Chapter 2 I Love My Home

1986 was a magical year, first in January, the "Challenger" exploded after liftoff, followed by the return of the "Broom Star" in February, the nuclear disaster in human history in April - the Chernobyl nuclear power plant Yan zhòng leak, and the "football king" Maradona staged a "magic hand" in the World Cup in Mexico in May. Of course, in the fiery July, Comrade Su Chenyu was also reborn like a "broom star".

This year was an important year for China's reform -- the State Council issued a series of regulations on economic reform and development; in this year, Deng Gong met with a delegation of Hong Kong tycoons in Beijing to make clear to Hong Kong the attitude of the mainland government; and in this year, Cui Jian's "Nothing" was sung all over the country, and rock and roll rose in response to the sound of this land of China.

Yes, in 1986, the land of China was in front of the historical opportunity of reform and opening up, although the tide of reform did not have much impact on this somewhat backward small county town -- but looking at the more and more cars and tractors on the asphalt road, and looking at the more and more shops on both sides of the street, it turned out that the reform has been unconsciously integrated into our lives.

Su Chenyu enjoys his current life very much, although the weather in July is very hot, it is not as scorching as in later generations. Being able to be with Li Yuhan every day may be the happiest thing for Su Chenyu right now. Now Su Chenyu's biggest hobby is to "tease" the little girl Li Yuhan, although this seems very naïve, but he never gets tired of it. Otherwise, he and his "bad friend" uncle went around to "scourge" others - either to steal this watermelon or to pick that peach. Enjoying the love of three generations, his parents, grandparents, and grandparents, Su Chenyu felt so happy that he even forgot that his current mental age was in his thirties.

It is necessary to introduce this place, this is an ordinary county town in the north of Donghai Province - the ancient city, Su Chenyu's home is in Sujia Village, Chengguan Town, Gucheng County, which is considered a suburb of the county, only ten minutes' drive from the county seat (the car here is a bicycle, not a car).

First of all, I have to clarify that Li Yuhan and Su Chenyu are not baby relatives and not child daughters-in-law, but Li Yuhan has lived in the Su family since he was 5 years old, and the two are real childhood sweethearts. Li Yuhan's father and Su Chenyu's father, Su Zhenbang, were comrades-in-arms who were friends of life and death, and died in the self-defense counterattack in 1979, and her mother died because of excessive sadness after getting the news. Soon after, Su Zhenbang, who was discharged from the army due to injury, took Li Yuhan, who lost his parents, home and raised him as his own daughter.

Su Chenyu's father, Su Zhenbang, went to eastern Guangdong to serve as a soldier when he was 18 years old in 70, went home to marry Su Chenyu's mother Feng Ying after being promoted in 74, and participated in the "self-defense counterattack" that shocked the world with the vanguard of the eastern Guangdong Military Region in 79. In that war, his reconnaissance company suffered heavy casualties, even his best comrade-in-arms and instructor Li Jianyun died, and he was discharged from the army for some reason after he retreated from the battlefield in Vietnam. Su Zhenbang changed careers as a "combat hero", so he became a deputy director of Chenguang Machinery Factory in Gucheng County, while his wife Feng Ying became a teacher in Gucheng Primary School in Gucheng County. Therefore, Su Chenyu's family background is very wealthy in the entire Sujia Village, and even the entire Chengguan Town.

Su Chenyu's family can be said to be famous in Sujia Village, Chengguan Town, and even Gucheng County, not because Su Zhenbang is the deputy director of the machinery factory, but because there are two combat heroes in this family. In that era, in that era of pride in fighting heroes, Su Chenyu's family was well-known throughout Gucheng County.

Su Zhenbang is a combat hero of the "Self-Defense Counterattack against Vietnam", while Su Chenyu's grandfather Su Zhongping is a "combat hero" of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Su Zhongping brothers, 50 years ago, as the child of the best "farmer" family at that time, as the eldest son, he actively responded to the call of the country to join the volunteer army, and participated in the tragic "Shangganling Battle". After the war, Su Zhongping was demobilized and returned home as a "combat hero" and became a policeman at the police station in Chengguan Town.

Su Chenyu's family is a big family of four generations, his great-grandfather gave birth to two sons, the eldest son is Su Chenyu's grandfather Su Zhongping, and the second son Su Zhongwen is more than ten years younger than Su Zhongping, so Su Chenyu's uncle is four years older than Su Chenyu.

Su Chenyu's father Su Zhenbang also has an older sister Su Yun, but she got married later than Su Zhenbang, so her first daughter was just seven years old. Su Zhongwen is Su Chenyu's second grandfather, an authentic farmer, and a typical late marriage, with a daughter Su Wen who is now 18 years old, and a son Su Zhenguo who is just 13 years old.

Further afield, Su Chenyu's great-grandfather is three brothers, and now he has already branched out, so a huge family has been formed. The second grandfather has four sons and two daughters, and the third grandfather has three sons and three daughters, but they are all younger than Su Zhongping, so Su Zhongping is the "principal" of this big family.

Su Chenyu, Su Zhenbang's only son, Su Zhongping's eldest grandson - born in 75, did not catch the 80-year-old train, but caught the "last train" of ten years of turmoil, and even caught the "college entrance examination 1977". So what makes Su Chenyu happy is that he can "scold" the post-80s generation on the Internet in a grand and swaggering manner. Su Chenyu's name is the most elegant one in the Su family, and in his grandmother's words, his grandfather Su Zhongping's Qiu Baxingwu was finally found out by touching the dictionary. In fact, Su Chenyu's name is closely related to his birth, he was born at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it happened to be raining at that time, so his grandfather called him Su Chenyu.

