fifty-five

It was another 15 years in the blink of an eye to the Hongqi Coal Mine in the southwest, and it was 1979. In August of this year, his mother Zou Zhaodi, who had lived with Sun Chenghui and Liu Cunyi's family for more than 20 years, fell ill and was dying.

This reunion in the southwest made Sun Chenghui sigh with emotion: In the past fifteen years, the unprecedented proletarian ***** alone has been carried out for ten years, and everyone has suffered enough one by one, even people like Liu Cunyi almost gave up their lives, and the experience of brother-in-law Tian Jianchuan and sister Sun Chengfen can be imagined. The years of suffering left a deep imprint on Tian Jianchuan and Sun Chengfen's faces, they were all too old to look like they were, and they looked at least ten years older than their actual age. But their wrinkled faces were full of joy, and as soon as they met, they told Sun Chenghui that Tian Jianchuan's rightist problem had been corrected, and they were waiting for the implementation of the policy organizationally. also asked Sun Chenghui's opinion and asked Sun Chenghui whether it was better to stay in Anhui or go back to Beijing Hongguang Middle School? After seeing their mother in the hospital, the couple talked to her about Beijing's Xiaozui Hutong when she was awake, saying that when her mother recovered, they would take her to Beijing to have a good look. The joy made my mother burst into tears.

Brother Sun Chengwei is not too old, and he is still so ridiculous, not to mention that he came late, and he also got a large bag of clothes to bring over when he transferred trains in Shanghai. He himself also wore a crappy plaid suit, like a returned overseas Chinese. Sun Chenghui asked him how he had come over the years, Sun Chengwei didn't say anything, his mouth was full of new terms, and he said that it was "a catastrophe", the country had been killed, who could be better? So, "unite and look forward". Sun Chenghui clearly asked the question of "bad elements", and Sun Chengwei said that the rich and the bad right have all taken off their hats, how can they keep him as a bad element? According to Sun Chengwei, he is now a completely law-abiding citizen.

Sun Chengwei, a law-abiding citizen, was still as cynical as in the past, and when he arrived home the first day, he looked at the photos of the children in the frame of the past 15 years, and let out a sarcastic exclamation: "This is really earth-shaking and generous, and a new generation is growing up!" These bunnies are all dog-like! ”

Sun Chenghui said: "No, the five children are all older, and Cunyi and I are about to get out." You see, this is a one-month photo taken by the Aid Dynasty and the apprenticeship foreman at the Yangshan Electron Tube Factory. This was taken when he joined the Mao ** ideological propaganda team after the victory was decentralized. It's a leap forward, not like when you were a kid, right? Now I'm a nerd, I read books when I walk, and I want to go to college. Oh, these two are ** and dare to fight......"

Sun Chengwei was very strange: "Hey, Cheng Hui, why did you dare to fight?" Isn't this pair of twins called difficult and natural? It was the name that Cunyi gave them, and I was there when the name was given. ”

Sun Chenghui sighed: "Don't mention it." For this name, Cunyi suffered enough in the *****, saying that he was reactionary, and his right arm was broken by the Red Guards. Later, the name was changed, and it was naturally changed to **, and the difficulties were changed to dare to fight. At that time, it was not about 'dare to fight'. ”

Sun Chengwei frowned: "It's okay for a boy to be called a **, but it's not good for a girl to be called a dare to fight." ”

Sun Chenghui said: "At that time, how could you care about what was good or not? Brother, don't you know how powerful those Red Guard generals are, let the household registration police bring the household registration book to the scene of criticism, and let Liu Cunyi change it on the spot. The name of the old enemy in the previous house was changed even worse, it was originally called Qiu Zeng, whose hatred is increasing? Let's change it, just as our country's artificial satellite went into the sky, it changed its name to 'artificial'......"

Sun Chengwei was happy: "Oh, man-made? It must be man-made, it won't be made by dogs! ”

Sun Chenghui sighed: "Alas, the events of that year are ridiculous......

