In the past, there was always a popular saying in the countryside: the poor do not sell the watchdogs, and the rich do not kill the cattle in the cultivated land.
It can be seen that the status of cultivated cattle in the minds of everyone in the countryside, cattle are a symbol of wealth, and the more cattle raised, the richer the family.
Today's story takes place in a remote rural area in the last century, where the villagers have been farming for many years to survive, which can be said to be dependent on the sky to eat.
At that time, there was no agricultural machinery in the village, and all the cultivated land depended on cattle, which were an important labor force in the village and were closely related to the harvest in the field.
In the 1970s, the rural areas began to divide production to households, and the team raised more than a dozen cows to distribute to the villagers according to the population.
The boy Terujin and the girl Orchid grew up in a young plum bamboo horse, the relationship between the two families is also very good, after growing up, the two are tired of being together all day, and it is only a matter of time before they become relatives.
Because there are many people in the village and few cattle, it is generally a cow shared by several families, and Zhaojin and the orchid family share a cow, and the village chief relies on his authority to monopolize a cow in his own family.
The cow had laid its calves, and the calves were occupied by the village chief, so that the village chief's family suddenly had two cows.
Everyone was very red-eyed when they saw it, but because of the authority of the village chief, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
After the Cattle were distributed to the Zhaojin and Orchid Families, they carefully waited every day, and when they saw that it was about to be the season of cultivation, they did not dare to be idle.
The village chief has a mute daughter named Jojo, who has always been in love with Terujin, and in order to please Jojo, he brings the family calf to him and wants to give it to him.
But Zhaojin didn't appreciate it at all, he had been dealing with the village chief, how could he ask the village chief's family for things.
The village chief knew his daughter's mind, and Zhaojin was indeed a good boy, but he was arrogant, how could he possibly look up to a dumb girl.
Besides, Orchid and Zhaojin have long been privately determined for life, and it is not so easy to let them disperse, and the village chief comforted his daughter and said that he would definitely find a better family for her in the future.
But Jojo only had a shot in his heart, determined not to marry him in this life, but compared with the orchid, Jojo had no chance of winning.
Orchid is shrewd and capable, and is a good way to live a good life, and many young men in the village like her.
Erxi is one of them, this day Erxi invited the matchmaker to go to Orchid's house to propose to him, Orchid directly refused in public, she only had to shine in her heart, and others did not consider it at all.
Erxi did not give up and decided to compete with Terujin, as long as Orchid did not marry for a day, he would not give up for a day.
On this day, I went out to herd cattle, orchids were idle and accompanied him, the two herded cattle is a fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to date.
They came to a hillside, no one around, lonely men and widows, young and vigorous two people could not help but hug each other.
Sweet times always passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark, and when Zhaojin got up from the ground, he suddenly found that the cow was gone.
The two were shocked, and began to look for cattle in the mountains, and Zhaojin's father got the news and also brought the villagers to look for them.
Everyone searched all night, but never found a trace of the cow, and The father was angry and slapped the light hard.
This cow is the hope of the two families, and now that the cow is gone, how will the future be lived?
Seeing the season of cultivation, the other people in the village began to cultivate the land with their cattle, and the Zhaojin and Orchid families had no cattle and could only rely on people to pull plows to cultivate the land.
Under the scorching sun, the two orchid sisters pulled the plow rake and walked forward step by step, there were many stones in the field to increase the resistance, relying on human land to cultivate the land, I don't know when it will be finished.
While the family was sighing, Erxi led his own cattle over, and in order to curry favor with the orchids, he planned to use the cattle he had allocated to help the orchid family cultivate the land.
Orchid was also not polite, and asked Erxi if she could cultivate the land that had been taken into the house.
Of course, Erxi, who gave the love enemy to cultivate the land, did not agree, this cow is the lifeblood of the peasants, if it is not a good relationship, who is willing to give it to others.
Orchid was a little angry when she saw it, and directly ignored Erxi and ran to take care of the family to help.
Since losing the cow, Zhaojin's heart is a belly fire, thinking that if it were not for the orchid to talk to him, he would not have lost the cow, saying that it was all a strange orchid.
After a day of work in the field, shine into the shoulders to draw out a strip of blood marks, cultivating the land is too exhausting, today is considered to survive, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?
As a farmer, without cattle, their family can live in the future.
At this time, It happened that Erxi was passing by, and he gave Zhaojin an idea, saying that the village chief had cattle in his house, and there was more than one, and if you really wanted cows, it was not simple.
Terujin quickly heard the meaning of Erxi's words, but Jojo was a mute, he thought he was a great guy, and he felt that if he married Jojo, he would be too bad.
At night, Terujin sneaked to the village chief's house, lying on the wall to look inside, Jojo was feeding the cattle, and although Jojo could not speak, he still looked very handsome.
Zhaojin stared eagerly at the cattle in the yard, his eyes eager to glow.
When he returned home, he quickly convinced himself that if he married Jojo, he would be able to have two cows at once.
A few days later, Erxi found Orchid and said that he was going to work in the city, although Orchid still refused to accept him, but he would try to make money and try to become someone Orchid liked.
Compared with the optimistic and self-motivated Erxi, The other side of the Zhaojin has already eaten soft rice with peace of mind.
In the past, he didn't answer Jojo's love, but now he became extremely attentive and ran to the village chief's house when he had nothing to do.
Orchid is very angry when she sees this, and she finds Terujin and asks Jojo what is better than her that can make Terujin so fascinated.
Terujin answered only one word: cow. This word heard Orchid speechlessly choked, discouraged, and ran home crying.
