Chapter 19 Brother Policeman: Guo Devil (1) Young and old
Guo Kaishan's eldest brother Guo Kaiwei, nicknamed "Guo Devil". This nickname can't be called blindly in City A, only eccentric people are worthy of this name. During the Republic of China, there was a famous general in City A called Guo Songling, whose nickname was "Guo Guizi". Everyone can see from his history that although he is a ghost, he did not end very well and ended up badly.
Guo Kaiwei's nickname has been known since he was in middle school, because his academic performance in school was average, but he was ranked in the top few in every exam. Several times the invigilator sat at his desk, just to see how this "master of the examination room" "made a thousand".
But by the time Guo Kaiwei handed in the papers, he still found nothing. Guo Kaiwei's top performance on the list is still "among the best". The principal of the school and Guo's father are good friends, holding Guo Kaiwei's transcript and nodding constantly, "It seems that this guy is not a bad learner, he deliberately behaves to others, he usually learns very ordinarily, but when he is really outstanding, this is called a really good student, he is really Guo Devil." ”
Indeed, Guo Kaiwei has been very different since he was a child, he always looks worried, and his brothers and sisters, including his parents, have never seen Guo Kaiwei laugh once. His youthful maturity could be seen from his banal expression, and no one could guess what he was thinking from the strange look in his eyes.
Guo Kaiwei's second brother Guo Kaiming has been a "three-good student" since he was a child, and he has always been excellent in his studies, that is, since then, Guo Kaiwei has lost the attention of his parents at home. Guo's father often praises Guo Kaiming in front of his friends, "My little two's brain is very bright, after basically reading a book, he can write it silently, other babies are far worse than him, and he must be the one who will honor his ancestors in the future." ”
After Guo Kaiwei heard this, he became a low-key child. In class, even if he can ask a question from the teacher, he will not raise his hand easily. The perception is that he is not a particularly smart child.
Guo's father's sister's family also lives in City A, her sister is a cadre of the Women's Federation, and her brother-in-law is the editor of the provincial newspaper. Compared with the Guo family, their family has a large population, and the corresponding living conditions are much better. Helplessly, my brother-in-law couldn't have children, so he didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter, every time I saw Guo's father take the children to his house, the old man who was an uncle was very happy, and always said, "It would be nice if only one of the children was mine." ”
That being said. Guo's father is a person with a heart, he went back to tell Guo's mother whether to pass on a son in the family to his sister and brother-in-law, so that he could also reduce the burden on the family, and his sister and brother-in-law would be very happy.
When Guo's mother heard this, she naturally objected, the children under her knees were all conceived and born in October, how could she let go of a son to others.
But the words of the parents. Let Guo Kaiwei accidentally hear it, he thought to himself, the conditions of his family are cramped, and his brother-in-law's family lives in a building. Cruelly lenient. Looking at people's food, they are all big fish and meat, which is really greedy. Look at my own family again, there are many younger brothers. Every time I eat something good, I have to be small, and I am a big brother. It's not good to have a seizure on eating, but it's better to go to my brother-in-law's house to be an adopted son, so that when I graduate from middle school, I can get a good job with my brother-in-law's connections. Although Guo Kaiwei is young, he thinks a lot.
So Guo Kaiwei took the initiative to find his father and told him that he wanted to go to his aunt's house and be an adopted son for his brother-in-law.
Guo's father looked at Guo Kaiwei for a long time and didn't speak, he wanted to pass on his son to his sister, but Guo Kaiwei is the eldest son of his family, where to say it, there is no rule for passing the eldest son to someone else's family.
Seeing that his father was very hesitant, Guo Kaiwei started his father's work. "Dad, you see, there are so many children in our family, I am the oldest, and I usually eat the most, just like sleeping at night, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are not as big as the place I occupy, if I leave, the family can be lighter, the rations will be enough, and the vacated space can also allow a few younger brothers to study hard."
Seeing that his son was so sensible, Guo's father had nothing to say. I went to my sister's house and told my brother-in-law about my plans. The brother-in-law was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed, and said that his son couldn't ask for it in vain, fifty catties of millet, two hundred yuan, as a thank you.
