[123] The Educated Youth Returning to the City

The above story is over for now. The following story is an episode that happened before Zhong Kui and the others came to this county. It is directly related to the above story, so you have to read it. You must read it.

By the way, all kinds of movements have come to an end, and there are many educated youths returning to the city.

The station was crowded with people. Gao Zhili was shouting loudly, people were leaning out of the train window to watch people being picked up on the platform, and some were wearing blue sleeves to maintain order. The station was filled with all kinds of noises and bustle.

The same is true on the town pier, with a surging flow of people coming and going. The awning boat swung its wooden pulp and swam on the sparkling water, loaded with young men and women who were eager to return home, and docked in the direction of home.

In these educated youth teams, the age and background are complex and diverse. Some are young, some are in their forties, and due to various connections not being in place, the quota for returning to the city cannot be implemented. Therefore, under desperate circumstances, they have to

Those who are starting a family outside. It is hard to wait until the documents are issued before they have the opportunity to return to the home they have been away from for decades.

Among them was a middle-sized man wearing a blue Chinese tunic suit. He was carrying a simple suitcase in one hand and half-supporting his wife, who had a protruding belly with the other hand. He was looking around and nervously walking on the crowded pier.

"A-Liang, I'm afraid." Because she had just gotten off the awning boat and was among so many people, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She looked at the people with an uneasy expression and whispered to her husband beside her.

A Liang said.

"Don't be afraid as long as I am by your side. It will be fine when we get to the unit." A Liang was also sweating profusely. He leaned his wife closer to him and comforted him quietly.

An elderly man on the shore held a wooden sign with the names of two people written on it: Zhang Aliang and Xu Na.

"Hey! Teacher Liu, we are here..." The man who was supporting his wife was overjoyed when he saw the old man. When he shouted, he couldn't help but take a few steps quickly, wishing to get to the shore right away, but he still had to take care of the pregnant woman beside him, right? So

After taking a few quick steps, he hesitated, then quickly slowed down and walked leisurely to the shore.

The wife stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and looked at the old man who was waving to them, with a faint wry smile on his slightly pale face.

The old man was an old colleague of the man's father's workplace, and he was entrusted by his old friend to pick them up.

When Zhang Aliang and his wife Xu Na arrived at the shore, they greeted Master Liu who was picking them up.

Teacher Liu nodded with a smile and glanced at the latter's protruding belly, frowned, and the smile on his face froze.

Xu Na noticed Master Liu's expression was strange, and she looked at her husband in confusion.

Zhang Aliang gently hugged his wife's shoulders and said with a faint smile: "Master Liu, how is my father? Why didn't he come?"

Under Zhang Aliang's questioning, Teacher Liu's expression became complicated, and then he smiled calmly and said: "Your father is in the hospital." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, took Zhang Aliang's suitcase and said, "As long as you come back safely, let's go first.

Fill your stomach, then report to work, and then go to the hospital to see your father."

Zhang Aliang's father was an ordinary teacher in Tongchuan County. Because of his composition, he was treated as something bad. Not only did he lose his job as a teacher, he was also criticized on the high platform again and again.

It was because of this that Zhang Aliang was sent to a place far, far away for labor education.

After a few years, there were many unjust cases and the old cases were cleared up.

But Zhang Aliang's father had been honest all his life, without complicated interpersonal relationships, and without any support. Therefore, no one cared about his affairs, and his personal files had been stranded in those dark years.

Until one day, a new round of leaders of the school came to power and issued relevant documents. The old comrades who had taught and educated people in the school conducted a thorough search.

Only then did I discover that there was another old teacher who had not received corresponding attention and compensation. This old teacher was Zhang Aliang's father.

Under Teacher Liu's instructions, Zhang Aliang temporarily settled his wife in a friend's house, and then went to the hospital to see her father.

Dad was lying quietly in the morgue of the hospital, without leaving a single word for him.

A Liang did not shed tears. He stared for a long time at his father's gray and stiff hair and his quiet white face. His heart felt surprisingly calm.

Teacher Liu told A Liang that after the school discovered his father's condition, they searched for him for a long time before finding his father living under the bridge pier at the north gate of the county. When he was found, he was infected with the disease and was already terminally ill.

Because A Liang's father did not have a stable place to live. In addition, the ignorant A Liang believed that his misfortunes were all caused by his father, so he felt resentful in his heart and did not send letters to his father.

At this point, I have to mention A Liang’s story.

Because his family is poor, A Liang has a higher inferiority complex than usual. He envies his friends of the same age who are better off. They have food, clothing, and even walk with more dignity than him.

So when he was growing up, he always dreamed of being able to stand out one day.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came, and an overwhelming movement descended on the county.

Unbelievable scenes unfolded before A Liang's eyes. The family and friends he once envied were all criticized and punished to varying degrees.

Seeing the blood-heated scene of criticism, Ah Liang felt ready to move.

The next day, he joined the parade. His fighting spirit was high and he roared louder than anyone else.

A Liang is like a lost child who suddenly encounters pie-in-the-sky luck.

He immersed himself wholeheartedly in the passionate roar, imagining that hard work would bring him infinite power. Sports would be an opportunity for him to step into the sacred hall of prosperity, and he would deeply feel the brilliance reflected by his dreams.

Aliangmei was happily dreaming of his fantasy, because he confidently believed that this movement was just for him.

Unexpectedly, this good luck did not last long for him, and bad luck came unexpectedly.

Because his father couldn't stand those arrogant activists fighting against a weak woman, he stepped forward and said something treasonous.

My father was attacked and expelled from the teaching ranks.

Also implicated was Aliang. When he was holding a pointed hat and was about to put it on the person being criticized, someone pulled him off the stage and ordered him to take off his green military uniform immediately.

A Liang went home and had a big quarrel with his father. His father was very angry and picked up a broom to beat the unscrupulous man. He was already holding back his anger, but when his father's dancing broom hit him, he not only did not dodge, but also pulled him away.

He grabbed the broom and hit his father hard in the face.

The result is predictable. I don’t know whether it was because the father failed to dodge in time, or because he simply didn’t expect that his son would disobey him. The other end of the broom stabbed hard into the father’s eye socket. When the father screamed, the