A month later, under the auspices of the village chief, Terujin and Qiao Qiao held a wedding, and the village chief was very satisfied with the son-in-law and directly sent two cows as dowry to Zhaojin's home.
On the day of his wedding, Terujin was very happy because he finally got the cow he dreamed of.
The infatuated Orchid was not willing, and quietly sneaked into the house at night, and she also had a little illusion about Itin, hoping that he could change his mind.
Through the window paper orchid saw Thatrijin and Jojo were about to spend the night of the candle in the cave, her illusion was completely shattered, and tears slowly blurred her eyes.
Orchid blames the cow for all this, thinking that if there were no cows, Terujin would not leave her.
An angry Orchid took the scythe and rushed into the cowshed and slashed at the calf.
Zhaojin heard the movement and ran out to check, he saw Orchid holding a scythe, and he was so frightened that he sat in the grass, afraid that Orchid would do something stupid.
Orchid was extremely disappointed, and she coldly watched Zhaojin stand for a long time...
The next day, Jojo found the wound on the cow while herding the cow, Jojo knew who had done it, but she didn't say anything, she could understand the hatred in Orchid's heart, but pity the cow.
The village chief was such a daughter as Jojo, and he was afraid that her daughter would be bullied in the house, so he tried to please his son-in-law.
With the help of the village chief, Zhaojin got a batch of high-quality cattle from the town at a very low price, and the money used to buy the cattle was also paid by the village chief.
It was quite comfortable to eat into this soft rice, and he almost effortlessly set up a cattle farm.
Jojo is busy every day, she does all the dirty work, and Zhaojin becomes a hand-waving treasurer, and every day she knows to give orders at home.
In his eyes, the village chief and Jojo seemed to owe him, and the father couldn't look at him anymore, scolding his son for being a white-eyed wolf, and Jojo for being a good daughter-in-law, and they couldn't have no conscience and treat people badly.
But at this time, Zhaojin had already cocked his tail into the sky, and he thought that he was the head of the cattle farm, and whoever had the farm chief personally worked, and now that he had so many cattle in his hands, even if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't starve to death.
And the virtuous Jojo still has no complaints or regrets, and is busy at home after busy work.
There are many women in the village who are jealous of Jojo and often get together to secretly say bad things about her, and whenever this happens, Orchid will stand up and stop it.
Now that she had let go of The Light, Jojo was a kind woman who couldn't bully honest people.
Sanrai in the village is now working on the cattle farm in Zhaojin, Sanrai has a big grinning and lively personality, he happened to be seen by Zhaojin when he was joking with Orchid, and when he saw his ex-girlfriend and other men together, Zhaojin was immediately ashamed and angry, and angrily drove Sanrai away.
Now Terujin feels that he has money and wants to recapture Orchid's heart, but the more so, the more Orchid looks down on Terujin.
Originally abandoned orchids for two cows, and now you want to be good with others? And the money taken in was all earned by Jojo's father, and now he even has the face to betray Jojo, this man is simply shameless, and hypocritical and conceited.
Zhaojin's pursuit of orchids is unsuccessful, and he vents his anger on Jojo and goes home to throw a tantrum at Jojo. Honest Jojo did not dare to refute it, and could only secretly shed tears silently alone.
The village chief heard that his daughter was angry, and the next day he ran to question Terujin, but he did not expect that Zhaojin's waist was now hard, and he actually let the old man take Jojo home, and said that he could not raise a big miss here.
Seeing that the two people were about to quarrel, the sensible Jojo persuaded his father to return home.
At this time, Orchid just happened to pass by, heard the conversation of several people, and after this incident, she completely saw the true face of Zhaojin, and was glad that she did not marry such a person.
A few days later, Erxi returned from working in the city, and after more than a year of not seeing Erxi, he had changed greatly, and he was much more mature and stable.
By going to the city to work, Erxi saved some money, he did not plan to go back, decided to stay in the village to set up a mushroom farming base, leading the whole village to get rich together.
Orchid was very happy, and after seeing people's hearts for a long time, after so many things, she knew that Erxi was the man who was really worth relying on.
In the face of Erxi's confession again, Orchid shyly agreed, and the two worked together with full energy, and the breeding base was soon built.
Even the township mayor rushed over to congratulate him, and on this big day, Erxi and Orchid took care of the marriage together.
The people of the village praised the orchid for being blessed and married to such a capable man.
On the night the two became intimate, Terujin suddenly launched a drunken madness, watching his ex-girlfriend marry someone else, he was crazy with jealousy, thinking that if it were not for the cow, he would not have lost the orchid.
When He returned home, he vented his anger on the cow, and he took a stick and whipped the cow hard.
At this time, he did not think about how much work this old cow had done for him and how much effort he had contributed.
Finally, in the case of him beating to death, the old cow was enraged, directly broke free of the rope, and began to fight back.
Frightened, he ran in and out, and the old cow chased after him, and when he saw that he was about to catch up, Jojo suddenly rushed out and blocked in front of Zhaojin.
The old cow did not have time to brake, and flew Qiao Qiao out of the top fiercely, and Qiao Qiao was seriously injured and stopped breathing that night.
The village chief looked at his daughter who had lost his breath and cried so hard that he beat his chest and kicked his feet, but he looked away and harmed his daughter for a lifetime.
The angry village chief reported the low-priced cattle purchase to the township, and when Zhaojin's crime was exposed, the township directly confiscated his cattle farm.
Once again, Zhaojin turned back into a poor egg with nothing, and the people in the village also saw his ugly true face, and they all felt that he deserved it.
This is the story in the domestic drama movie "Crazy Man and Woman and Cow" released in 1994, although the times are different now, but there are still many people who shine into this kind of person, selfish, thin and widowed, but pity Jojo such a good girl.
