Heiwa lived in this cave dwelling after being kicked out by his father. The cave dwelling was very dilapidated. The original owner stored fodder and firewood in it. In summer, he piled up wheat bran and in autumn, he piled up grain stalks. There was a door woven with willow slivers.
There is a fence gate to prevent pigs and dogs from entering or peeing or urinating. There is a small skylight above the kiln door for ventilation. Hei Wa was actually excited for a while when he bought this cave house. He finally had his own house in the open Bailuyuan.
The nest was full of dirt. Heiwa borrowed a stone ram and a wooden mold, dug soil on the cliff next to the cave dwelling and laid two piles of 500 adobe bricks each. He first set up a fire kang in the kiln and built it under the foundation.
The pot platform connected to the fire pit was then torn down and heavily built on the dilapidated kiln wall. A rough and strong wooden door cut by mountain people was bought from Bailu Town and installed, and a tic-shaped window was also installed.
An iron pot and a chopping board were also bought and placed in the cave. When smoke came out from the door and window of the cave, the two of them choked and coughed with tears streaming down their faces, but they were so happy that they hugged each other and cried.
It was the first time I slept on the warm heated kang that had been dried, and I was so excited that I cried again. Heiwa said: "No matter how blind or rotten it is, it will always be our own home." Xiao'e sobbed and said: "I don't want to
Even if it’s too blind, it’s not too bad. As long as I have you... I’m willing to eat chaffy vegetables.”
Heiwa bought a stone hammer and a wooden mold and went out to make money by making adobe bricks. Among the seventy-two livelihoods in the countryside, Heiwa chose not to spend a lot of capital to purchase equipment, nor did he need to study as a master for three to five years.
It was natural for Zai to start making adobe bricks. After he made two piles of adobe bricks for himself, he mastered this cumbersome craft without a teacher, and confidently left the village carrying a stone hammer and wooden molds.
Wandering around in those familiar yet unfamiliar villages, the owner who needed adobe bricks to replace the walls of the kang led him into the trench, stripped off his clothes, and made a light and heavy pounding sound in the early morning light. The owner
He took care of three meals, saved some rations, took the copper and hemp money given to him by the master in the evening, and returned to the cave to give it to Xiao'e. Throughout the long spring leisure period, except for rainy days, Heiwa would go out early and stay late.
Returning. When it came time to take a sickle to cut wheat, he picked up the long-handled sickle and went to the field to cut wheat. First, he went to the original slope area, where the wheat was the first to ripen due to the direct sunlight and the lack of water and drought on the slope. When the wheat harvest on the original slope was approaching,
At the end, the wheat in Zishui River Road was harvested again, and finally the wheat in Bailuyuan. Due to the difference in climate and soil quality between the original slopes and the river road, the wheat harvesting period lasted almost a month. During the wheat harvest period of more than a month,
Heiwa can usually earn more than two months' wages as a wheat customer by going to the field to cut wheat. The wheat customer and the owner go to the field to discuss the price based on the growth of the wheat. After cutting, Heiwa measures the land with his steps and pays in person. Heiwa gets up early and is greedy at night, specializing in picking.
He started working on the thick and dense wheat fields with high wages in order to earn a few more hemp coins. Over the past year, in addition to supporting Xiao'e's food and necessary expenses, he had accumulated a considerable amount of copper and hemp coins.
In the twelfth lunar month, he seized the opportunity of a villager selling land and immediately bought a gently sloping land with a herringbone pattern on a hillside of 9/6 centimeters. He built a pig pen outside the kiln gate and caught him when the weather got warmer after the Spring Festival.
Heiwa brought back a pig boy and dug a small hole under the cliff next to the cave dwelling as a chicken nest. Xiao'e also started to take care of the chickens. Heiwa planted a row of saplings on the ridge outside the cave dwelling.
The elm, toon, catalpa, and locust trees have begun to bloom one after another, and the chickens and pigs in the kiln courtyard are full of life, showing a competitive atmosphere of living at home. He walked out of the warm cave in the morning without knowing it, and returned to the cave in the evening.
Chi also came back to the cave dwelling, and stayed with Xiao'e sweetly at night, never wandering around the village. On rainy days, when I couldn't get out, I would do some housework in the cave that I couldn't usually do, even if
There was absolutely nothing to do, so he lay on the kang and looked at the soles of Xiao'ona's shoes. The hissing sound of the hemp rope passing through the soles was a heart-warming and moving music. Heiwa had matured without being aware of it, and his cheeks
The outline of his father Lu San began to appear. The fur on his upper lip and chin had already turned black, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes showed a calm and fierce look. His arms became as thick as rafters, and he lifted Xiao'e up when he was happy.
