Chapter 187 Fragmented!

No matter what time of year, Chinese people always envy the people living in Sijiu City.

Even in later generations, people feel that only the people in Hutong have the authentic Beijing flavor.

This is even more true now. Living in the heart of the motherland, all kinds of resources are skewed. When you go out for a walk after dinner in the evening, you usually go to the square. Maybe you can meet the elderly on the city gate building and ask, "Have you eaten?" Inside"……

But only by truly entering the hutongs, rather than those large courtyards, or those who were lucky enough to be assigned to the mansions of the royal family or wealthy families in the past, can we understand what the real life of hutong families is.

A small room of about ten square meters serves as a bedroom, kitchen, and living room...

And the bedroom is not a bedroom for one person, but a bedroom for the whole family, ranging from five or six people to as many as a dozen people...

Li Yuan remembers watching the news in his previous life, and the internet was ridiculing the cage houses in Hong Kong, but he didn’t know if the old residents in the alleys of Sijiucheng felt the same way.

The conditions of Zhao Chunju's family are relatively better. There were only a family of five living in a ten-square-meter room.

After his father passed away, he was left with his mother, her, and two younger brothers.

Now, there are only Zhao Chunju's mother and two younger brothers.

When they learned that Li Yuan had just caught the murderer and that the case had been solved, Zhao Chunju's mother and two younger brothers insisted on kowtow to Li Yuan.

It's so desolate that it makes people cry.

Fortunately, Zhao Chunju's second brother is already fifteen years old, and her third brother is also twelve.

The second brother can join the factory to take over, there are also subsidies from the medical school, and there are donations from classmates...

Overall, life can go on.

And perhaps because the news that the case was solved made Zhao Chunju's mother feel relieved, there was no recurrence of the heart disease that Qiu Rui was worried about.

After the two of them said goodbye and left Dongyangwei Hutong, Qiu Rui did not rush to get back to school. Instead, she said in a negotiating tone: "I want to arrange for Zhao Chunju's second brother to serve in the army. Do you think it's okay?"

"..."

Li Yuan looked at the clouds on the horizon and was speechless for a moment.

Awesome...

Why is being a soldier so popular in this era?

In fact, they are almost the same as civil servants in later generations, or even better.

In later generations, civil servants were able to maintain their incomes despite droughts and floods, but now as soldiers, they can at least have enough to eat.

The more difficult the time, the less likely the army will be hungry...

The three words "being able to eat enough" are very attractive now and even in the next twenty or thirty years, especially for rural people.

If someone can casually arrange for someone to win a golden job, who dares to say that he is not awesome?

Nie Yudu may not have this energy. After all, she is not directly connected, and the available resources cannot allow her to squander it like this...

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't respond, Qiu Rui said dissatisfiedly: "I'm asking you something."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it is a good thing to be able to join the army. If you work hard in the army for a few years, you can find a good job when you change jobs. This is a good place that countless people dream of, not bad. Zhao Chunju has you She is lucky to have this good friend."

Qiu Rui reacted, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Your family also has a large number of people. Do you want... If there are too many, we can't arrange them. Two... three should be fine."

In fact, five will do. Li Yuan's family is from a prosperous family, and she is an out-and-out poor peasant. Her background is not a problem, and other problems are not big problems for her.

As long as Li Yuan opens his mouth, she will agree.

This time, Li Yuan brought her name to arrest the criminal, which could at least achieve a second-class personal merit.

It involves the innocence and lives of dozens of women. It can almost be called the largest private case since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

She wanted to return this favor.

Second-class personal merit is considered a good merit medal for people without background.

For someone like her, it is a ladder to the sky, and its gold content is quite high.

Li Yuan could guess what she was thinking. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't show any pretense. He gave her the names of his three nephews who only went to junior high school and let her try them out first.

But even he didn't expect that before the rewards from the Public Security Bureau came out, the Li family received three enlistment notices.

Even the name is public. Comrade Li Yuan solved the first major civilian case since the founding of the People's Republic of China. With his own merits, he recommended Li Tang, Li Zeng, and Li Zhi to join the army and strive to contribute to the strength of the motherland...

In this simple era, no one raised any objections...

After this incident, the relationship between Li Yuan and Qiu Rui became much more normal.

At least Li Yuan no longer often feels coveted eyes...

Sure enough, the exchange of interests is the number one killer of budding relationships.

…

time flies.

At the weekend, Li Yuan took his wife, son, and sister-in-law to Tsinghua University and met Gao Weihong and Lu Duoduo.

After giving Lu Duoduo massage and acupuncture and taking out the medicine package for seven days, the two took Li Yuan's family of four to tour the scenery of this famous school.

Lou Xiu and Gao Weihong chatted happily, and Lou Xiao'e actually got along well with Lu Duoduo.

The group favorite is naturally classmate Li Xing.

