Chapter 388 The Great Era Is Coming

At the end of March, Zhou Rong received a letter saying that Feng Huacheng's unit had come forward and rescued the person. I was detained for a month and nothing happened. He also said that when Feng Huacheng returns, the two will reconcile and then pack up and return to Jichun.

At this time, Shao Jingwen came over again to see if Feng Huacheng had returned. He also said that if he didn't come back, he would not be able to catch up with this special issue on commemorating the leader, and he would have to work together next time.

Zhou Bingkun said with a smile that he would contact Feng Huacheng when he came back, and sent Shao Jingwen away warmly. He remembered what his good brother said, so there must be truth to what he said. And to be honest, after what happened before, he felt that Feng Huacheng was not very reliable. He is educated and famous, he admits, and also admires him. But he didn't understand why the poem had to be read in a crowd of people? After all, if you don’t read it, there won’t be such bad things. He thought Feng Huacheng had something wrong with his head. So even though he had the troublesome poem in his hand, he still obeyed and did not spread it out.

He didn't take it upon himself to think that since Zhou Rong had already written a letter, it would be fine. Because compared to his elder sister who doesn't even understand the world, he prefers to believe in a good brother who always talks about what he says and has a higher position.

Of course, Feng Huacheng did not disappoint.

When Zhou Rong breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to pack up and return to her long-awaited hometown, she did not wait to return to Feng Huacheng. After asking about it, she found out that Feng Huacheng had gone to the capital.

In a hurry, he made three more phone calls to Zhou Bingkun, Cai Xiaoguang, and Wang Yan to explain the matter. She told Zhou Bingkun that she was going to the capital, and that her children would stay at home first, and not to tell Li Suhua, and asked him to take good care of Li Suhua and Feng Yue, and told him to contact Cai Xiaoguang and Wang Yan if anything happened. Tell Cai Xiaoguang, explain what happened, and ask him to take care of Zhou Bingkun. Tell Wang Yan that he needs to worry more and take care of his family...

After some time, news came back that a large number of people had been arrested in the capital, but no news was received from Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng...

In mid-April, spring returns to the earth and swallows return to their nests.

In the cafeteria of the First City Hospital, doctors in white coats were bustling with people. Zhou Bingkun munched on white steamed buns: "Brother, will my sister and Feng Huacheng be in trouble?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I just arrested him and locked him up for a while. It's not a big deal."

"Brother, dear brother, it's not a big deal, right? If my mother knew about this, she would fall for her immediately. Believe it or not!"

"Then you don't let her know. You've been hiding this for a month. It won't be a big problem if you hide it for a few more months. I've been recuperating my aunt over the years, and she's in good health. In fact, it won't be a big problem if she knows, but we can't take risks. , Just keep it a secret. I guess it will be fine by the end of the year.”

"That can only be like this." Zhou Bingkun nodded, feeling a little lucky: "Thankfully I didn't give the poem written by Feng Huacheng to Shao Jingwen before, otherwise I would have to go in this time, thank you. Ah brother."

"Take advantage of this again." Wang Yan kicked him, but he dodged with a smile: "You have to thank yourself, I said it, but if you don't believe it or listen, no one can save me." Not you.”

"You are my brother, so I still can't trust you?" Zhou Bingkun said: "Then what should my mother do? It's only April, and there are still eight or nine months before the year. My sister has not been there for such a long time. Shit, can she not think too much about it?"

"Wouldn't it be enough if you just wrote the letter yourself? She doesn't know how to read, so she just got over it."

"Well, that's okay. Then I'll write a letter later when my mother starts talking about it. But I guess she won't be able to stop talking about it. There are three elders and one younger one in the family, and they work all day long. My mother wakes up early every day. Just fell asleep."

