On September 9, 1976, after 27 years of leading the people, a great leader, a great mentor, a great helmsman, and the eternal red sun in the eyes of the people of the whole country passed away.

On the 9.6 million square kilometers of the country, there was a slow joy of sorrow wafting everywhere, and countless simple workers and peasants shed tears like rain.

Liu Jun was learning English seriously with Mr. Zhou at that time, curled his tongue, and said something in his mouth, when the loudspeaker of the brigade suddenly broadcast mournful music, Mr. Zhou was stunned, and then beat his chest, and was uncontrollable.

I knew that Mr. was a lover with the surname, but I didn't expect his reaction to be so fierce. Liu Jun couldn't help but sigh a lot, the people of their generation really didn't have a good feeling for the leader.

And the reaction of the master and wife was completely unexpected. The old man completely ignored his face, sat down on the ground, slapped his hands on the yellow earth, and cried and chanted: "How can this be? The chairman has passed away, but what should I do? Old man, who will take off your rightist hat for you? ”

I see.

Mr. Zhou was stunned, and then shouted: "Shut up, how dare you talk nonsense?" ”

"Why don't I dare to say it? I don't want to spend a day like this, it's better to die......"

My wife is also a native of the Matang Bay Brigade and has never gone to school seriously. Mr. Zhou's mother gave him a baby kiss. Mr. is a kind man, and insists that his wife will not go to court.

Liu Jun couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It is said that when people reach middle age, everything is calm. In fact, in the face of major events, there are not many people who can really calm and balance. Mr. Zhou, a figure who has seen the world, can be called a rich school, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

Mrs. Zhou was angry and anxious, but he couldn't stop looking around nervously, but fortunately no one was there.

Liu Jun saw that it was not the end, and suddenly said, "Uncle, is there a radio?" ”

He didn't suspect that the news was fake. No one in the country dared to joke about such a thing. But Liu Jun knows that he is soft-spoken, and positive dissuasion will definitely not work, when this is a big matter, who cares about a little child? The only way to divert their attention is to draw their attention.

"Yes, there is a radio......"

Mr. Zhou woke up from a dream, nodded again and again, and ran to the adobe house to get the radio. The so-called "Xiucai doesn't go out, he can know the world's affairs", intellectuals like him, even if they don't have dinner and rice in the pot, the radio will never be used.

It was also in a hurry, Mr. Zhou actually forgot that his baby radio had been broken for a long time, no matter how Mr. made trouble, he just refused to make a sound. Mr. Zhou was so angry that he was about to drop the baby bump.

Liu Jun was anxious, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, don't worry, show me." ”

"You?"

Mr. Zhou's eyes widened suddenly.

Liu Jun nodded firmly: "Well, I learned it from my father." Understand some of the principles. ”

Mr. Zhou was suspicious of the letter, and with an attitude of believing in vain, he handed him the radio.

"Master, do you have scissors?"

It is estimated that tools such as screwdrivers and pliers will not be available in Mr.'s house, and only scissors will be used.

Mr. Zhou's radio is a "57 brand" five-tube semiconductor radio produced by Qingdao Radio No. 2 Factory. In the 21st century, it can be called an antique-level artifact. The advantage is that the structure is simple, and the disadvantage is that it is particularly prone to problems.

In his previous life, because of his family history, Liu Jun chose to study engineering (hehe, a bit of a gold on his face, in fact, he is a repairman), working outside for many years, he has repaired a lot of large and small electrical equipment, his hands are particularly dexterous, and he is also the director of the amateur radio amateur association in the city, and the whole broken semiconductor radio is not a problem.

Liu Jun used scissors to disassemble the radio shell three times and five by two, and his movements were extremely skillful, which was the means of accumulating old hands. A simple check, as there is no multimeter to determine if the component is damaged. Just straightened out the line, connected the two broken ends, and then debugged, hehe, it turned out to be a fluke. Fortunately, the gentleman didn't know anything about radio, so he didn't just mess around with this poor antique radio. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fix.

When the husband and his wife saw him, they had set up the radio in a few minutes, and they were all staring at him in great amazement, and even forgot their sorrow for a while. Although Liu Jin is the technician of the power management station, Xiaojun can be regarded as a family scholar, but this repairman is too young. Other seven-year-olds are afraid that they can only herd cows, mow grass and knead mud eggs, and have never even seen a radio.

