10. Take the train into town

"Of course it's true, stinky boy, when did I lie to you." Dad Wang smiled.

His spine was injured by a black bear, and since then he has been sick and unable to do heavy work - in the countryside, no matter what the reason, as long as a man can't do heavy work, it is very looked down upon.

It's much better in the city, after all, some jobs in the city are made by mental work, but in the countryside in 1986, you can't make money by mental work.

Wang's father was very happy to see his son hunting bears, and he had the illusion of "his son avenging his father".

"When will you get a shotgun?"

"This is something that can't be rushed."

"Okay then."

It was getting late, and he had to go to the county seat tomorrow to sell bear bile and bear paws, so after Wang Yuan said a few words to his parents, he went back to sleep in the westernmost room.

"Meow~"

The fat big white cat was lying on the kang with its paws, but when it saw Wang Yuan walking towards the West House, he hurriedly jumped off the kang with a soft scream, and ran to the West House~ with him.

Wang Yuan entered the West House, and he could faintly hear the conversation of his parents.

Mother Wang said to Wang's father angrily: "Why do you agree to Xiaoyuan hunting, what a dangerous animal a bear is, how many hunters have been killed by bears, and even the corpses have been gnawed in the end."

"Xiaoyuan wants to hunt, can't you see it?"

"That's it?"

"In addition to this reason, I am also thinking about when I will really go to war, now I am hunting and practicing marksmanship, and when I really fight, I can play a better role in the guerrillas and be able to protect myself." Father Wang's voice slowly weakened.

Westinghouse.

Wang Yuan made the bed, and then sat on the edge of the kang to "squeeze" the fleas for the big white cat.

Hulahula~

Outside the window, the newspaper that pasted the cracks in the window seemed to have its horns upturned and made a hula and hula sound in the cold wind.

"War?"

Wang Yuan heard Father Wang's words, and was slightly silent in an instant:

"In 1986, the Northeast was facing tremendous pressure from the north, and Lindu was the north of the Northeast, with a national border, and it would bear the brunt of the fight."

People in later generations know that there was no fight back then, but people in this era don't know.

"What a stupid cat, do you know why you raised you? It's because you let the little girl be your companion, but what are you doing with me every day? The fleas on your body bite me every day. ”

Wang Yuan stroked the cat, snap~ and squeezed a flea to death.

The little black flea runs very fast in the cat's hair, so he doesn't catch fleas, but looks for fleas by tuaning at the cat's hair.

After finding it, press the cat hair, "press" the flea with the cat hair, and then gently squeeze it with the fingernails of the two thumbs, and with a crisp sound, the flea was squeezed.

"Meow~"

"Don't move, look~ This flea has run away, right? I really want to beat you up. ”

Then.

Wang's mother's voice came from the east room: "Xiaoyuan, quickly pull the lamp and sleep, don't catch fleas, the electricity bill is very expensive."

"Oh, okay."

Wang Yuan no longer cared about the big white cat, but lay on the kang, stretched out his hand to pull the lamp rope under the edge of the kang, snap~ The electric light went out, and the filament was still slightly red.

Listening to the whirring wind outside, Wang Yuan soon fell asleep beautifully.

……

Following.

After Wang Yuan got up, he found that his eldest sister Wang Qing was washing blueberries in the outhouse, and the little girl Wang Xiaodie was squatting next to her, with a little greedy cat expression on her face.

There was heat in the pot, and there was still an unburned ember in the stove, but my parents were not in the house.

"Second brother, are you awake?" After seeing Wang Yuan, the little girl immediately shouted in a milky voice.

"Well, what about Mom and Dad?"

Then.

Wang's father and Wang's mother walked in from outside, and there were voices talking.

After Dad Wang entered the house, he said with a smile: "I have already asked the village chief to open a letter of introduction...... There is a forest iron going to the city, just so let's take the train to the city, it's too late to eat, let's go. ”

With a few hot cakes in his arms, Wang Yuan went out with Wang's father, and after meeting the second uncle, the third uncle, Wang Meng and Wang Hu, 6 people rode three 28 bicycles to the station.

The early morning wind was a little cool, and sitting in the back seat, Wang Yuan couldn't help but put his hands in his sleeves.

In the Northeast in 1986, spring and autumn were very short, and after summer it would soon enter winter, Wang Yuan looked at the gloomy sky, and he felt like it was going to snow.

The small station is small, with a lot of grass growing nearby, and there is an abandoned locomotive not far away.

There was a black tin train about to leave, and Wang's father said hello to a man wearing a hat, and then he and Wang Yuan, the second uncle, the third uncle and others carried bicycles on the train.

The carriage seemed to be for the forest farm to carry goods, it was roofed, and it was empty on the way back, so the villagers of the forest farm and nearby villages were allowed to ride, of course, with acquaintances.

There were already more than a dozen villagers in the carriage, most of them carrying burdens and baskets, some of them brought their own small benches, and most of them sat on the ground, taking out large cigarette pouches from their waists and chatting with others.

It was smoky and a little choking.

Wang Yuan saw it very novelly.

Crash~

When the doors closed, it was dark in the compartment, only the smoke pot was faintly shining, and occasionally someone struck a match to light the cigarette bag pot, which illuminated a small area in an instant.

Taking down the fertilizer bag from the clamp on the back seat of the bicycle, Wang Yuan, Wang Meng and Wang Hu sat on the left bag, and on the right bag sat the three brothers of Wang's father and brothers.

"Brother, we have a letter of introduction, so why do you still have this piece of paper?" Wang Hu asked, sitting on the left, holding a small plastic card.

Wang Yuan's face was black: "That's an ID card, don't lose it."

"Oh, I know, it's going to cost you a reprint...... The writing on it is so ugly, 7 in 1967 looks like 1. Wang Hu said in disgust.

They still use the first generation of ID cards, and they are more special among them - handwritten, single-page card type, mylar plastic encapsulated.

Wang Yuan knew that this kind of ID card was easy to forge, and some bold people would indeed ......

Before they didn't have ID cards, people had to have a "letter of introduction" from their unit or village when they traveled, otherwise they were blind and criminal, and they generally didn't end up very well after being caught - either they would be repatriated after paying the money, or they would be re-educated through labor.

In the first few years after having an ID card, it is best to open a letter of introduction when you go out, because many places only recognize letters of introduction and do not recognize ID cards.

Take out the vegetable cake and share it with his family, and he will be very happy to have vegetable cake to eat.

"And besidesβ€”"

The black-skinned train transporting wood started, and it was very bumpy, and when he arrived at the freight station in the suburbs, Wang Yuan's ass was about to be broken into eight petals.

Leaving the cargo terminal, six people rode three bicycles towards the city.

"It's a city, it's prosperous." The second uncle said with a smile while pedaling.

"Yes, hey~ There are four "guis" hanging in that state-run restaurant, hey, it's so high-end, and the bear bile is sold for money, let's go there for a meal, right? The third uncle smiled.

"Don't go!"

Father Wang smiled: "Is that place where we rural people go?" Isn't it worth the sky-high price of a meal? ”
