My 1979

Li He took out his cell phone and tried to call Ping Song and asked where Mr. Zhu lived. As expected, Ping Song knew. Since old man Zhu was in poor health, Pingsong was responsible for carrying many of the good things he received and then delivering them to Li He's home personally.

Old Zhu and his family were placed in a turnover room in Mentougou, and there were many shacks along the way. The plan for demolition is to demolish first, build houses later, move first and then resettle.

If you are lucky and have connections, you can get a temporary house to live in. Those who cannot live in government housing and have no way to live with relatives and friends can only temporarily live in shacks that are not protected from wind and rain. The bricks, mortar, door and window strips of these shacks are all removed from old houses.

Li He's car stopped on the side of the road, ready to look for it slowly. But there was no need to ask. After walking a few steps, he found old man Zhu enjoying the cool under the shed.

Old Man Zhu was slumped on the couch, as if he was a zombie, his cheeks were sunken, his neck was drooping involuntarily, and his head seemed to be hanging by a rope. Only two buttons of his coat were buttoned, leaving only his stiff and shriveled chest.

"Hey, Master Zhu, do you still have a chance to live in a new house like this?" Li Heqiang teased with a smile. He never imagined that such a spirited old man would become what he is today.

"Nonsense, I'm still breathing." Old Zhu tilted his neck and his words were slurred. Naturally he was very happy to see Li He. He pointed to the stool next to him with a trembling finger and said, "Sit down, sit down. "

He was panting heavily, as if he was afraid that he would forget what he was going to do.

"Weiqi, get a cigarette." He shouted hard into the room again, but his voice was still not loud.

The door of the room opened, and Zhu Weiqi came out. He was a little frightened when he saw Li He, and unnaturally handed Li He a cigarette.

"Thank you." Li He answered politely, "You didn't go to work? What were you doing at home?"

Zhu Weiqi is still working in Fangfang's printing factory and has stabilized.

Zhu Weiqi said, "Manager Fang and I asked for leave and came back to take care of my father."

"Oh, that's good." Li He lit up the cigarette. Although Zhu Weiqi was a bit confused, her filial piety was commendable, "You are busy with your business and don't worry about me."

Zhu Weiqi poured a cup of tea for Li He and returned to the house. He was still a little uncomfortable in front of Li He.

Old Man Zhu looked at his grandson's back and said, "I'm not here anymore. Please help me take care of him. Even though he is in his twenties, he is still a fool. His father doesn't care about him, so I won't be able to survive for a few days. Still. Zeng Guofan said, "I think the children of poor families in the countryside are more likely to grow up the more they are looked down upon, and the children of rich families are more likely to be grown up if they are looked down upon." I have really raised a child badly. From now on, you educate your children. This is also true."

Li He felt sour, but still smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm here. Have you gone to the hospital? Why don't you go to the hospital again? The living conditions here are not good."

"It's good, it's good. It's comfortable enough with lights and electricity. It's just that water is not very convenient. The water truck brings water every day." Old man Zhu sighed, "My employer wants to take me to the hospital, but I'm not happy. I can't stand the smell. I'm content, I have nothing to regret, and I've lived long enough. It's no use living so long. I still have regrets in this life."

"At least you have made a contribution to Chinese archeology, which is not simple." Li He could only say it as smoothly as possible.

"No, I'm just a coward." Old Man Zhu wanted to shake his head, but his neck couldn't hold it anymore. "The year the Japanese invaded Shonan, I was the director of education in Wugang. I was timid and ran away first if I left behind students. Now that I think about it, I am not a human being. Why was I so timid when I was young? Later, when Yang Shaohua became the director of education and took over my position, he looked down on me. I sent him several letters, but he ignored me. . I was so ashamed that I never had the shame to go back to my hometown, but who knows how much I miss home. I have to thank Xue Yue. The battle in Changsha was considered a meritorious service and relieved my guilt, but I have been thinking about it for the rest of my life. It’s not pleasant. I heard that he went to Taiwan and is still alive now. A hero like him should live a long life. If there is a chance in the future, I mean if, if you see him, say thank you to me. "

Xue Yue was born in 1896, the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. He also graduated from the prestigious Baoding Military Academy. Later, when Sun Yat-sen became the president, Xue Yue, Ye Ting and Zhang Fakui served as his bodyguards, serving as commanders of the first, second and third battalions respectively, with Chen Keyu as the regimental commander.

