In 1969, I was 24 years old, vomited blood twice in the construction of a dam by the Corps, and came to Jiamusi to escape from the entanglement of the Red Guards of the Educated Youth, and to visit relatives in this recuperation.

Now I have lost my grandfather, grandmother and third uncle, as well as my mother, second aunt and second brother in Shanxi, and I have no relatives, the only one is the eldest brother in Inner Mongolia and the second uncle of Jiamusi, I have regarded the second uncle as my own home.

My second uncle, like me, was baptized in a special era, and he vomited blood after being criticized during the exercise, and now he is also recuperating from injections at home, and his body is already very weak. It is said that my cousin wants a revolution and wants to draw a clear line with the second uncle of the rightist to sever the father-daughter relationship.

Her cousin, Xiaoli, is 21 years old, and she started a rebellion during the school movement. There was a soldier in the room on this trip, and she saw that the military uniform had a soft spot, and it seemed that she was like a demon and often ran to the soldier's house.

On this day, I heard my cousin's cry for help, and I ran to the kitchen and saw my second uncle burning the stove hook, what did I want to do? When I entered the back room, I saw my cousin hanging by a rope, and she was still shouting, did the second uncle want to physically punish and burn the stove hook and then burn it?

I hurriedly came out to persuade me, but the second uncle just smiled and let me into the house, he said that he didn't let me go, or said with a smile, it must be intentional intimidation, and it will not be burned with a stove hook. Maybe this is my second uncle's assessment of what happened to me, and the difference between men and women is my biggest drawback, so I have nothing to do.

In the evening, my cousin was unloaded and had a meal together, but the next morning she disappeared and ran away from home, where could she go? The neighbor's soldier had already returned to the team, and as a soldier he would not take her away, so where did she go? After three days, there was no trace of her, what should I do?

After asking the neighbors, the soldier had been transferred from Mudanjiang to Dandong. So is he in Mudanjiang or Dandong? The second uncle asked me and Xiao Wu to look for it, and we set off that night to resolutely find Xiaoli back.

My cousin Xiao Wu and I took a car to South China and Jixi and then arrived at Mudanjiang, where we had already found all the urban areas of the counties and cities, and we had also specially visited Jiguan Mountain in Jixi, where there were many black people like Africa, who were actually coal miners with ashes on their faces. The weather in Mudanjiang is hotter than Jiamusi, it is very close to North Korea, it is said that the six sets of ditches on the Tumen River can walk into North Korea, Xiaoli must not go to North Korea, right?

We went from Mudanjiang to Shenyang, and then took a car to Dandong, but we still got off at Benxi, which was an electric sports car, and it was said that there were iron ore mines and steel plate factories there. Then go to Phoenix Mountain, Wulongbei, Toad Pond, and finally go straight to Dandong City. On the way to the train, I passed through a tunnel, and the long tunnel train drove for nearly 7 minutes, so scary!

Dandong City was originally called Andong, because of the movement to change the name of the city, the town of Gangsan Park also changed to Geumgangsan Park, as long as you look east in the park, you can clearly see the Yalu River Bridge to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and clearly see the city of Sinuiju in North Korea.

Xiao Wu and I really went to the army, and I learned that Xiao Li really came, and Dai Jianguo and the neighbor had returned to Jiamusi and had been gone for five days. Hearing this, Xiao Wu and I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to Dandong City, the people of that city spoke with a special accent, showing that they were so gentle and civilized, and the dress was also very exquisite, and the woolen leather shoes were very clean and elegant, setting off the cultural city. In particular, the cold water there is extremely clear, and it feels a little sweet when you drink it, maybe this is the reason why people almost all have fine skin and tender meat.

There are six silk factories here, and if you want to go back to Jiamusi, you also have to bring back some silk materials, which is not in vain. I bought four pieces of material in the county front street shopping mall, and took the train to return to Jiamusi in a hurry that evening, and walked out of the railway station when I came to Shenyang to reverse, which was a German-style station. There is also a monument to the martyrs of the Soviet Red Army in front of the station, which is higher than the Harbin station, and the muzzle of the gun is also facing little Japan.

