It was dark the next day, around four or five o'clock, someone in the village found Ma San.

He is dead.

He was hung up on a tree, his wrists were blue, his body was straight and straight, his eyes were staring straight, his body was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and he didn't wear pants underneath.

But he didn't freeze to death. A sharpened thin bamboo tube was stuck in Ma San's heart. Blood flowed out from the bamboo tube and fell to the ground, forming a small pool of blood.When he was found in the morning, his blood had already solidified into a dark red color, and his body was cold and had already lost its temperature.

He was naked and bloody, the thing had been pierced with bamboo sticks, and the cotton trousers on the ground were covered with blood and hoarfrost.Next to it was his usual kettle, which was empty and covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Ma San's family wept loudly, and the villagers talked about it.

This looks like a murder case, but I don't know who has such hatred with him.Although there are many conflicts in the village, under the mediation of the elders these years, the conflicts rarely reach the point of killing people.The elders in the village are generally fair and very reassuring.

No one suspected the educated youths in the village. Ma San and the educated youths did not meet each other, and they could all prove to each other that they did not go out yesterday.

Although some people said that Ma San's personal style is not very good, and the expressions of the young girls and female educated youths in the village are not right, but no one was really hurt.We rule out this possibility.Many people suspected that there was conflict between the village and the Masan family.

The county police came, but the scene was almost destroyed, so we could only check who had conflicts with Ma San. The last investigation was trivial, and everyone had an alibi, although these The certificates were all given by relatives and friends, which was not in compliance with the rules.

The policemen who came here searched for several days but couldn't find the murderer, but they ate several chickens in the village, and the team leader was very distressed.

If the murderer can't be found, this matter has to be let go.Because Ma San died violently, the elders in the village said that such a person could not be buried in the ancestral grave after his death, so he chose another grave and hurriedly buried him.

It's been a long time, after two or three months, the work at hand has increased, and even Ma San's wife no longer talks about her dead ghost husband. Although there are fewer men, there is also one less uncle who has to serve and beat others. It may not be good for their family. It was a bad thing, so the village gradually forgot about it.

During this period, Zhao Ming could do whatever he wanted, but he didn't feel too much fear.Obviously, he was also involved in this matter, but his heart was unexpectedly calm, and he even felt a little relieved.

It's great to die, and I won't harm anyone anymore.

He probably knew that something was wrong with his mentality, so he couldn't tell the details.Generally speaking, if I may indirectly cause the death of others, I feel guilty to some extent in my heart. Zhaoming... Zhaoming touched his chest, let go of the guilt, he was very relaxed and happy, and slept very peacefully.

But the female director's family was not as calm as Zhaoming.On the third day after the incident, the woman director's honest husband found a very awkward reason to give Zhaoming a jar of five-year-old rice wine and a roll of wine prescriptions written on silk.

Because Zhaoming brewed a lot of fruit wine, many people thought he liked it. The female director probably gave the old rice wine and wine recipe because of this.

The silk is as thin as a cicada's wing, and after being folded, it can be stuffed into a medicine bottle the size of a thumb, but it is as big as a square meter when opened.According to the husband of the women's director, this thing was accidentally found from the interlayer of a wooden box when he was fighting against the landlord.

The female director is literate. At first, she wanted to try to see if she could make it herself. Later, she saw that the simplest kind of wine required more than a dozen ingredients, and many of the ingredients could not be found, so she pressed her mind.His family has already copied a copy, and the original was given to Zhaoming by borrowing flowers to present Buddha.

Zhaoming opened it and took a look. Apart from grains, fruits and herbs, the ingredients used in it also included some animal bones, flesh and blood, horns, and certain minerals.The names and functions of these wine recipes are also varied, and it is a bit mysterious to say it.

Among them, the most common one is 'monkey wine', which needs to use more than 30 kinds of fruits, half of which are wild fruits that are rarely heard of, which can nourish the body and prolong life.The second is 'Peach Blossom Wine', the main ingredient is peach blossom, the flower dew collected from the petals of peach blossom is the auxiliary ingredient, brewed with more than a dozen precious medicinal materials, it can beautify the face.

