Chapter 12 Section Eleven

Sun Tianchou was at school and was punished many times.How could Sun Pingyu and Chen Fuying not know that there are many students in the Buckwheat Mountain Middle School in Fara Village?They all thought that Sun Tianchou was not good at school, and every time Sun Tianchou went home, he was educated by his parents earnestly. Sun Pingyu, Wu Mingyi, Wu Minghua, Zhao Guocheng, Wang Yuande and others are of the same age, all in their early thirties.The ideology of this generation is completely different from that of Sun Jiangcheng and Chen Minghe.One is that many people in Fara Village work outside. They work every year and envy those who receive wages to eat.I have admired it for a long time, and my psychology will naturally change.The second is that a large number of educated youths from Miliangba came a few years ago, who happened to be the same age as Sun Pingyu and others.The educated youth's educational level, dress and conversation, and living conditions are naturally superior to those of Sun Pingyu and others.So that Sun Pingyu and others felt inferior. When they explored the root causes of the differences, they found that the biggest difference was the cultural difference.Thus forming the concept: reading changes life, and knowledge determines destiny.But their fate of ignorance has long been decided.The Cultural Revolution delayed them.But even without the Cultural Revolution, it is impossible for them to receive any kind of education due to the remoteness and backwardness of Fara Village.They wanted to struggle and change their fate, but it was impossible.Their fate of failure before enlightenment has already been decided.Helpless, their resentment and injustice are passed on to the cultivation of their children.When the joint production contract responsibility system was implemented, their eldest child was just about to turn 10 years old, and was about to graduate from elementary school, and hope was just about to start.Coupled with the fact that production is contracted to households, although they are still not well-off, they are no longer poor cooperatives. No matter whether they sell cattle or horses, borrow cars or borrow money, they can manage to make up enough money for their children to enter middle school.In addition, although they have tasted the difficulty of having children, they have not tasted the hardships of making them start a family and start a business. They are full of illusions about the future.So when I saw my son's middle school admission letter arrive, I was overjoyed, thinking that now I could work hard with pride.It's also like Sun Pingyu carrying the quilt on his back and sending his son to Buckwheat Mountain.

In the year following Sun Tianchou's entrance examination, Wu Yaozhou, the son of Wu Mingyi, Wu Yaoxiang, the son of Wu Minghua, Zhao Jiashou, the son of Zhao Guocheng, Wang Xunke, the son of Wang Yuande, Xie Qingcheng, the son of Xie Jilin, Jiang Chengju, the daughter of Jiang Qinghui, and Wu Minglu, the son of Wu Guangying, who were in the same class as Sun Tianchou, were admitted to Buckwheat after tutoring. Mountain High School.But when this group of people came to school, except for Xie Qingcheng and Jiang Chengju who were studying hard, none of them were doing their jobs.Or smoke and drink, or gamble and fight, or take the food money and run to the cinema, or credit snacks to the sky, and go home and steal when they have no money.After the family found out, they took precautions and stole from school.When the school found out, they asked the parents to compensate for the loss and write a letter of guarantee.Parents have to be busy with childbirth, pay tuition, and have to go to school from time to time to compensate their son for fighting and stealing losses, because they are so angry that they are dying.I couldn't help my son, so I had to go to school every three days to learn about the situation from the teacher, present the facts and reason to my son, and explain the importance of reading and the necessity of changing destiny.Fara people come to the door, no matter how thick or thin, they must bring some gifts, or two eggs, or two catties of potato flour.In less than half a semester, the teachers were talking about how the parents of students like Fara hoped for their children to succeed, which was unprecedented.If all parents are like this, then this book is so easy to teach.

