Return To 1977 Chapter 256: New Year’s Eve Various

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Some people feel relaxed and happy because they let go of their hearts, while others insist on taking life seriously to the end.

The atmosphere in the Shou family's three west rooms in No. 3 Courtyard of Chashi Hutong in Chongwen District is quite awkward.

Shou Jingfang had a dish of "braised abalone" and had already drank several glasses. The Moutai made his face slightly flushed. But at this time, he was not happy, because the content of his children's discussion was really unacceptable to him.

Shou Rong slapped the table and glared.

"It's so irritating! Shouzheng, I asked someone to check it. Your test score is more than 20 points higher than the admission limit of Beijing Medical University. But even Beijing Medical University doesn't want you, why should they? We have to go Find them..."

Shou Zheng took it calmly.

"Oh, sister, what's all the fuss about? Isn't it just a matter of composition. In fact, it would be nice to have a university to attend. Fortunately, my third choice is the Agricultural University..."

"Why are you so hopeless! With your current ability, you can be a chief doctor and you are rich, but you are willing to learn how to repair the earth? The unified examination will select the best. Isn't this determined by the 'great man'?"

"What is set above is the policy, what is set below is the standard of control, and it will be in vain for you to be more serious..."

"That won't work. You can't get such a high score in vain. We have to solve this problem. Besides, our family is not without options. If it doesn't work, I will take you to ask your aunt..."

Hearing this, Shou Jingfang, who had been silent all this time, was no longer indifferent and scolded loudly. "You dare!"

Shou Rong was particularly aggrieved.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? This is a life-long event. After all, my aunt is your biological sister. Now that the 'movement' is over, she no longer has to worry about being implicated, and she will definitely not treat us badly. Don't do anything anymore. It's not a question of our ability. If uncle can go and say hello, it might be possible. Didn't you always want Shouzheng to be a doctor?"

Unexpectedly, Shou Jingfang said very rigidly, "Being a doctor depends on ability, not on wagging the tail and weaklings. If you continue to have this idea of ​​following others, you are not worthy of being my daughter!"

"Dad! You..."

Shou Rong wanted to argue again, but Shouzheng actually opposed her.

"Sister, don't worry about my business! You don't know the virtues of my aunt's family? I won't flatter them. I don't believe it yet. Could it be that I won't be able to study medicine if I go to Agricultural University? After thinking about it, one of my classmates has already been admitted to the medical university. If I get the chance, I will just sneak in with him and listen..."

Shou Jingfang nodded happily after hearing this. "Good boy, this is my son!"

Ke Shourong was so angry that he pushed the bowl away. "You two are really like father-in-law. You both want to save face and suffer the consequences. You would rather steal your art than ask for help. Are you stupid? How come my good intentions are treated like a donkey's liver and lung..."

Similar to the Shou family, in a small bungalow on Zaolin West Street in Xuanwu District, "Hongye", who was also admitted to the university this year, is currently a bit troubled.

However, it is not that he is dissatisfied with his profession, but that he is worried about the future livelihood of his brothers.

"'Naughty', I have to report to school in March. What will you do in the future? We can't keep doing this. Not only are there more and more police, but also the living owners who don't hesitate to cross the border to grab food. More and more, this bowl of rice no longer tastes good..."

But the "naughty boy" was very free and easy, "Brother, don't worry about us. Feel comfortable every day, do whatever you like! But to be honest, you are really our 'player' This! It cheers us up! Congratulations, your hard days are over. Here’s to you, brother..."

"Hongye" naturally could not live up to his brother's sincerity. As soon as they clinked their glasses, the two of them "walked away" with a full cup.

But even after drinking, he still couldn't let go of the knot in his heart. He couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"No, I have to think of a way for you to rest assured. If this continues...you will have to go in sooner or later..."

"Naughty Boy" is still heartless.

"Just go in, and you'll be in charge of the job. Brother, they say college students can become officials, and you'll be in the sky after the festival! Just study hard. Maybe if something happens to us in the future, we'll have to count on you to save us. ."

"Hongye" stared when he heard this.

