The first part talks about the village woman Chun and Mei in the late seventies of the last century, and the son of the brigade secretary had an unbearable affair. felt three points shorter in front of everyone, and the husbands of the two also felt that they had lost face, and there was a nameless fire in their hearts.
Chun's husband, nicknamed Donkey, has a paranoid and stubborn personality and a short temper. Ever since this despicable thing happened to Haru, he looked at Haru like a fly buzzing in front of his eyes. He picks bones in spring eggs and blows floating soil for cracks. Foul language all day long, if there is half a sentence in the spring, it will attract a burst of punches and kicks.
The donkey's violence against spring is full of tricks, and humanity is completely lost. Sometimes the combination of hands and feet is not enjoyable, but also use sticks, brooms and other tools, the donkey is ruthless, can break the broom, the stick discount. You can't wear short-sleeved shirts in spring and summer because there are always injuries on your body. Sometimes his face was bruised and blackened by a donkey, and he had to wear a scarf and a mask when he went out in the spring. There were a few times when Chun couldn't stand it and ran back to his parents' house, but his sister-in-law didn't want to see him and sneered.
The previous intimacy between the husband and wife remained, and only the abuse of the donkey remained. This kind of day makes spring suffer a lot, and the days are like years. One day my son, who was in first grade, came back crying and his head was broken by a classmate. Because his classmates scolded his mother for being "broken shoes", his son and his classmates worked hard. When the donkey saw this, he beat him again. The big one cried, the little one screamed, and the house became a mess.
When the hot summer came, it rained for two or three days in a row, and the back of the village became a vast ocean, and the spring disappeared at this time. The family searched everywhere but there was no trace, and a few days later, Haru's body was found floating on the water behind the village, and Chun's family was immediately notified. Chun's parents wept so much that it was dark when they saw the deformed corpse, and Chun's two children also cried and cried, only the donkey smoked silently without saying a word. The house was shrouded in clouds, and people were overwhelmed.
Mei's situation is better than Chun's, and her husband Zhuzi is a diligent and capable person with a gentle personality. Since something like this happened to Mei, he no longer has the enthusiasm he used to have. He used to take care of most of the housework, and he was judged to be two people before the accident, and he became the shopkeeper at home. The work at home is all on Mei, Mei has done a day's farm work, and has to take care of all the housework, she is tired and miserable. And Zhuzi was so drunk all day that he fell asleep and barely communicated with Mei.
Mei Ben was a sentimental person who was physically and mentally exhausted all day, and after a few years he developed mental problems and was diagnosed with intermittent mental disorder. At that time, the village implemented the contract responsibility system of joint production, and the fields were distributed to each family. The pillars went to work in the fields and went out late and returned early, which was perfunctory. When Chun had a psychotic attack, he ran around the village, babbling "I shouldn't eat Dalin's sugar ......", and pumping his mouth with his hand. When other people's lives are prosperous and prosperous, their fields are barren and grassy, and the yield is extremely low, and life is stretched. Due to the lack of money to treat Mei, her mental illness became more and more serious.
When another cold winter comes, May's psychosis attacks again, and she disappears. At that time, information was not developed, and I searched all the surrounding villages, but I didn't see her shadow. One month, two months, one year, two years...... , there was no trace of Mei again.
