They in the 70s

Chapter 16

Lu Zhan came out of He Zhi's house angrily, and didn't want to go back to his own house, so he turned around in a circle, dropped his bicycle and went to Zheng Yan's house.

Zheng Yan’s house is in the last row at the diagonal rear after crossing Central Avenue. His father’s official position was one level higher than that of Lu Yunting’s before he was quarantined for inspection, so the yard assigned to him was larger than that of Lu Zhansheng’s house, and the family’s facilities were also good. The most fashionable furniture and home appliances, and even old-fashioned gramophones, can be described as very foreign.

In addition to fighting and making troubles in his life, Lu Zhan also loved listening to music. When he was bored, he would go to Zheng Yan's house to listen to his phonograph.

At this moment, Lu Zhansheng got angry from He Zhi, and planned to listen to the music to calm down.

However, as soon as he got to the door of Zheng Yan's house, he heard a commotion inside. He didn't know what was going on, so he quickly walked two steps, pushed the door into the yard and then into the house, only to find that it was some aunts from the neighborhood committee.

Lu Zhansheng: ...

These old people are basically the most troublesome for Lu Zhan to meet in his life, because they, like Aunt Luo, have bothered him to be naughty and mischievous all day long, and whenever they see him, they have to be caught and educated, and that Education is not ordinary education, it is the kind of training and scolding in a hurry and then getting started.

They were all elders, and Lu Zhansheng couldn't fight back, so he could only suffer.

Seeing them in the room, Lu Zhansheng's first reaction was to sneak away, but one of the aunts was particularly agile, and she came over and grabbed him before he could leave.

"Little bastard! Why are you running away! What are you doing? It's so shameful! Ah!"

Gee.

This deafening and earth-shattering roar.

Lu Zhansheng would often sigh with emotion, if he hadn't gotten used to listening to it since he was a child, he would have cracked his head when he was yelling at it.

"Then what, Aunt Wang."

Lu Zhansheng lifted his smile. "Look at your voice, it's sonorous and powerful, full of energy. You can tell that your physical fitness is getting better and better. I'm really happy for you."

"You're so happy!"

Aunt Wang dragged him into the room, then pointed at his forehead and started cursing:

"You little bastard, you don't do any business every day, you only know that you are a smooth-talking stinky poor! Are you still happy for me? Do you have a heart? I think you want me to die sooner!"

"How can it be."

Lu Zhansheng tilted his head, put down Aunt Wang's hand pointing to his forehead, and continued to smile.

"Aunt Wang, I respect you the most. I am really happy to see that you are in such good health. I pray for you every day. I hope you will live a long and healthy life and live another 500 years. Oh no, 1000 is the best." Years, 1 years."

Hearing this, Zheng Yan couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing, what could it be in 1000 or 1 years, Lu Zhansheng's mouth is too bad.

Aunt Wang didn't understand this meaning for a while, but based on her usual understanding of Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan, she knew that these words must not be very pleasant, so her face turned green with anger at that time, and she turned her head and pointed at Zheng Yan. scold:

"Why are you laughing! You still have the face to smile, little bastard, you are not a good person!"

"Hey, Aunt Wang, you are being unreasonable. It's wrong to laugh."

Zheng Yan laughed a lot, and when she heard Aunt Wang's words, she immediately pretended to be innocent again.

"Aunt Wang, it's not that you don't know me. I'm born with such a cheerful personality, and I love to laugh. You can't kill my nature. Besides, it's because I live in the care and warmth of the organization every day. I feel happy and happy, that's why I laugh, if you make me cry every day, isn't that discrediting our organization?"

"Who is in the dark, you little rascal, stop messing with me!"

Aunt Wang was like this, and she started to speak in an angry manner, feeling like she was about to have a heart attack, so Lu Zhansheng gave Zheng Yan a wink: It's almost done, let's be next.

Zheng Yan understood and shrugged: All right.

Aunt Wang clutched her heart angrily and retreated out of breath, followed by Aunt Li who was filled with righteous indignation.

Aunt Li looked at Zheng Yan, then at Lu Zhansheng, almost gnashing her teeth in hatred. "Tell me about the two of you. No wonder your parents were arrested. It's not a good thing to raise such hooligans as the two of you. If the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked!"

"Hey, is there such a thing as raising children?"

Lu Zhansheng put on a sincere face: "Aunt Li, if you want to say it, it's no wonder that Xiaoshanzi of your family likes to do those sneaky things on weekdays."

"What did you say?"

Aunt Li immediately raised her eyes: "Since when has Xiaoshanzi of our family ever done something like stealing chickens and dogs? He is usually the most obedient and obedient. He is different from little hooligans like you!"

"That's really different." Lu Zhansheng said: "Our group of hooligans are all doing bad things in broad daylight. It is absolutely impossible to climb other people's walls in the middle of the night to steal chickens, and let people directly hold them in the chicken coop."

"That! That's what happened when you were young and ignorant, and that's not considered stealing! Besides!" Aunt Li pointed at Lu Zhansheng angrily: "It's impossible for a child like Xiaoshanzi in our family to steal things. It was you, a bad embryo, who instigated it!"

Oops, Lu Zhansheng always wants to laugh when he hears such words.

Probably because the reputation in this compound is really bad. Generally speaking, if anyone’s children do bad things, it must be either instigated by him or forced by him, even the grandson of grandma’s family in the backyard. When he was seven and a half years old and still peeing in the middle of the night, it could be said that he was bullied, saying that he frightened the sleep nerves and couldn't wake up when he held his urine at night.