As he was talking, a girl who looked like Sun Chenghui when she was young jumped into the house, and before the girl arrived, her voice came first: "Hey, Mom, has my uncle and his old man visited?" ”

Sun Chenghui blurted out: "It's here!" After saying that, he regretted it, pointed to the girl's forehead and said, "What came?" Your little fifth son, like your uncle, never has a serious time, your uncle comes, isn't this your uncle? ”

Sun Chengwei looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "It's our comrade Liu Xiaowu and Liu Dangdou, right?" ”

Liu Gandou nodded, looking familiar: "Uncle, how serious do you say my parents are?" Never give me a good name for seriousness, first call me difficult, and then tell me to dare to fight, who do I fight with a girl?! ”

Sun Chengwei Zhile: "Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people!" ”

Liu Dangdou snorted and said, "Uncle, I'll fight with you!" ”

Unexpectedly, he really fought from then on, and the fight turned out to be twenty years, and Sun Chengwei complained bitterly.

On this night, Sun Chenghui and Sun Chengfen chatted with their mother in the hospital, Liu Cunyi did not come back from a meeting in the mine, and Sun Chengwei, the former head of the child, sat at a table with Liu Yuanchao, Liu Yuejin, Liu **, and Liu Dangdou, the little comrades of the year, and enjoyed a good night alone. The only regret is that Liu Shengli, who was sent to the countryside, did not come back.

Twenty-seven-year-old Liu Yuanchao no longer had the shadow of being naughty, and became very deep, toasting Sun Chengwei from time to time.

Sun Chengwei was so excited that he couldn't help but talk about the past: "...... Aid to the DPRK, you were the most naughty when you were a child, you were still bold, you got into trouble at two ends in three days, and your ass was going to be smashed by your father, but I often saved you......"

Liu Yuanchao smiled very gracefully, took a sip of wine, and looked like a decent gentleman: "Uncle, don't talk about the past, didn't the newspaper say it?" Look forward. ”

Liu Dangdou came to the end: "You can't just look forward, you have to remember the past." Lenin said that forgetting the past means betrayal - uncle, you can tell me more about the deeds of my eldest brother when he was a child, so that I and ** can also have a long experience. ”

Liu ** protected his eldest brother: "Uncle, don't listen to Xiao Wu, she just wants to see the jokes of the eldest brother." ”

Sun Chengwei said happily: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, Aiding Korea is now an adult, and has become the third in command of your family, and it will be a loss of face to talk about those things in the past, my uncle and Aiding Chao are old friends, so I can't let my old friends lose face." Although he said that, Sun Chengwei still showed the appearance of aiding the DPRK, stretched his head in front of the aiding the DPRK, and asked with great concern, "Hey, aiding the DPRK, after I left, your father won't let you take off your pants when he smokes you, right?" ”

Liu Dangdou made a look of surprise: "Huh? Big brother, in the past, our dad still asked you to take off your pants when he pumped you? Isn't that too degrading? Then, Gege smiled, "Uncle, if you don't say it, I would never have imagined that such a great person as my eldest brother would have experienced such miserable, painful, and bleak years when he was a child!" No wonder when the '*****' came, my eldest brother would rise up in rebellion, and in 1976 he would join the 'April Five' Movement......"

Liu Yuanchao was really angry, and the chopsticks fell: "Liu dare to fight, are you enough?" You think these things are fun?! ”

Liu Yuejin, who was full of anger, gently persuaded: "Don't quarrel, don't argue, uncle, you drink." Big brother, you too, uncle and Xiao Wu are joking, what are you really doing? ”

Liu Yuanchao said at this time: "Uncle, don't care, I'm not here for you, I'm for Xiaowu Liu Dangdou, Liu Dangdou is the bad element of our family, he has been beaten since he was a child, and he was spoiled by my parents." He raised his glass and saluted Sun Chengwei by the way: "Uncle, now we don't take class struggle as the key link, the rich and the bad right have taken off their hats, come, my old friend toasts you, congratulations on your success in taking off the hat of bad elements!" ”