He got up and threw it on the top of the kiln, caught it and threw it again, which made Xiao'e scream in fright. The muscles in his chest were coiled into two big plates, and he had a strong momentum when he walked. He was so strong that he almost
There was no time left every night. The cave dwelling lived alone outside the village, and Xiao'e moaned happily without warning, walking together to the peak of ecstasy, and then snuggled close to each other and entered the dreamland.
Hei Wa used a hoe to break up the ground in the yard outside the kiln gate, spread it out, sprinkled it with water, and then sprinkled it with firewood ash. He used a wooden paddle to push the small bluestone mill to crush the ground, preparing to harvest his own wheat.
.A primary school student ran up to the village and said, "Uncle, my teacher asked you to go to school." Hei Wa stopped and asked, "Which of your teachers called me?" The primary school student said, "Teacher Lu. Principal Lu." Hei Wa again
Asked: "When did you ask me to go?" The primary school student responded bluntly: "I didn't say when. I asked you to go anyway."
Hei Wa didn't leave the kiln until after dark. When Hei Wa walked out of the kiln, he remembered the scene when Lu Zhaopeng thrust a piece of rock candy into his hand. The wonderful sweetness of the rock candy made him cry bitterly. He swore to himself that he would grow up
When he earned some money, he bought a bag of rock candy. The second time Zhaopeng gave him a piece of crystal cake, he threw it into the grass. Lu Zhaopeng is now the principal of the eye-catching Bailu Junior School, wearing a foreign cloth uniform.
, with side-parted hair, can be regarded as a foreigner in Western clothes in Bailu Town. He is a poor man who can't even make it as a long-term worker and can only earn odd money as a part-time worker. He is a black-spotted man who can't even worship in the ancestral hall. He occasionally
After returning from work, I bumped into Zhaopeng walking along the path next to the school. He said hello in a hurry and left. There was no longer any connection between a dignified principal and a hard worker. Until he walked into the school gate, Heiwa
Still couldn't guess why Zhaopeng was looking for him. The school was very quiet, and three or four windows covered with white paper had lights on. Heiwa asked someone and found Zhaopeng's house. Zhaopeng was scrubbing himself in a pair of shorts.
He said, "Hey, I'm a rare guest. Sit down wherever you want." Zhaopeng went out and poured water on him, then came back, put on his trousers, poured Heiwa a cup of herbal tea, and the two started chatting.
"Hei Wa, why don't you come to my place to gossip?"
"You are busy teaching, and I am busy making money by making clay bricks. We don't have any free time."
"How have you been in the past two years?"
"It's okay to make do"
“Is the food you earn from doing part-time work enough to eat?”
"It's just enough."
"The cave house you live in is not perfect."
“There is no cannabis that cannot collapse”
"Everything goes well for you," Zhaopeng said teasingly, and then asked deliberately: "You stole back a daughter-in-law, and the patriarch does not allow you to enter the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors. Will you suffer in your heart and lose your face?"
"You fart?" Heiwa jumped up from the chair as if he had been scalded by fire, and his expression suddenly changed, "You are tired of being the principal, so you want to take advantage of the poor boy for fun, right?"
"Well done Hei Wa. Well done Hei Wa. Swear hard and use all the curse words you used to scold when you were a child. I haven't heard them in years and I really want to hear you scold them." Zhaopeng urged with a smile, "What are you doing?"
Just curse once and don’t curse.”
Hei Wa snorted in his nose, turned around and walked towards the door. Zhao Peng rushed over and hugged his shoulders: "Yes, yes, yes, this behavior is just like Hei Wa's behavior. He would twist his neck and stare if he heard something that didn't sit well with him.
He turned around and left. I remember Hei Wa, you have had this stubborn temper since you were a child."
Heiwa asked angrily: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Can't I ask you to come here if you have nothing to do? You have forgotten the friendship between us brothers." Zhaopeng blamed Heiwa instead, "Come to my place and let yourself be happy, don't act like a restrained bear."
When you ask questions like this, the answer is 'Okay' or 'Almost'. How should I talk to you?"
Hei Wa smiled in relief: "You are the principal?"
Zhaopeng said nonchalantly: "I'm the principal, but I'm not your Heiwa's principal. You avoid me and I see my restraint, which makes me uncomfortable."
Hei Wa explained: "You don't know, I dare to go all over the world, I dare to enter the county government office, but I don't dare to enter the school door. When I see Mr. Sir, I get scared. You know, this is us
Mr. Xu from the village school planted the disease in me since I was a child."
"You are so amazing Hei Wa." Zhaopeng changed the topic, "I only admire one person in our Bailu Village. Guess who it is, Hei Wa."
"I," Hei Wa curled his lips and said condescendingly, "Hei Ba is the first one."
