It is said that Fengjiang used Sunday to search for relatives many times, but did not find this "Ten Villages". It is no wonder that at that time, the brigades were integrated and merged. For example, there was a brigade near his home that included five natural villages, and the village where Fengjiang was located also It was transferred from Dafengzhuang Township to Yahongqiao Commune. He only found a stone shop a few miles away. When he went to the village and inquired, he found that there were no newborn babies at all. 1961 had the lowest birth rate of those years, nationwide. After that, Fengjiang was recruited as a special soldier at school. Her two daughters were still young and no one could go to find their relatives. The matter of finding relatives became a worry for Fengquan's mother. We can only hope that the other party can find this place in the future, after all, it is very close to the place of birth.
In the following years, Fengquan's health has not been very good. After all, he was born in a difficult period and his mother was definitely deficient in calcium. Fengquan's grandma asked someone to check it out and said the name was bad. She changed it from Fengquan to Fengquan, but the change had no obvious effect.
When Xiao Fengquan was six or seven years old, something happened!
At that time, a group of migrant workers came to the river to the west to repair the river. They were in response to the leader's call, "We must radically restore the Haihe River." Although this area is not the Haihe River, it is also included in the national plan. The river worker had a room number in the village, and several migrant workers lived in the wing of Fengquan's house. There was a team leader among the river workers, who seemed to be the company commander of the village militia. Feng Quan called him "Xuan'er Shu". (I have to apologize to the audience here. Literally speaking, "Xuan'er Shu" should be pronounced He is Uncle Xuan. This uncle’s surname is Xuan. In Jingdong dialect, Xuan is pronounced as Xuan, while Uncle is pronounced as Shu. In Uncle Quan’s words, Uncle Xuan became “Xuan’er Shu”. At the beginning, the author wrote It's true that Uncle Xuan, but after writing it and reading it, I still don't have the feeling of "Xuan'er's collection" in Uncle Quan's words. I think of the happiness that overflowed on Uncle Quan's face every time he mentioned "Xuan'er's collection", I really couldn't bear to change it to another pronunciation, so I had to give up the superficial meaning, choose the word based on the pronunciation, and write "Xuaner Shu" - author's note)
"Xuan Er Shu" liked Feng Quan very much. After work, he would always play with Feng Quan. Whenever he had free time, he would make a toy or something for Feng Quan. Later, in his spare time, he inserted a straw into Feng Quan. Birdcage, "Xuan'er collected it" took the birdcage and asked Feng Quan, do you like this? Go find grandma and give me some peanuts, and I'll give them to you! Feng Quan ran to grandma and asked for a handful of peanuts. I heard the word peanut in "Xuan'er Shu". "Xuan Ershou" taught Feng Quan how to memorize "Xiao Liu Jiu" and the abacus. Feng Quan was very smart and could learn it as soon as he learned it. What's "back planing", "peeling off", in short, I don't know what it is!
It was summer, and there was no electricity in the countryside at that time. When it got dark, everyone gathered in the shade at the door, sitting on small benches and chatting. Feng Quan always got tired of being in "Xuan'er's arms" and shouted to "Xuan'er" "Shou" tells stories, and sometimes "Xuaner Shu" also asks Feng Quan some weird questions, such as where do people come from, how many hairs are there on a pig, and whether people will catch fire if they have a fever. Feng Quan just answered blindly, like people grow out of the ground... which made everyone laugh!
Once, when I was buying vegetables on a construction site, "Xuan'er Shu" was settling accounts with the vegetable seller there. Feng Quan was playing, and when the vegetable seller finished settling the accounts and left, Feng Quan ran to "Xuan'er Shu" and whispered in his ear: "Give me two more yuan." "Xuan'er Shu" took the abacus and pulled it. Sure enough, I gave him an extra two yuan, so I quickly got on my bike and chased him back. Everyone thought this was incredible. Feng Quan was only six or seven years old and had not yet gone to school! Everyone said it was no wonder that "Xuan'er Shu" liked him! "Xuan'er Shu" also said more than once that this child will not be white (ordinary) when he grows up.
