Shandong Mongols
You Fuliang's hometown is from Youji, Dingtao County, Shandong Province, I took the train back to my hometown, and he and his wife also returned to their hometown. I saw at a glance that he had a story, and I pulled out the story.
His father's name is You Dengchen, and his hometown is not having a good time, he has been outside the customs with the people in Tunzi in his teens, Daqing and Yichun, and he is not easy to mix anywhere.
Daqing barren grass is waist-deep, there is not even a house, more than a dozen families dig the ground to live, open up the wasteland and farm, it is a new village.
In the autumn of that year, the little daughter of the old Zhang family sat at the door and played, and her mother was cooking in the kiln. A wolf picked up the child's leg and ran, but thanks to the father who saw it, he rode on the horse with a fork for a long time, and the wolf put the child down. Since then, the two families have gotten closer and closer.
A few years later, my father returned to his hometown to marry his mother, whose name was Zhang Huazhen. My mother didn't have a father when she was eleven years old, and in order to treat her grandfather, everything that could be sold at home was sold, and there was nothing left. Grandma's little feet, there are two aunts under her mother. My mother has to go out every day to ask for food, one person wants food for four people, and one foot of intestines is eight inches hungry. After getting married, my father and mother went back to Daqing and brought my grandmother, two aunts, and uncle and grandfather out.
I heard that Inner Mongolia was so mixed up, and my father was going to Inner Mongolia, but my grandmother and aunt didn't follow. The grandmother found a wife, and the person worked at the school, and they all stayed in Daqing. Uncle and grandfather followed his father and mother to Inner Mongolia and settled in the ** forest farm, eleven families in the forest farm are all Mongolian, and his family is Han.
Born in 1963, Fuliang's whole family spoke Mongolian, and sometimes his uncle spoke to his father and mother, and they spoke Shandong.
It was time to go to school, Fuliang went to the village closest to the forest farm to go to elementary school, five or six miles away, and the four boys were in the first grade, going to school together and going home together. At that time, the snow was heavy in winter, and the snow next to the house was also high, so the children often picked the snow and played in the cave.
The forest farm was afraid of accidents, so they sent horse-drawn carriages to pick them up every day, and they all wore sheepskin pants and felt shoes. One day, it was windy and snowing, and the coachman was a little late, and the four children went home on their own and got lost.
The people of the forest farm were frightened, and the field department sent two carriages, a few horses, and twenty or thirty people out to look for them, and these people shouted at the same time and beat gongs and drums.
It was almost dark before the four children were found.
Since then, the boss has never delayed the pick-up.
**The forest farm is 120 kilometers away from Manchuria and more than 40 miles away from the New Balhu Right Banner. Every winter, the camel convoy went to Manchuria to pull grain, and the camels pulled the wooden wheels, and one person watched five or six carts. Before the New Year, the field department specially sent a carriage to pull people to the flag to buy things.
In 1971, Fuliang saw a car for the first time, and the state allocated one to the forest farm.
In 1972, the family moved to Xinbarhu Right Banner, which the locals called Xiqi, and the West Banner was in the town of Alatan Emol. Alatan Emoller, which means "golden saddle" in Chinese.
After arriving in Xiqi, Fuliang began to learn Chinese, and his primary and middle school teachers thought he was a Mongolian and filled in the form with Mongolian nationality.
After going to work, he spoke Mongolian for eight hours a day, and the unit still filled him with Mongolian. There was an eldest sister in the office, who knew that he was of Han nationality, and told the secretary, but the secretary still didn't believe it, so he changed it after asking once. From there, the people in the unit called him "Shandong Mongol". To tell the truth, Fuliang looks quite like a Mongolian, five big and three thick, like an iron tower.
In 1980, Fuliang was admitted to high school, but he didn't go to school, but went to work in the well team, with a salary of more than 20 yuan a month. Uncle and grandfather didn't let him find a Mongolian daughter-in-law, and asked him to find a Shandong daughter-in-law. Lao Zhang's family is also in Xiqi, and they have many daughters, because they are looking forward to their son, they name their daughters Pan, stop, and change, and they don't look forward to coming, they don't stop them, and they don't change them. The fifth girl is called Yun, God really gave Yun one, and the sixth is a son. The three daughters of their family are called Zhang Dongchang, who is the same age as Fuliang, and the two old people love to be relatives (note: to be a family of children), and the family affairs are set.
In 1985, my father died, my mother was 42 years old, there were seven children in the family, my sister and four brothers were not married, the boy Li Fuliang was the eldest, and the youngest brother was only eight years old.
The neighbors in front of him said: "Fuliang's family affair is over, who is willing to send his daughter to the fire pit?" ”
Dong Chang's father said to his daughter: "You are engaged, you are from the old You family, we can't let outsiders see jokes." He sent Dong Chang to You's family, wearing linen and filial piety.
Back then, the marriage was done.
In the autumn of 2006, Fuliang went to the countryside, and there was no signal on the grassland.
didn't wait to get home, and received a call from the second aunt, saying that my grandmother didn't get a drop of water for a few days, and she just didn't close her eyes.
My grandmother is over 90 years old, and Fuliang is her eldest grandson, and she said to her grandson: "I'm afraid of the refining furnace, so I don't want to be cremated." ”
Fuliang and his younger brother drove 400 kilometers to the second aunt's house in Dayan Coal Mine.
Grandma can't speak, and she still recognizes people.
Fuliang said: "Grandma, my brothers and I are driving here to pick you up." ”
Grandma nodded.
The brothers carried their grandmother into the car and drove carefully all the way back to Xiqi.
As soon as I got home, my grandmother closed her eyes.
Ethnic minority areas are all buried, and my grandmother is relieved this time.
After the opening up of Manchuria, Fuliang engaged in border trade in Manchuria. He speaks Mongolian, drives a car, and often works as a translator. Later, he was transferred to the Xiqi Forestry and Water Conservancy Bureau.
Mother planted a piece of land, all carried her own water, seventy-six-year-old people, carrying a bucket of water and walking leisurely.
He told me that he would go back to his hometown and take a look, but he couldn't stay. They are the same as the Mongolian people's living habits, they can't do without beef and mutton, and they can't do without fresh milk, which is called green life. The family of three can buy four sheep and half a cow to eat until the beginning of spring, and in November every year, he prepares the meat.
