Returning home

This is a work written by Pujie, a boss with rich knowledge and rich life experience.

Wang Weidong jumped out of the car with his packed luggage. He stood at the station and looked at the rows of family houses and the red residential buildings in the distance. This is the place where he grew up - Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

"You bastard! Wei Dong!"

Someone was shouting Wang Weidong's name loudly.

When Wang Weidong turned his head to look, a permanent 28-year-old bicycle stopped beside him with a clang, and a young man wearing greasy overalls was grinning at him with an honest smile.

"Brother Liang, are you off work?" Wang Weidong greeted with a smile.

The young man who spoke to Wang Weidong was named Kong Deliang. He was five or six years older than Wang Weidong and was a worker at Xiangyang Chemical Plant.

Kong Deliang looked at Wang Weidong's luggage on the ground and asked, "I've got my luggage back. Are you completely back from the educated youth center?"

"Yeah, it's been almost two years, and I'm the only one left in the entire educated youth camp. The brigade secretary talks to me heart-to-heart every night, and what he means is to tell me to get out of here! If it weren't for my parents who want me to be in Guangzhou

There is a lot to be done in the world, and I have come back a long time ago. Isn’t it unhealthy to earn work points in the ditches every day without registering as an urban household registration?" Wang Weidong replied.

Kong Deliang nodded understandingly and said: "It's just the right time for you to come back. Now the country has a new policy. If the parents are old enough to retire, their children can take over!"

At this point, Kong Deliang suddenly felt that he had said too much, because Wang Weidong also has an eldest brother who is still a temporary worker in the factory without a formal job. Now the news that he can take over in the factory has spread, and in many families there are many brothers and sisters turning against each other.

.

Don't let Wang Weidong go home and start a fight with his elder brother because of his talkativeness.

But Kong Deliang was surprised to find that Wang Weidong looked calm, as if he didn't care at all about this good policy that was related to his fate.

Wang Weidong was not happy about being reborn into this world, and he had no intention of taking over.

"It's inconvenient to walk with so many things, so I'll take you home on a bicycle!" Kong Deliang said.

"Then I'll trouble you." Wang Weidong said politely.

Kong Deliang got on the bicycle, and Wang Weidong sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding the luggage with both hands and hooking the bottom of the luggage with his toes.

Kong Deliang pedaled his bicycle vigorously toward the family building where Wang Weidong's parents lived.

Dozens of red-brick and red-tiled family buildings were built in the early 1950s when the Soviet Union aided the construction of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant. They were originally allocated to Wang Weidong's grandfather. After Wang Weidong's grandfather died the year before last, Wang Weidong's parents and eldest brother moved to them.

They moved here from the houses assigned to them, and the houses assigned to them were taken back by the unit and distributed to other employees.

The family building is completely built in the Soviet style. It is tall and spacious, and is better than the family building built in the 1970s and 1980s.

Wang Weidong, who was sitting on the back seat of his bicycle, looked at Kong Deliang's back and remembered something important.

According to the memories of his previous life in his head, Kong Deliang died a year later, in 1980.

Kong Deliang secretly fell in love with Fang Yanmei, a girl in the workshop. When the two of them showed their plans to their parents and wanted to get married, they were firmly opposed by their parents. Wang Weidong could not remember the specific reason.

In the 1970s, parents had the right to make decisions about their children's marriages. It could even be said that they had the final say. If I said yes, it would be OK, but if I didn't, I had to be willing. If I said no, it wouldn't be possible, and I'd beat the mandarin duck immediately!

Although both parents were firmly against it, the two young people fell in love so much that they were inseparable. In the end, they accidentally drank pesticide together and were found to be rushed to the hospital for rescue. Kong Deliang survived, but Fang Yanmei died.

The whole family stared at Kong Deliang 24 hours a day, constantly trying to persuade him, but Kong Deliang just opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling without saying a word. On the twelfth day, the family's guard was a little lax, and Kong Deliang ran out of the house and disappeared.

Two days later, Kong Deliang's body was found in the river five miles away. His mother was lying on the ground rolling and crying.

The big speaker on the telephone pole on the roadside suddenly chirped twice and started playing music.

"The spring water is tinkling, the spring water is tinkling, the spring water is tinkling

Jumped off the hill, flowed across the grass and came to my side——"

The songs released in recent years are all sonorous and powerful revolutionary songs, so this soothing and melodious spring water jingle has become very popular as soon as it was released. Now this song is played first every day when the Xiangyang Chemical Factory broadcasts.

"Comrades, employees and family members, we are now broadcasting the news of Xiangyang Chemical Plant. In response to the call of the party and the country, every workshop is fighting for the Red May, and good production reports are spreading frequently!——"

On the radio, the female announcer tried her best to announce the factory news with a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Brother Deliang, do you have a partner now?" Wang Weidong asked.

Hearing Wang Weidong's question, the honest Kong Deliang panicked and did not hold the handlebars of his bicycle steady. The bicycle seemed to be drunk.

"Don't talk nonsense! How could I do that kind of thing!" Kong Deliang said with a red face.

In this era, falling in love is like being a thief and cannot be admitted! Even if you sit on the tiger bench and pour pepper water, you cannot admit it!

After stabilizing his bicycle and his mind, Kong Deliang smiled and said to Wang Weidong in order to divert the target: "You are only 17 or 18 years old, so why are you full of petty bourgeois ideas?"

"Seventeen or eighteen is no longer young. My grandfather already got married when he was seventeen! This time when I come back, I should also think about my life-long affairs. There are so many girls in the factory and I have to choose carefully!" Wang Weidong said.

"Let's solve the work problem first. Without a job, no girl can fall in love with you!" Kong Deliang said.

"Which girl? I think Sister Yanmei is good! She has a good heart, a good temper, and she also takes care of her family!" Wang Weidong said.

The bicycle suddenly tilted and was about to fall. The two people on the bicycle jumped off in a hurry.

Kong Deliang realized that he had lost his composure after holding on to the bicycle. He immediately pretended to be serious and said to Wang Weidong: "Fang Yanmei is three years older than you! What did you, a little brat, think? Besides, I heard that Fang Yanmei has a partner.

Don't mess with it!"

People in this era are still very easy to deceive, and Wang Weidong's few words made Kong Deliang feel terrible.

"There are several people named Yanmei in our factory, why do you only think of Fang Yanmei? Besides, what happens if you have a partner? The worst is, I will pry Sister Yanmei over!" Wang Weidong said.

In the 1970s, how shameless did people say they wanted to pry into someone else's partner?

Kong Deliang stared blankly at Wang Weidong. After a long while, he turned around and pointed at Wang Weidong bitterly and said: "You bastard, you don't even have a formal appearance, so you can just act like this!"

After saying that, Kong Deliang got on his bicycle and left.
Chapter completed!