Lu Zhansheng thought it was very funny, not to mention what kind of sleep nerve it was that frightened him, he hadn't met the kid in the backyard a few times at all, and he didn't even know what he looked like, his full name, or anything.

"Aunt Li, if you say that, then I don't understand." Zheng Yan pretended to be puzzled. "You said that your Xiaoshanzi was taught by Lu Zhansheng, and you also said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Then, Lu Zhansheng is the upper beam of your Xiaoshanzi?"

"Hey hey, Zheng Yan!"

Lu Zhansheng stared exaggeratedly almost immediately. "Don't talk nonsense, I don't admit it. That Xiaoshanzi has nothing to do with me. I was only five or six years old when he was born. How can I have that ability?"

"Oh, that's right, that's really not possible."

Zheng Yan nodded pretendingly, and then he and Lu Zhansheng looked at each other, and neither of them could hold back "hahahaha".

Aunt Li was so dizzy from their anger, she picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and threw it at them, but was stopped by Aunt Zhang.

Among the three old sisters, Aunt Zhang had a relatively high level of education and a relatively gentle personality. After pulling Aunt Li back, she looked back at Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan and sighed.

"You two boys, you are really smart, but you just can't use it in the right place. They are all good wood, but they are lacking in carving."

These words... were barely audible. Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan looked at each other, but they didn't open their mouths to make trouble.

"However, I'm looking for you today to give you a chance to improve." Aunt Zhang continued, "The latest instructions from the organization have found a good place for you young intellectuals who have no way out."

ideas?

Lu Zhansheng immediately asked, "What's a good place to go?"

"The great chairman taught us that educated young people should go to the countryside, receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, and use labor to transform themselves so that they can better join the revolutionary ranks."

"Go to the countryside?" Lu Zhansheng was a little puzzled. "What good jobs can there be in the countryside?"

"Huh? Xiao Lu, if you think that way, it means that your thinking is very problematic."

Aunt Zhang said: "The countryside is the birthplace of our revolutionary team. The poor and lower-middle peasants also have the most fundamental revolutionary ideas and ideological foundations. Furthermore, the countryside is vast and abundant. You just go there, but you have to go there to do something and create good jobs, that is the courage that young people should have."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng blinked his eyes a few times, but said nothing.

Zheng Yan asked: "Then according to the instructions above, when will we go?"

Aunt Zhang said: "Sign up now and go in batches."

Lu Zhansheng asked, "Where exactly are you going?"

Aunt Zhang said: "The Great Khingan Mountains Army, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Team, or some areas in the south will see the specific situation at that time, and the organization will make arrangements according to your own wishes."

Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.

"Okay, that's it for the new instructions issued by the organization."

Aunt Zhang said: "In principle, you should all go, that's all, you should think about it, we have to go to other houses to convey the mobilization, so we will leave first."

After sending them out, Lu Zhansheng hurriedly said, "He Zhi won't go, he has already assigned work."

"Oh, yes, deal with it." Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered after hearing this. "Look, I'm such an old fool that I forgot, that kid will officially work after the next year."

"Let me tell you." Aunt Wang said, "It's still He Zhi, that child is promising, and everyone is rushing to get it."

"Isn't it?" Aunt Li said: "He Zhi is so good, like these two little hooligans, he doesn't do his job every day, and he only deserves to go to the mountains and the countryside to jump in the queue."

"... "

Aunt San praised He Zhi while scolding them both, and walked away with her hands behind her back.

Zheng Yan and Lu Zhansheng pondered over Aunt Li's last words and remained silent for a long time.

After returning to Zheng Yan's house, Lu Zhansheng went to turn on the phonograph.

The singing of "Hawthorn Tree" floated out slowly, and the two sat on the sofa, each thinking, but their thoughts were roughly the same.

Lu Zhansheng is now 17 years old, but he will be full in less than two months, and Zheng Yan has just celebrated his birthday. Seeing that both of them are adults, they are facing the world of adults.

In fact, it's time to think about it and think about the future.

When a person grows up, he can't go on fooling around like this forever.

After the song "Hawthorn Tree" was sung, it was played again. Both of them sat there blankly, without changing their postures.

Lu Zhansheng asked: "Zheng Yan, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Zheng Yan shook his head and said honestly, "No."

"I have thought about it."

Lu Zhansheng paused and said, "I want to be a soldier."

"Oh~"

As soon as Zheng Yan heard Lu Zhansheng's words, he rolled his eyes at him. In this era, a good man should be a soldier. There is no boy who does not dream of being a soldier since he was a child. But with Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan, the reality is that Not allowed at all.

"If you want to say that, then I have thought about it." Zheng Yan said: "But if the issue between your father and my parents is not resolved, it is impossible to pass the political review."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng frowned. "Maybe they'll be released soon."

"You also know 'maybe'." Zheng Yan said, "I'm still thinking about maybe."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng could not refute this.

"Ugh."

Zheng Yan sighed in a rare way, suddenly remembered something, turned to Lu Zhansheng and asked, "By the way, when did He Zhi get the work and where did he get it?"

"Two days ago."

The corner of Lu Zhansheng's mouth twitched lightly, slightly unhappy. "Shougang."

"Really?" Zheng Yan was a little surprised. "So awesome."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng twitched the corner of his mouth lightly again, and said nothing. After all, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it:

That's right, it's so awesome. Under the current environment where all the staff are unemployed, He Zhi can not only be assigned a job, but also be assigned the best unit. This is probably something he can't compare to as a Lu Zhan student.

After a while, Zheng Yan said again with great regret: "It's true, people compare themselves to others, it's so annoying."

"... "

The corners of Lu Zhansheng's mouth drooped completely.
