Rebirth of Everyday Life In the 1970s

Speaking of this, the eldest son of the Chen family refreshed, "Deputy Director Zhou of the Revolutionary Committee of the county invites you to visit Sanshu."

He quickly added: "This deputy director Zhou Haochang is the second-in-command of our Dong County."

"What's wrong with his family?" Song Fengchen asked.

The eldest son of the Chen family said immediately: "Deputy Director Zhou's eldest son had something wrong ten years ago. After he came back, he would be ill."

Song Fengchen raised his eyebrows.

The Chen family boss pointed to his head: "There is something wrong here, and it has not been cured for so many years."

"What the **** is going on?" Song Fengchen asked again.

The boss of the Chen family flashed his eyes slightly, seeming to be a little hesitant. He lowered his voice: "Isn't it the Red Guard movement ten years ago? It broke the four olds and established the four new ones."

"This Deputy Director Zhou's son was also fifteen or six years old at the time, and it was when he was young and vigorous, so he got mixed up."

"At that time, there was a squire family in our county. The surname was Zhang. There was a Tanhua Lang from his ancestors. For this reason, the county specially set up a Tanhua and No. 1 archway for his family. However, this family was not lucky. The Republic of China In the past twenty years or so, the bandits went down the mountain and invaded the county seat. There were more than 100 men, women, children, and children in the Zhang family, all of whom died under the bandits' butcher's knives."

After the bandits were sad, the Dongxian County Citizen's Book at the time had the kindness of the Zhang family, so the ancestral hall and archway of the Zhang family were preserved. Unexpectedly, two decades later, these things will become a cancer of feudalism.

"...Then Zhang's ancestral hall and archway were spotted by them. Those students burned down the Zhang Family's ancestral hall and demolished Tanhua and the first archway."

The elder of the Chen family sighed for a while: "As a result, the eldest son of Deputy Director Zhou and several of his classmates got home that night and all had an accident."

It is precisely because of such a weird thing that happened before, that the Chen family believed in the fact that Chen Shi unilaterally insisted that Zhao Cheng came back to retaliate when he was in the hospital.

Hearing this, Song Fengchen frowned slightly: "According to what you said, this Zhou Haochang's eldest son became like this, isn't it right that he deserved it."

Hearing what Song Fengchen said, the eldest son of the Chen family knew that things were going to happen. He said anxiously: "Things can’t be counted like this. Although he did do something wrong, he can say that those who don’t know are not guilty. The eldest son of Zhou’s deputy director How old..."

Song Fengchen interrupted him: "Then can he do whatever he wants at a young age?"

This is a matter of principle.

The Chen family's boss opened his mouth, "But it has been ten years since this matter, and he has been a fool for ten years. Even if it is a murder and a crime, there must be a period of time in jail. Moreover, after all these years, Deputy Director Zhou In order to give his eldest son Ji De not know how many good facts he has done, he was also rated as a moral model in the province a few years ago. Deputy Director Zhou has only such a son, and it is not easy for him to see his third uncle. For the sake of it, help go and have a look."

Hearing this, Song Fengchen's complexion improved a lot, and he glanced at the Chen family boss: "It's hard for you to come over and lobby so hard. Come on, let me run this trip, what good is it for you!"

Putting away his awe-inspiring expression, the Chen family’s boss smiled awkwardly, and then told the truth: "You know, Sanshu, I have been in the position of the production team captain for seven or eight years, because there is no one on it. , So it’s not too high."

"Recently, there was a deputy secretary in our commune who was embarrassed by the boss for doing something wrong. Many people in the commune had memorialized the punishment, and the county revolutionary committee gave us the right position. We have to choose from among the captains of our two dozen production teams."

He looked at Song Fengchen baffledly: "Uncle San, let me do it now, the qualifications are long enough, and the popularity is okay, there is only one person who can help me."

The boss of the Chen family didn't dare to imagine this before. Among the two dozen captains under their commune, they were much older and better-known than him. Among them, there were also relatives in the county's revolutionary committee cadres.

But at these times something happened in his family, Song Fengchen jumped out, and the Chen family boss's mind suddenly became alive.

It was like such a golden opportunity. After passing this village, there would be no such shop. He was itching, so he didn't come to the door.

As for the revolutionary committees he mentioned, these are unique products of this era.

The Revolutionary Committee is an administrative organization at the county level, and Deputy Director Zhou is equivalent to the existence of the Deputy County Mayor of Dongxian County. Down below is the commune, an administrative agency at the township level. The secretary of the commune is the mayor.

The eldest son of the Chen family is the head of Yuexi Village in a practical sense.

