"The unit has notified that at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will go to the park to participate in a mass rally!" As soon as Li Jianxin, a typist in the office of the Yunlian County Party Committee, stepped into the house, he hurriedly said to his wife Ning Aimei, who was lying on the bed and sitting in "confinement", "You are still in confinement, pay attention to your body, and I will go to the rally tomorrow morning." "I'm going too!" "The baby you gave birth to on September 3 is only 6 days old today, so you won't go to confinement?!" "I'm going to go!" Li Jianxin was stubborn, and said good-naturedly: "Okay, good." Since he got married in 1969, he has been holding her, accommodating her, and doting on her, probably because he is 9 years older than her.

At 8:30 a.m. on September 10, 1976, the black clouds over the park were overwhelming, there was no wind, the air was dull, thousands of people, white pressure pressed a piece, one after another poured into the empty dam in the center of the park, standing closely, meat to meat, like squeezing the bus, like dew on the lotus leaf, scattered and gathered, gathered as a mercury nest. Ning Aimei was wearing a white "really good" white shirt, supported by her husband, her face was white, her stomach was still a little painful, she stayed up, crowded into the crowd, next to a person wearing dragon scale clothes, and the crowd was mixed with crying and panic in the heat wave......

After the confinement, Ning Aimei and her husband discussed the name of the second baby and decided to name it Li Riqing, because the Gregorian calendar on the day of birth happened to be the anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the lunar calendar happened to be the same day as the National Day. Ning Aimei returned to work after maternity leave, Li Riqing used a lead typesetting printer every day, coded notices, and leaders' speeches, and the eldest was sent to the public Xinhua Street Kindergarten, and the second grandmother and aunt took turns to take it, changing hands, and sometimes saw Ning Aimei carrying the baby to work, and Li Riqing took the child after work, Ning Aimei made lunch, and the leftover meals at noon were hot in the evening. The salary of the two of them totaled 63 yuan a month, and Ning Aimei gave 10 yuan to her mother as filial piety expenses, 43 yuan for food, clothing, transportation, water and electricity, and entertainment for relatives and guests, saving 10 yuan a month, fortunately, the house was allocated by the county revolutionary committee, and no rent was given.

In a 40-square-meter tiled house, making rice in the early morning, Li Riqing took the fire hook to seal the stove that had been stuffy all night, smashed the coal with two hammers, added charcoal to the stove, and sometimes used a bamboo fan to fan the stove, breakfast was ready, "Yishao got up...... The day is up......" jumped out of his throat, sometimes Ning Aimei shouted, sometimes Li Jianxin shouted, through the thin and unsoundproof bamboo and earthen wall, the neighbors heard it, this is the 70s version of "Mo" in the 20th century

gCall", the day starts like this, year after year, the fireworks between the family.

In 1997, Li Jianxin went from typist to deputy secretary of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection and then to the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office. Li Yishao got married, and his younger brother Riqing taught for just half a year. At the end of the year, the whole family stayed by the television and watched the live broadcast of Hong Kong and Macao's return to the motherland.

Li Jianxin and Ning Aimei have been husband and wife for 34 years, and before he died, he wrote his memoir "A Hard Life", bidding farewell to this short and beautiful world, and the last sentence before leaving: "Yishao, save me ......" Li Jianxin can't let go of his eldest son, what can he do if he can't let go? Before he died, he told Yi Shao and Riqing: "There is a book in the corner of the old black cabinet with paint off at home, called "Suggestions", which was used in 1976 when I was attending a mass meeting in the park, and a man in silver-colored clothes standing next to me insisted on stuffing it in my pocket. ”......

Towards the west and twilight towards the east, life is like picking flowers and bees, waiting until a hundred flowers become honey, and then they will die. I sincerely know that everyone has this hatred, poor couples mourn everything, it is going to rain, let him go! Ning Aimei later found an old wife to live in her old age.

A few years later, when cleaning up before the Spring Festival, Li Riqing took out a manuscript of "Suggestions and Words" in the old black cabinet with paint off, Author: Tianlong, and casually browsed a few pages: "Is the speed of light really the fastest?" What is faster than the speed of light? Are all lights in the universe straight lines? Is this really the case with the Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and the universe that we see on Earth? What exactly is dark matter? What are people made of? Does the universe have boundaries? What exactly is human feeling made of? The earth has three poles, is there a fourth pole? Did humans really evolve from monkeys? Is everything human beings say or do about sex? What exactly is sex? What is Thick Black Studies? ......

The son went to Shanghai to pursue his dream and start a new chapter, and the young couple also started a new life mode.

The calendar turned to September 3, 2022, Li Riqing watched the live video of the opening ceremony of Fudan University's freshmen, night suddenly fell, Su Hui went out for a walk, accompanied by the continuous sound of the new crown epidemic prevention and control propaganda horn outside the window that he had been accustomed to for more than 2 years, Riqing watched "The World's Most Amazing 24 Lessons" for the third time, and dozed off when he looked at it, and actually had a small dream, his conscious mind took a temporary nap, and his subconscious began to take over the activity, and his consciousness entered the multi-dimensional world of 24 classes through the solar plexus in his stomach......