Zhao Jiashou played truant at school.Zhao Guocheng came to Buckwheat Mountain for reconnaissance every day, and finally captured Zhao Jiashou at the casino on the hillside behind the school.Zhao Guo's idioms are serious and sincere, and they reason until dark.Because Zhao Jiashou lost all his money, Zhao Guocheng gave Zhao Jiashou the only one yuan he had, and returned to Fala hungry.But Zhao Jiashou still did not change.Zhao Guocheng was furious, and brought two cowhide strips. After two days of scouting, he captured Zhao Jiashou in a casino under the highway bridge, tied him to a roadside tree, and raised the cowhide strips for a violent twitch.As soon as the thong goes down, there is a bulging mark of flesh, which can be seen through the clothes and pants.When Fara came to the scene, they all shouted: "Zhao Guocheng, be careful! You are a pimp, not a willow! What will he do for the rest of his life when he is sick for the elderly?" Zhao Guocheng ignored him and was exhausted. At that time, Zhao Guocheng's younger brother Zhao Guowan came to rush to the scene. Seeing that his nephew was beaten badly, he rushed to rescue him.Zhao Guocheng said: "Brother, I beg you ten thousand, let go of my hand! You don't understand my mood at this moment!" Zhao Guowan said: "Brother, you promised not to have a family birthday, so I will let you go." Zhao Guocheng Said: "Why are you so boring! Why didn't you come to educate him when he gambled? Now you come to educate me? Are you going to let him go or not?" Zhao Guowan said: "Jiashou was beaten to death by you." Zhao Guocheng was furious , Throwing the pimp, said: "You will take care of you!" Cursed and left.When Zhao Guowan saw that his good deeds would not be rewarded, he became angry and abandoned Zhao Jiashou.Zhao Jiashou was still tied to a tree when it got dark, so he hurriedly asked passing students to bring letters to the school, and invited Fara's students to untie him from the tree and carry him back to school.Zhao Jiashou's clothes were rotten, his flesh was swollen, and he passed out.The school doctor came for an infusion, and asked Fara students to bring a letter to their parents.When the letter was brought to Fara, Zhao Guocheng's wife twisted her husband and cried loudly. Zhao Guocheng got angry and gave his wife another meal, cursing: "You are used to it! I don't want to trouble you, but you still come to find trouble." I’m in trouble! It’s up to you to go and see, but I won’t go! That’s the only way he’s dead!” He didn’t come to school to see Zhao Jiashou.His wife ran to visit him.After Zhao Jiashou got well, he was afraid of it and didn't dare to gamble, but he fell asleep in class every day and didn't care about studying.

Wu Minghua is Zhao Guocheng's eldest brother-in-law, and he is busier than Zhao Guocheng in production.Zhao Guocheng's two nine-year-old and seven-year-old daughters did not go to school, and they helped give birth at home, so Zhao Guocheng went to school to spy on Zhao Jiashou when he was free.But Wu Minghua's sons were all studying, so he had no time to investigate.Zhao Guocheng beat his son and went home angrily, and Wu Minghua came to ask, "How is Wu Yaoxiang doing at school?" Zhao Guocheng said, "One night you find time to search his bag, and you will definitely find a few packs of cigarettes." Wu Minghua said: "Why don't you help me beat him up a few times?" Zhao Guocheng said: "I'll beat him up for you, but it's okay. Does the question work? Just like Zhao Jiashou, if I ask you to beat him up, even if you beat him up, it's okay." Is it going to be helpful for me to beat myself up?" Wu Minghua was ready to go to school to clean up as soon as he heard the truth.When Wu Yaoxiang came back the next week, he said again how much the school required to pay this kind of fee, how much that kind of fee, and how much money he had to bring in total.Wu Minghua's wife said, "Xiao Xiang'er, according to regulations, you only need nine yuan for food for a month. You have already been given nineteen yuan this month. Are you still not enough?" Wu Minghua had no choice but to borrow money everywhere until dark. Only enough money was borrowed and handed over to Wu Yaoxiang.After Wu Yaoxiang left, Wu Minghua made preparations for the road.Leaving the village in the middle of the night and arriving at school at dawn, I was so tired and sweating profusely.He groped into the student dormitory, and the students had just woken up.Wu Yaoxiang was lying on the bed, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "A cigarette at dawn is better than a living god." After speaking, he took another puff and blew smoke rings into the air.Feeling a hand touching his hair, Wu Yaoxiang thought it was a classmate who wanted a cigarette, and said, "Which one? Just tell me if you want a cigarette! You can afford two cigarettes!" The hand did not retract, but grasped it tightly. Wu Yaoxiang's hair, the other hand hit Wu Yaoxiang face to face.Wu Yaoxiang got a slap on the face, but when he saw it was Wu Minghua, he lost his mind.Wu Minghua took the cigarette and pressed the burning red end to Wu Yaoxiang's mouth.Wu Yaoxiang didn't dare to give in, his lips were burned so loudly.When the cigarette was extinguished, Wu Minghua said: "Eat!" Wu Yaoxiang had no choice but to chew the cigarette and swallow it.Wu Minghua searched Wu Yaoxiang's bag, there were three packs of cigarettes, and shouted: "Eat!" Wu Yaoxiang was forced to chew and swallow all the cigarette wrappers.Wu Minghua said, "Hand over the six yuan I gave you last night." Wu Yaoxiang said there was no more.Wu Minghua searched and found that it was gone, so he asked, "Where did it go?" Wu Yaoxiang dared not say that he had paid back the cigarette bill, and lied that he lost it on the way.Wu Minghua was furious, took him downstairs, untied the cowhide strips tied around his waist, tied him to the pillars of the school playground, raised the strips and beat him.Teachers and students all came to watch.Wu Minghua scolded while beating: "You bastard only studied for four months, and I sold four sheep. I only have ten sheep, enough to sell for a few months? I have four sons. I sold all the sheep to you. What about those three? I face the loess and my back to the sky, worse than a cow or a horse, worse than a pig or a dog! You little bastard is full of food and drink, 'you are better than a living god', and you 'can afford two cigarettes'." His skin was torn apart.Seeing that the fight was going to die, the teacher came to intervene.Wu Minghua swaggered away.The students untied Wu Yaoxiang and carried him into the dormitory.Wu Yaoxiang was wounded and suffered from constipation. He wanted to go to the toilet when he got to the bed, and wanted to stay on the bed when he got to the toilet. He cried and screamed, and was tortured to death.He was so painful that he rolled in the toilet all day long, peeing all over his body.