At this time, Wang Yan threw his child at Lao Zhou's house. There were many children there, not counting Zhou Jianhua and Feng Yue, but also boys from other families. The gang of boys were having so much fun that Wang Jianye was not willing to come back. After all, with his mother, he basically just reads and writes at home, while with his father, he still reads and writes. He spends little time playing, and doesn't have much company, but Lao Zhou's house is still lively.

After chatting with Zhou Bingkun about the children for a while, lunch passed, and then everyone went about their own business. Life went on as usual, and it was not affected by the affairs of Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng...

In July, another important leader passed away, and once again the whole country mourned. However, before people could react, bad news came one after another. In late July, a major earthquake in Tang City affected hundreds of thousands of people. It broke out in the middle of the night without any preparation. Many people left in their sleep, and many more were suffering underground. , died in pain. Countless people looked at their ruined homes in despair, unable to shed a single tear.

After confirming the situation, it is appropriate for the government to urgently carry out earthquake relief. As the first miracle doctor in Northeast China and an outstanding party member, Wang Yan volunteered to lead a team to the disaster area. His apprentices, including Zheng Guangming, all followed him, as well as some other doctors, who urgently gathered to go south.

After an earthquake occurs, it is very dangerous because there will be aftershocks. This greatly increases the difficulty and danger of disaster relief. During this process, there were tens of thousands of casualties in disaster relief operations. As the saying goes, there is no love for the great disaster, there are all kinds of touching stories, all kinds of sacrifices and dedications, the army and the people are united, and the great power of the people is once again revealed.

At this time, personal power is actually limited. Even if Wang Yan led people around, his contribution to the entire disaster would be negligible. But I still paid for it, and I felt at peace.

At the end of August, Wang Yan returned to Jichun with a bunch of tired doctors.

In September, the great leader passed away and the whole country mourned.

In October, the "Up to the Countryside" movement ended...

In November, Zhou Rong, who had not been heard from for a long time, finally made some news. She said that she was released and would go back to Guizhou Province with Feng Huacheng to do some work. The child should stay here first, so that Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun, Wang Yan and others would take care of it. Of course, they also did not forget to inform Cai Xiaoguang. Cai Xiaoguang is a real man of work. In the past six months, he would come to stroll from time to time to see how Li Suhua was doing. They were quite close.

This month, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, who had been imprisoned for six years for speculation, were released from prison. They quickly dealt with the house here, got a sum of money, and went south without staying. They had a bright future and became one of the first people to get rich after the reform. Of course, that was their original fate, and it is still unknown now.

During the Spring Festival of 1977, none of the Zhou family's relatives who were away came back. Zhou Zhigang still sent a letter to Li Suhua to take care of her health, and to Zhou Bingkun and Wang Yan to do their work well and educate their children well. Zhou Bingyi sent a letter explaining the reason, and also said that Hao Dongmei's father would resume work after the New Year, most likely in the Jiangliao Provincial Party Committee. Zhou Rong said that they had not been back to Guizhou Province for half a year, and there were many things to do, so they could not leave for the time being. She also asked them to take good care of Feng Yue and Li Suhua.

Li Suhua was very sad, because her wish to reunite with her family had not been fulfilled for eight years, and there was always separation. But she was not too sad, because the son, daughter-in-law, nephew, nephew's wife, and a room full of little kids were always lively and always gave people hope for a good future.

Before the New Year, Zheng's mother fell ill. After Wang Yan cured her, Zheng's mother was no longer able to do it. Her health collapsed and deteriorated. Wang Yan told Zheng Juan very confidently that this was Zheng's mother's last year. So this year, Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming also came together, instead of waiting to get together later.

In the third year of junior high school, Zhou Bingkun and his good friends had a party. Although Xiao Guoqing's wife Wu Qian was still so nagging, nagging about the family affairs, and nitpicking about this and that, they were generally good, better than most people of the same period.

