21. Go ahead
Hearing that his brother was sent down, Le Tian was so anxious that he went into the city after dinner to ask what was going on.
The brothers met at the factory gate. I saw my brother carrying luggage, carrying a net bag with basins and miscellaneous items in his left hand, and his right hand was pulled by Chairman Wang to say goodbye. Chairman Wang gave him the red sandalwood erhu and said that no one in the factory would pull it, so you should keep it as a souvenir. Go to the city to sit in the factory, drink tea and rest...... Chairman Wang was reluctant, and he didn't know if he had a conscience or pretended.
Le Tian took the net pocket and said: Brother, if you let it go, our family's life will be even more difficult. I, Lemei Legu worked hard day and night, and I had to pay the production team upside down. You have poor physical strength and have never done farm work, but I am afraid that you will not even be able to earn back food and grass.
The elder brother was silent, Le Tian was afraid of stabbing his self-esteem, so he changed the topic and said that the value of the work was too low, and everyone could not work hard.
The elder brother still didn't speak, just walked with his head bored.
Le Tian also said that in the past two days, Gou Xiaofeng has been very happy, and Xiaoqu has been humming non-stop, gloating! Wang Xiaosi was the deputy leader of the dictatorship of the masses, and the villain was determined to yell at us all day long. Brother, I can bear it when I work hard and tired, but it's too hard to die at his feet! The old and the old who are not good at the death of the old are dead, and now it is time to focus on the politics of our generation!
Rakuda choked up. The fifteen-year-old child was short and thin, and his back was a little hunched because of the long years of carrying burdens.
Seeing the eldest brother rolling into the door with his luggage on his back, Lemei Legu realized that the roof of the house had collapsed, and whimpered and cried.
"Tuk! Tuk Tuk! "Le Tian opened the door latch, and the person who came was Lu Ernian. He looked back and waved his hand to silence. Close the door and whisper: Lesheng is back? I have something important to say to him.
Lu Ernian has a strong physique, and he is the best player in the team, and it is not difficult for him to be a bully. The ingredients are not good, and they have sympathy for the same disease, and Letian Lemei Legu regards him as a brother, and others who have been present for two years dare not bully them too much.
Jiang Lesheng saw the tense and mysterious appearance of the second year, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough-
At the reception meeting in the evening, Wang Huaibing said that Jiang Lesheng was going to be sent back! We poor middle peasants are tired and tired to earn work, and the beads of sweat fall to the ground and fall eight petals, how can we allow him to earn wages comfortably? …… The leader of the brigade instructed that the group of the dictatorship of the masses should strengthen supervision, and that he was highly educated and almost 18 years old, and was able to wear a hat. The hats of the four types of elements are carried in the hands of the masses, and they are not honest and can be worn at any time!
Ernian said anxiously: Lesheng, you have an idea! These people are ruthless, Lehua was made to death at the beginning, and Secretary Ma couldn't do anything about them. How can you have a good life in the future? It's too late to find a stubble and put on a "hat"!
Jiang Lesheng's scalp tingled when he heard this, and his head was buzzing. Xu Qihu and Wang Huaibing tried to use the hand of the "dictatorship of the masses" to turn decentralization into supervision and transformation, and kill them all!
With the fear of the coming catastrophe, the sleepiness of Letian and Lemei Le Valley, which had been tired for a day, disappeared. Whenever the Zhuang family encounters a disaster, they are always accustomed to bow down to the Bodhisattva and the ancestral tablet, in order to turn evil into good fortune and eliminate disaster safety. The statue of the Bodhisattva of his family and the ancestral plaque "Shift (Customs) Broken (Old and New)" were smashed, and now they are the chairman statue distributed by the production team. The four children burned incense and knelt down and prayed in unison. The old man in the smoke of incense looks like a bodhisattva.
The lamp oil was running out, and the flame was fading. Legu proposed: Brother, kneeling until dawn is not a solution. Ask your aunt for an idea, I'll go with you! Before his father died, he asked his aunt to give the children an idea in case of a major event.
The uncle asked the reason and sighed again and again: Xu Qihu is ruthless, and he has done countless bad things with one hand. Last year's university entrance examination ruined your future, and if you fall into his hands, you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed!
My aunt wiped away her tears and said, "Go!" Say nothing that can't fall into his hands.
Uncle shook his head: Where are you going? Wandering without a hukou? Begging?
My aunt was full of indignation: Go to the northwest and go to Xinjiang! The state called for support for the construction of the frontier, and asked the commune to go to Xinjiang, but the commune did not approve the county!
Without waiting for my brother to speak, Legu said: No, aunt. The year before last, Sister Lehua signed up, and was taken down by Xu Qihu.
Uncle pondered for a long time and said: Lesheng is a boy who reads a lot, and the surname Xu does not let go!
