Time flies, cold comes and goes, and it seems that in a blink of an eye, it is the season to leave. Although Lu Li had already made a decision, looking at his aunt's familiar face with a gloomy look every day, his heart still throbbed, "Uncle...... Mom, don't ...... Bear the ...... for me Heart, I ......"

"Xiaoxiao, come there and write a letter, don't let the family worry, you know?" Yu Fang turned his back, lowered his head and stuffed his clothes into the camphor wood box, "Aunt took you some money, put it under the box, and if it is useful, take it out." ”

“…… Aunt? ”

"The poor are rich, obedient." Yu Fang closed the lid of the box, turned his head to look at the child who was already taller than himself, his heart was sour, and he swept the belly of his finger over his face, "When I first came, I was still so ,......young" Yu Fang looked like crying and laughing, her eyes were full of water, and her voice trembled and said: "Now you have to go out by yourself?" Tiny, get there...... Obedient? ”

Luli closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and smiled as always, "Don't worry...... I'll write when I arrive." ”

Yu Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore, whimpering and crying, tears sliding down her cheeks, and crying: "Xiaoxiao, you ...... When you were a child, your aunt always ...... Don't hold a grudge against you...... Auntie, huh? ”

Lu Yongli's eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time! "Auntie, you ...... me Good ......, it's my ...... Shengdu ...... How can I ...... if I can't repay enough? What about holding a grudge against you? ”

Yu Fang howled for it, and slapped the child's neck and back while crying, "You lack morality!" Why are you so good at talking now? My aunt didn't hurt you in vain, but she didn't hurt you in vain! ”

Wu Baokun came in and glanced at it, "Okay, cry!" Xiaoxiao went not far away, much closer than his two sisters, and came back for the New Year, only a few months? ”

Yu Fang turned around and scolded her husband angrily, "It's all you!" If it weren't for you, Xiaoxiao wouldn't necessarily have to go! ”

Wu Baokun was startled and quickly shrank out.

On August 19, Lu Li and Xu Yunjian boarded the train, and Li Xiaoping, Zhang Qing, and Zhao Min stood on the platform, raised their faces and looked at him, "Brother Li, write a letter there, don't forget our brothers." ”

"Where...... This? Luli smiled and leaned out of the window, looking at these friends who had formed friendships over the years, "When I come back, I still count on ...... How many brothers take care of it? ”

"Didn't say that." Li Xiaoping said loudly: "Hey, Lu Li, my father said, let me go to the police academy, and become a policeman after graduation, and when you come back, I will give you a household registration." ”

Lu Li and Xu Yunjian laughed, but Li Xiaoping didn't laugh, "Lu Li, seriously, after so many years, I still don't accept what happened when you fought with me!" When you come back, let's compare and contrast again. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed Xu Yunjian's head back, "Brothers, what should you do, let the two of them say a few words." ”

Zhang Qing avoided a few things, and Zhao Min walked a few steps forward with a pale face, "Lu Li......, you, write to me there." ”

Luli nodded silently, "Don't worry, oh, last time...... Me and you...... Do you remember what you said? ”

Zhao Min recalled, "Are those words you heard from your teacher?" I remembered. I told my mom and dad, and they agreed, so I went on to high school. ”

"That'...... That's it. Lu Li smiled, he also felt it occasionally, and said to Zhao Min what Yang Shiguang said to him, "Wait a minute...... If there is, I won't, just write to ...... I. I teach you. ”

Zhao Min habitually spat him, and suddenly beckoned to him, "You come down?" I have something to say to you. ”

Lu Li looked at the time, there were less than ten minutes before the car, and the platform was full of people seeing off, thinking that there was no big problem, he explained to Xu Yunjian, and walked out of the carriage, "Yes...... Affair? ”

"Yes." Zhao Min got a little closer to him, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear and said, "When you come back, I'll ...... To give...... You. ”

Just this sentence made Lu Li have the most primitive reaction! looked at her with a stammering mouth, his face flushed, "You...... You...... Say? ”

"Phew! Didn't hear the pull! ”

"Tiny, driving? How did you go down for so long? ”

"Oh, oh." Lu Li agreed indiscriminately, stepped on the train, stood beside the conductor, and suddenly yelled, "I'm celebrating the New Year...... Just come back and wait for me! ”

The train started slowly, with a loud and boring sound of 'clang, clang', left Tian (Tianjin) Station, and galloped all the way east.

***************************************************************

Tangshan is about 120 kilometers away from Tian (Tianjin), together with the North (Beijing), forming a less standard equilateral triangle, three hours by train can be reached, the two carry their respective luggage, out of the railway station, there is not a lot of flow in the square in front of the station, compared to Tian (Tianjin), it seems to be much more simple and closed. "Xiaoxiao, where are we going now?"

