"Tian Kunhe is your uncle?" The man with glasses was interested, reached out and picked up Tian Liu's file from the woman with her hair in a bun, and after reading it carefully, he gently patted Tian Liu's file with his right hand, and said easily: "It's him, Tian Liu, your file will stay in our unit, and you will work in our unit in the future." ”

The middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun cautiously reminded: "Director Han, what our unit wants is a reliable party member, and this Tian Liu has not joined the party yet." ”

"I said, my eldest sister Li, we can't be too rigid in our work, Tian Liu and his father died in the line of duty, can he still be reliable?!" Let's go through the formalities for him. Director Han pointed to a large pile of archives on the desktop, and said to Sister Li, who was holding her hair in a bun: "You can put these away, and then return them to the archives of various counties and cities." ”

When Director Han was about to go out, he beckoned to Tian Liu, who was standing in the center of the office in a stunned circle, "Comrade Xiaotian, come to my office." ”

Tian Liu came to the director's office next door in a daze, like a dream, and stood cramped and uneasy.

He secretly pinched the mouth of his left hand with his left thumb and index finger to determine whether he was dreaming.

"Don't be nervous, we're all from the same unit, and we're all members of our own family, sit, sit." Director Han pointed to a chair at the base of the wall and said politely, "How is your uncle now?" ”

Tian Liu briefly described the recent situation of his uncle Tian Kunhe in a few simple words, and Director Han listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

He said to Tian Liu with a kind attitude: "There is a post in our unit that often goes to the countryside to offer condolences, and we need to select a politically reliable comrade from this group of professional soldiers, and you must do a good job." ”

Tian Liu stood up excitedly, his eyes were wet, and Director of the Korean Department bowed three times respectfully, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Han, Tian Liu will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

Director Han smiled and said, "Okay, you're welcome, you go home after completing the formalities, prepare the daily necessities, and come to work in the unit." By the way, help me ask your uncle on his behalf, if he hadn't spoken up back then, I would have paid more than 500 yuan to that young man. ”

Sitting in the carriage back to the county seat, Tian Liu pinched his arm with his hand from time to time to see if he was dreaming, the bruises on his right arm were one by one, and he was not dreaming.

When I thought of myself as an orphan, I met Director Han, who my uncle had helped, by chance, and changed my life in the future.

Tian Liu buried his head in his knees, crying silently with excitement, his shoulders shrugged, making his fellow passengers look sideways.

Everyone was worried that the handsome guy next to him might be a psychopath, he was pinching himself just now, and now he is crying again.

Tian Liu, who was full of joy and sorrow, shared the good news of his assignment to work in a department of his superiors with Jia Xin, Jia Xin happily stroked Tian Liu's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and stared at the man he loved with tears.

She knew that the distance between herself and Tian Liu was getting farther and farther, and the gap in the middle was wide and deep until it was untouchable.

I bought some rock candy and tea in the store department and came to the uncle's house in Guangren Township, and Tian Liuxing Chongchong conveyed Director Han's greetings to the honest uncle.

Under Tian Liu's reminder, Tian Kunhe vaguely recalled that there was such a thing back then, Zhang Zhongming used a dead mule to blackmail passers-by, he really couldn't stand it, so he said a few words.

Unexpectedly, the passer-by was still a loving and righteous person, Tian Kunhe told his nephew to work hard, and he must do a good job to fight for his parents who are not alive.

Tian Liu, who was born in a worker's family, cherished this job very much, worked hard in the unit, never picked fat and thin, and quickly won the praise of his colleagues, and was sent by the unit to attend a two-year adult college class at Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics the following year.

Founded in 1950, the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government Cadre School has trained many economic and management talents for all parts of Xinjiang, and Tian Liu started his life in this school.

Tian Miao, who is in her third year at Bayi Agricultural College, is loyal and honest, has excellent academic performance, and stands out as the secretary of the Youth League branch of this class of college students.

Haimiti, who is two years higher than Tian Liu, is facing various preparations for graduation, and the handsome and handsome appearance of Haimiti University has always been the object of pursuit by Uyghur and Kazakh girls for five years.

The pursuit of the enthusiastic and unrestrained minority girl could not shake his thoughts and love for Pang Dongdong at all.

Hemiti has not seen Pang Dongdong for five years, and he always remembers his father's earnest teaching of Buick Polati that his son doll in Xinjiang should talk and count, and when he becomes an eagle on the grassland, he will ride a horse to marry his beloved girl.

In the past five years, he has never been in contact with Pang Dongdong, but he knows from his father, who transferred to Guozigou, that last year, after graduating from Pang Dongdong Health School, he was assigned to work as a nurse in the county hospital.

As soon as Pang Dongdong went to work, she became the target of the competition for single male doctors, and many young men pursued her, but they all ran into a wall.

Tian Liu was sent to study at the Urumqi Institute of Finance and Economics, and he had a salary, and compared with poor students Tian Miao and Haimiti, his college life was quite nourishing.

