Li Guihua rolled out her dough again and said: "Hit me and scold me, but I don't look at the outside world if I don't beat or scold him! I just blame him and his son, they are both dead tendons!" She also told me that a few years ago, Shi Bin also had the opportunity to go out, but he gave up the opportunity to others. The people in the village knew that he was knowledgeable and educated, so they kept choosing him as their leader. In front of the leader, he himself felt that he had sold himself to the village. He is a stubborn person who cannot manage the village well. If the superiors say something is not allowed, he will not let it happen. If the superiors say something is permissible, he will immediately say yes. As she spoke, Li Guihua actually cried and said that Shi Bin had been beaten several times because of the land division and family planning, and even after the beatings, he still had such a tough temper. "Hey, if you are such a good guy, you will stay like that for the rest of your life!" Li Guihua concluded in the end. Retreating to the yard, I thought again, I can't say that Shi Bin has not changed at all. For example, my friend was caught by his son, and he had already taken the initiative to smooth things over. Liu Huizhen, Huang Guoqing, Xing Chao... What will our youth group do in the future? Do Shi Bin and Li Guihua have any contact with them? Just when I wanted to ask Li Guihua again, voices came from the village road - Shi Bin came back with a few of my friends talking and laughing.

The first time Zhou Hongxuan and Wu Shuangchen met, they were attracted by roasted sweet potatoes. One early morning in the autumn of that year, a sleepy-eyed Zhou Hongxuan walked onto the street. On the first day of registration at the county science and technology bureau, not to mention not having a place to live, even food had to be taken care of by myself. He spent the night on the sofa in the office last night, tossing and turning in a restless sleep. He finally looked forward to dawn, and his stomach growled with hunger. He didn't know where to look for other breakfast stalls. When he turned a crossroad, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes hit his nostrils. Uncle, do you have any baked sweet potatoes? Zhou Hongxuan asked yawning. What do you look like? An uncle appeared out of nowhere? My daughter-in-law is still being raised at my mother-in-law's house. When I hear you call me that, I feel like half of my life has been in vain.

Huang Naonao thought about it all night, and at dawn, Aunt Eight, who used to live in the east end of the village, suddenly entered his mind. The eighth aunt was definitely a woman, but Huang Naonao thought that the eighth aunt had no ambiguous thoughts. Besides, the eighth aunt was probably older than his mother. It was a pity that his mother had passed away long ago, but the eighth aunt was still alive and well. He couldn't even figure out what the eighth aunt's name was, nor why it was ranked eighth. People in the village had called her eighth aunt and eighth aunt for many years, and the title of eighth aunt replaced everything. The eighth aunt must have her name. In the past, when there were production teams and people needed to call out their names to record work points and distribute food, the eighth aunt's name must also be recorded in various account books.

This is a novel with realistic themes. The story is indexed by the twenty-four solar terms. The "reincarnation of grass and trees" not only represents the prosperity and decline of nature, but also the living conditions and spiritual world of the people living at the lowest level. People can always welcome the coming of another spring with full hope. In Huangliu Village in Beili, Qinling Mountains, all the villagers have gone away from home to work. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people who stayed in the village, Huang Anan, who is in his fifties, has become a scarce strong labor force. With a kind-hearted, optimistic and honest nature, he almost became a "volunteer" for those left behind. With his courage and perseverance to never bow down in the face of hardship, he helped the villagers get out of poverty, and also out of spiritual loneliness and life barriers. The author has profound writing skills, and the plot of the novel is compact and gripping. It directly faces the current social problems of "hollowness" in rural areas, with lofty intentions and positive themes. This book is a key literary and artistic creation funding project of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department in 2021.
