a)

After bathing after dinner, Chen Meijuan asked Wen Jing to try on two dresses: one is a red polka dot puff sleeve dress with a white background, and the other is a blue and white round-neck skirt. These two children's dresses were gifts she brought from Shanghai when she heard that Wen Jing was about to return to Jiyang.

Wen Jing held the hem of her skirt with both hands, happily turned around on the bed, and then tilted her head and asked her mother, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Zhu Yuliang looked at it for a while and said: "Well, it's concise, generous and foreign, Sister Meijuan's vision is good!" These two skirts will definitely not be available in Jiyang, and Master Xiaoduo may not be able to make them. Jingjing should wear it with love, don't go crazy outside in a new dress! The red shirt that my mother bought for you last time was torn in the blink of an eye, which made me angry...... Say, how will you repay Aunt Chen in the future? ”

Wen Jing said with an embarrassed "oh" and then flashed her dark eyes, "I...... In the future, I will make a lot of money, and I will buy all kinds of candy for Aunt Chen to eat. ”

"Haha, Auntie is waiting for this day! By the way, Auntie also left you a box of White Rabbit toffee! Chen Meijuan smiled while smearing something on Wen Jing's legs and hands.

"What is this? There is a minty scent. Zhu Yuliang asked.

"This is the wind oil essence, which I also brought back from Shanghai. Rub a little on the body, mosquitoes will not come, and it can also cure colds and headaches...... It's so useful! You go back and take two small bottles, you can't buy them here. ”

When the women were upstairs, Cai Fuguo had already cut the watermelon and was ready to cool off in the patio.

So, Chen Meijuan and Wen Jing told stories on the other side of the patio, and Cai Fuguo accompanied Zhu Yuliang and his wife to talk on the patio. When asked about Xu Guiying's age, Cai Fu said in a gloomy Chinese tone: "If my own mother is alive, she will be almost sixty; My sister will be 40 years old this year, and I don't know how she is doing. ”

Because Zhu Yuliang has never heard from Uncle Zhu Shenghua, he didn't tell Cai Fuguo about his uncle's help in inquiring about Ji Fuli's whereabouts. She knew that Cai Fuguo had always been worried about this matter, so she said: "My sister's whereabouts are always inquired about." ”

"How do you ask? My father's acquaintances are gone, who to ask? What if you inquire? I finally got mixed up with a proletarian background, and then got overseas connections...... Alas! As long as everyone is alive and well, it doesn't matter if they are connected or not. Cai Fuguo said duplicitously.

Xu Guiying couldn't help but cry and sigh after hearing this.

The night was cold, and Cai Fuguo saw that Xu Guiying was sleepy, so he began to arrange for everyone to rest.

Zhu Yuliang saw that Wen Jing was still pestering Chen Meijuan, so he persuaded: "Aunt Chen has to go to work tomorrow, it's not okay to sleep well at night, Jingjing should sleep with her grandmother and mother!" ”

Wen Jing responded sensibly: "Okay then! So he said "good night" to Mr. and Mrs. Cai, and followed his mother back to "my house".

After a while, Dabao brought the clean pillow and blanket and handed it to Zhu Yuliang; Zhu Yuliang took it and said, "Dabao has worked hard! ”

"Auntie! I ......" Dabao's face was flushed, he touched the back of his neck with his hand and slumped his body, a pair of big eyes that looked like Chen Meijuan dodged Zhu Yuliang's eyes, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Do you have something to tell your aunt? Wait, I'll put my things down and come downstairs. Zhu Yuliang guessed that Dabao was trying to explain to her the "misunderstanding" that happened yesterday.

And so it was.

"Haha, it's over, it's normal for a little man to be a little naughty outside, how can I tell your parents? Do you know? The reason why your mother's heart is so high-spirited, why she has endured humiliation for so many years, is it not for you and Erbao? Your parents are both competitive and face-saving people, if you don't like to study and get into trouble from time to time, is it tantamount to pouring salt on their psychological wounds? Zhu Yuliang felt that it was his duty and obligation to take the opportunity to educate his "nephew", but he tried to make his words more acceptable to the rebellious teenager.

