The old man Yude was furious, and the leader of the smoke pot pointed at Li Ben's head wearing a white melon shell cap, and shouted, "If you dare to touch me, Jialin, I will split your head off!" Li Ben hurriedly backed away. One step, and then simply folded his arms and left this place. While walking, he turned his head and said, "I'm not done with you! Let's wait and see! I don't believe there is no way to cure you and your son! It's really nothing in the world!"

At noon, in Jialin's kiln.Jialin's mother was cooking, Jialin's father was cleaning the old hoe, and Jialin was lying on the kang reading a book. Jialin's mother: "Hey my baby, you must not make trouble..." Yude: "I gave up my heart early! How can we climb up to others in this situation!" Jialin sat up and said, "Who is the one who climbs? You are worthless all your life! Don't worry about my affairs, let me decide!"

Isn't it just the two of them falling in love?"

Li Ben yelled angrily, "Love shit! You don't even have a matchmaker, and Hei Tian fools around outside in the middle of the night, embarrassing our ancestors to death!" Ming Lou wiped off Li Ben's saliva splashed on his face with his fingers, and said, "You travel around the state and counties all day to do business, why are you still so old-fashioned in your thinking? Are young people today still like us in the past? Haven't you seen that?" There are a lot of them! I visited Dazhai a few years ago when I was born. I passed by Xi’an and Taiyuan, and I saw men and women walking with their arms wrapped around their arms..." Li Ben: "What is Jialin? Spoil my Qiaozhen!" Minglou glared, "I'm afraid Jialin won't look down on Qiaozhen! As long as they look down on Qiaozhen, you can't come here, and they say they spoiled your daughter!"

Li Ben: "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 a mess!" Minglou: "I'm a high school student, and you are a girl who can't read big characters!" Li Ben: "A high school student is the best! Don't you want to poke a cow's butt?" He curled his lips contemptuously, and added: "I can't even poke a cow's butt!" Ming Lou: "Well Liben, you don't dare to underestimate Jialin. I didn't say that, in this river, there are not many young people as old as him! He wants to be educated, and he wants to be educated. Wu Youwu, tough-tempered, scheming, and masculine! Don’t look at you and me who call him a capable man or a capable man, but he is the real capable man in the village tank in the future!... To tell you the truth, I heard this very well. I'm happy... If he and Qiaozhen get married, wouldn't they be related to me too?" Li Benyi jumped off the grinding pan and said angrily, "Stop filling me with clear rice soup! Can you tell me everything?" It's just for face! Qiaozhen is my daughter, I can't put her in a black puddle! I can't look down on Gao Yude's useless son!"

Minglou: "You can't stand it, but Qiaozhen can. Let's see what else you can do!" Li Ben: "I can't help it? I'll beat the legs of my son-in-law!" Minglou: "Be careful of the police rope!" During the day, by the well platform.Galin was about to ladle water into the bucket, but looked at the dirty well, sighed, and threw the ladle aside.He stood up and couldn't help but look towards the bank of Qiaozhen's house. He saw Qiaozhen turn around from behind the tree. Come to Qiaozhen's house.Qiaozhen looked at Jialin with a smile, and raised her head towards her house, meaning to ask Jialin to look up.Jialin looked up to the bank of Qiaozhen's house.

On the well platform.Galin was immediately angry and annoyed.He deliberately let go of his voice and shouted at Qiaozhen: "Qiaozhen, come down! I have something to tell you!" Enter Qiaozhen's house.When Qiaozhen heard Jialin calling him, she was so startled that she subconsciously turned her head and looked up to the side of her house. She saw her father still hoeing. She turned quickly down the path. By the well platform.Qiaozhen picked her fingers uneasily, and asked Jialin in a low voice: "Brother Jialing, what's the matter? Someone in the village is watching us, my dad..."