Later, during a chat, "Xuan'er Shu" mentioned that there was a temple not far from his home, and the monks had all been assigned to work in the production team. Feng Quan's grandma was rather superstitious and felt that Feng Quan was not in good health. Since he "Xuan Er Shu" knew the monk, it would be better for Feng Quan to "recognize a master." I need to explain to the audience here that in the old society, there was a custom called monk jumping over the wall. In order for their children to avoid disasters and make a good living, some parents sent their children to temples, where they would be ordained and named according to the rules, and they would be married in the future. Before, going to the temple to go through the formalities of returning to secular life was as if the child had once become a monk, received protection from the Buddha, and later returned to secular life. "Xuan'er collected" When they came to work on the river, the production team's baskets were not ready yet, so they took some of them for use first, and then went back to transport them in the middle. "Xuan'er Shu" wanted to drive the carriage back to the village to carry the basket, so Grandma Fengquan entrusted "Xuan'er Shu" to take care of it. At that time, Feng Quan was extremely excited when he heard that he was going to their house with "Xuan'er Shu". "Xuan'er Shu" spread some wheat straw on the car. Feng Quan thought it was fun to play on it, so he fell asleep when he was tired.
Feng Quan woke up when he was approaching "Xuan'er's house". He called "Xuan'er Zai" and said he wanted to pee. "Xuan'er Zai" stopped the car, took Feng Quan out of the car, and asked him to urinate behind a dustpan willow on the roadside. This child has always been particular and would be shy and would not relieve himself in front of others. Here I need to explain the situation of that place. There is a ditch on one side of the road. In one place, two cement pipes were buried in the ditch and then filled with soil to form something like a small bridge for agricultural vehicles to go to the ground. On the other side of the ditch, there was a row of winnowing willows. Feng Quan went to relieve himself behind the willow branches. There was no ditch on the other side of the road because the other side was a depression. At this moment, something happened...
At that time, a strange thing happened in a certain company in Wujiang. A thug named Yang Baoshan led a group of people to seize public facilities such as post offices and shops. It was during the Ten Year Movement, and there were three groups and two armies. This matter was reviewed by the Military Control Commission The army was resolutely suppressed, and the gang was arrested one after another, but Yang Baoshan, the leader, slipped through the net, and when he escaped, he had a gun with him!
The Military Control Commission and local organizations issued arrest warrants. Militiamen with guns were stationed at each intersection to closely check passers-by. Troops were also stationed at fixed locations, waiting for orders at any time. At that time, the militiamen gathered not by blowing trumpets, but by the sound of gunshots. At any intersection where gunshots were fired, militiamen with guns would gather there.
At this time, Yang Baoshan was hiding in the green gauze tent in the depression on the side of "Xuan'er Collection". Because he had not eaten for three days, his eyes were blue with hunger. He suspected that there was something to eat in the "Xuan'er Collection" car, but he suffered from not eating for three days. , didn't have the strength to snatch it, so he frantically fired directly at "Xuan'er". "Xuaner Shu" was shot on the spot and passed out. Yang Baoshan took the opportunity to get into the car and rummage around. At this time, Feng Quan was frightened. After all, he was only six or seven years old and had no sense of strategy. He ran behind the dustpan willow. Yang Baoshan made two attempts but missed. He had received a moving target there. Shooting training! At this time, gunfire rang out all around. The warehouse panicked and grabbed the cloth bag containing dry food from "Xuan'er Shu", got into the green gauze tent and ran away.
Yang Baoshan's gunfire alerted the surrounding militiamen. When the militiamen arrived, Feng Quan was holding "Xuan'er Shu" and crying! At this time, "Xuan'er Zai" had woken up, and blood was flowing freely. "Xuan'er Zai" pressed the wound with his clothes with one hand, and held the hand of the brigade cadre with the other hand, and said tremblingly: "I can't survive!" This child belongs to the landlord, please coax him well, and be sure to send him back safely!..." The brigade cadre turned back to the front of the car, jumped on the car, and used a big whip to urge the animals with a "pop!" sound, as if they were crazy. The ground carried "Xuan'er Shu" and rushed to the county seat...
Later, we learned that when he was sent to the hospital, he was bleeding too much, so he went anyway. "Xuan'er Shu" died in the line of duty and was posthumously recognized as a martyr! Feng Quan was sent home by a military-controlled jeep that night. Feng Quan was frightened, leaving a psychological shadow, and often burst into tears in his dreams. Later, when I was in the university dormitory, I was often laughed at by my roommates for this. Of course, this is a story later.
It was said that Feng Quan failed to become a disciple, and it took him a few months to slowly come out of the panic. Of course, he did not completely get rid of the nightmares, but the number of nightmares gradually decreased. During that time, he could only fall asleep with his grandma hugging him every day.
Later, Feng Quan still went to the river to play every day. He used to go to the construction site to find "Xuan'er Collection", but now "Xuan'er Collection" is no longer there, and the river workers have completed their tasks and evacuated. Feng Quan has not changed this habit. However, it was this habit that allowed Xiao Fengquan to meet a person who influenced his life...