Liu Yuejin was taken aback: "Big brother, why are you talking like this?" Uncle is a guest! ”

Sun Chengwei didn't care: "It's nothing, it's nothing, my uncle is not a guest!" Aid to Korea is very right, my uncle finally succeeded in taking off the hat of a bad element! The Party Central Committee said in the communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee that in the future, we will no longer engage in class struggle as the key link, and you will not have the opportunity to wear the hat of a bad element. "Come, comrades, a toast to your future without hats!" ”

After returning to his room after being full of wine and food, Liu Gandou, the "bad element" of the Liu family, also followed into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Liu Dangdou tossed up the large bag of clothes brought by Sun Chengwei as if no one was around, and took out one or two dresses from time to time to compare with himself.

Sun Chengwei asked proudly: "How is it, little fifth son, are these clothes beautiful?" ”

Liu Gandou nodded and said, "It's quite beautiful." As he spoke, he put a coat on his hand, smiled at Sun Chengwei, and said, "Uncle, you are really, you are all a family, and you are still so polite?!" I was so touched by the fact that they brought us so many beautiful clothes at once! ”

Sun Chengwei hurriedly said: "Hey, little fifth son, don't be busy moving, your uncle will only give you one piece." ”

Liu Gandou kicked the big bag of clothes with his foot: "Then who are so many good clothes left?" Moldy? ”

Sun Chengwei said: "Don't bother me, these clothes can't be left, they are all Shanghai goods, and they can't be moldy." ”

Liu Dare pouted: "Why can't you get moldy?" The air here is damp, unlike your northern ......."

Sun Chengwei saw the fame: "Dare to fight, do you kid want to knock on your uncle's bamboo pole?" ”

Liu Dangdou shouted: "Uncle, what is this called?" What is this called? I'm afraid you'll waste it. Mao taught us that embezzlement and waste are great crimes. Uh, uncle, you don't want to sin, do you? ”

Sun Chengwei couldn't cry or laugh: "I definitely don't want to." ”

Liu Gandou took out a skirt from the big bag, took out another blouse, and put it on his elbow: "Okay, uncle, I'll help you wear these pieces first, reduce a little waste......"

Sun Chengwei didn't stop it, he didn't stop it, he thought about it nervously, and was forced to start the first negotiation on business with his niece: "Okay, good, Liu Xiaowu Liu dares to fight, I can convince you, no wonder you are a bad element of your family!" Let's do it this way: according to the socialist principle of remuneration according to work, how about your kid help me sell this bag of clothes, and I will give you an extra skirt? See clearly, real Shanghai goods! ”

Liu Dangdou jumped up with joy: "Ouch, uncle, this is great!" To tell you the truth, I have nothing to do after graduating from high school, ** want to sign up for the army, but Mine Chief Liu and his wife want me to go to the countryside like my eldest sister and second brother, I don't do it! Uncle, from now on, I will professionally help you sell clothes! But, uncle, I helped you sell so many clothes, and you let me earn a dress, this exploitation is too much, isn't it? ”

Sun Chengwei looked at Liu Dangdou steadily: "Okay, then how much do you say you should earn?" ”

Liu Dangdou tilted his head and thought about it: "Uncle, sell ten pieces to earn one?" What do you think? ”

Sun Chengwei shook his head: "Sell fifteen pieces to earn one, this is very discounted." ”

Liu Dangdou sighed exaggeratedly: "Forget it, uncle, I'll take one more step and sell twelve pieces to earn one." ”

Sun Chengwei thought for a while: "Okay, dare to fight, for the sake of you calling my uncle, let's make this decision first!" ”

Liu Dangdou grabbed Sun Chengwei's arm: "Uncle, for the sake of you being my uncle, I don't care about it." ”

Sun Chengwei and Liu Dangdou's uncle and nephew began to cooperate and struggle for 20 years.
