Young man, easy to communicate, although, Dongdong has not been here for a long time, but he already has a lot of friends.

At that time, each production team had a literary and artistic team, and when it was learned that Dongdong could play the flute and play a good erhu, the team leader invited Dongdong into the literary and artistic team on the basis that Dongdong was a 'young man who returned to his hometown with knowledge', focused on political performance, and belonged to the principle of 'children who can be educated well'.

The sky was full of stars, and the moon hung high in the trees. In a rehearsal room at the brigade headquarters, a group of young men and women are rehearsing various programs. Dongdong's song 'Purple Bamboo Tune' echoed in the night sky, coupled with his handsome figure, which made some girls ripple with the music, and also blew their faces.

The captain came in with a bag of things and said to everyone: "In a few days, I will participate in the art show, everyone has worked hard these days, after reporting to the team, the team is very supportive, in order to encourage everyone, tonight, everyone will send a vegetable bun." "Everyone 'wow' and jumped up with joy, at that time, one person had one vegetable bun, which was a great luxury.

The captain was the first to send it to Dongdong, and he said: "Don't rob it, it's okay, one for everyone, everyone has it." ”

A girl took a newspaper, reported the buns, stuffed them into Dongdong's hand, and said with a red face: "I don't like to eat, if you don't dislike it, take it back to your mother to eat." Dongdong stupidly didn't react yet, and another one came over......

Along the way, Dong Dongheng sang a passage of Yang Zhiyong in the revolutionary 'model play' "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"; Drink the celebration wine together today, and the ambition is not rewarded...... I went home happily, and when I got to the door, I shouted, "Mom, I'm back." ”

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Fang still sitting on a bamboo chair mending clothes, "Mom, you haven't slept yet?" Here, eat one, it's still hot. ”

Liu Fang opened the newspaper, looked at the still hot buns, and asked strangely: "Where did it come from, how many are there?" ”

Dongdong said: "It's hairy, one for each person, several girls don't like to eat, they all gave it to me, I took it back, it's a pity to waste it." ”

Liu Fang said with a smile: "It's rare to eat steamed buns for a while, who doesn't like to eat them?" You fool. Then he said, "Well, I heard that your father is now on the Red Star Farm, and I want to go and see him these days." ”

Dongdong pouted and said: "I want to go to you, I don't want to see him, haven't I been scolded enough for the counter-revolutionary 'bitch'?" ”

Liu Fang said angrily: "You kid, why do you talk like this? "There was an incomparably bitter feeling in my heart.

......

In the office of Dr. Chen Weimin of the First People's Hospital of Binhai City, Dr. Chen said loudly to Mao Dawei, who was sitting opposite him: "According to the laboratory report, you have acute hepatitis and need to be isolated for treatment. ”

Mao Wei smiled knowingly at Dr. Chen and whispered, "Thank you Dr. Chen for your advice." ”

......

In a small restaurant near the station of the '57 Cadre School', Li Ming and Mao Wei sat facing each other, with a plate of peanuts and a small bottle of clay roast on the table. Li Ming said: "Brother, thank you for coming to see me, after all, my colleague brother has been so many years, come, I respect you." The two of them drank it all at the same time. Then he said: "It's good to be here, three things a day, eating, working, sleeping, without any pressure, but also relaxed." Once a week, 'fighting private criticism', anyway, it's in the newspaper, just take a little time to copy it, 'a big copy of the world's articles', haha, who wouldn't? ”

Mao Wei said: "Your brother is relaxed, I don't feel easy, I have always had a pimple in my heart, at that time, the old director took my hand before he breathed and said, 'Wang, Wang Jin, yes, is it wronged, wronged', is it really wronged?" I was a little bus boy at the time, and I really didn't know anything, except that Wang Jin suddenly died in a car accident, and then he appeared again. ”

Li Ming asked strangely: "What, do you want to 'rehabilitate' him?" Now it is all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, 'it is difficult to protect themselves', and more things are better than less things. Li Ming's words sounded a little depressed.

Mao Wei said: "I always feel that Secretary Xiao was taking special care of me before he died, and I always feel that if I don't figure it out, I can't get over it in conscience and morality." ”

Li Ming picked up the wine glass and looked at Mao Wei, and said, "Are you really not afraid of being implicated?" Then I'll tell you honestly, anyway, there are a few times of information, and it was all passed on by him. Hey, don't you remember, at that time, everyone doubted the correctness of the intelligence, and Director Xiao mentioned many times that the intelligence was provided by internal comrades, and once, I went to get the topographic map of Xishan. ”

Mao Wei was inspired by Li Ming's words and seemed to see hope.