Gao Weihong even brought out his camera, and the group left a whole roll of negatives behind...

Lou Xiao'e also invited Gao Weihong and Lu Duoduo to her home, and Lou Xiu also liked them very much.

Both of them could see that Li Yuan did have respect for Gao Weihong, which was different from others.

Li Yuan was naturally happy to see his wife making new friends.

Standing in the Tsinghua University Garden, he quietly paid attention to every detail.

Many buildings actually lasted until sixty years later...

But compared to how old and shabby it was then, it is still very impressive now.

In this difference, Li Yuan carefully tasted the taste of time...

At the end of February, the big shopkeeper made a report on "Current Economic Situation and Several Methods to Overcome Difficulties", which was unanimously recognized and inspired countless business people.

Lou Zhentao could barely suppress the urge to come out again. In the end, Li Yuan, sisters Lou Xiu and Lou Xiao'e, had a serious talk with his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, and then he reluctantly suppressed it.

By the way, on February 24th, news came back from Nanbian'er that Hu Shi died of illness...

This writer and philosopher, who looks almost exactly like Yu Minhong and is world-famous for advocating "vernacular Chinese" and leading the new culture, caused an uproar in his last speech on stage, and ultimately ruined his entire life. He died with hatred. end.

What was he talking about?

It's very simple. He fundamentally rejected the Chinese cultural spirit, or the entire Eastern cultural spirit, because he even brought the third brother with him...

"I don't think there is much spiritual content in our old civilizations in the East. A civilization has tolerated such inhumane habits as women's footbinding for more than a thousand years, and there has been almost no resistance. What spiritual civilization can be said? A civilization tolerates' The caste system has lasted for thousands of years, how much spiritual content does it still have?"

"Just imagine an old beggar woman who died in extreme poverty, but she still recited Namo Amitabha before she died, and believed that her soul could go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss ruled by Amitabha Buddha. Just imagine this old beggar woman There’s so much spiritual value to be said for it.”

Countless people have wondered, saying "Namo Amitabha Buddha" has no spiritual value, so why don't you talk about the West's "God bless" if it has spiritual value?

The news reached Ah San, who, as the ancestor of the online scolding battle, took Hu Shi to a new level, and even had a heart attack, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

In the end, Hu Shi, whose reputation was ruined throughout his life, died amidst the roar of curses.

After Li Yuan read the newspaper, he just laughed it off.

Don't judge.

In March, the prime minister made a report entitled "On the Issue of Intellectuals" in Guangdong Province. The report pointed out that "in the past 12 years, most intellectuals in our country have undergone fundamental changes and great progress", reaffirming that the vast majority of intellectuals in our country The majority of intellectuals are intellectuals belonging to the working people, restored the correct assessment of intellectuals at the 1956 conference on intellectual issues, and emphasized the role of science and scientists in socialist construction. The report also pointed out that eradicating superstition does not mean eradicating science, but is combined with respecting science.

Countless intellectuals burst into tears and jumped for joy!

At this moment, almost everyone is full of hope for the future of the country.

Because respect for knowledge and science means the strong vitality of a nation!

Of the 81 academicians selected by the Institute in the year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, only nine went to the south, eleven went to the United States, and the remaining sixty-one stayed in the mainland.

Originally, as long as these sixty-one people were given enough space and conditions, China's scientific undertakings would surely develop greatly!

It's a pity that it's hard to put it into words.

As things progressed, many people were arrested, ransacked their homes and were sentenced. At this moment, Lou Zhentao finally came to his senses.

The enthusiasm for returning to the mountains seemed to have been frozen into ice slag overnight by the Siberian cold current.

People with lofty ideals should sigh secretly.

The autumn wind and autumn rain are so sad...

Tsk!

In Li Yuan's ordinary but very leisurely days compared to the general public, he saw the turmoil in the world, the ebb and flow, and the end of 1962...

…

1963 was an ordinary year.

Nothing special seems to have happened this year... Of course, it's not like nothing happened.

Sheng Hai completed the world's first replantation of a severed limb, and a guy named Martin Luther King in the United States delivered the "I Have a Dream" speech.

Also, this year China announced that it had basically achieved self-sufficiency in oil.

Li Yuan's two nephews, Li Cheng and Li Yu, went to Daqing, while his niece Li Mei went to the Northeast Power Plant with his brother Li Kun.

By the way, it was also this year that the "Request for Instructions on Suspension of "Ghost Shows"" was approved by the higher authorities.

The report proposed that "ghost shows" should be stopped in all parts of the country, regardless of urban or rural areas.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was stipulated that no spirits or ghosts were allowed. From this year onwards...

…

It’s early April again.

The peach blossoms in Pingjing are in full bloom...

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

"Kekeke..."

On Sunday again, wild pigeons from nowhere were chirping on the roof of the central courtyard of the courtyard, seeming to be encouraging the people playing chess below.

