Chapter 5 Tiger Father Dog Son

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, woo~"

When Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu came back after paying the treatment fee, they happened to see Li Wang's kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Dr. Wang without crying, and her eldest son Li Guoqing was kneeling beside him.

The two of them looked at each other silently, and they were silently relieved.

If it is really a dead person, not to mention what will happen to the Jia Zhang clan who killed someone, the reputation of this compound will be completely stinky on the streets in the future.

Dr. Wang has been a doctor for many years, and he has never experienced any scenes, so Li Wang, who helped up the ground, said with relief: "This is your child's life, as the old saying goes, 'If you don't die, you will have a blessing', stew more bone broth for the child." ”

Yi Zhonghai first stepped forward and said a lot of praise to Dr. Wang for his wonderful rejuvenation and Hua Tuo's survival, and then patted Guoqing's shoulder.

"National Day, quickly help your mother to the side and sit down, since the third boy is okay this time, the adults can't cry anymore."

Ignoring Li Guoqing's unfriendly gaze, Qin Huairu sat on the wooden stool placed against the wall with Li Wang's arms, and cried: "Auntie, I was really scared just now, I was afraid that the third boy would really do what I would do if something happened." Not only do I have no face to see you, but I also don't have the face to stay in the courtyard anymore, so I can only lead the three children back to my parents' house to beg for life, woo~"

Qin Huairu's words were sincere, and it also touched Li Wang, who had a similar experience, when her husband died, she had no financial ability to think about leading her three children back to her hometown in Shanxi.

Li Wang wiped his tears and calmed down, and patted the back of Qin Huairu's hand: "Huairu, I don't blame you for this matter, didn't the doctor just say that the three boys are out of danger, don't cry soon." ”

Li Wang's family did not mention Jia Zhang's family, for that person, she hated and resented ten thousand people from the bottom of her heart, and she would never forgive the other party.

But this pretty widow in front of her, who cried like a tearful person, Li Wang liked it from the bottom of his heart.

Not only is he good-looking, but he is also a good hand at housework.

The character and appearance are all counted in the nearby alleys.

After the death of the only son of the Jia family last year, the Li Wang family also thought about matching the pretty widow with their eldest son, but now that the two families have this kind of affair, it is difficult to get back into contact even if they are not enemies, and the Li Wang family has no such thoughts now.

"National Day, you take the 20 yuan, it is a little bit of the uncle's heart, and when you go back, you can buy some canned food for the three boys." Yi Zhonghai walked to Li Guoqing's side, took out the two large unity sheets that he had prepared at home from his trouser pocket, and handed them over.

"Uncle Yi, I, I, alas!"

Li Guoqing looked at the two big solidarities in Yi Zhonghai's hands with red eyes, he hadn't been so uncomfortable for a long time.

Li Guoqing felt that the turbidity in his chest had not been spit out before it came, and now this turbidity was running around in his body, making him uncomfortable.

Li Guoqing seemed to shout loudly, shouting out all the grievances he had suffered in the past ten years, and shouting out the helplessness and sadness in his heart every night in the past ten years.

Li Guoqing used to be an old revolutionary born in the red Miaozheng, and his father Li Hongwu joined the Red Army in Yan'an very early.

That's a nineteenth-level cadre in the army, with a monthly salary of 80 yuan.

His father followed the army to fight in the south and the north for more than ten years, and Li Guoqing's impression of his father was very vague in his childhood.

After the war was won, the fourteen-year-old Li Guoqing followed Li Wang's family from his hometown of Xinjiang County in the old Shanxi Province to the capital, which was also the first time he saw his half-life father when he grew up.

In Li Guoqing's impression, his father Li Hongwu has a rickety body, thick palms, a square face full of wrinkles, and a mouthful of yellow teeth when he smiles.

He doesn't look like a people's soldier at all, but like a peasant in his hometown in Shanxi Province with his back to the loess.

Li Guoqing has been naughty since he was a child, and he doesn't like to study, so he finally survived until he graduated from junior high school, and seeing that his children really didn't want to go to work in the factory, Li Hongwu simply sent him to enlist in the army and become a glorious people's soldier.

Soon, a war that surprised everyone started on their doorstep, and in the face of the soaring dominance of US imperialism, a million volunteers strode across the Yalu River.

The Battle of Wenjing fired the first shot to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the Battle of Yunshan severely damaged the division of the founding fathers of the US imperialists, the Battle of Changjin Lake completely annihilated the regimental troops of the US imperialists, and the Xuemali Siege completely annihilated the Shuanghui Battalion of the British Imperial Royal Army.

