Return To 1977 Chapter 371: Feeling in love with each other

It turns out that "Roller" has an extraordinary life experience.
His trumpet is Xiao Kunlun. Born on the eve of the "movement", at just three years old, "unprecedented" began.
His father was just an ordinary bus conductor. Because of his good background, he had nothing to do. He just complained a few times because he couldn't stand the messy world. As a result, he was hated by bad people!
I don’t know who stuffed a portrait of the leader into his shoe. Lao Xiao pressed the "Six Public Security Rules" and was turned to the Public Security Bureau.
That’s bad luck, you’ll suffer!
After being imprisoned for three consecutive years, Lao Xiao died angry and tired, and lost confidence in life.
After Xiao Kunlun's father passed away, his mother, who did not have a formal job, could only support him by gluing matchboxes and collecting waste paper.
In addition, all the breakfast items at home are sold out. From the age of six or seven, he had to help his mother earn a living because of hunger.
But later his mother was also arrested for tearing up large-character posters and selling them for money, and ended up with the same fate as his father.
In this case, Xiao Kunlun will become an orphan. Then in order to eat, he will inevitably choose to wander around society.
First, I followed the older children and learned to remove other people’s car bells, and later I secretly twisted the handles of doors and windows in the building to exchange scrap metal for money. It then progressed to going to construction sites at night to steal construction materials.
If you go back and forth like this, you will be able to sneak, curse, fight, smoke, and drink.
In the end, he became a "little copper and iron Buddha" like a hob.
Because he is small, clever, has sharp eyes, and can run fast, he is nicknamed "Roller".
But this kind of life is not so chic.
Not only was he hungry and full, but he also had to be bullied by some street gangsters and scoundrels. The money I finally earned was often taken away unreasonably. If he really misses his hand, he will definitely be beaten. If not, he will have to go to a "study class" and spend several months.
Later, during a "big raid", "Gunzi" accidentally met "Big Eyed Lantern" wandering on the street. Seeing that he had nowhere to go to avoid the "big raid", he kindly took them there. I went to the platform of the building where I lived to "splash the night."
As a result, after spending this night together, he became the apprentice of "Big Eyed Lantern".
He was only eleven years old at that time. Even if he later joined the "Er Head" gang with "Big Eyed Lantern", he was still the youngest one.
At the beginning, the "roller" could only look after others. He was wasting his "capita share" every month and could not make much money.
And "Big Eyed Lantern" took him and even broke the rule in the thieves' shop that "no one under twelve years old is allowed to go on the road, let alone enter the road".
This made "Botou" feel that "Big Eyed Lantern" was a bit silly.
But "Big Eyed Lantern" still earns two people's share on his own without any regrets. He never treated "Gunzi" badly and allowed him to live a life of adequate food and clothing.
Why is this so?
Speaking of which, I have to mention the father of "Big Eyed Lantern".
Because the life experiences of the two brothers Togashi and Togashi are very similar to "Roller" in some aspects.
In Beijing on the eve of liberation, most elderly people knew Hu Rongbin, the "King of Uri" nicknamed "Yunli Fei".
(In slang, Uri King, "Wu" means "black". Uri King is a strong man who is outstanding in thieves. It specifically refers to a one-legged thief who has good friends with the elders in his hometown and only goes out once or twice a year to do big business. . )
He studied under "Drunkard Zhang San", the famous "black money" thief in the capital, and learned a set of thief skills such as jumping over walls and jumping into houses. In terms of the level of household registration, it is actually no less than that of "Swallow Li San" and "Civet Cat" Duan Yunpeng, who are well-known in Beijing and Tianjin.
(In slang, black money refers to money that is stolen at night and does not work during the day)
Especially after becoming an apprentice, he accidentally rescued a "high buyer" from Jinmen from the Peking Inspection Office, and learned a skillful "hand cleaning job" with empty hands.
Since then, he has been doing both jobs and has become a well-known figure in the thief industry.
(In slang, Gaomai is a top master who specializes in stealing gold and silver shops, silk and satin shops, and ginseng shops in broad daylight. This type of thief can usually stretch his arms to enter and exit the sleeves at will without even realizing it. Hiding stolen goods in his arms gave him the nickname "Three Hands")
But for the people in the capital, when it comes to "flying in the clouds", they are neither afraid nor hateful.
Because "Yunli Fei" comes uninvited and only targets foreigners living in high-rise buildings and government officials and wealthy people in spacious mansions.
He is a mortal enemy that gives the Peiping Detective Team and the Peking Police Headquarters Inspection Division a headache, but he can make the common people feel relieved and happy.
Of course, everyone will have bad luck one day.
In 1948, Hu Rongbin stole the house of a government official and was betrayed when he was selling the stolen goods. He was finally sentenced by the Kuomintang Court and imprisoned in the prison of the Peking Police Headquarters.
Originally, the senior official still wanted Hu Rongbin's life, but at that moment, the People's Liberation Army troops came to the city.
So in panic, senior officials focused on how to alienate their property and how to evacuate.
The capital was later peacefully liberated, and "Yunli Fei" Hu Rongbin was released by the new government after undergoing education and labor reform. The government also arranged a job for him, allowing him to work as a plumber in the housing management office, encouraging him to rely on his own hands and labor to make a living.
This made Hu Rongbin feel an earth-shaking new atmosphere in all aspects.
Not to mention that the cadres of the labor camp are affable and treat prisoners as human beings, which is absolutely different from the officials of the Kuomintang. Everyone has a share in the happiness of the new society, and even the people outside are no longer frustrated and hungry.
People no longer frown. There are large-scale construction projects everywhere to build the country. The world has really changed.
With such a life-saving grace and the touching of his soul, Hu Rongbin finally made up his mind to be an honest person from now on and never steal again.
