1976 was an extraordinary year for China, and many years later, Luli recalled that two things in this year are worth remembering forever: first, the natural disaster that happened around him; The other is that for the first time in his life, he discovered that there are really people who beat their chests and cried for the death of someone they don't know at all!

Together with the members of the commune, educated youth, doctors, nurses, commanders and fighters of the disaster relief, they stood on the ruins and waited until the loudspeaker conveyed the bad news, and a mournful roar sounded in the sky above the merchant forest! Everyone took off their hats at the same time and covered their faces with their hands, and Luli could clearly see large expanses of tears welling up from his fingers. This filled his heart with reverence: what does a person do and do? In order to get the admiration of so many people and the love of so many people? After he left, to get so many tears?

The train rumbled, all the way to the west, Lu Li sat in the window seat of the carriage, lowered his head, and thought about things: This morning, Chang Xinghai, Hu Chusan, and Meng Xiaobiao had just been sent away.

Chang Xinghai's one of his legs was broken, because the injury was more serious, and finally had to be amputated, and the postoperative recovery was not particularly good, because of malnutrition, thin into a handful of bones, Chang's parents rushed from Wu (Han), and saw that the originally healthy and beautiful son had become such a miserable appearance, and the husband and wife cried loudly!

Chang Xinghai became disabled (there was no such thing as a disabled person at that time), and naturally he could no longer go to the countryside in the merchant forest, so the husband and wife went through the corresponding procedures and took their children to board the car and travel away. Lu Li and Xu Yunjian personally sent them to the train station, and Chang Xinghai also shed tears, "Xiao Lu, what happened at the beginning, it was my fault, for the sake of us all educated youths, forget about it, right?" ”

"I've never held a grudge against you." Lu Li stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chang Xinghai, "Xiao Chang, go back and study hard and continue to work hard!" Leg ......,"

"I understand, I know." Chang Xinghai also barely squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be heroic and said: "We are all good soldiers of the great leader, how can we be intimidated by this difficulty?" Rest assured! Oh, by the way, when you pass by Wu (Han) in the future, don't forget buddy, come and see me. ”

"Definitely! I promise! ”

sent away Chang Xinghai, followed by two educated youths in Guangdong, their bodies were not broken, but only a left arm and a right leg were put in a plaster, and Shang Lin couldn't take care of them here, so after discussing with his superiors, he decided to let them go back to their hometown in Guangdong Province, and after recuperating from their injuries, they would go to the battlefield again.

When they were about to separate, Lu Li took out the smashed camphor wood box from the ruins of his house, took out the money his aunt brought him, and took out three large unity sheets and stuffed them into Hu Chusan's pocket, "Xiaoxiao...... Don't, don't ......"

"Your trip is too far, and there is no one at home to take care of you, keep this money, you may need it on the road."

Hu Chusan, a young man in his twenties, was moved to tears, "Xiaoxiao, you are a friend...... you are really embarrassed (Cantonese, no words, impeccable meaning)!" I'll borrow this money from you, and I'll send it back to you when I get home!" ”

Lu Li couldn't understand his Cantonese at all, so he clapped his hand with a smile, "Have a good journey, remember to take care of your injuries, and come back as soon as you recover from your injuries, and let's continue to work together in the revolution!" ”

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

Lu Li sighed faintly, suddenly felt the speed of the car slow down, looked out the window, and had already entered the Tianjin City, "Xiaoxiao," Xu Yunjian was the first to stand up, he was already impatient, "Get ready, we're home." ”

A group of young people went home for the first time after the earthquake, the weather at night was already a little cool, and the temporary construction on the road to peace was next to the temporary construction, and the shacks were crowded with shacks, the miserable and desolate, it was really not too much to describe! Heping Road, which was originally one of the main roads of Tianjin, has now become a huge vegetable market, full of people, garbage everywhere, and in such a season, a stream of sour smell rushes straight to the nose tube.

The department store, one of the landmark buildings in Tianjin City, survived the earthquake, but it was also a huge pain, large pieces of the wall fell off, revealing the hard granite inside, the front of the street, the glass was not left, the hole of the black hole, like an open blood basin mouth, even the revolving door of the import, the glass was all broken, and only a few metal pillars were left as supports.

The worst thing is the roof of the building, there was originally a four-sided bell upstairs, and the top of the bell tower is a metal lightning protection device, and now these things are all invisible - later I heard Yu Fang say that the base of the big clock and the lightning rod on it were knocked down, hanging there diagonally, and people were worried that they would be in danger at any time, so they were dismantled.

