Chapter 116: Remembering a Meaningful Thing
Many people don't know the word "three lines", but some greatness should not be forgotten.
At that time, in order to deal with the external threat from the north, after three five-year plan periods, covering 13 provinces, investing more than 200 billion yuan and millions of manpower, thousands of enterprises were selected and built in deep mountain valleys and desert wilderness.
At that time, the slogan was "prepare for war and prepare for famine for the people" and "good people are good and immediately on the third line".
Countless people left their homes and abandoned their youth in the most remote and poor places, laying the industrial foundation of the country.
This is how Chang's father was recruited into the factory back then.
……
After driving forward for a while, I saw a boundary monument, and Chang Xian nodded and said: "8 kilometers, this is counted as our factory." ”
Li Dongfei now knows the habit of being idle, saying "our unit" or "our company", that is, Xingchen Company.
Saying "our factory" means that Huaxiang Machinery Factory grew by itself.
Seeing Li Dongfei's looking left and right with great interest, he often said: "When I was a fellow student, I lived in the house in front of me, you must know each other." ”
Changxian refers to a two-story bungalow.
Li Dongfei was a little surprised and said, "I know? Which celebrity's former home is that? ”
Don't blame him for his quick reaction, this bird can't have anything to do with him where it doesn't, and if he knows it, it can only be a celebrity.
Chang smiled and said: "Gong Zhichao, the Olympic champion of the Sydney Olympics." ”
"She? I really know each other. ”
Li Dongfei smiled and said, "She's your classmate?" Let's play together next time. ”
As he spoke, the car turned into a fork in the road, and on both sides were thick French plane trees, behind which were rows of bayberry trees.
Walk through it and you'll find a building.
In the center of the highway, there is a five-story building on the left and right sides, on which is written in bold characters "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people".
At the end was a flat field, and although it was surrounded by wild grass, it could still be seen that it was a playground.
The two got out of the car.
There is no one in the empty mountain, but there is a sound of people's voices.
Chang Xian said: "On the left is our factory's children's primary school, and the building on the other side is our middle school. ”
Li Dongfei nodded, many state-owned enterprises were like this back then.
At that time, Huaxiang Machinery Factory had a high school for its children, but after the relocation, there was only a junior high school, and then there was only a primary school, and then the primary school was gone.
Chang Xian was a little silent, and his feet did not stop, and he took Li Dongfei through the elementary school, behind the teaching building, in the shade of the woods, there was a courtyard.
"Hehe, after all these years, this brand hasn't been picked up as chopping wood!"
Li Dongfei raised his head and saw a signboard with black letters on a white background, which read "Huaxiang Machinery Factory Children's Kindergarten".
The sign is clearly a long time coming, and the top patent leather is peeling off, revealing the wood color underneath.
One of the iron rings used to hold the signboard has been rusted and broken, and the signboard is skewed to the right, making a hoarse sound at the slightest movement.
Next to the painted sign is an iron gate with a closed door, and next to it is a gatehouse.
Chang Xian recalled: "I remember that the guard's uncle's surname is Yi, and he is a man from the court. The veteran who retired from the battlefield of Xian, although he was kind, always had an indescribable smell on his body, and we didn't dare to approach him. ”
"A veteran from the battlefield?"
Li Dongfei said thoughtfully: "That's the murderous aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse, it is difficult for gods and ghosts to approach, once they get angry, ordinary people will be silent, and children will not dare to approach subconsciously." ”
"Perhaps, the porter is very small, and there is only a simple bed in it, and his snoring can be heard from afar at that time, like thunder......"
Chang Xian pushed open the gate with force, and the gate reluctantly "crunched" and slowly made concessions to the visitors.
patted the iron filings on his hands, and said idly: "Uncle Yi is kind, he doesn't care about anything but his one-third of an acre." ”
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Uncle Yi attaches great importance to his one-third of an acre.
The so-called one-acre three-point land refers to a small vegetable plot he planted behind the gatehouse.
In addition to sleeping, his biggest thing every day is to take care of the vegetable field, and sell the vegetables he grows to the canteen to earn some cigarette money.
For the sake of this cigarette money, he did not allow any children to enter his vegetable patch, and if he approached, he would yell at him and dare to walk in......
Standing at the door, the kindergarten covers an area of not large, the main building is two small second floors, in the middle is a small playground, and on the left side of the playground are some slides and swings and other entertainment facilities.
These facilities are not completely broken, but they are generally in good condition, and they may not fall apart when you sit on them.
But their junctions have been loosened, and when they shake, they make a squeaky sound.
Chang Xian stood between the two small buildings and stood still for a while.
He moved to Jianning when he was ten years old, and this kindergarten is loaded with too many memories for him.
Many trivial memories emerge, like reflections thrown into a whirlpool by a stone, so complicated that they are completely indistinguishable.
He looked back at Li Dongfei and smiled reluctantly.
"There is no insulation on the roof of this broken kindergarten, and there is no air conditioning, which is very uncomfortable in winter and summer, especially in summer, every room here is like an oven."
said that it was a broken kindergarten, but his expression was very soft, but his tone was very soft.
"That's it, each of us has practiced the ability to sleep soundly no matter what kind of heat."
Li Dongfei said: "We were about the same at that time, on a cold day, we went out to play in the snow, and our hands were frozen like buns, and we had to be beaten when we went back." ”
He grinned and said, "I'm done beating, and I'll come back the next day." ”
It was so deserted that it was too much to stand, and after standing nostalgic for a while, the two turned around and went out.
"Haha! At that time, you were beaten playing in the snow, and we were beaten in the mud. ”
The two walked to the front of the primary school and got into the car, and often said: "When I was in elementary school, our teacher assigned an essay with the title of - Remember a meaningful thing......"
Li Dongfei said with a smile: "The vitality of this topic is really tenacious, we will write it at that time, you will write it now, and it is estimated that you will have to write it in the future, and your children and grandchildren will write it down!" ”
What is meaningful? Help the old lady cross the street? Write all about this, the old lady is not enough! There is an eldest in our class, and his masterpiece is to remember a meaningful thing - stealing cucumbers! ”
As soon as Chang Xian said it, Li Dongfei almost laughed.
"At that time, I didn't make the teacher so angry that he didn't say anything about first aid, he said that he couldn't die, what he stole was the cucumbers in Uncle Yi's one-acre and three-point field in the kindergarten, and he died!"
The two laughed.
……
Li Dongfei suddenly discovered a problem.
"Xiao Chang, look, I'm a little older than you, but we call brothers and sisters, and there is no generation gap in communication."
He scraped his chin with his fingers and pondered: "But those children who have just joined the company, they are not a few years younger than you, and it is difficult to speak, they can't understand what they say, isn't it strange?" ”
