Chapter 1 Returning Home I
This is a street fighting work written by a street writer, a big guy with rich knowledge and rich life experience.
Wang Weidong jumped out of the car with his packed luggage, and he stood at the station and looked out at the rows of family rooms and the red residential buildings in the distance. This is where he grew up - Xiangyang Chemical Factory.
"Two bastards! Et! β
Someone was shouting Wang Weidong's name.
When Wang Weidong turned his head to look, a permanent 28 bicycle stopped beside him, and a young man in oil-stained overalls was grinning at him.
"Brother Liang, are you off work?" Wang Weidong greeted with a smile.
The young man who spoke to Wang Weidong was called Kong Deliang, five or six years older than Wang Weidong, and was a worker at the Xiangyang Chemical Factory.
Kong Deliang looked at Wang Weidong's luggage on the ground and asked, "The luggage has been brought back, are you completely back from the educated youth point?" β
"Yes, it's been almost two years, and I'm the only one left in the entire educated youth point, and the secretary of the brigade talks to me every night, and the meaning of the words is to let me get out of here! If it weren't for my parents' desire for me to make a big difference in the world, I would have come back a long time ago. Don't let go of the urban hukou, isn't it sick to earn work in the ditch every day? Wang Weidong replied.
Kong Deliang nodded very understandingly and said: "It's the right time for you to come back now, now the country has a new policy, and if the parents are old enough to retire, the children can take over!"
Speaking of this, Kong Deliang suddenly felt that he had talked too much, because Wang Weidong also had an eldest brother, who was still a temporary worker in the factory and had no formal job. Now that the news of succession in the factory has spread, many families have brothers and sisters who are turning against each other.
Don't because of his talk, Wang Weidong went home and fought with his eldest brother.
But Kong Deliang was surprised to find that Wang Weidong's face was calm, as if he didn't pay attention to this good policy related to his fate.
Reborn into this world, Wang Weidong was not happy about this matter, and he did not want to take over in his heart.
"It's inconvenient to walk with so many things, I'll take you home on a bicycle!" Kong Deliang said.
"Then I'm bothering you." Wang Weidong said unceremoniously.
Kong Deliang got on the bicycle, and Wang Weidong sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding the top of the luggage with both hands and hooking the bottom of the luggage with his toes.
Kong Deliang pedaled his bicycle hard and went to the family building where Wang Weidong's parents lived.
Dozens of red-brick and red-tiled family buildings were built in the early 50s when the Soviet Union aided the construction of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, and they were originally assigned to Wang Weidong's grandfather; after Wang Weidong's grandfather died the year before last, Wang Weidong's parents and eldest brother moved here from the house assigned to them, and the house allocated to them was taken back by the unit and distributed to other workers.
The family building is completely built in the Soviet style, tall and spacious, better than the family building built in the seventies and eighties.
Wang Weidong, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, looked at Kong Deliang's back and remembered an important thing.
According to the memories of his previous life in his head, a year later, in 1980, Kong Deliang died.
Kong Deliang and Fang Yanmei, the girl in the workshop, secretly fell in love, but when the two of them had a showdown with their parents and wanted to get married, they were resolutely opposed by both parents, and Wang Weidong didn't remember the specific reason.
In the 70s, parents had the right to decide on the marriage of their children, and it could even be said that they were the best of their word. I said okay, if I don't want to, I have to be willing, if I say no, I can't, immediately beat the mandarin duck!
Although the parents of both sides are resolutely opposed, the two young people are so in love that they are inseparable. In the end, I couldn't think of drinking pesticides together, and was found to be urgently sent to the hospital for rescue, Kong Deliang came back to life, but Fang Yanmei died.
The whole family stared at Kong Deliang twenty-four hours a day, and kept persuading him, but Kong Deliang just looked at the ceiling with his eyes open and didn't say a word. On the twelfth day, the family's guards were a little lax, and Kong Deliang ran out of the house and disappeared.
Two days later, Kong Deliang's body was found in the river five miles away, and his mother was lying on the ground rolling and crying.
The loudspeaker on the telephone pole on the side of the road suddenly clicked twice, and then the music started.
"The spring tinkling, the spring tinkling, the spring tinkling
Jumped off the hill and flowed across the meadow to meβ"
The songs that have been released over the years have been sonorous and powerful revolutionary songs, so this soothing and melodious spring water tinkling was very popular as soon as it was released, and it is now played every day when the Xiangyang Chemical Plant broadcasts the radio.
"Comrades of employees and their families, now broadcast the news of Xiangyang Chemical Plant. In response to the call of the party and the country, each workshop fought in May, and the production successes were frequently reported! βββ
On the radio, the female announcer tried to broadcast the factory news in a sonorous voice.
"Brother Deliang, do you have a partner now?" Wang Weidong asked.
Hearing Wang Weidong's question, the honest Kong Deliang panicked and did not stabilize the handlebar of the bicycle, and the bicycle painted a dragon as if he was drunk.
"Don't talk nonsense! How could I do such a thing! Kong Deliang said with a flushed face.
In this era, falling in love is like being a thief, which cannot be admitted! Even if you sit on the tiger chair and pour chili water, you can't admit it!
Stabilizing the bicycle and his mind, Kong Deliang said to Wang Weidong with a smile in order to divert the target: "You kid is only seventeen or eighteen now, why is your mind full of petty-bourgeois thoughts!" β
"Seventeen or eighteen is not young, my grandfather has already started a family at the age of seventeen! When I come back this time, I should also think about my life's events, there are so many girls in the factory, I have to pick and choose! Wang Weidong said.
"Let's solve the problem of work first, without a job, which girl can take a fancy to you!" Kong Deliang said.
"Which girl? I think Sister Yanmei is good! Good heart, good temper, and family! Wang Weidong said.
The bike suddenly tilted and was about to fall, and the two people on the bike jumped off in a hurry.
Kong Deliang realized that he had lost his temper after holding the bicycle, and he immediately pretended to be serious and said to Wang Weidong: "Fang Yanmei is three years older than you!" What do you think of a little brat? Besides, I heard that Fang Yanmei has a partner, don't mess around! β
People in this era are still very easy to deceive, and Wang Weidong's few words made Kong Deliang's heart furious.
"There are several people named Yanmei in our factory, why do you just think of Fang Yanmei? Besides, what's wrong with the object, it's a big deal that I'll pry Sister Yanmei over! Wang Weidong said.
In the seventies, how much more shameless people would say that they want to pry someone else's object?
Kong Deliang looked at Wang Weidong blankly, and for a long time he turned the head of the car and pointed at Wang Weidong hatefully and said: "Second bastard, you don't even have a positive shape, you just hang like this!" β
After speaking, Kong Deliang got on the bicycle and left.
