In 1998, when the flood had just subsided, my father, a rural veteran who was too ordinary to be ordinary, was captured by the police. When my father was captured, he only said to my mother that he would let the children study, and if they didn't study, they would have no future.
At my mother's insistence, I didn't drop out of school, and then went to high school in the town. I thought it was useless to study in the town's garbage high school. I might as well work early, but my mother slapped me twice and pulled me back to school.
In the year of 2000, I took the college entrance examination and only took the college entrance examination of a vocational college. This is also a college student!
I went to the town to get the admission notice, but I still worried when I returned home. This kind of university is not enough. It is too expensive. My mother, in order to support me to study, started from greed and blackness, and forced a big living person to become a big animal.
I went back to the village from the town and passed a forestry checkpoint, which is the boundary of our village. A little yellow millet field was on the roadside. When the wind blew, the full golden ears of grain swayed with the wind, which was very beautiful.
But I'm tired of this kind of scenery. I just want to go home and tell my mother not to read it anymore. I want to go out to work. Working in the city is better than farming at home.
Suddenly, I heard a strange hum from the millet field. I thought it was a wild boar. It seems that the wild boar is not big. If we can catch it back, we can eat some and sell some, which will be a subsidy for our family.
I picked up a stick and rushed into the millet field. Then I saw a piece of millet field was flattened, with several clothes on it. A black and strong man was pressing on a woman.
The man of Heizhuang is Wang Yongfu of our village, and also my classmate in primary and middle schools. Because he is Heizhuang, he has been a bully in the village since he was 16 years old. After the popular broadcast of the old man in the video room, Wang Yongfu called himself Big Brother Fu, claiming that he covered the whole village.
The woman is Mrs. Yunxia, the daughter-in-law of my neighbor Wang Laosan. She was married from the next village last year. She is very beautiful and slim. She doesn't have the appearance of rural women with thick waist and fat buttocks. She also likes taking baths. I overheard her twice, so that her bathing figure repeatedly appeared in my sleep for quite a long time.
When I threw the stick, I was about to run. Wang Yongfu had already jumped up and kicked me into the grain field with his foot on my head, almost stepping my head into the soil. When I turned my head sideways, I could see that Mrs. Yunxia was wearing clothes slowly.
"Damn it, I thought I could pretend to be forced in front of me when I became a college student. Nobody knows if I killed you here!" Wang Yongfu shouted, his feet were heavier, and my head was about to explode.
Wang Yongfu is born with a rough and aggressive nature. I was bullied by Wang Yongfu when I was young. Every time I saw him, I would have a fear in my heart. I begged for mercy, and even said I would never dare again.
Wang Yongfu pulled me up and patted me on the face. His big black, fat and ugly face was full of terrible anger.
"Kid, let your moves be bright and don't make trouble for yourself, or I will dig out your moves!"
I lowered my head and shrunk my face, but Wang Yongfu's slap still fell on my face. I quickly said that I had seen nothing and knew nothing.
When Wang Yongfu saw that I knew what I was looking for, he didn't embarrass me any more. As soon as he let go, I hurried away from the place of right and wrong. Behind him came Mrs. Yunxia's giggling laughter and Wang Yongfu's triumphant voice, which meant that I wouldn't dare to speak out even if I dared!
I was gnashing my teeth with hatred in my heart. It's not my fault that you Wang Yongfu made a married woman, and Mrs. Yunxia stole people behind her back. Why should you frighten me.
I can't afford to be provoked, can't I hide? When I work in the city to earn money, I will take my mother over and go to the city to live a good life together. The small village will be left to you to continue to dominate. Wang Yongfu will be the life of the village bully all his life!
I never realized that my thoughts at this time were very similar to Ah Q. At least the spirit victory method made me feel much better.
When I returned home, I handed the admission notice to my mother. I said I was useless. I didn't even pass three exams, so I took an examination of a pheasant vocational college. The tuition is expensive. It's better to go to the city to work instead of studying.
Before I finished my words, my mother picked up a broom and slapped me shamelessly. Since my father was captured, my mother has been extremely strict in my discipline. The most intuitive way for rural people to discipline their children is to beat. I am also used to beating.
"What's wrong with junior college? Even if it's a junior college, it's also a college student. Even if it's a smash, Mom will tell you!"
"What if I gave it up? Now the undergraduates are not responsible for the distribution. The iron rice bowl has been broken long ago. As a junior college student, I didn't live and die by myself in the end!" I yelled.
My mother threw away the broom, glared at me, and cried out with red eyes: "Then you have a higher education than the average person. After you enter the society, your starting point is higher than others! You are not allowed to go anywhere during the holiday when you are honest. You don't need to worry about tuition and living expenses!"
My mother did what she said, and then went to the cement factory in the town to do odd jobs. A bag of cement weighing 100 kg can carry two bags at a time. Every day when she comes back, she is covered with cement ash.
The cement mortar mixed with sweat is dry and solidified on the body, so it can't be washed down in the bath. Once it is peeled off, it will take off a layer of skin, revealing pink flesh and blood, until the skin is thick and the cocoon is full. When the cement shell is peeled off again, it will reveal the new and tender skin like a chicken with flowers pulling off the mud shell.
