After the three of them drank a bottle of liquor, the conversation became more and more intense, Li and Youxin intersected, and they didn't hide it anymore, looking at He Jun, who looked up and took a sip of stuffy liquor, as if he had something on his mind, he asked directly, "You drink stuffy wine, what's wrong with you?"

He Jun glanced at Li He, "Do you know that there is a war in the south?"

Li He nodded, "I know, the war with Vietnam at the beginning of the year was read in the newspapers."

He Jun touched the wine glass with Li He again, sighed and said, "Several descendants of this commune have sacrificed, I went to send pensions to their families, people are crying too much, I feel uncomfortable, I don't dare to stay longer, I don't know what to do, you said that this good offspring is gone, who is not uncomfortable",

Li He didn't know how to answer, and suddenly felt so blocked in his heart, the three of them touched their glasses, touched them, and each of them was bored.

He Jun took a bite of food and said, "But your kid has a bright future in the future, work hard, better than my brother and me."

The two of them went down a few glasses of wine, and there was no taboo in talking, Li He knew that this father-in-law and mother-in-law had survived a lot of father-in-law and mother-in-law according to the normal promotion, so he simply sold favors, and said directly, "You are the pen of the commune, and according to the normal promotion, you need someone above to make room for you, why don't you give full play to your advantages, have you read the editorial in Guangming Daily?"

People who have a heart don't need to say the name to know which article it is, and those who don't have a heart say it in vain, not to mention the huge controversy of the editorial "Practice", how can He Jun, who is so enterprising, not read it, He Jun suddenly came to the spirit, took a puff of cigarette butt, spit out a long puff of smoke, and asked, "You talk about it, I am a fool left and right."

Li He said, "Why don't you think about the land contract, this kind of controversy is still inconclusive, you are looking for the right direction and standing in the queue, why worry about no future"

The two talked and talked more and more disregarding time, one deliberately released water, and the other was tireless in curiosity as a sponge.

Li He looked at the dark sky, and couldn't care about He Jun, who was still unsatisfied, so he hurried to finish the account and hurried home with Da Zhuang. I was a little drunk, and I lit a cigarette, so that the spicy taste of tobacco swirled in my lungs, and my mind gradually cleared.

The day of leaving school is getting closer and closer, Li He took a car from the county seat to the provincial capital to book a train ticket in advance, and then went back to the aquatic company to say hello to Old Man Zhang, and brought a cigarette.

Hearing that Li He was going to college, Old Man Zhang said, "You kid, you know how to pretend to be a calf at a young age, you have a future, grandpa is made from grandchildren, if you want to be a grandpa, you must first learn to be a grandson"

Li He laughed when he said this, I really want to ask, are you always reborn, how many penguins.

After lunch, he hurriedly urged the fourth child to go to school, don't ink, if you want to say that Li He's family is the most uneasy is the third child, Li He said to Li Long, "You know what I'm most worried about you, it's just too unassertive, it doesn't matter if you read or not, you have to use your brain to do everything, have your own ideas, don't be led by the nose, you know no." That paragraph Mei is still in contact, can you get it, can you get it, I'll let my aunt or grandma go and tell you about it."

Although his family doesn't accept yellow eels now, Li Long didn't go to the bridgehead of the Hongshui River to help the two uncles collect yellow eels, just to see his beloved girl, the two of them only occasionally said a few words, as for whether they like this kind of thing or not, two little rookies, who can say it.

Li He saw Li Long like this, and he understood in his heart, "Okay, how old are you, if you like it, just say it, how old is that girl, and her appearance is not bad, can no one stare at it? Don't let people cut off your beard, you can't buy regret medicine, you can't go there every day, what's the matter?" If you're embarrassed to speak, take your eldest sister to inquire."

Li Long was a little flustered when he heard this, yes, that girl was 16 years old, and she was the same age as herself, so she had to hurriedly say hello.