Three young men of the same age gather in the small cafeteria from time to time to have a light meal and drink a bottle of Yili Daqu, all the expenses are borne by Tian Yang.

In the past two years, the relationship between the three of them is quite deep, Haimiti is the oldest, Tian Miao and Tian Liu of the same age call Haimiti the eldest brother, Tian Miao is the second, and Tian Liu is the youngest is the third.

The life of Tian Kunhe's family in Guangren Township is as usual, facing the loess and facing the sky, which is the normal life of the old peasants.

Zhang Hua, the widow of the second brother Tian Kunpeng, dragged the grown Tian Wan'er and Tian Shi back to the original brigade, and Zhang Hua began to work as a tailor again.

As the days began to improve, the rural people began to be willing to spend money and consume, no longer like before, wear a dress all year round, take out the cotton wool in the middle of the clothes as summer clothes in the spring, and then stuff the cotton wool into it as winter clothes in late autumn.

Now that everyone has two sets of clothes to wear, Zhang Hua's tailoring business is becoming more and more prosperous, and the little land at home is not enough.

The shrewd Zhang Hua rented a store on the government street of Guangren Township and opened the first tailor shop in Guangren Township, and the business was quite prosperous.

Her daughter Tian Wan'er has been a teacher in the commune primary school for several years, and she has never become a regular teacher.

Zhang Hua, who is extremely utilitarian and shrewd, heard that the commune is going to solve the indicators of several substitute teachers this year.

Zhang Hua took the tape measure and took the initiative to go to the home of the education officer in charge of the school in the township government, measured the size of his family of five, and after coming back, he made five sets of clothes and sent them to the door.

His son Tian Shi has no match to do farm work in the production team, and he can still earn some work, and Zhang Hua's family has a very solid life.

Tian Kunhe's second son Tian Sui took the college entrance examination and fell to Sun Shan, he disobeyed his father's wishes and did not go to the sophomore cram school.

Hearing that someone had made a fortune by secretly reselling agricultural and sideline products, Tian Sui decided to go out.

It's a pity that he was shy in his pocket, so as a last resort, he went to the door to borrow some money from his second aunt Zhang Hua as capital.

He never dreamed that his open mouth would not close.

Zhang Lace, who was dressed in a bare flower dress, cut a piece of gray fabric with scissors, and pouted and politely refused, "Tian Sui, your sister Wan'er will get married soon, she is going to marry the township accountant as a daughter-in-law, how can her mother-in-law say that she also eats public meals, I have to prepare a thicker dowry for Wan'er, where is the money to borrow for you?!" ”

Tian Sui looked at Tian Wan'er who was holding a small round mirror on the chair and squeezing the pimple on his face.

Tian Wan'er squinted her eyes and looked up and down at Tian Sui's cloth shoes with her thumb exposed, and said in a loud voice: "Yo, Tian Sui, how old are they?" Still dressed like this, look at the difference between you and the people who ask for food outside?! ”

"That's it, Tian Sui, I'll say you're my brother outside in the future." Tian Shishi, who was sitting on the edge of the small bed and munching on melon seeds, looked at Tian Sui, who was two years younger than him, with a disgusted expression.

The blood all over his body rushed straight up, Tian Sui clenched his fists, and said, "Don't worry, I, Tian Sui, will starve to death outside, and I won't step into your house to ask for food." He left with a huff and a puff.

Old people often say, "Don't bully young people to be poor", which is not false at all.

After Tian Sui, who was from a poor family, came out of Zhang Hua's tailor shop with tears in his eyes, he made an ambition that he Tian Sui must become a rich man and impress those snobbery who look down on people.

After returning home, Tian Sui sat on the log in the stable, staring at the ants on the ground without saying a word.

Tian Kunhe came back from work with his wife carrying a bamboo basket with a shovel, Ji Yue'e dug up some camelina vegetables in the field and prepared to mix cold vegetables to eat, and she was busy making dinner without touching her feet.

Looking at the whiteness of his father's temples, because of the sweat that made the temples wet and sticky to his face, he looked tired, although his father's eyes were bright, but the wind and frost of the years carved furrows on his face, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were particularly obvious.

Tian Sui thought of everything that happened to Zhang Hua today, and he was so aggrieved that he let out a "wow", threw himself into his father's arms, and cried like a three- or four-year-old child.

Hearing his 17-year-old son Tian Sui, sobbing and telling about how he borrowed money and was disliked and ridiculed by Zhang Hua's family of three, Tian Kunhe's face became solemn, restrained his emotions, and his eyes were bloodshot.

In Xinjiang, the Tian family brothers and sisters are left with him, his sister Tian Kunrong, and his second sister-in-law Zhang Hua in this life.

In these three families, Tian Kunhe has been helping and taking care of his relatives in distress all the year round, and his family situation is the most difficult, often stretched and unable to make ends meet.

But no matter how difficult it was, he never begged them, nor did he tell them the anguish of his heart.