Seeing Mr.'s surprised expression, Liu Jun smiled slightly in his heart. I didn't want to make a move, but I was afraid that my wife would cry so carelessly, in case it would be heard by others, but it would be very inconvenient. After all, the Revolution is not over yet, and it is said that "darkness before dawn", and it is not worth it to cause some more trouble at this time.

Fixing a broken radio is surprising, but it's not so much that people think about it. This trick of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" has been very effective, and the wife no longer cries, and leans over to listen to the news broadcast on the radio with her husband.

Seeing that Liu Jun had been standing beside him in an orderly manner, the gentleman waved his hand: "Xiaojun, you go back first." Uncle can't teach you today. ”

"Oh. Uncle and Mrs. take care. I'll go back first. ”

Although the gentleman was sad, he still nodded at Liu Jun, showing a hint of relief. He is not like Liu Jun, who clearly knows the trend of current affairs in the future, and now that the great leader has died suddenly, he only feels that the future is bleak. It is also a comfort to have such a considerate and sensible student.

Liu Jun thought about it, picked up Ouyang Xiu's "History of the Five Dynasties", and left.

……

The death of the chairman has had a tremendous and far-reaching impact on the whole country. But for remote villages like the Liujiashan Brigade, people mourn the great leader with more simple feelings, and of course, there are many elements of hesitation and uneasiness.

Liu Jincai rushed back home the next day.

Schools were closed for three days as a sign of mourning. Liu Jun rarely has a little free time to take a good look at "History of the Five Dynasties". My grandmother was illiterate and didn't know what books he was reading. But I was very happy to see my grandson study hard.

As soon as Liu Jincai entered the door, Liu Jun put away "History of the Five Dynasties". Liu Jin is a person who knows the goods, Liu Jun doesn't want to spend more words explaining why he watched "History of the Five Dynasties" after learning a few words.

In the past, as long as Liu Jincai went home, the family would be full of laughter. Liu Jun's sisters and brothers surrounded him to ask questions, that is, his grandparents and grandmothers, and occasionally asked a few questions. Today the situation is different, grandparents just nodded and said "back". Willow leaves and willow Yan are even more decent. However, it turned out that the brigade headquarters had a notice that for seven days, no singing or laughing was allowed. This can be regarded as the deepest condolences expressed by the simple peasant brothers to the leader.

Liu Jun doesn't care about these many, he cares about the heavens and the earth, and he doesn't care about people eating and?

"Dad, what about my mom, didn't come back with you?"

It's been a few days since I was reborn, and I haven't seen my mother and eldest sister yet. Bizarre.

Liu Jincai smiled and said, "Mom is in the unit and didn't come back." ”

"Oh......"

"Dad, Mom, I'll go and see Mr. Zhou."

Liu Jincai said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Hey, why did my dad go to see Mr. Zhou as soon as he came back? A few days ago, the two of them chatted on the right path and became friends?

"Dad, I'll go with you."

"Okay."

……

Unexpectedly, the Liu family was not the first group of guests of the husband's family, and before that, there was already one guest present.

This is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing a clean Zhongshan suit, with a Chinese face, revealing a bit of majesty in elegance, and it can be seen that he is a person of considerable status. However, in front of Mr. Zhou, he sat upright, and it was obvious that he had more respect for Mr. Zhou.

Seeing Liu Jincai, Mr. Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Jincai, come on, come on, introduce to you...... This is Director Yan of our Hongqi Commune...... Director Yan, this is Liu Jincai, who works at the county film projection management station......"

"Hello, I'm Yan Yucheng......"

Yan Yucheng immediately got up and shook hands with his father.

In the 21 st century, a township party secretary can be regarded as a figure in the entire county. An ordinary employee of a public institution in the county, where can he stand up and greet him? However, at that time, there was a big difference between the county town and the countryside. The first and second leaders of the commune are not half as bad as the leaders of the county bureau and commission. Because of the inconvenient transportation and poor living conditions in the villages, many grassroots leading cadres have tried in every possible way to transfer them back to the cities. Even if you have an idle job in the county unit, you will not hesitate to do so.

Liu Jincai hurriedly held Yan Yucheng's hand and greeted him.

Yan Yucheng......

The name seems familiar.

Yoo Jun hurriedly searched nervously in the memories of his previous life.

"Xiaojun, come ......"

Mr. Zhou beckoned to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun hurriedly walked over and bowed: "Hello, uncle." ”

"This kid is really sensible...... Yucheng, this is Jincai's son, what about the students I accepted......"

