It took nearly three days for the train to arrive in Yanjing, and it was exactly seven o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Yanjing, and the scene at this time was completely different from Li Xiaoqing's memory when he was a child. When he was five or six years old and began to be sensible, Chen Shouyi's favorite thing was to drink tea in the teahouse at the railway station and freight station.

Chen Shouyi almost opened from 10 o'clock at noon to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, listened to books, ate some melon seeds, ate some snacks, met an acquaintance from time to time, accosted a few words, chatted about the grievances of the rivers and lakes, and gossip, but now this place has long been replaced by an agricultural and sideline product supply and marketing cooperative. Although the name has been changed, the common people are still enthusiastic, and early in the morning, someone lined up with tofu tickets in their hands to buy tofu.

Li Xiaoqing did not join in the fun, but honestly followed Zhang Yanzi to her eldest brother's house, the bus that the two of them sat on, it took more than an hour to arrive, and the car was crowded enough, Li Xiaoqing and their luggage were thrown on the roof of the car, Zhang Yanzi was afraid that the car would be too bumpy, and the luggage would fall, so he told Li Xiaoqing to tighten it before getting in the car, but when he got off the car, it was difficult to unload the luggage, Li Xiaoqing was tied to the dead button, and the driver scolded and scolded, and the posture was as if Li Xiaoqing owed him 180,000.

This finally arrived at the military compound, Li Xiaoqing and Zhang Yanzi arrived at her brother's house, this house used to be a two-story building with a single courtyard, which was Zhang Zhen's residence in the past, and was later burned down, and now it is rebuilt, and it is much more spacious than before. Zhang Yanzi didn't dare to recognize this as her home at first sight.

When Li Xiaoqing came, Zhang Yanzi wrote a letter to her sister-in-law and informed her of the approximate time, and his sister-in-law asked for leave on this day in advance, waiting for her sister-in-law and her third uncle at home.

Zhang Yanzi knocked on the door and opened the door It was a little boy about ten years old wearing a green military uniform, with tender meat on his face and a mouth full of oil, obviously he had just eaten something good, and he looked at Zhang Yanzi in a daze at this time, and he didn't know what to call it.

"Sister, who are you looking for?"

"Little brother, is this Zhang Ruixiang's family?"

"Yes, Zhang Ruixiang is my father!" After listening to the child, Zhang Yanzi also knew that this little guy was his nephew, but he didn't expect to grow so big.

"Then what's your name?" Zhang Yanzi pinched the little guy's face and asked with a grin.

"My name is Zhang Huizhong" The little guy got rid of his aunt's hand, shyly touched the little face that had just been ravaged, and shouted, "Mom, there is a guest at home." ”

"Xiao Zhong, who's coming?"

"A beautiful big sister and a big brother. ”

"Ahh

"Sister Xiaobai, how is it, my brother has bullied you a lot in the past few years!" This woman's name is Tian Xiaobai, his father Tian Jun is Zhang Zhen's old comrade-in-arms, and there is a younger brother at home, three or four years older than Zhang Yanzi, Tian Xiaobai is ten years older than Zhang Yanzi, he took good care of Yanzi when he was a child, Zhang Yanzi's brother Zhang Ruixiang chased this Tian Xiaobai for so many years with "bad intentions" when he was a child, and finally got it. As for Tian Xiaobai's current identity as a military doctor in internal medicine, her teacher was a leading medical figure in China at that time, Tian Xiaobai had studied in the Soviet Union before, so she was the deputy chief physician of Capital Medical University at a young age, and her reputation in Yanjing was still very loud.

"Who is this?" Tian Xiaobai looked at Li Xiaoqing, whose hair was messy, and was very curious.

"He is my senior brother, and my grandfather was a closed disciple who was idle and had nothing to accept in the past few years!" Zhang Yanzi and Li Xiaoqing are too familiar with each other, and they are quite disgusted with this kid.

"Is he the third uncle?" Tian Xiaobai thought that his third uncle should also be an old Taoist priest with white hair, but he didn't expect that he was a young man about the same age as his sister-in-law, but this Tian Xiaobai blamed her husband for not explaining it in the letter.

"Sister, where do I live?" because it's already November, the weather is still quite cold, Li Xiaoqing is wearing a green military coat, he hasn't changed his clothes along the way, he is not a person who loves cleanliness, this coat is greasy and greasy by him, and the buttons on the front placket don't know where to go.

"Uncle, your room is next to each other, Dad, the room on the left on the second floor, uncle, you should change your clothes first, do you think Ruixiang's clothes are suitable?"