Li He went to Li Mei and told Li Long's thoughts, and said, "Sister, you go and see what the girl thinks, you girls are so close, the old three are too thin-skinned, look at which one is in Shangwan, if you want to win, go and ask someone familiar to say, isn't Dongmei's sister-in-law's mother's family in Shangwan." ”

Li Mei smiled and said, "Hehe, the third child is not a child anymore, why don't you know the situation at home for so long?"

Li He shook his head and said, "You guys look at it, I can't intervene horizontally, I'll tell you this."

It's okay to be idle at home every day, Li He pulls Li Long to take ideological and political education classes, this third child has graduated from primary school, can read and write, can add and subtract within 100, after going to school for so many years, let him take the junior high school exam, the difficulty is not ordinary, and it is difficult to go to junior high school to be a gangster. At present, there is a fourth child in the family who has just started school and has been promoted to the fifth grade, and he happily goes to school every day with a schoolbag, which is a peace of mind. The fifth child's account has been completed, and he has paid a fine of 200 yuan, but he is still young and will not be charged when he goes to school.

Looking back at Li Zhaokun in this life, there is no opposition to reading on the issue, of course, it can't be said that there is support, it is the sheep herding model, and I don't care how I love it. Although Wang Yulan often cries and cries, as long as the child wants to go to school, she will also lend money to the child to study, and most people will also say, isn't it enough to know a few words, the family is like this, what kind of school. Wang Yulan doesn't know a single word, she doesn't support going to school, and she doesn't know the set of lofty theories of going to school and reading, whether reading is useful or not, she doesn't think about that aspect, she just doesn't know how to refuse the child's willingness to study.

Li Zhaokun and Wang Yulan do not have the saying that they are patriarchal, in ordinary families, the fourth and fifth are still uncertain, especially if the fifth is a girl, and they also hang a fine for overbirth, and the concept of raising children in the countryside to prevent old age is very heavy, and no son is looked down upon, and he will feel inferior. For example, whoever is marrying a daughter-in-law, looking for help from neighbors, only looking for a son in the family, trying to give birth to a noble son early, and not looking for "old and desperate" to help with festive things. Over time, the "old desperate households" themselves feel inferior, and they are afraid of bringing "bad luck" to others if they want to help

There are still many people who vow not to give up if they don't give birth to sons. Because the daughter is raised by someone else. The son is his own. If you don't have a son, who will provide for your old age?

But if the first child is a daughter, the second child is unfortunately still a girl, and then you want a third child, it will be difficult. Those who are soft-hearted and don't want to strangle the baby girl, but still want to have a third child, can only hide in Tibet and give birth to the child, waiting for the public family to come to fine, and if they can't afford to pay the fine, then wait for the house and belongings to be bulldozed.

Many times, it is more common to be suffocated to death with a small bag or choked to death by burying it in the ashes, and Li He sometimes can't help but talk about evil, but there is nothing he can do.

Li He looked at the fourth and fifth children, but he didn't think that Li Zhaokun was wise, but he was glad that his old son was out of tune, that is, his two uncles Li Zhaoming and Li Zhaohui were two normal people, and what delicious food at home was not all close to his son, and his daughter was not waiting to see him. Like Wang Yulan and her aunt Li Zhaoyun, they are completely blind, and there are even more who can't read a single big character, and Li Zhaokun, a man who is not stingy, has at least studied in elementary school.

The closer I get to the day of leaving, the more panicked I become, and the more I can't let go of my home. Zeng Qingchun was ignorant, fearless, and just wanted to leave this remote place, Li He was just tired of this poverty, this place was so poor and backward, so he dreamed of one day escaping, going outside to see the world, and going outside to live a better life, and the children in the countryside basically had no other way to leave except to study and serve as soldiers. As for recruitment, that's just a legend. Later, I went to the capital to study, okay, the good ones can't stand it, the overpass, the highway, that is a poor hometown can not be compared, the capital is so big, I am like a little ant, which makes people a little scared and a little excited. But when I drifted farther and farther, I found that I couldn't stop missing my hometown for a moment.
