At this time, Li Changsheng was leaning against the toad stone, playing the harmonica for his wife, and he was still a household name in that era.

Yes! Nanjing, my lovely hometown.

Yes! nanking

When will it be back to you, you are beside you

Blue in the sky

White clouds are flying

Beautiful Yangtze Lakeside

It is my lovely ancient city of Nanjing

My hometown

Yes! A rainbow-like bridge

Straight into the sky

Across Long Lake

The mighty Zhongshan

The tiger is in my hometown

Goodbye to Mom

Goodbye, hometown

Golden student days

It has been recorded in the annals of youth

Gone

Yes! How difficult the road ahead is

How long

The pace of life

Deeply embedded in a remote foreign land

Follow the sun

With the moon returns

Repair the earth heavily

It is a glorious and sacred vocation

My fate, ah......

This toad stone is the red medium where Li Changsheng and Liu Juan are holding hands.

Li Changsheng is a top student of Harbin Institute of Technology, graduated in 1968 and returned to Nanjing to work, he wrote a letter of determination to the organization with the dream of "the countryside is a vast world, where you can make great achievements", to go to the most difficult place in the motherland to support the construction of the motherland, without approval, but as a construction talent, he was sent to the 6806 factory, which is now the shoe mountain lake textile factory.

In 1980, the last group of intellectual youths who went to the mountains and went to the countryside returned to the city left, but Li Changsheng still stayed. Even his son Li Zhijie followed him and didn't leave.

He wants to accompany the girl named Liu Juan for a long time, and he will never be separated in the toad stone.

At that time, there was a girl named Liu Juan who graduated from Jiangxi University of Technology and was also assigned to Factory 6806, a generation of poor peasants. Unexpectedly, it was this girl who let Li Changsheng stay in Shoe Mountain Lake for the rest of his life.

It was a stormy night, the asbestos tiles in the factory warehouse were removed, everyone covered the cloth with a rain cloth, but people had to stand hand in hand and press, that night Li Changsheng pulled Liu Juan to stand all night, the day was dawn, the rain slowly stopped, at that time Li Changsheng's master Zheng Xiaohua made a joke, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with him, which made both of them red, but the smile on their faces could not be suppressed, so that his master saw fate and hope.

The snow in Shoe Mountain Lake seems to be so white that it makes people's hearts white, and Li Changsheng feels that this snow is difficult to give people a romantic imagination.

But that year was different, because he felt that the snow was warm and warmed his heart.

When I first arrived at Shoe Mountain Lake Textile, they were all a group of hairy children, and they were very ambitious. After work, the cat is upgraded in the dormitory, drinking a glass of wine or something.

That day, Li Changsheng got up, and he and Wei Juan made an appointment to go to Zhuling Middle School to borrow books after lunch. I went to Zhuling Middle School to borrow books, and occasionally read two books, so it was common to go to Zhuling Middle School, what "John Christopher", what "Red and Black", "Red Rock", and it seems that "The Quiet Don River" have all been turned over. Later, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", as for "Dream of Red Mansions", I have turned it over many times, I have improvised, and sometimes I don't have the heart to watch it, that Lin Daiyu makes people unable to watch it, too petty bourgeoisie, and makes people moody. As for whether he has finished reading it, until now, he has no idea in his heart.

The two of them walked over the mountains and mountains in the snow, walked for an hour, and did not go far, anyway, it was only three or four miles to Zhuling Middle School, and they walked slowly, and they were not in a hurry.

They were talking and laughing, as if there was not a chill at all. Due to the heavy snow, Liu Juan accidentally slipped into the ditch while going downhill, but the person was fine, but the shoes under her feet were wet. It's freezing on this day, and it's a big deal if your shoes get wet, and if you don't get your steps right, you'll freeze.

The book couldn't be found, so Li Zhijie decisively decided to go back to the factory. Li Changsheng saw that there were villagers on the side of the road cutting down the trunk of the tree for the winter, he patted off the snow on the trunk, helped Liu Juan to sit down, he quickly took off the wet shoes for her, and quickly nestled her feet in his arms, Liu Juan's face turned red, she wanted to retract from the bottom of her feet, but a warm feeling like spring from the soles of her feet, rushed into her heart, she didn't move anymore, estimated the work of half a pillar of incense, Li Changsheng estimated that Liu Juan's feet had recovered, He immediately untied his scarf and wrapped her feet tightly, and neatly removed a shoelace to tie her feet tightly.