Jialin: "Don't be afraid! Tell them to watch it! We didn't do anything bad... Did your father beat you?" Qiaozhen smiled and bit her lip with tears in her eyes. She said embarrassingly again: "I didn't hit... I cursed a few words." Jialin: "If he wants to use force against you again, I won't be polite to him!" Qiaozhen: "Don't be angry. My dad has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. He doesn't dare to do anything to me. Don't be angry. Our family matters...why don't you scoop water?" Jialin looked at the well: "It's as dirty as a latrine... Qiaozhen, let's go to the city to buy some bleach..." Qiaozhen: "I'll go with you too? Go together?"

Jialin: "Go together! Do you dare?" Qiaozhen: "Dare! I'll go back and push the cart... See how dirty your clothes are! You take them off and I'll wash them for you tomorrow..." Galin happily said something rude: "What a good wife!" Qiaozhen pursed her lips affectionately, blew mischievously on Jialin's face, and said, "It's so ugly..." On the road out of the village.Jialin pushed the bicycle, and Qiaozhen followed him.Both are wearing new clothes. There was an uproar in the village about this. There were people standing by the banks of some houses;

On the way to the village.Jialin and Qiaozhen walk together intimately. A group of bare-bottomed children laughed and laughed far behind them, throwing small dirt lumps at them.on the hill.Farmers who were hoeing the land came to the bank one after another to see the two "foreigners". Different expressions appeared on each person's face. The old man Yude didn't know what was going on, so he also came to see it. Everyone immediately laughed at him. The old man Yude turned around in embarrassment and got into the crop field. on the road.Jialin was riding the bike, and Qiaozhen sat on the back seat.