On Sunday, Sun Tianchou carried yams and firewood, went to Heiliangzi, and wanted to ask Wang Xunke to go with him.After arriving at the Wang's house, I heard the noise in the Wang's house.It was inconvenient for Tian Chou to go in, so he waited behind the house.I saw Wang Yuanjing come out.After a long time, I heard Wang Yuande beating Wang Xunke, only heard a muffled sound, and Tian Chou suspected that he was beating him with a stick.After ten or so years, I heard Wang Yuande's wife Xie Jifang scold Wang Yuande: "I'm a widow! I was beaten to death by you! A teenage baby, how can I beat you?" Wang Yuande roared: "What are you doing here? Hey the dog! The same brothers, he will be the head of the village, and I will be a simple farmer; as for the raised children, he will be a good student, and this little bastard will be a robber!" Still heard the bang of the stick.Xie Jifang scolded Wang Xunke again: "Little monk! You don't live up to it! Do you have less brains or hands than Wang Xunjie? He is a good student, but you are a pig's head! Your father and your elder brother are brothers, and your aunt and I are sisters." , are the sons of the Wang family, the girl of the Xie family! You should stand up for your useless parents! You still go to blackmail others, how can we miss you? Didn’t we give you food money? Didn’t we give you money for books? Didn’t give you the tuition? Tell me!” Wang Xunke said, “Blame me? Blame you! My father and his father are brothers, so why doesn’t my father become the mayor? My mother and his mother are sisters, so why is my mother Don’t you give birth to a good student? You are all inferior to his parents, why do you compare me to him? You are shameless, and you blame me for being shameless! It is easy for me to compare him, I will kill Wang Xunjie tomorrow! I will fight for you!" Wang Yuande yelled, "You little bastard!" Another sound of sticks.Xie Jifang scolded: "Beat hard! Beat hard! He won't listen to education, he won't tell when he knocks people, and he will kill them! I just pitied you for being beaten pitifully! What's the point of pity like this? You can't be beaten to death." It doesn't matter! I still have two sons!" Amidst the sound of sticks, Wang Xunke scolded: "Wang Xunjie is a bitch! You caused me to be beaten with sticks. Tomorrow, I will come to your door and want you to die!" Wang Yuande scolded again Beat again, Xie Jifang scolded again: "Hit hard! Hit hard!" Wang Xunke cursed Wang Xunjie to die again.Tian Chou understood what he had heard, and expected to wait until Wang Xunke was gone, so he took the potatoes on his back and left.

