Chapter 111: Beiping 1956



In the fifties, people paid attention to the life of their parents and the words of matchmakers.

Many people don't know what the people who live with them in the future look like before they get married, although the old feudal customs are harmful, but the matchmaker also pays attention to the right person when talking about matchmaking, and can match a pair of young men and women together, at least the appearance and composition will not be too different.

At that time, free love had only been proposed for a few years, and it was generally students who fell in love freely, or brave gangsters who fell in love with a beautiful girl and tried every possible way to get it.

The marriage ceremony should be a big operation, and the most solemn thing is to marry in a sedan chair.

At that time, there were eight sedan chairs, and even after 60 years, few people could afford it.

But most people need very simple things to get married, a bed of embroidered quilts, or a decent basin.

A better dowry is a cow that can plough the land, saving the two from working without cattle after getting married, and the body is tired.

At that time, it was easy to get married and difficult to divorce, on the one hand, the woman's social status was not high, and she must be gossiped about when she got divorced.

The second is that if there is a conflict at that time, it is to quarrel and go back to his parents' house, or it is a neighborhood adjustment, and the people have not heard of any civil affairs bureaus, and they don't know that divorce requires a certificate.

As the old saying goes, a husband and wife are one hundred nights, sleeping together on the same kang and the same bed, this is the fate destined by God, and they can't be separated.

If it is divided, it is iniquity.

That night, it was the first time Zhao Dahai saw Xiao Wu crying so sadly.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Wu has always been the little overlord of Sanlitun, even if he went to school in Qiantang Town, no one dared to provoke him, he had seen Xiao Wu cry, either he was bullied by Jiang Rong and cried, or he was beaten and cried by Niu Aihua.

Zhao Dahai clearly remembered that after Niu Aihua and Ma Aiguo died, Xiao Wu's heartbroken expression, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

But compared to now, when he grows up, Xiao Wu carries everything by himself, and his strength is more or less what every man in that era will have, crying can't solve the problem, he can only express his inner pain and powerlessness.

He saw Xiao Wu's tears dripping down his eyes, he had never seen a man who had grown up crying so thoroughly, he shouted the name of Niu Aihua, like a little boy who needed his mother's protection.

Later, they sat on the grass for a long time, until Xiao Wu left without saying a word.

After dawn, Xiao Wu changed into clean clothes and went to Qionghua Temple near Xiangshan in Beiping to ask to see Master Hai Deng.

At that time, the master of the sea lantern was in his fifties, commonly known as Fan Wuxi, and he was also a man of the hour in the early years of the war, he studied under the Bashu Zhenren, and served the first person in modern Buddhism, the old monk Xuyun, with a high level of kung fu, and the kung fu of two-finger Zen is unique in the world.

The little monk and nun led Xiao Wu into the meditation room of the sea lantern, Xiao Wu could not have imagined that at that time, in the ten-person ring, he could withstand the attacks of nine people in turn, but he could not stop the palm of this thin monk.

Xiao Wu knelt in front of the sea lantern with a pious heart, and said, "Disciple Xiao Wu, please see the master and thank the master for saving his life." ”

Hai Deng said: "Get up, Xiao Wu, there is nothing wrong with young people being high-spirited, but people with great skills are easy to provoke big rights and wrongs, seeing that your face is calm now, and there is no evil spirit on your body." ”

"The disciple doesn't know why the master participated in that ring match and came to the rescue." Xiao Wu asked.

Hai Deng said: "That day, Qin Changqing's subordinates found me and asked me to fight, or ten people against one person, I was curious, but I also had a hint of aggressiveness, but after all, I was old, so I planned to let my first apprentice fight on my behalf, but who knew that I heard that you are Wu Qingyun's disciple, Qin Changqing can think of looking for me, it must be to defeat you, I only knew after I went that he wanted to kill you, I had to see Wu Qingyun's senior disciple." ”

"The master and my master are old?" Xiao Wu asked.

Hai Deng said: "Even in the old days, it is also a benefactor, in terms of seniority, Wu Qingyun and his family teacher are people of the same generation, back then he was known as an iron mouth, a thousand gold, even if it was an old immortal who Yuan Shikai couldn't move, I can't see his apprentice being murdered, and it is a matter of effort to save him, Qin Changqing can't help me." ”

After that, Xiao Wu and Hai Deng chatted, Xiao Wu is twenty years old after all, some roads have not been walked, some things have not been passed, and some truths are not understood, and he has also realized a lot during the conversation with Master Hai Deng.