......

In an interrogation room in Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai, Mao Wei sat opposite Hu Mingkang, and Mao Wei asked: "Hu Mingkang, I hope you will seek truth from facts and introduce the process of your surrender at that time." ”

Hu Mingkang glanced at Mao Wei and said angrily: "Why doesn't your Communist Party's words count? Always backtracking. ”

Mao Wei smiled and said, "Why doesn't it count?" ”

Hu Mingkang asked, "Is there any smoke?" Mao Wei handed him a cigarette and lit a fire for him.

Hu Mingkang took a deep breath, sighed and said, "Isn't it yet? I was sincere at the beginning, and now you see, I'm locked up here again. It doesn't matter if you lock me up here, I'm getting older, but your credibility is gone. At that time, one of you surnamed Xiao was good, he spoke and counted. There is also a man surnamed Wang, who has the courage to impersonate me to enter the interior, and I still sweat for him. ”

In the end, Mao Wei said: "Oh, I see. It is precisely because we are realistic that we came to you to verify the situation, and I really thank you for your cooperation today. ”

......

The five-star labor camp is located on a small island, surrounded by wide lakes, which can only be crossed by ferry, and the farm is surrounded by barbed wire, and there is a People's Liberation Army sentry at a distance. When you get here, you can only accept the transformation honestly, and if you want to escape from here, it will be difficult to fly.

The ferrymen, two inmates who have completed their sentences, have a regular ferry every day to pick up and drop off the staff and their families who have come to visit. In order to prevent accidents and to check the identification of passers-by, there were also two armed PLA soldiers on the ferry.

A woman who looked like a peasant woman carried a bag, and when she walked with rice balls in her mouth, she came to the ferry, and handed one of the PLA a certificate stamped with the official seals of the brigade and the commune, and said: "Comrade, I want to go to the five-star farm." ”

The People's Liberation Army took it and let her get on the boat.

In a three-story office building, the correctional officer asked Liu Fang, "Who do you want to see?" ”

Liu Fang said sincerely: "Comrade, I want to see Wang Jin, I am his wife. ”

The correctional officer was stunned for a moment and said, "You are his wife?" And his materials never show a wife. ”

Liu Fang pleaded and said: "Comrade, this is true, I am his wife, I will not lie to you, here is the proof of the brigade and the commune." She handed the certificate to the correctional officer and continued: "Not only am I his wife, we have a 17-year-old son. ”

The correctional officer looked at the certificate and said, "Well, since you're here, I'll let you see it." But these days, he is inconvenient to move, a few days ago, he was working in the field of mines, accidentally, a stone hit his leg, and now he is tied with a plaster. ”

Hearing this, Liu Fang was anxious and hurriedly followed the correctional staff to the dormitory. This is a row of one-story bungalows, an outer corridor, one by one, and a washroom in the middle, Wang Jin lives, room 107, next door is the washroom, but it is also convenient.

When I got to the door, I could only hear the correctional officer shouting: "No. 203, someone has come to see you." ”

Hearing that someone came to see, Wang Jin moved his body and sat up reluctantly, he saw the correctional officer followed by Liu Fang, he was stunned at first, then slowly calmed down again, and said very indifferently: "What are you doing here?" I have nothing to do with you. ”

Hearing this, seeing Wang Jin lying on the bed, Liu Fang was full of grief, a good home, made it look like this, threw things into Wang Jin's bed, pointed at Wang Jin with a cry and said: "Wang Jin, you heartless, you have nothing to do with me, how can we still be Dongdong?" You're good at it, you're all over here. ”

When he heard Dongdong, he closed his eyes and looked helpless.

When the correctional officer saw this, he said, "It's hard to see you last time, don't make noise, talk about it, cherish it, I'll go out first." Then he said to Liu Fang: "After you are over, your guest list should be taken to the office for signing." So, he walked out the door.

Only Wang Jin and Liu Fang were left in the dormitory, and Liu Fang slowly sat on the edge of Wang Jin's bed in distress. wiped his tears, looked at Wang Jin's legs tied with plaster, and asked with concern: "How is the injury now, why are you so careless?" Then, he opened the cloth bag and said, "I brought you something to eat and bought you a piece of clothing, but I didn't bring more for fear that it wouldn't be allowed." Wang Jin was still speechless.

