Plans often fail to keep up with changes.
Silly Zhu originally planned to leave in 1955 and come back in 1957.
He broke his promise.
This journey lasted several years.
There was no phone, no letter, as if he was isolated from the world, and as if there was no such person as Silhu in the world. He stayed alone and helpless in that difficult place for five years.
Now.
Silly Pillar is finally back.
Standing at the door of the familiar courtyard, looking at the familiar courtyard through the porch, for some reason, Shazhu suddenly lost the strength to step in.
Maybe it’s just timidity in being close to home.
He just stood there quietly until Yan Fugui went out to take out the trash and accidentally saw Si Zhu. He became a little arrogant in shock and exclaimed, "You are Si Zhu." The soul immersed in memories woke up.
Silly Zhu smiled at Yan Fugui.
He expressed his understanding of Yan Fugui's surprise.
A person disappeared without a trace for five years, no letter, no phone. I went to the street to inquire, and the street didn't know where Sha Zhu worked. They knew that Sha Zhu had been named by the steel rolling mill to support the construction of the mountainous area. I went to the steel rolling mill to find out that the leader who was originally responsible for the leadership of the steel rolling mill was transferred to another place to take charge of the work two years ago. During the handover of the process, due to certain considerations, he concealed the truth about the Silly Pillar Incident, which caused an uproar for tens of thousands of people. No one in the steel rolling mill knew where Si Zhu was or what he was doing.
gradually.
Two different versions of the rumor circulated.
The first version said that Shazhu unexpectedly encountered an accident while supporting the construction of the mountainous area, and Shazhu and his colleagues were killed in the accident.
The second version is also the version in which Silly Zhu died. Different from the first version, Silly Zhu in this version did not die in an accident or to save his companions, but because he could not bear the hardships of the local area. Conditions: I became a deserter and was shot down by someone.
in many people's minds.
Silly Zhu was so dead that he even had no bones.
No wonder Yan Fugui had a look of horror on his face when he saw Silly Zhu for the first time, as if he had seen a living ghost in broad daylight, and he was so frightened that he threw away the broom and dustpan in his hands.
"Are you a fool?"
Yan Fugui repeated the question just now, with a conflicted expression on his face.
The conflict stems from Silly Pillar.
Yan Jiecheng has been pestering Yu Li all these years, saying that since Sha Zhu is dead and the marriage between Yu Li and Sha Zhu has lost its binding power, Yu Li can't bear to be a widow for the rest of his life for Sha Zhu. He, Yan Jiecheng, didn't mind that Yu Li was a widow whose husband died before she got married, and he wasn't afraid of Yu Li Kefu's reputation. As long as Yu Li agrees, Yan Jie will marry Yu Li as his wife. Yu Li never agreed, saying that she did not believe that Sha Zhu was dead and believed that Sha Zhu would come back one day. In the past five years, Yu Li had taken care of her sister-in-law as He Yuyu's sister-in-law.
"Third uncle, it's not me."
"Si Zhu, you are the same. You've been away for five years without even writing a letter to your family. The neighbors all thought that something happened to you, Si Zhu."
A bitter smile appeared on Silly Zhu's face.
write a letter.
Do you really think he doesn't want to write?
It's not that you can't write letters, it's just that after you hand in the finished letter, it will be destroyed uniformly. It won't go to the place where it should go, and it will be written in vain.
Nothing more than two words.
Confidentiality.
You can't tell Yan Fugui about this matter, as long as Shazhu knows it himself.
"Third uncle, what you are teaching me is that I was negligent."
Silly Zhu, who was laughing loudly, set his sights on Yan Fugui. From the first moment he saw Yan Fugui, he felt that Yan Fugui gave him a strange feeling.
At first I mistakenly thought it was because we hadn’t seen each other for many years.
After taking a closer look, I realized where this strange feeling was coming from.
Yan Fugui gave Shazhu a feeling of thinness. His body was far less strong than five years ago. It was so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow it away.
