1976 was an extraordinary year for China. Many years later, Lu Li recalled that in this year, there were two things worth remembering forever, first of all, this natural disaster that happened around him; the other was the first time he discovered in his life that someone would beat his chest and stamp his feet and cry loudly for the death of a person he didn't know at all!

Together with the commune members, educated youth, disaster relief doctors, nurses, commanders and soldiers, standing on the ruins, waiting until the loudspeaker conveyed the bad news, a whine sounded over the merchant forest! Everyone took off their hats and covered their faces with their hands. Lu Li could clearly see that large pieces of tears surged out of their fingers. This made him feel full of respect: What should a person do and what does it do? Only then can he get the respect of so many people and the love of so many people? Only after he left can he get so many tears?

The train rumbled, heading westward. Lu Li sat in the seat by the window of the carriage, lowered his head, thinking about something in his mind: This morning, he had just sent away Chang Xinghai, Hu Chusan and Meng Xiaobiao.

One of his legs in Chang Xinghai was broken. Because his injuries were serious, he had to amputate the last one. Moreover, he did not recover from the surgery because of his malnutrition and was thinner. The Chang's parents rushed from Wuhan (Han) and saw that their originally healthy and beautiful son turned into such a miserable appearance, the couple burst into tears!

Chang Xinghai became disabled (there was no such name as a disabled person at that time), so naturally he could no longer go to the countryside in the business forest. So the couple went through the corresponding procedures and took their children to the bus to travel far. Lu Li and Xu Yunjian and others personally took them to the train station, and Chang Xinghai also burst into tears, "Xiao Lu, I was wrong with the matter at that time. For the sake of us all educated youth, have you forgotten it?"

"I have never held a grudge against you." Luli stretched out his hand and shook it with Chang Xinghai. "Xiao Chang, go back and study hard and keep working hard! Legs...,"

"I understand, I know." Chang Xinghai also forced a smile and said proudly: "We are all good soldiers of great leaders. How can we scare this difficulty? Don't worry! Oh, by the way, when you pass by Wuhan in the future, don't forget your buddy, come and see me."

"Sure! I promise!"

He sent Chang Xinghai away, followed by two educated youth from Guangdong. Their bodies were not incomplete, but one had plastered with left arm and the other's right leg. The merchant Lin didn't care about them, so he discussed with his superiors and decided to let them go back to their hometown in Guangdong Province, recover from their injuries, and then go to the battlefield.

Before parting, Lu Li found the smashed camphor wood box from the ruins of his home, took out the money his aunt brought to him, took out three pieces of Datuanjie and stuffed them into Hu Chusan's pocket, "Xiaoxiao... don't, don't..."

"Your trip is too far away, and no one has come to take care of you at home. Keep this little money and you may use it on the way."

Hu Chu, a young man in his thirties, was so moved that he burst into tears, "Xiaoxiao, you are a friend... you really can't play (Cantonese, nothing to say, impeccable). I'll borrow this money from you. When I get home, I'll send it back to you!"

Luli couldn't understand his Cantonese language at all, so he patted his hands with a smile, "All the way is good, remember to recover from the injury. Once the injury is cured, come back quickly. Let's continue to do the revolution together!"

******************************************

Lu Li sighed quietly, suddenly felt the speed of the car slowing down, and looked out the window and had already entered the city of Tianjin. "Xiaoxiao," Xu Yunjian was the first to stand up. He was already out of reach. "Prepare, we're home."

The first time a group of young people went home after the earthquake, the weather was already a little cool at night. The building on Heping Road was next to the building, and the shacks were crowded with the huts. The miserable and sadness were really not too much! Heping Road, one of the main roads of Tianjin (Tianjin), has now become a huge vegetable market, with people hustle and garbage everywhere. In such a season, a sour smell hits the nose tube.

The department store, one of the landmark buildings in Tianjin, survived the earthquake, but it also suffered a great pain. Large pieces of walls fell off, revealing the hard granite inside. The front of the street was not left, and the black holes, like bloody mouths opened, and even the imported revolving doors were completely broken, leaving only a few metal pillars for support.

The worst thing is the roof. There was originally a large clock on all sides above the building. On the top of the bell tower was a metal lightning protection device. At present, all these things were invisible. Later, Yu Fang said that the base of the big clock and the lightning rod on it were shocked and hung there obliquely. People were worried that there would be danger at any time, so they removed it.

