Gao Minglou left the commune for a strike, and walked back alone on the simple road—his bicycle was pushed to the school by his second boy, Sanxing.He took the initiative to let his son push the car.When my son becomes a teacher, he must be decent in all aspects, and he can't do without a car!The head of Gaojia Village is in his early fifties, but he walks in good spirits.He was wearing an old blue khaki uniform, which was already gray; under the brim of the single cloth hat, he had a red face with piercing eyes. Minglou was walking on the road at the moment, not in a good mood.This time the commune held a meeting to implement the production responsibility system.It seems that the situation is a bit compelling.Many nearby villages already have joint production to work.Secretary Zhao of the commune repeatedly asked the secretary of the brigade to emancipate his mind, and those who can join production to households and work to labor should implement it as soon as possible.

"The nouns are different, but it's not just doing it alone?" Gao Minglou thought dissatisfiedly.In fact, he himself knows that the current new policy can indeed harvest more grain and make more money, especially in mountainous areas, where most farmers support it. He is dissatisfied with this policy mainly from his own considerations.In the past, when the whole village was together, he would not go out of the mountains all day, and would spend all day "doing work" at home, earning a full-time work point a day, which was equivalent to being a full-time cadre.He has the right to control everything from money and food to big and small matters in the team.Over the years, who in the village didn't respect him or fear him?If they were divided into one family and each lived their own life, who would pee on his Gaoming Building again!He has been a teacher for many years, once he loses power, it will be really unpleasant to him.What made him even more troublesome was that he had to grow the land he was given!He will have to toil in the land all day like everyone else.He has not worked for many years, how can he suffer this crime all of a sudden?

He feels small in the face of the powerful tide of social change.His brilliant buildings can't stop the trend of society.But he thought, if you can procrastinate, you can procrastinate. If it's too late, at least this year will be inseparable! He was thinking all the way, and before he knew it, he was almost at the village. "Minglou, you're back?" Gao Minglou heard someone greet him from the hillside beside the road. He looked up and saw that it was the old man Deshun.Although Deshun was six or seven years younger than his dead father, the two had a good relationship when they were young, and he always asked the old man to grow up.Although he is the leader of the village, he is very tactful in his appearance and sophistication, so he often shows respect to the old man in Deshun.

"Grandma, the crops in your private plot this year are not bad! You can harvest a lot of grain!" He stood down and said casually to the old man in Deshun above. "Give me a little more land, and I can get more food! Minglou, the villages next to his house are all being opened up, why is there no movement in our village? These people have been messing around for so many years, and they are all playing bastards. One coaxes the other, and now even though they are divided into two groups, it is actually almost the same as no division!" "Don't worry about being big! How many years have we been working together as a group, can we be divided into a clean hair dry at once? These two days Are you almost done digging through the wheat fields?" Ming Lou changed the subject and asked the old man.The old man in Deshun put down the hoe and came down with the pipe; the old bachelor probably didn't want to make any suggestions to the secretary.He is always like this, like meddling in other people's business, and often gives instructions to Gan'er on giving birth.Generally speaking, Minglou still listens to him—he has been a farmer all his life, and he can say anything.

Now that Minglou saw the old man coming down the slope, he knew that he was about to give him some advice, so he had to wait impatiently for him to chatter for a while. He smoked a cigarette for the old man in Deshun, and the two fell to the side of the road. The old man in Deshun was smoking a cigarette on Minglou's lighter, and said, "Minglou, the wheat fields are all overturned now, and it will soon be white dew. How can we grow wheat with just a little chemical fertilizer? At this time in the past, we have to go to the city to pull some grass. Shit, why didn't you catch this this year?"

Minglou shook his head: "In previous years, a team would do what they wanted to do, and they would arrange it together. This year, they are divided into two groups. You are better than the other, so what's the matter? Besides, both groups still have fields that haven't been hoeed twice. , I'm afraid I won't be able to pull out my hands." "What's so difficult about it? Let's save two people these days! Two combinations can be used together, and both can be used when pulled back?" Minglou thought about it for a while and said, "That's fine too. Just like in previous years, you pick up the materials for this matter. First put on two rack carts, and you will go to Qiancun with two people first, and then let Houcun Qiaozhen go to the city. I use the empty kiln at her aunt’s house to cook a meal for you at night. After a few days, when the work in the field subsides, I will set up a few more rack carts, and the two teams will go to more people. Do you think this will work?” "Okay, I'll go! Ask Jialin to go to Qiancun first. This period of hardship in the team, the baby is not used to it, so I want to rest for a few days; pulling dung is always lighter."

