They in the 70s

That night, Lu Zhansheng didn't sleep well, and when He Zhi got up in the morning, he woke up too.

After He Zhi got up, he fetched water as usual, swept the yard, washed his clothes, and finished all the work he could do. Then he began to sit on the stone pier outside the door in a daze.

When the girls made breakfast and called everyone, He Zhi also came, but he didn't eat a few mouthfuls at all.

I didn't eat much yesterday, and I didn't eat it today, Lu Zhansheng was really anxious to death.

Anyway, I went to Li Yueru's house every day, and I could barely eat a few mouthfuls of rice after I came back, but if I didn't let me go, I couldn't even eat a single bite.

After struggling impatiently in his heart for a long time, Lu Zhansheng finally decided that if He Zhi still wanted to go to Li Yueru's house today, he would not care about it. He said in his heart that if he wanted to go, it would be better than starving to death.

However, He Zhi didn't go again.

He Zhi didn't go out until after lunch, just sat at the table in the house with a book in his hand.

It looked like he was reading a book, but he didn't turn a few pages of the book all morning.

Lu Zhansheng was so worried that he lost his temper.

He didn't understand what kind of evil He Zhi had committed. He knew he couldn't find anything from He Zhi, so he thought about it and went to Li Yueru's house.

Although Shimen Village has a large population, every household lives in cave dwellings. The excavation of cave dwellings requires a specific geographical location, and it is not convenient to live next to each other. Therefore, basically they belong to one family on one slope and one family on another, as if each occupies a hilltop.

Li Yueru's house is on the slope at the entrance of the village. It is a short walk from the educated youth spot through the threshing field.

When Lu Zhan was born, Li Yueru was struggling to fetch water from the well. It was inconvenient for her to have a big belly, and it was dangerous to stand beside the well to fetch water, so she could only half kneel on the ground and stuck the rope on the side of the well. From the crevices of the rocks, just a small piece of it was pulled out.

The scene looked really sad, Lu Zhansheng frowned, then walked over and took the rope from her hand.

After filling the urn with water and splitting a large pile of firewood in one breath, Lu Zhansheng looked around and asked Li Yueru, "What else is there to do?"

After all, he was not in a good mood, so his tone was probably very aggressive.

Li Yueru smiled helplessly, then went into the room and poured a cup of hot water out, and gave him a small bench.

Lu Zhansheng took the small bench, but not the glass of water. He doesn't like to use someone else's glass.

"My husband is a very nice man."

After sitting down, Li Yueru said: "He treated me very well when he was alive."

"... "

For a while, Lu Zhansheng didn't understand what she said without thinking. He looked up at her and found that she had a smile on her face.

"He went to the mine to make my baby and I have a better life."

Li Yueru put her hand on her stomach, and continued: "If he is still alive, he should be a very good father."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng seemed to understand something.

"There won't be any other man in this world who treats us better than him." Li Yueru said again.

"... "

Lu Zhansheng completely understood now, what she meant was that she would not remarry again.

"Comrade Xiao Lu."

Li Yueru smiled again. "Don't worry, your brother doesn't have any other thoughts. He just thinks that I am very similar to his mother."

Ok?

Similar to Aunt Luo?

Lu Zhansheng suddenly raised his head to look at Li Yueru, his first reaction was that he looked nothing like him at all.

Li Yueru saw his doubts, and said: "He didn't say anything specific, he just said that when he saw me, he would think of his mother when she was young."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was stunned, he suddenly realized that this "very similar" is not the appearance.

Lu Zhansheng had heard from Lu Yunting before that when He Zhi's father died on the battlefield, He Zhi was not born yet.

At that time, Aunt Luo hadn't been taken to Beijing yet. She was pregnant with He Zhi and lived alone in the countryside of Northeast China. She didn't have any relatives or friends around her.

It was not until He Zhi was over one year old that Lu Yunting returned from the battlefield and brought their mother and son to Beijing.

Later, after Lu Zhansheng, he was mischievous, and every time He Zhi got into trouble and caused He Zhi to get hurt or suffer, when Aunt Luo scolded or beat him, she would also talk about raising He Zhi alone. That period of time was not easy, and when I talked about the hardships, I even burst into tears.

Therefore, Lu Zhansheng knew that it was not easy for Aunt Luo in the past. In order to give birth to He Zhi, she also suffered a lot and suffered a lot. Therefore, every time Aunt Luo punished him because of He Zhi, he beat and scolded him freely. Resentment will only enter the heart.

And every time Aunt Luo said those things, He Zhi also listened from the sidelines.

They had heard about that experience many times, and they had imagined it a lot. Lu Zhansheng knew that as his son, He Zhi must have felt a hundred times more profoundly than him.

Now in this poor country, imagination has come into reality, plus He Zhi is very homesick during this time, misses Aunt Luo...

In this way, abnormality is also normal.

When returning to the educated youth spot from Li Yueru's house, Lu Zhansheng planned to go to the post office in the county tomorrow.

It's been a long time since the educated youth sent a letter, and Lu Zhansheng wanted to see if there was something wrong, because he felt that Aunt Luo loved He Zhi so much since she was a child, and it was impossible not to write to him.

Just thinking about it, it just so happened that when Lu Zhansheng arrived at the educated youth point, the postman driving a large carriage also appeared at the entrance of the village.

"Comrade!"

Lu Zhansheng immediately shouted: "Is there a letter from our educated youth?"

"Have!"

The postman replied with a smile, he remembered Lu Zhansheng, because the last time he came to deliver the letter, Lu Zhansheng's mood changed from cheering to thunderbolt too quickly, which left a deep impression on him.

