After the three of them finished a bottle of white wine, they became more and more talkative. Li He had the heart to talk to He Jun, so he didn't hide it anymore. He looked at He Jun, who was gulping down a mouthful of white wine, and seemed to have something on his mind. He asked directly, "What's wrong with you drinking alone?"
He Jun glanced at Li He. "Do you know about the war in the south?"
Li He nodded. "Yes, it was in the newspaper at the beginning of the year."
He Jun clinked his glass with Li He's and sighed. "A few young people in the commune died. I went to give their families compensation, but they cried so miserably that I felt bad. I didn't dare to stay any longer and didn't know what to do. Who wouldn't feel bad when so many young people died?"
Li He didn't know how to respond. He suddenly felt bad. The three of them clinked their glasses and drank.
He Jun picked up some food and said, "But you have a bright future. Work hard and you'll be better than me."
The two of them drank a few glasses and talked freely. Li He knew that He Jun's promotion had caused many in-laws to die, so he decided to do him a favor. He said directly, "You're a writer in the commune. If you were promoted normally, the higher-ups would make room for you. Why don't you use your advantages? Have you read the Guangming Daily's editorial?" “
Those who paid attention would know which article it was without even needing the name. Those who didn't pay attention would just say it. How could an enterprising person like He Jun not read such a controversial editorial? He Jun suddenly became spirited. He took a puff of his cigarette and let out a long puff of smoke. He asked, "Say it properly. I'm a muddle-headed person."
Li He said, "Why don't you think about the land contract? This kind of debate hasn't been settled yet. You can find the right side with your pen and pick a side. You don't have to worry about your future."
The two of them talked more and more without regard for time. One was purposely giving up and the other was being a sponge.
Li He looked at the darkening sky and couldn't be bothered with He Jun anymore. He rushed to pay the bill and hurried home with Da Zhuang. He was a little drunk. He lit a cigarette and let the spicy taste of tobacco swirl in his lungs. His mind gradually became clear.
The day of school was getting closer. Li He took a bus from the county to the provincial capital and booked a train ticket in advance. He went back to the aquatic products company to greet the old man and brought a carton of cigarettes. Although he wasn't doing business anymore, he still had to greet the old man.
Hearing that Li He was going to go to college, Mr. Zhang said, "You little brat, you already know how to act like a calf at such a young age. You have a bright future. Grandfathers start from the grandson generation. If you want to be a grandfather, you have to learn to be a grandson first."
This sentence made Li He laugh. He really wanted to ask, "Are you reborn? What is the number penguin?"
After lunch, he hurriedly urged Four to go to school. He didn't want to waste time. In Li He's family, Third Brother was the most worried. Li He said to Li Long, "You know what I'm most worried about. You don't have a mind of your own. It's not important whether you study or not. You have to use your brain and have your own ideas. Don't be led by the nose by others, understand? You still can't contact Duan Mei. Can you date her? If you can, I'll ask Mom or Grandma to arrange a marriage for you. "
Although his family no longer harvested eels, Lee Long would often go to the bridgehead of the Red River to help his two uncles harvest eels just to see the girl he loved. The two of them would only occasionally exchange a few words. As for whether they liked her or not, how could the two of them say it out loud?
Seeing Li Long's expression, Li He understood. "Alright, you're old enough. If you like her, just tell her. How old is that girl? She's pretty. How can she not have her eyes on her? Don't let her take you away. You can't even buy medicine for regret. Why don't you go there every day? What's the matter? If you're too embarrassed to ask, bring Big Sister to ask around. "
Hearing this, Li Long was a little flustered. Yes, that girl was already 16 years old, the same age as him. He had no choice but to agree hurriedly.
Li He went to Li Mei and told Li Long what was on his mind. He said, "Sister, go and see what's on the girl's mind. You girls are so intimate. Lao San is too shy. Go and see which family in Shang Wan. If you like her, go and ask someone you know. Dongmei's family is in Shang Wan, right?"
Li Mei smiled and said, "Hehe, Lao San is not a child anymore. How come you still don't know her family situation after such a long time?"
Li He shook his head and said, "Do as you see fit. I can't interfere anyway. I'm just telling you."
Every day, Li He had nothing to do at home, so he dragged Li Long to attend ideological and political education classes. Lao San had graduated from primary school, could read, and knew how to add and subtract within 100. After so many years of school, it would be very difficult for him to take the junior high school entrance exam. It would be difficult for him to be a gangster in junior high school. Now there was only Four in the family. He had just entered the fifth grade and went to school happily with his school bag on his back every day. This was a worry-free life. Five's household registration had been settled and he had paid a fine of 200 yuan. However, he was still young, so the school did not accept it.
Looking back at Li Zhaokun in this life, no one objected to the issue of studying. Of course, he did not support it either. He just let it go and did not care how it was done. Although Wang Yulan often cried, as long as her son wanted to go to school, she would lend money to him. Normally, people would say that it was enough for him to learn a few words. Since the family was so poor, what was the point of going to school? Wang Yulan was illiterate. She did not support going to school, nor did she know the high theory of going to school. She would not think in that direction whether studying was useful or not. She just did not know how to refuse her son's desire to go to school.
Li Zhaokun and Wang Yulan did not have a preference for boys. In an ordinary family, Four and Five might not be able to survive. Especially Five was a girl, and she was fined for giving birth to another child. In the countryside, the concept of raising children to take care of one's old age was very strong. People would be looked down upon if they did not have a son, and they would feel inferior. For example, when someone was getting married, he would only ask the neighbor who had a son to help. It was for good luck to have a son as soon as possible. People would not ask the "old extinct" for help on happy occasions. As time passed, the "old extinct" themselves felt inferior. They wanted to help, but they were afraid of bringing bad luck to others.
There were still many people who would not give up until they had a son. Because daughters were raised by others. Sons were their own. Without sons, who would take care of them when they died?
However, if the first child was a girl, and the second child was also a girl, it would be difficult to have a third child. Those who were soft-hearted and did not want to strangle the baby girl, but still wanted to have a third child, could only hide and give birth, waiting for the public to come and punish them. If they could not afford the fine, they could only wait for their house and property to be destroyed.
Many times, it was more common to suffocate to death while holding a small bag or being buried in the ashes of a pot. Sometimes, Li He could not help but think that he had sinned, but there was nothing he could do.
Li He looked at Four and Five. He did not think that Li Zhaokun was wise. Instead, he felt lucky that his father was not a good person. His two uncles, Li Zhaoming and Li Zhaohui, were normal people, but they would give all the good food to their sons, and their daughters did not like them either. People like Wang Yulan and his aunt, Li Zhaoyun, were completely blind and illiterate. As for Li Zhaokun, he was at least in elementary school.
The closer he got to leaving, the more anxious he became, and the more he could not let go of his family. Ceng Qingchun was ignorant and fearless. She just wanted to leave this remote place, but Li He was sick of the poverty. This place was so backward and poor that he dreamed of escaping one day. He wanted to see the world and live a better life. Other than studying or joining the army, there was no other way for children from the countryside to leave. As for hiring, that was just a myth. Later, he went to the capital to study. It was so good, so good that it was unbearable. There were flyovers, highways, everything was incomparable to his poor hometown. The capital was so big, and he was like an ant. It was scary but exciting at the same time. However, as he drifted further away, he realized that he could not stop thinking about his hometown.
