"Old Wei, who are you being asked about? Why are you talking about this?"
Du Dayong could only smile and said.
"The retirement salary is different. Listening to Aunt Wei's powerful voice, she must have been a good voice in the Coal Bureau when she was young!"
Wei Kailan was happy when he heard it.
"Young man, you are right. At that time, whether I was singing revolutionary songs or model operas, I was not the best in the Beihe Bangzi bureau."
"Aunt Wei must have a very good memory, and she must remember things from back then very well."
Du Dayong could only say with a smile, otherwise these old people would just ignore you if they said they didn't, and they would still show love to you.
"I like to listen to what you guys say. Which singer and opera singer can't memorize the lyrics? Now I sing "Yuanmen Zhanzi" without missing a single word. Are you asking Li Fang?"
"She disappeared in early December of 1967. I have a diary. I'll take it out for you and take a look at it. I haven't looked at it for a long time. I didn't expect this to happen today!"
The old lady got up and went to the back room with a smile. The old man in the living room smiled and shook his head and said.
"My wife has loved singing and opera all her life! What you said really tickled her itch."
The old lady was very fast, and in a short time she had picked up a stack of notebooks with portraits on them.
"This is a diary from the 1960s to the 1970s. It cannot be counted as a diary. Sometimes it is a diary, sometimes it is a three- or four-day diary. The longest was six days. That was because I had to attend rehearsals and stay in the art troupe.
It’s been five days, you take it and read it. This book is from December 1967. I turned to that page for you and put a bookmark on it.”ωωw..net
The old lady handed the diary to Du Dayong with a happy face.
Du Dayong took the diary. The color was a little faded, but it was well maintained. After opening it, you could see a beautiful handwriting.
"Overcast Tuesday, December 19, 1967."
"I always have a red heart facing the direction where the national flag of the motherland is flying. This line is obviously bolded!
"Today is the second day since Li Fang and Wu Xuehua didn't come to work. I'm very scared. I don't know if they have become our enemies. The organization came to talk to me today and asked me to recall whether Li Fang and Wu Xuehua had any problems.
I tried hard to think of something wrong for a long time. Except that Li Fang had relatives who ran away to the treasure island of the motherland, I really couldn’t think of anything wrong with these two people. Could it be that they had already escaped on the enemy’s plane? But they
Where was he picked up by the enemy's plane? Fortunately, except for Li Fang's child, no other children in the nursery were lost. Otherwise, how could I explain to the comrades who handed the children over to us? It seems that my political and ideological work is still there
I must continue to strengthen. From this lesson, I know that I have not done a good job. This is a profound lesson. Wei Kailan, you must remember that struggle is everywhere and you must always keep it in your heart! Finally, long live the motherland!"
After reading it, Du Dayong felt mixed emotions. Maybe people of that era really couldn't describe it with today's words.
"Aunt Wei, your writing is very good. I can see the momentum of your thousands of troops back then. But can we talk about specific people and things? Let's put the diary aside first, and you can read it while
, while reminiscing, can you tell us a story using today’s vernacular?”
Aunt Wei opened the diary and nodded.
"Li Fang came to the nursery relatively early, in the 1960s. I was 34 and she was 19. She was just getting ready to get married at that time. Her fiancé was an inspector at the county chemical plant, but they got married in the second half of the year. However,
This woman was also suffering from hardship. Just seven months into her pregnancy, her husband died of poisoning while inspecting a reactor in a chemical plant. She gave birth to a son at full term."
"Because I work in a nursery, it is easier to take care of children. However, in 1963, I picked up a child, and that child was kept at that time. It is not easy for a nursery to raise multiple children.
It’s not a big problem, not to mention that I was also the deputy person in charge at that time, so I wouldn’t have any objection if the director agreed.”
"But in 1964, this child said that he had found his family and was being taken away. The old director was about to retire at that time, and he didn't want to offend anyone, so he asked Li Fang to return the child to others.
.But from that time on, Li Fang liked to dress up in my impression. Men might not be able to tell, but I, a woman, couldn’t tell. But I have never seen her interact with any man.
, so I can only think about it. I was the director in 1965! It was Wu Xuehua who came to work at that time. This girl was only 16 at the time and came in to take her mother’s job. At that time, our unit required
Just go through the big group."
"This girl is really beautiful, with a good figure and fair skin. I wanted to take her as my apprentice at that time, but she doesn't like singing and likes dancing! Usually this girl has a pretty cheerful personality, so she and Li Fang
, and after all Li Fang’s children disappeared, I didn’t even think about it for a long time.”
"However, Jin Lili later told me after the reform and opening up that she had seen Wu Xuehua in the 1970s, and she said that Wu Xuehua at that time did not look as spiritual as before."
Du Dayong then interjected and asked.
"Aunt Wei, where is this Jin Lili now?"
Aunt Wei shook her head and said.
"I don't know. Some people say she went to the capital, and some people say she went to Tianjin. I don't know the details, but my close friend is Man Chunling. She seems to be in the dormitory of the Animal Husbandry Bureau now. I haven't seen her in several years.
I don’t know whether he is dead or alive, you can go and find out.”