Like ice water pouring head-on, Jiang Lesheng got goosebumps all over his body. He took out the household registration transfer certificate, and the transfer address column read "Pailou Brigade of Pailou Commune".
**Spicy tears rolled in his eyes, and he resolutely said: I would rather die than return to the archway brigade! Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains don't believe that there is no place for me to stand, and there is no home everywhere!
Uncle analysis: If the household registration does not fall, it is not counted as a person in the Pailou Brigade. Instead of suffocating Xu Qihu's palms, it is better to go out with a transfer certificate, which is better than nothing.
When my aunt thought about her nephew's young age and the uncertain future of her hometown, she couldn't help but feel sad. She wiped away her tears and encouraged: Tang Seng is difficult to obtain the true scriptures, how many hardships there may be in a person's life, and how many people have survived in desperation.
My uncle asked me to write a letter to the third sister Lehua to see if the farm over there would accept people? The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and it is better to stand there than to go around without relatives. No, then consider going to Xinjiang. Thirty-six plans to go up, escape from the tiger's mouth and leave the green mountains!
After Jiang Lehua came to Maoshan, he passed the assessment and became a primary school teacher for his children and had his own home.
In the past two years, bad news came from Jiang'an's hometown three times, and each time she was grief-stricken: first, Grandma Ma died of illness at the age of 83; Then her father Jiang Qingyu vomited blood and died, although it was a matter of time before she was ill for a long time, she would never forget the scene of saying goodbye to her father before leaving; In September last year, she was looking forward to the good news of her younger brother Lesheng's admission to the college entrance examination, but in the end, she waited for the bad news that Sun Shan was bleeding! No matter how Ma Shukui persuaded her, she washed her face with tears for two whole days, and did not eat or drink a drop of water. The younger brother's future was ruined, and the third sister's heart was broken.
Fortunately, Lesheng has a job since then, and his sensible younger brother has written to him that he has grown up, and the third sister no longer has to worry about the family. Unexpectedly, after just a year of stability, he was sent back to his hometown and was in trouble!
The third sister was anxious. Immediately reply to the letter and take care of it, the household registration migration certificate must not fall into the hands of Xu Qihu, that is called self-surrender! Shukui and she have to do everything they can to rescue him!
The next day, the third sister wrote again, informing them that many people had run away from the "blind stream" and fled the famine to join relatives and friends in Maoshan, and that the farm labor was insufficient, and they were preparing to collect a batch of "long-term workers" and give them grain to eat when they left their temporary accounts.
On the fourth day, the third sister wrote a third letter, saying that the storyteller had approached the farm leader, and the head of the personnel section was very interested in your high school graduation and promised to give priority to hiring. "You are ready to come, and you will set off immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
God has mercy on the afflicted! He couldn't help but think of the two poems he wrote when he was a child, "The fluorescent light flickered, according to me and walked through the night", wasn't the letter a firefly that broke the night?
Hearing that her son was going to the Great Northern Wilderness, her mother trembled in bed and repeated those two sentences: Lesheng, don't go, what should I do if you go?
When the third sister left home, her father's entrustment was still in her ears. He suddenly felt how shameful it was to leave behind his mother and young siblings! This family is like a wrecked ship that is about to sink, how can he abandon the ship and run away?
Le Tian said resolutely: The three of us can't help it, while you haven't grabbed their palms, go quickly, it's the best policy!
Lemei said: If you work hard and get a little more angry, what else can you do to us? You can go with confidence, I will take care of my mother.
"Brother, it's best for you to go out to work and earn some money and send it back. You're stuck at home, and we don't even have a nostril to breathe! "Legu people are small but not bad.
Lesheng opened his arms and hugged his younger siblings tightly. Four weak bodies, four beating hearts, and eight eyes filled with tears.
Jiang Lesheng took the initiative to visit Wang Huaibing, paralyzing him and stabilizing him, so as not to leave the front festival and cause extraneous branches.
When he entered the door, he took out two packs of "Daqianmen" cigarettes, pretended to be very respectful, and said: I responded to the call and returned to my hometown, and I still relied on Captain Wang to take care of me for a long time. Cigarettes are condolences to the delegated personnel, and they are considered to be greeting gifts.
Wang Huaibing immediately smiled when he saw the hardcover "big front door": You are polite. What kind of meeting gift do you want from the villagers...... Lesheng, you don't know, right? I've been to your factory specifically for your business.
Before leaving the factory, Chairman Wang told him that Jiang Lesheng was not on the list of decentralization in the factory, and it was not for the resolute request of the Pailou Brigade, and it was impossible for the staff school to make such a decision. At this moment, Wang Huaibing doesn't admit himself, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
This guy lies and doesn't make drafts: your family is old and young, you don't go to work to earn a salary, where is the money to repair the house? How can there be money to post the production team? I went to ask the leader not to let you go, but I didn't expect to be rejected, saying that I would do things according to the policy, and not one of the people who entered the factory after five or eight years would not stay!
