Rural life is boring, there is no entertainment project, every day in addition to farming, is to do "that" in bed with his daughter-in-law, the countryside is not as Zhang Guozhong imagined at first, there are strange things happening every moment, in the years after Ma Zhenren's death, except for a hedgehog "looking (in the countryside, called a ghost on the body, by the animal to cultivate the body called seeking)" on the buddy, Zhang Guozhong three down five except for two, basically nothing major happened.

Time came to 1976 in a flash, in the days when there was no Ma Zhenren, Zhang Guozhong hung sandbags and memorized formulas every day, and never broke it, this is also Ma Zhenren's last wish, he can't even memorize all the formulas, what to carry forward Maoshan Quanzhen?

October 25, 1976, is a special day for Zhang Guozhong, two days ago he just passed his 30th birthday, this morning, Li Erya got up at the door for a while retching, Zhang Guozhong often read the medical books handed down by Ma Zhenren, and also accumulated some medical knowledge, according to his pulse level, Li Erya has been pregnant (the pulse of pregnancy is called "slippery pulse", that is, the pulse of the smooth ball, it is the easiest pulse, if you can't even get the "slippery pulse" as a traditional Chinese medicine, then you can basically go to be a veterinarian).

Just as Zhang Guozhong was humming a little song in the house, Li Sangui took a newspaper from a few days ago and rushed all the way to Zhang Guozhong's house, Zhang Guozhong couldn't believe his eyes at this moment:

The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, represented by ******, Ye Jianying, Li Xiannian and other comrades, took resolute measures to isolate and examine *, *, ******, and ******...

Such a large headline was printed on the front page of the newspaper in the largest bold type, and the "Notice on the Incident of the ******, *, *, and ******* Groups" of the Party Central Committee was also reprinted at the bottom.

After 10 years of calling for wind and rain on the land of China, the ****** that stirred up China has fallen like this, Zhang Guozhong really can't believe that two days ago there was a big banner on the wall of the commune that reads "Learn from Comrade *", and this comrade *, who was an example for the people of the whole country to learn from a few days ago, has become a prisoner at this time.

Li Erya is 5 years younger than Zhang Guozhong, at this time he is 26 years old, and he is a little more than 25 years old, but in the eyes of the countryside, he is already an older youth, according to the doctor's opinion, with the medical conditions in the countryside at that time, it is dangerous to give birth at this age, in case of dystocia, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the mother and child. Therefore, when Li Erya was 7 months pregnant, Zhang Guozhong sent Li Erya to her home in the city to raise her, and was ready to send her directly to the hospital when she was due to give birth.

Zhang Guoyi has always admired his brother, especially his brother at this moment, in his mind, he is already an omnipotent martial arts master plus a demon hunting Arhat, just trotting 20 kilometers without resting this ability, Zhang Guoyi has not only blown with one person.

* After the end, Zhang Guoyi became the secretary and driver of the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, Director Wu of the Municipal Education Bureau had stayed in the countryside earlier, and was once a comrade-in-arms of Zhang Guozhong's grandfather, * Zhang Guoyi had helped him a lot when he was fighting, not only sent people to protect the safety of his whole family, but also helped him collect rehabilitation materials in the process of rehabilitating his grandfather, so * ended, after he was reinstated, the first thing Director Wu did was to ask Zhang Guoyi to come over.

On this day, Zhang Guoyi brought two bottles of wine to Director Wu's house, after eating, Zhang Guoyi asked the director if he could help his brother from the countryside to come back, which is simply too simple for a department-level cadre (Tianjin is a municipality directly under the central government, and the mayor is a ministerial-level cadre, so the director of the Municipal Education Bureau was a department-level cadre at that time), and at that time, after the end of the day, there was a lot of waste to be lifted, and old secondary school graduates like Zhang Guozhong happened to be in urgent need of education. After making a phone call to the comrades of the Personnel Bureau, a transfer notice was sent to Li Village.

At the send-off party, Captain Li and his three sons had red circles in their eyes, "Guozhong, don't forget the villagers, come back every three or five times to take a look..."

