and then asked, "Hey, does your father really agree with you coming to my house?" "agree." "Agree that the child's surname is Tian?" "My father said, as long as you want, let me also have your surname Tian." "Ouch, you're so useless..." Liang Chengquan fixed his eyes and saw two black shadows leaning together.With a fever on his face, he retreated in a panic, cursing in his heart as he walked, "Little brat, when did I let your surname be Tian?"
