Haystacks in Cold Autumn
About This Novel
Everyone in Zhang Village knew that the second master of the Zhang family was black and skinny. Everyone in Zhang Village also knew that the second master of the Zhang family was not born as black as Heiyu. The black fish is only black on the back, and the belly is white, but the second master of the Zhang family has the same color on his belly and back: black. It was okay in the winter, as he was wrapped up in his clothes. But when the summer came, the second son of the Zhang family was so thin and dark, his skin was like paper spread with tung oil resting on his bones. Only after drinking five bowls of barley porridge in a meal did his stretched belly show a slight yellowish skin. He always likes to wear a pair of large, patched black pants all year round. People in the village said that where the second master of the Zhang family stood, from a distance, he looked like a black brick erected on the pile of an old locust tree. In an era when the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America were beating war drums, the people of Zhang Village did not know who gave the second master of the Zhang family a nickname: Second Master Congo.
