After Jialin and Master Deshun filled the truck full of dung, the old man was already a little weak; he drank a lot of wine and walked unsteadily.Jialin forcefully sent the old man to the kiln where Qiaozhen cooked, and let him sit on the top of the hot kang to rest; he pulled another cart by himself to dig out the dung.He pulled the car, trying not to walk on the street, and try not to walk in brightly lit places.Although it was already night and there were hardly any people in the street, he was still nervously on guard, for fear of running into acquaintances and classmates. He pulled the rack cart and traveled between some scattered agencies and units at the north end of the street.This last season, many people from the countryside came to the city to collect excrement; sometimes in the toilet of a unit, there was not a load of excrement on the bottom of the latrine.He has already gone several units, and the large excrement bucket of the shelf truck is not half full.

In front is the county radio station.He stood hesitantly in a shadow on the corner of the street.He thought of his classmate Huang Yaping.He stood for a while, then decided not to go to the toilet of the broadcasting station to dig out excrement. He detoured far away and walked towards the station - there were a lot of people passing by there, maybe there would be more excrement in the toilet.As he walked on the dimly lit street, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: the changes in life are really like spring, summer, autumn and winter, one cold and one hot, the difference is huge!Three years ago, on a night like this, he was either studying in a bright and warm classroom, or he was talking and laughing with his classmates as he walked to school among the crowd at the end of the movie theater.Or, wearing bright red sportswear, galloping gracefully on the illuminated basketball court of the county stadium, participating in basketball games, and listening to the endless cheers...

Now, he is pulling the dung bucket, hiding here and there, sneaking around, like a nocturnal ghost.He couldn't help turning his head, and glanced at the radio station with flashing lights.What is Huang Yaping doing now?read?watch TV?drink tea? He soon felt a little ridiculous.What are you thinking about now that you are like this?He should hurry up and fill up the dung truck now.Yes, people worry about what they do!His current mind is mainly on digging out dung.If there is no excrement in any toilet, he will be immediately disappointed; if there is more excrement in the toilet, he will be so happy that he can't help laughing!Because Grandpa Deshun is like this, he infected him, and gradually made his psychology consciously become like this.Labor, it is hard, but it also has its own joy!

Gao Jialin put the excrement truck outside the station gate, and then went in to see if there was any excrement in the toilet.He looked in front of the toilet and was as happy as if he had found gold: there was so much excrement in the toilet that several carts could not finish it! When he turned to the back of the toilet, he suddenly became unhappy again: the production team somewhere had already made a door behind the latrine and locked it. Gao Jialin thought angrily: Someone is taking all the excrement and urine!Damn it, I'm going to "anti-tyrant" today!Gao Jialin's bad temper is the easiest to provoke when encountering such things.He picked up a piece of stone, and instead of breaking the lock, he pried the iron clasp from under the lock and opened the door.He took the dung load and the dung scoop off the car, and started scooping up dung in the latrine pit of the station toilet.

He had just loaded a load of dung into the dung bucket on the rack cart, and was about to carry the second load when suddenly two strong young men also came to pull the dung.They wore the same color of Dacron trousers, and their red vests had two yellow characters "Pioneer" printed on them. Jialin knew that this was a member of the Chengguan "Vanguard" team.This team is a vegetable team, Fufu is famous in the whole county.Seeing that Jialin was carrying dung, the two young men angrily put down the cart and came over. "Why did you steal our dung?" One of them had already blocked Galin's way.

"Is the dung yours?" Galin asked disapprovingly. "Of course it's ours!" another shouted nearby. "How could it be yours? This is a public toilet, and it's not your team who pissed!" "Fart your mother!" The young man in front had already opened his mouth. "Keep your mouth clean! Who are you scolding?" Galin's muscles tensed. "I'm scolding you! Do you know, brat? For this bit of dung, we provide food to the cadres at the station all year round, without asking for a penny! Why do you steal?" he shouted. "Put down two yuan! Pay for the lock!" said the man in front with his hands on his hips.

"Losing money?" Jialin turned his head, "I still have to bear it! You dung bullies!" As he spoke, he carried the dung load and walked forward.Both men clenched their fists.The one in front had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and punched Gao Jialin in the chest.With fire in his eyes, Jialin put the dung load on the ground and pulled up the dung ladle.Just cut it off to the younger generation!The person in front jumped and dodged, and the person behind also started to fuck in an instant.So the three manure collectors fought in the station parking lot; the long-handled manure scoops flew in the air, and the manure ideas splashed all three of them.The misty moonlight quietly illuminates this tumultuous scene.A young man's feet were numb from Galin's dung spoon, and he squatted down with a cry; while another man blew a dung spoon on Galin's back.