"Fart! The Public Security Bureau is not run by our family? If you worry about this, you will really kill yourself! I feel even more uneasy, but I can't let you be so stupid that you end your life... ”

"Naughty" scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Brother, let me just say that. In fact, I understand the truth. Just like last time when the 'Red Boy' advised you to go to college, Bian'er and I were listening. In the future, what kind of severe punishment... what kind of crimes will be punished by the police in the future? The main task is to restore the country and the economy... But even if he is right about these things, there is nothing we can do about it, is it really useful for him to tell you about the resumption of the college entrance examination..."

Unexpectedly, "Hongye"'s eyes lit up when he said this, and she was very excited.

"Hey, I remembered it as soon as you said it! Let's go find this kid! He has washed his hands in a golden basin, and he must have his own way of living! Besides, 'Chopper', 'Shunzi', 'Sanbeng' Zi' is also his brother, he can't just watch and ignore..."

But then, he looked at the "naughty boy" hesitantly.

"...But I'm just worried, that guy is a master who won't let others. I really need to find a good way. He is willing to drag us brothers to do it together, but your position..."

Unexpectedly, "naughty boy" just smiled.

"Brother, I know how much I weigh. I will do whatever you say..."

As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever."

In the blink of an eye, "Hongye" and "Naughty Boy" are about to embark on different life journeys. Similarly, the two policemen, Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin, are about to part ways. This day was actually their last night on duty together.

West of Yongdingmen Railway Station, Fengtai District, Dongzhuang Police Station.

Xing Zhengyi beat a bunch of snowflakes, rubbed his hands and breathed, then opened the door and walked into the office.

Zhao Zhenmin, who was reading the newspaper with a cigarette in his mouth, became happy when he saw him come in. "What's the matter? The future director has finished his inspection? Is it okay to be so conscientious during the Chinese New Year..."

"You kid, you are making fun of me again. Don't tell me, I still had to wander around. The courtyard at the west corner was filled with smoke. Someone set off a cannon and set a small earthen box in the kitchen on fire. It almost caught fire. It hit the linoleum roof in time and nothing serious happened..."

"Hey, it's hard work! What can I say, I admire you the most! If you don't become a police officer, it will be a great loss to the people of the entire capital!"

"Okay, you, you are so stinky! Don't be angry with me. How can I compete with you? You will be transferred to the "anti-pocket squad" soon. But I still have to stay here and fight with the street aunt every day. We are just grinding our teeth.”

"Comrade, don't be negative! This is all revolutionary work!"

Zhao Zhenmin looked sullen, but he also sincerely comforted him. "You have to think on the bright side. Director Qin is about to retire, and you are his most valued successor. We have arranged for you to attend short-term training courses. If you are trained for another two years, the deputy director at the department level will not be able to leave... …”

"That depends on the face of 'Bao Shui'er'! Besides, I don't like being a film policeman, it's all trivial. Are you willing for us to switch?"

"Tch, does it matter what I said? In fact, you just look too upright, and you look like a policeman at first glance, otherwise you would just go with me..."

"Huh! Just watch, I still have to go! My ultimate goal is to go to the Second Division (Investigation Division), that's where a good police officer should go!"

"That's okay, you can definitely do it! But now, it's better to come here to warm yourself up and get a box of dumplings..."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhenmin took a lunch box from the heater and handed it to Xing Zhengyi. "Old man Liu from the cafeteria specially made it for us, pork and cabbage. But this box is enough. He has already gone home to celebrate the New Year..."

Xing Zhengyi seemed really hungry, so he quickly grabbed two dumplings and stuffed them into his mouth. But then, he covered the lunch box, took it and walked out.

Zhao Zhenmin was surprised. "Hey, why are you going?"

Xing Zhengyi pulled the door open with his hand and swallowed his answer.

"There are two construction sites stealing pan rods behind bars. It's miserable enough to celebrate the New Year here. Let's give them dumplings to eat..."

Zhao Zhenmin became anxious upon hearing this. "It's just those two pieces of shit, do they deserve it? If you don't feed it to them, are you okay?"

Xing Zhengyi didn’t look back at all and already stepped out of the door. "They are no longer just toys, but they are also human beings! If we want them to change their ways, we still have to treat them as human beings..."

"Bang", pulled by the spring, the office door hit. Xing Zhengyi’s figure disappeared into the flying snowflakes...

In this world, police officers have their own rules, and **** have their own ways of being assholes.