"How dare you find yourself a wife?" Zhaopeng said, "You are better than me."
Hei Wa stared alertly: "You're making fun of me again."
Zhaopeng stood up from his chair and said impassionedly: "You, Hei Wa, are the first person in Bailu Village to break through the shackles of feudalism and implement independent marriage. You ignore the feudal ethics and resist the oppression of clan laws.
, realizing the freedom of marriage, it’s amazing and great.”
But Hei Wa was at a loss: "I can't tell whether you are talking nonsense or making fun of me..."
"This is called freedom, freedom, love, love." Zhaopeng continued to say impassionedly, "The purpose of the national revolution is to abolish feudal rule and realize democracy and freedom, including freedom of marriage. In the future, arranged marriages with three media and six certificates will be abolished
, everyone should be like you and choose the woman you like as your wife. Don’t worry about whether the patriarch allows you to enter the ancestral hall. If you don’t allow worshiping the ancestors, you and Xiao’e will not be able to live as adults and live a better and more comfortable life.”
Hei Wa listened with wide eyes in horror. He no longer doubted whether Zhaopeng was making fun of him and asked: "Where did you get these scary words?"
"All the revolutionary youth in China say and do this. The countryside is still very closed, and the tide of new ideas has not yet swept over." Zhaopeng said sincerely and sadly, "Although I praise you, I want to love freely but I don't
I can’t be free... I’m a little jealous of you and admire you.”
"Oh -" Hei Wa suddenly realized it and was moved by Zhaopeng's sincerity, "If you don't go home after marrying your wife, you just want to..."
Zhaopeng said: "I haven't given in yet, the struggle is more complicated than yours..."
Hei Wa was deeply affected and admired Zhaopeng's sincere trust even more: "Did you call me here just to say this? If you had known, I would have come a long time ago. People in the village don't care whether they are poor, rich, male or female.
Everyone, old and young, looked at me sideways, and I had no shame to say a word to anyone all day long. Good Zhaopeng... If you have anything to do in the future, as long as your brothers can help you, just say yes."
Zhaopeng said bluntly: "I am going to burn down the grain platform in Bailucang. Do you dare to do it?"
Hei Wa couldn't help but said "Ah", jumped up from the chair, and stared at Zhaopeng in surprise. If this were said by any stupid farmer in Bailu Village, he might not be so unexpected; the dignified Bailu Cangdi
How could Lu Zhaopeng, the son of Yue Lu Zilin from No. 1 Security Station Township and the principal of Bailu Town County Junior Primary School, think of burning the garrison’s grain rack? Although his family had paid for the grain, they would never be like the poor man’s family.
The rice in the pot is cooked. He earns money from the county government as a teacher and as a principal. It has nothing to do with the grain platform. How could a gentle and elegant gentleman think of doing this kind of arson and burning grain? It is undoubtedly a bandit riot. His
His mind couldn't wrap his head around it for a while, and he stared at Lu Zhaopeng with startled eyes without knowing what to say.
Zhaopeng asked: "Do you know what kind of team this is that collects food?"
Heiwa said: "I heard someone said that today a leader named Zhang came to the city, and tomorrow a leader named Ma came and drove away the leader named Zhang. The day after that, a leader named Guo came and drove away the leader named Ma.
The flags on the city wall are also changed from red to blue, blue to yellow, and yellow to red. I can't figure it out, and no one else can figure it out."
"This is a group of counter-revolutionary warlords." Zhaopeng said, "The National Revolutionary Army is fighting north from Guangzhou, winning every victory. The Beijing warlord government has united the reactionaries across the country to prevent the revolutionary army from coming north. The Liujia Town Song Army currently besieging the city is
A counter-revolutionary army. Generals Li Hu, Yang Hu and Hu who defended the city of Xi'an are all National Revolutionary Army."
Heiwa didn't understand and just responded with "oh".
Zhaopeng said: "Commander Liu of the Zhensong Army is a local ruffian. He first speculated on revolution and sneaked into the ranks of the rebels, and later joined the Fengcian warlords. He did not want revolution, but wanted to become king in Xi'an. Henan has suffered from successive years of disasters, and the hungry people are like flies and bandits.
Rumah, this man surnamed Liu returned to Henan to recruit troops and said, "I joined the army and killed Tongguan and entered Xi'an. Xi'an's pot helmets are three feet long with thick noodles. All the women in Xi'an are better than Yang Guifei..." They are a bunch of people.
A rabble of indiscriminate soldiers and bandits."
Hei Wa roughly understood: "Oh, they are such bad things."
Zhaopeng said: "Do you dare to burn the grain table to Gouri?"
Hei Wa showed the demeanor of a general: "If you burn it, you will be burned like a dog. Why don't you dare?"