"But for so many years, they haven't taken much care of me and Erbao!" Dabao lowered his head and said disapprovingly.

"Fool! If you had kept the two of you by your side, and the teachers and classmates treated you two as 'capitalist roaders' puppies every day, would you and Erbao be hurt even more?

Moreover, dual-income workers usually have to work during the day and study at night, and many couples are still separated from each other, and they can't bring their young children with them. You see, since Jingjing was born, the time she has stayed with me probably won't add up to more than a year, but I haven't missed her for a day.

It can be seen that the love of parents all over the world for their children is innate and unquestionable. And your parents' 'children's hearts' are even more important than ordinary people, and they really have no choice but to send you and Erbao to Shanghai to study! ”

Dabao lowered his head and was silent.

Zhu Yuliang saw that Dabao was not dripping, so he continued: "We can't choose our own origin, and we can't compete with the torrent of society, but we can't give up on ourselves! The more others look down on us, the more we have to fight for ourselves; We don't learn well ourselves, don't we let those who do bad things to us see our jokes? You are a smart person, you should know what it means to be a relative and an enemy, right? Promise my aunt that in the future, I must study hard with Erbao and don't make trouble again! ”

Dabao pursed his fluffy red lips, nodded and left.

(b)

The next morning, not long after the three ancestors and grandchildren of Zhu Yuliang arrived at the compound of the Commercial Bureau, Wen Yuanfang and they also returned home.

After Zhu Zhihui returned home, she immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote a poem and handed it to her eldest brother-in-law, humbly asking her eldest brother-in-law for advice.

Wen Yuanfang took the poem with interest and read it in a low voice:

"Five Leaks" - a new rain, like a thousand pearls dancing, the sound rhythm of the silent rocks is like a song, like a boy and girl reciting Tang and Song poems, the joy of the birds, is the note of harmony, free and easy, is your character, persistence, your feelings are unrestrained, is your portrayal, change is your magic, the rock stands silently beside you, deep like a thinker, immersed in a dream that does not wake up for ten thousand years, I stand in front of you, I want to follow you to appreciate the richness of the sea.

Haha, good poetry, good poetry! It's very charming. Come on, Zhihui, practice your pen well, you will definitely gain something! Wen Yuanfang excitedly encouraged this second brother-in-law who loves literature and is smart and studious.

"Brother-in-law help me change it!" Zhu Zhihui pleaded shyly.

"Poetry and words are natural, and there is no need to deliberately carve the words! So it doesn't have to be changed. Look! Wen Yuanfang said and handed the poem to his wife to enjoy.

Zhu Yuliang took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "The second brother is out of breath, and he can write poems?" Oh, how does your font look so similar to your eldest brother-in-law's? ”

"Hehe, I usually copy my eldest brother-in-law's font!" Zhu Zhihui replied with a red face.

Xu Guiying listened to the praise of the eldest son-in-law and the eldest girl for the baby second son, and her heart was naturally happy.

……

The next evening, Wen Yuanfang's family sent his mother-in-law and his wife and brothers on the train back to Runzhou. When parting, Wen Jing cried again, and told her grandmother: "If you get motion sickness, don't forget to rub some wind oil essence on your temples!" ”

Xu Guiying burst into tears and said, "Okay, good girl, don't cry!" Aren't you going back to Xiaoyizhuang for the Chinese New Year? ”

……

On the train, Xu Guiying tilted her head and dozed off, while the Zhu brothers chewed the white rabbit toffee that Wen Jing gave them, while chatting happily about the bits and pieces of this trip to Jiyang.