There are also 'Dragon's Blood Wine', 'Three Days Drunk', 'Kasuga Yaki' and so on, asking for more.

Did the ancients bother people so much for drinking in one sip?

The old wine brought by the female director's house, Zhaoming had been waiting for this year's Chinese New Year to drink, and when a large table of people had a New Year's Eve dinner, it was warmed up and drunk to warm their stomachs.In the end, it was not as good as people's calculations, and it was opened in early spring before it was kept until the Chinese New Year.

His grandfather asked someone to pass a message to him, saying that his mother had a girlfriend, and the girlfriend was the surgeon with the child.Zhaoming was taken aback. He asked for leave to go there. His mother was very embarrassed, but his grandfather said, please Zhaoming don't blame his mother. After all these years, his mother and the father and son are missing one , Looking at it, it looks right, but I just don't feel the nerve to talk about it.

Also a few days ago, the doctor himself had a cold and almost passed away. Zhaoming's mother stayed with him for three days, changed the towel on his forehead, and fed him brown sugar and millet porridge. The relationship between the two quickly warmed up.After that, they punctured the layer of window paper. After all, they are so old, how many days are left to live?Scruples about this and that, how can I live in this life?

The only thing Zhaoming's mother can't let go of is Zhaoming. She feels that she is already very sorry for this child. If Zhaoming disagrees, then forget it.

But grandma and grandpa don't want their daughters to be single for the rest of their lives. They are enlightened parents and don't encourage women to guard this way for men.If the ex-son-in-law is fine, it's fine, it's not worth it if Zhaoming's own father is like that.

They sent a letter to Zhaoming, asking for his opinion.

When Zhaoming heard it, it was very good, as long as they wanted to, after all, life is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.His mother was originally lifeless, but now she is in her second spring, her eyes are different, very bright.These two people have similar experiences, and they are both of mixed blood. They can also be called a good match, so they should be able to be happy.

He said yes, his mother said yes, and immediately married herself.

They are all second marriages, and they are all sent down, and the marriages are also quietly married.Zhaoming gave away a chicken and a big grass carp, and held a jar of old wine in his arms. His mood was so complicated that he married off his own mother, and then added a stepfather and a younger brother.

The stepfather didn't have much on him, they came in a hurry, and there were no relatives or friends with them there, and the little money was entrusted to Zhaoming in exchange for an old watch.

Both father and son felt embarrassed, because the foreign face had suffered a lot, and they couldn't afford any dowry right now. They only had a small golden key in their hands, which was said to have been passed down from their ancestors and given to Zhaoming's mother.Zhaoming's mother also doesn't have much money, but when the grandfather came, he brought something, a pair of Dongzhu earrings, which he said came from the previous palace.

Holding the remaining half jar of old wine, Zhaoming felt very emotional. His mother looked very happy, but he seemed to be letting go of a heavy burden, but he was also worried. Thinking about the future life of this half-way couple, they learned one by one. Xuexi, do you have a common topic in the future?Will there be any contradictions?Will there be conflicts with that little brother?

After thinking about it a lot, it's like marrying a daughter.

But in the end, I was very happy for her. After all, his father is unreliable, and his mother is not the kind of strong type who can live brilliantly alone, so he can still find a good partner in this kind of place. Zhaoming is also happy for her.

It's a pity that this kind of joy cannot be shared. He can't tell others that the person who was sent down there is my own mother, and she is married again.

The joy cannot be shared, so the wine has to be shared.

Five-year-aged rice wine, another name is Huadiao, which is particularly mellow.It's just that it was not brewed well when it was brewed, and it was slightly sour.Comrade Xiao Yu tasted it and said that the wine is pure glutinous rice wine, which is very nourishing. Let's make rice wine and beat eggs.Everyone drinks a bowl to expel the cold and humidity accumulated in winter.

