On July 28, 1976, the Tangshan earthquake, although it was claimed that it was 7.8 magnitude, but Tangshan people knew in their hearts that there was more than 8 magnitude, and the entire Tangshan city became a ruin.

Those who survived fled the rubble and sought refuge in spacious, open areas. In the rubble of a certain community, a small car blocked the flow of fleeing people, it was a 130 small truck, pulling vegetables, and installing a high iron fence to plug in.

Only one person could pass sideways between the truck and the rubble. The young and anxious refugees climbed into the truck from behind and jumped from the front of the car.

It turned out that after the driver of the car escaped by chance, he was not worried about his relatives dozens of miles away, and he couldn't take care of many people in a hurry, so he climbed into the car and drove to visit.

The car drove forward like crazy, and it happened that two people were trapped in the car, and several times they tried to climb up to get into the gang, but they were thrown back into the car.

Later, I will die, where you are! After traveling frantically for dozens of kilometers, the car turned onto a mechanized road.

Even though it was a dirt road, the speed of the car did not decrease. After another two or three miles, a small river appeared in front of it, and the small bridge over the river had been destroyed, and cars could not cross.

Stopped, the driver took a closer look at the width of the collapsed bridge deck, took a few steps backwards to run, jumped over the bridge deck, and crawled through the green gauze tent.

The two people trapped in the car had to get out of the car at this time, and these were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, a boy and a girl.

It was pitch black all around, and the two groped their way into the cab, waited for the driver to return, and slowly fell asleep.

But where to sleep steadily, the aftershocks continued, and the two of them woke up several times. When I saw it at dawn, there were green gauze tents all around, and I didn't know where I was at this time, and I didn't know what place this was!

I don't know what to do! The two of them are looking forward to meeting passers-by at this time! Until the sun rose, I really met someone!

In the lower reaches of the river, I saw a man from a distance, shirtless and wearing large plaid trousers, with a willow branch in his mouth, and several fish on it, wading across the river to catch fish.

When they got closer, the two saw that this was a child of their own age, digging up loaches at an inlet not far away.

It turned out that the child was also sent by his parents to a relative's house to investigate the safety of his relatives, and after getting the news that there were no casualties, he actually played with catching fish on the way back.

The two children also leaned over to look, and the girl was also outgoing: "Big brother, you teach us how to catch it!" "In the end, the rural children are very simple, and they actually taught the two how to dig loaches.

He explained while demonstrating: "Dig up the mud like this, find this nest with a smooth inner wall, put your hand into this cone, slam it downward, and rub the other hand inward to lubricate it, when you touch the loach, don't slap it anymore, pout your fingers upwards at this time, leave room for the loach to turn over, wait for it to turn its head up, stretch it down with your thumb, pinch your head, lift it up, and catch it", and taught the two how to make this wicker string: "Break a dustpan willow, peel off the bark, wrap it around a few times like this, bite it with your mouth, and then stroke it hard, Stop when you reach the bottom, and you make such a wicker string. "The two newbies also learned quite quickly.

By the time the sun was high, the rural children had already caught two large strings, and the two children in the city had also caught a string.

The boy raised the skewer in his hand and said to the rural child, "Big brother, give this to you, we are useless", the rural child was honest and embarrassed, and said, "How can I ask for your loaches for nothing." In this way, there is a big river on Sanli Road to the west, called the Huixiang River, and I will lead you to the Hetao and wait first, there are few people there, and it is not far from my home. When I take this loach home, I will bring it to you!" So the two children waited in the loop, and when it was almost noon, the boy brought a large bowl of boiled loaches and two pancakes.

After the two city children had eaten, the three of them played here again. During the conversation, each other knew each other's age and experience.

The three of them fell in love very much, and they actually imitated the characters in the Water Margin, and picked up the soil to worship Jin Lan for incense. All three of them are fifteen years old, and the rural child is the eldest in the birth month, the eldest brother, the second urban boy, the second brother, and the youngest urban girl, the third.

In the evening, the boss met a worker from a nearby elementary school and opened a classroom, and the two of them slept on the desk, so that if there was an earthquake, they could get under the desk at any time to take shelter.

The three friends are ridiculously hiding from the adults to live a small life! And said okay, I will never go back to Tangshan again, anyway, there is no one at home!

After playing for 3 days, every day the boss secretly took food from home, and later the boss learned that when the little sister ran out, there was a cousin who was scattered, so he took out the boss's fan, let the little sister go back to the city, and find the cousin!

At that time, the rescue car continued for three days, and the three of them stopped a rescue car and asked Xiaomei to take a ride to find her cousin.