Song Fengchen understood, "Okay, it's up to your face, it's okay to go and have a look. But I'm ugly in the front, I may not be able to solve the problem, and you don't have too much hope."

"Understood." The boss of the Chen family nodded. If Song Fengchen can't solve this matter, it can only mean that he doesn't have the life of getting promoted and making money.

He still has this psychological preparation.

But this does not prevent him from being excited now, "Well, I will set up a car tomorrow morning to pick up Sanshu you into the city."

"Okay." Song Fengchen replied, "By the way, I have one more thing to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter, Sanshu, don't hesitate to say." The Chen family boss said immediately.

Song Fengchen turned around and brought out a large piece of wild pork from his back basket, which seemed to be seven or eight catties.

"This," he found two more rags, wrapped five gastrodia, and put one of them together with wild pork: "And this, please give it to the Wang family."

It was the Wang family who had been pried at the kitchen door and stolen food by Song San and his group of friends.

Of course, except for the food that was eaten by Song San and the others on the spot, the rest was recovered.

Although Song San paid a tragic price for this, Song Fengchen came. These years, if you commit the crime of theft, you will be shot. Although the Wang family hasn’t changed much in the past half a month, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future due to this incident, sending something to the past is regarded as Song San’s apologization to the Wang family. This is the end of the matter. So far it's over.

As for why the boss of the Chen family was asked to send it over, to put pressure on the Wang family, and secondly, it was purely because he was lazy and didn't want to come to the house to get angry.

"Uncle San, you didn't run into the deep mountains, right." Otherwise, how come there are so many Tianma.

The boss of the Chen family wore worry on his face, and he knew what Song Fengchen was thinking about, so his attention was all on Tianma.

Song Fengchen smiled: "Don't worry, I haven't been so stupid enough to retreat to the point where I'm going to the old forest."

As he said, he handed another packet of Tianma to the Chen family boss, "Take this back with you to replenish the body for the second sister-in-law."

"Don't, it's too expensive." The Chen family boss refused subconsciously. He watched Song Fengchen pick it up. The Gastrodia elata in this cloth bag is not small, and these five are at least half a catty, and put them on the black market. , That is seven or eight yuan, his subsidy for half a month.

"It's precious, it's in the mountains for nothing," Song Fengchen directly stuffed Tianma into his hands: "If the second sister-in-law hadn't given me a bite in the first place, I didn't necessarily have me now, I knew it in my heart."

"Let's do it." Song Fengchen said so, the Chen family boss really couldn't refuse, "In this case, Sanshu, I will go back first."

Song Fengchen took him to the door, turned around and looked at the empty house, thinking about what to buy back in the county tomorrow.

…

Early the next morning, the eldest son of the Chen family could not wait to knock on the door of the Song family.

Staring at Song Fengchen's washing up, he immediately passed the oil paper bag in his arms.

The eldest son of the Chen family said in a hurry: "This is the meat buns that my second child bought from the state-owned restaurant in the county town yesterday. The smell is very delicious. My mother specially heated it this morning."

Song Fengchen was not welcome. He took the buns the size of a child's fist and bit them down. Although there was no juice, it was better than the meat filling, fat and thin. As for the taste, it can only be said to be barely passable.

Seeing Song Fengchen's dumpling on his stomach, the Chen family boss raised his voice involuntarily: "The third uncle, let's set off now."

"Okay." Song Fengchen listened to his arrangements.

The whole village of Yuexi Village does not have a single agricultural machine. Apart from manpower, all households rely on animal power. There are only three ox carts for all household belongings. They are responsible for the spring sowing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest, and the delivery of public grain to the national treasury and the sale of surplus grain. Task. Private people need to use bullock carts, and they have to pay to the public house for 40 cents a day.

This price is not cheap. The production level in Yuexi Village is not high. It is busy all year round. When calculating the work-point income at the end of the year, in general, each laborer can only earn more than 30 cents a day, and sometimes it is lower than this level.

Carrying the guy on his back, he even got into the bullock cart. The Chen family boss waved his whip in his hand and the cart turned around unhurriedly.

Yuexi Village was an hour and a half drive away from the county seat, bumpy all the way, and entered the county seat, Song Fengchen's whole person was not well.

The boss of the Chen family came back from a house on the side of the road asking for a bowl of water, most of which was under the cold water, and the suffocating breath in Song Fengchen's chest finally disappeared.

"Let's go." Song Fengchen said.

He looked around and found that the county town in the 1970s was definitely not prosperous. Most of the three-storey buildings were covered with tiles. There were no shops and the streets were very spacious, but there were not many pedestrians. , I can occasionally see a few bicycles flying by with crisp bells.

