Chapter 6: The Dispute Between Mother and Father

In that special era of political struggle, Dapeng, as a true or false educated youth, could only obey orders, because when he was with the counter-revolutionaries of the employed workers, even if he was greedy for marriage, he had to confess to the leaders for the sake of prudence, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

In addition to the eight employed workers of the large convoy, Lao Chitou and Cai Baozhi were with their families, and they lived in the room in front of the hospital on the east side of the road, which was separated by the Ministry of Food and the big cooperative, and then in the two bakeries on the road leading to the regimental headquarters, which are now converted into dormitories for the workers of the large convoy. From the small corridor into the north and south of the house opposite two kang, the north kang to the west of the two old workers of the repair shop asleep, in the middle is the old Lei Tou with the car, the car owner Yuan Mengli, close to the east gate asleep to feed the cow old Li Tou. At the west end of Nankang is Wang Xingquan with a 9-year-old child, and in the middle is Zhang Jincheng, an old worker who delivers water, Zhang Dapeng is lying on the east end of Nankang pondering, and Yaqin's private date has been two nights, who should I talk about this lifelong event?

The third day went well. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Zhao came to the dormitory, his name was Zhao Xuelu, he was a substitute cadre in the office of the organ, not only did he have a family living in the family area across the road from the dormitory, he was also a person in his early 50s, and he was also a leading cadre of an organ. After he finished his assignment and started to go home and walk on the road, Dapeng caught up and told Yaqin about his two-night date.

Captain Zhao said happily: "This is great, as long as the two of you agree, no one can interfere, you let her take out the household registration book and register and I will find you a house, you remember, don't let her uncle know, hurry up and do it in case you have too many dreams at night." ”

When night fell, Dapeng came to the kindergarten excitedly with the piano, and Yaqin sat on the rocker and waited. I don't know why she handed over three photos, one was taken by her sister and her mother when she was a child, one was her new photo, and the other was her uncle Cai Baozhi, which can be regarded as her family photo. But Dapeng only left Yaqin's one, took out his photo and handed her the two that he didn't want to keep.

"Did you mention anything about us to your mother?" Dapeng asked.

"I mentioned it, but my mother didn't say anything, and she knew that we met tonight but didn't stop it." Yaqin replied.

Dapeng talked about his past with some relief, and Yaqin listened quietly.

"We are three railway workers' homes, there are 12 free tickets every year by train, and I have to take the train to visit my uncle and grandfather at my second uncle's house during the winter and summer vacations. I spent the Spring Festival in '57 at Brother Li's house, his three children were only a few years younger than me, and every night my sister-in-law told some stories about demons and monsters, so scared that I didn't dare to sleep. The eldest brother served as the accountant in the township, and several people played cards in the office during the Spring Festival. My sister-in-law filled a small cannon in the cigarette and told me to go to the office to give it to my brother-in-law Wang, and I complied. As soon as Brother-in-law Wang's cigarette left his mouth, there was a "pop!", and everyone in the room was frightened, chasing and beating me. I still remember that day when the wolf entered the sheepfold and bit seven sheep to death, the eldest brother asked me to go home and ask my sister-in-law for millet and vermicelli.

When we parted, my sister-in-law made me a new dress, and my eldest brother's grandparents waved goodbye with tears in their eyes.

When I got home, my brother and sister-in-law were married, and my second sister-in-law asked me to throw a small whip into the new house. The mother said, "Sister-in-law can't joke." "I never dared to joke with my sister-in-law again.

In the second year, my sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat child and named her Yanbo, and the Rui family was very happy to have a stepmother, but she still changed her surname to Zhang with her brother. Although he hated his sister-in-law for not going to college for marriage, he still gave his building to his brother to live in, and arranged for his brother to work in the technical inspection department of the vehicle factory.

My mother was hospitalized five times in three years, and at first she was gradually swollen with hepatitis all over her body, pressing a pit on her legs, arms, and body, and her face was not only swollen but sometimes shaking her head, and she was already an old lady who was riddled with illness. Since my mother was hospitalized, Guo Ruiping often asked me to study at her home, and her mother was a school teacher who helped me wash my clothes and mend my pants.

