My 1979

After the lightning disappeared, the sky was as dark as ink, and only bursts of rumbling could still be heard in the ears.

The lights in my wife's room in the front room were still on. According to the old couple's usual habit, they had turned off the lights and went to bed. He felt curious, but after a gust of wind, he felt cold all over, so he didn't ask any more questions and hurried back to the house. A sheet was pulled over him.

He had just laid down and was about to turn off the lights when he vaguely felt someone calling him amidst the rumbling thunder.

He put on his shirt and walked to the door. The lights in the old couple's room were still on and it was very quiet.

No one called him, he just had an illusion.

After thinking about it, he rushed into the yard in the rain and ran to the front door in twos and twos. Although he was fast enough, he couldn't escape the heavy rain. He wiped it casually with a towel at the door, opened the door and walked in. They moved into the old couple's house.

What surprised Li He was that the old couple were actually whispering there.

He knows that he himself has never been willing to talk to me in such a soft voice. He usually either curses or speaks loudly.

Seeing Li He come in, Wang Yulan said, "Aren't you still asleep?"

Li He asked, "Why don't you two sleep? It's already past nine o'clock."

Wang Yulan said happily, "Your dad is acting like a monster tonight and insists on talking to me about this and that. Why don't you chat with him until now? He didn't say anything about the north, south, east, west, or west. He just talked about things that were useless in the past. thing."

Li Zhaokun was lying on the bed. When he heard the movement, he didn't even raise his eyelids and murmured, "It's still going down."

Li He said, "The weather forecast says it will stop raining the day after tomorrow. Let's let it rain first. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the past few days. Besides, the roads are well repaired now, and it won't delay where to go if it rains."

Li Zhaokun said, "Cold."

Wang Yulan spread the sheet over him, covering it from his neck to his feet, and kept complaining, "I was asking you if you were cold just now, but now I know, it's just a fool's errand."

Li Zhaokun neither retorted nor lost his temper as usual. He just smiled and said, "I know you will help me. You are the best to me."

Li He looked at the elated old lady and thought to himself that if everyone had his father's talkative skills, everyone would not have to worry about finding a wife.

We are an old couple, we are deeply in love with each other, I felt uncomfortable seeing them, and turned around to leave, but then I heard Li Zhaokun say, "I want to drink some wine, but I haven't had one for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable even if I don't drink."

Li He stopped and said, "Go to bed quickly. Don't drink if you can't. Be alert and don't take your body seriously."

Wang Yulan asked in a soft voice, "Are you hungry? It seems that you didn't eat anything at night, so you haven't finished half a spoonful of rice, so there's nothing you can do."

Li Zhaokun nodded, wrinkles appearing on his face.

Wang Yulan turned over and got out of bed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something to eat. I won't stop for a while."

He said and went to the kitchen.

Li He looked at his father's expression and always felt that something was wrong. Even smiling seemed to require a lot of effort.

"Dad, are you okay?" For a moment, Li He had a bad premonition, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Can we go to the hospital?"

He clearly saw that Li Zhaokun wanted to wave his hand, but after moving his index finger, he put it down feebly.

He held back tears.

After Li Zhaokun finished his useless efforts, he lay motionless and quietly. It was stormy and thunderous. The sound of wind, rain and waves intertwined into one.

"Then" Li Zhaokun murmured amid the rumbling sound, "Polders are good for planting, but plum rain is sad. Xiaoman is dissatisfied, and Huangmei doesn't care."

His voice was so low that Li He could barely hear it by putting his ears close to him. After understanding the meaning, he smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that the rain will stop in two days? You, sleep well, don't Don’t worry about it.”

Li Zhaokun seemed to be asleep and did not respond for a long time.

"If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, just say it." Li He's heart was hanging.

Li Zhaokun said, "Let me tell you, your mother, you must be filial to her and don't let her cry."

Li He said, "You don't need to say these things, we are even filial to you."

Li Zhaokun said, "Your mother is so stupid. Don't let anyone fool you. Just watch her."

Li He said, "We are a big family. If anyone dares to mess with us, don't worry so much."

Wang Yulan brought in a bowl of soaked rice and a plate of hot scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Li He pulled up a bench and asked her to put things on it.

Wang Yulan said, "Don't lie down, get up and eat."

Li Zhaokun remained motionless.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Yulan took out a bottle of white wine from the corner and said with a smile, "Are you losing your appetite? I'll give you a drink, but don't drink more."

Li Zhaokun said, "I'm drunk, so I won't drink."

Li He sighed, ran to the main room, and called his eldest sister, Li Long and others with tears in his eyes.

Returning to the front room again, Li Zhaokun was still lying there with his eyes narrowed and not saying a word, as if he was taking a nap.

Wang Yulan stood aside, at a loss.

There was the sound of dogs barking in the distance. Li He opened the door, held a flashlight, and rushed forward early. He said to Li Long, who was walking over, "Keep your voice down, it depends on the situation."

Duan Mei said, "You two should stay outside. There are many people making noise. I'll go in and take a look."

Li Long stood under the eaves and lit a cigarette for himself. After a few puffs, he looked at his brother and threw one to him. The two brothers sighed.

About half an hour later, Li Mei's family also arrived.

Li Mei asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Li He pointed to the window and said, "I'm not awake yet, let's talk about it later."

When Li Zhaokun woke up, he found that the room was suddenly full of people and muttered, "It's not the New Year or the festival, what are you doing here?"

Li Mei wiped her tears, smiled reluctantly, and said warmly, "Mom asked me to come drink with you."

Li Zhaokun said, "You can't keep me company. When it comes to drinking, you are nothing. Don't embarrass me."

Li Mei said, "Dad, you can scold us when you should."

How she wished her father would say a few more words.

Li Zhaokun said, "Whatever you say, I can't tell you the same thing."

Wang Yulan held his hand and said with a smile, "Then you tell me and we will talk about it."

Her hand was held by another cold hand.

Li Zhaokun said, "Think about it, live with your son, old arms and legs, don't make yourself unhappy, go and enjoy the blessings of your son."

Wang Yulan said, "I'm not stupid. Of course I enjoy the blessing of having a son. It's because of their family that I won't leave in the future."

Li He said, "As long as we have something to eat, you two will be indispensable. Don't worry."

Li Zhaokun said, "You son of a bitch is trying to make me look bad, so you are not ugly."

"Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Mei burst into tears.

The air became solemn, and everyone could feel that Li Zhaokun was dying.

Li Zhaokun said, "I'll take a nap."

Suddenly, Wang Yulan felt the hand that was holding her loosen. She realized something and burst into tears.

Li Zhuang's dog barked louder.