Mentioning Jialin, Minglou blushed a little, and quickly agreed with the old man Deshun's arrangement with a "hmmm". Seeing that his "suggestion" was adopted by Qian'er, the old man stood up and went to hoe the ground again.Minglou also threw away the handle of the cigarette, Sisimoumou got up and walked back. The old man in Deshun just mentioned Jialin, so he couldn't help but think of this young man from the village who was driven back to the production team by him.Gao Minglou watched Jialin grow up.When he was a child, he had a stubborn temper, a tough temper, and a smart person.After Zhuangqian Village, he appeared to be stronger than other dolls of his age.Gao Minglou was very interested in this doll at that time.When Jialin went to school in the city, he often loved to visit Jialin's house every Saturday when he came back.Although he is a common man, he still likes to care about some major international affairs. Galin just happens to know a lot about this area, and he often tells him about this country and that country, so he doesn't go home after listening to Gao Minglou.He often sighed in his heart: Gao Yude's life is good!I have no ability to die all my life, but I can give birth to a strong son!His own two sons were too mediocre.The eldest went to school for two years, but he was so stupid that he couldn't get in. He was always in the first grade, and finally had to come back and become a farmer.Not for his prestige in the village, how could Liu Liben give Qiaoying to his son?Samsung didn't mean that he used the things in the team to curry favor with several ministries in the commune and county, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to go to junior high school.It is not based on grades, but those two years are recommended.Finally finished high school now.After his second son graduated from high school, he really worried.The work next to him is not good at a glance-now it is difficult to enter the public house!He was determined to seek a position as a private teacher for his son; he absolutely did not want both sons to be farmers.There was a teacher's son who was decent outside the door.Besides, Samsung has never had a hard time, he can't bear the labor, otherwise he will become a dead bastard!He originally wanted to have the best of both worlds, and discussed with Ma Zhansheng, the commune's education chief, to see if he could be a teacher in the next village, called Sanxingshang;He has compassion.He had thought about it, regardless of the dozens of families in the village, he was not afraid of anyone, but he felt that although Jia Lin was small, he could be hard-hearted and strong. If not done well, he might become his enemy in the future and make him unhappy for the rest of his life!Besides, he is old, and Jialin is still young. He can't help himself now, but if he gains power in the future, his children and grandchildren will vent their anger!His two sons were obviously no match for Jialin!So he wanted to piss off this young man, and tried to avoid Jialin's teacher as much as possible.

But Ma Zhansheng immediately laughed at him for thinking too beautifully!Yes, which village is willing to give up the position to their village?In this way, he had no choice but to ruthlessly dismiss Jialin's teacher and let Samsung go.But since then, this matter has always been a problem for him.Even though Gao Yude's old couple had flattered him more before, Gao Jialin obviously hated him. Jialin had just started working, and he heard that the blood on his hands had stained the handle of the shovel red. Said to make the hands worse!After hearing this, he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.I thought to myself: Oh my god, this kid is heartbroken!From this incident, he could see that Jia Lin was not a loose guy.So his heart disease became more and more serious.

The reason why Gao Minglou ruled Gaojia Village for many years shows that he is not a simple person.He is scheming and calculating, and his thinking is much more detour than that of ordinary farmers. Gao Minglou walked all the way with his head bowed, thinking about this matter, and felt that there was no good way to calm his mind. He walked to the fork in the Dama River bend, raised his head to take a picture of the village, and suddenly saw his in-law Liu Libengecu smoking a cigarette under an old jujube tree.He thought to himself: I probably bought another cheap horse in Inner Mongolia, waiting to give it to him!

After Liu Liben had dinner at his in-laws' house, he went to Minglou and waited here. The embarrassing things his daughter did to him made him feel a few inches shorter.Now he wants Minglou to clean up Jialin first and suppress this in advance.Then I have to find someone for Qiaozhen right away.If you can get married this year, you can get married, and you can't delay it until next year at the latest.When a girl grows up, if she doesn't look for someone, she will have an accident if she says something happens!He also wanted Minglou to come forward and persuade Qiaozhen to marry Ma Shuan from the horse shop.He is the secretary, so he has a lot of face!