When I returned to Jiamusi's second uncle's house, I learned that Xiaoli had really come back, and now how to solve the marriage between Xiaoli and Dai Jianguo with her neighbors. After repeated consideration, the second uncle agreed, and promised to get married after Dai Jianguo was discharged from the army. An engagement ceremony was also held for this purpose.

At that time, the fabric was only black, blue, green, and white, and it was rare to see flower fabric. The second uncle took the four pieces of material we bought from Dandong and decided to give Xiaoli two pieces, and let my cousin give the remaining two pieces to his fiancée Liu Fenglan, and asked my cousin to take me to Boli Liu's house.

I followed my cousin on the train to Liu's house, and my cousin introduced the past of a train fire on the train. It was a few months ago, when the train stopped at a small station and started on the way to Boli when the last two carriages suddenly caught fire, and in less than two minutes the carriages were already on fire and could not be saved, it is said that the passengers were carrying alcohol, and the cigarette butts caused the alcohol to burn and explode.

Although the train braked suddenly, the burning passenger train could not be saved, and the only way to do it was to automatically decouple to avoid the fire from affecting the car box in front. In this way, people waited for the ambulance to arrive, and after rescue, except for the loss of two carriages, all 154 conductors and passengers were killed, causing a serious accident of life and property.

As we were about to arrive at Boli Station, my cousin and I looked out the window and saw the graves that passed by, leaving a historic desolate scar on the local train accident.

After arriving at the station, my cousin took me straight to Liujiatun, which is 18 miles away from the station, and I have to pass through a large tunluo halfway. When I arrived at Liu's house, it was already afternoon, and not far in front of Tunzi was a deep forest in the mountains, where it is said to be the South China Forestry Bureau.

The uncle of the Liu family is in his fifties, and he is also a well-known good hunter in the local area. His daughter, Liu Fenglan, combed two large braids of nearly one meter, which set off her melon seed face and looked beautiful and stable, her size was on par with her cousin, and her clothes were also very plain, which can be said to be a very simple rural girl. They looked at the silk cloth and smiled, and the joy of the whole family touched me, what an envy!

We only stayed in Liu's house for three days, and we returned to Jiamusi after saying goodbye to Liu's house. The age of his cousin is 23 years old, and he is also as energetic and prosperous as his second uncle in the past, his thick eyebrows and big eyes are dignified, especially his eyes are bright. He has graduated but has no job, and spontaneously learned the maintenance of semiconductors, and some radios and other problems are his hand to get rid of them, which is also his future craft.

The cousin and cousin are facing the age of marriage, and the head of the family is the second uncle. My aunt has always been obedient and never quarreled with the world, she is a traditional housewife who obeys the orders of her second uncle, a traditional housewife who loves her son as her life.

My second uncle asked me to go to the railway hospital to get medicine, which was cyanomycin and streptomycin injections. But when I came to the hospital, there were big-character posters hanging high in the corridors, and some of them criticized my second uncle. I carefully read the critical slogans: "Resolutely Down with Sun Linjing's Reactionary Thoughts!" and "Resolutely Purge the Bourgeois Toxins That Laymen Can't Lead Insiders!". It can be seen from the critical slogans that these are entirely the result of the second uncle's remarks.

It was the medicine that the director of the office helped to take, and when I came home and mentioned the slogan of the big-character poster, my second uncle just told two stories disapprovingly: "Once upon a time, there was a rich man who was very famous in the local area, and on this day he asked his servants to drive him to the market. On the way, he saw a young man in his field, so he asked the servant to stop the car, and he went up to the young man and said, "Why are you in my field? ”

The young man was helpless when he heard this, so he had to hold the in his hands and move it out of the field. One day, three years later, the old rich man went to the market again, and looked east and west in the market, and a man in a coat greeted him: "Hello wow!" and bowed politely with his hands in worship.