The fragrance of the "big front door" stimulated Wang Huaibing's sense of smell, he bared his teeth and smiled, took out a stick and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, put it into his mouth and lit it, squinted his eyes and inhaled a small half, and the long cigarette ash could not be removed.
He smoked and talked about Silas: You have never done manual work since you were a child, just adapt to it. The number of archway brigades is high in your culture, and there will be a pen to take care of you in the future. As long as you are behaving and being honest, I won't be difficult for you. By the way, Gou Accountant Xiaohu will graduate from junior high school soon, and you can help make up the class and let him get his graduation certificate. The two of you had a little misunderstanding in the past, and the affairs of the previous life were written off!
As soon as he heard the words "rules and regulations are honest", Jiang Lesheng suddenly felt a chill. Wang Huaibing offered to help Xu Xiaohu make up for the class, so he deliberately asked: My sister was not allowed to teach because of her bad composition, and Accountant Gou was not afraid that her son would be influenced by me?
Wang Huaibing was displeased: Hi! I just said that I didn't talk about the past, why did I come again? Xiaohu can forget you when you get your graduation certificate?
Jiang Lesheng said before leaving: Report first today, the house needs to be cleaned up, the bed collapsed, the stove is broken, and the pot is leaking...... Flat baskets, mud baskets, and other farm tools should be prepared. Going to work is like a worker, and I strive to be a model member!
The long-awaited telegram came: wire transfer of 30 yuan, departing for Shanghai at the speed of taking a boat to Dalian and transferring to Maoshan, the terminal station of Harbin
Jiang Lesheng wandered in the room distractedly. Are you really going to leave your homeland? Born in Si and living in Si's old house, I'm going to leave you?.
On the left side of the portrait of the leader above the old table, there is a New Year's painting "Lin Chong Running at Night", which was a New Year's gift from the factory union last year. On the screen, Lin Chong is wearing a red tasseled hat on his head, wearing a big gun and picking a wine gourd, and he is in a mountain temple in the heavy snow. He couldn't help but be shocked: the New Year's paintings purchased by the trade union are all based on historical masterpieces, such as "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Daiyu Funeral Flowers" and so on. Was it a coincidence or fate?
The next day, I went to the bus station to buy a ticket, took a long-distance bus to change to the Yangtze River ferry to Shanghai, and crossed the sea from Shanghai to Dalian.
The ticket window is pasted with the "Notice": After receiving the notice from the superior, from now on, the purchase of long-distance tickets outside the county must be certified by the commune. 1961。 12。 21。 This is said to be an attempt to prevent the outflow of the population.
Worried that he couldn't buy a ticket, someone suggested that he take a small steamer and take a boat without proof, it was too slow.
I heard that the third sister had not seen rice since she went to the Northeast, and the eldest sister and the second sister were distressed, so they saved ten catties of rice and glutinous rice, and brought a few handfuls of reed leaves to wrap zongzi; The college dream was shattered, but he still didn't give up, he brought all the high school textbooks and review materials, and if he had the opportunity, he would have to take the university entrance examination, not for five years in three years!
The rosewood erhu is also brought with me, and there are joys and sorrows to pour out on the strings.
The most precious document is the high school diploma with a steel stamp on the photo; The most important thing to lose is the hukou and food supply migration certificate, which proves that he is not a "blind stream", and a "quantitative" hukou.
It's parting dinner again. The family of five was silent, and what they had to say had already been said. He didn't let his two sisters see him off, and the goal was too big. He didn't go to work for a week, and people kept spying on him.
In winter, it gets dark early, families close early, and the lights in the village go out. Le Sheng and Le Tian carried their luggage on their backs, and went on the road without a sound, and arrived at the dock a quarter of an hour before the boat left at eight o'clock.
The more and more passengers gathered, begging the waiter and the old man to let people on the boat quickly, saying that they couldn't fit any more people, and the boat was overturned. Everyone, you and he salute cigarettes, and the old man here and now is undoubtedly the most authoritative.
The gangplanks were set up, and people carried fish on their shoulders, and soon the cabins were filled.
The old man pulled off the springboard. A few black shadows chased after them, shouting not to drive the boat as they ran! Wait a minute! Two people took advantage of the ship's preoccupation and jumped on it. The hull of the ship is shaking, and the boat is shouting to drive away! I can't go to the top anymore!
Those who got on the boat didn't have time to get on the boat, and their attitudes were completely different.
The old man untied the cable, and helped the boat with a penny, and the steamer went to the center of the river.
The diesel engine was started, and choking oil smoke came out of the stern. The whistle sounded, and the boat set sail in the thick of the night.
Jiang Lesheng snuggled to the hatch with blurred teary eyes, and waved frequently to the figure of his younger brother standing under the street lamp.