On the day of the demolition, there were 10,000 empty alleys on Heping Road, and it seemed that all the people of Tian (Tianjin) City came to watch, and it was very lively, and some people picked up some scrap iron and took it back to be sold as rags!

He didn't know where his aunt lived, and he broke up with Xu Yunjian, Zhao Min took him to find the couple, saying that they were the mother, but only Yu Fang was alone, Wu Ting was still not honest even after such a natural disaster, this child seemed to have no heart and lungs, and he was messing around every day.

Seeing his aunt struggling to lift the kettle on the stove, Lu Li stepped forward and grabbed the handle, "I'll come!" ”

Yu Fang was suddenly stunned, how many times had she seen the child in her dream appear in front of her, and the woman was stunned, "Little ......"

"Auntie, I'm back!"

Yu Fang's lips twitched, and she suddenly raised her hand and gave him a slap! Her body trembled like a fallen leaf in the cold wind! "Xiaoxiao, why did you come back, you didn't see your uncle for the last time! You lack morality! You're not going to come back to give your uncle his last ride?! He raised you so big for nothing! Bao Kun, Xiao ...... Small, kid...... It's okay, he's back! ”

Yu Fang's cry instantly shattered the Great Wall of Steel in Lu Lijiu's heart! His hands were clenched, and tears were streaming down his face! "Aunt......"

Yu Fang hugged the child and cried loudly!

Zhao Min stood aside, and waited for the two of them to cry almost, then came over to persuade, "Auntie, Luli is back, don't cry." ”

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry! Thank you, girl. Xiaoxiao, don't you want the girl to sit inside? ”

The three of them wiped their tears, lowered their heads and walked into the temporary construction shed, with corrugated boards and asbestos boards on their heads, surrounded by wooden piles, which were simple and low in safety factor, which made people worry that a gust of wind might blow them down! "Auntie, you live here?"

"Where else can you stay? This is still your uncle's house, and the street to find someone to help me, I'm an old lady, how can I get it myself? ”

"Winter is coming, how cold is it?"

"If it's really cold, go home and sleep, hey, it's scary to live there, and I don't know if it will collapse at night."

Lu Li frowned deeply, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "Auntie, don't be afraid, you can't collapse!" Such an earthquake may not be once in thousands of years, and when the aftershocks are almost over, you will go back to live, and I will accompany you. ”

"How do you know? Even now, sometimes I hang out at night. ”

This thought came suddenly, and Lu Li didn't know how to explain his argument just now, so he asked Yu Fang.

Zhao Min smiled on the side, "Auntie, what you said about the swaying was caused by passing a car, and it has nothing to do with the real earthquake, look at this temporary shed, there is really an earthquake, can it withstand it?" ”

Yu Fang couldn't make up her mind a little, she didn't have to think about it now, she held Lu Li's hand and went to the bedside, "Xiaoxiao, you ...... How many days can you stay when you come back this time? Still leaving? ”

"Gotta go, but don't worry, I'll try to ...... Stay for a few days. ”

"Do you have to go?" Yu Fang couldn't hide her disappointment and regret, "Then, go back this time, why don't we come back?" ”

Luli couldn't answer this question, he shook his head, "Auntie, uncle...... I want to go to my uncle's grave." ”

At the mention of her husband, Yu Fang cried again, crying and complaining, "What grave are you going to?" It's all cremated in a pile! ”

The number of people who died due to the disaster in Tian (Tianjin) City was far less than that of Tangshan, and Rao was so, and it greatly exceeded the speed at which the funeral home could be cremated. Luli didn't want to fail to fulfill such a request,

He didn't dare to shed tears in front of his aunt, so he had to hide in a place where there was no one and cry bitterly!

The first to return to the old house in Wangjia Hutong, all the furniture in the house was shaken down, and even a few iron pipes supporting the dark building fell out of the wall, and the bed drawer on top lost its support and slid to the ground, like a huge guillotine guillotine, leaning obliquely on the ground, the sheets, mosquito nets, pillows, mats, and books that were originally placed on it were scattered everywhere, he looked at these and was a little stupid: so ...... Severely damaged, how did my aunt and little sister escape? Thank God!

Later, he learned that his aunt and mother and daughter did not go upstairs to sleep on the night of the incident - hot air rise is a simple principle of physics, the dark building is nearly two meters above the ground, it is fine in winter, and when it comes to summer, it is almost the same as a cage drawer! The mother and daughter slept on the bed downstairs and escaped by luck.