Xing Zhengyi treats others as human beings out of a noble professional ethics. But there are also some people who never treat others as human beings, and that is out of their animal instinct for survival.

Tuanhe Farm in Daxing County, a suburb of Beijing.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, inside the large wall surrounded by power grids, the government also wants to improve the food for the prisoners in the spirit of humanitarianism.

In the evening, we cooked a fragrant "two rice dishes" made of millet and rice in the kitchen, two bowls per person. The dishes were stir-fried cabbage and wide vermicelli stewed with pork. There are also fifteen dumplings per person.

This extremely ordinary meal is simply a sumptuous "state banquet" for people who have only eaten bran noodles, steamed buns and cabbage soup for a long time.

So when the waiter "You San" just brought the food back from the kitchen, many pairs of greedy eyes in the dormitory were staring closely at the rice bowl and vegetable basin, all looking like they wanted to swallow the rice and vegetables in one bite. The energy to go down.

But "You San" didn't pity these hungry wolf-like educated people at all. He just ran to the bunk closest to the stove and respectfully invited "Dade He" who was lying down to get up.

"'Master De, please get up and eat, everything has been brought back..."

Then it wasn't until "Da De He" sat up and "You San" took the initiative to put on his shoes that the boy said, "It's time to open the cup, put the basin, put the basin."

"You San" first counted the dumplings. He consciously put twenty more dumplings in the "Da De He" basin, and then ten more in his own basin.

The same goes for the pork stewed with vermicelli. By the time "You San" finished pouring it into "Dadehe" and his own basin, a quarter of the amount in the big basin was gone, and it was all filled with the best pork belly pieces. .

Under the gaze of everyone, no one among the dozen or so people in the room dared to say a word. "You San" glanced around them, waved his hand again, and then the two teachers next to him began to divide the heads of the rest.

At this time, "Da De He" seemed to have really woken up. He looked at his basin, called "You San" over with a wave of his hand, and said in a low voice, "You kid, you are like this when you seize meat from a tiger's mouth." Too much, isn’t it? It’s just one day a year, and you’re not afraid of rebellion?”

"You San" chuckled flatteringly.

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to ****. They must be divided into three, six, and nine grades. This is normal. These **** can still get four or five pieces of fat to eat. We are already merciful. You don't have to treat them like human beings! As long as you support me, I won't be afraid of anyone. I will kill anyone who explodes..."

After saying that, he took out a small bottle from his arms and gave it to "Da De He", and a smell of wine came out at the same time.

"'Deye', please taste it slowly, no one will check it today..."

"Da Dehe"'s eyes lit up instantly, and then he gave You San some more meat and dumplings in his basin.

"You have done a great job, you should eat more!"

"You San" laughed it off, squatted down with the rice bowl and ate. It really looks like a dog wagging its tail and chewing bones...

The mysteries in life are difficult for most people to understand.

This is like a sweater woven with many colors of wool. Even if a person wears it for a lifetime, it will be difficult to tell how many threads, how many colors, and how they are intertwined. together.

So even in places that are not close to each other at all, or even places thousands of miles away from the capital, the fate of some people has already been predestined, and they will gradually get closer to each other and be closely intertwined in the future.

Perhaps, this is called fate...

Longkou Village at the foot of Jiulong Mountain in Fangshan County, a suburb of Beijing.

On a hot kang connected to the stove in a small farmyard, Zhao Qing, who ran into the city to sell eggs the day before yesterday, was sound asleep. It was very warm here, and there was no need to worry about catching a cold even in the coldest month of winter.

In another room next door, a conversation between his parents was coming.

"What? Qing'er fell asleep again, and he hasn't worshiped his ancestors yet? Is he going to sleep? Wake him up!" This was the voice of an old man. Surprisingly, he had a Beijing flavor and a clear accent.

"Can it be done in a while? Don't you know Qing'er? He gets tired easily and loves to sleep. He can even fall asleep while standing and talking. Just let him sleep more..." This is The voice of a local woman had a distinct local accent.

"But this won't work. You've spent all your time sleeping, why don't you do the real thing?"

"If you want to see me, just sleep. It won't hinder anyone. At most, we will get a few less work points at the end of the year. Compared with those guys who are sneaking around and pulling out garlic seedlings, our Qing'er is quite cute. What's more, he entered this time The city is not easy either. I sold eggs to support my family for more than 20 yuan, and I have been doing what others have been doing for half a year. I should feel sorry for him..."

