At noon, the slow train crossed the Songhua River Bridge and finally arrived in Harbin City.

Since it is a terminal station, there are many passengers leaving the platform, and the platform is very noisy.

Someone hung a small blue box around his neck with the word "popsicle" written on it, and shouted "popsicles, popsicles!" ”

Someone squatted on a pillar or by a street lamp selling tea eggs.

Qi Huici was not in a hurry to get off the car, sat on the bunk and did not move, after a while, people came into the carriage to greet him, called "Director Qi", and began to carry his luggage, and a few people got out of the carriage, got into the jeep, and went in the opposite direction to the crowd.

Shen Mengxi sat on Qi Baoping's lap, leaning against the car window, looking at the familiar scenery all the way, his eyes full of nostalgia.

He Jingyu looked at Shen Mengxi and looked around, thinking that this was what a child should look like, and smiled and touched her pigtails.

The car drove to Ashhe Street in Nangang District, and when it arrived at the compound of the family members of the provincial party committee, the soldiers standing guard saluted the jeep and let it go sideways.

He Jingyu saw Qi Baoping and Qi Weiqing looking back at the soldier in surprise, his face was incredulous, and he looked at the building curiously, and then glanced at his cousin, and found that she seemed to be commonplace as if nothing happened.

After passing through two beautiful Russian-style buildings, I stopped in front of Building 11, and two people ran out of it, one of them was Qi Baokang, who was full of smiles, opened the car door for Qi Huici, and shouted, "Third aunt, you are back!" ”

greeted He Jingyu affectionately again, and finally smiled at Qi Baoping and Shen Mengxi, "You two are here too!" Come inside! ”

Turning his head, he responded to Qi Weiqing's shout, "Uncle Baokang", and entered the small building with his luggage in both hands.

This small building is two-storey, the visual up and down is only about 120 square meters, although it is not big, the building is also a little old, fortunately, the facilities are complete, or a single courtyard.

Qi Huici brought back a lot of Jiayang's specialties, fungus, mushrooms, monkey heads, etc., even the tomato thief didn't steal a box, as well as the wide and wide meat of the oil beans, green and tender spinach and cucumbers that she loved to eat, these Harbin City is not nothing, but they are all planted by the old man Qi himself, and they taste unique.

After several people took turns to wash up and eat lunch, Qi Baoping was surprised that someone in his aunt's house actually cooked for her family, isn't this exploitation?

In the evening, He Jingyu's wife Zheng Yuan came back from work, she worked in the provincial newspaper, she was eight years younger than He Jingyu, a native of Harbin City, tall and tall, wearing a coffee-colored tight skirt, and a perm on an explosive head, Shen Mengxi was startled at first sight, and looked at her facial features, she was a very beautiful woman.

As soon as Zheng Yuan entered the door, she first greeted Qi Huici with a cold and warm greeting, and then asked about the old man Qi's physical condition, the people in his hometown and the wedding, and turned around to greet Qi Baoping and the others, and specially praised Shen Mengxi for being smart and beautiful, in short, thoughtful and enthusiastic. Finally, he walked up to He Jingyu, looked at the collar of his shirt, and wrinkled his nose in disgust, "Wei'er is dead!" ”

He Jingyu didn't care, "Just go home and wash it." ”

The door opened, and a little boy of four or five years old ran in, with his little hands open, and shouted in a milky voice, "Grandma!" Grandmother! ”

Qi Huici stood up from the sofa in response and grabbed the child: "Ah, grandma wants to kill my eldest grandson!" Does the eldest grandson miss grandma? ”

"Thought!"

"What's wrong? Tell grandma where you think? ”

"Here!" The little boy patted his chest.

"Yo, I thought about it!" Qi Huici kissed his grandson a few times before letting him go, "Come, let's see who is coming to our house!" This is your Uncle Baoping, this is your Aunt Baozhu, and this is Brother Wei Qing. ”

The child called Uncle Baoping with his grandmother's introduction, and when he arrived at Shen Mengxi, he was suddenly stunned, blinked, looked up at his grandmother, looked at his mother, and then looked at Shen Mengxi, and corrected him seriously: "This should be my sister!" ”

Qi Huici smiled, "It's my aunt, she is the youngest daughter of your little uncle's family, do you have to call her aunt?" ”

The boy wrenched his fingers, "Grandpa's children are called uncle and aunt, yes." Aunt! I'm He Yuhang! He Yuhang from the second class of kindergarten of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region! I'm almost four and a half years old! ”

Shen Mengxi fell in love with this child all of a sudden, stretched out his arms to hug him, and kissed him on the cheek.

