Li Laifu carried a small flour bag on his arm and put his arm around Jiang Yuan's shoulder. Several people were walking along the roadside with various carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts. As for the excrement of the cows and horses, the owner of the cart put it in with both hands. In the car, especially with the cow dung in one hand, the people didn't show any disgust at all, but were cheerful.
The prettiest guys on this road are the cyclists. The bells in their hands are ringing constantly and their backs are straight, fearing that others won’t see them.
Riding a bicycle in this day and age? It's more awesome than driving a 7 Series BMW in later generations.
After leaving Dongzhimen, we walked to the intersection. To the north was the steel rolling mill, and to the right was the moat. Zhao Fang and the others dug wild vegetables around the moat.
Li Laifu had to go straight east, and there was still five miles to go. "Laifu, be careful on the way, don't break the bag," Zhao Fang explained.
"I'll be careful, Auntie, then I'll leave first. Grandma Liu, I'll leave first," Li Laifu said.
"Goodbye, eldest brother, goodbye, eldest brother," the two brothers Jiang Tao and Jiang Yuan said, and Lin Xiaohong also waved her little hands.
"Be careful on the road," said Mrs. Liu.
Li Laifu walked quickly along the sandy dirt road. There were militiamen standing on the fields on both sides of the road, and each of them had a gun on his shoulder. In this era, when children enter the fields, there are two big ears, and when adults enter the fields, these gangs The militiamen really dared to shoot!
Although the sky is dry and the earth is dry, nothing may grow in the ground, but as long as you plant it, there will be people watching. Do you dare? No one even watched you pick out the seeds and eat them.
The capital side is fine, at least there are still several big rivers under the mountains. The Miyun Reservoir was dug in the past two years. The fields in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei are thousands of miles away. In three years, at least hundreds of thousands of people have been raised. .
Li Laifu was thinking wildly when he heard the ringing of a bell behind him. He naturally looked back and stood there without leaving.
"Is this you Laifu?" shouted a middle-aged man driving an oxcart.
Li Laifu immediately recalled the memory of the original owner and said with a smile: "Tie Zhu, have you ordered the size? Laifu? Is that what you called me? You want to call me Uncle Laifu."
Li Tiezhu stopped the bullock cart and looked at Li Laifu. In his impression, this little uncle never cared about this matter. He had watched Li Laifu grow up and had been called him like this since he was a child. He couldn't be in his 30s with ten people. How old is this kid called uncle? His eldest son is about the same age as Li Laifu. Why has he changed after not seeing him for two years? .
Li Laifu was secretly happy. He was now senior in Lijia Village. Even old men in their fifties and sixties called him uncle. In the past, Li Laifu didn't care about this, but now he is different. He can have some fun in this era. not easy.
Suddenly a stench hit him, and Li Laifu saw a large dung bucket sitting on a gasoline tank pulled by a bullock cart.
Li Laifu said to Li Tiezhu: "Don't act like a fool. Either you leave first or I leave first. Do you want to stink to death?"
"You want to beat me up," Li Tiezhu wanted to take a gamble.
Li Laifu pinched his nose with his hand and said arrogantly: "You try to beat me? Do you dare to beat me? When I return to Lijia Village, I will take my grandfather to find your father! My village chief, Sixth Brother, asked my grandfather to Teach him a lesson and ask him how he educates his son?"
Li Tiezhu immediately relented. This kid has been in the city for two years and is no longer easy to fool. If the old man is invited out, both he and his father will be beaten.
"Uncle, can you come to Uncle Fu?"
Li Laifu continued to pinch his nose and said, "You are a wise boy, how did you come back from the city?"
Li Tiezhu said: "The commune gave our village a shit ticket." I happened to go to the city to bring him back to the village today. He was no longer in a hurry. He took off the belt pot from his waist, filled it with some tobacco leaves, and lit it with a match. , took a sip.
Li Laifu looked at the smelly excrement bucket and asked, "Does excrement also require tickets now?"
Li Tiezhu was sitting on the dung truck, smoking a pipe and pot, and said: "Last year, Zhangjiabao and Lingshui Village fought over grabbing dung in the city. Later, the city was under unified management. The dung stamps were sent to the commune, and the commune issued them to In the village.”
Li Laifu continued to pinch his nose and said: "Go away quickly, slap your fart, it stinks to death here," in this summer? The mushy feces are simply stinky.
"Why does it stink? This was not pulled by humans. The cows are also tired. I happen to be taking a rest here," Li Tiezhu said, leaning on the dung bucket.
Li Laifu turned around and said, "Then keep smelling!"
"Uncle Laifu, don't leave? How about we chat about my uncle working in the factory?" Li Tiezhu shouted loudly.
Li Laifu didn't answer him at all and ran away.
After walking for three miles, we started to turn up the mountain. Not to mention that the road became narrower, and the big trees on the roadside were towering, and the wind made a roaring sound. When I was alone, I would have been surprised. It was daytime, and if No one can go here at night, this place is a perfect place for robbers and thieves.
After half an hour, I finally walked out of the forest path. What I saw was an open land with dozens of sparse houses across the fields. This place would be a good place to build villas in later generations. There was only one road surrounded by mountains on three sides.
With dogtail grass in his mouth and a small flour bag hanging on his shoulder, he stepped on the field ridge and walked towards the village.
The houses here are built against the mountains, past the fields, just like me climbing mountains. The roads between the villages are also crooked and have stone steps. In order to show that he is the highest-ranking person in the village, his grandfather built his My home is at the top of the village.
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, old men, old ladies and a bunch of naked children were enjoying the cool weather.
"Boy, who are you looking for?" an old lady asked.
Li Laifu smiled and said, "I'm looking for Li Gou Sheng."
"What? Are you looking for the old man?" the old lady asked in surprise.
"You damn old woman has bad eyesight, and you just like to pick up fights. This is the old man's grandson, our little brother," said an old man in his 50s. Who is he? Li Laifu really can't remember.
The old man asked with a smile on his face: "Brother, did you come back alone?"
Then he looked behind him and asked, "Why haven't your father and my uncle come back?"
Li Laifu found it so interesting that an old man in his fifties or sixties called you brother. It was so funny. He nodded and replied: "My dad has to go to work and has no time. He asked me to come back and see grandpa."
The old man pulled up a bare-butted child who was squatting on the ground and said, "Pidan, this is your little grandpa calling someone."
Li Laifu suddenly felt uncomfortable. A five- or six-year-old child calls you grandpa? But he is full of shit! This is a bit embarrassing.
This little kid, with his butt naked and his nose dripping with snot, looked at Li Laifu and shouted, "Little grandpa!"
"Okay, okay, little grandpa will bring you candy next time," Li Laifu promised.
"Grandpa, are you serious?" The child ran directly to Li Laifu without being dragged by his grandfather.
"Little grandpa, little grandpa, little grandpa," the three children next to them also stood up when they heard that there was candy.
