Chapter 1 There are frozen bones on the road
1955 year.
The outskirts of the capital.
Township Village.
Late at night.
Lou Guangcheng struggled to carry a young man into the courtyard.
"Moth's mother, Moth's mother, come out, come out!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Hey, Guangcheng, you... What's going on. ”
Seeing that Lou Guangcheng was carrying an unconscious young man on his back, Lou's mother was stunned for a while.
"Don't talk nonsense yet, help and move him into the house."
The two worked together to move the young man into the house.
It was placed on the bed.
"Guangcheng, didn't you go out to drink with people?"
"Guangcheng, what do I usually say about you, no matter how good you are, you can't let a young man drink like this."
"Drinking and drinking, and keeping other boys at home, how can there be such a thing."
"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about! I picked this man up on the road. ”
"On such a cold day, when I saw him, he was almost frozen to death."
When his wife heard this, her face immediately changed.
"Guangcheng, did you pick him up? What's the matter with you? I don't know what our family is like now. ”
"In case this person is from the Security Division..."
Lou's mother glared at Lou Guangcheng complainingly.
She said this, and she already had a towel in her hand, moistened it, and put it on the young man.
Then I brought a thick quilt.
Lou Guangcheng was originally a bourgeoisie, but later fled to the countryside with his wife and daughter Lou Xiao'e to live in the village temporarily.
Looking at the young man lying on the bed, Lou's mother said uneasily: "Guangcheng, if this person wakes up later, quickly blast him away." Did you hear that? ”
"We still have a daughter at home, if someone else sees a young man raised, how much gossip do we have to listen to?"
When Lou Guangcheng heard this, he nodded solemnly: "I know, daughter-in-law, you go back to the house to rest first, I'll stay here tonight, and when he wakes up, I'll blast him away immediately." ”
"Well, that's pretty much it, then I'll go back to the house and rest first."
...
...
...
Following.
Morning.
"Sister-in-law Lou, Brother Lou, are you at home?"
Lou's mother, who was cooking breakfast, heard the shouts outside the house, put down the busyness in her hands, and walked outside the house.
"Hey, sister-in-law Liu, why are you here?"
"Sister-in-law of the Lou family, I don't want to tell your Xiao'e that the matchmaker is here."
"Sister-in-law Liu, my Xiao'e has just turned eighteen this year, and you are a matchmaker for her now, it's a little early."
"It's eighteen, and it's not small. Look, I've brought it all to you. ”
"This young man's name is Xu Damao, he is in his early twenties this year, and there is not much age difference between him and your moth."
Lou's mother looked at Xu Damao beside Mrs. Liu and looked up and down.
Xu Damao is tall and straight, with a mouthful of stubble, not only does not make people feel disgusting, but is a little mature.
It's just that he has a horse face.
Lou's mother didn't like it very much.
Mrs. Liu has been a matchmaker all her life, so she naturally saw what Lou's mother thought.
She couldn't help kicking Xu Damao: "Damao, why don't you hurry up and say hello to your aunt?"
Xu Damao carried two large bags of pork and walked forward with squinted eyes: "Hello Aunt Lou, my name is Xu Damao, I came here today with something to propose marriage to your daughter." He now works as a projectionist in a rolling mill, earning dozens of dollars a month. ”
The conditions of the Lou family are not bad, and they don't covet these pieces of pork, but I heard that Xu Damao has a job as a projectionist.
Lou's mother's face softened.
The matchmaker on the side is best at observing words and feelings.
She saw that Lou's mother's face had changed for the better, and immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "Lou's sister-in-law, listen to it, projectionist." It's a lot of work right now. If your daughter marries Da Mao, she will be blessed. Moreover, Da Mao, this child, is honest and responsible. You can rest assured. ”
Lou's mother listened to this and nodded thoughtfully.
"Sister-in-law Liu, since everyone is here, let's go sit down first."
When the matchmaker heard this, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.
"Da Mao, don't hurry up and follow my aunt into the house."
"Eh, eh!"
The two were invited to the house by Lou's mother.
Lou's mother is making tea and serving snacks.
Seeing that Lou's mother didn't call her daughter out for a long time, Mrs. Liu couldn't help frowning and looking around.
"Sister-in-law Lou, where's Xiao'e?"
"Why don't you let her come out to meet Da Mao?"
Lou's mother noticed that the matchmaker's eyes were staring at one of the rooms, intentionally or unintentionally, and she remembered that a young man had been brought back to the house last night.
If it is seen, things are in trouble.
"Oh, Xiao'e, she went out early in the morning, and she should be back in a while, you sit down for a while, and I'll call you Brother Lou." I can't be the master alone."
"Okay, you slow down."
Inside the house.
Lou Guangcheng was woken up by a series of sounds.
He got up with a frown and looked at the young man lying on the bed.
I slept soundly, but my complexion looked much better than last night.
He thought to himself, just let the lad sleep a little longer.
I didn't wake him up.
The door was pushed open at this point.