Su Chenyu, this kid, has been a "bad water" since he was a child, naughty and mischievous, "doing all kinds of evil", and his uncle Su Zhenguo, and Su Zhenhan, an uncle of the second grandfather's family, are the three "evil youths" in this village. Among them, Su Chenyu, who is the youngest, has the most eyes, and has been the "behind-the-scenes" among his friends since he was a child - all bad ideas basically come from his hands, such as stealing melons and peaches, going down to the river to catch fish and turtles, this kid poked and teased his friends, and then sat back and enjoyed it himself.

Since Su Chenyu came to this world, because it was summer vacation, this guy and his uncle Su Zhenguo really had nothing to do and wandered around all day long. However, Su Zhenguo no longer dared to let Su Chenyu go to the river, since Su Chenyu almost drowned last time, Su Zhenguo went home and was beaten by Su Zhongwen firmly, if it wasn't for Su Zhenbang's intercession, it is estimated that this beating would be heavier.

Therefore, when Su Chenyu asked to go fishing by the river again today, Su Zhenguo was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and refused. However, obviously he underestimated Su Chenyu's persuasion ability, if a soul in his thirties can't even convince a little kid, then Su Chenyu can go to.

The northern part of Chengguan Town is bypassed by a branch of Yishui, and Sujia Village is close to this large river, and another ancient canal also bypasses Sujia Village. Therefore, the entire Chengguan Town is barely a "water town" in Jiangbei, which is not a water town.

Children are all out-of-the-box personalities who remember to eat and not to fight, and under the temptation of Su Chenyu's words, Su Zhenguo and Su Chenyu walked towards the river. However, it was obvious that Su Chenyu's plan had no chance to be implemented, and they were stopped by Li Yuhan's little girl halfway.

"Xiaoyu, Dad called you home and wanted to take you to the hospital!" The little girl's voice sounded very crisply behind Su Chenyu.

"Yes, it's raining, my eldest brother is going to take you to the hospital, then let's not go today!" Su Zhenguo hurriedly echoed, although he was fooled by Su Chenyu, he could still feel the feeling of being beaten by that fat beating-it was really uncomfortable.

"What are you doing in the hospital?" replied Su Chenyu.

"Dad said to take you to check it out again. Li Yuhan was obviously very dissatisfied with Su Chenyu's non-cooperation: "Are you going back or not?" and the second grandmother also called Uncle Home. ”

"Then hurry back, let's go, Xiaoyu. Su Zhenguo pulled Su Chenyu and hurriedly went up to chase Li Yuhan, who had already left: "Xiaohan, wait for us." ”

Su Zhenguo pulled Su Chenyu and followed Li Yuhan home. Su Chenyu's family lives in the village, there are five families living in a large courtyard, Su Chenyu's family lives here, and of course, there is a special relative of the Su family who also lives here.

"Dad, Mom, I called Xiaoyu here. Li Yuhan entered the hall and said to Su Zhenbang, who was eating lunch, and Feng Ying, who was sitting on the side.

"Brother, sister-in-law. Su Zhenguo was as casual as he was at home, holding a peach on the table and nibbling on it.

"You kid knows how to run around, and in the afternoon your dad will rest and take you to the hospital for another check-up. Feng Ying still has palpitations when she mentions the events of that day, and she passed out at that time.

"Dad, I don't want to go to the hospital, I'm all right. "Su Chenyu really doesn't want to go to the hospital.

"No, you have to go to what the doctor told you. Feng Ying's face darkened suddenly.

"Xiaoyu, obedient, is there anything terrible in the hospital, just go for a check-up and don't give an injection!" Su Zhenbang said kindly.

That day, he was almost frightened and panicked, looking at Su Chenyu who was dying, the feeling was even more terrible than the tragic war back then. Over the years, he has always felt ashamed of his children and wife, and he was in the army when Feng Ying gave birth to Su Chenyu. Later, when Su Chenyu was 2 years old, he was almost taken away by death due to a serious illness, and he was in the southwest battlefield at that time. At that time, Feng Ying almost snatched his son from the hands of death in fear, and because he was born a little weak, his body was even weaker after a serious illness. So he has always felt ashamed of his wife and children, he has loved Feng Ying and Su Chenyu all these years, and he has never said anything heavy.

"yes, what's so scary, isn't it just going to a hospital. Su Zhenguo whimpered heartlessly, the peach in his mouth hadn't been swallowed yet.

"Then Daddy bought me something, and I'll go. Su Chenyu, who is thirty years old with a mental age, said and demanded like a child.

"Okay, you can buy anything. Su Zhenbang smiled and agreed.

Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, against his father's back, Su Chenyu felt that this qiē seemed to be warm, and this qiē seemed too unreal. It turns out that when I was a child, I felt like this when I sat on my father's bicycle, and the touch that I had long forgotten to bury in the deepest part of my memory was so beautiful and so nostalgic.

Su Chenyu enjoys this qiē very much, enjoys the warmth and warmth of this home, and enjoys experiencing the good memories of this era of childhood again-because this qiē will never be forgotten again, and this qiē will always remain in the memory. Because he loves this land, because he loves this family, because he loves all the people in this family, and because he can never forget the beauty that disappeared in time, he came back and returned to this era when everything was so beautiful.