Li Yuan used serial horses for three consecutive rounds, beating Yi Zhonghai to death. Seeing Lao Yi's pent-up anger and about to explode, Li Yuan burst out laughing.

Seeing the villain so proud, Yi Zhonghai's face turned black and his heart ached.

But he thought that he really couldn't defeat this serial bastard, so he asked Liu Haizhong on the side: "Old Liu, I'm not in good spirits today, why don't you come?"

He adjusted his bangs a little, shook his head and said, "I had a stomachache last night, forget it."

Isn't it stupid to rush to find a slap in the face?

Seeing Yi Zhonghai looking at him again, Yan Bugui said hurriedly: "I have to go back to prepare lessons soon, and I don't have enough time."

Silly Zhuding looked down on it and curled his lips and said: "If you don't dare to do it, just say you don't do it. Hey, you two really know how to find excuses."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't go down, alas, Invincible is really lonely..."

Shazhu and Yan Jiecheng laughed, Shazhu was still the same, he was still a bachelor, and he lived a foolishly happy life.

Yan Jiecheng's life has become much easier. The most difficult days for the old Yan family have passed. Especially last year, workers' wages not only returned to the level of 1958, but a considerable number of people also had their wages increased.

In the past two years, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have been hanging around Li Yuan whenever they have the opportunity. Yu Li even made small clothes and shoes for Li Xing. Yan Jiecheng bought half a tiger bone and a tiger whip from somewhere...

In short, the young couple applied for the auxiliary room in the hall.

Good things come in pairs. Yan Jiecheng also found a temporary worker job in the steel rolling mill, and Yu Li also found a temporary worker job in the thermos bottle factory...

Hearing Li Yuan's emotion, the young man was happy, but the three elders in charge were quite disgraced.

I never expected that I can’t even play chess now...

At this time, everyone saw Xu Damao coming out of the backyard with a bruised nose and face. Silly Zhu was so happy that he said happily: "Hey, Thief Sun, did your wife get beaten again?"

Xu Damao glanced at Silhu Zhu with a resentful look and said: "Sun thief, you still have the nerve to laugh at me? Don't look at how old you are. You haven't even touched a woman, have you?" It was rare that Silhu didn't scold me back immediately. , looking vaguely weird.

Xu Damao felt baffled and sneered, then looked at Li Yuan and asked: "Yuanzi, let me tell you a few words."

Li Yuan more or less guessed, put down the chess pieces in his hand, got up and took Xu Damao back to the west wing. After closing the door, Xu Damao said with a sad face: "Yuanzi, tell me the truth, do I have any problems? We have been married for four years. It's been five years, why has there been no movement? That girl in Jin Yue is crazy, she actually said it was my problem! Tell me, isn't she talking nonsense? Could it be that you said something to her? She wants to do it now Divorce me!"

If you really want to get divorced because of this, you will lose a lot of face. Can you still be a good person in the future?

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Da Mao, your kidney energy is indeed too thin. I have advised you several times not to offend the little widow when you go to the countryside to watch movies, and to cultivate yourself well. Tell me, when did you listen? I gave you a few medicines to replenish your body, and you went out for a walk at just one o'clock. But I never told your wife about this. You don't have to worry too much, because that kid found a piece of tiger somewhere. Whip, I'll cook it into medicine and give it to you to try, it will probably be useful."

Of course, free can’t be free…

In the past few years, just by taking tonics, Xu Damao had almost lost all of the old Xu family's wealth to Li Yuan.

Xu Damao smiled and thanked him profusely, and he did a very honorable job.

He stayed for a while, then left with his head down.

Feeling the overwhelming negative emotions in his mind, Li Yuan smiled. It seemed that the time had come for this buddy to leave the courtyard...

The third-tier construction that started this year is very short of talent!

But if even this person leaves, the original plot of Siheyuan will be completely shattered.

Qin Huairu is no longer a vampire, and Jia Zhang only clings to Yi Zhonghai.

After Xu Damao also left, the soul of this courtyard changed beyond recognition.

But who cares...

After all, this courtyard is just a small microcosm of this era.

After looking at the sky, Li Yuan left the courtyard and went to Chengxian Street and Lou Mansion.

Xu Damao was not the only one who had to make arrangements to leave...

Since September 1962, the increasingly peaceful social environment suddenly came to an abrupt end. After the thunder of "evil winds" exploded, Li Yuan often took his wife, children, and aunt back to his mother-in-law's house. .

The mother-in-law, Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiu only thought that he was trying to comfort the frightened Lou Zhentao, and they were quite relieved, but they didn't know that Li Yuan had been subtly influencing their family, Lao Taishan.

Calculating the days, it should be almost done.

If you really want to leave when the ax is coming like in the original time and space, the price will be too high...

…

PS: The second chapter will be a little later today. My son had a fever yesterday. I was very worried and didn’t finish it.