The other people in the educated youth spot heard these shouts, and came out of the house one after another, all with excitement and anticipation on their faces.

He Zhi also came out of the house. He stood at the door and did not come over. Looking carefully, there was expectation and apprehension in his eyes.

After the postman came with the big carriage, he took out two envelopes from the bag and handed them to Lu Zhansheng. "Comrade Xiao Lu, I have two letters from you this time!"

"Ah." Lu Zhansheng took it with a smile, but he didn't care to look at it, and then asked, "Is there anyone else's?"

"Have."

The postman took out the detailed list, and went back to the car to find one by one.

"Tong Xiaoxue, a letter."

"Li Dabao, a package."

"See you, Song, one letter and one parcel each."

"... "

Thinking of delivering all the letters and items, the postman put away the list.

He Zhi did not.

Lu Zhansheng's expression changed immediately, and he asked the postman, "Is it gone?"

"That's all," said the postman.

"impossible!"

Lu Zhansheng began to feel a little anxious: "Look again, is there anyone missing?"

"You child, what's the matter, two letters from you are not enough?"

The postman smiled and shook his head, then opened the slip and checked it again.

"It is true that all the distributions have been completed, and the rest belong to other villages."

Lu Zhansheng didn't believe it, so he pulled the list in his hand and read it carefully, and then carefully checked the remaining packages and envelopes one by one in his car.

No Hezhi.

How could there be no He Zhi!

Looking back and seeing He Zhi's disappointed and lonely look after lowering his eyes, Lu Zhansheng's mood fell to the bottom almost instantly, and he felt that he might also be sick.

After standing there for a while, He Zhi turned around and went back to the house.

Lu Zhansheng scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time. He thought of his two letters, so he took a look and found that one was from Zhou Mingliang. He was speechless, too lazy to read, so he changed the other.

The other one was very thick, it felt like dozens of sheets of letter paper, and he didn't know who was talking so much, Lu Zhansheng just turned over the front face helplessly, and when he saw the sender, he was stunned.

Aunt Luo?

After reading it carefully several times, the column of the recipient was indeed written with the words "Lu Zhansheng", and Lu Zhansheng was even more confused.

Aunt Luo didn't write to He Zhi, but wrote to him?

Such a thick stack...

what?Scold him?

After being dazed for a few seconds, Lu Zhansheng quickly opened it, and found that the thick thing inside was not letter paper, but money, a very thick stack of money, and Lu Zhansheng felt that it was all Aunt Luo's savings.

And there was only one piece of real letter paper, and there were only two or three short lines written in it:

Lu Zhansheng!Little bastard!F!Be sure to take good care of He Zhi!Don't make him suffer!Protect him, dare to let him lose a hair, and I will kill you when you come back! !

Although there are few words, there is no shortage of pressure and weight.

Lu Zhansheng didn't know how angry Aunt Luo was when she wrote a few words, but he just looked at the almost torn letter paper, and felt that the tip of Aunt Luo's pen could poke his forehead through the letter paper. superior.

He couldn't help thinking, how much I hate this, but he has already run so far, why does Aunt Luo still bother him so much.

The postman came this time and brought things from his family. That night, the food for the educated youths was better.

Song Jian's uncle sent him a few more bottles of white wine, and he took them out to share with everyone when they had dinner in the evening.

Lu Zhansheng was depressed, so he drank some.

He Zhi didn't like drinking, so when everyone was drinking, he went outside by himself, and Lu Zhansheng asked Zhao Jun to help him take a look, saying that he had gone to sit on the threshing ground.

Zheng Yan and Song Jian were scolding Lu Zhansheng throughout the whole scene, either scolding Lu Zhansheng for doing something wrong, or scolding him for being too quick-tempered and too harsh. He Zhi had been depressed recently, but he didn't know how to be considerate at all.

With the stamina of Aunt Luo's letter, Lu Zhansheng almost made these two people scold him for depression.

Zheng Yan and Song Jian reminded him to read Zhou Mingliang's letter during the intermission when they were tired of scolding.

Lu Zhansheng didn't bother to read the letter from last time. He had a lingering fear of the last letter, and he had a particularly bad impression of Zhou Mingliang's letter.

But it was all in the mail, so it didn't matter if he didn't look twice, so he opened it.

"Student Lu Zhan, see the words...

……

On the first day of the new year, I went to your house to pay New Year's greetings to your brother and Aunt Luo, and they happened to be arguing. Your brother's attitude was not very good, and he contradicted Aunt Luo, and Aunt Luo got angry and hit your brother. hand.

......"

Ok?

After reading these words, Lu Zhansheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Aunt Luo... beat He Zhi?

How can it be?

How could Aunt Luo hit He Zhi? Since she was a baby, He Zhi was like a baby. She never touched a finger of him, and she rarely even scolded him. How could she hit him?

why?

Lu Zhansheng was stunned for a while, and turned to the next page to continue reading:

"...

Years ago, your brother resigned from his job in Shougang on his own initiative. Aunt Luo was very angry, and the two had disputes.

Years later, your brother suddenly said that he planned to go to the countryside. Aunt Luo refused to agree, but your brother insisted on going and asked him why. He didn't speak or give in. Aunt Luo got angry and beat him.

Later I heard that your brother still left, so I went to see Aunt Luo again, she was still angry, she was crying, and kept scolding you for a long time.

Only then did I know that the place your brother was going to was also in northern Shaanxi, because you were there.

... "