Unexpectedly, he from a poor family would fall to such a point, ridiculed by his relatives, Tian Kunhe raised his head to the sky and laughed, the laughter was so desolate and sad.

In front of his son, he didn't say a word and swallowed all the grievances into his stomach.

After that, Tian Kunhe seemed to have completely forgotten what made him sad, and was desperately busy in the fields.

On the day of her niece Tian Wan'er's wedding, Zhang Hua did not invite Tian Kunhe's family to participate, and after her family climbed to her in-laws' house for a public meal, she was afraid that the poor Tian Kunhe's family would wear tatters, so she came to the banquet to smear her Zhang Hua's face.

Zhang Hua of the philistine personally invited Tian Kunrong's family to participate in the banquet, Buick Polati is the deputy secretary of the township, and it should be more face-saving for a relative who is an official to come to the party.

Accountant Wang of the in-law family knew that Tian Kunhe had been pulling Zhang Hua's family when they were in trouble, and seeing that no one from Tian Kunhe's family had come, he asked Zhang Hua strangely.

Zhang Hua looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "His family is busy earning work in the field." ”

Seeing that her in-laws were so unhappy that they pulled down their faces, Zhang Hua realized that she had miscalculated that she hadn't invited Tian Kunhe's family.

Daughter Tian Wan'er found a good mother-in-law to make Zhang Hua really happy for more than half a year, but soon, she felt more and more uncomfortable.

Since her daughter Tian Wan'er married into Accountant Wang's family, her daughter went home for a day and never went home to visit her.

In the words of Accountant Wang, what does it look like for the daughter who got married to spill the water and go back to her parents' house all day long.

Tian Wan'er was afraid of making her in-laws angry, and according to the customs of Accountant Wang's hometown in Gansu, she just went to visit Zhang Hua during the New Year's holidays.

Zhang Hua, who has a solid life, has become more and more dependent on her son Tian Shishi, "raising children to prevent old age", and she pinned all her hopes for the rest of her life on her only son Tian Shishi.

Zhang Xilin's family in the First Production Brigade, what made Hu Su most happy was that his daughter Zhang Shanshan fell in love with Li Pengcheng, who was assigned to the Guangren Township Police Station as a police officer after changing jobs.

Li Pengcheng, a demobilized soldier, is Tian Liu's comrade-in-arms, with a height of 1.75 meters, a round face, a brain door, almost bald hair in front, and a chubby body.

As the daughter of Zhang Xilin and Hu Su, Zhang Shanshan looks really cold, she is 21 years old, and no one has come to propose marriage.

In Guangren Township, girls of the same age as Zhang Shanshan have already dragged their children and daughters, and there are several children, and in the countryside, she is already an old girl.

From the day Zhang Shanshan went to the police station to run errands and saw Li Pengcheng, he fell in love with the feminine Li Pengcheng at first sight.

Some people say, "How big the heart is, how big the heaven and the earth are", Zhang Shanshan was not ashamed of his appearance, and after returning home, he announced to his mother Hu Su that she wanted to pursue Li Pengcheng and asked her mother to fully support her.

Hu Su was stunned and reached out to touch his daughter's forehead to see if her daughter had a high fever, and poured cold water, "Shanshan, you are not a toad who wants to eat swan meat." ”

Zhang Shanshan said confidently: "Mom, Li Pengcheng is the person who eats public meals at the police station, what is he most afraid of?" ”

Hu Su shook his head and looked at his daughter with a smug face.

Zhang Shanshan smiled and said: "The most afraid of eating public meals is the problem of male and female styles. ”

"Oh--" Hu Su, who suddenly realized, nodded his head with his mouth half-open and extended his thumb to his daughter.

Under the instructions of his daughter, Hu Su invited Li Pengcheng to her house for dinner from time to time under the banner that it was inconvenient for a bachelor who was working alone to eat.

Li Pengcheng's parents both work in the county seat, and there is no canteen in poor Guangren Township, and a guy who can't cook, and the problem of eating every day is the biggest headache for him.

Li Pengcheng, who went to Hu Su's house to eat, came and went, and recognized Zhang Xilin and Hu Su as his godfather and godmother, so he naturally became a godbrother and sister with Zhang Shanshan.

One day, Hu Su slaughtered the old hen that could lay eggs the most, stewed the old hen with wild mushrooms, and invited Li Pengcheng to her house for dinner.

As soon as he heard that there was chicken to eat, Li Pengcheng was in a happy mood, and he couldn't always go to his godmother's house to eat empty-handed, so he bought two bottles of Yili Daqu in the store department.

Li Pengcheng and his godfather drank wine, ate fragrant chicken, and chatted while eating like a father and son.

Seeing that Li Pengcheng hadn't drunk much, Hu Su kicked Zhang Xilin's foot under the table with his foot.

Zhang Xilin knew his wife's plan, and he had already drunk a lot of money, so for the happiness of his daughter's life, he risked his old life to accompany the young Li Pengcheng to push the cup and send the lamp.