Thinking of these fierce and war-torn battles, Li Guoqing seemed to have returned to the days when he followed the elderly veterans in the ice and snow to fight guerrilla warfare against the US imperialists in the dense forest ravines.

I thought of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, Squad Leader Wang and those loveliest comrades-in-arms of the 539th Regiment who died in order to cover the transfer of wounded soldiers of the whole corps.

I remembered that in the trenches, there were white porcelain jars filled with liquor, and fireworks flickering with sparks.

Later, Li Guoqing's company was captured by the US imperialists, and the days after being captured are indelible memories for the rest of Li Guoqing's life.

If it weren't for Political Commissar Wu's encouragement, Li Guoqing felt that maybe he would have died a long time ago and was thrown into the iceberg and snow.

During the 43-day battle of Shangganling, many comrades-in-arms came forward to bomb bunkers and block guns, and there were as many as 38 martyrs who left their names.

When they ran out of ammunition, countless people's fighters pulled grenades, or ignited blasters and perished with the enemy.

Yu Shuchang, a walkie-talkie of the 218th Regiment of the 73rd Division of the 23rd Army of the Chinese Volunteers, shouted to the whole world the shocking shout of raising the prestige of our country.

"Shoot at me, long live the Motherland!"

For a while, Li Guoqing felt like a coward.

For countless nights, he tried to pick up the brick in the corner of the wall and hit it on his head for a moment of complete relief.

It was under the persuasion of the political commissar Wu of the regiment and another comrade-in-arms, Wang Zhou, that he survived.

Li Guoqing did not dare to go home, he did not know how to explain to all his familiar relatives, friends and family why he became a prisoner.

In the summer of 1956, after receiving an urgent telegram from home, Li Guoqing finally set foot on the way home, and the moment he boarded the green train, how he hoped that the iron wheel of the train would never stop.

When Li Guoqing, who was in tattered clothes, walked into the house, the white cloth hanging in the house and the unsmiling black-and-white portrait of his father on the wall silently told him that his father, who looked more like a farmer than a soldier, was gone.

His father, Li Hongwu, died on his way to work at the Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory to save two children who had fallen into the water.

It's really harsh to hear someone whispering behind his back that the hero's son could be a coward!

Li Guoqing has no choice but to silently endure biting his lip and swallowing blood, this is no longer a battlefield, and he is just an unemployed young man who has been expelled from the military and has a stain.

The machinery factory and the neighborhood office respectively sent a pension of 200 yuan and a pennant with a glorious title to the Li family.

In the winter of his father's death, the second Li Meilian and the third Li Tong were born, and the originally deserted home gradually became lively again.

Because of his disgraceful military experience, Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory euphemistically rejected Li Wang's request for his eldest son to take the job, and a deputy section chief of the same group as Li Hongwu found Li Wang's and proposed to exchange 500 yuan for the employment index in the hands of the Li family.

After Li Hongwu retired from the army and changed jobs, he belonged to the cadre establishment in the Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory, with a monthly salary of 47 yuan 5.

It sounds ridiculous that the iron rice bowl for a lifetime is only exchanged for her husband's salary for less than a year, but Li Wang's family finally chose to agree to the exchange.

First, most of the family's savings were used to repair the house and subsidize Li Hongwu's comrades-in-arms, and second, Li Wang's family also had to take care of the newborn child, and the Li family really had no suitable person to replace her husband's work and work to make money.

Later, after the third master Yan Bugui knew about this, he was so angry that he pointed to Li Wang's nose and scolded her for not being a woman.

But what Yan Bugui didn't know was that the section chief who spent 500 yuan to replace the Li family's quota had mentioned Li Guoqing's name to Li Wang's many times, intentionally or unintentionally.

She still understands the truth of her guilt, a woman who has no skills.

Since the death of Li Hongwu, the pillar of the family, Li Wang's family has no job, and the eldest son Li Guoqing cannot find a job, and the whole family sits on the mountain all year round.

Especially when the two children grew up and started school, life at home became more difficult.

Fortunately, Aunt Xu of the neighborhood committee is a warm-hearted person, not only arranged some odd jobs for Li Wang's pasting paper boxes, but also strongly persuaded Li Wang's family to take out the last 150 yuan of the family's money trust relationship to find Li Guoqing a temporary job in the grain store in Beixinqiao.