"Well, well..."Zhang Guozhong also had a sour nose, and couldn't say a word, after all, these are villagers who have lived together for ten years, and they usually think it's nothing to drink nonsense, but now they are really going to separate, and they are really reluctant. But to tell the truth, at this time, Zhang Guozhong's vigor when he first came to the countryside is gone, after all, he is still a young man, and his longing and desire for the outside world have been burning in Zhang Guozhong's heart for many years.

Lao Liu Tou's case was also overturned under Zhang Guoyi's movement, and when he walked out of the prison, Zhang Guozhong waited outside the prison, and took Lao Liu Tou on a bicycle to eat a table at Dengyinglou Restaurant, spending Zhang Guozhong twelve yuan, although he had no feelings, but this old Liu Tou was his senior brother after all, and it could be regarded as a kind of remembrance of Ma Zhenren.

After being transferred back to the city, Zhang Guozhong worked as a teacher in a secondary school, teaching Chinese, to be honest, Zhang Guozhong's research on ancient literature over the years has helped him a lot in his cultural attainments, although he has not taught for ten years, but this secondary school language is still difficult for Zhang Guozhong. As the days passed, I saw that Li Erya was on her due date.

"It's a boy," the nurse took off her mask and told the family who were waiting anxiously outside the door. Zhang Guozhong knelt on the ground happily, "Master..., I'm going to be a father!" Although the nurse has delivered many pregnant women and seen all kinds of happy actions, she has never seen such a thing, "Oh, my brother is like this, his master had a car accident two years ago, and he has no children, so he wants to hug his apprentice's child..."

However, the happiest thing this time is Zhang Guozhong's father, who was originally the same thing for Li Erya, a rural girl, and the second elder, but the child was born as a boy, and Li Erya's status in the family was immediately improved by leaps and bounds, although the concept of equality between men and women was the focus of social education at that time, but the idea of patriarchy still had a place in Zhang Guozhong's family, especially his grandfather's thoughts.

According to the year of birth, the child lacks soil in the five elements, according to the tips of the master of the year, the child should take the city head soil, Zhang Guozhong pondered for a long time, and then gave the child a name "Zhang Yicheng".

Zhang Guozhong was assigned a house in the school, and the family of three lived in this building quite well, at least with running water, sewerage, electric lights and television, which was unthinkable in rural areas. According to the standards at that time, the house that Zhang Guozhong was assigned should be called "Du Chef (the early housing standards in Tianjin are as follows: the most basic building should be a single house, that is, only their own living room, multiple neighbors share the same kitchen and a toilet, above the list is the single kitchen, that is, their own family has an independent kitchen, but the toilet should be shared with neighbors, to the mid-to-late eighties, there are single and partial single, the so-called single is a bedroom with a toilet and kitchen independently, the so-called partial single, that is, the highest housing at the beginning, It is a two-bedroom apartment with a toilet and kitchen, which was at least the treatment of department-level cadres in the mid-eighties, and until now, the name of single and partial single is still synonymous with one-bedroom and two-bedroom houses in Tianjin)", Zhang Yicheng enrolled in the nursery school attached to the school nearby, and Li Erya was also arranged to work in the school-run factory, producing tourist chess with magnets.

Time is like an arrow, the spring breeze of reform and opening up soon bathed the land of China, time into the eighties of the twentieth century, Hong Kong businessmen, European and American foreign businessmen sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in China, these big cities are blooming everywhere, from automobiles and home appliance manufacturing, to financial real estate investment, the country is full of foreign shadows, Tianjin also ignores, especially some Hong Kong businessmen, or drive a car to swagger through the city, or in the Friendship Hotel chic to have a cup of coffee of more than 20 yuan (Friendship Hotel is the earliest foreign-related hotel in Tianjin, opened in 1974, Since then, the foreign-related hotels have also been Li Shunde Hotel, Hyatt Regency Crystal Palace Hotel, but much later, opened in 1985, 1986, 1987, of which Li Shunde Hotel has been in the 80s of the 19th century, it is said that the room where Mr. Sun Yat-sen has stayed, but the foreign-related business is late), no matter what foreign businessmen do, they have become a model for some Chinese who have just become rich.

