Fengcheng old events

Chapter 20 I Want To

The bus enters Benxi Lake Road.

At this moment, the old street has not been demolished, and it is a time of prosperity. There are tall archway-style old buildings on both sides of the road, tall gates, and various signboards, especially those two crossing the street. Liu Jinrong was dazzled and dumbfounded by the dragon.The little hand held on to her mother tightly, for fear of being scattered by pedestrians on the road, forgetting that she was still sitting in the car.

The conductor yelled: "The ironworker is here, ironworker, comrades who got off the bus, take your things." The car stopped, Hu Datou stood up and picked up the suitcase: "Let's go, we're here, get off the bus."

After getting out of the car, look to the left to see Benxi Lake Railway Station. Hu Datou walked in front with a suitcase, leading everyone to go home.

Liu Jinrong tugged at his brother: "What kind of train station is this?"

Liu Zhaofeng said: "Benxi Lake, Benxi Lake Railway Station."

Liu Jinrong held his mother's hand and walked along while shaking his head and looking around: "Where's the lake? Where is the lake?"

This side is completely different from the urban area, it looks a lot older, the roads are covered with a layer of black ash, the buildings also look older, the sky is gray, and densely packed railways can be seen everywhere.

On the other side of the river is the iron factory, with tall chimneys standing upright one by one, belching black and white smoke.

There are factory buildings on the side of the road, and from time to time there is a bang, or the sound of machines running, and the arc light of electric welding.

Most of the men and women on the street were wearing the work clothes of the iron factory, and some of their faces were smeared with jet black, and they smiled and showed their white teeth.Big cars honked their horns and drove down the street, kicking up dust.

After walking for a while and turning a few turns, there were no tall buildings, but a large area of ​​bungalows, but they were taller and larger than usual. This was originally a Japanese-built house.

Hu Datou said: "Here we are, here it is. This side is busier than your side, and there are more shops. There are also more people."

Yang Qingyuan looked around and said, "The factory is being remodeled over there. In the future, the main force will still be there. Now the city is building everywhere, and there are more and more people. After all, this side is a bit biased. "

Hu Datou put down the box and picked the key to open the door, and said: "Who knows, anyway, the factory is full of people. Come, come in, come in."

A large group of people walked past the door with the slogan "Return to selfishness and return", shouting slogans constantly, and even the driving cars stopped far away on the side of the road to wait for the crowd to pass by.

Hu Datou turned his head to look, and Yang Qingyuan asked: "Is the movement big on your side? We just held a few conferences on our side."

Hu Datou picked up the suitcase and walked into the yard, saying, "Come in and tell me. It was done by the workers' propaganda team. How can the factory have time to do these things? Now the higher-ups are going to be engaged in large-scale production, and the production tasks are too busy."

Yang Qingyuan said: "Industry and agriculture are making great strides, surpassing Britain and the United States in three to five years. If there is such a day, will we be considered the most powerful country?"

Hu Datou opened the door of the inner room and said, "I don't know about the British. Americans are so good that we can beat them down. It's nothing special."

Everyone entered the room and sat down on the edge of the kang. Hu Datou went to get the thermos and rice bowls to pour water, and asked Yang Qingyuan: "Have you finished the quota for returning from the factory?"

Yang Qingyuan nodded and said, "It's been done a long time ago. Anyway, our workers are just chanting a few slogans. Whether it is true or not is a matter of the above."

Hu Datou said: "We are still fighting here, but it should be soon. If you talk, keep shouting. It doesn't count if we say it. It's better to mix less. I'm two houses, and the three of you will live here first. Let’s go to the big house, I live in it, and the luggage and quilts are all ready-made, so don’t worry about it, just get together for a few days, and I’ll buy a few new ones when things are settled.”

Yang Qingyuan nodded, and said: "I can't afford to mix it up. The front is still in the Ming Dynasty, and then it will turn around and start to rectify. These days, it's too much to say, and it's better to live life honestly. The outside things have nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter. Just do your part."

Hu Datou poured a small bowl of water for both Liu Zhaofeng and Liu Jinrong, and said to Zhang Jingyi, "Have you brought your household registration book?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded and looked at Yang Qingyuan.

Yang Qingyuan said: "I brought it here. I will help my sister with the formalities. It is inconvenient for her to take the child with her."

Hu Datou said: "You have to come in person to get stamped. The child will be put at home first, and the door will be locked. It will be safe. You can eat and play. You sit down for a while, and I will go to the cafeteria to get some food and come back. After that, let's go to the street."

Hu Datou took two big aluminum lunch boxes and a big enamel pot and went out. Yang Qingyuan walked around the room and asked Zhang Jingyi: "Sister, how do you feel? Do you think it's okay? If it's okay, it's fine to live here good."

Zhang Jingyi said: "As long as the child can eat enough, he can go to school. I can learn the work slowly. As long as the child is well."

Yang Qingyuan said: "Let's look at it for a few days and get the household registration first. Let's discuss it later, okay? You take the children to live here for a few days, and it's really inconvenient for me to live here.

Take the [-]th road from here, until the end is my house, do you remember?If you have anything to do, just come to me, the ticket is five cents, and you must prepare the change in advance.Don't take your things out, put them away and lock them up. "

Zhang Jingyi nodded, and pulled Liu Jinrong into his arms. He was at a loss and helpless, but he could only bear it, because she had nothing to do, and her child's survival was her only hope, or the only thing she could say. belief.

Liu Zhaofeng sat on the side with his mouth pursed and said nothing. He is ten years old and understands something.Liu Jinrong looked around the house with his mother's arm, and looked out through the window, full of curiosity: "Mom, are we going to live here in the future? It's such a big house, bigger than our original one."

Yang Qingyuan said: "It is true that living here is better than mine. The house is bigger and there is a yard. There are grape vines in this yard."

Liu Jinrong climbed onto the kang, climbed to the window and looked out: "Are there any grapes? What are the vines like? Mom, the grapes are so sweet." The little girl took a sip of her saliva and lay down on the glass to look into the yard.

In fact, the yard is not big, less than twenty square meters, piled with sundries, coal shed, bicycle Hu Datou just rode away, there are toilets and dry toilets in the corner, the cesspit is covered with stone slabs outside the courtyard wall, and there will be sanitation regularly The dung collectors came and took the dung away.

There is only one vine, which climbs on a small wooden frame. It is crooked and has the size of a few square meters. It is a mountain grape, and the fruit is only the size of a little finger.

Yang Qingyuan searched for it, and took out a pair of scissors from under the kang cabinet, and said, "Jin Baoer, wait a minute, my uncle is going to cut grapes for you." He went out with the scissors.Liu Jinrong's eyes lit up, he kept swallowing, and pressed his small face tightly against the glass to watch.A child's world is to eat.

Zhang Jingyi asked his son: "Zhaofeng, do you think this place is okay?"

Liu Zhaofeng looked around the room, shook his head and said, "I don't know. Mom, can't we just stay at Uncle's house?"

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said, "Our family has no labor and cannot enter the cafeteria. Your uncle can't afford us."

Liu Zhaofeng said: "I go out to work, I work as a laborer."

Zhang Jingyi stretched out his hand and hugged his son into his arms: "You are still young, go out when you grow up, when my son grows up, mom won't be afraid of anything." Liu Zhaofeng nodded and hummed vigorously.

Liu Jinrong turned around: "Mom, brother, what? I want it too."

Zhang Jingyi laughed all of a sudden, and his heart brightened a lot.