Even so, compared with the rows of thatched houses in Yuexi Village, this place is a hundred times better.

The boss of the Chen family stored the bullock cart, and took Song Fengchen to a tube building, went up to the second floor, walked a few steps forward, and knocked on the door.

"Here." A voice came from the room, followed by the door opening, and seeing that it was the boss of the Chen family, the middle-aged man couldn't hide his joy: "You are here."

As he said, he turned his body sideways: "Quickly, come in and talk."

"Deputy Director Zhou." Seeing Zhou Haochang closing the door with his backhand, the Chen family boss looked modest and pointed to Song Fengchen and said, "This is my third uncle Song."

Zhou Haochang was a little excited, and stretched out his hand: "My family's affairs are troublesome... Comrade Song."

Song Fengchen also stretched out his hand, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was a vague taste of arrogance.

The Chen family boss raised his brows, and the corner of his eyes looked at Zhou Haochang, the smile on the other's face deepened.

He thought about it, and that's right. If Song Fengchen is like him, respecting Zhou Haochang, then what is the difference between him and those who rushed to please Zhou Haochang, even if Zhou Haochang would not doubt Song Fengchen because of this. He would definitely despise Song Fengchen a bit in his heart.

On the contrary, the higher Song Fengchen's posture was, the more Zhou Haochang would feel that this was a performance of his strength and would only be more respectful to Song Fengchen.

Song Fengchen retracted his hand and said faintly: "I have heard the ins and outs of the matter. Deputy Director Zhou will directly take me to see your eldest son!"

"Okay." Zhou Haochang nodded hurriedly, and led Song Fengchen to the room.

The Zhou family is not too big, with a hundred flat, three bedrooms and one living room.

Entering the room, only a twenty-five-six-year-old young man was sitting quietly on a chair next to the bed, basking in the sun.

Zhou Haochang yelled: "Mao Xing, bask in the sun."

The young man seemed to be ignorant and did not respond.

Zhou Haochang looked at Song Fengchen as if asking for help.

"Did Deputy Director Zhou ever find someone to show your son before?" Song Fengchen asked.

Zhou Haochang looked bitter: "I have only seen doctors. I have been to hospitals in the province and in the city. When he started to go crazy and crazy, the doctor said he was insane, but later he was not crazy. They said that he was autistic. disease."

"Have you ever asked a master in the industry to see it?" Song Fengchen asked again.

Zhou Haochang looked helpless: "In the early days, the world was chaotic, so I didn't dare. After all, I was carrying a public office. I don't know how many eyes were staring at me behind my back... Later, it didn't make much chaos, and those masters fled to death. , No one can be found."

He paused: "If Comrade Chen hadn't come to the door, I didn't know there were people like you, Comrade Song, in Dongxian."

Song Fengchen looked at the Chen family boss.

The Chen family boss said honestly: "I just gave Deputy Director Zhou an exorcism charm."

He was originally wondering if Zhou Haochang's son had been caught by evil or something. It might be just fine to use an exorcism talisman to drive him away.

As a result, after waiting for nearly half a month, there was no news from Zhou Haochang. Just when he was completely disappointed, the other party suddenly found him.

Zhou Haochang immediately added: "Speaking of which, this exorcism talisman saved my life!"

When the Chen family boss gave him the exorcism talisman, although he was skeptical, he said in his heart that it was impossible not to be excited. He eagerly asked for leave and returned home, and stuffed the talisman paper into his son's hand. As a result, nothing happened, and his son was still foolishly stupid.

He patronized his frustration, and didn't notice where the talisman paper had gone.

After ten days, the Revolutionary Committee arranged manpower to supervise the river embankment work in Hongzhen. Zhou Haochang was the leader.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a group of children fishing in the river, Zhou Haochang became interested, and went into the water.

As a result, when he was swimming with his fellow comrades, his left foot was suddenly entangled by something. At first he thought it was water plants or something, but after a few seconds, the thing pulled him Drill under the water.

When the others reacted, he was about to suffocate in the water. While struggling, he could clearly see what was holding his left foot. It was a figure.

Amidst fear, a golden light suddenly burst from his body and hit the figure impartially. The figure screamed and let go of his hand.

Then he passed out into a coma.

It was his confidant who rescued Zhou Haochang ashore, and he also saw the scene under the water. Afterwards, the subordinate asked him if he was carrying something to ward off evil spirits, and he also wanted to ask for one.

Zhou Haochang subconsciously touched his jacket pocket and found out the paper dust on his hand.