In the bean field of Sichuan Road.Farmers also ran to the bank to watch them. There were two young men and women holding hands with each other behind them. on the road.Jialin takes Qiaozhen and gallops away... morning.By the well.An old man looked in the well and shouted: "What kind of bad things are these that sprinkled so many white things in this water?" A member of the commune: "Jalin, Qiaozhen! I heard there are Zhang Wa and Ming Sheng..." A commune member: "I heard that Jialin thought the well was dirty, so he sprinkled some washing powder in it." A member: "I heard that Jialin thought the water was dirty, so he sprinkled some washing powder in it." A member: "It's not washing powder, I heard it's some kind of medicine." A woman: "My God, whether it's washing powder or medicine, how can you sprinkle it in the well? Gao Yude's tender old man will kill the lives of this village." A young man squeezed to the edge of the well with a bucket, started scooping water, and said to everyone: "This is not washing powder, it's bleaching powder, it's hygienic..." A commune member: "You blind boy, follow that lunatic Gao Yude and make yellow dust!" Women: "Ming Sheng, your mother doesn't pay attention to hygiene, did you lose arms or legs when you were born?" Elderly people: "Hu Cheng Fine! I have offended the Dragon King, once the water vein is cut off, go drink your urine!" An old man came over and poured the bucket of water scooped up by the young man into the ditch. The young man stood up and shouted, "Dad, you..." The old man turned his neck and glared at his son. Everyone laughed.In the courtyard of Liben's house.Liben held up a shoe to beat Qiaozhen. Qiaoying and her mother are fighting.Qiaoying and her mother are fighting.Many spectators crowded the gate. The entrance of Jialin's kiln.Jialin wanted to go out, but his parents held him by the arm to prevent him from going out. On the path across from the well.Qiaoling came over with a book. She saw many people around the well, and she came over without knowing what was going on. by the well.Qiaoling asked a member, "What's the matter?" A commune member said sarcastically: "What's the matter, your second sister and your second brother-in-law thought the well was dirty, so they sprinkled some washing powder in it." A commune member: "Your family probably often drinks washing powder water, right? It seems that you drank so much White!" Everyone laughed.Qiaoling refrained from telling everyone about the effects of bleaching powder. A member of the commune rudely interrupted her, saying: "Huh! That's a good point, you have a drink first when you climb down! You have a Beijing accent like your second brother-in-law! Wear a pair of pants together!" Everyone laughed.With tears in her eyes, Qiaoling turned around and ran away in shame. Hearing Minglou come to the well, he took a look in the well and said to everyone: "Ha, you are such fools! Jialin has done a good thing for our village, but you are cursing other people's dolls...you Why don't you take care of this water, which is now sprinkled with bleach, it is the cleanest water... Uncle Fifth, give me your horse spoon!" Ming Lou took the ladle from Ming Sheng's father, took half a ladle of cold water from the well, took it up and drank it all.Minglou touched the water on the stubble, and said with a smile: "Practice has proved the truth! Don't you dare to take it?" Everyone laughed and rushed to the well to scoop water. At night, by the small river outside the village.Jialin and Qiaozhen sat silently. Galin looked up into the distance.In the distance are dark mountains. He seemed to see a huge light shining behind a distant mountain. He seemed to hear the train rumbling by. He seemed to hear the plane taking off, making a sharp sound... Everything calmed down again, and the surroundings were still immersed in peaceful darkness. He sighed and buried his head in his knees. Qiaozhen leaned lightly on him, and said: "Brother Jialing, I know what you're thinking... You have all the talents, but you can't use them in Gaojiagou... You haven't been used to working since you were a child, and you have to bear the hardships in the fields." No... If you work in the future, I will plant our private land at home and raise our baby... Come back to see me when you are free, and come to live with you in Wudadali when I am free from farming... ..." Jialin joked: "You asked me to go out to work, aren't you afraid that I won't want you?" Qiaozhen hugged him tightly and said with a sob: "Don't leave me behind..." Jialin smiled: "You, look at you, it seems that I already have a job!" Qiaozhen raised her head and smiled.During the day, Jialin's house.A family of three is eating lunch. Minglou walked in, smoking a cigarette. Yude and his wife hurriedly asked the secretary to eat. Minglou: "I just put down the bowl, you guys eat yours..." Minglou glanced at Jialin and said, "It's almost time to plant wheat. The team wants to pull some dung in the city. It's easy work. I want Jialin and Deshun old man to go...Galin is too tired for this period... "Galin glanced at Minglou, but said nothing. Minglou: "Qiaozhen will follow along to cook a meal. There is an empty kiln in her aunt's house in the city...just for this...you are here!" Minglou turned around and left, Yude and his wife escorted him to the door. In the evening, on the simple road leading to the county. Two dung trucks walked in the twilight, one behind the other.The donkey's hooves tapped the road.The old man from Deshun sat in the front car, and Jialin and Qiaozhen sat in the back car.Deshun took out the jug and took a sip, and said, "It's not dark yet, let's sit apart!" Jialin and Qiaozhen who were behind smiled shyly and moved their bodies a little away. night.The misty