Fengcheng old events

Chapter 19 Hu Datou

The next day, Zhang Jingli hurried back to Qingdui, leaving the three dazed mothers in a strange city.

Yang Qingyuan took Zhang Jingyi's mother and three to visit the joint venture department store, and then Huayuanshan Park.At this time, the Benxi Heroes Monument has not yet been built. On the top of Huayuan Mountain is a bunker left by the Ming Dynasty army, or maybe it was left by the Japanese, who knows.

There are sparse buildings in the whole city, large bungalows and wasteland, the city hall square is just an earthen dam, the roads are hardened, they are asphalt roads, and cars of all sizes are rumbling to and fro on the road, most of the buildings are from Japan There are also new buildings left by people, all of which are Soviet-style buildings, and some are under construction.

There are loudspeakers and passionate songs that Liu Jinrong is familiar with everywhere, and red flags are flying everywhere. In industrialized cities, the atmosphere of revolution is stronger and ubiquitous.

Everywhere is the slogan of prosperity without selfishness and great progress.Huge billboards stood on the side of the road, and the giant fists of proletarian communist fighters knocked American imperialism into the dust.To overthrow the hegemony of US imperialism, all reactionaries are paper tigers.

Liu Zhaofeng carried Liu Jinrong on his back and read these slogans to her along the way.

In this period, characters are used indiscriminately, and the variants of traditional and simplified characters are alienated. You can use them as you like, and often you have to guess.

On the third day, Hu Datou, who was invited by Yang Qingyuan, came, wearing brand-new work clothes, and carrying a small brown paper bag of sugar, two boxes of big produce, two boxes of canned food, one box of meat and one box of fruit.A box of fruit is the old-fashioned plum blossom trough cake.At this point in time, it's really good stuff.

Hu Datou is a big man from eastern Shandong. He is more than 1.8 meters tall, with sideburns, wide forehead and big ears, and he talks like a cannonball.

Yang Qingyuan welcomed the people into the house, and everyone sat on the stools. Yang Qingyuan pointed to Zhang Jingyi: "This is my sister, Zhang Jingyi. My brother-in-law used to be a local cadre, and died of illness, leaving my mother and three behind. Sister, this is Hu Manjun, He came from Ludong and worked in the No. [-] Iron Works as a senior worker. His wife also passed away due to illness last year, and now she is alone."

Hu Datou rubbed his hands: "Hello, hello, um, just call me Datou, that's what the workers call me. Look at this, I'm not prepared, I'm a rough man, I don't have much education, I know how to work, and I don't know what to do. Too good at that, talk, anyway, just don’t pick. I can do anything.”

Yang Qingyuan said: "Nowadays, there is a large canteen, and everything is based on work points. The food is based on labor. My sister is weak and has two children. She can't even make up for one labor. There is really no way to live there. That's it, that's why I said to find a way to come here, this is a factory, there is always a way to survive.

If you can help, just leave a handprint and help me run around, and get the hukou of my sister and the child. As for other things, you can talk about it yourself and get in touch. As long as my sister has no objection, I have no objection.Okay?It is easy to handle anything if you have to close your account. "

Hu Datou nodded and said: "That's it, that's it. Now everything is about the household registration, the unit and the status. It will be easy to handle when it is implemented."

Yang Qingyuan said: "Then, let's settle this matter first? Okay? You go to the unit to open a letter of introduction, and I will get my sister's account. After that, let's talk about other things."

Hu Datou looked at Zhang Jingyi's bright eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled. I will open a letter of introduction tomorrow. Where is your wife and children at your house? Are you not at home?"

Yang Qingyuan handed Hu Datou a cigarette, lit a match, and said, "Ours is a new factory, and the conditions are not as good as your second railway. The house allocated is only so big, and there is no toilet. I let my daughter-in-law I took the child back to my mother's house first."

Hu Datou patted his thigh, and with a bang, Liu Jinrong, who was leaning on Zhang Jingyi's body, shrank his small body into his mother's arms in fright, staring at this strange giant without blinking.

It was the first time for her to see such a tall and strong man, with the stubble on his face glowing blue, so scary.

"It's not good, what are you doing, go to my place." Hu Datou waved his hand: "Our family doesn't talk about two different families, the conditions on my side are better than yours, and they are more lenient, just go there , I can live there. Anyway, the household registration has to be registered there, and the work is not far away.”

Yang Qingyuan glanced at Zhang Jingyi and said, "No, it's not very good, is it? That's too much trouble for you."

Hu Datou said: "What's the trouble? It's a good thing we are acquaintances. Even if things don't work, we should help. Besides, as long as my sister doesn't object, I have no objection. I don't have children, and the family will be more lively when people pass by."

Zhang Jingyi looked at his son and daughter, thought for a while and asked, "Son, are you full?"

Hu Datou said: "Yes, I can feed them with one bite, it's a trivial matter."

Zhang Jingyi said: "The child is young and needs to go to school."

Hu Datou said: "Come on, you will be successful after studying. You must be able to go in. Don't worry, I, Hu Datou, will let it go if I say so." Bangbang knocked his chest twice.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Yang Qingyuan, lowered his head, and said, "I, I don't know how to cook, I only know how to do needlework."

Hu Datou was stunned for a moment, and Yang Qingyuan said: "My sister was young when she married, and my brother-in-law is a cadre, and there are staff members in the family. My brother-in-law treated my sister like, yes, that's great, nothing. Tell her to do it. So hey hey hey hey."

Hu Datou licked his lips, stared at Zhang Jingyi for a while, and then waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't know how to do it, and I eat and drink every day, let's eat in the cafeteria. From now on, take your time and learn slowly. ,Fine?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded.

Hu Datou wiped his chin, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, it's settled. Let's go, Lao Yang, pack your things and go to my place, and you will bring your wife and children back earlier. Don't worry. , definitely not bad."

Yang Qingyuan hesitated a little, turned to look at Zhang Jingyi: "Sister."

Zhang Jingyi took a breath, looked at Liu Jinrong in his arms, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Get up and tidy up.In fact, there was nothing to pack, so Liu Zhaofeng packed the two children's things into a small bag, led Liu Jinrong, and went out with the two suitcases.

Liu Jinrong went out and looked at his brother, and saw his brother's schoolbag on his back, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took his mother's hand and followed.

Get on the bus, wobbly, cross the whole city along the road in front of the train station, cross the bridge over the Taizi River, and come to Benxi Lake.

At this time, although Benxi was already a relatively large national-level city, its population was not as large as that of later generations, and the urban area was not large. After passing the Northland, it was outside the city. The barren mountains and wild mountains were not lively until they crossed the bridge to the east side. stand up.

This side of Benxi Lake is the original main city of Benxi, and Benxi was called Benxi Lake in history.It was completely built by the Japanese because of mining needs. Benxi is the capital of coal and iron. The coal is in Caitun Shaft and the iron is in Benxi Lake. It was called Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company at that time.

Both Weitou Mountain and Nanfen were built after [-]s.