Wu Mingyi was mowing grass on the ridge. When he saw Sun Tianchou, he asked, "Nephew, did your old cousin Yaozhou spend his living expenses on dating?" No." Wu Mingyi said, "You don't have to hide from me, my nephew. I've found out everything. In addition to living expenses, he also needs examination paper fees, spring outing fees, etc. when he comes back every week. I asked Zhao Guocheng and said that Zhao Jiashou also asked for the same; Wu Minghua, Wu Yaoxiang also asked for the same. Ask your father, your father said that you didn’t ask for it. I just went to Buckwheat Mountain to ask the head teacher, and he said that there is no such fee. It turns out that they partnered to make up frames to deceive us! The head teacher thought I had something Very, a lot of money is given to him a month, and his little bastard uses it to treat those whores to eat snacks. Landlords are also bad at collecting debts. They are simply forcing people to come down. They say they want it, but they don’t give it away. It makes me feel dizzy with firewood in my eyes. I sell the pig worth ten yuan for three yuan, and he takes it. Hey those filthy whores raised by dirty mothers! Tell your uncle: Which girls does he usually hang out with?" Tian Chou understood that Wu Yaozhou, Wu Yaoxiang and others usually made up the same rhetoric, and when they came back to cheat money, they had already understood However, when Wu Mingyi asked them, he would never be able to get famous, so he asked himself, and said, "I'm not with them usually, so I don't know." Wu Mingyi said, "Of course. Good guys and bad guys don't get along. They're fooling around. Definitely not with you. But in the same school, my nephew knows everything he does, at least half of it." Tian Chou said: "I don't know at all." Wu Mingyi had no choice but to stop asking.Tian Chou saw that Wu Mingyi never wore patchy underwear in the past few years, but now he does.The rubber shoes are also rotten, and the big toe is exposed.Probably Wu Mingyi did provide for his son's poverty.Watching his back going away, Tian Chou's eyes were burning hot, and he estimated that it would take Wu Mingyi a whole day to mow this back grass, how much he would have to climb, how much sweat he would sweat, and this back grass would rot into dung in the pig pen. With less than a handful of dustpans, how much can you harvest if you carry them back to the ground to plant crops?Wu Mingyi's day's labor is worth a penny if it's good, but not worth a penny if it's bad.Wu Mingyi knew the production days of last year. Three thousand catties of yams were planted, but the harvest failed, and only five thousand catties of yams were dug up, which was only two thousand catties more.I wonder if these two thousand catties of yams are worth the money for urea?So this year, thousands of jobs such as plowing, manure accumulation, planting, weeding, and harvesting for the family of several people have all been posted.With such cheap labor, it is not easy to get a penny. Wu Yaozhou messed with those girls, and the ten yuan was gone in an instant.Tianchou thought: "The heart of the world's parents is pitiful", and the desolation of the world is exhausted, but the most hateful thing is "the heart of the world's children".Wu Yaozhou and others, why don't they grow a little heart and take care of their father's suffering?

After class this day, Sun Tianchou brought a cooking pot and wanted to go to the playground to cook yams. Suddenly he saw Wu Mingyi running on tiptoe in tattered clothes. Tianchou wondered why Wu Mingyi came to school and was dressed so poorly. Go, see Wu Yaozhou is inviting some girls to eat jelly.Wu Mingyi rushed to the jelly stand, but Wu Yaozhou hadn't noticed yet, and was still chatting and laughing with those girls.He was kicked from behind by Wu Mingyi and fell in front of the jelly stand.Those girls were out of their wits and fled in all directions.Wu Mingyi dragged Wu Yaozhou to a crowded place in the playground, slapped him on the left and slapped him on the right, and cursed loudly: "You little bastard said your family is very rich! Except for the rotten thatched cottage, all the cows and horses in my mother's house are sold to you, little bastard." I’m reading. A few sheep will be sold to you, you little bastard. The blood and dysentery are all gone. You still talk about your family’s ten thousand yuan household, how much I can earn every month, and talk about your mother’s head! On the bed Except for a piece of rotten felt, there is no bedding! I am your father, with ten toes sticking out. The pants have been patched and patched, patched and patched, worn and worn, and the flesh on the buttocks can’t be covered. You little The bastard is impatient to wear the breasted clothes, forcing me to buy a Chinese tunic suit to wrap your body! Lao Tzu's big boss, Jie Yang, sold your little bastard to wrap your body! Pity your sister, the sky is cloudy and rainy, and it is snowing Ling, I have been wearing a rotten wool felt sweater for many years, and those few sheep are short, and I am shivering in the cold! Take a look, does your sister dress like you whore with these bitches? I usually feel chills when I think of it, and I think of it next to the pillow in the middle of the night. A large piece of felt is going to be wet! And you bastard, your conscience has been eaten up by leopards. You come to wrap some whores and fool around! Who the hell raises a stinky sow, and rushes to find a tooth pig to match it ! This is a school, not a breeding ground!"

