My 1979

It's snowing heavily outside. Li He had just finished a cup of tea in the office when Meng Jianguo asked him to help with the move.

Li He said, "Isn't the dormitory nice to live in?"

Meng Jianguo said, "Isn't my wife pregnant? When it snows now, people in the building are walking around, and the ground is covered with snow. Once it melts, it's full of water. It's very slippery. I see her going up and down every day. Everyone in the building is on tenterhooks and must change places to live.”

It is said that after three days of separation, Li He was a little caught off guard by Meng Jianguo's transformation. Can he change from a rough guy to a warm guy if the heater is turned on too much?

"Then let's wait until the snow stops before moving. There's so much snow outside, where can we move it?"

"Huangzhuang Community. The snow will be even heavier in the next few days. It's better to move now."

"Zhongguancun? It's still under construction, not to mention that it's a relocation house and the conditions are not that good."

"It's the Academician Building." Meng Jianguo said very proudly. Being able to live in the Academician Building is also a status symbol.

Li He said, "How did you get into the revolutionary ranks?"

Meng Jianguo said, "You forgot what my father-in-law did and moved to his house."

"Are you going to be your son-in-law?" Li He didn't forget to tease, and then he remembered that his father-in-law was an old engineer who assisted the Tanzania-Zambia Railway in the 1960s. He was a very kind old man. When Meng Jianguo got married, his parents never When he came from the countryside in southern Anhui, his father-in-law was very kind and respectful. There was no so-called family distinction or any airs. They truly regarded him as his son and daughter's in-laws.

The key point is that his wife is also a good one. Meng Jianguo took her back to the countryside in southern Anhui. She was not used to eating, drinking, and living. Even if her body was covered with lice, she still suffered from it, even if she was not used to the mountains or the fields. , I don’t dare to be interested in the vegetable garden, and I pretend to be interested. I don’t have the slightest bit of princess disease.

Therefore, Meng Jianguo was very grateful. He was now willing to be considerate to his daughter-in-law, which may not be without this reason.

Meng Jianguo didn't care, and even said with a hint of pride, "They only have one daughter in the house, and now only the old couple are left. The place is big. They feel sorry for their daughter, so I will follow them and take advantage of it."

"That's good. It's close to where she works, but you're a little far away. You have to go in a big circle."

Huangzhuang Community is right next door to the Affiliated Middle School, so it couldn't be more convenient for her wife to go to work.

Meng Jianguo said, "It doesn't matter if I travel more. I used to walk more than ten miles of mountainous roads to go to junior high school and high school. Is it possible that I can't walk on such a flat road now? You don't have class in the afternoon. If you don't have class now, Just follow me.”

Li He looked around and asked curiously, "Can't it be just the two of us?"

"Lao Mu and the others have classes now. Liu Yibo is not at school. Everyone else is under the control of my wife. It's hard for me to control them. Who else can I turn to besides you?"

"Hey." As expected, singles have no human rights. Li He then asked, "Where is Hu Yuanchao? Is that kid okay with his time at work?"

"you do not know?"

"what do you know?"

Meng Jianguo glanced at Li He with disdain and said, "You are a very good person, but you don't know about such a big thing. Now that you are the director of the teaching and research department, how can you have time to hang out with us in a pinch?"

"No wonder I said I can't see him normally." Li Hezhen hadn't seen Hu Yuanchao for a long time.

I followed Meng Jianguo to his house. There were big and small bags on the floor. There weren't many clothes, bedding, and some pots, pans, and stoves. Instead, the most were stacks of books.

Meng Jianguo pointed to a big bag on the ground and said, "These are clothes. You can carry this more easily."

The two men carried them downstairs one by one and loaded them into the tricycle. Meng Jianguo rode in front, and Li He pushed from behind.

A total of three cars ran, and two people's faces were red from the cold, and their noses were dripping with mucus. Li He helped put the last cart of luggage on the third floor of the Academician Building, then rubbed his hands and said, "Pack it up yourself, I'll leave first."