Li Changsheng looked at Liu Juan, lowered his head and said to her, "I'll carry you home!" ”

Liu Juan didn't make a sound, and the cold wind became tighter than ever.

Li Changsheng tied the two shoes with another shoelace and carried them in his hands, without waiting for Liu Juan to reflect, he hugged Liu Juan, Liu Juan was startled, but did not struggle, the world seemed to stand still, she only heard her heart beating faster, only heard Li Changsheng's footsteps sonorous and powerful, this power was enough for her to let go of all her shyness.

I don't know how long I walked, a drop of sweat fell on Liu Juan's face, and the crystal warm beads of sweat had a charming atmosphere, which made Liu Juan intoxicated. When I arrived at Shangqiao Village, there was a straw pile of villagers on the side of the road, the grass pile had already used up a small half, and there was no snow on the leeward side, Li Changsheng said that he would rest here for a while before leaving, Liu Juan smiled, she didn't dare to make a sound, she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the uncontrollable excitement would be completely conquered by Li Changsheng.

After resting for about half an hour, Li Changsheng said that he wanted to leave, Liu Juan said to rest again, Li Changsheng sat down again, she really didn't want to leave in her heart, she was afraid that she would arrive at the factory in a while, and she inexplicably wanted to stay with Li Changsheng for a while. Of course, she didn't want to let Li Changsheng walk into the factory in broad daylight, she estimated in her heart that if she returned to the factory after dark, she might not meet anyone.

Sitting and sitting, Liu Juan didn't say to leave, and Li Changsheng didn't say to leave.

Seeing that it was a little late, Li Changsheng said to go home, Liu Juan smiled: "You carry me!" ”

He knew that Liu Juan felt sorry for him.

He bent down and leaned his back in front of Liu Juan, because Liu Juan's feet were tied, and she almost lay on Li Changsheng's body.

Li Changsheng sang happily:

Sister, you're wet

Brother has nothing to say about you

Walked village after village

My brother really doesn't want to go back to the factory......

In this way, in the cold wind, they walked for a rest and slowly walked towards the factory.

In the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory, Li Changsheng is famous.

The traffic conditions of the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory are very inconvenient, and the daily necessities are seriously lacking, and these objective conditions have followed from the day the workers arrived. The supply and marketing cooperatives of Toad House became the only place where you could get daily necessities at that time, and it took an hour to walk to get there, and many things had to be supplied by ticket.

The administrative division of the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory belongs to the local area, but the lifestyle of the employees is completely colorful. From the economically developed central cities of the country to the poor areas by the Shoshan Lake, parcels from all over the country are sent every day.

In order to solve the daily life of the workers, Li Zhijie's parents in Nanjing continuously sent daily necessities including soap, matches, cigarettes, straw paper, towels, handkerchiefs, civil wires, flashlights, batteries, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap powder, scented soap, rubber shoes, plastic shoes, basins, aluminum pots, cups, hot water bottles, needles, buttons, pencils, iridium pens, exercise books, stationery, envelopes, paper, candy, sugar, and salt soda. In that period of material poverty, his bag of things helped many people.

Especially penicillin, which is a drug that is in short supply, and some of them are even life-saving. At that time, Zheng Xiaohua had acute nephritis and looked for this medicine everywhere, and later Li Zhijie's father Bang found more than 100 in Nanjing, which was only available at that time. Zheng Xiaohua always said that her life was given by Li Changsheng's family, and it can also be said that she and Li Changsheng's family are friends of three generations.

In the hands of the workers of Xiaoshoeshanhu Textile Factory, these supplies from Nanjing have another unexpected function in addition to their due function, that is, to trade with local villagers in exchange for goods, so as to achieve what they need.

