Chapter 47 Xiangshan Travel
After sending off the "little thunder", Hong Yanwu was idle, so he thoroughly sorted out the accounts for all the wealth he currently has. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Calculate the incoming account first.
At the beginning, he gave his mother 100 yuan of "You San", 400 yuan of "Zou Toad", and Chen Liquan's 500 yuan of folded pieces.
Next, it was the "two heads" who sent 100 yuan of "mountain worship money", and nearly 500 yuan of happy money given by the princes from all walks of life in the two days of "standing sticks" at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Immediately afterwards, when he took revenge on the "washing" people, he got another 100 yuan from the "two bald people" and "big noodles", and more than 200 yuan from the three fierce generals of the "small landlord".
Then, that is, the 1,400 yuan in cash knocked out from the five "bosses" on the day of the negotiation, and the 500 yuan returned the gift from the "old ghost".
Finally, on the basis of these, we must add the 1,400 yuan that the "eight forks" are about to pay, so that the package will be piled up, and the total amount of 5,200 yuan will be brought into the account.
Then the account is calculated.
He first gave the "little hundred sons" fifty yuan for medicine, then six hundred yuan for the hard work of five subordinates, then three hundred and fifty yuan for visiting the "old ghost", and finally plus the recent expenses of his own group of people eating horses, a total of 1,200 yuan.
Then the two offset, and the total amount that could fall into his hands in the end was about four thousand.
Needless to say, the cost of his father's treatment would be covered in a moment. As long as the follow-up 1,400 yuan is in his hands, and his mother sells the "Jade Flat Fang" again, his father will definitely be saved.
Looking at the handwritten accounts in front of him, Hong Yanwu suddenly burst out laughing.
He couldn't control it. Because of the recent period of deliberate, open and secret fighting, danger, and fear, not only is it completely over, but there are also such rich rewards. This made him experience an incomprehensible bitter taste, and at the same time, he finally let go of the burden in his heart.
It's really not easy, but it's not in vain!
At this point, an unprecedented light-hearted pleasure finally returned to him, accompanied by happiness and hope in the bottom of his heart, which made him turn to a big heart, and couldn't help humming a little song.
"In the autumn wind of August, the eldest girl went to the market, passed by a sorghum field, and met a soldier, this soldier is not a good thing......"
When people are happy, they are refreshed, they want to sing, they are interested in singing, they want to celebrate, and they want to celebrate in order to share joy and happiness with others. So Hong Yanwu was no exception, and he discussed this matter with Chen Liquan that night.
In this year, with not many choices for consumption and entertainment, the way to celebrate is rather one-dimensional. Most of the time, it's just a restaurant to eat and drink.
According to Hong Yanwu's original idea, he originally wanted to take "Little Baizi" with Chen Liquan and go to the "Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant" (that is, "Judequan", renamed "Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant" during the movement) that the two of them most longed for to eat roast duck.
But the problem is that the source of the money in his hand cannot be explained. If he goes out to eat and drink by himself behind his family's back, he will have a lingering sense of guilt no matter what.
It's really not that he's hypocritical, if it's to deal with the scene, he still has a reason to convince himself, but if it's just to feast on it, even if others are sitting in the restaurant, thinking that everyone in the family is eating pickles, I'm afraid all the interest will be gone. No matter how rich the delicacies are, they can't go down with chopsticks!
For Hong Yanwu's ambivalence, Chen Liquan is very understanding. So he thought about it for a while, and soon came up with a new idea, he suggested that it would be better to go out for a spring outing, which would not cost much, but would be more interesting than a big meal.
As for the location of the trip, there are not many choices. Because in these years, in addition to parks such as the Zoo, Taoran Pavilion, Zizhu Courtyard, Xuanwu Art Garden, and Wanshou West Palace, most of the royal gardens with monuments have suffered extremely serious damage in the "movement", and are now basically in a state of closure. If you want to say that you can still go, the more interesting place is to climb the Great Wall, that is, Xiangshan.
Not to mention, this is really a good idea, Hong Yanwu was overjoyed at the time and strongly agreed. He was so happy, not for anything else, mainly because he thought that he could bring his sister Hong Yanru with him.
To be honest, the only thing he did for his sister when he came back this time was to give her ten yuan, but later she took the initiative to hand over the money to her mother. This inevitably made him feel that he had treated his sister badly, but for a while he didn't know how to care for her. Now that he has such an opportunity to make his sister happy, it is naturally his dream.