On the day of dismantling, there were tens of thousands of people on Heping Road. It seemed that all the people in Tianjin came to watch. It was very lively. Some people picked up some scrap iron and took it back to sell it as trash!

He didn't know where his aunt lived, so he broke up with Xu Yunjian and several others. Zhao Min took him to find the mother and mother, saying that it was the mother and mother, but Yu Fang was the only one. Wu Ting was still not honest even after such a natural disaster. The child seemed to be heartless and made a fuss every day.

Seeing his aunt lifting the kettle on the stove with difficulty, Lu Li stepped forward and grabbed the handle, "I'll do it!"

Yu Fang was suddenly stunned. How many times did the child appear in front of her in her dream? The woman was stunned. "Little..."

"Auntie, I'm back!"

Yu Fang's lips twitched, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped him! Her body trembled like fallen leaves in the cold wind! "Xiaoxiao, why did you come back? You didn't even see your uncle for the last time! You are so immoral! You don't come back to send your uncle for the last time?! He raised you so old in vain! Baokun, little... little, child... it's okay, he's back!"

Yu Fang's crying instantly shattered the Great Wall of Steel in Lu Lijiuzhu's heart! He held his hands tightly, and tears flowed all over his face! "Aunt..."

Yu Fang hugged the child and cried loudly!

Zhao Min stood aside and waited for the mother and mother to cry almost, then came over to persuade him, "Auntie, Luli is back, don't cry."

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry! Girl, thank you. Xiaoxiao, why don't you let the girl sit in there?"

The three of them wiped their tears and walked into the built shed with corrugated boards and asbestos boards on their heads, surrounded by wooden piles. They were simplicity and low safety factor, which made people worry that a gust of wind might blow down! "Auntie, are you living here?"

"Where can I live there? This is the one who is in your uncle's office and the street, and I am an old lady, where can I get it myself?"

"Winter is here, how cold is it?"

"If it's really cold, I'll go home to sleep. Alas, I'm worried about living there, and I don't know if it will collapse at night."

Lu Li frowned deeply, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Auntie, don't be afraid, it can't collapse! Such an earthquake may not be once in a thousand years. When the aftershocks have almost passed, you will go back and live with you."

"How do you know? Now, sometimes you still wander around at night."

This thought suddenly appeared. Lu Li didn't know how to explain his argument just now, so he was stunned by Yu Fang's question.

Zhao Min smiled at the side, "Auntie, what you said was caused by a car, and it has nothing to do with the real earthquake. Look at this built shed. Is there an earthquake really coming? Can it withstand it?"

Yu Fang was a little confused. There was no need to think too much about it now. She held Lu Li's hand and went to the bed, "Xiaoxiao, you... can you stay here this time? Will you still leave?"

"I have to leave, but don't worry, I will try my best to stay for a few days."

"Do you still have to leave?" Yu Fang couldn't hide her disappointment and regret, "Then, let's come back again this time?"

Luli couldn't answer this question either. He shook his head, "Auntie, uncle..., I want to visit my uncle's grave."

When talking about her husband, Yu Fang started crying again, crying and complaining, "What are you going to the grave? They are all cremated in piles!"

The number of deaths in Tianjin (Tianjin) city was far less than that in Tangshan. Even so, it greatly exceeded the speed at which the funeral home could cremate. In the end, it had to deal with it in a centralized manner and cremated together. Lu Li didn't want to fail to achieve such a request.

He didn't dare to cry in front of his aunt, so he had to hide in a place where there was no one and cry!

Three people, including him, were brave enough to live in the building shed. Lu Li was the first to return to the old house in Wangjia Hutong. All the furniture in the house was shaken down, and even a few iron pipes supporting the dark building fell out of the wall. The bed trunk on it lost its support and slid to the ground, like a huge guillotine, leaning on the ground obliquely. The sheets, mosquito nets, pillows, mats, and books were scattered everywhere on it. He looked at these and was a little stupid: How did my aunt and younger sister escape such a serious destruction? Thank God!