Before leaving, Xiao Wu said, "The disciple still has a reluctant request. ”

Hai Deng said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xiao Wu said: "I heard that our country passed the IOC vote the year before last, and I want to participate in the Olympic Games, but I don't know how to participate. ”

At that time, everything had to have a beginner master, Xiao Wu was unknown, and no one guaranteed it, so he could not participate in the Olympics and enter the Chinese Sports Bureau.

With the identity of Hai Deng, borrowing the name of his disciple is naturally possible to advance the selection of the Sports Bureau.

At that time, information and communication were not developed, and Hai Deng rarely heard the words Olympics, so he promised Xiao Wu to help him ask.

Two days after Xiao Wu returned home, Master Hai Deng sent the little monks and nuns of Qionghua Temple to inform Xiao Wu that the China Sports Bureau could let him in and try it, but now most of them cannot participate in the Olympic Games.

In 1954, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized China's qualifications to participate in the Olympic Games, but for some reason there was no Chinese delegation to participate in the Olympic Games for two years.

However, Hai Deng still wrote a letter of recommendation to Xiao Wu and asked Xiao Wu to hand it over to the person in charge of the Sports Bureau, which was a stepping stone.

When Xiao Wu went to the Sports Bureau in Beiping to register, the person in charge was also shocked when he saw that the signature was Hai Deng, so he arranged for Xiao Wu to go for a physical examination, so he found that Xiao Wu's body structure was different from that of a normal person, he had four kidneys, according to the regulations, internal organs and abnormalities could not enter the Sports Bureau, the person in charge did not know Xiao Wu, and did not agree to Xiao Wu to enter the Sports Bureau.

Later, a few days later, the people of the Sports Bureau sent people to Sanlitun to find Xiao Wu, and among their upper leaders, they had heard that a young man with good kung fu suddenly appeared in Beiping City, and after investigation, he learned that the young man was the person who came to the Sports Bureau to sign up a few days ago, and said that he agreed to let Xiao Wu enter the Sports Bureau for training, after all, there are other events that can be participated in in addition to the Olympic Games.

Xiao Wu lost interest and politely declined the invitation of the Sports Bureau.

Later, Xiao Wu didn't think about fame anymore and began to work from 5 to 9 on the docks, and he needed to work non-stop to forget some indelible things.

He really wanted to ask Jiang Rong if she was doing well in Shanghai, she was alone and pregnant with a child, what her plans were.

If Jiang Rong gave birth to the child, Zhang Xiumei would never let Jiang Rong enter this family.

Zhang Xiumei was also swept away by her family when she was pregnant, but now the nature is different, because Zhang Xiumei hates the little devil, and it was the little devil who indirectly killed Jiang Zhengyang, and Zhang Xiumei will never allow her woman to marry a devil.

In this way, Xiao Wu went out early and returned late, which lasted for more than half a year, and seeing that it was already late autumn, Beiping City became richer and richer with the completion of the three major transformations, and it also became more depressed.

Jiang Rong came back during the summer vacation this year, no one knew that it was two months later when Xiao Wu knew.

Listening to Zhao Dahai, when Jiang Rong returned to Sanlitun, Xiao Wu was still at work, and Jiang Rong didn't see anyone else except for sending money to Zhang Xiumei, and Zhao Dahai didn't see it either, it was Shen A-Niang who told him.

So Jiang Rong hurried back from Shanghai, disappeared without living for a day, Jiang Rong wore clothes at a glance and the villagers in Sanlitun wore clothes are very different, the villagers said that they could not recognize Jiang Rong, said that Jiang Rong is simply a fairy in the sky, is the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan.

Zhao Dahai went to Qin Sanye's hall again, and inquired with familiar people, only to know that Jiang Rong lived in Qin Sanye's hall for three days after returning to Beiping, and three days later got on the train to Shanghai, which was personally sent away by Qin Sanye.

Many people know that Qin Sanye almost killed Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu and Jiang Rong live under the same roof, and the two families should not be in contact with each other, but Jiang Rong secretly meets Qin Sanye.

In this way, Xiao Wu and Jiang Rong are not people of the same world.

Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiao Wu, Jiang Rong has treated you like this, what are you still raising her mother for, isn't that Nizi very good to you, there is still a courtyard at home, it is better for you to move away, and also teach Jiang Rong a lesson." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, my mother has raised me for so long, what Jiang Rong did is hers, and it is not Jiang Rong who raised me, Shen A-Niang is not my own mother, can you say that you will give up?" Xiao Wu blamed Zhao Dahai with some annoyance.

"Okay, okay, when I didn't say it, I talked a lot." Zhao Dahai was scolded by Xiao Wu.