While scolding and beating, Wu Yaozhou's face was swollen on both sides, his face was torn to pieces, he was anxious and ashamed, he just hated that he had nowhere to go.Wu Mingyi's beating and scolding was so vivid that it attracted hundreds of students to watch.Even the teacher who was eating at home was very interested in hearing the loud curses, and came to see what kind of character this actor is.Everyone praises this parent.For Wu Yaozhou, beatings are trivial matters, scolding is the most shameful thing.Stretching his face to be beaten: "Dad, you can do whatever you want, please don't scold so badly! How many teachers and students are listening!" Wu Mingyi said: "You little bastard still want face? You are an upper class figure, Naturally, I want to save face. I’m a humble farmer who doesn’t get angry, so I don’t want to lose face.” He took out a rotten dress from his waist, forced Wu Yaozhou to put it on, and slapped Wu Yaozhou while walking around the school. He scolded: "This little bastard, he wants to save face! Teachers and students, look at this little bastard's cows and horses are sold to him to study, and he is going to talk about it. He is still bragging at school that his family is a millionaire! This The rotten clothes were worn by him in elementary school. We took care of his face when he passed the exam and sewed him new clothes. He came to school in new clothes for a month, and when he came back, he said that the school stipulated that all students should wear sewing machines. Dika Chinese tunic suit. I have no choice but to sell a big sheep to buy him this body wrap! Take off this rotten clothes and let his brother wear it at home!"

Wu Mingyi felt that the education was almost done, so Wu Yaozhou took off his Chinese tunic and took it back to Fala.Wu Yaozhou wore that rotten clothes, he was very pitiful, like a beggar.As soon as Wu Mingyi left, Wu Yaozhou threw away the rotten clothes, borrowed clothes everywhere, and said, "My family is really ten thousand! Why is my father dressed so badly! I don't know where he borrowed those rotten clothes from! My house is not a thatched house, but a big tile house! There are a lot of cows and horses in the house. If you don’t believe me, you can follow me to my house to have a look!”

Going home the next week, Sun Pingyu and Chen Fuying said to Sun Tianchou: "Wu Mingyi wants Wu Yaozhou to sleep with you. We can't make a decision, so we have to ask you. If he comes to ask, you can say that the teacher stipulates that he will be in another class." You are not allowed to move to the dormitory of your class. The Wu family hates it very much, so don’t mess with it.” Sure enough, Wu Mingyi came at night and said, “Nephew, uncle wants your cousin Yao Zhou to sleep with you. As the saying goes, ‘follow the good people Learn from being a good person and dance to false gods with my wife. My prodigal son is born to eat shit, and he can't even teach him. I was taught a lesson in the first week. I just left, so I was replaced by him. The rotten clothes were lost, and I borrowed a Chinese tunic suit to wear back. But I wish I could drive him out of the house, after all, he was born and raised by himself! After being born as a father and son, there is no way. I think any relationship in the world is easy to deal with, and everything It's easy to handle, the big deal is that you can't get along if you don't get along. Only this father-son relationship, if you want to get along well, you can't get along, and if you want to get rid of it, you can't get rid of it. If you say there is no way, this is no way. I think that no matter which family has something to do with my Wu family, I usually come Ask me for an idea. It's really 'my family's fairness can't hold back my own god'. Now it's on my head, and I can't do anything about it. I have been under a lot of psychological pressure because of this prodigal son's incompetence in the past six months. The burden on my mind is heavy, and my brain is not I am flexible. After much deliberation, I only came to find my nephew. As the saying goes, "When you are close to the vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to the ink, you will be black". Let him come and sleep with you, and see how you progress in your studies, and infect him. Get rid of his bad temper."