Zhu Zhicheng said: "You say, should I write to Li Ting first, or wait for her to write to me before I reply?" ”

Zhu Zhihui smiled: "If you think there is anything worth writing, you can also write it to her first!" If you don't think there's anything to write about, then it's not too late to wait until you receive her letter. You can reply to her letter based on what it says, so you don't run out of things to write about! ”

Zhu Zhicheng asked puzzledly, "Why can I reply based on the content of her letter?" Illustrate! ”

"For example, if she says which teacher she likes or dislikes in the new school year, and which course she likes or dislikes, you can also tell her which teacher you like or hate, and which course you like or hate," Zhu explained. In short, you have to explain your situation and feelings in relation to her content. It's like two people chatting, you can't say chicken and you will talk about ducks, she says Nanyuan you will talk about it, and if she asks you any questions, you can't answer well...... If so, your correspondence will not be able to continue! What, you have a crush on her? ”

"Oh! Hehe...... "Zhu Zhicheng smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't answer.

After a while, Zhu Zhicheng said again: "You say, the two boys surnamed Cai know that they can't beat the two of us, why are they so arrogant?" ”

"Some people are paper tigers who love to scare people, the more timid they are, the more they must appear not afraid of death, the more inferior they are, the more arrogant they must be, and they will be brave for themselves! It's called a bluff. Zhu Zhihui came to a conclusion.

"Second brother! How do I see the problem as you do? Zhu Zhicheng looked humbly taught.

"Haha! You're still young, and if you read more extracurricular books, you'll be able to mature quickly. Zhu Zhihui touched his brother's head and said.

Zhu Zhicheng changed the topic again and said: "Jingjing's eldest uncle is quite miserable, huh? I have been in labor camp all my life, and I have cancer when I am old. ”

"Yes! If you are not careful, you will lose everything. If you take the wrong route, you will be done for a lifetime. Although Zhu Zhihui didn't understand the word "route" in the superstructure, he still pretended to sigh.

"Route? But before a road is taken, who knows if the route is right? What route did the eldest brother-in-law take? Is his course right? ”

"So, the wisdom of choice is very important, otherwise it will depend on luck. How could such a smart person as the eldest brother-in-law take the wrong route? ”

"Then sometimes you don't have a choice, someone is chasing you behind, and you only have one way to escape, what should I do?"

"So it depends on luck! Struggle is important, but luck is even more important! ”

"Listening to you say that, how do I think that human fate is like gambling......" Zhu Zhicheng muttered.

"Okay, don't talk about these ethereal things, let's sleep for a while!" After Zhu Zhihui finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, ignoring his younger brother.

Seeing off the distant guest, Wen Yuanfang and his wife finally sighed.

That night, Wen Jing was impatient to ask for the reunion photo from her mother, and wanted her father to see what "Brother Lei" looked like.

Zhu Yuliang secretly observed her husband's expression, wanting to see how he reacted to this happy reunion photo.

Wen Yuanfang picked up the photo, scanned every face, and said in surprise: "Oh, Liu Zhixun is also there?" It seems that the dust has settled on his marriage to Yushan. Why isn't Yuzhen here? Oh, she's going to be on duty at the station. ”

Zhu Yuliang was noncommittal and responded to her husband's self-talk.

Wen Jing pointed at the little boy and said, "Dad! This is Brother Lei, didn't you see him when you were in Xiaoyizhuang during the Chinese New Year? ”

After hearing this, Wen Yuanfang took a closer look at the photo for a while, and suddenly asked with a big change in his face: "Liu Zhixun's Liu, is it the 'willow' of Yangliu, or Wendao Liu?" ”

"The 'willow' of the willow! What's wrong? Zhu Yuliang asked casually.

"Oops! I'm really a tendon, and I take it for granted that his surname is Wendao Liu's 'Liu'? Wen Yuanfang patted his head in annoyance, as if he had made an unforgivable low-level mistake.

