Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Time always flies fast during the New Year holidays. In the blink of an eye, it is already the sixth day of the New Year, and it is also the day for everyone to set out.

Wang Bo and his companions came early in the morning wearing big red flowers and carrying luggage, standing at the gate of the compound, waiting for the street office to arrange a bus to take them to the train station.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, people had not yet gone to work or school. Gradually, more and more people came to the streets. Everyone stood on the street and talked enthusiastically about the young people who were about to travel far away.

The loud speaker at the entrance of the street began broadcasting the highest instructions from the superiors, and then every household set off firecrackers, and the whole street suddenly became lively.

Director Wang, as the street leader, also arrived early. She followed the slowly moving bus and sent every young person who came to help Xinjiang on board.

When the bus arrived at Compound No. 95, Director Wang shook hands with several people, and then the five people boarded the bus one by one amid warm applause and a few cries.

After getting on the bus, the other people stretched their hands out of the window and waved vigorously, saying goodbye to their families and to their wonderful life.

Wang Bo sat in the car without moving, with his eyes closed, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.

Wang Bo didn't have anyone to say goodbye to, nor did he feel reluctant to leave this courtyard. It was just that the crying voices reminded him of his parents, his carefree little house, and his mobile phone which he had not seen for 371 days.

And the long-lost phrase "All troops attack!"

After seeing off the group, the crowd on the street gradually dispersed. Yan Fugui looked at the bus going away with a smile, thinking that all the troublemakers had gone away, and I would have the final say in this courtyard from now on!

But before he could be happy for long, he heard the third auntie in the courtyard shouting anxiously: "My tricycle, my tricycle!"

Yan Fugui rushed into the courtyard and searched inside and outside. He finally realized that his tricycle had been stolen. He shouted at the three aunts in a rage: "Call the police!"

What he didn't know was that Wang Bo had already put the tricycle into the space courtyard last night!

Diary of a silly column:

Day 1: I regretted it as soon as I got here, it was too cold. I went to the toilet last night, and in less than two minutes, my brother was unconscious for half the night.

The next day: I joined the kitchen team, still doing my old job, cooking for more than a thousand people in this "Beijing Youth Farm". Was the girl who helped me always secretly staring at me?

Day 3: She must be peeking at me! I saw her several times, and she had a really nice smile.

Day 4: I can’t sleep tonight, so I’ll take action tomorrow!

Day 5: I, a high-quality young man, was rejected by her! The reason why she kept peeking at me was to guess how old I was? Captain Yang Hua transferred her away and replaced her with two men to help me. These two were really stupid.

······

They started to cut grass to build houses. It's already March and the weather is still so cold. They are actually working in the mud with bare hands and feet. How cold it must be. I will boil some hot water for them these days.

······

The nearest village is more than 20 miles away from the farm, which is a bit far. I'll go there when I'm not busy.

······

I was beaten and I couldn't fight back. It hurt so much. This brat Wang Bo lied to me!

······

On the third day after being beaten, the swelling on my face had not gone down yet. Xu Damao brought a few people to make fun of me, and I kicked him in the crotch. If someone hadn’t held me back, I would have kicked him twice more!

·······

They went to open up wasteland, and heard that there were not enough machines and livestock, so they ordered people to use pickaxes to dig the ground bit by bit, and steam more steamed bread tomorrow so that they could eat their fill!

·······

Finally, we started to plant crops. These young men and women are great. They work from morning till night without complaining about being tired. I will go to help tomorrow too! Wang Bo also opened a small piece of land by himself. He said he would take good care of it to see how much he could produce per mu. Is he just sitting there with nothing to do?

······

The summer here is quite cool, but there are too many mosquitoes and fleas everywhere. My brother has been infected.

······

Why has Lao Yi been taking leave recently? I can't find him to chat with. There is a pretty girl in the Tianjin Farm next door, who speaks like a crosstalk.

······

This crosstalk performer’s insults are so ugly!

······

Last night a snake crawled into my bed and bit my leg several times. Fortunately it wasn't poisonous. Wang Bo actually brought alcohol and gauze with him. Where did he hide them all the way?

······

Still couldn't find Yi Zhonghai. I chatted with Liu Haizhong for more than an hour. The old guy had come to his senses recently. He said that it didn't matter if his son was unreliable, and being an official and making money were the most important things. Well, has he gotten into a dead end again?

······

It's only September and it's already freezing. The ground is frozen solid. How can we have a good harvest?

······

It's October now and it's finally time to harvest the crops. I heard that there are wild boars destroying the crops in the fields, so I'm trying to find a way to catch a few.

······

Wang Bo has become famous. He killed two wild boars with an axe. We will have no shortage of meat to eat during this period. If Wang Bo can do it, I can do it too. I will go catch wild boars tomorrow!

······

On the eighth day after being injured by the wild boar, this foot can finally touch the ground. Xu Damao, don’t jump around in front of me. I will beat you up sooner or later!

How come the corn in Wang Bo's field grows so well? It is calculated that one acre of land can produce more than 1,000 kilograms of grain. All the corn he planted was taken away for seed. This guy was interviewed again!

······

On the 53rd day after being bullied by a wild boar, my leg is finally back to normal shape. If Xu Damao comes to make fun of me again tomorrow, I will kick him hard in the crotch!

······

At night, everyone was picking corn kernels. I helped too. My fingers ached. I heard that Wang Bo had followed Captain Yang to join the logging team. The temperature outside was already more than 20 degrees below zero. How could the members of the logging team survive?

······

Today, Liu Haizhong told me that Lao Yi might have found another one. Is what Liu Haizhong said true or false? Alas, he is busy from morning till night every day. Isn't he tired? They are both so old, why are they still struggling? I don't want to take care of them!

······

The logging team came back with a bear. How did it grow so big? How did Wang Bo kill it with an axe?

······

Chinese New Year, making dumplings, and missing home.

······

Xiao Wang from Hebei Farm is so handsome!

······

Xu Damao actually dared to set his sights on Xiao Wang, I'll kick him to death!

······

I am going home soon, and I feel reluctant to leave. My biggest regret is that I didn’t bring back a sister-in-law for Yu Shui. I can only bring back a handful of black soil for Yu Shui to let her know that her brother also struggled to build the motherland!
