Shuangshui Village is an unremarkable mountain village, located in the Loess Plateau surrounded by Hengduan Mountains. From 65438 to 0975, due to the abnormal political life of the country, many aspects of society were in a very turbulent and chaotic state. In the countryside, the life of farmers is becoming more and more difficult.
The eldest son of the poor peasant grandson is always the first in his class when he goes to school, and all the teachers in the school say that this child has a bright future. However, Sun's family was poor, and Shao An reluctantly returned to the team to participate in agricultural production after urinating, and together with his father, he provoked the burden of supporting the family. But Shao An is by no means mediocre. He has his own plans and ambitions. He will help his family and the elders in the village get rid of the poverty of several generations through his strong body and clever mind. The villagers chose him as the production captain of the first team, and even the village party secretary Tian did not dare to look down upon this young man.
Sun's eldest daughter married Wang Yinman from a foreign village. This loafer son-in-law is being dragged to the construction site for "reeducation through labor" by the commune for dumping rat poison, which has dragged the whole family to lift their heads. Lan Xiang, the second daughter, and Shao Ping, the second son, are both at school. No matter how poor the family is, we must save money and let the children learn some culture. Whenever this conversation is mentioned, Sun always feels sorry for his eldest son Shao An.
Tian's daughter is Runye, one year younger than Shao An. When I was a child, two dolls ate and slept together, regardless of you and me. When they are a little older, they go out to play together, and often take off their clothes and soak in the river to play with each other and paste mud. In the long run, two people grew up together and went to primary school together, not only in the same class, but also at the same table, which became a veritable "deskmate". After finishing high school, her work in agriculture was less, and Runye went to the county to study in middle school. After graduation, she stayed in the county as a primary school teacher and lived in Tian Fujun, the second father of Renxian Revolutionary Committee. But she never forgot her childhood friend Sun Shaoan, and took special care of Sun Shaoping, who is now in middle school in the county.
On this day, Shao Ping, who runs Ye Tuo, took a message, asking his brother to come to town sometime. Careful Shao Ping has guessed the secret. He likes Sister Runye very much and hopes that she can be his future sister-in-law. But Shao An is a little puzzled. He knows his family conditions and social status, and he doesn't want to wronged his beloved Runye. One is a farmer and the other is an "official" who eats official meals. The distance between them is too far!
But Shao An still crustily skin of head went to the county seat. Runye told him that her second uncle showed her a family. This man is Li Xiangqian, the son of another deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee. He asked Shao An to help her make up her mind. Seeing Shao An's callous reaction, he was so anxious that he cried. Since then, Runye has returned to the village many times. In the light, he works for the school, but in the dark, he will be unsafe. Kechun went to Qiu Lai, but Shao An remained the same, which made Runye fall into great pain-she struggled between marriage and free love. Tian Ziran discovered the secret, but he didn't want to interfere positively, so he used a trick and decided to secretly stop the development of the situation.
Shao An started from the vital interests of the members and fed more pig feed to each household. Originally, Tian turned a blind eye, half obeyed and pretended not to know. Now, he decided to take it as a shell to punish Sun Shaoan, and he reported it to the commune. The commune believes that Shao An's practice is to openly lead members to take the capitalist road. So the whole commune meeting was held immediately, and Sun Shaoan was publicly criticized, which brought great political pressure to the bamboo slips.
Although Sun didn't know that Runye secretly loved his big boy, he also felt that Shao An should marry a wife, so he asked his younger brother Sun Yuting and his younger sister to help him find one. Coincidentally, He's family has a niece who is far away from home, so she really doesn't want a bride price. As soon as the woman said it, she was very satisfied with Shao An's conditions. Coke broke the old couple. Shao An finally took a look at his relationship with Runye, but still felt that it was impossible to be husband and wife, so he went to Shanxi on a blind date. A month later, Shao An brought back a big girl, which opened the eyes of almost everyone in Shuangshui Village. In the Spring Festival of the following year, Shao An married this girl named Xiulian. Mr. and Mrs. Sun were relieved, and of course they also gave Tian a heart disease.
Shao 'an's marriage made Runye's heart churn like a raging wave for a long time. She is now in the "death day" after the emotional funeral. For the second mother Xu Aiyun and former mother Liu Zhiying, she seems to be able to resist repeated attacks, but when she thinks of her respected second father, Runye is puzzled. It turned out that Tian Fujun and Li, who was desperately "left", had never been together. Li won Tian Fujun over many issues with his political sense of smell. Someone enlightened and moistened the leaves If you can become Li's daughter-in-law, Li will no longer be your second father's enemy, and this county will become the unified land of Li Tian and his two families. Because of the despair of love and the love for her second dad, Runye finally agreed to marry Qianjin painfully. After marriage, the couple lived in the same room and different beds, and they lived a life with little affection from the beginning.
Shao An's younger brother Shao Ping goes to school in the county. After several years of study and life, he has both happiness and pain. Of course, the biggest gain is that he abandoned a lot of narrow-mindedness and prejudice of pure "hillbilly" and broadened his horizons. Originally among classmates, Hao Hongmei, a girl with similar situation to him, was very kind to him, but Hao Hongmei was born in a landlord family and wanted to change her position through marriage, so she gradually alienated Shao Ping, climbed the cadres' children to care about the people, and hurt Shao Ping emotionally. And * * * have the same hobbies, and make Shao Pinghe Tian Fujun's daughter, Tian Xiaoxia, a classmate of different classes, establish a pure friendship.
On the eve of graduation, Hao Hongmei stole a handkerchief from the supply and marketing cooperative because she had no money to buy souvenirs for her classmates. Others told Shao Ping about it and gave him a chance to get back at Hao Hongmei. Who knows that Shao Ping was generous, but she paid the handkerchief in full for Hao Hongmei, thus saving her reputation.
After graduation, students live far apart, and Shao Ping returned to Shuangshui Village, where he was born. It happened that Shuangshui Village School opened a junior high school class and was recommended to be a private teacher with Tian Runsheng, the son of Tian who graduated with him and returned to the village. At this time, Shao An has become a father, and Xiulian gave birth to a big fat man.
In a blink of an eye, at the beginning of 1978, Shao An heard a blacksmith who came out of Anhui to make a living, saying that their hometown had engaged in the contract responsibility system of joint production, and farmers' lives had been greatly improved now, so he intuitively divided his production team into several agricultural management groups and started a "small contract". Who knows that there is no windtight wall in the world, which immediately caused panic among some leaders in the brigade, commune and even county. Finally, the District Revolutionary Committee made a "final judgment": resolutely stop the capitalist restoration tendency of Shuangshui Village.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, there was a yangko in the countryside, and Tian Fujun returned to the village with his wife and daughter. Seeing that Shao An was not crushed, he was very pleased, so he patted Shao An on the shoulder and encouraged him meaningfully: "Work hard, I believe a brand-new situation will soon appear in the countryside."
Later, Shao An contracted the brick factory that the commune was about to close down. After making money, he invested in rebuilding Shuangshui Village Primary School. On the day of completion, county and township leaders personally attended the "inauguration ceremony". However, Shao An's wife suffered from lung cancer at this moment, and the ups and downs in life seemed to make Shao An feel it.