It was not until the people at the station ran out that they pulled the shelf away.The bald-headed station master persuaded both parties for a long time, telling Jialin not to pull it; he said that the station had signed a "contract" with the vanguard team, and they could only pull the shit.Jialin cursed in his heart: "You still have the face to say 'contract'! You're going to trade your stinky toilet for nothing! He thinks that if he has to carry this dung again, there will be a fight. There are two of them, and he is alone. Besides, they were close to the team, so it would be strange if they couldn’t beat him to death if they called in a group of people! So he had no choice but to put the dung load on the cart, pull up the trolley and leave the station.

There are only non-staple food companies left nearby.He originally mainly considered that his other classmate Zhang Kenan was working there, so he didn't go. Now he suddenly remembered, didn't Keran have been transferred to work in the non-staple food store?He quickly decided to go to the toilet of the non-staple food company to take another look. As he was pulling the cart, he could smell the stench all over his body; his clothes and hair were splattered with excrement.The place where a dung spoon was cut on the back was burning with pain.He doesn't care about these; he just wants to fill up the dung in the car as soon as possible, so that he can go back to the village as soon as possible——

Master Deshun and Qiaozhen must have been waiting impatiently. He put the rack cart at the gate of the non-staple food company, and went in to see if there was any feces in the toilet.He had never been here before, and it took him a long time to find the toilet.He looked at it, and there was not much manure, and it was very thin, but it could still fill his manure bucket.But there is only one inconvenience: the road from the toilet to the gate is not very good, and several places are very narrow, and the excrement truck cannot be pulled next to the toilet. So he decided to take out the loads one by one; the loads were poured into the dung bucket on the car.Gao Jialin hurriedly unloaded the dung load from the car, and took out the first load of dung in the toilet behind.When working in the yard of the non-staple food company, a few people sitting under a paulownia tree in the southeast corner of the yard smacked their mouths and groaned, obviously thinking that the smell disturbed their yard to enjoy the shade.Gao Jialin himself felt sorry.But this is impossible.In his heart, he hoped that these cadres would forgive him.The second time he took out the dung, the situation was still the same.But he still bite the bullet and bear.When the burden came out for the third time, a woman came out.The voice was very loud, and it was deliberately said to him: "Don't worry about it later, don't worry about it sooner, but at this time, it stinks!" Gao Jialin couldn't help but stop when he heard the harsh words.But he thought that the dung bucket on the car would be full in one or two more times, so bear with it, fill it up as soon as possible and leave.