"Oh, it's not that I don't feel sorry for my son. He is weak and can neither practice martial arts nor do work. But it is always good to read more books and practice calligraphy and painting. Isn't it better than dreaming about Qiankun all day long? He is like this It's a disease! It's definitely not normal..."

"No way? All the hospitals in the People's Commune have been inspected and nothing was found..."

"That barefoot doctor who was promoted from the countryside? What does he know! He can't even figure out whether there are flies in Africa or whether penicillin is penicillin..."

The child’s mother was confused because of these unheard terms.

"Dad, what did you say...congee? What Lin?"

The old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, I can't tell you clearly. To put it bluntly, Qing'er's strange disease may only be cured by Shou Jing in the capital. Unfortunately, Shou's family has been raided long ago, and his whereabouts are unknown..."

Hulianggou, Liujiahe People’s Commune, Yanchang County, Shaanxi Province.

The two earthen kilns in the educated youth spot were almost empty. Only two female educated youths from the capital were left and could not go home for the holidays.

One of them is Shui Qing, the eldest daughter of the Lao Shui family in the west courtyard of Guanyin Yuan in Furuli, and the other is her classmate in middle school, Ran Liying, who is sick.

Outside the earthen kiln, a fierce cold wind kept blowing. In the house, under a large oil lamp, Shui Qing supported the lying Ran Liying and fed her **** syrup.

I thought of the beautiful face of the girl in my arms before, and compared it with her current haggard appearance, like a "human lamp". (A dialect used to describe a person who is extremely thin.) Shui Qing felt anxious and worried.

Yes, Ran Liying, who was suffering from fever, no longer had any vitality on her face. On her face as pale as paper, only her big eyes were still attractive.

It's surprising how quickly a flower wilts. Seeing her miserable expression really made people feel cramped and panicked.

The most worrying thing is that there is a little baby who is less than three months old beside her, and the sleeping baby is still a child who does not fit into the world...

"Qing'er, I'm sorry for you. You're so tired that you can't go home for the holidays. Originally, you should have brought your university admission letter and happily celebrated the New Year with your family..."

Suddenly, Ran Liying in Shui Qing's arms spoke, interrupting her grief.

"Xiaoying, what are you talking about! We are classmates and came from the capital together. Over the years, I have regarded you as my own sister. How could I leave you alone? Don't worry, I will stay with you until you recover from your illness..."

"Qing'er... you are so kind. You know, my family is gone... To be honest, if it weren't for this child, I would... never drag you down like this... …”

"Stop talking nonsense, you should take good care of your health and live well for the sake of your children. I will go to the hospital in the People's Commune tomorrow and I will find a way to get you some medicine..."

Shuiqing suddenly felt that the wind exposed through the cracks in the window was a bit strong, so he carefully tucked Ran Liying into bed.

But Ran Liying still coughed, and the sound was heart-wrenching. And then she even said, "Qing, I think I might not be able to get better. Can you... please promise me something?"

Shui Qing was afraid that she would have random thoughts, so she quickly coaxed her and said, "Why are you always worried? Just tell me anything, as long as I can do it..."

Ran Liying suddenly shed tears, "In case I die, I want this child to recognize you as my mother."

Shui Qing was stunned after hearing this, and said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, how could you die? You will always be with the child..."

But a more miserable expression flashed across the corner of Ran Liying's mouth.

"Don't blame me for thinking nonsense. I mean just in case, if I... really don't live long, I hope you can raise this girl for me. You must promise me that this kindness will last my whole life. I can never repay you in two lifetimes. In the next life... I will work as a cow or a horse for you..."

Shui Qing felt as if she had been burned with a soldering iron, and her whole body trembled. She couldn't bear to listen any more.

"Okay, as long as you promise me to rest in peace and recover, I will treat this child as my daughter! But when you get better, don't regret it..."

Ran Liying stared at Shui Qing for a long time, a relieved smile suddenly flashed across her face, and she finally fell down with relief.

Then she murmured, "Qing'er, no matter if we do it or kiss you, the child will call you mom from now on. Now I feel relieved and I really want to give you a good kiss." Size..."

As she spoke, her tears fell again and she closed her eyes in pain...