"Okay, as long as you can wear it. Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you find him a few dark clothes, Xiaoqing he is not particular about clothes!" Zhang Yanzi was embarrassed to tell her sister-in-law that Li Xiaoqing lacked a string in his brain, and he liked to cause trouble everywhere, and he could get this clothes dirty in less than a day.

"Hui Zhong will follow the third grandfather to take a bath later. ”

"Mom, I just washed it a few days ago!" Zhang Huizhong said reluctantly.

"Obedient, I'll come back later with shaqima and cheese. ”

"Well, then I'll go with my eldest brother!"

"What's your name? "That Tian Xiaobai knows that his father-in-law values this kind of thing the most, if the old man comes back, Hui Zhong will not shout big or small, the old man will be angry again, and Hui Zhong and his father will have to beat Hui Zhong again.

"Eldest sister, is there cheese? Fruit cheese, milk fruit?" Li Xiaoqing used to be in ****, the capital wanted to fight the black five categories, and the people who made pastries in the city were not less fought, Old Man Chen used to say that in the early years of the Republic of China, there were more than 20 cheese makers, and the Qiqi Incident left Heshunxing in the door frame alley and the Fengsheng Gong in Dong'an Market.

And Fengsheng Gong was opened by the palace thinking that the eunuch opened, and the craftsmanship was passed down from the palace back then, in addition to cheese, there were various dairy products such as milk dumplings and milk uta, and later caught up with this ********, and the store was closed. Chen Shouyi had a good relationship with the boss, Li Xiaoqing was still very young when he was picked up by Chen Shouyi, so the old man Chen took the little cub to the master of the Fengsheng Gong who was sent to the People's Commune to ask for some milk and fruit for Li Xiaoqing to eat.

"Even if you don't have it, you have to queue up to buy it. Tian Xiaobai said this, but he thought in his heart: Little ancestor, where can I get that thing for you?

Li Xiaoqing and Hui Zhong went to take a bath, and Hui Zhong saw Li Xiaoqing wearing the major military coat that his father wore when he was the battalion commander, wearing calfskin military boots on his feet, and his grandfather's yellow tweed military hat, which was really handsome. But the little guy was not convinced, his father was the fastest to rise from battalion commander to regiment commander, so this dress looked very new, and Hui Zhong was still thinking about when to let his mother change this dress to be worn by himself.

However, Li Xiaoqing, who was stupid and had been away from Beijing for many years, did not know that the streets in 1974 were full of adrenaline, and the boys and girls in the government compound and the army compound were like wild horses that had escaped the reins. The red banners, quotes, and badges were like whips on the backs of these wild horses, causing them to knock over everything in sight.

In these years, those who wear military uniforms are a little capable, and the players in the capital almost know each other, even if they don't know each other, they are idle and have nothing to do under the alley, and the military uniforms of various fabrics were sought-after goods at that time.

Li Xiaoqing also found out that he was followed by four or five idle young people, and he didn't care, probably going to take a bath on the way.

"Alas, boy, where did you get these clothes?" Li Xiaoqing saw that he was going to the bathhouse, but the young men stopped him.

"My sister-in-law gave it to me. "Li Xiaoqing used to live in Beijing, and he spoke standard Beijing dialect with a sound, and at that time, the people who spoke with a sound were basically children from Hutongs, and the children in the military compound spoke standard Mandarin. Li Xiaoqing's face is born, and the military coat on his body is still new, which is also unfortunate, these guys are from the artillery compound, and one of their brothers happened to be robbed a while ago, and the waistcoat and pants were stripped of in the winter.

You may ask, why are you robbing and picking up other people's clothes? Of course, you can also dress (B) in addition to wearing them!

The men covered their hands and stomped their feet, and one of them simply said, "Who are you messing with? My brother's skin dares to pick up?

"Well, what are you doing here?"

"Third master, let's make trouble today, hurry up!" Hui Zhong, this kid saw that the people who came were not easy to mess with, and he was about to run away with Li Xiaoqing, but Li Xiaoqing was so strong, which little guy dragged and moved.

"Get out of here, I still have something to do!" Li Xiaoqing didn't use any force, took this person's hand, and stopped him with his back foot, and this person flew to a row of self-portrait cars parked in front of the bathhouse, and he was knocked down at once.

"Why are you still watching, go on!" The five young men pounced without saying anything, Li Xiaoqing almost put down one by one, blocked, pushed, sliding, belted, and didn't make any dead moves, just the boys who hit shrank on the ground like a shrimp, and saw that Hui Zhong's jaw was about to fall to the ground.

"Let's go, Hui Zhong, let's take a shower. With that, he pulled Zhang Huizhong into the bathhouse.