Zhang Guoyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, everyone knows, on this day, Zhang Guozhong was preparing a lesson plan at home, when someone suddenly knocked on the door outside, Li Erya opened the door, and saw Zhang Guoyi enter the house with a small man with a height of up to 1.6 meters.

"This is Mr. Wang Zihao." Zhang Guoyi said, "We are preparing to invest in a feed mill in Tianjin. ”

"Hello, hello!" Zhang Guozhong had never seen a foreign businessman, so he immediately put down the lesson plan and greeted him with both hands.

"This... It's the Mr. Zhang you said, right? The little man looked at Zhang Guoyi.

"Yes, this is my brother," Zhang Guoyi greeted him with a smile, "Your business in Tianjin is the only one he can do..."

"Mr. Zhang, if you can help me, money is not a problem, please, I hope you can be compassionate!"

When Hong Kong businessmen say this, Zhang Guozhong is also a wolf, he has not done anything, why do some people ask for mercy for themselves? It's like how many people I've killed.

"My name is Wang Zihao, and I am Hong Kong silver..."

"Mr. Wang, you... This said... What do you mean? Zhang Guozhong also had a question mark in his head. What "Hao", "Biao", and "Long" are all common names used by Hong Kong and Taiwan people, and the names mixed with these words have no achievements in Zhang Guozhong's view, and they are simply vulgar. The prince in front of him is no exception, "Mr. Wang, if you have something to say, don't worry." ”

At this time, Li Erya had already brought a bowl of water, and Wang Zihao sat on the stool.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a department, you must help...", Wang Zihao took out a dozen Hong Kong dollars from his leather bag and put it on the table, "Mr. Zhang, this department is a little bit of a department, I heard that you are very natural, if you help me with this (this time), I will definitely have a lot of thanks!" As he spoke, the prince made a gesture, bowed his head deeply, and said with a crying voice.

"What the hell is wrong with this man?" Zhang Guozhong asked Zhang Guoyi secretly.

"It seems that something evil has happened, and I was introduced to me, and I thought that this fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, so I brought it to you..."

"Mr. Zhang, look at this...", Wang Zihao took out a piece of jade from his bag and handed it to Zhang Guozhong.

This is a peerless jade, revealing a luster that cannot be replicated, with Zhang Guozhong's knowledge, he has never seen such a pleasing jade. "Mr. Wang, is there anything wrong with this jade...?"

Glancing at Zhang Guozhong, Wang Zihao showed a hint of helplessness, "Mr. Zhang, do you really think that there is no problem with this thing?" ”

"My grandfather bought it from an Englishman, and when it came to the house, it kept going bad! The house is haunted every day, this thing is too evil, and now I want to sell it, but I can't sell it..."

Zhang Guozhong almost didn't cry, he came to me if he couldn't sell his things, this Maoshan technique is not an advertising company, your things can't be sold, and I can't help you sell them.

"Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood, you can't sell it..."Wang Zihao took a sip of water, "And the department sells it and comes back by himself...", Wang Zihao sighed again, "Every time I come back, the buyer's home will wash the silver (dead people)!" At first I thought it was a coincidence, but now I don't think it's a coincidence! "Wang Zihao's emotions are a little out of control." I sold it to a friend of Malai, but within half a year, my friend sent it back, saying that this thing was not auspicious, and the family washed silver (dead people), and then a Taiwanese friend bought it, and the whole family washed it up, and this thing came back to myself (myself), and then I donated it to the museum, and it was also sent back by silver, saying that this thing was evil, and then I found silver and buried it in the field, and it remembered that it (himself) returned to the safe where he was originally stored, and the whole family was scared to half wash it! Now, I can't throw this thing away, and I'm worried that my house will wash people too! ”

Holding this piece of jade, Zhang Guozhong looked at it carefully, no matter what, this is an ordinary piece of jade, there is nothing weird, could it be...
