Millstone Under the Eaves

In the summer of 1996, on the wheat field in Yanggou Village, southwestern Shandong Province, adults were busy pressing and threshing wheat. Today is Sunday, and brother and sister Ma Donglai and Masisi are enjoying their rare snacks - instant noodles and calcium milk biscuits next to Yidan Wheat Straw. I can only buy one or two packs during the busy autumn season when my parents are playing field and their children are eating snacks nearby. Occasionally, I will meet generous friends who can share sodas with them. This is the happy time of childhood. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
