My 1979

"Forget it, go back. Aren't you going to run away tomorrow?" Li He also insisted on letting He Zhaodi go back.

He Zhaodi smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, so let's go on a crazy boat."

The trembling waist and limbs were like beating flames, which made Li He's heart flutter. "I almost forgot, it's so fast. Why is it tomorrow is New Year's Eve?"

The hunchback has a quarrelsome temperament and doesn't want two people to mess around. "Go back, go back. It's useless to keep people here. It's good if you have this heart."

He Zhaodi said, "It's always good to have one more person. What if something happens at night, right?"

None of them could convince anyone, and finally Li He said, "Keep them all."

The hunchback stamped out the cigarette butt on the ground and entered the house.

He Zhaodi asked Li He, "Have you had dinner?".

Li He said, "No, you haven't eaten either. Just wait here. I'll go outside to see if there is anything to eat and bring you some."

He Zhaodi held him back and said, "Just wait, I'll go out."

Without giving Li He a chance, Teng Teng ran out.

The hunchback was leaning against the wall at this time. He didn't know whether he was happy or nervous. He asked Li He for a cigarette, lit it, stood up and faced the window of the ward, and started smoking heavily.

"Do you think this child will have an easy life?".

Li He said, "This child is fine even if he is exposed to the cold in Hepo. He will definitely be fine in the future. His life is tough."

"I'm afraid. There were seven brothers and sisters in my family, and I am the only one left behind. There are brothers and sisters. One year they said that the Japanese and Ben people were going to enter Xuzhou, so my mother took us to flee. She couldn't tell them apart. In the Qing Dynasty, southeast and northwest, I thought it would be fine if the Japanese and Ben people could not be found. I was running around begging for food, but I couldn't even beg for food. So I sold my sister to be a wife for others, thinking that I could live with my three brothers. What? They were all eating with the three brothers, but they couldn't walk halfway, and they couldn't move anymore. They held on to their last breath and told us that they must bury her. Someone else's wild dog took her away. My old man The eldest brother and the second brother were both young men. A troop of soldiers passed by, and the two brothers captured the young men together. I was only ten years old at that time. I didn’t know how I survived. I was alone. My name was Tian Tianying. The earth is not functioning well. Do you think this human life is cheap?"

The hunchback talked a lot, as if talking to Li He, or talking to himself.

Li He never knew Tuozi's story. He only knew that he escaped from another place. Today, when he heard him say this, he felt a sense of sadness, "In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass."

"At that time, the Yellow River was dug and the Huaihe River flooded. More and more people were fleeing. I followed the fleeing team in a daze. Maybe because I was young and a little hunchback, I easily gained sympathy when passing by the market town. , people were willing to enjoy the steamed buns, so I was hungry and full. Later, I worked as a long-term worker and met your grandfather. He was a few years older than me at that time and settled down here. It's a pity that I am the only one left. It’s so bare”.

"My grandpa?" Li He also knew nothing about this. Is this considered a family secret? Listen to the hunchback more carefully.

"Yes, it's that old guy Li Fucheng. We both work as long-term workers for wealthy families. Even though I'm a hunchback, I'm much more diligent than him. He's much lazy than me. A lazy donkey pees a lot. He suffers from headaches for three days and fever for two days. Yes, it turned out that he was living with a wife, and I didn’t get anything out of it. I am now a single man.”

Li He was stunned, "No way, my grandpa is a very hard-working person."

The hunchback said disdainfully, "Be diligent? You are forced to do that. First it is your father, then your two uncles. The kid goes to the ground one by one. When he goes to the ground, he needs food and something to chew on. How can he not be diligent? ?".

"Hehe", Li He smiled awkwardly. He was his own grandfather, so naturally he couldn't say anything. Just out of curiosity, it turns out that laziness can be hereditary. No wonder Li Fucheng was so emboldened every time he scolded Li Zhaokun. Only when his grandmother scolded him did he feel emboldened.

He Zhaodi came back and said with a smile, "The restaurants are closed. I only bought a few pancakes and borrowed a bottle of hot water. Let's eat some."

"I also bought cigarettes. These are good. I feel bad without cigarettes." The hunchback took apart the cigarettes and muttered, "Why did you buy such good cigarettes? It's a waste of money."

"Good cigarettes are comfortable to smoke," Li He couldn't help but think fondly. This cigarette should have been bought for him, and the hunchback might have just dipped his toes in it.

After eating the pancakes and chatting a bit, the hunchback probably felt sleepy and fell asleep next to the empty bed, snoring a little loudly.

Li He didn't feel sleepy, so he stood in the corridor in a daze.

He Zhaodi asked, "Is it the snoring that's bothering you?".

"It's okay, it's not noisy. I used to have four people in the dormitory, and one of them snored louder." Li He was talking about Zhao Yongqi. The snoring was really not something ordinary people could bear, so he occasionally made jokes about Ma Jincai. He was definitely a woman. Only a man can bear to sleep with Zhao Yongqi on the same bed.

He Zhaodi pushed open the door of the room next door and said in surprise, "This door is open. You can come here to rest, otherwise the hospital will go to work at dawn and you won't be able to sleep."

Li He turned on the flashlight and found the pull switch on the wall. He tried several times but the light didn't come on. "The light is broken. There are two beds over there. Let's lie down on one of them."

He Zhaodi used the light of the flashlight to tidy up the bed and said, "It smells like this. Don't take off your clothes. Just lie down."

Li He found two pillows, put them on his head and lay down. Seeing He Zhaodi leaning against her, his hands touched the soft curves, and he didn't reject her, "Just don't move."

"You're so stinky, I won't touch you." Although He Zhaodi said this, she still pulled Li He down to her arm.

"Your arms are too short, you can't hold me."

"I can hug you even if you can't, as long as I'm happy."

"Are you comfortable like this?" Face to face, nose to nose, the tender touch at that moment made Li He breathe a little nervous.

"I wish I were a boy", He Zhaodi said this after a long time.

"Why?".

"That way I can be with you during the day, and no one will gossip."

"Maybe, but is it interesting for a man to be with a man?" This pure and innocent girl, full of youthful vitality, made him feel a dull pain in his heart.

"Does it have to be fun to be with other people?"

What does this mean? Li He couldn't figure it out. Is this a physiological problem or a philosophical problem?

He changed the subject, "Your business is pretty good, right? You can't even buy a motorcycle."

"Of course, I already have two boats. I understand why my mother wants to have a son. If I have an older brother, or a younger brother who can work, he can help me sail the boat. Girls don't have much strength."

This was the first time that Li He heard He Zhaodi surrender, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Girls have their uses as girls, and boys have their uses as boys."

"So I will have a son in the future," He Zhaodi said firmly.

"What about giving birth to a girl?" Li He didn't expect He Zhaodi's thought to change so drastically.