Guo's father carried 50 catties of millet on a bicycle that night, took back 200 yuan in his pocket, and went home.
Looking at the food and the money taken out by Guo's father, Guo's mother cried for half a night. She knew that her son was going to become someone tomorrow, and although she was still a relative, she had to call others her mother, which made her very uncomfortable.
Guo Kaiwei saw that his mother was sad, and said jokingly, "Mom, don't be like this, when you miss me, ask my brother to bring me a message, and I will come back immediately, this is a good thing, my uncle is good, and he usually takes care of our family from time to time, and I don't suffer a loss when I treat him as a son." ”
After that, Guo Kaiwei divided his own things one by one with his younger brothers, and he was afraid that after he left, they would fight because of this impractical thing.
In this way, Guo Kaiwei didn't even take a change of clothes, got on the bus alone, came to his aunt's house, and became his uncle's adopted son.
Uncle is very reasonable, he thinks that Guo Kaiwei's teenage and half-grown son, if he changes his name, in the hearts of his classmates and himself, he will definitely make a shadow, he did not change the name of his adopted son, he is still called Guo Kaiwei. just transferred his household registration out of Guo's house and landed on his own family's household registration book. The Family Relations Department indicated that Guo Kaiwei was the adopted son of the head of the household, which was to go through this procedure.
Soon, the period of turmoil began, and Guo's father committed an accident due to the issue of "standing in line", and the whole family was decentralized.
After Guo Kaiwei learned the news, he was very glad that if he hadn't had foresight, he would have gone to the countryside to suffer like other younger brothers.
After the unrest began, all secondary schools, technical secondary schools, and universities were all affected, and my uncle called Guo Kaiwei and asked him what he thought, whether he wanted to continue his studies and high school, or whether he wanted to work in a factory and become an apprentice worker.
Guo Kaiwei thought very openly, he thought that going to the factory was the best choice, not only to get an apprenticeship salary of more than a dozen yuan, but also to learn skills, after all, the working class or the ruling class is not.
Guo Kaiwei's work unit is City A Stove Factory, which mainly produces stoves for gas and liquefied gas tanks. These things belonged to special products in the society at that time, because most of the citizens still lived in bungalows, and they were still burned "stoves", and these high-end things were all used by people living in buildings, and they rarely involved them.
Guo Kaiwei's work workshop is the most difficult work, this is the lathe workshop, what is done is to round the stove, and burr the upper stove bowl on the car flat.
Guo Kaiwei, who is less than 16 years old, although he eats well at his uncle's house, is still very thin. Every time the iron filings on the lathe hit his body, he would feel a tingling feeling in his heart, but he still endured it, he didn't want others to see that he couldn't do it, as long as it was something that others could do, he would definitely be able to do it.
Not only that, in order to learn more skills, he also took the initiative to bring the turning knives of his teachers and polished them by himself. Because he knows that as a qualified lathe, it is necessary to sharpen the turning tool, if he can't even sharpen the turning tool, once the two-year apprenticeship period is over, he wants to rate, and it is too difficult to evaluate the title.
Hard work pays off, after more than a year of hard work, Guo Kaiwei was rated as "outstanding young workers" by the factory, when they walked on the rostrum to receive the award, Guo Kaiwei found that among the people who received the award with him, he was the only one who was an "apprentice", and the rest of the people were all first-class workers. But Guo Kaiwei still maintains his original image with a straight face, and even when he takes pictures, his face is still expressionless, which makes others wonder if he can't smile.
The bonus for "outstanding young workers" is 50 yuan, which was not a small amount in the 60s of the last century. Guo Kaiwei gave 20 yuan to his aunt, and he took the rest of the money to the store to buy a lot of "villain books", but he didn't buy sugar and fruits. Guo Kaiwei believes that the fruits and sugar will be gone after eating, and in the rural decentralized home, everyone can watch the villain book together, and only these things can be kept for a long time, and the younger brother will think of him every time he picks up the book.
When Guo's mother saw her eldest son, she was almost unrecognizable. Guo Kaiwei's "Mom" made Guo's mother almost faint with excitement. Guo Kaiwei left the dozen yuan left over from the book to his mother, but he didn't stay for a while, and took the car back to City A. (To be continued......)
