"Yue Min, can you tell me the source of the sentence you wrote?" The two of them walked for a long time before Cui Yang couldn't help but ask.

"It was a song, a song I heard a long time ago. ”

Cui Yang looked up at Zhong Yuemin: "The lyrics are so beautiful, can you sing them to me?"

Zhong Yuemin tried hard not to let himself go to see Cui Yang, he was a little afraid to look at her bright eyes, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I don't sing well, don't laugh at me." ”

"No~, you should see me off. ”

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword

Take a look at the prosperity of the world

Young hearts are always a little frivolous

Now you call the world home

The girl who once made you feel distressed

Now it is gone

Love always makes you yearn and feel annoyed

It has left you bruised all over your body

Dilililidilililidenda

Dilililidilililidada

Dilililidilililidada······”

The twilight has already stained the sky, the long figures of the two are cast behind them, Zhong Yuemin's somewhat hoarse singing voice gradually drifts in the air, and the flock of pigeons on the horizon sweeps the sky and gradually fades away.

Monday, February 1, 1965, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The weather in BJ has been very good these days, Zhong Yuemin got up early in the morning to exercise, and felt that the atmosphere in the compound was very different, whether it was a soldier or a staff, everyone didn't feel that they were smiling. In particular, the children in the courtyard were in groups of three or five, noisy and noisy, whistling and swarming away.

"Yuemin, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you are still out of action, you are too boring." "Zheng Tong, this kid doesn't know where to get out. "U.S. imperialism is not a New Year, and we, as the successors of socialism, cannot slack off just because of the Chinese New Year. You kid, Yuan Jun, and Wang Laosan are lazy again, aren't they? Zhong Yuemin said with a smile. Zheng Tong quibbled: "Hey, we are the flowers of the motherland, we have to rest when we should rest, and besides, if we don't fuck today, my father approved it." ”

"By the way, where did those two boys go, why are you the only one left in the mischievous trio?" Zhong Yuemin wondered. These three people were naughty and mischievous in the compound, watering flowers with boiling water, smashing people's glasses, spitting on people's heads, throwing stones into the toilet and splashing people's buttocks, and feeding thumbtacks to the old sow...... There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do. Zheng Tong is a dog-headed military advisor with bad ideas, Yuan Jun is a thug who implements the specific implementation, and it is always Wang Laosan who eats the blame in the end, which is why Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun are willing to take Wang Laosan to play together.

Zheng Tong patted his thigh and said: "I forgot about business when I talked to you, today the cafeteria is full of feasts, and those two have already gone, and they are not righteous at all, for fear that I will rob them." ”

Saying that Zheng Tong had already pulled out his legs and ran, Zhong Yuemin was also energetic when he heard it, he hadn't eaten a meal of braised pork for more than half a year, and there was no oil and water in his stomach. It hasn't been long since three years of natural disasters, even the various materials in the capital are tight, and the canteen in the compound is a little better than the people's homes, but it can't stand the cabbage, potatoes, radish, and pumpkin eaten like this every day, Zhong Yuemin last mixed the meat or wrestled and took off the strength to eat the sick rice, and there was only a little minced meat in the porridge.

Before he walked to the door of the cafeteria, the aroma of food came to his nose, steamed, stewed, fried, roasted, pork, mutton, beef, fish, Zhong Yuemin didn't need to look at it, and the picture of various foods was already presented in his mind. Zheng Tong took Zhong Yuemin to the side of the canteen, turned around, and ran to an old locust tree on the edge of the courtyard wall, only to see Zheng Tong take two steps back, rush forward hard, climb the tree three or two, and then jump to the top of the courtyard wall, walk briskly along the top of the wall, and climb onto the roof of the canteen. Zhong Yuemin looked at it, I'll go, this is a habitual offender, this small action, this small skill, I don't have three or five years of criminal experience, I am not so proficient at all.

