Dapeng enjoys all the treatment of educated youth, there is a month of family leave every year, not only the salary is still paid but also the car travel expenses are reimbursed, he has to go home to visit relatives every winter, and he returned to the South Bureau house with two bags of noodles.

Originally, wheat was exported for two jiao per catty, but in the XPCC, it was only sold for 1 jiao and 6 cents per catty, which was cheaper than wheat, and even steamed steamed bread and pasta in the canteen could only be sold at two dimes per catty.

But the city's supply per person is only 8 catties of noodles a month, and the rest is coarse grain supply. Leave a bag for the stepfather, and share the bag for the uncle, stepmother's sister and her girl's house, the stepfather cried, but the stepmother was happy, and even the stepmother's girl was able to invite Dapeng to her house for dinner.

The stepmother's girl is called Liu Jiayi, who originally worked at the Municipal Ping Theater, but the Cultural Revolution canceled the Ping Opera, and she screened the movie in the Heilongjiang Cinema. She found a veteran, named Li **, who is the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the film machine factory, and they have been married for six years and have two children. Sister Jiayi saw Dapeng crying and enthusiastically persuaded, her brother-in-law went to the fish market to buy seafood for Dapeng, her younger brother was still in school and younger than Dapeng, and the family took Dapeng as a relative to feel the warmth of home, perhaps it was related to the love of neighbors and uncles' families.

In order for his stepfather Dapeng to endure humiliation, and for his stepfather Dapeng to do things psychologically for his stepmother, not only what Dapeng needs at home is rushing to buy, but what work Dapeng is rushing to do at home. Although his mother is no longer alive, he has been growing up there for more than ten years after all, and how much he wants to treat his stepfather's house in the South Railway Bureau as his mother's home where his mother is still alive! The neighbors' uncles and aunts are also happy and happy. The stepfather dreamed at night, but he hugged Dapeng and cried from time to time, and even cried with remorse.

I still remember when I was a child, I went to the railway lumber mill to deliver food to my stepfather, and Dapeng was knocked down by the sleeper in the middle of the train track, and his lips were stuck in the middle of the sleeper, and the horizontal iron hurt his teeth. I still remember when I was 13 years old, my father took him to visit relatives in his hometown of Gaobeidian, Hebei Province, and got off at Qianmen Station in Beijing to visit the zoo.

I still remember going to the train station to pick up my father, because I was riding a bicycle too fast, I dodged each other with the cyclist on the opposite side of the wide cement road under the street lamp and finally collided.

I still remember that I was not only a young pioneer and squadron leader, but also a five-good student, on the way home to a classmate in another class but his face was scratched by a blade, when he came home, his father saw that his face was covered with blood, and his father took him to the row of buildings left in small Japan, and found the classmate and his parents to reason. Although his father is a stepfather and has no culture and a short temper, he and his grandfather love you Jia like neighbors and aunts.

Seeing the crooked neck tree playing on the side of the road, seeing the dirty blisters that I had bathed in my childhood, seeing the canna and old man music that my mother had planted in the small garden in front of the window, especially the creepers covering the courtyard wall, and seeing the friends of the same age playing in the neighborhood have a harmonious and happy home, Dapeng's tears kept flowing like spring water.

He didn't dare to go to his alma mater, he didn't dare to see his classmates, because he missed his mother, he had to secretly run to the railway hospital, sit on the patient's bench in the corridor, recall the scene of his childhood often coming to play, recall the days when his mother worked in the hospital before her death, that conspicuous honor roll, and never see his mother again.

The second aunt has passed away, and the uncle-in-law is an old conductor in the train depot, and he found an aunt who is 16 years younger than him, because she is from the countryside and has no food supply in the city. The eldest cousin Feng Ming works in the vehicle factory, and his family lives in the East Bureau Mansion and has a complete home, which is also where Dapeng and his brother and sister-in-law once lived.

It's a pity that the second cousin Fengshan drowned, and Dapeng grew up with Brother Fengshan since he was a child, and he has a deep brotherly relationship. Brother Fengshan, whose mother died of illness, gave him financial support, and later he joined the army from the factory and joined the party, and changed his career to serve as a captain in the railway fire brigade. But his marriage was not harmonious, this day because of trivial things husband and wife quarreled a few words, he did not eat breakfast with gas to take a bath, he went to play childhood in the big Buddha temple of the puddle, he fell down and never came up, lost his precious life and career.

Aunt Dapeng's family has not worked except for Feng Xiamei, and her cousins Zhimin, Zhiguo, and Zhijie have already gone to work. Zhimin also brought Dapeng to the rubber factory to write ** poems and quotations for their cultural palace. Xia Mei is only two years younger than Dapeng, he is the only sister at home, but she grew up with Dapeng since she was a child, and she is a brother and sister, although her mother has passed away, many years of separation, there is a long-term reunion between each other.

The uncle-in-law went to the sports car again and was not at home, Xia Mei and Xiao Second Aunt made four dishes for Dapeng, they always gave Dapeng eggs, at that time each person only had two taels of oil a month, Xiao Second Aunt had no household registration and food supply, Dapeng choked and cried, Xiao Second Aunt and Xia Mei persuaded. The girl from the Na family came to invite her to watch a movie, but Dapeng didn't dare to go to the Cultural Palace again, nor did she dare to go to the Juvenile Cultural Room, let alone face her old classmates.

On the day when Dapeng returned to the corps, because it was a train in the middle of the night, he and Xia Mei said that they would take the train to the South Railway Station in the afternoon and pass by the door, Xia Mei took Aunt Wang and Aunt Fu's family to run to the Mercedes-Benz train, and chased after Dapeng standing at the train door, Dapeng threw a letter to them, which was written to relatives in the waiting room:

In the past days, I was tired and distressed by everything, and I thought about the joy of life, and the joy was not like this, how sad...... The Qiqihar of my life, my lovely hometown, I really don't want to leave it, and the regretful past has forced me to leave it, and the changes have become even more terrible in the days after my parting, and I have fallen into a forgotten person by society. Looking back on this visit, you are the relatives I will always miss. The spark of youth, the warm family affection, harmony is the happiness of life, thank you for inspiring my yearning for life, I wish you eternal health, and I will come to visit you again next year. Good bye!

When Dapeng threw the letter off the train, Feng Xiamei and a few girls from the neighborhood chased after him, and the police officer on the train didn't know what was going on, and watched curiously with another train doorman.

The annual family leave was supposed to go to Datong, Shanxi, because it was my brother and sister-in-law who moved Dapeng's hukou to the house of the East Railway Bureau, and they had already fled to Shanxi like a refuge, and Dapeng's hukou must also be in Shanxi. After all, the stepfather not only has guilt for his mother for Dapeng, but also has father-son affection for Dapeng, forgetting the contradictions that can not be recalled in the past! Under the persuasion of Dapeng's efforts, the stepfather also issued a valuable letter for his brother to go to the personnel department of the railway real estate section to visit relatives.