In this way, early the next morning, before Hong Yanru went to school, Hong Yanwu told her about the planned trip for the weekend. And not only promised her sister that she could bring Su Xiu from the neighbor's house, but also gave her the choice of the final travel location.
The reason why this is so is because Hong Yanwu knows very well that for some good things that can be sure of what will happen, in fact, the expectation before the official arrival is also a kind of happiness. If my sister can still make decisions about some things, her happiness will be doubled.
This feeling, if you want to make an analogy, is actually roughly similar to the feeling of children in this era in the days before the Spring Festival. He just wanted his sister to be happier.
Sure enough, Hong Yanru had an unprecedented time on Friday and Saturday, and she was mentally minded, and she was very diligent in her housework.
However, while Hong Yanwu lamented that his sister was too easily satisfied, he couldn't help but reflect on it with emotion, feeling that he should not have neglected his sister for a long time.
Because it suddenly occurred to him that perhaps it was because of his sister's long-term lack of love that she had little contact with the opposite sex. In her previous life, she was easily deceived by the careful-eyed brother-in-law from Huhai who used a few tricks to ask for warmth.
Even, this is probably the main reason why she has been treated unequally in her marriage, and she has been a good wife and mother who has worked hard and has no regrets for a long time.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu made a decision on this point while fully conducting self-examination in his thinking.
This time, he not only tried his best to care for his sister, but also to increase her knowledge. In this way, she will not be confused in the choice of marriage, and find a good match that can truly make her own happiness.
Sunday, April 17, 1977.
The sky was beautiful, and it ushered in a good day with clear skies.
Since the preparations for the trip were made as early as last evening. Hearty food, roast chicken, canned food, sausages, bread, two pots, soft drinks...... There is everything, and Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are stuffed with two big bags.
So on this day, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "Little Baizi", as well as Hong Yanru and Su Xiu, set off from home at six o'clock in the morning after getting up early in the morning and washing up briefly.
As for the destination of spring, Hong Yanru and Su Xiu chose to go to Xiangshan. So they first went to Caishikou to take No. 105 to the zoo, and then poured No. 360 bus, which took more than two hours, and arrived at the foot of Xiangshan at about half past eight in the morning.
Not to mention, although Xiangshan is most famous for its autumn leaves, it is still very beautiful at this time. Because although it has not yet come to the time of "waiting for leisure to know the east wind, thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring", but the early spring scene of "grass on the ground, willows on both sides of the river" has already arrived.
Looking at the "sun at eight or nine o'clock" from afar, the fragrant mountain is full of vibrant green. The rape flowers in the fields at the foot of the mountain and the peach blossoms on the mountain are also in full bloom, and with two bright colors as a backdrop, the vast green on the mountain does not look boring at all, but only makes people feel extraordinarily lovely.
However, there are also many extremely discordant existences in this tranquil and quiet landscape.
Due to this period, the "movement" has just ended, and the state of mind of everyone who is difficult to protect and who is in danger has not been fundamentally reversed, and most people are still keeping an eye on the new trends of the upper echelons.
So it's about the same as the special period, the people who come here, except for some local villagers who live nearby, most of them are some junior high school and high school students, or they are all kinds of "players" and "courtyards" who are not afraid of heaven and earth, in short, there are few fuel-efficient lamps.
And the purpose of these people going to Xiangshan is not only for fun, but also for many other "impure" purposes. For example, pulling out parts, stretching tendons, along with communication, patting the "mother-in-law", to put it bluntly, there is nothing to idle, just trying to cause trouble, fooling around.
In this way, you can see, on this road, the east gang, the west gang, half of the children and girls are like carp crossing the river, these people are either chasing and fighting, or making fun of the poor, anyway, there is no stop.
And as long as you pay a little attention, you can find that the faces with pimples are all full of bohemian expressions, and the eyes are full of provocation. Up and down the body, there is always an aggressive smell.
Once a stranger dares to approach, they will make a fierce appearance of "either you ate me, or I ate you" at any time. It seems that these people are born with electricity, which leads the fire, and a little careless eye contact and collision may cause trouble and conflict with them.
This kind of scene naturally made Hong Yanru and Su Xiu, the two girls, extremely uncomfortable.
They have never seen much of the world, and they all have a faint fear of horror. Even if Hong Yanwu comforted him again and again, assuring that with him, no one would be able to bully them. They were also nervous unconsciously, but they still lowered their heads, held each other's hands tightly, and hurried forward with fear.
But they were so cautious, and when they were about to walk to the main gate of Xiangshan, there was still a small episode. (To be continued.) )