Liu Fang also said: "In the countryside, my son is not bad, he is used to life, he works every day, he can also endure hardships, every night, he also participates in the literary and artistic team of the brigade, and often reads books. Wang Jin seemed to have a sense of relief. Liu Fang continued: "I came this time, on the one hand, to see you, after all, husband and wife, and moreover, there is an important thing I want to ask you." ”

Wang Jin glanced at Liu Fang and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Fang said: "Do you know my mother's Wu at that time? ”

Wang Jin said: "You know, what's wrong? ”

Liu Fang said hesitantly: "She, she may be your own mother." ”

Wang Jin stared at Liu Fang and gradually fell into deep thought.

Then, Liu Fang told Wang Jin about chatting with Wu's mother, Liu Fang said: "That day, her old man brought a few eggs to my house, we chatted, I asked who else was in her house?" The scene of her chatting with Wu's mother has reappeared in the present: "Child, Wu's mother doesn't treat you as an outsider, and she is not afraid of your jokes when she says it." Liu Fang sat next to Wu's mother and held Wu's hand, listening to Wu's mother's account of her ups and downs: "At that time, my family was very poor, four brothers and sisters, I was the second, my parents couldn't support us, and at the age of 12, I was sold to a family in the suburbs of the coastal area as a child daughter-in-law. When I was 17 years old, I was still quite beautiful when I was young, but the man had polio since he was a child, and he was a paralyzed person, how could I accept it in my heart. At that time, there was a local gangster leader surnamed Song, who had to marry me, but the family had no choice, and I myself was unwilling, so a gangster leader was better than a paralyzed person. ”

Wu's mother continued: "I have two sons, but the old immortal spends all day outside drinking, and he got along with a play, and the play insisted that the old thing drove me out of the house, and sold the second child, I don't know where he is now." ”

Wu's mother said: "Later, I heard that the second child was sold to a boss who was in the silk business, also surnamed Wang. Since then, I have been a nanny in the east, a nanny in the west, and then in Secretary Ding's house, a few years ago, my nephew found me and brought me here. ”

......

After listening to Liu Fang's introduction, Wang Jin was also thoughtful. In fact, Song Boxiong also confirmed his identity at that time, but he didn't recognize this fact. Counting it, it has been more than 40 years since she left her biological mother, and she doesn't know what she is like, maybe she knows the characteristics of her body, if it is really her, her life is miserable enough. At this time, Wang Jin began to speak, "Then does she know about my existence?" ”

Liu Fang shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Wang Jin said: "Then you have the opportunity to ask him what characteristics I have." Suddenly, he remembered one thing again, at that time, in the Wang family, everyone treated him well, because he had no birth and raised, he regarded him as flesh and blood, and the grandmother of the Wang family was a perennial vegetarian Buddhist, and she liked Wang Jin even more. Wang Jin always carried a small silver unicorn with him when he was a child, and his grandmother kept telling him that this thing should not be lost, and he had to keep it with him to ensure safety, so he always carried it with him. Later, I was also vaguely aware of it, and I heard the adults next to me say that this thing was not from the Wang family, but was brought by the child when he picked it up. So, he took out a small unicorn from his pocket, handed it to Liu Fang, and said, "She doesn't recognize this thing." ”

Liu Fang said 'um', and then said: "I have an idea, I want to apply for 'medical parole' for you, 'execution outside of prison', so that our family can be reunited." ”

At this time, Wang Jin was like a child, desperately holding Liu Fang's hand, the so-called man didn't flick when he had tears, but he cried because he didn't get sad.

Liu Fang reluctantly let go of Wang Jin's hand and said, "I still have to catch the shuttle, you take care of yourself, don't worry, I will definitely get you out." So, Wang Jin looked helplessly at Liu Fang, who was going out......

Liu Fang went to the department to sign the guest list, and finally she said to the correctional officer: "I want to apply for 'medical parole' and 'execution outside prison' for him." ”

The correctional officer said politely: "Yes, his injuries are obvious, and he doesn't need a hospital certificate, we can prove it here, you just need to go to the local area and issue a 'acceptance' certificate." He himself is not good, he has always said that he has no other social relations, and he is probably afraid of implicating you. ”

Liu Fang thanked her and left the five-star farm.

......