It was already five o'clock, and he was anxious to go back and wait for Shen Daoru's call.

Meng Jianguo's mother-in-law insisted on keeping him to eat, but he declined. Meng Jianguo couldn't stop him either.

He did not go back to school and took a shortcut to Zhongguancun and walked home.

When I got home, the door was open, and the fourth child and Li Qiuhong were warming themselves around the stove.

"You two didn't have class today?"

Li Qiuhong said, "There is only one class in the afternoon, and there will be no classes anyway due to the big week tomorrow. We came back early and went shopping."

The fourth child heated up the food on the stove for Li He and brought it to him.

"We have a holiday in a week. Why don't we take the train this year?"

Li He opened a bottle of wine for himself and took a sip, feeling the steam pouring from his throat into his stomach. It felt very comfortable. He glanced at Lao Si and then shook his head, "It's better to take a plane. The train is too slow."

Taking the train was too painful for him and he was not happy about it.

"Flights are expensive, but trains are cheap."

Li He said, "I don't want you to pay, so don't worry about it. I'll buy a ticket tomorrow." He could only buy a ticket after confirming the fourth child's holiday time.

"That's right, I don't want you to pay, so don't worry about it." Li Qiuhong followed suit.

The fourth child grabbed her ears angrily and said, "You are trying to squeeze me too."

Li Qiuhong pulled her hand away and said with a smile, "I won't make trouble with you anymore, I have to go home, otherwise my brother will come to me all over the world later."

Li He looked at the sky and said, "It's already dark. I'll deal with Li Bing one night and go back tomorrow."

"It's okay. You can take the tram from here directly to my door."

Seeing that she was about to go out, Li Bing stood up and followed her to the bus stop. The cold wind blew through the alley, whining and roaring, and breathing heavily. The bare trees were swaying left and right in the wind, and snowflakes were flying on the street.

"The umbrella is no longer lifted." Lao Si squinted and put away the umbrella, untied the scarf wrapped around his head and wrapped it around Li Qiuhong's head.

Li Qiuhong pushed away, "It's warm when we get to the bus. I'm wearing a scarf myself."

"Then wait a minute." When the fourth child saw Li Qiuhong getting on the bus, he turned around and covered his forehead with his hands, facing the wind and snow and slowly walked home. When I got inside, I patted the snow on my body and held the teacup on the table in my arms to warm my hands.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

Li He said while sipping the wine, "How come it's been so long and my Mandarin still hasn't improved."

Seeing that Li He didn't answer, the fourth child became a little anxious, "I really have something to tell you."

"Then just say it." Li He said disapprovingly.

"I want to go abroad." After the fourth child said this, he looked at Li He's expression, and then felt as if the air was still.

Li He's eyebrows were already raised, and he held the cup to his mouth without moving for a long time. After a long while, he drank it in one gulp, picked up a piece of salty radish and stuffed it into his mouth.

"no way."

He couldn't think of why he objected, he just wanted to object instinctively. He was tired of waiting, just plain tired.

The fourth child was anxious, "I'll take the public exam, brother, you don't have to spend a penny. I will definitely pass."

She had pondered over Li He's various attitudes for a long time, and had also thought that Li He would object, but she did not expect that Li He would object so directly, so simply and loudly, without any subtlety or room for negotiation.

"Serve me rice." Li He pushed the rice bowl in front of the fourth child.

The fourth child suppressed his grievance, picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen. He filled the big bowl vigorously before returning to the main room and placing it in front of Li He.

Li He turned a blind eye to her attitude and just ate and drank his own food.

"Hurry up and go to bed. Why are you here in such a cold weather?"

The fourth child said angrily, "Why?"

Li He waved his chopsticks irritably, "How can there be so many reasons? It's your business to study hard. I don't believe that such a big school can't accommodate you. I still want to go abroad. I can tolerate you."

The fourth child stamped his feet angrily, returned home and lay down on the table to cry, his shoulders and back shaking violently.

"I must have owed you something from my previous life."

Li He passed by her house and sighed heavily but did not comfort her.