Wen Yuanfang panicked and asked his daughter to put away the photos, and then said to his wife: "Fang Cai Li Wenshu said that I have accumulated a lot of documents on my desk to be processed, and I have to go to the bureau now; You take Jingjing to sleep first, don't wait for me! I'll be back when I'm done. ”

Zhu Yu's conscience comprehended the "oh" sound, and let him go.

Wen Yuanfang walked out of the compound of the Commercial Bureau and took a deep breath - the sudden message just now stunned him like a blow to the head, and he had to immediately find a place to be alone to calm his frantic and undulating heart.

Instead of going to the office building of the Commercial Bureau, he hesitated on the banks of the Huansha River, falling into an indescribable sense of amazement and loss......

"Ahh Although Lei Lei has grown up, I still recognize the little guy at a glance. How could I be so sluggish? No! To say that I am dull is not so much that I subconsciously do not want to accept this cruel truth. In order to escape from reality, I took it for granted that Liu Zhixun's surname was 'Liu', and I took it for granted that China was so big that there were more boys called 'Lei Lei', how could there be such a coincidence?

Now it seems, I was wrong again. I thought that as long as I kept going up and had more and more power in my hands, I would be able to control my own destiny and protect the people I wanted to protect.

But who exactly am I protecting? I watched the four generations of Sun Lei's ancestors and grandchildren struggling on the survival line and couldn't help, so that such a smart and lovely child as Lei Lei actually had to recognize his uncle as his father in exchange for a normal growth environment! And my biological daughter was also in danger when she was growing up, almost dying several times, and even her life was almost ruined; There are also Dabao, Erbao's rebellion and Li Ting's precociousness...... Do our children also have to be discriminated against, suppressed and buried for a long time like Wenwuwei? And who caused this series of tragedies?

No wonder Yuliang wants to divorce me, no wonder she is not optimistic about my political future! Now that I think about it, she was right after all. If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? I can't even manage my own marriage, I can't even protect my wife and children, how can I talk about working for the welfare of all mankind? ”

Wen Yuanfang continued to wander on the banks of the Huansha River, and the gusts of river wind with autumn seemed to blow him more and more sober. He pondered bitterly: "Teacher Chen's delicate hands, which were used to translate languages and hold chalk, can only wash mountains of dishes in the cafeteria; Dr. Liu's slender hands, which were used to hold scalpels, can now only cook at home and mop the floor; Professor Liu was supposed to teach and educate people in his own field, but now he can only feed pigs in the cadre school; Wen Wuwei would never want to go to any university even if he took the entrance examination of 100 years, and the 'White Roll Hero' who had just been born could actually study at Tsinghua University......

Is this practice of wasting talent on a large scale and persecuting talent really a manifestation of 'how quickly and well the province will build socialism'? Is there really only one way to transform the soul of intellectuals?

Criticism, criticism, endless criticism, even the ancients more than 2,000 years ago did not let go! I was also a thorough anti-feudal fighter, but I was against the feudal shackles and dross, not the Chinese civilization accumulated over thousands of years. Is throwing out the bathwater and the baby a complete manifestation of the revolution? And what is the purpose of our revolution?

Your revolutionary ideals are nothing more than forming cliques, fighting for power and profit, and sacrificing the peace and even the lives of your family and others in order to achieve your goals! If my conscience and courage remain, I must admit that Yuliang is right, this is the so-called bystander Qing! In this movement, the two 'reformers' on both sides are willing to fight for their lives with knives and guns in order to defend the so-called truth, and to whom should those innocent souls who have lost their lives ask for their lives?

If the confusion at the beginning of the movement made it difficult for me to see the direction, then I should have concluded by intuition and common sense that this is not the way to go!

When I educate the next generation, I keep saying that we must seek truth from facts and correct mistakes when we know them, so do I still have to go all the way to the dark now? Is there a turning back for me? ”

The water of the Huansha River gently slapped on both sides of the river, like a lap on the door of Wen Yuanfang's conscience, causing him to fall into deep contradictions, self-blame and remorse......