The Soviet delegation visited the school, and at the welcome party, Guo Ruiping was the interpreter, and I was envious and determined to learn Russian well, especially when my mother said that my grandfather and father could speak more Chinese as translators, and from my young heart there were ideals of admiration. I was pulling a note in the carpentry room outside the school, and the teacher called me over, and a Soviet man put a commemorative badge on me and took a photo. Guo Ruiping was the only one in the whole school to visit and study in Moscow, so why couldn't I go? For this reason, I also specially found a class teacher and a teaching director, but the Municipal Education Bureau only approved Guo Ruiping, and I could no longer sneak away to Moscow like a summer camp.

In 59, our class was not only admitted to the railway middle school, but also entered the middle school without being separated in the same class. Gui Wenli, who had just graduated from high school, was our homeroom teacher, and she told us a story in the first class: "There was a scientist in the Soviet Union, and he was also a world-famous mathematical genius. In a conversion of celestial meteors, he found that one day after 20 years, the planet was about to collide with the earth, and he felt inferior because he could not save mankind, and finally committed suicide. The police read his will, invited a world-class scientist to convert it, and found that he was misplaced in the calcimal point in the calculation, corrected and calculated, due to the displacement of the earth's trajectory in 20 years, it could not collide with the planet at all, and because of a momentary mistake, it took the life of the world's scientists, so the students must not be sloppy in mathematics class. ”

I concentrate on mathematics and sports, and I lead four students to participate in the apprenticeship of the Xinma Road Martial Arts Hall in the name of the sports committee, and I love Russian even more, and I serve as a representative of the Russian language class, and often correspond with the students of Moscow No. 21 Middle School: "picmaootdpyga".

During the 60 years of natural disasters, the whole country was starving, and my mother's illness turned into cirrhosis and she was hospitalized again. She saved food for me and asked me to see my grandmother and brother-in-law in the hospital, but she still died of tuberculosis, but I didn't dare to tell my mother that I took three or five days off to take care of her in the hospital, but I missed my studies.

Only that time, I was having dinner at home, and Guo Ruiping came to make up for the class, so I bolted the door to avoid anyone disturbing. Guo Ruiping just finished the homework, and we were silent and wrote our own words, "When! When!" someone knocked on the door, pulled open the door and inserted his aunt Fengshan into the house and walked around, although he didn't say anything, he walked away with a mocking smile on his face. I shouldn't have asked a few boys in the neighborhood to send Guo Ruiping home, we were walking in front, they were coaxing in the back, for the sake of personal face, but I didn't care about her feelings. Despite this, I came home and saw that the playing card read: Zhang Dapeng, I love you, this is obviously the font of the second uncle, they are deliberately teasing me.

Guo Ruiping's parents were beaten into the rightists and were going to be sent to the Nehe countryside, and at the farewell meeting of Guo Ruiping's classmates in the classroom, Teacher Gui and his classmates cried. Our class was admitted to middle school from the first grade of primary school, and only Guo Ruiping was sent to the school like half a teacher. I remembered that the whole school went to Gannan to volunteer for a month, and Guo Ruiping gave me an extra pound when I changed the food stamps, why didn't I return it to her? Later, she cried so much, I didn't dare to return it to her? Now she is leaving, and she reluctantly writes a letter of apology, and still doesn't dare to give her the photo, and we say goodbye forever.

The mother's illness became more and more serious, and only the second aunt came to visit, and the stepfather was still stationed in Jiagedaqi and ignored it. My mother asked me to go to the City Review Troupe as a student, but it was already full, and if I went to the nearby martial arts hall to find a master to help, he would definitely take care of the special recruitment if he knew the leaders of the hospital, but I didn't do that for the sake of my studies.