Cao Debao, Lu Chuan, and Tang Xiangyang were still doing the slag removal work in the soy sauce factory. Although they still had some complaints about Qu Xiuzhen transferring Zhou Bingkun to the sales department in 1973 and earning more than them, they could understand it. After all, Zhou Bingkun did do a favor to others, and at that time, his good brother Wang Yan had already been transferred to the municipal hospital and was well-known, which they could not compare with.

Besides, Wang Yan did not rely on others for help. He diagnosed each disease one by one, even though those patients had some status. But in the end, it was his own skills. People of similar age as them achieved such great achievements in a short period of time, and they were also convinced. And most importantly, they have also benefited a lot over the years. Not to mention the treatment, even during the Chinese New Year, the things Zhou Bingkun gave them were all good things that were not easily available and not cheap. Of course, they knew that they were all brought back by Wang Yan.

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao still work in the timber factory. Their wives, Wu Qian and Yu Hong, still work in state-owned restaurants and sugar factories. They are all quite stable, all state-owned employees, holding the so-called iron rice bowl. There is some pressure in life, after all, except for Zhou Bingkun, no one's family is easy, but it is not too big, just normal trivialities.

They would not have thought that this gathering would be their most relaxed one. The great changes in the country are coming, which is a severe challenge for everyone living on this land. Most people have been picked down, and they are no exception.

People think they are the center of the world and the protagonist destined by heaven, but only at a certain time do they know that they are just ordinary people among the masses. Wang Yan knew this when he graduated from a poor university and was looking for a job in sales. But later, he really became the protagonist destined by heaven.

In April, Zheng's mother, who had lived for a few more years, finally fell down. On the warm kang in the two rooms of Taiping Hutong, Zheng's mother held Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming's hands and talked about their childhood. She no longer hid the fact that she picked up Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming, the siblings, one after another. She told Zheng Juan what happened at that time, and the interesting story of Zheng Juan asking where her father was when she was a child. She smiled and left with a smile...

Seventeen-year-old Zheng Guangming is a good boy, but also stubborn. He didn't want to cause trouble for Zheng Juan and insisted on living at home. It was Wang Yan who persuaded him with his own example, and then he moved to the old Zhou family to live with him. Li Suhua was of course welcome, there was room at home, and Zheng Guangming was very popular. Zheng Guangming took over the work of fetching water and taking out the garbage. He was not as strong as Zhou Bingkun, but he was diligent. If he couldn't do it once, he would do it twice, and he could do it one trip at a time. Li Suhua said that he was exactly the same as Wang Yan when he was a child.

At the end of August, there was a rumor that the upper echelons had some controversy over whether to resume the college entrance examination. The fact that the college entrance examination recommendation was suspended and many colleges and universities announced the postponement of the opening of the school proved this point. Countless men and women in many fields and factories saw hope and picked up their books again.

In October, the national leadership reached a consensus and announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. In the middle of the month, radio stations and other media published the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination as headlines, and this exciting news quickly spread across the country.

Workers, farmers, educated youth who have gone to work in the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized servicemen, cadres and fresh high school graduates who meet the enrollment requirements can voluntarily sign up. The time for the college entrance examination is determined by each province, and the questions are also independently set by each province.

The college entrance examination examination room, which had been closed for eleven years, reopened its doors, and more than 5.7 million candidates from different origins, ages, and identities poured into the examination room. Starts in mid-November and ends in late December. Wang Yan knew that less than 300,000 of them could enter the university.

Chen Jing, who had been preparing for two years, of course also took the college entrance examination, and she applied for Beijing University. This year's questions were simple, and Wang Yan provided guidance from time to time, so there was no problem. In the previous correspondence, Zhou Bingyi, Hao Dongmei, and Zhou Rong also told the news about taking the college entrance examination, and advised Zhou Bingkun to also sign up for the exam. There was also a letter from Zhou Zhigang, saying something like this, which meant that we would decide whether it was feasible or not.

Zhou Bingkun had listened to his brother's advice two years ago. He figured it out at that time and was mentally prepared for it, so he didn't even sign up and was too lazy to compare.

