It has been another fifteen years since I arrived at the Hongqi Coal Mine in Southwest China, and it was 1979. In August of this year, my mother Zou Zhaodi, who had lived with Sun Chenghui and Liu Cunyi's family for more than 20 years, fell ill and was dying. Sun Chengwei

, Sun Chengfen received a telegram from Sun Chenghui and rushed to Southwest China from Anhui and other places.

This reunion in Southwest China made Sun Chenghui sigh with emotion: In the past fifteen years, the unprecedented proletarian massacre alone has been going on for ten years. Everyone has suffered enough, even people like Liu Cunyi.

You can imagine what happened to brother-in-law Tian Jianchuan and sister Sun Chengfen after they almost lost their lives. The years of suffering have left deep marks on the faces of Tian Jianchuan and Sun Chengfen. They are all extremely old. They look at least older than

Their actual age was more than ten years older. But their wrinkled faces were full of joy. As soon as they met, they told Sun Chenghui that Tian Jianchuan's rightist problem had been corrected and they were waiting for the organization to implement the policy. They also asked for Sun Chenghui's opinion.

, asked Sun Chenghui whether it would be better to stay in Anhui or return to Beijing Hongguang Middle School? After seeing their mother in the hospital, the couple talked about the Xiaozui Hutong in Beijing with her mother when she was awake, saying that they would wait until her mother recovered from her illness.

, I wanted to take my mother to Beijing to have a good look. My mother was so happy that she burst into tears.

My brother Sun Chengwei didn't look too old, but he was still so ridiculous. Not only did he arrive late, but he also brought a large bag of clothes with him when he was changing trains in Shanghai. He himself also put on a crappy plaid suit, like a returned overseas Chinese.

.Sun Chenghui asked him how he got here all these years, but Sun Chengwei didn't say anything. He was full of new terms and laughed, saying it was "a catastrophe". The country's leaders were killed, who can survive? Therefore, we must "unite"

Get up and look forward." Sun Chenghui asked clearly about the issue of "bad elements." Sun Chengwei said that all land-rich, rebels, right-wingers, and bad elements have been removed from their hats. How can we leave him alone as a bad element? According to Sun Chengwei, he is now completely law-abiding.

citizen.

Sun Chengwei, a law-abiding citizen, was still as cynical as before. When he got home the first day, he looked at the photos of his children in the frame over the past fifteen years and sighed sarcastically: "This is really earth-shaking and generous. A new generation is growing up.

!These little bastards are all acting like dogs!”

Sun Chenghui said: "Isn't that right? The five children are all grown up, and Cunyi and I are about to survive. You see, this is what I got when I aided Korea and worked as an apprentice foreman at the Yangshan Electronic Tube Factory for a month. This is a victory.

, taken when I joined the Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Team after being sent to the countryside. This is the Leap Forward, isn’t it like when I was a child? Now I am a nerd, reading books while walking, and just want to get into college. Oh, these two are ** and Dare to fight...

"

Sun Chengwei was very surprised: "Hey, Cheng Hui, why are you fighting with Dare? Aren't these twins called Difficult and Natural? Cunyi named them, and I was present when they were named."

Sun Chenghui sighed: "Don't mention it. Because of this name, Cunyi suffered a lot in the Communist Party. He was said to be so reactionary that his right arm was broken by a young Red Guard general. Later, the name was changed, so naturally

**, Difficulties should be replaced by courage to fight. Didn’t we talk about ‘dare to fight’ back then?”

Sun Chengwei frowned: "It's okay to call a boy **, but it's not good to call a girl Gandou."

Sun Chenghui said: "At that time, how could I care about what sounded good or bad? Brother, you don't know how powerful those young Red Guards were. They asked the household registration police to bring the household registration book to the scene of the criticism and asked Liu Cunyi to change it on the spot. The front house

The name of the old enemy's child was even worse. His original name was Qiu Qiangqiang. Whose hatred is increasing? Let's change it. Just as our country's artificial satellite was launched into the sky, it was renamed 'Man-made'..."