Lou Guangcheng's wife poked her head in and whispered, "How is it?" Are you awake? ”
"No, but seeing that his complexion has improved a lot, it shouldn't be a big problem, so let him sleep more."
"Who's out there, why is it so noisy?"
"It's Sister-in-law Liu next door."
"Huh? What is she here for? ”
"What else do you say? Of course, it was to tell our Xiao'e that the matchmaker was coming. ”
Lou's mother got in.
Shut the door.
She looked at the young man who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and complained:
"Look at you, what did I tell you last night? Now such a big young man is still staying in our house, in case Mrs. Liu knows, is it unreasonable and can't be explained? ”
"It's not like you don't know how fast her mouth is."
Lou Guangcheng said angrily: "What should I do then? You can't watch people freeze to death, right? He hasn't woken up yet, Mrs. Liu's side, you can prevaricate a few words first. ”
"How to prevaricate? Now people are coming with a small group of people to block the house. How else can I prevaricate? ”
The wife glared at Lou Guangcheng helplessly.
"Let's go, you go out with me first."
"Why don't you just go about this yourself?"
"My moth isn't too small, it's time to find her a partner."
"I heard Mrs. Liu say that this young man is a projectionist, and I think others are quite honest. We can't afford to miss this opportunity, no. ”
Lou Guangcheng shook his head and still followed.
"Brother Lou, you're here. Look at it, I found a very good partner for your Xiao'e. ”
"His name is Xu Damao, and he is currently working as a projectionist at the Red Star Rolling Mill."
Mrs. Liu is a famous mouth.
It only took a few minutes to tell Xu Damao to go to heaven.
Xu Damao complimented respectfully on the side, but a long time passed, and he didn't see Liu Xiao'e come back, Xu Damao was a little anxious: "Uncle and aunt, when will Xiao'e come back."
When the matchmaker heard this, she smiled: "Brother Lou and sister-in-law Lou, look at it, Da Mao is so sincere, I can't wait now."
"No, I don't, Xiao'e went out alone, I'm just a little worried."
Xu Damao blushed and touched his head embarrassedly.
Lou Guangcheng and his wife looked at Xu Damao's embarrassed appearance, and suddenly the more they looked at Xu Damao, the more pleasing they became.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Huh? Is there a guest at home today? ”
Lou Xiao'e carried large bags of vegetables and walked towards the house.
Lou Xiao'e is 18 years old this year.
Graceful figure.
With short hair.
White skin and beautiful appearance.
At first glance, she is a big beauty.
"Girl, you're finally back, Aunt Liu has introduced you to a blind date."
"Xiao'e, this is Da Mao, others are fine. Da Mao, why don't you hurry up and say hello to Xiao'e? ”
Looking at Lou Xiao'e, who was like a hibiscus out of the water, Xu Damao's eyes suddenly burst into stars.
He heard from the matchmaker that the Lou family used to be a bourgeoisie, and the family conditions were very good, so he came to propose marriage.
This will meet Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a rich family.
It's so beautiful.
Only then did he realize that Mrs. Liu was not lying.
Moreover, Lou Xiao'e is much more beautiful than she imagined.
He was so happy that he was a rich woman with such a rich family.
He knew he was lucky today.
As long as Lou Xiao'e is won, he won't have to worry about food and clothing in the next life.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao hurriedly stood up.
"Miss Lou, hello, my name is Xu Damao."
Xu Damao said as he fartished and took what Lou Xiao'e had in his hand.
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's tall and upright, and quite gentlemanly, and her face immediately turned a little red.
Mrs. Liu saw it in her eyes, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly gave up her seat.
"Xiao'e, come on, sit here."
"Da Mao, you sit next to her."
"Hmm."
"Xiao'e, I know your family is good, but Damao is not bad, he, he works in a rolling mill, and his salary is high..."
Lou Xiao'e, who has just turned eighteen, is so close to the opposite sex for the first time, and her ears are red and gorgeous.
As soon as she heard the matchmaker say that Xu Damao was a projectionist, her heart was full of joy, and her good impression was a little more.
"Moth, if you think it's okay, this matter is decided, I'll ask Da Mao to come and pick you up another day."
"Da Mao is in a courtyard and has three rooms. It's just waiting for you to go over and enjoy it. ”
...
...
...
Inside a small room.
The young man lying on the bed suddenly moved his hands.
He listened to the noise outside, and wiped his eyes in confusion.
"Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e?"
"Where am I? Am I not dead yet? ”
Li Jianguo looked at the cramped room with a blank expression.
Just as he was confused.
The sound of conversation outside the house was getting softer and softer.
In a few seconds, a familiar figure walked in.
"Lou Guangcheng?"
"Lou Xiao'e's father, so young."
Li Jianguo frowned, the uncle in front of him looked exactly like Lou Guangcheng, but he looked young inexplicably.
Lou Guangcheng listened to Li Jianguo call out his name word for word, and his heart was slightly stunned.
Does this young man know him?
He was a little uneasy, thinking to himself that he couldn't really be told by his wife.
Is this guy really from the Security Division?