His face was full of nutritionally deficient food, his energy was not very good, and he was tired all over his body.
"Third uncle, what are you doing?"
"Hey!" Yan Fugui sighed, suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered to Silly Zhu: "It's hard to say, and I'm not afraid that Silly Zhu will make fun of the third uncle. The third uncle hasn't had a full meal in more than a year. , I was only five minutes full after every meal. I ate at noon and felt hungry after four in the afternoon. I ate at night and woke up from hunger at about eleven o’clock, so I relied on drinking water to survive.”
Silly Zhu suddenly thought of He Yuyu.
The third uncle, Yan Fugui, was starved to this point, not to mention the little girl He Yuyu.
When he left five years ago, Silly Zhu raised the little girl like a fat pig. He didn't know whether the little girl had gained weight or lost weight. I hope she was fine.
"Third uncle, it's good to be alive."
Silly Zhu's tone was not a comforting one.
On the way back, I was used to seeing too many life and death, and sometimes people gradually became numb when looking at those miserable facts that should appear in literary works.
"Silly Zhu, what you said is so right. It's a good idea to be alive. The third uncle is busy with school matters during the day, and even goes fishing outside the city on Sundays, just to catch a bite to eat and drink. In our courtyard, every household If we are short of food and drink, that's all." The voice was lowered again, "That's right, the deaf old lady in the backyard, Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai, and Qin Huairu's family are all in need of food and drink."
The deaf old lady claims to be the ancestor of the compound, and she is also a childless old lady, so she can live alone and the whole family is not hungry.
As for Yi Zhonghai and his wife, when Si Zhu left five years ago, Yi Zhonghai was a sixth-level worker. He must be a seventh-level worker now. There is no problem in supporting them with the salary of a seventh-level worker.
Something that really shocked Silly Zhu.
It’s Qin Huairu.
Yan Fugui used the title of Qin Huairu's family.
Is it possible that Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu divorced?
Even if they get divorced, how can Qin Huairu ensure that their family will not go hungry?
Yan Fugui, the third uncle of the courtyard, has to borrow fishing to support his family. What can a girl from the countryside do to keep the whole family from going hungry?
"Third uncle, do you mean Qin Huairu?"
"Qin Huairu is pregnant with another child. Yi Zhonghai has made great contributions in supporting mountainous areas. Tens of thousands of people in the commune have signed a letter of commendation to praise Yi Zhonghai. The seventh-level worker who came back last spring just passed the eighth-level worker test last month... .”
What Yan Fugui said later, Shazhu didn't remember a word clearly. There were only two things going over and over in his mind.
the first thing.
Qin Huairu is pregnant.
If Shazhu’s memory is correct, Qin Huairu’s third child’s name is Sophora japonica!
Before Sophora japonica was born, Jia died.
Qin Huairu became a widow.
In his previous life, Shazhu did not get married before Qin Huairu became a widow.
In this life, in order to avoid being plotted again, Silly Zhu wanted to get married before Jia Dongxu died. He took the initiative, entrusted a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him, and even got engaged to Yu Li.
I thought I had escaped from the prison of fate.
But he encountered something about going to support. The promised two years of support suddenly turned into five years. When he returned to Siheyuan, Jia Dongxu was about to die.
I didn't hear Yan Fugui say that Qin Huairu had been pregnant with her third child for several months.
The countdown to Jia Dongxu’s death.
Counting has started.
Jia Zhang will have no son.
The second thing.
Yi Zhonghai became an eighth-level worker and made great achievements immediately. Tens of thousands of people praised Yi Zhonghai.
Everything inexplicably returned to normal, as if there was an invisible big hand correcting the fate of everyone in the courtyard at all times. Once there was a deviation, it would take action to correct it.
The truth was unacceptable to Shazhu.
It's also unacceptable.
Does he know what Yi Zhonghai is.
Full of calculations.