Sun Chengwei was delighted: "Oh, man-made? It must be man-made, not a dog!"

Sun Chenghui sighed: "Oh, what happened back then was so ridiculous..."

Just as he was talking, a girl who looked exactly like Sun Chenghui when she was young jumped into the house. Before the girl arrived, her voice came first: "Hey, Mom, is my uncle here?"

Sun Chenghui blurted out: "I'm here!" After saying that, he regretted it. He pointed at the girl's forehead and said, "What's the matter? You, like your uncle, never have a serious time. Your uncle is here. This is not you.

Uncle?"

Sun Chengwei looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "Is this our comrade Liu Xiaowu and Liu Gandou?"

Liu Gandou nodded, looking familiar: "Uncle, do you think my parents are not serious? They never give me a good name for seriousness. They first call me difficult, and then call me dare to fight. I am a girl.

Who are you fighting with?!"

Sun Chengwei was delighted: "Fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with people!"

Liu Gandou snorted and said, "Uncle, I will fight with you!"

Unexpectedly, the fight actually started, and the fight lasted for twenty years, causing Sun Chengwei to complain endlessly.

That night, Sun Chenghui and Sun Chengfen were chatting with their mother in the hospital. Liu Cunyi did not come back from a meeting at the mine. Sun Chengwei, the former head of the children, sat at the same table with Liu Yuanchao, Liu Yuejin, Liu **, Liu Gandou and other young comrades from those years.

We had a wonderful night all to ourselves. The only regret was that Liu Shengli, who was sent to the countryside, did not come back.

Twenty-seven-year-old Liu Yuanchao no longer had any trace of his mischievousness in his childhood. He became very serious and toasted to Sun Chengwei from time to time.

Sun Chengwei was so excited after drinking that he couldn't help but talk about the past: "...Yuan Korea, you were the naughtiest when you were a child, you were so courageous, you got into trouble every day, and your butt was about to be beaten to death by your father, but I often saved you

ah……"

Liu Yuanchao smiled gracefully, took a sip of wine, and looked like a gentleman: "Uncle, don't talk about the past. Didn't the newspaper say it? We need to look forward to everything."

Liu Gandou got excited: "You can't just look forward, you also have to remember the past. Lenin said that forgetting the past means betrayal - Uncle, please tell me more about my eldest brother's childhood deeds, so that ** and I can grow up too."

Long experience.”

Liu ** protected his elder brother: "Uncle, don't listen to Xiao Wu, she just wants to see his jokes."

Sun Chengwei said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore. Yuan Chao is now an adult and has become the third-in-command in your family. It would be embarrassing to talk about those things in the past. My uncle and Yuan Chao are old friends. What's going on?

We can't let our old friends lose face." Even so, Sun Chengwei still made a fool of himself by supporting Yuan Korea. He stretched his head in front of Yuan Chao and asked with great concern, "Hey, Yuan Chao, after I leave, your father will whip you.

Are you allowed to take off your pants now?"

Liu Gandou looked surprised: "Ah? Brother, our father used to make you take off your pants when he whipped you? Isn't this too humiliating?" Then, he laughed and said, "Uncle, if you don't tell me,

I never imagined that a great man like my eldest brother would have experienced such miserable, painful, and bleak years when he was a child! No wonder my eldest brother would rise up and rebel when the '*****' came, and in 1976

Will join in the '4th Five-Year Plan' movement again..."

Liu Yuanchao got really angry and threw his chopsticks: "Have you had enough, Liu Gandou? Do you think these things are fun?!"

Liu Yuejin, who was full of bookishness, gently advised: "Don't make any noise, everyone. Don't make any noise. Uncle, you are drinking. Big brother, you are too. Uncle and Xiaowu are just joking. How can you be serious?"

Liu Yuanchao then said: "Uncle, don't worry. I'm not here for you, but for Xiaowu Liu Gandou. Liu Gandou is a bad element in our family. He was beaten since childhood and was spoiled by my parents." He raised his glass.

