I heard from my father that during the criticism, it was this little aunt who beat the fifth master the hardest.

In fact, there is no way to do it. If they don't do it, others will do it, and they themselves will be the target of being beaten and criticized. It can only be said that the world makes people fool.

Zhang Xingming's second, third, and fourth masters were beaten and locked up in a cowshed and pigpen because of long-term criticism. They died one after another. The fifth master survived because he was younger and stronger.

The Zhong family was originally a poor family from outside, but they seized the opportunity during the movement and became the captain and the richest family in the village.

In the later period of the movement, things like criticism and struggle gradually decreased, but at that time, everything in the city and the countryside was based on status, and rich peasants and landlords were looked down upon everywhere, as inferior people without human rights.

Although the fifth master was no longer beaten, he had no status in the village, including at home. He had to eat alone by the stove in the outhouse, and could not enter the house to serve the table, because the whole family was revolutionary. He is a landlord and belongs to the five black categories.

In 76, the banner outside the mountain has changed, and the world has a new look, but the aftertaste of sports in this mountain has not yet dissipated.

It was not until 78 that Lord Wu could enter the house and sit on the kang to eat hot food.

Since 77, this sister-in-law's spirit has been not very good. It seems that something went wrong. She moved to the upper reaches of the river a few kilometers away from Baozi by herself, built half a thatched house, and opened some land. Contacted.

From the fort up to the reservoir, there were only a few families in total. My sister-in-law lived the farthest, so she lived alone in the mountains, and later died of illness alone there.

……

Zhang Xingming was younger than his brother, so he couldn't talk to his sister-in-law, and his grandma didn't seem to like talking to her very much.

She grabbed her grandma's hand and said a few words, then she suddenly became quiet, as if she was crying, then turned around and left without looking back. Grandma sighed as she looked at her thin back.

Someone on the side said: "Is this girl here to haha?"

"Who knows, I heard it's crazy, but it doesn't look like it."

"Say something else, talk about something else, what's there to say, I've kept these years in mind, just understand."

Grandma held the hands of her elder brother and Zhang Xingming, and walked out from Mrs. Zhong.

When I came out and looked left and right, my sister-in-law no longer knew where she had gone, and she was nowhere to be seen.

This is the last side of Zhang Xingming and this aunt.

Chapter 21

After exiting Mr. Zhong, go straight across the river to return to Nangou, turn left to Fort, turn right and go down the river to exit Fort, and walk one kilometer to the National Highway.

However, there are still families here, all separated from their families after marriage, and there is no place to build a house in the castle, and they don’t want to build a house halfway up the mountain, so they all come here. Several families.

Mancang's house is right here, and grandma took Zhang Xingming and his brother to Mancang's house.

Mancang's father is Zhang Xingming's father's uncle and elder brother. He is the only teacher in the village, who receives a national salary, and is the only urban hukou in the village.Those who moved out because of military service or work cannot be counted.

Grandma brought the two younger brothers to Mancang's house because the elder brother went to school.

When my father came last time, I told my grandma that my brother is old enough to go to school, and I don't know if he can go to the village for a year first.Grandma came to Mancang's house today to ask about it.

After entering the house, Mancang's family was eating. It should be less than [-] o'clock at this time. It seems that Mancang's family has three meals a day, just like in the city.

Seeing grandma dragging the two brothers into the house, Mancang's father hastily put down his wine glass and stood up from the kang, put on his shoes and got off the floor. "Oh, why are you here, auntie? Sit down, have you eaten? Have a drink?" The three Mancang brothers also put down their rice bowls, stood up to accompany them, and said hello to grandma one by one: "Hello, grandma Zhang." Hello, grandma." "Miss Zhang, have you eaten?" Mancang's mother moved the dining table to one side, wiped the kang with a rag, and said, "Auntie, come and sit, this is a rare visitor, but I haven't seen it for a while. "Grandma usually stays at Nangou's house, and rarely enters the Baozi once a year.

At that time, the Northeast paid more attention to this aspect. Since it was a rural area, visitors and children could not sit at the table, and the elders could not sit without the younger generation.If you come to a guest's house, if the child is in the room, it will be a crime. You can't leave, you can't interrupt, you can't lie down, and you can't play. You just sit in a corner honestly. If the guest doesn't leave, you are equivalent to confinement .And today, half of the meal is eaten, and the visitor can't eat it, and everyone can't eat it. Either acquaintances can sit down and eat together, or they can clean up and move out to eat after the guests leave.

Zhang Xingming looked at the people in this room and felt so embarrassed. There is no gate and no doorbell to push the door. It is really hard to guard against. Seeing that Mancang and the second brother are better, when they are older, Xingliang who has been going to the dining table The glance in his eyes has already betrayed his own heart.

Mancang's father had already got down to the ground, helped grandma to sit on the edge of the kang, lit a cigarette, and Mancang's mother went to the outhouse to pour hot water. Mancang's father also sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "Auntie came to see Am I busy? This is Qingzhi’s child, right? This is Xiaojun, right? This is the second child? What’s his name?” Zhang Xingming looked at Mancang’s father and said, “My name is Erming, uncle.” Mancang’s father was happy , lit a cigarette, and said, "You're pretty smart, boy, do you know me? How do you know to call me uncle?"

