There is no train from Quanzhou City to Wude County. Xu Junran could only wait for four hours at the bus station in the city, and then rode a bus on the rugged mountain road for three hours before returning to the place where he had lived his entire life.
hometown.
After getting off the bus, before Xu Junran had time to lament the changes in his hometown over the past few decades, a shrill cry sounded in his ears.
"Robbery!"
A woman's shout rang in Xu Junran's ears.
Immediately after he shouted "Ah", Xu Junran's expression changed!
Turning around, what Xu Junran saw was a scene that shocked him.
In an open space at the bus station, several people were surrounding a young man, punching and kicking him. The scream just now should have come from the young man being beaten. Standing next to them, a woman with disheveled hair was suffering.
begging.
Frowning his brows, Xu Junran glanced at the guys who were beating people and found that they were not very old. They were holding sticks as thick as bowls in their hands, and they were swearing something dirty. Although the people around them were
They were watching, but they didn't stop him. They seemed to be used to it.
"Please, let's not give up. Don't beat my son."
The woman was half-kneeling on the ground, pleading bitterly with the young men. The young men on the ground had been beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
"Haha, you stinky bitches, you are telling me, why don't you just hand over the money obediently and that's the end of it? You have to let me take it by myself. See, are you hurt?" One of those young men had long hair.
Yes, he stopped his fists and said with a smile.
"Here you go! Give it all to you! Please let my son go." The woman threw her purse on the ground and kowtowed to several people.
Seeing this, Xu Junran could no longer bear it. He put the luggage bag on his back on the ground, picked up a brick, threw it over, and shouted: "Get out of here!"
At this moment, he didn't think about whether he could defeat these people. For Xu Junran, who had been an orphan for two generations, mother was always a taboo word.
"I X!" Xu Junran's brick hit the unsuspecting young man. The man yelled and turned around to run towards Xu Junran. The people behind him also left the young man who was being beaten and went straight to Xu Junran.
But before he could rush to Xu Junran, he heard someone shout: "Hey!"
Then, the guy flew up like a cloud, and suddenly hit the side wall of the bus parked nearby, unable to get up again.
Xu Junran was also startled, but when he looked at the figure who kicked the young man away, his tense expression suddenly relaxed.
"Uncle Huzi..." Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Xu Junran swallowed back the word uncle.
I saw a figure nearly two meters tall standing not far in front of Xu Junran. He was in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese character face, and a simple and honest smile on his face.
"Junran, why are you back?" The man known as Huzi turned his head to look at Xu Junran and asked with a smile.
Xu Junran showed a sincere smile and said to the first acquaintance he met after his rebirth: "I graduated and was assigned to the county party committee."
Huzi, whose name is Li Yifeng, is from the town called Lijia Town where Xu Junran's parents were devolved. In Xu Junran's previous life, this uncle Huzi was promoted to deputy director-level Municipal and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary, because when his father Li Dongyuan retired,
He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangnan Provincial Committee and secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee.
Li Dongyuan was one of the people who helped Xu Junran get promoted to mayor in his previous life.
Wude County is the most barren area in Quanzhou City. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a remote area. Even in the county seat, only the county committee and county government are three-story buildings. I heard that it was before liberation.
What is left, most of the remaining ones are bungalows and even thatched houses.
As the saying goes, poor mountains and rivers produce unruly people. The more difficult the environment, the more difficult it is for the rulers to manage the common people.
Wude County is such a place.
In Wude County, there are a total of five towns and six natural townships, and among these townships, their main constituents are clans.
Taking Lijia Town as an example, most people are surnamed Li, and the surname Li has naturally become the popular surname in Lijia Town. Father and son such as Li Dongyuan and Li Yifeng were born in Lijia Town.
The relationships between these clans are different, but they are extremely united internally. When one family has something to do, every family contributes.
Xu Junran's adoptive father was born in Lijia Town. His parents came with the group of intellectuals who were sent to Lijia Town, but they were different from the other "Smelly Old Nine" who squatted in cowsheds and worked hard.
Similarly, the prestige of the adoptive father's parents in Lijia Town is even higher than that of the oldest elders of the Li family clan.
The reason for all this is that there was an influenza in Lijia Town. To modern people, influenza is just a matter of going to the hospital and getting a few shots. But in the early 1960s, this kind of acute respiratory infectious disease could be
It's life-threatening. In less than a week, 70% of the entire Lijia Town population developed symptoms such as fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, body muscle and joint aches and discomfort, etc. Some even began to develop...
Pneumonia or stomach flu.
In order to help these mountain people who had never been to a hospital, Xu Junran's adoptive father risked his life to go into the mountains to collect herbs, and finally found herbs that could cure influenza. For half a month, he kept traveling back and forth between the mountains and the town.
He went up to the hospital to treat patients. In the end, due to overwork, he lost his footing and fell off a cliff. Unfortunately, he died, leaving behind his wife who was still eight months pregnant.
Xu Junran's adoptive father's mother worked as a teacher in Lijia Town for ten years. During that turbulent era, she taught the people of Lijia Town how to read and write, leaving the seeds of civilization for Lijia Town. In Xu Junran's previous life,
In my memory, during the reform and opening up period in Wude County, Lijia Town was the first to become wealthy, and most of those people who were smart in doing business were the students of Xu Junran's adopted parents.
Of course, this great mother also died of overwork and illness when Xu Junran's adoptive father was ten years old.
On the day she passed away, four elders from the Li family ancestral hall, which had always favored boys over girls, personally carried her coffin and buried her!
Xu Junran's adoptive father was raised by people in Lijia Town under such circumstances, and his teacher was a professor at a normal university in Lijia Town who was sent to Lijia Town just like his parents.
Xu Junran's feelings for Lijia Town have never changed in his past life. To him, those simple villagers are family members whose blood is thicker than water.
For the people of Lijia Town, Xu Junran is the most promising and proud person in the entire Lijia Town. You know, there are only two college students in Quanzhou City, and one of them is Xu Junran. Not to mention that he is also Li
The descendant of a great benefactor in his hometown, Xu Junran vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Li Yifeng was already the secretary of the Municipal Law Committee, but when his adoptive father passed away, he cried like a teenager.
At this time, Li Yifeng, who was in his early twenties, was looking at him with a smile.
"Li Laohu, what the hell do you mean!" At this time, a loud shout interrupted Xu Junran's thoughts.
