10. brothers
In the morning, I quickly finished preparing for class and wrote three letters in one breath. The first was to Wang Youbin of Jingzhou Health School, the second was to He Rongmei, a student of Jianli Normal School, and the third was to Liu Dingyu, the class monitor of the normal school.
I remember that on the last night, Wan Huaping brought the goat recorder and played Teresa Teng's song. We listened to it until five in the morning. Liu Dingyu and He Rongmei sent me to the waiting room. The class monitor said,
"You have to write to me after you've finished assigning. I'll definitely be assigned to Xingou Town. It's Li Jian, our political teacher when we were in first grade. He's now the leader of the education team there.”
Before boarding the ship, He Rongmei told me his address. It was Hejia Bridge, a little west of Wang Bridge. It had been more than a month since he had been assigned to Zeng Butou Middle School, but he had not written to them. It was really outrageous. After writing the letter, he went to the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative at noon to buy an envelope and stamps. He pasted them properly. There was no mailbox here. Fortunately, it was Saturday today. After school, he went home and passed by the post office. He could mail it out.
After class in the afternoon, I was about to leave school when Li Zhuhong came over and said,
"I want to leave the soldiers of the rich countries behind."
Since Li Zhuhong left the soldiers of the rich countries behind, then I'll leave Zheng Debin behind to do some thinking work. Zheng Debin was very reluctant, but he was still quite honest this time and didn't openly resist. I pulled him to the corridor outside and said,
"The last time I visited your house and saw your family like that, it was really…"
I couldn't find any suitable words to describe it. Fortunately, he understood what I meant. Without a word, he lowered his head and kicked the bricks on the side of the corridor, his eyes looking at the ground.
"It's not easy for your father to raise you and your sister all by himself. You see, he has to be both a father and a mother. You're the boss, you should think more about Father and not make him sad…"
As I was talking, Wu Aiting came over from the dormitory.
"Zheng Debin is still here. I thought he left. Here, this is a set of clothes I bought for your sister. A girl should dress beautifully.”
She touched Zheng Debin's head and said,
"Zheng Debin, you can't be so unreasonable anymore! If you do that again, I won't like you anymore!”
I saw tears in Zheng Debin's eyes and knew that he had been moved by Wu Aiting. At this time, Li Zhuhong released the soldiers of the rich country, so I said,
"Zheng Debin, you can leave now."
Wu Aiting looked at Zheng Debin, who had run more than ten meters away, and shouted,
" Zheng Debin, if your sister's clothes are too small, you can bring them over for me to change into."
Zheng Debin turned around and waved the clothes in his hand at us before turning around and running away. I asked Li Zhuhong,
"Why did you keep the soldiers of the rich country?"
"He made a lot of mistakes in his English homework.”
Wu Aiting patted Li Zhuhong's shoulder and said,"
"Li Zhuhong, not bad. You've just taken office and you're already so responsible.”
I locked the classroom door and ran a few steps to catch up with them. I'm thinking that we can walk back to the lake embankment together today. On one side is Li Zhuhong, and on the other side is Wu Aiting. How nice! However, when we were ready, the door was locked, and Wu Aiting was ready, she said,
"You guys go, I'll go to the gate.”
My heart sank. I walked next to Li Zhuhong. I didn't seem to hear anything Li Zhuhong said to me. I kept thinking about Wu Aiting. She went to the gate, just like Zhang Moxiong went to the gate. She must have gone to meet her boyfriend. When we arrived at the food processing plant, Li Zhuhong still invited me. I said,
"I have something to do at the grain machinery factory.”
He walked to the post office and stuffed the three letters into the mailbox. He walked forward as if he had been walking for a long time. His mind was filled with Wu Aiting's shadow. Her eyes, when she spoke, she looked at him without blinking. She was a little childish and provocative, and her chubby face always had a smile... Finally, he could stop thinking about it.
After finding the workshop, I asked a young man who was turning sand,"
"Is Xu Guojing here?"
The young man walked in and touched a person under the lamp. He said something. That person walked over and saw me. He quickly ran over and held my hand.
"Su Ning, it's you. Come, let me introduce you to my master. Master, this is my classmate and neighbor, Zhang Su Ning.”
I held that person's hand. It didn't look like a worker's hand, but it was a little soft. That person let go of my hand and said,
"Wait for him for a while. We're out of the furnace today and we're very nervous. If we're not careful, there will be a lot of waste.”
I stood at the side and watched them work. The carriage on top shuttled back and forth, bringing a furnace of molten iron to the finished mold, and then pouring the molten iron in one by one. He did this over and over again until it was almost eleven o'clock. Dong Sheng, I'm still used to calling him that. After changing his clothes, he came out and said,
"Come, follow me to the cafeteria for supper!”