When she got home, it was already dark, and Liu Fang saw her son sitting there with her mouth pouted, so she asked, "Didn't you go to the rehearsal tonight?" ”

Dongdong said angrily: "No, as soon as I go, it will be two days, Yao, my grandfather has a letter." ”

Liu Fang hurriedly opened the letter, only to see that it read: Ah Fang, my daughter, Dad misses you very much. According to the policy, I have been 'liberated', and due to my age and physical condition, I have not yet arranged a job. A few days ago, I finally received a letter from your mother saying that she would be back soon. Oh, a few days ago, your parents came to see me, and they couldn't tell me the specific address of your side, but they had already gone through the procedures for leaving and were ready to go back to their hometown to spend their old age. They are very worried about you, I really don't know how you have come over the past few years, you have to take care, take care of yourself, and Dongdong, you must humbly accept the re-education of the poor and middle peasants, and strive to train yourself to become a useful talent. Signed: Dad loves you

Liu Fang looked at the letter, I didn't know if it was excitement or what, tears couldn't help but come down, and they dripped onto the letterhead, she really wanted to pour all the bitterness of the past few years on this letterhead at once......

Dongdong said: "You haven't eaten yet, there is still porridge in the nest." ”

Liu Fang said: "I'm not hungry, I'll go to see Grandma Wu." With that, he went out the door.

......

This is a three-bay bungalow, there are two small wings in front of the scale, the countryside calls it 'Longxiao', a courtyard in the middle, planted a big osmanthus tree, every Mid-Autumn season, here ten miles of fragrance, the west wing is the kitchen, Wu Ma lives in the east wing.

Liu Fang knocked on the side door of the east wing twice, only to hear the question inside: "Who?" ”

Liu Fang said: "Mother Wu, it's me Liu Fang, have you slept?" ”

As soon as she heard that it was Liu Fang, Wu's mother got up on crutches to open the door, and her mouth was still saying, "Oh, Ah Fang, where have you been in the past two days, I haven't seen you." "Open the door and let Liu Fang enter the house.

Liu Fang sat down on a stool and said with a smile: "I went to the city once, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I came to see you as soon as I came back." ”

Wu's mother pouted and said, "This is it, this is it." So I was going to make tea for Liu Fang.

Liu Fang pulled Wu's mother and said, "Sit, don't be busy, I want to ask you something." ”

Wu's mother asked strangely, "Ask me something?" Say though, say it. ”

Liu Fang said: "Didn't you say that you have two sons, so where are they now?" ”

Wu's mother said: "Didn't I tell you, the big one has been with the old man, oh, I heard that the old man was shot not long after liberation, and he deserved it!" Deserve! The second child's name is Song Wei, and he was sold by that play. ”

Liu Fang asked again: "Then have you ever gone to look for him?" ”

Wu's mother said: "I'm a woman, where can I find it?" I heard that the dead ghost went to Nanxun to look for it, at that time, the soldiers were in chaos, and the Wang family was a businessman, so they ran everywhere and didn't find it. ”

Liu Fang asked again: "What's so special about the second child?" ”

Wu's mother smiled and said: "If you want to say special, this kid is really a little special, most children are born with 'birthmarks', all on the buttocks, just that kid on the left shoulder, very few." ”

Liu Fang let out an 'oh'. She remembered that she was lying on the bed with her husband, and Liu Fang pointed to the 'birthmark' on Wang Jin's shoulder and said: "You are a strange person, most of people's 'birthmarks' are on the buttocks, but you are the only one on the shoulder." ”

Wang Jin turned around and said, "What? Is there anything wrong with that? ”

Liu Fang said mischievously: "Rare things are expensive. ”

Wang Jin said proudly: "That's right, it's so rare for you to get it." ”

Liu Fangjiao dripped, "That's it." "I hugged my husband.

......

Liu Fang asked again: "Then do you want him?" ”

Wu's mother said helplessly: "I left his house, he was only 4 years old, he lost it was 5 years old, calculated, he should be 48 years old this year, that is, I haven't seen it for 44 years, hey, it's useless to think about it." She pulled up her shirt and wiped her eyes.

Liu Fang took out something from her arms, handed it to Wu's mother and said, "Wu's mother, take a look at this thing, have you seen it?" ”

Mother Wu took a look, a little unicorn, seeing things like seeing people, suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Liu Fang and asked in surprise: "Ah Fang, where did you get this thing?" She pointed to the number on the unicorn and said, "Look, this is his birth year, and I specially asked the craftsman to get it." ”

Liu Fang didn't say a word, hugged Wu's mother, burst into tears, and finally called out affectionately, "Mom, I am your daughter-in-law." ”

......