moonlight reflects the quiet mountains and rivers. Two dung trucks were walking on the road.The donkey snorted. The old man in Deshun took another sip of his wine, and sang Xintianyou twice with a sense of drunkenness: "Oh, young people see good young people, old men with white beards are useless,..." Jialin and Qiaozhen in the car behind couldn't help laughing. Lord Deshun: "What are you laughing at? Really, you young people are so nice, young boys and girls, affectionate, I am old, but I can't help being happy to see you together..." Jialin: "Shun Lord, why don't you marry a wife all your life? Did you ever fall in love when you were young?" Deshun Lord: "Love? Love? I was more in love than you when I was young!" He narrowed his eyes, staring into the distance, lost in thought. A blurred horizon in the distance.The silhouettes of mountains lined up against the dark blue sky. The fields of crops like splashed ink in the river. The surface of the water reflecting the moonlight. Steep cliffs.The car is walking on the road.The donkey's hooves clattered monotonously. In various silhouettes of nature and various close-ups of people, cars, and livestock, the old man in Deshun narrates his past... The voice of the old man in Deshun: "... At that time, I was as young as you... The farm work was not busy, so I took the animals to the mouth to carry salt and leather goods for the landlord Liu Guozhang... in a resting shop by the Wuding River , I made friends with the daughter of the shop owner and became a good friend. The girl is called Lingzhuan, she looks more handsome than Xiaodan from our county theater troupe. Every time I drive the animal spirit to them, Lingzhuan can calculate it accurately Exactly. As soon as I appeared on the front door of their village, she would sing Xintianyou to welcome me... Her voice is really good, like a silver bell ringing a silver bell..." "...I stopped in that shop and didn't want to leave. Ling turned her back on her father and secretly gave me mutton flat food and buckwheat noodles... At night, she sneaked out of her house and found My kiln came... One day, two days, seeing the time delay was too much, I had to drive the animal spirit again, got up and walked out of the mouth, the spirit often cried like a tearful person, and sent me to the kiln. On the banks of the Wuding River, they sang Xintianyou again..." Jialin: "Maybe it's 'Walk to the West'?" Deshun: "Well..." Then, he sang this ancient ballad: Brother, you go to the west entrance, and your little sister will see you off; there are a few words of heartfelt words, brother, you will keep them in your heart. Walk on the main road, never on the small road; there are many people on the main road, but there are thieves on the small road. After taking a boat, never sit on the bow of the boat; worry about falling into the water. You live in peace at sunset, and go on your journey again at dawn; the wind and cold road are cold and you are alone, Take care of yourself... The old man in Deshun sang out of breath, until the song was out of tune, and it became a line of lyrics.After talking about it, he started to cry; after crying for a while, he laughed again, and said, "Oh, fuck it! What are you doing! I'm old, I'm old, and I'm so old! I'm crying Make you dolls laugh at me..." The car walked quietly on the road. Qiaoling leaned against Jialin's chest, with tears on her face. Galin put his arm around Qiaozhen's shoulders. Qiaozhen: "Master Deshun, what did you do after the reincarnation?" Deshun sighed: "Oh...Later, I heard that a businessman in Tianjin was married away. She refused, and her father insisted on being led away...Tianjin, it's the end of the day. From then on, we I have never seen the one I love again! I will never marry a wife again in my life. Alas, marrying an unsatisfactory wife is like drinking cold water, tasteless..." Qiaozhen: "Maybe the soul Are you still alive now?" Master Deshun: "I can't die, she's alive! She's been in my heart all my life..." The car was walking on the road, walking, and disappeared into the distance... At night, at the gate of the non-staple food company. Jialin poured manure into the manure bucket of the trolley. At night, in the courtyard of the non-staple food company.Jialin walked out with a load of dung, and heard a few people sitting in the shade in the corner of the courtyard moaning and chirping.A woman shouted: "Dung bearer, you stink to death! Go to another place to carry it! Stop bullying people here!" Galin stopped suddenly.He resisted and continued to bear the load outside. The woman muttered again: "These bumpkins are disgusting!" Jialin couldn't bear it anymore, he put the dung load in the yard, and walked towards the few people who were enjoying the shade.Those few people stood up nervously. The woman pointed at him and yelled, "What are you doing here? You want to eat someone?" Jialin looked at her contemptuously, and said as calmly as possible: "There is no way. We went to the city to poop at night because we thought that the office would be unhygienic during the day. I didn't expect you to enjoy the shade in the yard at night..." The other two cadres said: "Forget it, forget it, fill it up and take it away..." The woman said angrily, "Go away! The feces all over the body stink!" Jialin said to her viciously: "I am not very clean, but I smell a bad smell on you too!" The woman was so angry that she wanted to rush over to pull Jialin, but was stopped by two other cadres. Galin turned to carry the dung... night.on the street.Galin leaned against a concrete electric pole in the shadows by the side of the road, looking at the twinkling lights of the city.There is a dung truck next to it.Galin's voiceover: 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?