He Yuhang was startled and wiped his face, "What are you doing!" ”

"I like you!" Shen Mengxi took out two oval red agate stones and gave them to him, "This is the stone I picked up by the Heilongjiang River, it is very beautiful, and I gave it to you." ”

He Yuhang sighed, "Every day, there are too many people who like me!" He reached out and took the stone, and played with it.

Shen Mengxi couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed.

Qi Huici asked him to call Brother Wei Qing, and then introduced Zheng Yuan to them, and called his sister-in-law and aunt respectively, so that the recognition was over.

Stuck in the meal, Qi Youheng came, he came on leave, and he had to return to the team before eight o'clock in the evening.

When I entered the door, I saw that half of the room was full of my own children, and I was a little surprised, "Third sister, why are these all my cubs!" ”

"No, it's all your cubs! Who makes me rare! ”

Qi Youheng is ten years younger than his sister, and his sister basically brought him up when he was a child, and he almost grew on his sister's back before he was two years old. He was older, and his sister was called by the propaganda team to go out to join the revolution, and he stood at the entrance of the village and cried for a long time. Later, the third sister got married, and was forced to break off the relationship with the family, until the end of the seventies, only to contact again, although there was an interval of more than ten years, but the family affection is like this, when they met again, and then knelt side by side in front of their mother's grave, the chord was magically connected, more and more solid.

"I don't care, I'm going to eat quickly, and I have to take a roll call in the evening!" Qi Youheng is much more comfortable in front of Qi Huici than in front of this old man Qi. Shen Mengxi felt that he hadn't seen each other for a month, and Qi Youheng was much younger.

"Look at you, this is a schoolboy again!" Qi Huici patted the back of her brother's head lovingly, and asked the orderly to hurry up and start the meal.

"You two come to Gaha?" Qi Youheng sat on the sofa and questioned Qi Baoping, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"I let it go!" Qi Huici interrupted him, "Baoping and Wei Qing graduated from high school, take them out to see the world, it is best to continue to go to school in the future, if you join the work, it will not be easy to come out again." ”

"Hey, I think the bank is very good, and I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet." Qi Youheng ate a thief who didn't steal persimmons, "This is what our father planted." ”

Qi Huici slapped him, "You go back and eat again, you can't eat anything, what should I eat?" ”

Qi Youheng finished eating the persimmon in two bites, "Alas, this persimmon was specially planted for you by my father, just because you said you liked to eat it four years ago, he planted it every year." If you don't go back, I'll leave it to Baoman to eat, and if I want to eat, it's like a tiger's mouth snatching food. ”

Qi Huici smiled on her face, and there was a faint flash of water in her eyes.

"I'll go back every year after that."

"That's exactly how it should be."

At the dinner table, the topic talked about Qi Baohua's wedding, and it was Qu Mingyuan and Ma Jian.

He Jingyu said: "The third uncle said that Qu Mingyuan was the leading talented and beautiful man in Qingfeng Forest Farm back then, and later he was implicated and injured in the head, so he fell ill. ”

Qi Huici slapped her thigh suddenly, "My God! How did I forget! After that, he walked over to the coffee table and made a phone call.

"My mother said that she would help Qu Mingyuan ask for the address of an old Chinese medicine doctor, but she probably forgot." He Jingyu explained to Qi Youheng.

Five minutes later, Qi Huici took a piece of paper and came down from the upstairs study, "Jing Yu, send a telegram to your third uncle early tomorrow morning." ”

He Jingyu nodded solemnly and put away the note.

"Uncle, why was that Qu Mingyuan implicated?" Zheng Yuan was very curious.

"That's a long story." Qi Youheng put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine, "This Qu Mingyuan, is a young man from Qi City to Jiayang, assigned to the Qingfeng production team, his family's composition is not good, his father used to be the deputy stationmaster of Qi City Railway Station, the railway station on the date of the Anti-Japanese War, including Harbin City Railway Station, the stationmaster is Japanese, the deputy stationmaster and below are all us Chinese, his father is the deputy stationmaster, in charge of all the affairs of the entire railway station."

In six or seven years, his father was beaten so hard that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. He has four brothers, he and his younger brother have gone to the countryside, but the place is not good, he was assigned to the production team, and his younger brother was assigned to the Huma side of Daxinganling, which is colder than our Jiayang.

Qu Mingyuan looks very energetic, similar to Tang Guoqiang, the article is well written, and he can play the harmonica, the girl of the production captain Li Hezi fell in love with him, Li Hezi looked like Hemp, but his girl is really beautiful, and several educated youths in the forest farm also went to the production team to go around, in order to see Li Xiuying. ”