Soon, he lived a stable life. He married a widow from a rural area in Shandong and started his own small family. He also gave birth to two sons.
Although he lived a tight life, it was true that he was completely cut off from the absurd life of the past, where he lived in brothels and ate in restaurants.
He has transformed from his core into an ordinary worker who yearns for a new life and lives in poverty.
He even handed a bag he found to the police station.
Because there were 2,000 yuan of public funds and many bills lost by bank staff, he was commended by his unit and received a large certificate.
But unfortunately, good times go as quickly as they come.
The "movement" is coming, everyone has to pass the review and define the elements, and a large number of leaders in the unit are in trouble again. Then Hu Rongbin's old background was revealed.
From then on, the perception of Hu Rongbin by the people around him changed drastically. No one was willing to approach him anymore, and no one believed in him anymore.
If anything could not be found in the unit in the past, it was all blamed on Hu Rongbin. Everyone regarded him as a class enemy.
Some people even said that the bag Hu Rongbin handed over might have been stolen by him himself, and he turned it over to the public because he was afraid of the publicity and the money.
So the work unit began to criticize him every day, interrogate him, and ask him to explain his theft activities in recent years.
Of course Hu Rongbin refused to admit it, and his home was searched several times.
But that's not the worst part. Because of his unbearable history, his two sons were bullied at will by the children next door.
His Shandong wife was also injured by those who broke into the house because she was protecting him. Later, he had no money for medical treatment, so he died at home within a few days.
So when Hu Rongbin was finally released and returned home, he not only lost his job, but also found that his wife was dead. The house was also in a mess.
The first thing that caught his eye was the two sons who had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces. Under the light, they were eating rotten vegetable leaves and vegetable sticks returned from the vegetable station.
When the eldest son snatched the half-bowl of vegetable paste from the younger son's hand and brought it to him, he couldn't bear it any longer.
Suddenly there was a loud roar, the ground shook, and the ceiling of the low house was shaken so hard that dust fell off.
A gust of wind blew up, and Hu Rongbin ran into the courtyard with a long stride. He jumped up to the room a few times and disappeared in an instant.
At midnight, when Hu Rongbin returned to his residence, he kicked open the door with a "clang".
Without waiting for the two sons to ask questions, "Bah, bah, bah," two boxes of snacks, a few cans, and a roast chicken were thrown on the dirty table.
"X fuck!"
Hu Rongbin breathed out the smell of alcohol and cursed fiercely, and then like a mountain falling apart, he fell drunkenly on the bed...
From then on, Hu Rongbin became disheartened and became "flying in the clouds" again!
And not only did he steal it himself, he also started teaching his two sons!
It's just that he never allowed his two sons to go to the streets to try their skills. Because he didn't want to let his sons take this road yet, but to prevent himself from having an accident someday, his two children could still rely on this to not go hungry and survive.
But things always turn out to be the worst. His last resort became a reality. And the day came unexpectedly early.
Just two years later, when Hu Rongbin entered a resident's home in a ministry compound during the day to steal, he happened to encounter an old man who was alone at home and was in critical condition of a heart attack.
Hu Rongbin, whose conscience was still intact, could not bear to leave without mercy, so he gave the dying old man some water and medicine to help him out of danger.
I didn’t want this busy work to waste time. After the old man’s condition stabilized, when he was about to leave, he bumped into the old man’s daughter-in-law who was returning home from get off work when he opened the door.
The woman screamed, and the neighbors all mobilized to block Hu Rongbin on the spot. After that, there was a home search by the police station.
It stands to reason that Hu Rongbin is a master among thieves, and he understands the principle of punishing both the stolen goods and the stolen goods.
Therefore, he only steals cash when he enters a house, and only food when he enters a store. He never kept any money and only committed crimes after he had used up the money. In fact, not much money was found in his home. This shouldn't be too serious.
But what's even more unfortunate is that seven or eight plexiglass key pendants were found from his son's house, which are of a different nature.
On the spot, the expressions of several policemen changed, because there was only one such key pendant, there was no semicolon, and they were all souvenirs from the National Civil Aviation Administration of China.
In the 1960s and 1970s, even if you wanted to book a soft sleeper on a train, you had to check whether your level was high enough. Of course, airplanes were not something that ordinary people could afford.
If there are one or two souvenirs, maybe they were stolen from the home of a model worker. The owner occasionally got special permission and took a plane back, but seven or eight...
In this way, "Yunli Fei" Hu Rongbin died of these little things he brought back as toys for his son due to a sudden change of thought.
The public trial was held on the streets of the busy city. There were more than a dozen prisoners holding signs on a large Jiefang truck.
When the public prosecutor read Hu Rongbin's charges, he said that he was a recidivist who had repeatedly visited the families of major ministries and commissions and had stolen from the homes of many cadres. Due to the large amount of theft and the egregious impact of the crime, execution was carried out!
Both brothers Hu Gang and Hu Qiang went to the scene that day. At the last moment, their father actually raised his head and smiled, and then his neck was viciously pressed down.
That night, the two brothers cried their hearts out at home. From the next day, the two took to the streets together.
Although they were only half-experienced in "hand-cleaning work", they were not as capable as their father in stealing from wealthy officials. But this is enough for them to dig into the pockets of ordinary people on the bus every day...
So to put it bluntly. In fact, the reason why "Big Eyed Lantern" felt compassion for "Roller" was to take this young little burden with him from then on. It was out of sympathy that "Roller" remembered what happened to himself and his brother.
And as he watched "Roller" grow up day by day over the years, he gradually had the same state of mind as his father back then.
On the one hand, I don’t want “Gunzi” to starve and freeze, but on the other hand, I feel extremely helpless and regretful about letting “Gunzi” take this path.
