Fengcheng old events

Chapter 94
Summer came and went, and autumn came.

Autumn in the city didn't seem to change much, everything was the same, except that the old poplar trees on both sides of the road shed some leaves, and people wore more clothes.The seasons in the city are not as sensitive and beautiful as in the countryside.

Liu Guixin began to miss the maple forest in his hometown again. The bright red all over the mountains and plains is so charming.

Benxi County has been known as the Huangshan Mountain in the Northeast and Guilin in the Northeast since ancient times. If it is not located in the hinterland of the Northeast, it would have already become a place like the West Mountain of Qindao.

Even so, it has long since become a national-level scenic spot and was rated as the Maple Capital of China.A small town full of maple trees.At that time, the common people did not know that the trees with red leaves all over the mountains and plains in autumn were called maple trees, so they called them red leaves.

Hongye Lake, Hongye Mountain, Hongye Valley, Hongyegou, such place names are everywhere.

……

Sure enough, Zhang Qingzhi was transferred to the factory headquarters as an investigator of party history.Joining the party in this era is serious and rigorous, so it is extremely glorious.

Zhang Qingzhi's investigation team is responsible for the historical investigation of party applicants: three generations of investigations.It is also necessary to check all the places he has been to and the life he has experienced. Only the qualified red stamp of the investigation team is stamped on the party application form, and he is eligible to join the party.

All the personnel in charge of the investigation must be red and professional old party members, and they must be people who have been proven to be able to unswervingly follow the party's footsteps.Zhang Qingzhi's six-year military career and four-year party membership gave him this qualification.

After entering the investigation team, he began to enjoy the treatment of cadres, and the conditions of the small family went up to a small level, but what followed was business trips, business trips, and endless business trips.Liu Guixin hugged her son and waited at the door every day.

When I'm not on a business trip, I look forward to Zhang Qing leaving get off work, and I like to watch him walk over in the sunset with a lunch box in his pocket.Looking forward to his return after a business trip, I feel the joy of his sudden appearance in front of me.

She is really too free. Every day, she cleans up the small house, cooks a meal, and then just sits there with her son in her arms, or walks around the small yard a few times, chatting with the sister-in-law of the Wei family, but in the countryside After living for a long time, it is always impossible to talk about going together.

Sitting there with nothing to do, when her son fell asleep, she started to think wildly, thinking of mother, home, and Zhang Qingzhi, always worried about what happened to him when he was away from home.The world out there is really full of risks right now.

Every day, I listen to the loudspeakers outside talking about doctrine, revolution, class, movement, and battle. I watch the big cars pull the red armbands and drive past. I watch the crowds shouting slogans. It is said that this place was captured, whoever won the battle there, and people were arrested there.

Liu Guixin felt that he had entered an unknown world, full of fear and danger everywhere.

Only Zhang Qingzhi's silly smile can make her feel at ease.

She likes to sit quietly on the kang, watch Zhang Qingzhi eat with big mouthfuls, and tell herself about the outside world, about places where she only knows the name, or even the name has never been heard.

Non-staple food and department stores are very close to where they live temporarily, and it takes only 3 minutes to walk there. The grain station, non-staple food, and department stores are located on two floors. The first floor is a non-staple food store and grain station. Worker activity station.

From home to the store and back from the store, this is the scope of Liu Guixin's activities.The coal and loess were all prepared by Zhang Qingzhi, so she didn't need to take care of them.

Now she is proficient at carrying water and coal, and tending the coal stove.The water is in the yard, a pressurized well.

"Mom."

"Ah? Son, can you call mom? Call again, call again. Mom. Call, mom."

The son who was able to support Kang Yan to stand for a while just now was so anxious that Liu Guixin hugged him and made a specious remark, which made Liu Guixin so excited that he hugged and coaxed him for a long time without waiting for the next sentence.

Then Liu Guixin has one more thing every day, teasing the chubby son who always frowns to call his mother.

"Son. Call mom, ask mom to give Tangtang, do you want it?"

"Baby, call mom, call, call mom. Mom. Mom."

"If you call me mother, hug it. Do you want to call me? No hug. Ouch, hug, hug, don't cry, don't cry."

Liu Guixin's son loves to cry very much, and he has a loud voice, coupled with his small and sturdy body, it's like darkness when he cries.Then Liu Guixin would think, what was he like when he was a child?Do you love to cry too?What is it like to cry?At that time, my mother must have been tired and annoying but liked it.

Then I thought about my mother a little bit, thinking about how my mother looked when she was young, and now she has become a real peasant woman, her hair is gray, her back is bent, and her eyes are broken because the lights have not been on for many years.Thinking of these things, Liu Guixin felt like crying.

She took out the bookkeeping book, wrote it down carefully, and bought a pair of flower glasses for her mother.

When she arrived in the city, she began to keep accounts. Every penny that came in and every penny that was spent in the family was recorded in detail. How much money must be spent every month, how much money may be spent, All planned out in advance.

There is no way, she has no job and no household registration, and she depends on Zhang Qingyi's salary, so she has to plan carefully.

Now there is another mouth in the family, but fortunately, she still has enough milk, so she doesn't have to worry about her son for the time being.

At the end of October, the autumn wind is cool, and the city is not as cold as the countryside, but I have added thick clothes and put on a sweater.

Zhang Qingzhi came back from a business trip and stayed for one night, went to buy flower glasses, took the boots and raincoat he had prepared, and returned to Zhangjiabao with the fine grains he saved from his mouth.Boots and raincoats are rare items in the countryside. Although cooperatives also sell them, no one is willing to buy them, nor can they afford them.

Zhang Qingzhi's food for the two of them was replaced by coarse grains, except for the ones they were going to bring back for the elderly, so that they could have more.

Two elderly people, a family of ten catties of rice and ten catties of noodles, this is the limit that two people can save.

Use an army green canvas travel bag to roll up and stuff everything into it, rice noodles, raincoats and rain boots, black five eyes, cotton-padded jackets and trousers made by Bengang, work clothes, fruits, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and water alkali.Things that people in later generations can't understand at all have to be carried back and forth like this at this time.

The two travel bags were full, and the handles were tied with a rope, one behind the other on the shoulders.

The travel bag at this time is stronger than all your imaginations, and those bags and boxes in later generations will basically be damaged after doing this once.

In the 70s and [-]s, materials were scarce and the workmanship was crude, but the quality was genuine, and there was nothing wrong with it from workmanship to materials.

A light bulb can last for several years or more than ten years. At that time, it was a qualified product if it was used for a long time. Unlike now, a light bulb is a qualified product if it is fragile.Sales are king, who will eat if it's not bad?At that time, the research institute was racking their brains on how it could never be broken, and now they are racking their brains on how to be normal.

Liu Guixin hugged her son at the gate and watched Zhang Qingzhi walk away with two big bags on his back. When he reached the public toilet below, he turned around and waved at her.

In fact, the bus station was on the other side, at the gate of the food station, but Zhang Qingzhi was reluctant to spend the five cents.It was nearly three kilometers from my home to the train station, and the rope that tied my travel bag to my hand bit by bit bit into my flesh, causing pain.

He held the travel bag and weighed it to change the place for the rope, without stopping for a moment.

What he is carrying at this moment is not these things, but the hope of his family.

The bus is also owned by Benxi Iron and Steel, which belongs to the third squadron of the Benxi Iron and Steel Transportation Company. Workers in the factory don’t need to pay for the bus, but they only give out to workers whose homes are two kilometers away. But Zhang Qingzhi just couldn't open his mouth.That's the nature of being a soldier.