The food in their canteen is much better than our school's. There's so much meat in one dish that the entire bowl is filled. I didn't eat dinner, so I wolfed it down. I said,
"Remember that year when we went to the cinema to watch When the Apples Are Ripe? Wide-screen. Normal movies only cost a dime, but that movie cost 25 cents. Your brother asked your father for money to buy the tickets. We were halfway through when the battery ran out. After the refund, your brother brought us here for dinner.'Are you full? I'll bring you another serving. Where will your father live after retirement?”
Dong Sheng finished the last mouthful of rice and said,
"Let's go to the bathhouse to take a shower. After we take a shower, I'll bring you to my father's place to take a look.”
Although I had taken a bath in the school bathhouse, I was still a little shy when I walked around naked with the workers. I quickly finished my bath and came out. Dong Sheng stayed in the bathhouse for a long time. We went upstairs to his bedroom and opened the door. Inside, there was a young man stewing hot pot with an electric stove. Dong Sheng said to me,
"This is my brother, Gao Weihong. Gao Weihong, this is Zhang Su Ning, the neighbor of the classmate I've been telling you about for decades.”
I shook his hand symbolically. That person looked very naughty. He had long hair and every word he said was dirty. Compared to our school, he was really uneducated. Gao Weihong, Wei Hong. These were the names given during the special period, and they were very trendy. Before leaving, Dong Sheng said to Gao Weihong,"
"My classmate is sleeping with me today. You can go to Feng Aiwu's place.”
As we descended the stairs, I asked,
"What is his name?"
"The height is high, the guard is high, and the red is red.”
"No, it's the person you asked Gao Weihong to go with just now.”
" Feng, two water, a horse on the right, the love of passion, the nothing of the Proletarian.”
Another supporter of a special period. I thought, why didn't my father give me such a name? Dong Sheng used to call me " Xu Hongjie ", but I only have two names, Jianguo and Zhang Su Ning...
I followed Xu Guojing and Bu Dongsheng around the factory and came to a river. There was a small house beside the wall. The light from the window proved that the person inside was not asleep. Dong Sheng knocked on the door. The door was not locked. When he pushed it open, there was an old man hammering something inside. It was the sound of iron. Dong Sheng said,
"Father, Su Ning is here."
The old man stood up with the hammer and walked up to me. He looked at me carefully and said,
"It's Jianguo. Why are you here? Come, sit."
I saw pieces of iron on the ground and asked,
"What are you hammering?"
Seeing his father hesitate, Dong Sheng said,"
"He's retired and has nothing to do. He says he's bored all day, so I found him something to do. Gong 'an Shopping Mall wanted to hang a very big sign on the wall with a hammer. They had searched all over the lake, but they had never hammered such a big sign. My father hammered the signboard in the factory before, so I took over the work for him. He had been hammering for almost half a month, and it was still the same. Father, let me help you hammer it!"
I watched Dong Sheng hammer the words for his father. He didn't look like he had done anything bad. I know Dong Sheng. He has always been timid since he was young. How could he do something bad? However, looking at Gao Weihong, she was indeed not a good person. When she spoke, she gritted her teeth like a hooligan. Thinking of Gao Weihong, she started to worry for Dong Sheng. No matter what, he had to ask Dong Sheng about the task given by his aunt and give him a reminder.
It was late at night. When I said goodbye, I said to Uncle,
"Uncle, you have to take care of your health. It's so late at night, don't hammer so late.”
Uncle took us to the main road in the factory before turning around. Along the way, he was the one who told me about his fellow disciples. I didn't have the chance to interrupt at all. It wasn't until we returned to the dormitory that the smell of meat made us stop. He hid the electric stove in the cardboard box under the bed and muttered,
"Why didn't you hide it after you finished? If the factory finds out, you'll be fined again.”
I seized the opportunity to say,
"What does this Gao Weihong do? Why did you come to your dormitory to get food?"
Dong Sheng said as he tidied up the chairs and clothes on the bed,"
"Our factory has business dealings with the supply and marketing cooperative. That day, the factory asked me to send an oil press to the supply and marketing cooperative. I met Feng Aiwu who received us. Feng Aiwu was very hospitable and pulled me to his house to play. Then I met Gao Weihong. After Gao Weihong met me, she came to my place every day to play. She casually took out other people's things and used them.”
I took the opportunity to say,
"We have to be careful when making friends. What kind of friend is a true friend? I feel that loving and caring for each other, reminding each other, and helping each other are true friends, not drinking and eating together. It wasn't easy for us to come out of the countryside. I studied and you came out as a substitute. We have to work hard and think of ways to achieve results so that our colleagues will admire us.”
I really want to tell him what Principal Zhan told me, but I can't remember everything. When I went to bed, I still wanted to say something to him, but I couldn't say anything. When I listened again, he was already snoring. The factory is really tough. After a tiring day, I fell asleep the moment I fell asleep, but I still had many things on my mind.