Before leaving, I swore that no matter whether I found my little sister or not, I would come back in a few days! After the little sister left, the two brothers couldn't always steal food from home, and this was not a long-term solution!

This little boss really has the style of the boss, taking his younger brother to find cicadas, digging the roots of the cow's mother (rehmannia), and catching the house finches (sparrows) at night, these things were purchased by the country at that time.

There was a well at the head of the village, and the whole street ate the water from the well, and the boss actually borrowed a wheel, tied the second child down to clean the well, and then took a small dustpan to collect rice and noodles from house to house.

Anyone who eats this well water has to have a point, which is also a good deed for everyone! It's hard to figure it out for him!

The episode is that there is also a Shanghai all-steel watch and a Parker fountain pen in the well, which has been inspected by adults who understand the bureau and confirmed that it is red gold tip, which is absolutely valuable.

When the second child came out of the well, he looked like a mud monkey! God knows how much suffering these little brothers have endured and how many sins they have suffered, all of this, just for one purpose, to raise money!

What do you want to do with the money? Buy fish vine essence! This rotten essence is a kind of pesticide, which is extracted from the fish vine to treat vegetable insects.

This thing can anesthetize the gills of fish, and if someone's fish pond is thrown with a bottle, it will be completely ruined.

Now this pesticide is no longer produced. There is a village a few miles east of the road, where there is a kiln pit, which is a big pit formed by burning bricks and taking soil, which has more than ten acres and has not been dry for decades.

The two brothers borrowed a sprayer and sprayed the fish vine essence inside, and caught more than 170 catties of fish overnight.

The brothers found a two-wheeled bicycle to pull it to the market and sold it for more than 100 yuan. More than 100 yuan was a very remarkable figure at the time, equivalent to two months' wages of a local worker!

In the next few months, the second child's living expenses don't have to worry! Later, the eldest found another meal for the second child.

The town's cart shop did not collapse during the earthquake, and the passing carriages often lived in the shop, which was very cheap, and there was also a daily hotel business inside, so he asked the second child to help the members of the shop carry water, clean the livestock shed, and do some odd jobs.

In the store, it will be given to the second child

"Folding the plate" means that it is allowed to eat the leftover meals of the guests. In this way, even if the second child settles down, plus the money from selling fish, watches and pens, he can barely get by.

Later, the eldest went to high school and restored the college entrance examination system, and he had a whim to give the second child homework after school every day.

This boss was originally a top student in terms of studying, and he told his family on weekdays that he would go home after self-study every night.

In this way, the family thought that he was studying at school at night, and the school thought that he was going home, but in fact, he went to the town to tutor the second child during this time!

Of course, because of the distraction, the boss's academic performance has also declined, but fortunately, it has not affected the overall situation! Later, during the college entrance examination, the boss was admitted to a school in Qinhuangdao, and the two of them couldn't do it if they didn't separate, and they hugged their heads and cried before leaving, reluctant to give up!

The eldest went to Qinhuangdao to study for less than a month, and the second child actually appeared outside the campus, it turned out that the second child was reluctant to leave the eldest brother, so he walked hundreds of miles all the way to find the school!

The boss secretly opened a window in the spare short-term training dormitory of the school, and let the second child secretly live in it, only a few buddies with iron connections knew the truth, and everyone secretly saved the nest head and left it for the second child.

At the end of the semester, the school arranged an internship in Tangshan, and the boss quietly took the second child, returned to Tangshan, and led him to the original street.

The second child's household registration and school status were restored. After that, for half a year, every time the money sent by the old family, he sent half of it to the second child, after all, it is expensive to live in the city.

The second child is also really competitive, the college entrance examination was admitted to a medical university with excellent results, because it is an orphan after the earthquake, enjoy special grants, so after graduation, he was sent abroad to study, the journey was smooth, the second child could stay abroad, but he was reluctant to his eldest brother, or came back.

Later, the second child became a well-known thoracic surgeon...... Everyone at the table was embarrassed when they heard my father talk about this, and I took my father's words and said: "While talking, I have arrived at Uncle Zhang's company, and when I opened the car door, I noticed that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Nie in the car were already in tears, hugging their heads and crying!" It's just that they didn't howl like Liu Wenhua and the others, but the tears couldn't be stopped, and the eyes were already swollen. Dad looked at me and said, 'At this time, you have also realized something, this sworn boss is Mr. Zhang, the big name is Zhang Baoguo, the second is Doctor Nie, and the big name Nie Xiaojun!" It dawned on me, no wonder! ”

"Dad patted them on the shoulder and said, 'Happy thing, don't cry anymore, come into your office, and I'll continue to tell you where it is today!' ”