When he finished filling the load of dung and went into the yard with an empty load, the woman stood up and shouted to him: "Dung bearer! You stink to death! Go to other places to bear shit, don't bully people here!" Gao Jialin stood in the yard all of a sudden, his hands were shaking with anger, and his teeth were clenched. lips: She was obviously bullying, but she even bit back and said he was bullying. Anger rose from his heart, but he suppressed it again.He had already had a fight with others just now, and he didn't want to have any more conflicts and entanglements; moreover, the dung bucket on the car could be filled with one or two more loads, bear with it, and the task tonight was completed.So he went to bear the dung again. When the burden came out this time, the woman stood up again, angrier, her voice became rougher, and her words became even harsher: "Your ears are broken? I told you again and you didn't listen. Here, I hate dead people!" An older cadre next to her said: "Don't waste your time talking, tell the bearer to go; after the bearer is finished, it won't stink!" "These country bumpkins are disgusting!" the woman cursed again. Gao Jialin couldn't bear it now!He had a sore nose and thought in his heart: the villagers are so angry!After a year of hard work, the sun was carried from the east mountain to the west mountain, the grain was harvested, dried and winnowed, and the best ones were sent to the city for these people to eat.They ate, pissed and peed as soon as their buttocks poked out, and the country people came to clean them up and clean up for them, and they still bullied the country people like this! He felt a violent resentment against the woman. He immediately put a load of dung in the courtyard of the non-staple food company, and walked under the paulownia tree with three breaths in his nose and mouth.He wanted to argue with that wanton woman.When he was about to walk up to those people, the woman stood up first, not knowing what this stunned young man was going to do.Several veteran cadres beside him also stood up nervously.Gao Jialin suddenly stopped in his tracks, and immediately felt panicked: Oh my God, this woman turned out to be Zhang Kenan's mother! He was more than ten steps away from her, and he clearly recognized her.He didn't know what to do all of a sudden, the front was not good, the back was not good, and he picked up his fingers with both hands in a panic.Anyway, he can't argue with his mother!This is so embarrassing!He thought: What should I do?Apologize to her?But he didn't mess with her!How about saying "I'm sorry"?When he was in a dilemma, Kenan's mother pointed at him and asked, "Where did you come from? You don't even look at the shit, and you just use this time to make people! What are you doing here? What do you want to do?" Eat someone?" She obviously couldn't remember who he was.Yes, he is now dressed in tatters and covered in feces; his face is no longer as white as when he was a student, but has become rough and rough, and he has become an out-and-out farmer.He had only been to Kernan's house two or three times before, how could she remember him?Since this was the case, Gao Jialin didn't want to be polite.But out of respect for his old classmate's mother, he still tried to explain in a calm tone: "Don't be angry, I will be finished soon. There is no way. We went to the city at night to pull shit, and we also considered that the agency would work during the day. Hygienic; I never thought you would enjoy the shade in the courtyard at night..." The cadres next to me said: "Forget it, forget it, fill it up and take it away..." But Kenan's mother still said angrily: "Go far away ! A whole body of dung! It stinks!" Galin was suddenly annoyed.He said viciously to his old classmate's mother: "I'm not very clean, but I smell a bad smell on you too!" Kernan's mother was so angry that her face was trembling all of a sudden, and she was about to come over and pull him; fortunately, the people next to her blocked her and told Jialin to stop making trouble and go pull his shit. Gao Jialin turned around, went to pick up the load of manure, held back his tears, and walked out the gate of the non-staple food company.He poured the dung into the dung bin on the car, and even though there were still two loads to fill it, he didn't bother to carry it, and he pulled up the cart and left. He pulled the shelf car and turned to the road leading to the street, his nose felt sore again and again.The city's cannon light has gradually become thinner, and most of the buildings are hidden in the darkness.Only the lights of the hydrological station on the other side of the river were still on, casting a long orange-red light on the surface of the water. With the sparkling light, it looked like clusters of flames burning in the water.Gao Jialin's heart was also burning with flames.He pulled the dung truck to the side of the road and stopped, with tears in his eyes, looking at the quiet city, and said in his heart: I must come here!I am educated and knowledgeable. In what way am I worse than the young people living here?Why should I suffer such humiliation? At this time, he looked at the red lights below the hydrological station on the river, and felt that the scenery was very spectacular.The blood all over his body boiled up, and he threw down the dung cart and rushed there.When approaching the river, he walked through a large vegetable field.He knew it belonged to the Vanguard.Thinking of the brawl at the station just now, his nose and mouth were steaming hot, and he ran over to pick a bunch of tomatoes as if to retaliate. He came to a well-lit pool by the river, first threw an armful of tomatoes into the water, and then jumped into it himself. Holding his breath in the water, he tried his best to sink himself; then he slowly floated up to the surface of the water.He swam for a while, picked up the tomatoes one by one from the water, washed them, and threw them on the bank.He himself climbed up with his dripping clothes, sat down, grabbed a tomato, and ate it voraciously... Gao Jialin tossed around midnight before returning to the village with the old man Deshun and Qiaozhen pulling two carts of manure.Qiaozhen went home first.He and the old man Deshun poured the dung into the cesspit in front of the village and covered it with soil.The old man Deshun went to manage the livestock alone.He returned home with a displeased heart.His father was snoring on the front kang; his mother got up and asked him why he came back at such a time.He didn't answer, looking in the trunk for dry clothes.His mother fumbled, took out a letter from the sewing basket at the back of the kang, and handed it to him, saying, "Your second dad is here. You read it first, I'll sleep, and I'll read it to us tomorrow morning..." After finishing speaking, she lay down. I went to sleep. Gao Jialin didn't change his clothes yet, he quickly opened the letter, leaned in front of the kerosene lamp and read—— Brother and sister-in-law: Hello!I want to tell you a good thing: the organization has agreed to my request and let me transfer to work in our area.Now I heard from a letter from the local government that it has initially decided to arrange for me to be the director of labor in the regional agency.
