Chapter 14: The Third Uncle

I looked back and saw a tiger-headed bear child standing behind me, holding a plastic submachine gun, and then behind me, the third aunt followed, panting and saying, "I can't catch up with this child!" When he saw us, he hurriedly greeted, "Shi Yan is here, have you graduated?" I replied: "After graduation, the three of us partnered to open a metaphysical museum, show people things, do a psychological counseling or something, this time I encountered something, I heard that my third uncle knows a master, will detain the gods and send generals, call for wind and rain, move mountains and seas, and scatter beans into soldiers......" My third uncle laughed, "How can there be such a master!" ...... "The child ran over, crawled to the third uncle, saw the fruit basket we brought, his eyes were straight to see, I hurriedly opened the fruit basket, asked him which one he wanted, this child took this, touched that, the third aunt nodded and said, "Look at that point!" After speaking, he held the fruit basket and said, "What are you buying?" This cub doesn't eat anything good......" he said as he entered the house, and the child followed him into the house.

Hearing us talk about the master, the third uncle became interested, took a sip of tea, and opened the conversation: "If you want to say that this master, I still met when I was in the mountain village!" Your third uncle and I, back then, were red hearts to the party! In response to the party's call, it is necessary for young intellectuals to go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants. 'Thought requires progress, take the initiative to write an application, and go to the countryside! At that time, he was wearing a big red flower and beating gongs and drums to be sent on the train. When I first went, I really suffered a little! The big gluttony (lรก) made my throat hurt, the wheat at that time was not a harvester, nor was it cut with a sickle, but pulled by hand, that tired, the big sun is called a poison! Some of the educated youths were screaming loudly at that time...... Fortunately, it came out quickly, all thanks to the appearance of that master! โ€

Speaking of this, the third uncle took a sip of water and said with excitement on his face: "That is an old cadre, who was in Tianjin before liberation, working on the side of the enemy and puppet, and his real identity is an underground party. Later, when passing on information, his identity was accidentally exposed, and the party organization sent an inside line to cover his escape from Tianjin and return to the arms of the organization. Soon it was the Pingjin Campaign, which fought in Tianjin, and because he was very familiar with the terrain of Tianjin and its suburbs, he was transferred to the front line and incorporated into Deng Hua's troops. After that, he returned to China and transferred to work in the Ministry of Materials. This is such an old cadre who was wrongly classified as a rightist during the anti-rightist movement. Because he has many battle stories and glorious histories, but he never mentions them, but he always tells people the story of his past dealings with an immortal when he was undercover on the enemy's side! This can't be completely blamed on him, at that time he belonged to the educated, and arranged work there, but his subordinates were not lower than him at all, they were all veterans, with many years of combat experience, but they were uneducated, illiterate, and arranged a regular position for them below, they couldn't do it without culture, and they used to be their subordinates, so they didn't go, and they would rather be a custodian in the capital. When it comes to battle stories, those people are more good than him, and he can only blow these boundless things! But these belonged to the bull ghosts and snake gods at that time, so they were beaten as rightists. However, at that time, he was not sent to work, and it was because of what he said, even if he thought he was a poisonous weed, he had no intention of attacking the party, and it was just nonsense after dinner. However, in the next ten years, he was not so lucky, because he was a one-line contact during the work of the enemy and puppet, and now he cannot find the leader at that time, so he was sent to his hometown for labor reform on the charge of 'having historical problems'. This would have been a bad thing for him, but he didn't want to get a blessing in disguise!

He was transferred from the Ministry of Materials, knew the local material bureaus, and was able to bring pesticides, fertilizers and other scarce means of production to the village, which was very valued in the village, and he also contacted various places through the connections of his subordinates, and bought the equipment eliminated in a factory as scrap steel, and hired experts to debug, and built a spring factory in the village to produce large springs for locomotives. At that time, the output of state-owned factories was tight, and of course they were willing to have such helpers, so they let them process on behalf of others in the form of outsourcing processing. The springs produced by it naturally became the output of state-owned factories. At that time, the big spring was more than 70 yuan per unit! That's a month's worth of a sixth-level worker in the city. After that, he built several factories, and he became the leader of the brigade. He will be asked to come forward and discuss many things. Up to now, the village can still collect millions of contract fees every year, and the factories he opened are still there! At that time, we, the educated youths, were all sent to various factories as young and strong laborers, which means that the work is no different from that of the workers in the city! But the income is not low, I am like this, I was a maintenance fitter in the factory at that time, more than 80 yuan per month, 10 points, and at the end of the year, the money will be divided again, that is really envious of the life of the dead! It's higher than the income of the eighth-level workers in the city! Therefore, at that time, the educated youths in the vicinity asked people to lean on their faces, and they tried to adjust their ideas to this point. Some of the bad ingredients simply married the members of the brigade and did not return to the city.

