Chapter Ninety-Three: Missing
From the end of '73 to the beginning of '74, the outside world was not calm, and a certain small country jumped up again to provoke, and was soon beaten down.
For the people of Wang's Cottage who are in the mainland, this kind of international event is what happened in another world, and it is no more important than a few bites of meat they ate today.
And the next few major events in China, such as the so-and-so incident, still only affect some people.
For most rural people in this era, it is very satisfying to be able to fill their stomachs every day at sunrise and sunset, and then they can fill their stomachs, as for the rest, oh, which big man in the county has fallen, they may be regarded as big gossip for a while, and the rest, as long as it is not involved in them, they will not care.
As for the school's change to spring enrollment, this means that people with school-age children at home will worry about it.
The Wang family is worried now.
Change to Spring Admissions!
This means that Wang Aiguo and Wang Li and their four sisters have paid for a semester in vain!
"I said a long time ago, what kind of school do girls go to, you see, pay for nothing! It's still this year, and I don't know how it will change in the future! If we change the fall enrollment again, we will have to pay half a year's money in vain! ”
Lin Guizhi stumbled and stumbled, complaining non-stop.
The four children have to go to school, and the money for half a year will be in vain! How much money should be saved!
"I don't care, you let the two little ones skip a grade! It's good to save half a year's money! ”
Wang Laozhuan said angrily: "You old woman, you are talking nonsense!" The two smaller ones just jumped a level. Now let them jump right away, is that possible? You are born as a Wenqu star! is still two in his life, that is, he gave birth to Wenqu Xing. That should also be patriotic! Really, isn't it half a year's tuition? I earned so much money last year, how can I not have enough tuition for my two children? Also, during the Chinese New Year, you took the things sent by your son-in-law to give gifts, and you saved a sum of money, why didn't the family have any money? ”
Lin Guizhi's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." I'm just talking, your crackling is a string, I'll just take the money! ”
While walking towards the back room. While muttering: "It's refreshing to say it now, and see what you say when you don't have money!" ”
Wang Li sat aside and was silent.
Nakako Jing came two letters after the New Year, the first of which criticized her and said that she should not have taken it upon herself to want to go to the capital. It was just robbing him of his life. Let her wait at home, and he will come to see her after fifteen. He also criticized her for not caring for her body, and making three pairs of shoes in such a short period of time took her eyes and energy, and he was very reluctant. Finally, it was repeated again, and after fifteen. When he was free, he came to see her.
But the second letter. Only a day later than the first letter, the letter said that he suddenly received a task, after fifteen years can not ask for leave, there is no way to come to see her, let her not be anxious, and don't think about anything to go to the capital alone, stay at home well, and wait for him to see her when he is free, in addition, he will send the newspaper on time, she still has to continue to read the newspaper to write her experience, but this experience is good for herself, no need to send it to him, he is busy, may not have time to correct her. Moreover, what kind of sports has the country been doing recently, so she should pay attention to what she usually talks about outside, and she must also collect her experience in writing, so that no one can see it.
If it was before, Wang Li would definitely believe what Zhong Zijing said in the letter, but the newspapers for several months were not read in vain, and the thick experience was not written in vain, she felt that Zhong Zijing was lying to her, and something should have happened to him.
He said that the monthly newspaper was still sent to her, but he could not send him any more approval, which meant that he felt that their future correspondence might be peeked at!
She took a breath and pressed her beating heart, she didn't know anything now, she couldn't panic, she had to hold it down.
He can write so clearly in this letter, which shows that there is no problem now, and if there is a problem, it will be in the future, as long as she doesn't say anything in the letter in the future that makes people grab the handle, isn't it?
She couldn't help him with anything, all she could do was try not to trouble him!
He had just trained her, and she shouldn't have made her own decisions.
thought so, but Wang Li was still very worried, and she also wanted to share his worries.
She thought hard and thought about it, but it was a pity that she had a messy life in her previous life, and this kind of major event that did not affect her life at that time did not leave a deep impression on her.
She could only follow Zhong Zijing's advice, try to be cautious and cautious on weekdays, and she didn't dare to write anything else except saying hello and talking about daily life on the letter, and the enthusiastic words she missed in the past were all gone.
The first reply letter of the new year was a few dry sentences, the school has opened, the new school year has implemented a new school system, the team is going to plant grain in the spring, everyone is actively farming, and strive for a bumper harvest of summer grain this year.
Zhong Zijing quickly replied to the letter, and it was the same simple few words, telling her to work hard, to be filial to her parents and love her younger siblings, and that he was fine now, and finally greeted her parents.
Wang Li then understood what to do.
Protecting himself and not causing trouble for him is the greatest help to him.
She was completely silent, going to and from work every day, and spending all her spare time studying, reading newspapers and writing about her experiences.
She hid all the experiences she wrote at the bottom of the cabinet, and then took the lock to lock the cabinet.
