After three years of separation, whether it is me or Ge Zhuang, the personality has changed a lot, but the friendship between revolution and life is higher than the mountain and like the depth of the sea, but this point will not change in any case, Ge Zhuang was very excited, took the eldest sister to the police station for the record, and the class was no longer on, and he took me to the hot pot restaurant in a blink of an eye.

Two low benches, an iron stove pot, and a table full of beer, duck intestines, hairy belly, these characteristic flavor snacks, Ge Zhuang and I chatted with each other, talking about the bitter things in prison for two or three years, and couldn't help but have a little moist eyes.

Ge Zhuang pointed to his face that had turned black into ashes, and said Little pumpkin, do you know, when it comes to winter, the cold sky is broken, the wind blows colder than the blade, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the summer is so hot that people die, I have been there for almost two years, and when I go home and look in the mirror, I almost can't recognize myself.

When I went to build the railway in southern Tibet, I saw a worker who caused altitude sickness due to lack of oxygen, and it was fine a second, but it didn't work, hundreds of meters high cliffs, and people fell into persimmons.

I didn't drink much, I drank beer, and after a few glasses, my face turned red, and I couldn't help but sigh that Ge Zhuang had a good life, and when he was released from prison, he immediately found a job again, which was better than me squatting under the bridge to pick up plastic bottles.

Ge Zhuang said fart, do you think I'm a policeman wearing a skin? Just like me, it's not the top pot and the back of the pot? I don't even have a formal contract, something went wrong with the law enforcement above, and we are the ones who are responsible, how do you think I got this quota? The last top cylinder lost my job, so it was my turn.

I said, don't you still have an old watch that takes care of you? Rest assured, this kind of top-pot blame thing can't fall on your head, behave well, strive to make a meritorious contribution, and you won't be able to make up your small life in the future.

Ge Zhuang poured a glass of beer, his eyes were red, he stomped the wine glass on the table, looked at me and said emotionally, "Little pumpkin, I still miss the days when I ate with you in Xiaoyizhuang and waited for death, how comfortable was the fat man at that time?" No one dares to scold us, and no one cares, hunting when we are hungry, shaving sweet potatoes, thirsty and mountain springs, much stronger than in this place. ”

I said fatty, don't think like that, they all say that people go to high places, I went back to see after I was released from prison, Xiaoyizhuang had already been demolished, and now the business of scooping up corpses is not popular, the country has a special search and rescue team, and Huishui Wanzi has become a place for fishing, and every household in Niuzigou is rushing out to work, and there are no more fellow villagers left.

Ge Zhuang said yes, it has indeed changed very quickly in the past few years, forget it, don't talk about those, the ancients all said that a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, you come to find me, that is not forgotten the love of the year, buddies can't forget you, you will live in my house in the future, I will find you a job, eat and live in my bag!

This dead fat man's family is also considered to be a landowner, much better than my father's pain, mother's orphan conditions, when "devolved" to Xiaoyizhuang, but also his father deliberately in order to sharpen his temperament, get rid of those prodigal stinky problems, never thought to meet me, into the den of thieves, and finally made a fuss almost couldn't even save his life.

Speaking of the past, I couldn't help but sigh again, I asked Ge Zhuang, did he contact Xiaoyue or Chen Yun after he was released from prison? Ge Zhuang said no, I want to find them, but unfortunately there is no contact information, in the same city, there are too many things that do not get along with each other, and I don't care about thinking so much.

I laughed at him and said that you were not very interesting to Xiaoyue back then? Ge Zhuang was anxious, with a big black face, red in the black, and said You are nonsense, the first thing I fell in love with was Chen Yun, and after class, I saw your pair of dogs and men eyebrows, and I couldn't stand the fat man, so I made a strategic transfer, who knew that so many things happened after the tomb, alas, I don't know if Xiaoyue recovered later.

I said fatty, there are some situations I haven't thought about whether to tell you or not. He saw that I was much more serious, grinned, and said Little pumpkin, how can you spit and swallow it is not cool at all, this special mother's is not your character, if you have anything to say, in addition to my daughter-in-law, what else can I not share with you?

I told him about what Chen Yun asked me about the day before yesterday, Ge Zhuang was anxious after hearing it, stood up and patted the table and said, "What, Xiaoyue has an accident again?" ”

I said not to talk about Xiaoyue, Chen Yun came to me with a very clear meaning, wanted me to follow her to continue to the grave, I refused at the time, but I was thinking about it over and over again in my mind for the past two days, I didn't want to fight, I just felt that my grandfather's disappearance back then was too weird, I want to find out, where did he go after he disappeared, what is the secret, it is worth his life's work to explore.

Ge Zhuang said that we have to think about this matter in the long run, little pumpkin, you have a word, I don't have to say it, I can follow you by patting my ass, the question is that following Chen Yun, can you really solve the truth? Don't be like last time, the fox didn't catch it and made a fuss.

I held my forehead with a headache, and said Fatty, what you said is reasonable, the matter of going to the tomb, we can't just make up our minds casually, this is to put it aside first, anyway, the ancient tomb can't run away there, by the way, how about the body bones of my uncle and aunt?

Ge Zhuang said it's very good, eat quickly, I'll take you back to my house in the afternoon when you've drunk enough, the old couple is idle at home, they love to fiddle with flowers and plants, life is very comfortable, you go to my house, you can also accompany the old man to chat more. No one spoke, and the old couple was strangely lonely.

In the afternoon, I followed Ge Zhuang to his compound. Like the old man, such a revolutionary, life meritorious service, life in his later years is undoubtedly very secure, living conditions are also good, a few in and out of the compound, the door is planted with flowers and plants, the group is full of flowers, there is a fish pond in the courtyard, I happened to see the old man squatting there to feed the fish when I entered the door, I was a little restrained, called him an uncle.

When I was in prison with Ge Zhuang, I had a relationship with the old man, and he was so angry that he scolded Ge Zhuang and didn't pay much attention to me, and I don't know what the old man's attitude towards me was when he came to the door in this capacity after three years.

He was wearing reading glasses, and he didn't recognize me when he turned around for a long time, Ge Zhuang's lips muttered, and said Dad, little pumpkin, you don't remember.

"Oh...... I remembered, you got out of prison? The old man pushed his glasses, and then he lost the fish food and walked towards me, just say it, after this kid in my family is released from prison, he thinks about you all day long, young man, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and he is still a good boy if he is willing to change.

Ge Zhuang said Dad, the first time people come to the door, can you not mention that matter?

I interrupted Ge Zhuang and said it's okay, old man, this is a spur to our life, it's not a bad thing to listen to the teachings of the elders, uncle, thank you for what happened back then!

Back then, if it weren't for this old man who broke into Beijing to find a relationship, it would have been a sure thing to eat iron peanuts according to the charges of me and Ge Zhuang, so I have always been grateful to the old man.

I, Sima Nan, am not a person who does not repay my kindness, and this life is also given by him, and I have always remembered it in my heart.