Liu Jun hurriedly bowed to Yan Yucheng again: "Hello Uncle Yan, my name is Liu Jun." ”

"Hehe, Uncle doesn't dare to be. I'm also a student of Mr. Zhou. ”

Yan Yucheng said with a smile.

Teacher Zhou's students? Yes...... It's really him, the secretary of the county party committee of Xiangyang County a few years later! Later, he became the commissioner of the Baozhou District Administration and retired to the deputy director of the N Provincial People's Congress. It's also a cow in Xiangyang County. I really didn't expect to see him here.

"Xiaojun, you can read the book by yourself, let's talk."

"Oh. Good. ”

Liu Jun sat aside in a proper manner and opened the "History of the Five Dynasties". Fortunately, several adults didn't pay attention to what book he was reading.

"Alas...... Now that the chairman is gone, I wonder what will happen to the policies of the central government? ”

Talking about this topic, the faces of the three people became heavy. In the words, from time to time, he revealed confusion about the future political situation, worried that the successor would not be able to carry such a heavy burden.

Mr. Zhou was wearing a big hat on his head, and he was even more worried, sighing a few times from time to time, and his wife wiped away her tears. is like a child who suddenly lost his father, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Uncle, how do you pronounce this word?"

Ryu Jun suddenly got up and asked, pointing to a word in the book.

“xu。 Li Cunmiao is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty five generations later, Zhuangzong Li Cunmiao ......"

Li Cunqiao's "勖" word, but Liu Jun recognizes it. Before the crossing, it happened that the novel about the five generations was very popular. Yoo Joon has also seen some. This Emperor Li is a remarkable figure in the history of the Five Dynasties.

"Hey, Xiaojun, why are you watching "History of the Five Dynasties"?"

Mr. Zhou is very strange.

"It's fun to watch." Liu Jun grinned and hurriedly said, "Uncle, can you tell Xiaojun the story of this Zhuangzong Li Cunmiao?" ”

"Xiaojun, don't make trouble, the adults are talking."

Liu Jincai scolded. However, even if it is a reprimand, there is no hiding love in his tone.

Yan Yucheng's face moved, and he said, "Teacher, you seem to have told us the story of Li Cunqiao before. It's interesting. ”

Mr. Zhou nodded: "In the entire five generations of the Tang Dynasty, there are many heroes, and it can be called an extremely chaotic world. Li Keyong, the king of Jin who occupied Hedong, died of illness, and his only biological son Li Cunmiao succeeded to the throne of Jin. Who knows that Li Cunmiao is proficient in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, has defeated the Later Liang army and the Khitan army, more than ten years later, broke through Kaifeng, destroyed the Later Liang, and established the Later Tang Dynasty. ”

Now is not the time to tell a story, so Mr. Zhou said a few simple words, as if to introduce Li Cunmiao's advanced deeds.

Liu Jincai thought thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, this Li Cunqiao is a good man?" ”

Speaking of historical allusions, Mr. Zhou immediately perked up: "Yes, no one expected Li Cunqiao to be so powerful at that time, and even Zhu Wen, the Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty, praised it, saying that giving birth to a son should be like Li Yazi, and Li Keyong will not die." ”

When the goal was achieved, Liu Jun said with a smile: "The story told by Uncle is really good. Then he sat back on his little bench and concentrated on his book. Save them from surrounding themselves and asking endless questions.

Liu Jincai said: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. Mr. Zhou, don't worry, your problem will be solved sooner or later. ”

Mr. Zhou was stunned, then came to his senses and nodded again and again.

Yan Yucheng was very appreciative when he saw that Liu Jin was only able to speak, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, it's really a tiger father without a dog, you cubs are very powerful." ”

"Where, where, Director Yan is polite."

"Since you are a friend of Teacher Zhou, that is, a friend of my Yan Yucheng, you will go to the commune and sit with me when you have time in the future."

"Definitely, definitely."

It can be seen that Liu Jincai also has a good impression of Yan Yucheng, not like a casual perfunctory. At that time, the commune cadres were not popular. There are districts above the commune, and counties are above the districts. The directors of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune were generally the deputy sections, and a very small number of old ones were the main sections. Although Liu Jincai is a technical technician, he has participated in the working hours for a long time, and the administrative level is also at the unit level. Having a relationship with Yan Yucheng, there is no suspicion of Gao Pan.;