But this master was rehabilitated at this time. He only stayed in the brigade for two or three years, and before wenge was over, he was rehabilitated. The reason was that the underground party who covered his evacuation from Tianjin was also locked up because he could not find a witness, and later this person confessed that when he was in Tianjin, he had covered an underground party to evacuate Tianjin according to the party's instructions, and that person had seen this evacuated underground party after liberation, in the Ministry of State Materials! So the unit, with a letter of introduction, came to the material department to be transferred, so that the historical problems of the two were clear, and his high-level subordinates were all in trouble, so he was rehabilitated and recalled to work in the original unit. Later, he retired, and then implemented the policy to retire, and the brigade did not forget his merits, built a yard for him, hired a nanny, and invited him back. He gave up the room assigned to the child and returned to his hometown. โ€

I chimed in at this point and said, "Damn! Third uncle, if you say so, this old man should be more than a hundred years old now, can he still find it? It won't be too early to go west! โ€

The third uncle waved his hand and said: "Still alive, not long ago we had a gathering of educated youth, there were educated youths who got married locally and did not return to the city, according to them, the old man is still alive, and he is still in good spirits, but he has lived in a simple house for the past two years." I hurriedly said, "Third uncle, then do you think we can go and ask the old immortal?" The third uncle still smiled and said, "I really want to go there to see it!" I hurriedly "lit the fire" and said, "Third uncle, when is it convenient for you, we are driving, and you will take us to visit this old immortal?" The third uncle smiled: "It's convenient at any time, after I retire, there is nothing!" Haha...... "The third uncle is always cheerful and straight. I hurriedly said, "Do you think tomorrow is okay?" The third uncle nodded, "Yes!" I was overjoyed: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, the three of us will drive to pick you up!" โ€......

When I came back from my third uncle, I called my parents and told them that we would go to the countryside tomorrow, Lin Feng also filled the car with gas and said hello to Uncle and Aunt Quan, and Chongxi was also ready. I'm still a fruit basket, two bottles of wine and a barrel of tea. The next day, we picked up the third uncle, and under the guidance of the third uncle, we headed for the mountains. Although the road into the mountain is narrow and curved, it is smooth and made of cement. After entering the mountain, the surrounding is green, the on the mountain are chirping, the air is very fresh, driving in such an environment, it is really refreshing, the third uncle unconsciously hummed the song at that time, it can be imagined that the third uncle today remembered the mood of the "vast world refining red heart"! This may be incomprehensible to our generation!

After entering the village, it was easy to find out where the old man lived, and when he arrived at the gate, he rang the doorbell, and after a while, a nanny-like man opened the small door on the gate, and after asking the meaning of the visit, the whole gate was opened, and our car drove into the yard. After the nanny closes the door, take us into the courtyard, the courtyard is a two-story main house, Jingdong's traditional tile house with eaves, through the first floor of the main house, on both sides is the wing room, in the middle of the road, on both sides of the road is "can't die" flowers, through the second floor of the house, to the backyard, it turns out that there is a hole in the backyard, the top shelf is grapes, has hung fruit, but it is not ripe, after walking for a while, it is a loofah. There is a rockery in front, the road on both sides bypasses the rockery, and there is a lotus pond in front, which is really extravagant! Then there is a gazebo in the back, there are steps on one side of the lotus pond, there is an iron railing next to the steps, it seems that it is for the old man to fish, behind the gazebo is a fruit tree, I am not a rural person, I don't know what kind of tree it is, it has produced spherical fruits, there is a stone table in the gazebo, there is a teapot and tea bowl on it, and the old man is sitting on a chair drinking tea. The third uncle took a few steps and said loudly, "Uncle Xuan! The old man heard the shout, looked up for a while, and stood up in surprise, "Hengzi! Haha...... "stood up and shook hands with the third uncle, forgetting to say that the third uncle's name is Zhang Yuheng, and he is a junior in front of the old man, and the old man used to call him Hengzi, and the third uncle called the old man "Uncle Xuan" is not the old man's surname Xuan, the old man's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Yixuan. As for the uncle, there are two situations in the BOE dialect, if the word "master" is soft, it refers to the uncle, and if it is reread, it refers to the eldest brother of his grandfather.

After greetings, the third uncle introduced the three of us, "This is my nephew Shi Yan, and those two are his buddies Lin Feng and Chongxi" The old man was stunned when he heard my name, and then he pointed at me and laughed, "Haha, Shi Yan, Shi Yan!" Hahahaha! "Laughing forward and backward, I let this old guy laugh!