Zhong Yuemin waved the thoughts in his mind, didn't say much, it was serious to get meat to eat, he kicked the trunk of the tree and borrowed his strength to go up to the wall, and followed Zheng Tong to the roof. The roof of the canteen in the compound is tiled, and a roof protrudes above the ridge, which is used by the traditional kitchen to ventilate and disperse oil fumes. When Zhong Yuemin came up, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and Wang Laosan were already lying there, with their buttocks pouting and their heads had already poked in, only to see Yuan Jun pull up a thin line, looking like a nylon rope for fishing, and there was really a big iron hook tied to the rope to catch a black fish, and a fat chicken was hanging on it. Before Yuan Jun took the chicken off the hook, Zheng Tong pulled the chicken leg down and stuffed it into his mouth, Wang Laosan also wanted to reach out, Yuan Jun reacted faster, and directly took the chicken into his arms: "What to grab, the hook is mine, and I am the one who contributes, you want to eat it first, and there is no reason for it, ah." Wang Laosan was glared at by him, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to lick the little oil rubbed on his hand.

"Damn, the chicken thief still has to talk about heavenly principles, and he is not afraid of people laughing and losing his big teeth. Zhong Yuemin stood next to him and sneered.

Zheng Tong finally swallowed the chicken legs: "That's it, it's important to fill your stomach first, let's run away quickly after everyone divides a point, and don't be caught when you turn around." ”

Yuan Jun saw that he was angry, hesitated, tore off a chicken leg, and handed the chicken to Zhong Yuemin: "Na, for you, it's just a chicken, as for me." ”

Zhong Yuemin tore off half of the chicken breast and gave it to Zheng Tong, left a pair of chicken wings for himself, and gave the rest to Wang Laosan. The four of them wiped out the fat chicken on the roof of the cafeteria, especially Wang Laosan, who was so happy to eat it that he chewed all the chicken bones and ate them.

The staff in the compound come from all over the country, many employees are single, some have not brought their families to Beijing, and some are small families of the couple, so this year the unit arranged for the Chinese New Year's Eve to spend the collective New Year in the auditorium and hold a party. Wang Laosan's father Wang Zhanying is mainly responsible for this matter, to be honest, no one can do this thing except him, this year wants everyone to eat and drink well during the New Year, and it is not possible to take care of the family without a little housekeeping ability.

There is a shortage of materials in the whole country, and you can't buy so many good materials just because of money, all of which rely on the feelings accumulated by Director Wang Zhanying and his brother units, and on his mutual benefit and mutual help with units and departments across the country, so that you can get SD's apples, sea fish, Inner Mongolia's beef and mutton, HB's local chickens, ducks, and big fat pigs······. In order to let everyone have a good year, Director Wang worked hard inside and out for two months, lost ten pounds of meat, and also won praise from all over the unit, and even some leaders who usually don't look down on him nodded and praised.

In the afternoon, when it was just dark, the entrance of the auditorium was already lively, with lights everywhere, dozens of large round tables were placed in the hall, and the loudspeakers also sounded cheerful Dongfanghong. The chefs in the cafeteria have already started to serve the food, and after a while, the table is full, and each table is filled with liquor and drinks. The adults were still standing at the door and chatting with each other at the edge of the hall, but the children were already drooling at the delicacies on the table, and if it weren't for their parents watching, they would have been eager to catch them immediately.

Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun and Wang Lao were squatting in the corner, still holding a toothpick in their mouths, and the chicken had just been cushioned in their stomachs, and now they were looking at the table with fierce eyes, thinking about how to grab more delicious food with maximum efficiency for a while.

At this time, Director Wang saw the four of them coming over: "Yue Min, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun, uncle and you discuss something, there is a small party tonight, there is a dancing man with his foot and neck, you guys will come up with a show to save the scene." ”

Yuan Jun stopped doing it, stretched his neck, and said: "Why, the four of us are squatting here, why don't you call your third child?

"That's it, besides, one can't dance, two can't sing, and three can't say cross talk, what kind of show will we play?" Zheng Tong said beside him.

Director Wang was so angry that he trembled, the third child of their family had a bad brain, and he could only show his appearance when he came to power, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong still had to use this to top him, it was just bad.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin scolded: "You two bastards, you know how to offend you when you bury the third child, how can Wang Laosan offend you." Then he said to Director Wang: "Director Wang, you have the same knowledge as them. I know that you have worked hard for everyone to have a good New Year, and everyone applauds you. I saved you in this scene, I will give you a show when the time comes, and you will be satisfied, do you think it? ”

Director Wang's eyes turned red when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhong Yuemin, a half-grown child, to understand him so well, he patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "Cheng, you will go up when the curtain arrives for you." Yue Min, uncle, thank you. ”