Lu Li turned around to see that there were many young people standing in the square like them, looking around aimlessly, and at a glance, he knew that like them, they were all educated youths from the city, he took a few steps forward and said hello, "Huh? ”

The number of the other party was far more than them, there were twelve or thirteen, and the boy at the head was a strong man, like a door panel, "What's wrong?" Why? ”

Listening to his accent, Lu Li was even more relieved, "I ...... It's the day...... Tsu, you ...... Go...... Where? ”

The other party's expression became relaxed, and he was in the same mood as him, and stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner, "I'm from Hedong Red Star, Luo Yaohua." ”

"I'm on the Long March...... of, Lou ...... Sharp. Luley turned around and pointed, "That's me...... Classmate ......, Xu Yunjian. ”

Luo Yaohua nodded and introduced him, most of them were from Red Star Middle School, and there were a few children who were not from the same school, but they were also children from nearby schools in the same district; At this time, the other children around the square gathered here one after another, and when they asked, they found out that they were all from Tian (Tianjin), and there were fifty-eight in total. After careful inquiry, although these people all went to the countryside to Tangshan, the specific destinations were not the same, some went to Fengrun, Fengnan, Luan (county), Luannan, and also to Leting and Qian'an counties.

Lu Li nodded, indicating that he understood, took out a map from his pocket, and put it on the ground to unfold it, this is the map of Tangshan that Wu Baokun found for him from the unit, which clearly depicts the locations of various districts and counties in the city, "Lu Li, how do we have to go?" ”

"Sit...... Sit in the car. Gotta gotta find...... People ask. ”

Only then did everyone notice that this boy who acted quite methodically was actually a stammer? One girl, who had probably never been in contact with someone with a stutter, burst out laughing. "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at you."

Luo Yaohua glared at the girl who was traveling with him and patted his chest, "You wait, I'll ask." Turning around and walking away, everyone waited for less than five minutes, and then he turned back again, "I asked, we should all have a car to pick it up, I don't know what's wrong, didn't come?" ”

"So what to do? Shall we go on our own? ”

"I can't go, I don't have a car today, I have to go tomorrow."

"Huh?" Everyone was a little stupid, and Lu Li clapped his palms, "We...... Go...... City...... Send! I...... Q: Where to go? ”

After inquiring about the address of the Tangshan Revolutionary Committee from a post office not far from the train station, and asking about the buses they should take, more than 50 young people who had just arrived in your place poured into the buses and headed for the city. The so-called Revolutionary Committee is located in the north (district) of the city, which is the political, economic, and cultural center of Tangshan, and all important facilities such as libraries, exhibition halls, workers' cultural palaces, Tangshan Labor Daily, Tangshan People's Radio, and some cultural and educational units are located in this district. (Note 1).

Everyone got out of the car, the Tangshan Revolutionary Committee building is not far from the street, this is a six-story building, two huge iron fence doors are ajar, there is a communication room built on one side of the door, Lu Li and others looked at the roadside a few times, sure it is here, everyone is pulling their luggage, about to go inside, "hey, hey......" Someone in the communication room immediately shouted through the window, and two men greeted him, "Do you want to drink?" ”

The Tangshan accents of the two people were very strong, but it didn't prevent them from being able to understand, "We...... It's from ...... Tian (Tianjin) intellectual youth," Lu Li said word by word: "Ben came to the train station, there should be a car sent by the local town government to pick it up, but now it is not?" What's going on with you guys? We responded to the call of the country and went to Tangshan, but we encountered such treatment, is this how you implement the decision of the great leader? ”

He spoke very slowly, but the two of them were sweating all over their heads, in that special era, a word, a very small detail can be done indefinitely! If you don't do it, you will be in danger of being ruined! The leader hurriedly waved his hand, "Yes, Comrade intellectuals are right, this matter is our negligence, please wait." One of them quickly returned to the communication room, picked up the phone and said, "I'm sorry, please wait a little longer, someone will come to receive you soon." ”

Sure enough, in a short time, two people ran out of the building of the Revolutionary Committee, and the two people in the communication room saw it at a glance and introduced them first, "The previous one is Director Zhen of the reception office, and behind is his secretary Xiao Zhang. ”

Director Zhen went all the way to the door, and apologized without a word, "I'm sorry, young comrades of knowledge, it is our work that has not been done at home, on behalf of the comrades of the 770,000 revolutionaries in Tangshan, I would like to express my sincere apologies to the young comrades of knowledge from Tianjin." ”

Lu Li and Luo Yaohua glanced at each other, and the two of them stepped forward at the same time, "Director Zhen, you...... Okay, I'm from Tianjin...... Intellectual Youth Representative, my name is Lu ...... Leigh, this is mine...... Companion and comrade-in-arms Luo Yaohua. ”

"Come, please come upstairs with us to talk, go upstairs to talk."

Dozens of children were brought upstairs to the conference room, where large photographs of the leaders were hung, along with supreme instructions such as 'never forget the class struggle', 'Be determined, not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory......';

"Hugh...... Just ...... No need," Lu Li said: "Director Zhen, we are responding to the call of the country, determined to be a brick of the revolution, where we need to move, to Tangshan to receive the re-education of the poor middle peasants, I think, please arrange for us as soon as possible, so that we can devote ourselves to the vigorous production and labor as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, this young comrade intellectuals is right, we are all willing to be a brick of the revolution in response to the needs of the revolution!" Director Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "This little comrade has a very high revolutionary consciousness, I want to learn from you!" ”

Luley smiled, "That? ”

"Oh, I've already contacted the local town government, for some reason, the car will come tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to each other then." Director Zhen said: "Today, please take a rest first, I will arrange a temporary place for you to stay, and I will talk about it tomorrow, okay?" ”