Later he learned that his aunt and daughter did not go upstairs to sleep on the night of the incident - the rise of hot air is a simple principle of physics. The dark building is nearly two meters above the ground. It was fine in winter, but in summer, it was like a cage! The mother and daughter slept on the bed downstairs and escaped by luck.

Lu Li shook his head, feeling helpless. The house was too messy and he had no idea how to clean up. When he turned around, he found Xu Yunjian and the others and asked them to help.

All the buildings in Tianjin are similar to those here. Although the house has not collapsed, the cracked cracks on the walls are transparent to the front and back. How can we see it? How can we live in a dangerous house? So the construction became a place to live. This situation continued until around 1981, and under the systematic arrangements and comprehensive maintenance of the state, citizens were allowed to move back to their old houses.

Lu Li slept in the old house in the alley at night, and during the day he went to Linjianzhong on Heping Road to take care of his aunt and daughter. "Your elder sister and your second sister have both sent letters. They are fine, the children and the adults are all fine."

"This year... are they coming back...?"

"I don't know, it's not written in the letter."

"Aunt, if they don't come back, you and I will go to Tangshan?"

"ah?"

"It's cold during the Chinese New Year, and you don't dare to live alone. How can you spend the winter in this built shed? Go to Tangshan with me, where you have started to rebuild your houses. There are People's Liberation Army and many people from all over the country to help, which may be faster than Tianjin City."

"This, is my household registration still in Tianjin? Is it okay to go there? What should I eat and drink?"

"With me here, are you still afraid of being hungry?" Luli said with a smile: "Auntie, it's not me who brags about you. Luli is there, now he is one of the best people. Really, I can assure you."

Yu Fang was still a little confused. The child went to the countryside to respond to the call of the Party and the country. What is it for himself? And don’t go back like this, you will never come back? He has an urban household registration and has become a rural household registration for no reason. What is that? "I'd better not, I'm afraid that the policy will change when I come back, so I won't let me come back?"

Lu Li didn't understand his aunt's concerns, and he didn't dare to force him, "That's it. But Aunt, you can't spend the winter here. You either have the courage to live with me or go to Tangshan together."

Yu Fang thought about it for a while, but did not answer immediately, "Xiaoxiao, that girl from Zhao family, you have to thank her very much. She has nothing to do with our family. For me, the girl went to Tangshan. This favor is too great! Please ask where they live? I will thank you with you?"

"Cheng." After talking to his aunt, Lu Li went to find Zhao Min, and her family moved to a built-in shed.

The buildings of this special era are all nearby. The Zhao family built two of them, one of them, and one of them, the sisters and the couple took their younger brothers. As for Zhao Jian, he now works in the watch factory, and the conditions there are better. Originally, the factory had certain remedies for all the affected employees, but there were too many monks and too little porridge to be divided. Especially for those like Zhao Jian who did not work for a long time, they were ignored in principle. However, Zhao Jian and Xie Wuhua are good friends, and Xie Wuhua is a person whom the whole factory dare not offend. Through this relationship, Zhao Jian even got the right to live in the factory's staff dormitory. He was not at home and only came back on Mondays (the factory rests every Tuesday).

But Zhao Jian came back today because Xie Wuchuan told him that when he went to Zhao's house to find her the day before yesterday, the girl was very cold to him, which made him feel something wrong: it was not that he wanted to cut the bridge across the river, right? He helped their family so much, what did this girl want to do? Do you want to kick him? Xie Wuchuan had something to ask in his heart, but looking at Zhao Min's delicate skin as beautiful as Huaer, Xie Wuchuan felt ashamed and did not dare to question him in person, so he had to leave in shame.

This is true for Zhao Min. He is not so gentle, respectful, frugal and polite to Zhao Jian. He asked him and scolded him, "Don't think it's over if you come in. You can get you in and get out!"

Zhao Jian was very scared. He absolutely couldn't afford to offend Xie Wu. He hurriedly got off work, rushed home, and shouted, "Xiao Min? Xiao Min?"

"What are you calling? Why?" Zhao Min returned to his side from his parents' back-to-back shed and talked to his brother.

"What are you doing? Xiao Xie came that day. What is your attitude? What are you going to do?"

Zhao Min's eyes rolled and understood the situation, "You are here, please turn around and say, let's forget about this."

"What... let it go?"

"It's my business with him. I'm tired of that person, don't let him come in the future."