"Definitely, definitely." No matter what the conditions are, whether they can be achieved or not, Li He can only agree, which is considered to have fulfilled the old man's wish. As for the past rights and wrongs, who can say clearly?

Old Man Zhu continued, "I like you kid. You are very rooted. I would be ashamed to say that you look like me when I was young, but you really look like me when I was young. According to me, your current status should be advanced." Let’s hug each other, but no, it’s still the same. There is a famous saying in our hometown, of course it was Zeng Shatou who said, ‘If you have a broad mind, you must learn from being ordinary’. You are very good, very good.”

Li He said with a smile, "As long as I don't have a gun, I can deal with two people. Besides, only guards at the provincial or ministerial level or above the military level are equipped with guards. Who am I? I have two bad guys, and I am not worthy of shouting and cheering."

Old Man Zhu dragged his head and reluctantly nodded, "It is always right to live in the dust and look down on things. The arrogant Nian Gengyao met a sad end because of his ignorance in life, so he Being big but not arrogant, taking credit but not being arrogant are the fundamentals of being a human being."

"I've been taught a lesson." Li He nodded in approval.

"Help me call Wei Qi over."

Li He stood up and called Zhu Weiqi out.

Zhu Weiqi squatted in front of Old Zhu, feeling inexplicably sad, "Sir, tell me, I will listen to you from now on."

Old Man Zhu said, "Tell your dad that if I go, burn the bones and keep the ashes and bury them back in my hometown."

Zhu Weiqi buried her head on Old Man Zhu and cried, "I understand, Master."

"Unlock the key from my waist and move the box next to my bed."

Zhu Weiqi obeyed and unlocked the key on Old Zhu's waist, then went back to the house and moved a heavy wooden box over.

"Master, here you are."

"Open." Old Man Zhu had already closed his eyes, but he seemed to have more strength when speaking.

Zhu Weiqi opened the wooden box with trembling hands. There were only two porcelain jars, a jade bi and three books in the wooden box.

Old Man Zhu said to his grandson, "I can't leave this to you. You can't take care of it and you don't have the ability to take care of it. Now I'll leave it to you, Brother Li. He can take care of you. Do you understand?"

Zhu Weiqi cried and nodded.

"This is too expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it. But don't worry, I will take care of Wei Qi." Li He suddenly remembered Shoushan's words before and was a little hesitant to accept these things.

Old Man Zhu was trembling all over, a little anxious, and said in a pleading tone, "You can, I believe you."

Li He wanted to speak, but Old Man Zhu continued, "I will never beg anyone in my life, so I am begging you."

Li He took a deep breath and looked at the sallow old man Zhu. He couldn't bear it and agreed, "Really, I will take care of him and make sure he can't bear any grievance."

"Then I'll be relieved." Old Man Zhu smiled, "What's the wonder of the eight hundred miles of Dongting! The smell!"

He wished he could become one with the mountains and rivers of his hometown.

Then he said to himself, "Shake, shake, shake, chirp, shake, chirp, and chirp to collect firewood. I pick up a handful a day, a burnt in ten days, and send it to grandma's house to burn. Grandma sends the chirp three feet of cloth."

Before I finished singing this sentence, I suddenly felt my head tremble and lost my voice. There were still tears in my eyes.

"Master, master, grandpa!" Zhu Weiqi saw that old man Zhu was silent. He did not yell, as if he understood something, "Master!"

Li He tried Old Man Zhu's breathing with hazy tears. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Finally, he said to Zhu Weiqi, "No. Call your parents."

The tears finally couldn't hold back anymore and fell down suddenly.