The old rich man returned the salute when he saw it, and the man in the coat said, "I miss me! As he spoke, he helped the old rich man to the attic of Haolaishun. The young man in the coat asked for a rich dish and wine, and the two of them pushed the cup and drank it really happily. The old rich man was well-informed, but he couldn't remember who this young man in a coat was.

If the old rich man doesn't ask, it's fine, but this young man tells the truth, he turns out to be the young man who the rich man let the go. When the old rich man heard this, he immediately stood up, his face flushed with ruddy, and he hurriedly took out the silver taels, but the young man refused to let him live or die, and the rich man hurriedly withdrew from the attic with a red face.

When he got home, the old rich man didn't dare to go out anymore, he couldn't eat or sleep, and within two months he died, which was also the end of the way of life. Let me tell you another historical story: "It is said that there was such a pair of friends in the past, and the relationship was closer than that of brothers and brothers. On this day, the eldest came to the second brother's house, and the second brother hurriedly let the eldest brother to the chairman, busy making tea, lighting cigarettes, and asking the daughter-in-law to cut meat and wine, and put wine and food and dumplings.

The two brothers drank so much that they were spinning. When it was late, the second brother sent the eldest brother outside the gate, and the eldest brother asked the second brother to visit at home, and the second brother agreed to the invitation. When the second brother sent the eldest brother back to the house, he found that his forty taels of silver were missing, and he couldn't find it no matter how he turned it over, and finally decided that the eldest brother had taken it.

The next day, the second brother asked the daughter-in-law to go to the eldest brother's house, but the daughter-in-law had to come to the eldest brother's house and explain her intentions. The eldest brother was shocked at the time and said calmly: "I drank and made a mistake yesterday, and I took forty taels of silver." ”

But when the daughter-in-law came back, the second brother found the forty taels of silver in the kang cave, so what should I do? I had to ask the daughter-in-law to go to the eldest brother's house again to invite him to come to the house to make amends. And the daughter-in-law ran three times in a row, and the eldest brother always said that he was sick and didn't come, which made the second brother sad. After a few days, the second brother thought that he had to go to the eldest brother's house in person.

The second brother really went that day, and the eldest brother went out to greet him energetically, and also asked his wife to cut meat and wine, and also put wine and food and dumplings. The two of them were drunk, and the second brother mentioned that he had found the forty taels of silver, but the eldest brother insisted that he took the silver taels, and when the second brother was leaving, he asked his sister-in-law to take the forty taels of silver and send the second brother home together.

The second brother woke up and saw that the extra silver was at a loss, and he was also in a nest for this, and over time, he was also killed by the nest.

Through these two stories, we warn people that we must be morally responsible for doing things, and we must not be hasty when encountering problems, and educate people that they must have the necessary loyalty and morality to be a person. ”

After listening to the story, I wanted to feel that the second uncle was so optimistic, as if he was avoiding the big-character posters of the unit and those political criticism slogans. Why?

Xiaoli and Dai Jianguo got married, they asked for a house in the bearing factory, and the second uncle not only gave them the two pieces of silk cloth, but also gave Xiaoli a brand new bicycle. My cousin and I went to Xiaoli's new home several times, and they were warmly welcomed.

On this day, my cousin and I came to see Xiaoli again, and Jianguo Gong was not at home when he was transferred out. At the dinner table, I proposed to my cousin: "Xiaoli, now that you are married, you can't forget the parents who gave birth to you and raised you!"

Xiaoli said, "No." ”

I also said: "People say that if you don't have a family, you don't know how much money and rice are expensive, and if you don't raise children, you don't know your parents' hearts. ”

Xiaoli said: "I know that my cousin is for my good, don't worry, I will definitely honor my parents." ”

I didn't dare to mention that she broke off the father-son relationship with the old man, and I felt from the bottom of my heart that Xiaoli had indeed changed after getting married, and I believed that she would definitely honor her parents and the old man.

Look at Chapter 43: A Massacre Should Not Have Happened.