Zhao Jian's face turned red and he jumped up and shouted, "No, absolutely not! I tell you Zhao Min, there is no such thing as this! You have to have a partner with him! If you don't have a relationship with him, I..."

Zhao Min raised her pretty face and glared at her brother, "What do you want to do? What do you want to do to me?"

"I'm slapping you with a big mouth."

"You dare!?"

"Dare..." Zhao Jian was so angry that he started to smoke on his head, and turned around and looked for the guy, "I will ignore you today, you..." He grabbed a broom from a corner of the Linjian shed and raised it up, "You said,..."

"What do you say? Don't dream about Xie Wuzhuang! There is no one at all!"

Zhao Jian looked at his sister's calm face, raised the broom in his hand again and again, but he didn't dare to fall down. "What is this?" Zhao's mother snatched it in one step, "What are you brothers doing? It won't work if you don't see it for a while! Xiao Jian, throw the broom there! A guest came to the house, and I'll tell you if you know, are you laughing at me?"

Zhao Jian didn't do it and said it again, "Mom, look at her, is there anything so inconsistent? Isn't this a broken bridge across the river? How can I be a human being in my company in the future?"

"You deserve it! Who asked you to sell your sister?"

This is really hurtful, and Zhao's mother couldn't help it anymore, "Xiao Min, what did you say? Did you say that to your brother? Why did he sell you?"

"Isn't it? Didn't I just want to join the watch factory for me and I went to the watch factory for him? Or did I say something wrong?" Zhao Min became more and more aggrieved, and in the end, she also cried.

A quarrel that happened here naturally reached the other side. Lu Li and his aunt sat opposite Dad Zhao, pretending that they didn't hear it. In this case, as outsiders, it is more appropriate for them to pretend to be confused. "This third brother is just disobedient," Dad Zhao smiled awkwardly, "By the way, have you eaten? Just eat here tonight, there is nothing good,..."

"I won't eat anymore," Yu Fang smiled and shook her head, "There is still a small one at home. I'll let the neighbors watch it temporarily, and I have to go back after a break."

"Don't, you finally come here and leave after you finish your meal. Xiao Lu, are you trying to persuade your aunt?"

Luli heard the noise that was getting louder and louder next to him, and smiled bitterly, "No, let's go... Auntie, let's go."

"Yes, yes." The mother and the mother got up and were about to leave. As soon as the door of Linjian's shed opened, Zhao Jian broke in. "Dad..." He saw Lu Li at a glance and turned around and shouted, "Xiao Min, are you doing it for him? Didn't you split from him? Why did he come again? Alas! Why are you here? Get out of here quickly!"

Dad Zhao made his son unable to get out of the market in front of the guest, and his face was dull and slapped his son head-on, "I'm here to see me, why are you driving him away? It's not your turn to decide this family!"

Zhao Min and his daughter followed in. When they saw Lu Li, the girl suddenly became bolder, "That's right, what's wrong with him? I like him, can you keep it?"

Zhao Jian was even more angry. My sister was so outrageous! She actually admitted it in person? A burst of anger ejaculation rushed towards Lu Li, and she raised her hand and slapped her in the face!

If Luli's reaction was normal, he would never be able to hit him, but this time, his mood was in chaos. Zhao Min's words gave him a huge impact. He had no expectation that the other party would take action. The slap was firmly held! He turned his head and snatched out half a step. "Xiaoxiao?" Yu Fang felt sorry for the child and supported him, "Is it okay? Auntie, don't break it?"

"I'm fine."

Yu Fang stopped doing it now and glared at the Zhao couple, "Old Zhao, what are you doing? If you have something to say, why do you do it when you come up? Let's come today, and we are here to call you?"

The Zhao couple was extremely embarrassed and even more embarrassed. No matter what, their son's behavior was very rude and irrational. One raised his hand and slapped his son's face. The other hurriedly apologized.

Yu Fangli ignored it and took Lu Li's hand, "Xiaoxiao, let's go, hurry up! Good guy, if you stay there, your life must be left here!"

This sentence is extremely sinister! The Zhao couple blushed and had a thick neck. They sent them out of the building shed, apologizing without any trouble, watching them leave and fight with Zhao Jian when they come back!
Chapter completed!
