Fengcheng old events

Chapter 7 Settlement
There is only one yard and one side house left in the house that the Liu family entered.Where did the hut become a dormitory, and some people in military uniforms came in and out, looking over here from time to time.

The old man said: "It's not bad. At the beginning, I took all of them, but then I don't know why I came back to be so one-sided. It's good. I can't die outside. Your husband's family didn't even keep a room. It was changed to the headquarters, and the whole family was thrown to a few huts on the edge of the city."

Liu Huaqi turned his head to look at He Zishan who was following behind. He Zishan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's different. I've already discussed it with Qingduizi. There is always a solution. Back then, your family was a businessman. You The father-in-law is a pure landlord with policies."

Liu Huaqi nodded slowly, and said: "It's all run by my own stitch by stitch. The house built brick by tile bought the land, and the land was confiscated. Why can't I lose my place to live, right? "

In fact, most of the landlords are very difficult, reluctant to eat and wear, save money to buy land and build a house, and carefully manage the family business to make it bigger.The land is all bought, and it cannot be said that there is no such thing as oppression and occupation in the movie, but it is very rare.

At that time, the social structure was different, and there was no real difference between the social class of the landlords and the poor peasants. It was just that while they were counting carefully, they drank and gambled, and some were lazy, so their living conditions were naturally different.

I once laughed at the stinginess of the landlord by eating a salted duck egg for several days. Is this stinginess?Poor peasants who owe money to drink and go to gambling stalls are bold?At that time, the casino was legal, but there were not many rich people in it.

In fact, people back then were no different than they are now, just human nature.

He Zishan was a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter, don't worry."

Only then did the old man see He Zishan who was following behind, he smiled and nodded: "Master Jun." He Zishan was also wearing a military uniform.

He Zishan waved his hands and said, "Old man, don't call me that. Comrade Hua Qi and I are friends. You can call me Xiaohe, or Zishan. You are the elder."

Tears flashed in the eyes of the old man, and he concealed the past very well. It has been a few years, he was frightened, people were in panic, the land was gone, the house was confiscated, and the house was taken. Everything has changed for the better. It seems that returning the house and property is also the reason for the eldest son.The boss is promising.

Turning to look at the second child who was following the eldest son with an excited face, he couldn't help shaking his head.But the old man didn't think about it. The eldest son has been outside for more than ten years, and the family is supported by the second son. Which one is not the second one who is in charge of the family?
As time goes by and you get closer, all you see is the shortcomings, and you can't see the benefits. This is why after a long time as a husband and wife, no matter how good you are to her, you can't compare to an outsider's look.

Liu Huawen called his daughter-in-law and children out to help the elder brother's house clean up and put things away. Liu Huaqi took Zhang Jingyi and accompanied He Zishan and the old man to talk in the main room, while Liu Zhaorui stood by and waited on him.In this day and age, family education is quite strict, and one must observe etiquette.

After He Zishan left, Liu Huaqi said to the old man, "Dad, I'll take Jing Yi to see Mom, and then I'll take her back to the room to rest. She's pregnant, so I'm afraid she's tired from the journey."

The old man nodded in agreement, patted Liu Zhaorui on the shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Go. You are a young man. If you see what is missing in the house, come and tell grandpa."

At that time, strict fathers were emphasized. Fathers usually kept a serious face in front of their children and wanted to maintain their majesty, but they often changed their face in front of their grandchildren, and they were extremely kind.

Liu Zhaorui bowed and agreed, and the family left the main room and came to the west room.

Mrs. Liu was lying on the kang with a water bowl next to her head.There was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room.

It was raining a few days ago and caught a cold. Now the long-term servants and servants in the family are gone, and I have to do things by myself, but the old lady has been a big wife all her life, so where can she do any work?I just bit the bullet and went, and I was angry, so I fell ill.

Mrs. Liu married two wives. The old lady was the main wife. She had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was Liu Huaqi, the youngest son drowned in the river, and the daughter was married.

Liu Huawen was born in a partial house, and his second brother left with the army early.During the chaos a few years ago, Liu Huawen's mother left with her youngest son, saying that she was looking for his second brother, and since then there has been no news.

Liu Huawen didn't even know whether his second brother was in the army of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party. He also had letters, but his mother didn't show them to him.

Liu Huaqi brought Zhang Jingyi and Liu Zhaorui into the house, walked to the old lady, and called softly: "Mom."

The old lady still closed her eyes but did not open them, she just snorted softly.

Liu Huaqi reached out his hand to touch the old lady's forehead, it was hot, and said to Liu Zhaorui, "Go get some aspirin from the medical box." Liu Zhaorui nodded and walked out. With one hand, he said, "Mom, I'm Hua Qi, and I've brought my wife and children back."

The old lady moved her eyes, slowly opened them, and looked at Liu Huaqi hard, and when she saw clearly, her hands were tightly grasped, her mouth trembled but she didn't speak.

Liu Huaqi said: "I asked Zhaorui to get the western medicine. After taking it and sleeping for a while, it will be fine. Don't worry."

In fact, the old lady is only 46 and seven years old, which is a good time for future generations, but in this age, she is already a real old man.The old man is less than fifty, and the second aunt who left is even younger, only 42 years old this year.At that time, marriage was early, and girls at the age of thirteen or fourteen were married and had children everywhere.

Liu Zhaorui came over with the medicine, Liu Huaqi poured out the water from the bowl on the kang, poured some water from the thermos next to it, tested the temperature of the water, blew it cold, helped the old lady up, and fed her a piece Take the medicine, and then help her to lie down, wrap the remaining medicine in paper and put it next to the pillow.

Probably because seeing the eldest son relieved her heart, or maybe it was because the old lady fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine. At that time, people basically had no resistance to the medicine, so the medicine took effect very quickly, and the dosage did not need to be too large .A dose of penicillin given to an adult now would cause accidents at that time.

Liu Huaqi helped the old lady tuck the quilt, and led Zhang Jingyi and Liu Zhaorui back out gently, back to his room.

The traditional old-fashioned houses are actually not very comfortable to live in. They are low and dark. Although the northeast is not humid, there is still a faint old atmosphere in the air in the room.The room was powered on, and it looked like a light bulb that had just been turned on recently, a dim yellow incandescent light bulb, which was 25 watts or [-] watts, Liu Huaqi couldn't tell the difference.

Everything about the quilt was new, and the room was scrubbed clean. There was a wardrobe and a writing desk, and it seemed that they were delivered recently. He Zishan really put a lot of thought into it.

Liu Huaqi helped Zhang Jingyi to lie down on the kang.