, by the way, he fired back at Sun Chengwei: "Uncle, we no longer take class struggle as the key link, the landlords, rich, rebels, bad rightists have all taken off their hats. Come, I, an old friend, toast you and congratulate you on your success in getting rid of the bad elements."

hat!"

Liu Yuejin was shocked: "Brother, why are you talking like this? My uncle is a guest!"

But Sun Chengwei didn't care: "Nothing, nothing, uncle is not a guest! You are right to support Korea, uncle finally succeeded in taking off the hat of a bad element! The Party Central Committee said in the communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that in the future we will not engage in any

Class struggle is the key link, and you no longer have the opportunity to wear the hat of a bad element. Just because of this, we really have to have a few drinks!" After saying that, he raised his glass and said, "Come, comrades, drink to your future without the hat!

"

After returning to his room after drinking and eating, Liu Gandou, the "bad element" of the Liu family, also entered the room. As soon as he entered the room, Liu Gandou rummaged through the large bag of clothes that Sun Chengwei had brought, and took out one or two items from time to time.

The dress is gesturing on his body.

Sun Chengwei asked proudly: "How are you, Xiaowuzi, are these clothes beautiful?"

Liu Gandou nodded and said, "She's quite beautiful." As he said that, he put a coat on his body, smiled at Sun Chengwei, and said, "Uncle, you are really a family, why are you still like this?"

You're welcome?! You brought us so many beautiful clothes at once, I'm so touched!"

Sun Chengwei said hurriedly: "Hey, little five, don't be too busy being moved. My uncle will only give you one piece."

Liu Gandou kicked the big bag of clothes with his feet: "Then who will give these many good clothes left? Keep them to get moldy?"

Sun Chengwei said: "Don't bother me about this. There are no more clothes left. They are all from Shanghai and cannot get moldy."

Liu Gan quarreled: "Why can't mold happen? The air here is not as humid as in the north..."

Sun Chengwei saw the trick: "Dare to fight, are you trying to rip off your uncle?"

Liu Gandou shouted straightly: "Uncle, what is this word? What is this word? I am afraid that you will cause waste. Chairman Mao taught us that corruption and waste are huge crimes. Uh, uncle, you definitely don't want to commit a crime, right?"

"

Sun Chengwei couldn't laugh or cry: "I definitely don't want to."

Liu Gandou took out a skirt and a top from his big bag and put it on his elbow: "Okay, uncle, I will help you wear these first to reduce waste..."

Sun Chengwei didn't want to stop him or not. He thought about it nervously and was forced to start his first business negotiation with his niece: "Okay, okay, Liu Xiaowu and Liu Gandou, I've convinced you, no wonder I want to help you."

You are a bad element in your family! Let’s do this: According to the principle of socialist remuneration for work, your boy will help me sell this bag of clothes, and I will give you an extra skirt. How about it? See clearly,

Real Shanghai products!”

Liu Gandou jumped up with joy: "Oh, uncle, this is great! To tell you the truth, ** and I had nothing to do after graduating from high school. ** was about to sign up to join the army, but mine manager Liu and his wife wanted to let me and

Sister, I don’t want to be sent to the countryside like my second brother! Uncle, from now on, I will help you sell clothes professionally! However, uncle, I helped you sell so many clothes, so you let me earn a skirt.

Isn’t it a bit too exploitative?”

Sun Chengwei looked at Liu Gandou steadily: "Okay, how much do you think you should earn?"

Liu Gandou tilted his head and thought for a while: "Uncle, how about selling ten pieces and earning one?"

Sun Chengwei shook his head: "Sell fifteen pieces and earn one. This is a very good deal."

Liu Gandou sighed exaggeratedly: "Forget it, uncle, I will give in one more step and sell twelve pieces to earn one."

Sun Chengwei thought for a while: "Okay, if you dare to fight, for the sake of you calling me uncle, let's make this decision first!"

Liu Gandou took Sun Chengwei's arm and said, "Uncle, since you are my uncle, I don't care."