Zhang Xingming pointed to the three Mancang brothers, and said, "I don't know you, I know my brother and them, their father is my uncle, you are their father, don't I have to be called uncle?" Mancang's father laughed and stretched out his hand He patted Zhang Xingming's head and said, "This kid is smart and will do well in the future."

Zhang Xingming said: "Well, uncle, you can talk to my grandma, you adults talk, the five of us can eat, okay? Is there any food? I'm hungry too." Then he asked his brother: "Are you hungry?" Brother Eyeballs had already fallen to the dining table, she nodded and said, "I'm hungry."

Grandma gave Zhang Xingming a hand and said, "This child." Mancang's father smiled and waved his hands, and said, "We are all in the same family. My nephew is not an outsider. Don't worry about it, Auntie. Mancang, go get it for your two younger brothers." A bowl of rice, you can continue to eat." Mancang agreed and went out and brought in two pairs of chopsticks.

The five brothers squeezed together at the dining table and started eating.Mancang's father is paid, and the conditions are much better than other families in the village. Five dishes, four with meat, of course, a pot of pickles and sauce is indispensable.Zhang Xingming wasn't actually hungry, but it was embarrassing to see his brother eat half of his meal, so he found a reason to let him finish his meal.Anyway, since I'm young, no one can find out why. Besides, in the last life, I lived and ate at Mancang's house. Uncles are also uncles, so why should my family be polite?

The pastry is made of mixed noodles. Corn noodles are mixed with white noodles. It is fragrant and sweet. The sauce is fish sauce. Mancang and Erhai are both grown up. They can get some fish and shrimp every day. There is never a shortage in his family. something in the river.I took a piece of pastry and broke half of it, and handed the other half to my brother, smeared it with fish sauce, and it felt so good to take a bite to the bottom of my feet.

After eating half a dumpling and a few bites of meat, Zhang Xingming put down his chopsticks, sat at the table and watched them eat. Brother, you are welcome, one bite of fish sauce and one bite of meat made him sweat.

The five children here are eating, and the grandma over there is talking to Mancang's father about his brother's going to school.

"Qingzhi came back a few days ago and said that Xiaojun is old enough to ask if you can study at your place first, and follow him for a year. He has a lot of things to do now, and the young one won't leave yet. , and I can’t take care of it. I’m here to ask you to see if it’s okay.”

Mancang's father looked at his elder brother and said, "How old are you? Six years old? I'm still crawling all over the ground in front of my eyes. It's time to go to school. It's okay. I'll come if I can believe it. Whoever I teach is not a teacher." , it’s not bad for this one, come on.”

"Then how do you calculate the tuition? You should calculate whatever you want, and don't make it difficult for you."

"What's the tuition fee? What tuition fee does my own nephew need when he comes to my school? It's okay, come on."

"Don't, it's not good to let others say something at that time, and you have to give as much as you want."

"No. Who said what? I don't take a penny from the team, I take it if I say it, and I don't take it if I say no, he, Boss Zhong, is still in charge of me?"

"Thank you so much. I took your troubles. When Qingzhi comes back, let him thank you."

"Thank you, thank you. My dad is his fourth uncle. He is his brother. They grew up together with naked buttocks. It would be heretic to say that." Mancang's dad is a relative, and he settled the matter in a few words.

The rice here is also finished, and my brother eats glibly, as if he still has more to say.Mancang's father teased him and asked, "Xiao Junzi, are you full?"

The elder brother nodded and said, "I'm full."

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, and there are so many in your house, it smells so good."

"Then don't go back, just stay at my house and eat meat every day, okay?"

My brother hesitated, looked at grandma, Mancang's father laughed again, and said: "Okay, it's settled, come when school starts, eat here at noon, and let Mancang's second child send it back at night. Is it okay, auntie?" ?”

The school thing is settled.

After eating a belly full of meat, my brother was shaking and dozing off when walking back. Grandma picked him up and dragged Zhang Xingming away.

In September, elementary school started, and my brother started to go to school with the small schoolbag sewn by his grandmother on his back.The textbook was given by Mancang's father, probably used by his family's Mancang or the second child.Only language and mathematics.I only study Chinese and mathematics.

Zhangjiabao's primary school is on the mountain behind Mancang's house, two tile-roofed houses with no sign.One is a classroom, and the other is piled with sundries.There are four grades in total, and there are four rows in one classroom, one grade per row.Mancang's dad goes to class every day, first to the first grade, and the other three grades read books by themselves. lesson.However, the progress will not lag behind, and the children can keep up by the fifth grade.Think about it, the teacher is very tired and it is not easy.

The fifth grade is about to go to the brigade. Those whose family conditions are better will spend a few dollars to let their children live in school, and those whose conditions are not good will walk back and forth for more than 20 miles every day. I only come back after dark. At noon, I have corn noodles, pickled vegetables and cold water. I carry it on my back every morning.It is said that Zhang Xingming's parents finished junior high school by walking back and forth every day.For four full years, more than [-] miles a day, how far have you traveled in total?