Lu Li shook his head, feeling helpless, the house was too messy, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to clean it up, so when he turned around, he found Xu Yunjian and them, and asked them to help.

All the buildings in Tian (Tianjin) City are similar to here, although the house has not fallen, but the big cracks on the wall are cracked, the front and back are transparent, how to see how it is a dangerous house, how to live in it? As a result, the temporary construction became a shelter, and this situation lasted until around 1981, when the citizens were allowed to move back to their old homes under the systematic arrangement and comprehensive maintenance of the state.

Lu Li slept in the old house in the alley at night, and went to Linjian on Heping Road during the day to take care of his aunt and daughter, "Your eldest sister and your second sister have both sent letters, they are fine, children and adults are fine." ”

"This year...... They replied ...... Are you coming? ”

"I don't know, it's not written in the letter."

"Auntie, if they don't come back, will you go to Tangshan with me?"

"Huh?"

"It's cold during the New Year, and you don't dare to go back to live alone, how can you spend the winter in this temporary shed? Come with me to Tangshan, where the rebuilding of houses has already begun, and the People's Liberation Army and many, many people from all over the country will come to help, probably faster than the city of Tianjin. ”

"This, my hukou is still in Tian (Tianjin)? Is it okay to go there? What do I eat and drink? ”

"Are you still afraid of going hungry with me?" Lu Li said with a smile: "Aunt, it's not me who blows with you, Lu Li is there, and now he is one of the best characters." Really, I can assure you. ”

Yu Fang still can't make up her mind, the child goes to the countryside in response to the call of the party and the country, what is it to go by himself? And don't go back like this, you won't come back, right? I am an urban hukou, and I have become a rural hukou for no reason, what is it called? "Or don't want it, I'm afraid that there will be a change in the policy of coming back, so I won't be allowed to come back?"

Lu Li didn't understand his aunt's worries, and he didn't dare to force it, "Then forget it." But aunt, you can't spend the winter here, you can either have the courage to go back to live with me, or go to Tangshan together. ”

Yu Fang thought about it for a while, but didn't answer immediately, "Xiaoxiao, that Zhao family girl, you have to thank and thank others, she has nothing to do with our family, a word for me, the girl went to Tangshan, this favor is too great!" Where do they live? I'm with you, go thank you? ”

"Done." After talking to her aunt, Lu Li went to find Zhao Min, and her family also moved to a temporary construction shed.

The buildings of this special era are all located nearby, and the Zhao family has built two rooms, one for their sisters, and one for the husband and wife with their younger brothers. As for Zhao Jian, he now works in a watch factory, where conditions are relatively good. Originally, there were certain remedies for all the workers affected by the disaster in the factory, but there were too many monks and too little porridge to share, especially those like Zhao Jian who had not been working for a long time, in principle, they were ignored, but Zhao Jian and Xie Junjun were friends, and Xie Junjun was a figure who never dared to offend the whole factory. I usually don't come back at home, but I only come back on Mondays (this factory is closed every Tuesday).

But Zhao Jian came back today, because Xie Jun told him that when he went to Zhao's house to look for her the day before yesterday, the girl's attitude towards him was very cold, which made him feel a little inappropriate: It wouldn't be thinking about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, right? Having helped their family so much, what does this girl want to do? Want to kick yourself? Xie Junjun had something in his heart to ask, but looking at Zhao Min's delicate complexion and beautiful face like a painting, Xie Junjun was ashamed of himself, and he didn't dare to question in person, so he had to leave in a gloomy manner.

This is true for Zhao Min, he is not so gentle and frugal to Zhao Jian, he brought him in, and scolded him, "Don't think it's over when you come in, you can let you in, and you can get out!" ”

Zhao Jian was extremely scared, he definitely couldn't afford to provoke Xie Jun, so he hurriedly got off work, rushed home, and shouted when he entered the door, "Xiaomin? Xiaomin? ”

"What are you shouting? Why? Zhao Min returned to his side from his parents' temporary shed and talked to his brother.

"What? Xiao Xie came that day, what is your attitude? What are you going to do? ”

Zhao Min rolled his eyes and understood the situation, "It just so happens that you are here, you turn around and say, this matter is over." ”

"What...... Forget it? ”

"It's me and him, I'm tired of that person, don't let him come in the future."