Gao Minglou walked under the jujube tree, and naturally squatted opposite Li Ben.The two parents gave up some cigarettes first.Minglou thinks cigarettes are too hard, and Liben thinks cigarettes are boring.Two people had to suck their own. "How? Did you buy some cheap stuff again? How much can you earn?" Minglou asked his businessman's in-laws. "Get money to hit the ball!" Li Ben shouted rudely, turning his head in frustration. "It's the first time I've heard that you don't take money seriously." Minglou had a sarcastic smile on his face, and at the same time, he didn't know what his in-laws were unhappy about.Seeing his angry face, he asked, "What's wrong with you? You've made money this year and your pockets are bursting. Are you still not satisfied? Now this policy is your good policy!" He asked He couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile. "Okay, don't mock me anymore. I'm pouring oil on my face now!" Liu Liben spread his arms towards his in-laws, with a crying look on his face. Gao Minglou became serious when he saw him like this, and said, "I don't know who you are crying for after crying for a long time! Tell me what happened to you!" Liu Liben threw the half of the cigarette he was smoking on the grass next to him, and said sadly, "Qiaozhen has done something embarrassing to me!" "Such a good doll, what happened?" Gao Minglou asked in surprise. "Oh, it's really hard to mention! Gao Yude's wicked son seduced me, Qiaozhen, and ran wildly outside in the dark, causing the whole village to be full of ups and downs. You see, I'm living a life like this now! "Liu Liben swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hooked his head upside down in discomfort.Gao Minglou laughed all of a sudden: "Haha, I thought it was something! Isn't it just the two of them falling in love?" I'm so ashamed!" Liu Liben raised his head and roared angrily. Gao Minglou wiped away the saliva splashed on Liu Liben's face, and said, "Liben, you travel around the state and counties all day to do business, why are you so old-fashioned in your thinking? You have never eaten pork, and you haven't even heard a pig humming. Have you ever seen young people like we used to? You haven’t seen many of them! I visited Dazhai a few years ago. I passed by Xi’an and Taiyuan, and I saw young men and women in the city. Walking with arms crossed in front of people! At first I thought it was uncivilized, but after I got used to it, I realized that people are civilized..." Liu Liben was angry and disappointed when he heard what his in-laws said.Originally, he wanted to ask Minglou to teach Gao Jialin a lesson, but Minglou unexpectedly taught him.His lips trembled and he said, "What kind of thing is Jialin? He can't be good at writing or martial arts. He is ruining my Qiaozhen!" Gao Minglou stared at him, "I'm afraid Jialin won't look down on Qiaozhen! As long as others look at her You can’t even come here, and you still say that people ruined your daughter!” "What's the future for Jialin? He doesn't know how to work and doesn't know how to do business. The future will be very bad!" "A high school student is a fart! Don't you want to poke a cow's butt?" Liu Liben curled his lips contemptuously, and added: "You can't even poke a cow's butt!" Gao Minglou moved to Liben's side, and began to persuade his in-laws: "Good Liben, your vision is too short-sighted. You can't underestimate Jialin at all. I didn't say that, in this river, and A young man who is as old as he is, but there are not many on top of him. He can write, draw, sing, and draw. He has a tough temper, a clever mind, and a manly spirit! Don't look at me and call him a "powerful man". , "Two capable people", he will be the real capable person in the village in the future! Why can't he learn? If he is willing to do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with him on a horse! Now I have dismissed his teacher. The reason is It’s called Three Stars. This matter is clearly stated, and I’m a bit strong. If I have free time in the future, I will find him a job! If he and Qiaozhen get married, won’t they become relatives with me?” Liu Liben said to He didn't take what he said at all.He snorted and said, "Look at Gao Yude's family? The walls are crumbling and the courtyard is ruined. There is no money in the house! Gao Yude is dead and useless, what can Jialin do?" "Ha! Where did the valuables come from? Didn't people earn them? As long as they can stand, there will be anything! As for whether Gao Yude is capable or not, it doesn't matter. Qiaozhen is looking for a son-in-law. Not really Xun Gonggong! Don’t look at the family, he is poor now, Jialin can build a family! What were you and I like back then? In the old society, didn’t your old man and my old man work long-term jobs for the landlord Liu Zhang?” Liu Liben was still not convinced by his in-laws' eloquence. Instead, he stood up and said angrily, "Don't pour me clear rice soup! I have eyes! Could it be that I can't see the future of Gao Yude's family clearly? His I can't bear to see you, a worthless son! You can talk about face! Qiaozhen is my daughter, I can't put her in a black puddle!" "You can't look down on it, but Qiaozhen can! Look at you Is there any way!" Gao Minglou also stood up, feeling that his in-laws were already a little ridiculous. "I can't help it? I'll break the legs of his offspring!" "Huh? See if you can do it!... Good family, you are so angry, I can't convince you. But you can also Don’t be too pushy! This is free love now, and marriage is protected by the law! As long as the children agree, let alone the mother and father, even the king of heaven and father can’t control it! You dare to make a move, be careful of the law of the police station!” Gao Ming After all, Lou is the secretary of the brigade, and he understands legal policy, so he immediately took out this weapon to warn his in-laws.Liu Liben was indeed taken aback by his words.He was stunned for a long time, then slapped himself hard on the head, turned around and left Minglou, and strode away alone.For the first time today, the two parents did not talk together! Gao Minglou slowly walked home behind him.He thought to himself: Liu Liben is good at doing business, but he is really not shrewd in other aspects. According to Minglou's idea, it is best for Qiaozhen to marry Jialin.On the one hand, he felt that it would be great for Qiaozhen to find such a son-in-law; Powerful.In this way, Jialin and he became relatives, so he was ashamed to hate him because he was dismissed as a teacher.Originally, Gao Minglou was a little happy when he heard Liben say this - along the way he was planning how to quell Jialin's hatred of him!Now that his in-laws are so resolutely opposed to this matter, he can't figure out how it will end.
