Chapter 163: Elsewhere
In Lijia Village, Hebei Province, near Baoding Prefecture, Li Fu, who has not returned home for several years, has also brought the blessings of the capital to future generations.
This time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, in addition to the things prepared by Hong Yanwu for him, Li Fu also brought back a full 600 yuan of savings, and two semiconductor radios that he bought at a reduced price.
These rich gifts not only allowed him to enjoy the treatment of an old lady, but also won the intimacy and welcome of his children and in-laws.
also made the Li family change abruptly and became a wealthy family in the village again.
Cutting meat and wine, stewing fish and slaughtering chicken, it was really lively a year ago.
Coupled with the voice of the announcer of the national radio station coming from the Li family's house, how could the neighbors not be envious?
And those local specialties of the capital also made Li Fu a guest of honor among the village cadres.
For example, the person who has just changed from the secretary of the production brigade to the village secretary, even if he still bears the imprint of the "movement" period in his language, he is no longer a cross-eyebrow for the Li family.
On the contrary, he poured tea and poured water with cigarettes, and he put it on one by one.
told me how "caring" and "thoughtful" he had been to protect the Li family over the years.
Although he still said that it was difficult to return the old house occupied by the Li family.
But after hearing that Li Fu said that he planned to go back to the house, he had to clean up.
At that time, not only will he have to buy 5,000 high-quality green bricks from the brick factory managed by his second son, but he may also need to help hire a few carpenters and bricklayers.
The number one leader in the village, his attitude completely fell to the Li family.
patted his chest on the spot, and categorically promised that before the summer, the Li family would definitely move into the old mansion again.
From this, we can see why almost all people who go out and about the day they return to their hometowns in fine clothes? Who is not comfortable with this taste?
Don't forget, Li Fu has experienced the second time in this life, it is simply a reincarnation of thirty years, and his feelings are even more difficult for outsiders.
For Li Fu's grandchildren, the unusualness of the Spring Festival in 1982 is mainly reflected in the word "eat".
On Chinese New Year's Eve, they were excited to find several meat dishes on the table.
The whole bowls, the big pieces of stew, the fish stew, the stewed chicken, are all really on the table.
Piece by piece, like a dream, it shines a seductive light on them.
As soon as you stretch out your hand, you can touch those steaming, oily and watery "flexible substances".
It wasn't until they experienced the rolling red dust and eaten countless wine and meat in the future that they still couldn't find the right words to describe the refreshing and wonderful feeling of eating large pieces of meat back then.
This year, Li Fu's grandson Li Zhu was eighteen years old, and his grandson Fang Bingsheng was sixteen years old.
It was in this winter that the appetites of the two of them were baptized with wine and meat for the first time in their lives.
I learned what it means to eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. Appreciated the ultimate "revolutionary ideal" of the heroes of Liangshan.
If they can take out their stomach and intestines to take a look, I believe that the pattern of "1982" will be very clearly engraved on the mucosa of the stomach wall.
Therefore, they will never forget this well-fed Spring Festival for the rest of their lives, and even regard this time as the happiest day of their youth.
Every time I think about it, I always feel vivid, as if it was yesterday.
Of course, although Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of family reunion, it is inevitable that there will be people who have left their homes alone.
The "Thorn Plum" who came to do the goods is still in the flower city at this moment.
It's not that she doesn't want to go, it's that she can't.
Originally, she arranged it very well, and she hurried to run this trip before the holiday, if it went well, she could take the goods back to the capital for the holiday.
But who knows a little back, she bought 300 pairs of women's shoes in "Gaodi Street", and just after paying the money, she was deducted by the industry and commerce who came to inspect the stall.
The stall that dared to wholesale the goods to her was suspected of buying goods from a state-run store, which was a disaster to the pond fish.
Can "Thorn Mei" not be in a hurry? Hurry up and think about fishing for goods.
But she is not familiar with the place, where can she find the temple gate?
What's more, the goods are all done, and the waist bag is empty. This caught up with the end of the year, and people didn't bother to pay attention to her.
So she was delayed in Huacheng for four or five days in vain, and she didn't have a clue at all.
Finally, let's just take the other goods back to the capital first.
Go back and get some good cigarettes and wine, and wait until after the festival to come again, maybe this problem will be solved.
Thinking so, she took another train ticket and prepared to eat dumplings on the train for the New Year.
But as the so-called disaster does not go alone, people should be unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water.
Before getting on the train, she actually let people "slaughter" the "skin" again. (Dirty words, stealing wallets)
It's completely embarrassing this time, no money and no tickets, you can't go, and it's enough to go back.
Because she still had two bags of accessories with her, she had planned to get on the train first and then ask the conductor to find a place to arrange it.
But now let alone getting on the bus in time, even buying a platform ticket to sneak into the platform, or going back to Ah Hua's house, there is no change for taking the bus.
She can't steal from anyone else, can she?