Tian Chou hurriedly refused on the pretext of various school regulations.But Wu Mingyi said: "Nephew, the rules are so strict! The army is the strictest. In the past, when my uncle was a soldier, he went from the second company to the third company. You are afraid that the prodigal son will come to trouble you. So, try it for a few weeks, and if he If it is changed, your two cousins ​​will live together. If he does not change, your two cousins ​​will live separately. Is that okay?" Tian Chou still refused to agree, Wu Mingyi was very disappointed, so let it go. When Wu Mingyi left, Sun Pingyu and Chen Fuying sighed.Sun Pingyu said to Tianchou: "Wu Mingyi has nothing to do. Otherwise, he would be patient and beg for help? Who else is tyrannical in this village, except for his father? Poor people like Cui Shaoan, just want him to eat meat, help him every day, Like many years ago, Wu Mingyi said at the gate of Daying all day long: "I am impatient with my childbirth. I fed a bunch of pigs, and as soon as my pig food rattles by the side of the pig trough, the pigs will come." "Wu Guangyao has been fighting with your grandfather for decades, and the anger is still lingering. Will Wu Mingyi want you to study well? Wu Mingyi still can't hold it this year. Brothers discuss raising Wu Guangyao, Wu Mingxian, Wu Mingxiong, Wu Mingzhang was rich and wanted to save trouble. He said that each family would pay 150 yuan a year, and Wu Guangyao would buy what he needed. How could Wu Mingyi and Wu Minghong compare with those three families? Gathering firewood and meat. Those three families quit, saying: "Give money to the old man, and you can buy anything you want." Wu Mingyi scolded: "It's worthless to quit. If you have money, you can raise it! I can't support myself. Why do you raise old people! I will do what I say, and I won’t if I don’t! The sky will fall and someone tall will stand up to it! The old man is starving to death, and no one will scold me first!’ Just playing rogue like this. The three families couldn't do it, no matter how troublesome they were, they had to follow suit, and bought the same kind of firewood, rice, oil and salt. This time, Wu Mingyi didn't do it when the Wu family was repairing the genealogy, saying: "The compilation of the genealogy is to praise the people who play tricks. To make ten It will be repaired after a year.' What he thinks is that after ten years, he will confess Wu Yaozhou to the work unit, and he will have face after repairing it. But Wu Yaozhou is not up to date." Sun Pingyu's family situation was getting tighter and tighter. Sun Pingyu lamented: "People in agriculture can't help it! Those who work in other people's units will benefit more or less every month. It’s all about agriculture. Don’t say one month, if you look at it for ten months, who will give you a penny if you suffer without yourself? Besides, you can’t come when you are suffering, and you can’t bear it. It's okay!" Sun Tianchou also felt sorry for his parents, consciously saving money, and didn't spend any money except for pens, ink and paper.Going home every week, carrying a back of yams and leaving, I can't bear to ask for more money.Dozens of miles, walk all the way, rest all the way.With a back that weighs dozens of catties, the suffering is unspeakable.The rope on the shoulder was pulled into the flesh desperately, as if it had cut through the flesh and reached the bone, Tian Chou gritted his teeth and endured it.I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to bow my waist, support the bottom of my back with my buttocks, and bumped up, and instantly felt that my whole body was free of the heavy burden, so uncomfortable.But immediately the heavy burden came up again, I had to endure it, and I couldn't bear it and I fell again.When the constant bumping didn't work, I had to stop by the side of the road.As soon as the back basket was let go, I immediately felt like I was floating in the sky.  But it's not that "immortal" will be fine for a while.A distance of several tens of miles can only be obtained by grinding slowly.In extreme pain, Tian Chou learned to divert the conflict, concentrated on counting his steps, one step at a time, counting two steps, counting hundreds of steps and thousands of steps, but finally it didn't work, so he had to rest.Tian Chou once wanted to hone his will by carrying this yam, and train himself to become a man of steel who could not be broken by any force at any time.As soon as he was on the road many times, he determined to run to school without a break, but all failed.