My brother was working in the workshop with a fever in his ears, and he rushed to the hospital after work. My mother was unconscious, her big swollen belly was deflated, and her whole body was covered with skin and bones. Until one o'clock in the evening, my mother only exhaled and rarely inhaled, and suddenly passed away without a mouthful of phlegm. When she was dying, she opened one eye and breathed at me, because she was not at ease! The nurse asked the doorman Uncle Wang to help her change clothes, and carried her mother into the morgue, where there was another world, and there were several blind streams of naked corpses, and she put down the stretcher by an old lady in full costume.

When I returned to the office, the nurse asked my brother, "What will your brother do in the future?"

The elder brother replied endlessly: "Of course I raised him, I want him to go to college, Xiaopeng, we are brothers, I won't hurt you, how did my stepfather beat and scolded our mother? He is now forty-eight years old, what if you find a stepmother with a child? Your sister-in-law is a high school student who can help you with culture, and I can also teach you to learn the piano, or go to our house......." Tomorrow I will send a telegram to the old man, asking him to come back for the funeral, go, I will take you home and we will discuss ...... again. "I had to come to my sister-in-law's house obediently.

At the opening class meeting after the Spring Festival, the teacher saw me and asked with Hei Xiaobu in confusion: I stood up and explained that my mother had passed away, and my brother and sister-in-law asked me to ask for a transfer school. Teacher Gui took me to the principal to explain the situation, and the director of education was also present, and he said earnestly: "Zhang Dapeng, the school has a rule, as long as you apply for a transfer permit, you will not be accepted if you want to transfer back to the school, you must think clearly." ”

I had to explain: "Because my stepfather works in other places, only my brother and sister-in-law can take care of my studies and life. ”

Of course, my brother and sister-in-law taught me this, and the school issued a transfer certificate for me.

When I returned to the downstairs where my brother and sister-in-law lived, they were moving things to the house, weren't they all pulled from the car of the South Bureau's house? What cabinets, kang piano cabinets, futons, large mirrors, large water tanks, bicycles, etc., except for the big rice pots and chopsticks, my brother and sister-in-law pulled almost all the furniture back by car, they lived on the second floor, and the house was full of things.

"Brother, I've already opened a transfer card, what's going on with these things?" I asked.

"You don't have to care, I have to fight a lawsuit with the old man, and your sister-in-law will take you to school tomorrow." The elder brother replied.

The next day, my sister-in-law helped me go through the enrollment procedures smoothly, and the school was just across the road from us, which was the No. 9 Middle School of Qiqihar Vehicle Factory. Teacher Fuyu of the second class of the second year arranged a seat for me, and I am no longer the representative of the sports committee and the Russian language class. The first lesson in Russian was the seventh lesson in the second volume, and I didn't have a book and couldn't understand it at all, so it was difficult for me to adapt to the environment.

After dinner, my brother said, "Tomorrow our mother will be funeral, the second aunt, uncle-in-law and the old man will also have to go, and your sister-in-law will go, you don't care about anything, listen to me when the time comes, don't be afraid." "Because it's my brother's words, I can only obey my orders.

Outside the mortuary of the railway hospital, my brother and sister-in-law and I knelt in front of our mother's spirit and wept. The second aunt, uncle-in-law, and aunt and sister all came, the stepfather commanded with a straight face, and the hospital leaders and medical staff organized a memorial service. When the hearse departed, my brother asked my sister-in-law to take me home in public, but he led the way in front of the hearse to the two halves of the tun, which is the cemetery. My mother only lived to be 47 years old when she came to this world, and her death caused a lifelong trauma to my studies, life, and future.

In order to retaliate against my stepfather, my brother looted the furniture and other furniture of the Nanju Mansion in advance, and transferred my household registration to his house, can my stepfather give up for this? They all have to fight for the family property and the pension given by the hospital to raise me, so I became the focus of my father's and brother's contention in court. I was not yet 15 years old at the time, so how could I face my father and brother, and how could I face the judge of the court?

All this comes from the contradictions of the family, and the so-called contradictions come from the struggle of interests. Their conflict ruined a small family, and also ruined my studies and life. And if the country is flooded, it will ruin the country and become the catastrophe of the Chinese nation.