During the Spring Festival of 1978, it was another year when no one came home in the old Zhou family.

Before the New Year, a group of people from Lao Zhou's family began to communicate with each other and discuss matters about returning home for the New Year. After writing letters and making phone calls back and forth, I finally made it clear. Brother and sister Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong are confident that it will not be a big problem to get into college because they have never given up studying over the years and have been studying courses on their own. This time the questions are easy and they are very confident.

So they decided not to go home for the Chinese New Year this year. It's such a long way back and forth, so why bother? Wait until after school and come back during the summer vacation. Zhou Zhigang originally didn't want to come back this year, but when he saw that he was going to have a happy reunion, he happily agreed, and when the time came, he would go home for a vacation and reunite.

"Oh, in five or six months, they will all be back. It's great."

On the evening of the thirties, Li Suhua, Zhou Bingkun, Zheng Juan, Wang Yan, and Chen Jing sat on the warm kang, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and listening to Li Suhua's chatter. As for the little brats, Zheng Guangming is taking them outside to set off small whips.

Zhou Bingkun said: "Mom, I know you are looking forward to it. You have been saying this since childhood, and I am tired of hearing it."

"What, your mother is not happy to listen to you after just talking about it for a few days?" Li Suhua slapped the second son angrily: "I'm tired of seeing you every day. Go and stay away from me."

"Mom, we don't have the same experience as him. You have hope and are happy."

"By the way, it has to be Juan'er. Bingkun is able to marry someone like you because he burns such incense."

Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Then you can't be attracted to me?"

Li Suhua curled her lips and ignored her old son.

After the laughter, Zhou Bingkun exclaimed: "Brother, I am already twenty-seven this year, and I will be thirty in a blink of an eye. Didn't you say before that I could make several thousand-yuan households? I haven't made a fortune yet. When?"

"What's going on? How many households worth ten thousand yuan are there?"

Not only Li Suhua was surprised, Zheng Juan and Chen Jing on the side also said hello.

Zhou Bingkun said with a smile: "Mom, that time in 1973, when Cao Debao was sleeping under the quilt, have you forgotten? My brother said he read a fortune for me and said I could get rich before I was thirty. During the Chinese New Year the year before last, my brother and I When I gave it to my eldest brother, he said that your old son could earn several thousand yuan. "

"Don't let your brother fool you. There are several thousand-yuan households. It's good if you can earn just one." Li Suhua said, "If you want to make money, you have to be educated. Your dad asked you to sign up and give it a try, but you didn't go. I don’t have much money for that thing. What if I pass the exam? Oops, I get angry when I talk about this. You said your eldest brother, your second sister, Dongmei and Jing’er, they all took the exam. What can I do?"

"Auntie, you have misunderstood Bingkun." Wang Yan explained with a smile: "I asked him the year before last, and he said he knew how much he weighed. He was not good at school, and he said he had to earn money to support the family. I have to take care of you, Zheng Juan and the others. We can’t live without someone at home.”

"Well, it's true that you're not good at school. If you want to take care of me, should I take care of you? Your dad is responsible for making money. He is an eighth-level worker. Isn't it easy to support us?"

Speaking of Zhou Zhigang's eighth-level job, Li Suhua was very proud. After all, could his own man earn it? There are only a few eighth-level workers in the entire phototype field, which is much worse than theirs. Of course, she was also very touched by her old son's hard work. For so many years, it was just my old son who took care of it.

But after Li Suhua finished speaking, she smiled and patted her old son gently: "I can't say that you are not good at studying. It's just that you have been naughty since you were a child and didn't put your mind into studying. Is it true that you are good at studying? Not coming out.”

Zhou Bingkun was in a good mood. He shook his head and said, "Mom, please stop comforting me. I have read books and fallen asleep when I couldn't sleep these years. Why study? Brother, please stop changing the subject and talk quickly." It’s about me getting rich.”