When everyone heard that there was wine, it was still a good grain wine, but no matter how it came, they clamored to eat the big family, and even those who could not drink also booed.

Their group of educated youths has always been harmonious, and those who have money give money and are able to work hard, and those who have skills give skills, and try to be as fair as possible.

Xiaoyu educated youth and Zhaoming educated youth often use their private houses to subsidize everyone, so the food they hand in every month is halved.In this way, everyone will not feel uncomfortable when drinking Comrade Xiaoyu's sour plum soup and eating Zhaoming's salted goose eggs.

Now that Zhaoming said he was going to drink this bowl of wine, everyone just hahaha, and didn't feel that he was taking advantage of others.

Fairness is the best way to prevent internal conflicts.

Zhaoming boiled the old wine, and the burnt rice wine was more mellow, less sour and richer in taste, and after a while the fragrance wafted away for miles, making the wine bugs in the village greedy.

An old alcoholic in the village had the cheek to come to the door with a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of pickled mud snails. While smelling the smell, he went to the kitchen and put the things in his hand on the table.

"Uncle Huangyang, I knew you were coming." An old educated youth pulled him to sit down.

"Good wine, good wine. Is this going to be burned? Can you let your uncle take a sip?"

"You brought all the appetizers, what else can I do without you?"

Uncle Huangyang is a craftsman in the village. He can lay foundations, build beams, burn bricks and plaster. Everyone looks for him when they build a house. He has decades of old craftsmanship and has no other hobbies in his life. With good wine, he smelled it and went.

Because he didn't go to the field, his work points were exchanged for money, so he had a lot of money in hand, and he was willing to bring out some good appetizers. Everyone didn't feel annoyed when they saw him come to drink.

After a while, Zhaoming came out with a soup pot, and Xiaohua held a stack of blue and white porcelain bowls, "Divide the wine and eat while it's hot."

There is a pot of rice wine, and three eggs that I just touch today, each can get half a bowl.Even though it's only half a bowl, those wine worms are willing to let themselves eat this kind of grain wine only once a year, Uncle Huang Yang's eyes are bright.

"The color of this wine is so clear, and the aroma is so strong, it must be more than three years old rice wine." Uncle Huangyang finished commenting on the color and aroma, took a sip, and just touched the tip of his tongue, his expression relaxed, "After burning, the taste is stronger, hot and spicy. Once the shredded egg is soaked in wine, it tastes like drinking. It's a pity that the portion is not large, otherwise your uncle can eat two catties alone."

Those who can drink think it’s good, but those who don’t know how to drink will get angry after taking a sip, and smoke will come out from all seven orifices, “It’s still spicy for me.”

A female educated youth took a big sip, pinched her nose and took a few breaths, "It's spicy and choking, and the smell of the wine penetrates into the internal organs, ouch, tears are about to fall out. However, after taking this sip, the body relaxes a little bit." As expected, it is food and wine to support people."

Zhaoming brought some brown sugar from the house and sprinkled some in the bowl of the educated youth who couldn't drink.

The female educated youth stirred up the brown sugar with chopsticks, melted it, and took another sip, "This way it will taste much better."

"That's how you don't know how to eat wine." Uncle Huang Yang couldn't help but said, with a distressed expression on his face, "Look at you little comrade, it's not like you don't understand, why don't you feel sorry? The old wine was ruined by you It's gone." He said Zhaoming, Zhaoming was not angry, but still smiled.

Uncle Huang Yang was not really angry with him. After all, he knew that this was a wine maker, and the wine he made was quite delicious.Lu Zhaoming brought out a few jars of wine during the Chinese New Year. In addition to the educated youths who wanted to eat, some people who had good friends in the village also gave some.

That's when Uncle Huangyang found out about this, he came uninvited, and insisted on ordering tiles for the educated youth to repair the walls, and then he took two catties of wine away.

