People who have never been in northern Shaanxi when Xu Xin was a child may have a hard time imagining how poor Shenmu was back then. It is also hard to imagine what life was like in a residential area like Xujiawan centered around surnames and clans.

The rules of the family are more powerful than the laws of the country.

For Xu Xin, now, there is no doubt that the country is big.

But back then...when he was a child...

The law is greater than the rules of the family.

As for how dark it was, he was young at the time and could not imagine it, but now that he thought about it...it was really a bit scary to think about it.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the Roadhog, a car gangster that has not been seen for a long time in recent years.

In Xu Xin's memory, his father once took him and Xu Miao to Dabaodang, not far from the sacred tree... to visit relatives or something else.

I took that kind of minibus to go there. It was fine on the way there, but when I came back I met a road bully.

Get in the car and ask for money with a knife.

Everyone has to give something, and if you don’t give it... the consequences will be less of a beating.

Xu Xin was very scared at the time and did not dare to say a word while being protected by Xu Miao, but his father was very calm.

I just remember that when the car robbers with knives came to the father and son sitting in the back and gestured with the knives to ask for money, Xu Daqiang said something that impressed Xu Xin deeply:

"My surname is Xu."

With such a simple sentence, the car robber turned around and went to find someone else.

Xu Xin, who was hiding in his brother's arms, looked at his father's calm eyes... That was the first time he understood the "power" of his surname.

But from the side, this is not a small microcosm of the chaos in northern Shaanxi, which was considered a remote and remote place by southern Shaanxi people at that time.

Digging wells and watering the ground will cause fights.

The thief was found hanging at the end of the village.

When a dealer comes, at least a piece of meat must be left behind.

It became even more exaggerated after the discovery of coal under the earth.

If nothing else, let's just talk about playing cards.

With the newly acquired resettlement money, friends from several villages played a card game on their own. As a result, one person called from the east and the other called from the west. It gradually turned into a treasure-guessing game surrounded by a room full of people.

The mountain of old people smashed their heads on the table in shock. At first it was only a few thousand dollars, but by the end of the game it was one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand dollars.

Some people get rich overnight and then get richer and richer, while some people get rich suddenly and then become destitute before they even have time to enjoy life because of a passion.

Then... gambling becomes a magnifying glass of human nature.

In the end, we had to ask some elders from the village to take charge of the situation and come up with a solution that would convince everyone.

Some are happy and some are sad.

This is only the early stage, and once the mining industry starts construction, there will be more chaos.

The land and cement in this village must be purchased from people in this village.

You have to go to that village to buy it.

What? Unified procurement?

Try it and see if your mine can be built.

Then, the cement and accessories sold are all the worst. To put it bluntly, it means spending twice as much money on the same thing. Only by buying ours and then yours can everyone be satisfied.

.

Then there are things like sand and gravel.

Digging sand on the edge of the Yellow River, regardless of whether you allow it or not, cart after cart of sand will be taken to the mine, and it will be nothing but money. And if someone accidentally falls into the Yellow River... he can be rescued.

Fortunately, they couldn't be saved... The orphans and widows of the family were crying while they had to sign a secret guarantee to ensure that the head on the dividend account would never be marked with the word "death" in the household registration book.

As for the construction teams doing small jobs, this is even more nonsense.

Big cars cost money when they come in, and they also cost money when they go out.

If you take the road in our village, you have to pay for the road strips, otherwise your car will not be able to leave the village.

And we have to share in the work in the mine.

The contractor led two people to the construction site in the morning and transported two small carts of bricks in one day. As a result, when he got off work, he had to remember the work of 30 people, not counting? Then you'd better not go to the mine. If you encounter something on the way to the mine,

Don't blame others for the rocks that smashed the windshield of the car. Who allowed the bad weather here to cause the rocks to fly?

And sometimes it's even easier when both parties have a conflict of interest over a certain job.

Let's fight first, but we can't kill anyone or cause any harm.

After the fight is over, whoever suffers the loss will go to the village chief.

The village chief will call two groups of people together, kill a sheep, and discuss how to handle this matter.

Agreed, let's eat mutton together.

disagree……

Don't do anything to either family, let the others come over and eat the meat.

And if there is a conflict between two different interest groups, there will be more involved and even more confusion.

It can be said that Xu Xin grew up in this environment. At that time, it was no exaggeration to say that when people in a village went out to play, they would first look for "enemies" wherever they went.

This is just a child's world.

In the world of adults, what kind of past events happened in the rivers and lakes on the border of northern Shaanxi...

How many stories are buried on that loess plateau? I am afraid only those who have experienced them will know.

Xu Daqiang's words today, for Xu Xin, were like a sound of enlightenment that evoked a series of childhood memories of what he saw, heard, and felt in his childhood.

His mind instantly went back to his childhood, recalling that he didn't care much about it at the time, but now there are some things that scare him when he thinks about it...

Um.

Let's put it this way.

Sitting in front of the computer, the things rolling in Xu Xin's mind, according to what Guo Degang said in the afternoon, really made a "hole" and traveled far and wide.

Light a cigarette.

A WORD document is opened.

He subconsciously wanted to write down all the childhood memories in his mind.

But... when his hand fell on the keyboard, he couldn't type anymore.

This... what kind of story must it be?

The script is not a direct story, it serves the movie.

And now... although he has memories in his mind and has received inspiration from his father... but how to write the story?

The inspiration is like diabetes, but when it is put on paper, it suddenly gets stuck.

It's not going up or down, it's so painful that it's stuck.

Different from "Not Drunk", "Not Drunk" is equivalent to a novice task. First of all, the teacher allows free play in terms of subject matter.

But now... after getting inspiration from his father, Xu Xin suddenly wanted to write something... that happened around him. You can say it is real, and it is indeed. But there are also fictional stories processed by art.

This is a movie.

It's also a movie script.

Suddenly, he felt that his ability was a little immobile.

It said it couldn't be turned and it wasn't suitable, but...he was a little confused.

"..."

I don't know when a cigarette has been burned out.

With a "click" sound, he lit another one.

Burned out again.

Then another one...

At this moment, I face a blank computer screen.

In a daze, Xu Xin felt like... a young boy who was just starting to fall in love.

I only knew that I would get pregnant if I was with a girl, but I had no idea how to get pregnant.

It's even an exaggeration.

"Not Drunk" is like his first kiss, as long as the lips touch each other, it's a kiss.

But he didn't know he had to stick out his tongue.

And now...he, who has never even stuck out his tongue, suddenly wants to give birth...