Zhao Jian's face turned red, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, "No, absolutely not!" Let me tell you Zhao Min, there is no door for this matter! You've got to have sex with him! If you don't him, I'll ......."

Zhao Min's pretty face was raised high, glaring at his brother, "What do you want to do?" What else do you want to do with me? ”

"I'll smack you with a big mouth."

"You dare!?"

"Dare to ......" Zhao Jian was so angry that there was smoke on his head, and turned around to look for the guy, "I want to leave you alone today, you ......" He grabbed a broom from the corner of the temporary construction shed and held it up, "You say ,......"

"Say? And Xie Armed Thing, don't dream! There are no doors! ”

Zhao Jian looked at his sister's calm face, the broom in his hand was raised again and again, and he didn't dare to fall down after all, "What is this for?" Mother Zhao rushed in, "What are you two doing?" If you don't see it for a while, you can't do it! Xiao Jian, you throw the broom there! There are guests at home, and others know about it, jokes or not? ”

Zhao Jianwei thought about it, and said what had happened, "Mom, look at her, is there anything so unusual?" Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? How will I behave in the future in the unit? ”

"You deserve it! Who told you to sell your sister? ”

These words are really hurtful, and Zhao's mother can't hang up, "Xiaomin, what do you say?" Did you say that about your brother? How did he sell you? ”

"Isn't it? Isn't it just for him to enter the watch factory? Or am I wrong? The more Zhao Min spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and in the end, he also cried.

A quarrel that happened here naturally spread to the other side, Lu Li and his aunt sat opposite Zhao's father, and they didn't hear it - in this case, as outsiders, it is more appropriate for them to pretend to be confused, "This third child, it's just disobedient," Zhao's father smiled awkwardly, "By the way, have you eaten?" Let's eat here in the evening, it's nothing good,......"

"I won't eat it," Yu Fang shook her head with a smile, "There is a small one at home, let the neighbors watch it temporarily, and I have to go back after a while." ”

"Don't, it's hard for you to come here, let's leave after eating. Xiao Lu, do you persuade your aunt? ”

Luli listened to the louder and louder noise next to him, and shook his head with a wry smile, "No, it's better to go back...... bar. Auntie, let's go. ”

"Yes, yes." The two of them got up to leave, and as soon as the door of the Linjian shed opened, Zhao Jian broke in, "Dad......" He saw Lu Li at a glance, turned around and shouted, "Xiaomin, are you for him?" Didn't you share it with him? Why did he come again? Ay! What are you doing here? Get out! ”

Zhao's father made his son unable to get off the stage in front of the guests, his face was gloomy, and he slapped his son head-on, "People are coming to see me, why are you driving people away?" It's not your turn to call the shots in this family! ”

Zhao Min's mother and daughter also followed, and when they saw Lu Li, the girl's courage suddenly increased, "That's right, what's wrong with him?" I like him, can you handle it? ”

Zhao Jian was even more angry, his sister was too disagreeable! Actually admitted it to your face? A burst of anger rushed towards Lu Li, and he raised his hand and slapped him!

If it was in normal times, with Lu Li's reaction, he would definitely not be able to fight, but this time, his mood was also chaotic, Zhao Min's words gave him a great impact, he didn't expect the other party to make a move, this slap was solid! With his head tilted, his body snatched out half a step. "Tiny?" Yu Fang felt sorry for the child and held him, "Are you okay?" Auntie, look at it, don't break it? ”

"I'm fine."

Now Yu Fang didn't do it, and glared at the Zhao family and his wife, "Old Zhao, what are you kids doing?" If you have something to say, how can you come up and do it? The two of us came today, and they were sent to the door to call you? ”

The Zhao family husband and wife were very embarrassed, and they were even more embarrassed, their son's behavior was very rude and unreasonable no matter what, one raised his hand, the same mouth slapped on his son's face, and the other hurriedly apologized.

Yu Fangli ignored it and took Lu Li's hand, "Xiaoxiao, let's go, hurry up!" Good fellow, stay any longer, your little life must be thrown here! ”

This sentence is extremely detrimental! The husband and wife of the Zhao family blushed and had thick necks, sent out the Linjian shed, apologized without a mouth, saw the two go away, and when they came back, they worked hard with Zhao Jian!

Lu Li was slapped in the mouth for no reason, although it hurt a little, but it was only a moment of effort, but his heart was in a mess, Zhao Min ......, how could she ......? Oops, the boy shook his head wildly, he couldn't think about it anymore.