What's more, she is an old man, but why didn't she even notice when and how people took advantage of the loopholes?
How sloppy and humiliating this is!
I couldn't tell any acquaintance about this kind of suffering, which really made her want to hit her head against the wall.
So when she dragged two bags of hemp and walked out of the train station, she looked at the sight of the citizens of Flower City taking to the streets to buy flowers on Chinese New Year's Eve.
She lost her strength and sat down on the steps.
There was a kind of resentment in my heart that was mixed with jealousy and depression.
But at this time, things have changed dramatically.
A voice that sounded familiar, but extremely unlikely, sounded behind her.
"Sisters, why are you so careless? When you are a good citizen, your mind is paralyzed?"
Although the voice was soft, it was like a shock.
"Thorn Mei" suddenly became smart, and quickly got up and turned back.
Sure enough, "Sugar Heart", who has been missing in the capital for several years, is holding her wallet and really standing in front of her.
Immediately after, "Thorn Mei" twisted her ears again, and then she didn't feel like she was sleepwalking.
Because although "Sugar Heart" is wearing a mask, almost half of his face is covered.
But the voice is indeed right, and those soft eyes that can fascinate people will not be mistaken by her.
And...... And behind her, there are acquaintances who have worked together, such as "Big Eye Lamp", "Reach Out", "Two Heads" and "Roller"!
"Thorn Mei" was immediately stupid.
It's not hard to imagine her mood at this moment.
It took a long time for her to shudder and spit out a few words.
"You...... You're a goblin...... Why are you hiding here?"
At the same time, tears poured out like spring water......
No matter what you say, it's always a blessing to be reunited.
No matter how bitter the mood is, no matter how long the time of separation.
But meeting is meeting after all, and you can always give an explanation to each other's feelings.
I'm afraid that it's worse than this, that is, there is nothing to seek, and the real yin and yang are separated.
In Yanchang County, Shaanxi, in Liujiahe Township, it was originally called Goulianggou.
The whole village is now completely unpopular and in ruins.
Of all the earthen kilns, only a few have not collapsed.
And under the cold moonlight on Chinese New Year's Eve, a Hongqi car with car lights on and a Beijing license plate drove to this place and stopped at the place where it was once a point of knowledge.
Three people got out of the car, one of them was the driver, and the other was the secretary of the Yanchang County Party Committee.
The most important person is Luo Yang, the son of the new deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.
He is a college student in the seventh and eighth classes, and after the New Year, he will report to work in the office of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.
And this is where he has been in the queue for five years.
Unexpectedly, a very abrupt scene appeared at this time.
I only heard the sound of "wow", and a strong smell of wine burst out of the flat ground.
As soon as Luo Yang got out of the car, he poured out all the wine in his stomach, and he was actually in a drunken state.
The driver saw him bend down and was about to step forward to help.
But the secretary of the county party committee stopped it.
"Let him vomit, he will vomit it all to be more comfortable. ”。
In fact, it was precisely because of this, after vomiting for a long time, Luo Yang finally relaxed. He sat on the ground like a mess of mud and spoke incoherently.
"I'm sorry for you...... ...... under the big year You'll have to come here with me, but ...... But tomorrow I will go back to the capital, if I don't come to see it again, I ...... I'm not reconciled......"
The secretary helped him up, and at the same time comforted him.
"You're welcome, it's a shame that we didn't find out what you need to know in time. But who let the village be dispersed after the merger? The secretary of the brigade at that time fell ill and passed away, which means that the heavens do not follow people's wishes, and there are too many difficulties.
"But don't worry, we will do what we promised, and we will continue to visit. Although Comrade Ran Liying cannot be resurrected after death, we will do our best to give you a clear explanation about the whereabouts of the child and the place where Comrade Ran Liying is buried. ”
Speaking of this, the secretary patted Luo Yang's back again and whispered to him.
"It's cold and windy here, since you've seen it, let's go back, you're too drunk, you have to put your body first, otherwise our county party committee and Minister Luo won't be able to explain." ”
However, Luo Yang, who had already been anesthetized by alcohol, refused to obey and stubbornly insisted.
"No, no, let me stay a little longer. ”
Then he muttered to himself.
"What are you afraid of when you're drunk? It's scary when you're sober! Really, I'm quite comfortable right now. Because at such times, there is no guilt......"
Suddenly, he suddenly broke free from the secretary's support and knelt down at the Zhiqing point.
Then, the driver and the secretary heard a heart-rending and uncontrollable shout together.
"Raider, Shadow, I'm sorry for you, I'm a sinner......"
Under the illumination of the headlights, the driver and the secretary could clearly see that two lines of tears welled up from Luo Yang's eyes.
That's not pretense.
Therefore, this scene can't help but make their noses sour and their eyes astringent.
As a result, the tears rolled and turned in his eyes, and after a long time, they finally fell......
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