Originally, the Shoshan Lake Textile Factory did not need cloth, but some companies still applied to the front, and after the cloth was in hand, Li Zhijie sent it to Nanjing to exchange for what they needed. At that time, the most popular was the soap ticket, because the soap supplied by Nanjing was much better than the quality of Shoshan Lake, it is said that the soap produced by Shoe Mountain Lake could not be rubbed into foam after half a piece, and the workers of the small Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory could exchange a piece of soap for more than a dozen eggs.

After the basic daily use can be solved, eating is faced with the problem, the supply of vegetables is difficult to guarantee, meat is not common, I wanted to meet the needs of workers through the vegetables grown in the local countryside, but found that the supply capacity of vegetables in most areas of the local area is limited, and some areas can be described as a scarcity. As a result, the workers of the Shoshan Lake Textile Factory began to look for food self-sufficiency through various channels. In the eyes of the locals, it is impossible to put on the table things but become the delicacies on the tongue of the workers, crabs, yellow eels, soft-shelled turtles, hemp, "seafood agricultural and sideline products", soon became the first choice for the rear workers to improve their lives, holidays, weekends have become the days of the workers' tooth sacrifice. After a long time, the locals also began to join the ranks of catching "delicious" in the field, and the villagers with a bit of brains even started to do business with Shanghainese.

Eggs cost eight cents a pound, crabs a dime a pound, there is no pot to put in the copper kettle to steam, boil, eight or ten to eat, the local people do not eat these things, even happier than in Shanghai. Sesame, pecans, peanuts and other local foods produced in mountainous areas have also become the first choice for employees of Xiaoshoe Shanhu Textile Factory to return to Shanghai to visit relatives.

Every Chinese New Year, some of the things that Shanghai rationed can be purchased in unlimited quantities from the villagers' homes in southern Anhui, and the workers who return to Shanghai for the New Year will bring back to Shanghai these products that are difficult to guarantee sufficient supply in Shanghai.

In the face of such consumption potential, the locals in southern Anhui have smelled the business opportunities, raising the price of vegetables has become the only choice, to buy vegetables in the hands of the locals, selling to Shanghainese is more expensive than selling to the locals, the workers in the discovery of this phenomenon, when going to buy vegetables, began to learn to speak the local dialect, so that the vegetables can naturally be bought cheap.

People really drank Li Changzheng and Liu Juan's happy wine, and the organization did it for them, which was very simple, but full of happiness, and soon gave birth to a son, Li Zhijie. When the family didn't go to work, they fished, sang, and played the harmonica by the shoe mountain lake, and those days were really sweet and enviable.

However, a mudslide swallowed up the happiness of a family, it was one day in the spring of 1979, Liu Juan was checking the quality of cotton in the warehouse, and suddenly, a mudslide burst from the back mountain, and the whole mountain fell halfway, and Liu Juan unfortunately died on the job.

Li Changsheng buried his wife on the hill next to the toad stone where their family often sang, where it faced the shoe mountain lake, spring flowers and autumn moon, summer wind and winter snow, as beautiful and charming as Liu Juan.

Liu Juan has no brothers and sisters, her father had lung disease and died early, she was only three years old that year, and when she had lung disease, she was waiting to die, and there was no good medicine to treat. She has an elder brother who died in the war on Zhenbao Island, and now there is only one old lady, Li Changsheng took the old lady to the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory, and the two of them are a family of three who depend on each other, and they live with a smile on their faces.

As the saying goes, "The dead woman is still there, and the woman is buried when she dies." Li Changsheng's actions made the cadres and workers of the whole factory respect him for three points, and Liu Juan's mother also said when she saw people that it was difficult to find such a filial son-in-law with lanterns.

This is also true, there are a lot of unfilial children, and it is a son-in-law, Liu Lao has such a son-in-law is indeed the result of three lives.

Li Changsheng's parents are retired in Shanghai, live a carefree life, and they also come to Shoshan Lake to live for a few days every year, and they like that the wind here is sweet.

Li Changsheng never wanted to leave the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory again, he couldn't bear to leave his wife alone on the shore of Shoe Mountain Lake, he wanted to accompany his wife forever and ever.

He said that he liked the shoes of the mountain and the lake, and the waves were like his wife whispering, which made him feel comfortable listening to it.