"It depends on timing and courage. Now that your wealth has shown up, it's not a big problem to make a small fortune, but it's still a little too early. Let's wait and see. I guess it will be fine after we are reunited. , you can come to me when the time comes, and I will give you some advice."

Before Zhou Bingkun could speak, Li Suhua said: "Why do you need so much courage? Xiaoyan, Bingkun is not as capable as you, so don't let him do anything outrageous. If anything happens to him, my aunt can follow him. You are in a hurry."

"No, Mom, can you hope for something better from me? Something happened when you didn't do anything? Besides, can my brother still harm me?"

"Isn't that what I'm afraid of?"

Glancing at Zheng Juan who was also worried next to him, Wang Yan smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I guarantee that Bingkun is safe and healthy. If you just want to make money, you must pay. Sometimes you can't look forward and backward, right? ? Hesitating is definitely a bad thing."

"That's true." Li Suhua sighed and said: "You really can't hesitate to do this. You don't know that when I gave birth to Zhou Rong, it was difficult to give birth. The doctor asked me to protect her baby. I said "baby baby" without even thinking about it. Then Your eldest brother wasn't much older at that time. If I were gone, your eldest brother would be in trouble. Later, his father even praised me for being decisive. Zhou Rong didn't know about this, so you couldn't tell her otherwise. You think I’m the mother, what’s going on, what did we say?”

The four of them kept it secret, praised Li Suhua's decisiveness, and made the old lady laugh happily.

Wang Yan said: "Auntie, Bingkun, speaking of the second sister, I have something to tell you."

"Look at you kid, just tell me if you have something to do."

"Isn't it time to take the Beijing University entrance examination? When school starts in the next year, I plan to take Jianye to send Jing'er to school. I will take a look at the capital by the way. I haven't been there in these years. I was wondering if I should ask two questions Sister, would you like to send Yueyue over?" Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Auntie, Bingkun, I don't have any other intentions. It's not that I dislike Yueyue or anything. It's just that this child came here when he was three years old, and he is now five years old. , I understand. Once you get used to staying with us, you won’t be kissing your second sister and second brother-in-law anymore. It will be difficult to pick her up by then. This is a big deal and cannot be ignored. "

"With such a small child, what can she understand?" Li Suhua shook her head and said: "It won't matter if it takes a long time, just spend more time with her parents. Besides, I took care of this child for two years, and suddenly gave it away. I feel weird about it."

"Auntie, I understand what you mean. But you can't just ignore your child because he is young. If you don't understand anything else, then you don't understand who to kiss or get close to? She might not remember things before she was three years old, but now she does. Son, to be honest, aunt, if you hadn’t shown her photos every day to identify people, she wouldn’t even know what her second sister and her second brother-in-law look like. It works.

Let’s not talk about Yueyue, let’s talk about Bingkun. When he was young, he even met my uncle. My uncle went out to work and was gone for a year or two. Bingkun, when you were a child, were you a little nervous when you met your uncle? "

Zhou Bingkun grinned sheepishly and touched the back of his head: "I'm not alive anymore. I'm scared. My dad came back and kicked me once. After we were together for a few days, I just started to feel something. My dad kicked me and left. Well, why don’t you give birth?”

"You are so naughty, how can your father not beat you with your temper?" Li Suhua smiled and touched his old son's head: "If you say so, this is really a problem. Xiaoyan is the one who knows the most in our family. Bingyi and Zhou Rong are not here, and they haven't seen each other much, so his worry is indeed something. Hey... just ask, Bingkun will call your sister when we can talk on the phone. "

"Okay, then I'll ask and tell her what my brother said."

"Is this child stupid? Don't make small talk, just say it's what you think about, and make it clear. It's not that you don't want to take care of Yue Yue, but that you are worried about their feelings."

"Auntie, anyone can say it, I don't care so much." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Okay, it's almost time, let's make dumplings."

"Make dumplings, make dumplings."

"Oh, another year..."