This kind of scheming thing, but tens of thousands of people signed a letter of praise to him and sent the letter of praise to the steel rolling mill.
I always feel like there's something fishy here.
"Third uncle, do you think it's possible?"
"Is it possible that there is no difference? Our courtyard also held courtyard meetings to learn from Yi Zhonghai's heroic deeds of saving lives several times." Yan Fugui changed his tone and brought the topic to Yu Li, "Silly Zhu, you When you come back this time, are you going to marry Yu Li? Third uncle, let me remind you, this child Yu Li is really good, and you really got her by burning incense in your previous life."
Mentioning Yu Li, Lao Kou felt a little regretful. He regretted that in order to save two yuan for the matchmaker, he didn't go to Yu Li's house to propose marriage before Silly Zhu, which made Silly Zhu marry such a good wife as Yu Li.
Years of scarcity.
He Yuyu didn't miss a mouthful of food and drink. Sometimes Yu Li would save her own rations for He Yuyu to eat, which was true to the old saying.
A sister-in-law is like a mother!
What Yu Li did was seen by all the neighbors. She was an honest person. Although she did not marry Silly Zhu, the two were engaged, but she faithfully carried out the fine tradition of marrying a chicken, marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, and following a dog. Qin Huairu from the Jia family opposite was not even qualified to carry Yu Li's shoes.
Hear Yan Fugui praise Yu Li so much.
Silly Zhu's heart became heavy.
I was excited by Yu Li's action of taking care of He Yuyu, and I made up my mind to take good care of Yu Li.
Such a nice woman.
It must be cherished.
After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shazhu carefully took out a small bag of millet from his small satchel. It looked like it was about half a catty, and stuffed it into Yan Fugui's hand.
"Silly Zhu, the third uncle can't take it. In these days, food is life."
"Third uncle, although you didn't say it, I know that you have taken care of Yuyu these years. Don't refuse. It will be bad if someone sees you soon."
"Silly Zhu, third uncle."
Yan Fugui nodded heavily towards Silly Zhu. He held half a kilogram of millet in his arms and entered Yan's house like a thief.
Looking at Yan Fugui's cautious look.
Silly Zhu still couldn't laugh.
After all, he is a person who has experienced it once, and he also saw some tragedies on the way back.
After helping Yan Fugui place the broom and dustpan at the door of Yan's house, he walked towards the middle courtyard. As soon as he entered the middle yard, he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang staring with a pair of bull's eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.
Silly Zhu grinned deliberately.
"Silly Zhu? Aren't you dead?"
Jia Zhang's shout caused those people in the courtyard to explode in an instant.
who?
Silly column!
Why is he back?
Didn’t you say that Silly Pillar was dead?
Co-authorship is not dead.
Otherwise, why would Mrs. Jia Zhang shout so loudly that Silly Zhu is back?
"Brother, are you back?"
The sound of surprise.
It flew into Shazhu's ears.
Follow the sound.
Surprisingly, it was He Yuyu whom Silly Zhu had been obsessed with.
Haven’t seen each other for five years.
A big girl.
Chuluo is becoming more and more juicy.
Standing behind He Yueyue was Yu Li, the Yu Li who still worked hard to take care of her sister-in-law He Yueyue even though countless people had rumored that Si Zhu was dead.
After not seeing each other for five years, life seemed to have made her a little older, and it also made Sha Zhu's heart hurt inexplicably.
"elder brother."
He Yuyu opened his arms affectionately and rushed toward Silly Zhu like a little swallow.
pity.
At this time, Silly Zhu only had Yu Li in his eyes. The moment He Yueyue fell into his arms, Silly Zhu dodged He Yueyue and quickly came to Yu Li, looking at the person in front of him. The person murmured the cliched phrase "Thank you for your hard work".
Yu Li smiled.
But smiling and smiling.
Then tears flowed out.
The climax is here, guess how Jia Dongxu will die.
