The story takes place on the eve of World War I. A father and twin brothers lived on a farm in Northern California. My father is very upright and a kind and pious Christian. The elder brother is Aaron and the younger brother is Karl. Aaron has a beautiful girlfriend, Abra, who is in a good relationship and plans to get married when they graduate. This made my younger brother very jealous, always looking at them with hatred from afar. Abra was very scared and said to Aaron, "It was terrible when he looked at you." However, Aaron didn't care. One day, Aaron and Abra were making each other in the cold storage, and Karl saw him. He looked at them from a distance, and angrily pushed the ice cube down to vent. Carl also knows a secret, their mother did not die as the father said. On this day, he told his father about his mother, who was very angry and told Karl to stop caring about it. My father researched a new method of refrigerating vegetables. He loaded the harvested vegetables on a truck, hoping to make some money with his invention. When loading vegetables on the truck, Carl stole a coal trough to his father. When he found out, his father severely reprimanded him and told him to return the coal trough. My father's experiment failed. Many of the vegetables in the carriages were rotten. My father lost all his money. Carl saw that his father was very sad, and he wanted to make a sum of money to make up for his loss. At this time, the war began. The prices of all supplies have risen sharply, and Carl wants to grow beans to make money. He borrowed five thousand yuan from his mother as capital. Taking the money in his mother's insulting language, Carl started his work. Watching the beans thrive, he was elated. At this moment, the relationship between Abra and Aaron was in crisis. When Carl was with Abra, she asked him, "Does Aaron really love me?" Abra was very moved by Carl's care for her. One day, they kissed while playing on the railcar in the park. After that, Abra told Carl that it didn't mean anything. The war started and many people died. The price of beans is too high to be higher. Carl made the money back smoothly. On his father's birthday, Carl gave the money to his father. But his father refused to accept it. He told Karl to return the money to the peasants who had been squeezed by him. What his father did made Carl very sad. An angry Carl led his brother Aaron to his mother and told him: This woman who had been a bustard is his mother. Aaron ran away angrily because of the relationship between his girlfriend and younger brother, and joined the army bound for the European battlefield after being drunk once. My father suffered a stroke because of this sudden blow