As for patriotism, she also warned that she should not talk about controversial topics at ordinary times, and she could often go to Uncle Li's house to run, Uncle Li is a cultured, persistent, far-sighted, and capable person, and learning a little more from Uncle Li will be of great benefit to him.
It's mid-April, and the weather is getting hotter.
There was no need to go to work that afternoon, so Wang Li stayed at home to read the information.
"Second sister! Second sister! ”
Wang Aiguo was sweating and ran in with a big bag on his back.
Wang Li stood up and said in surprise, "Why did you come back at this time?" Isn't it Sunday? ”
She stepped forward, took Wang Aiguo's bag, frowned and said, "Look at the sweat you are running on." What's wrong? ”
Wang Aiguo wiped his face with his sleeve casually, handed the bag to Wang Li, and said eagerly: "Something is wrong!" The eldest sister came to me yesterday and asked me for money. said that she owed money to her colleague, and now her colleague forced her to pay it back, so she had no choice but to go to me. I had to give her all the two dollars I had for food. ”
"She took the money and left, the more I thought about it later, the more wrong it became, and I went to the textile factory to look for her after class at noon today, and the result was, the people from their factory said. She took three days off from today, and when she didn't go to work, I went to her dormitory to look for her again. Still haven't found anyone! I asked people in the dormitory with her, and they all said that she had gone home last night. I was really in a hurry, so I hurried back! ”
When Wang Li heard this, her face turned white.
She said to Wang Aiguo: "You take a break first." Drink saliva. I'm going to find my father and mother, I don't know what's going on here, don't be too anxious, there's something going on with my parents. “
She hurriedly ran to call Wang Laozhuan and Lin Guizhi.
found these two people, she simply said what Wang Aiguo said, Wang Laozhuan's face darkened, and Lin Guizhi immediately cried, "My Ami! ”
Before she could shout a second time, Wang Li covered her mouth. An annoyed whisper whispered in her ear: "Do you want the whole room to know that Wang Mei has an accident?" ”
Wang Laozhuan also scolded in an annoyed low voice: "I want to howl and go home, howl outside." You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed! ”
Only then did Wang Li let go of the hand covering Lin Guizhi's mouth, and followed Wang Laozhuan to hurry home.
Lin Guizhi stayed for a long time, and he didn't dare to cry anymore, so he hurried home with his head down.
After entering the house, Wang Laozhuan anxiously asked: "Patriotism, what is going on?" Have you gone around looking for your eldest sister? Did your eldest sister say anything else? ”
Lin Guizhi squeezed forward, grabbed Wang Aiguo's shoulder, and cried loudly: "Patriotic, you have to help your eldest sister!" Where the hell did she go? ”
Wang Laozhuan scolded irritably: "You stand aside, don't howl here!" I'm afraid that others won't hear it, right, you should be louder! ”
Lin Guizhi sobbed and withdrew his hand, knowing that if it was so loud, the neighbor next door would hear it, so he closed his mouth and listened to Wang Laozhuan's questioning.
"You tell me what your eldest sister said when she came to you yesterday." Wang Laozhuan said anxiously.
Wang Aiguo also relieved his breath at this time, and his anxiety in the morning was relieved a lot when he saw his parents at this time.
He settled down and said, "Yesterday, the eldest sister came to see me at about half past seven, and at that time our class was studying in the classroom, so I took her to our dormitory. ”
"The eldest sister asked me at the beginning, if I have money on my body, I will lend it to her first, I said, now it has been half a month since I left the family to give money, and I have two yuan left, and there will be half a month for you to go to the city next time. The eldest sister said, two yuan is fine, give it to her first, and then pay me back. ”
"I didn't give it to her at first, I asked her what she wanted money for, and the family didn't ask her for her salary, and I didn't ask her to add anything to the family during the Chinese New Year, she shouldn't be short of money to spend."
When he said this, Wang Aiguo glanced at Lin Guizhi, saw that Lin Guizhi shrank uncomfortably, and continued: "Eldest sister, she was impatient when she heard what I said, but she just said that she recently spent a lot of money on books and studies, and borrowed money from a colleague last month, and now her colleague has urged her, and now she doesn't have enough money on her, and she is still a few yuan away, so she wants to ask me to borrow it first." ”
"When I heard this, I couldn't help it, I always had to pay back the money I borrowed, so I gave the money to my eldest sister. After the eldest sister took the money, she didn't say anything and left. ”
"When I got up this morning, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it was, yesterday the eldest sister's face was very bad, white, she was in a hurry to leave, I didn't have time to ask her, I was worried that she was uncomfortable, and worried that something would happen to her, so I went to the textile factory after class and dinner in the morning."
"I asked the people in their workshop, only to know that she asked for leave yesterday, for three days in a row, saying that she had something at home to go home, and then asked someone in the dormitory with her, which is also the same statement, I was worried, so I ran back."
After speaking, he picked up and poured the water that he had not had time to drink, and drank it in a big gulp. (To be continued......)