The point of their educated youths is not just the wine that attracts people. Every time Comrade Xiaoyu brews all kinds of sauces, the village aunt has the cheek to exchange a few jars. There is also the old educated youth who taught himself how to repair machinery. If something breaks in the village, please ask He went to have a look. Generally, it can be repaired with three or five strokes. If the repair is not good, he will find an agricultural machinery technician to repair it.

When you come and go, the feelings between the two sides become more and more blended. Compared with the smog in other villages, the educated youths and villagers in their village get along like an ideal model. Just like this, the captain was praised several times when he went to the commune meeting Once, other villages wanted to ask him to give his advice and experience.

The captain doesn't have any experience to talk about, he just has a good life, and all the educated youths who come to their village don't make trouble.

"By the way, there are still educated youths coming to our village this year. Do you know about this?" Uncle Huangyang said, "The captain is afraid that you won't be able to live here, so I will build another side house for the village when I go back."

In fact, the educated youths live here quite well. Generally, there are four or five people in a room, but Zhaoming's room is only three. There is no problem of not being able to live, but it will be crowded.But since the village has this idea, everyone doesn't stop it. Who doesn't want to live in a more spacious place?

"That's good. Just trouble the village."

"What's the trouble? We're here to help, can you not pay for the meal?" Uncle Huang Yang laughed twice, "I don't know how many people want to come to eat Comrade Xiao Yu's craftsmanship."

In the early summer of [-], when it was about to enter the busiest time, another wave of educated youths came to the city.There were three people who came to their village, two women and one man, one of them was very beautiful, as delicate and beautiful as a blooming crabapple, holding an accordion in her hand, singing, with the innocence of a girl.

The village held a welcoming party, and Zhaoming welcomed the new members on behalf of the old educated youths. When he stood on the stage, everyone thought he was going to make a long speech, but in the end he said, "We are all friends here, who will bully you in the future?" , I'll beat him up for you."

There was a hahaha laugh at the bottom, and everyone didn't blame him for his bad words, it was very lively.

In fact, everyone was quite worried at the beginning, such a beautiful little girl, don't cause fights among the originally harmonious educated youth and the young people in the village.You know, in other villages, the beautiful female educated youths are the best, and they are troublesome and troublesome.There are also beautiful educated youths in their village, but this group of people always come and go, and they rarely get alone, and they don't often interact with the youths in the village, so there is actually no conflict.

But this new female educated youth is really too beautiful to say something unkind.Compared with the girls in the village, the female educated youths are all white swans, but compared with this female educated youth, they are pheasants.

Among other things, let's just say that the newly arrived male educated youth just sat with this little girl, and the brilliance of love flashed in his eyes.

In fact, not only the villagers are worried, but the educated youth are also worried.You said that they get along well, almost like family members, but there are two noisy people here, who can't see each other when they look up, are they annoying?

The old comrade's worries were not unreasonable, and indeed there was a worrying situation.The only thing they didn't expect was that it wasn't the beautiful female educated youth they were worried about that had the problem, but another female educated youth.

As soon as the three newcomers were struggling to work, the team leader arranged the lightest and cheapest work for them.Zhaoming and the others came down the same way, they just gritted their teeth and resisted, waiting for the blisters on their hands to turn into calluses layer by layer, and life will be easier.

Just because they can grit their teeth and resist without looking for someone to take them to bed, the villagers feel that Zhaoming and others are sensible young people, and the old educated youths also think that they can get along so harmoniously if they can take them with them. It is not that family is better than family .

That pretty little girl was surnamed He, and her family might be very pampered, but she really couldn't bear the hardship, and she could do four or five work points in a day, which was worse than some seven or eight-year-old girls in the village.

But this squeamish little girl is at least a little bit good, especially self-aware, and she doesn't rely on her beauty to let people do things for her.Since you can't do it, then do less and take your time.

She came with her, the female educated youth who was more than beautiful but not beautiful, the comrade surnamed Bai, to put it bluntly, she was simply a 'skillful'.Whether it's gay or lesbian, you shake your head when you say it.

Some people are easy to meet but difficult to get along with.
