Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

Tang Zhiqiang's departure was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Tang Shouli, who had come back to beat his child in anger, heard about this unexpectedly and was silent for a long time. In the end, he shut himself up in silence and didn't even eat.

Even though his relationship with his eldest son was now tense, he never thought about sending his eldest son to the countryside to become an educated youth.

Not to mention going to such a far and difficult place.

Zhou Lingling had made a fuss about sending her son away before. He originally thought of coaxing his wife for the time being. After a while, he would not be so angry, and then he would ask someone to send his eldest son to a nearby countryside.

People are neither too close nor too far away.

As long as there were no conflicts at home, he didn't have to worry too much about his son.

But who knew that this kid was so angry that he went to the countryside early out of anger when he said he was going to the countryside.

Especially when Tang Shouli came back, he heard that his eldest son had transferred the favor promised by the Educated Youth Office to his two younger sons.

Let the younger sons go to the Educated Youth Office for help if they have anything to do in the future.

I also knew that this move was to guard against him and Zhou Lingling.

The relationship between their father and son has reached this point, and there is no chance or room for relaxation.

He was just a small section chief of a state-owned factory. If he hadn't left, he could have asked someone to help him move to the countryside.

But now that people have been deployed on the road, no matter how long their hands are, they can't reach that far.

I thought that the educated youths who had gone to the countryside in the past few years had sent back news one after another that they had gotten married and had children there and had taken root.

Tang Shouli was a little flustered.

He simply couldn't accept that his eldest son would take root in the northwest, marry a wife and have children there and stay rooted for the rest of his life.

Even if their father and son don't have a good relationship now, he can't just watch that bastard ruin his life because of his anger...

No one knows where Tang Shouli went alone after he figured it out.

All I know is that he carried a bunch of things, how he carried them there, and how he finally carried them back.

It can be seen that what he asked for was not achieved.

It was also after this that as time went by in the family building of the machinery factory, the name Tang Zhiqiang was mentioned less and less.

Until it was gradually lost in the memories of the neighbors except the Tang family.

Shen Jin heard about this a few years later.

At that time, Tang Zhiyang stood in front of her, young but with a face full of sorrow.

He said that she looked like an old friend of his. He didn't mean anything else, he just felt uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to talk to.

While talking, Shen Jin could tell that Tang Zhiyang had been sizing her up.

It was as if she was holding on to her last glimmer of hope, hoping that she would still be the ghost stepmother who would rather die for their own good.

As for the words Shen Jin made up on the spur of the moment to get rid of them, saying that she would offend Heaven and be struck by lightning for helping them recover their memories of their previous life... They actually believed such lies.

Even after so many years, you can still hear the meaning in Tang Zhiyang's words.

They have always missed the ugly mother in their previous life who treated their stepsons heartily.

And I will miss it forever.

Moved?

Regarding this, it can be said that Shen Jin was not moved at all.

In her opinion, isn't this the way it should be?

This is what the brothers of the Tang family owed to the original person in their previous life, so remembering him for the rest of his life can only be said to be due, and it is not even compensation.

Shen Jin just sneered in his heart and did not speak.

She dutifully acted as a stranger who had never met Tang Zhiyang in front of Tang Zhiyang.

And Tang Zhiyang probably really couldn't find anyone to talk to, so even when he was facing Shen Jin, who was a complete stranger, he could still look at his ugly mother in his previous life through Shen Jin, and then, he couldn't help but show his childish look. of grievance.

He said that his eldest brother had not been heard from since he took the initiative to go to the countryside.

Even though his father Tang Shouli has been trying to get in touch with him, his eldest brother Tang Zhiqiang has never replied to a letter or made a phone call.

It was as if the world had evaporated and such a person had disappeared from the world for no apparent reason.

As for those of them who were relatives, they gradually became numb from anxiety and worry at the beginning. For a while, he couldn't even remember what his elder brother looked like.

Not to mention those things he used to complain and blame, he had long since lost the energy to blame someone who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Shen Jin had no expression on his face at that time, as if he was listening to a stranger's thoughts.

It seems to have nothing to do with her.

But in her heart, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as "turning up huge waves".

If she hadn't met Tang Zhiyang and learned that Tang Zhiqiang had already taken the initiative to go to the countryside, going to such a distant place, she would never have imagined that one day Tang Zhiqiang would become an educated youth.

Shen Jin: "So have you found the whereabouts of your brother now?"

Like a kind passerby, she reminded Tang Zhiyang: "Educated youths from all over the country are returning to the city one after another."

"Your brother might be on his way back to the city too, so... don't worry too much."

As soon as he said the dry consolation, Tang Zhiyang burst into tears.

It's not that he's worried about his elder brother crying, but...

Tang Zhiyang: "You are really not my mother anymore. My mother will never be able to comfort me so gently in this life. She only knows how to speak harsh words and hurt my heart."

"You may sound bad, but in fact, everything you do is for our benefit. It's completely different from what you are doing now!"

"My mother is really gone. She didn't leave any trace behind. She was completely destroyed! My mother!"

Shen Jin: "..."

Anyway, Shen Jin didn't know how to deal with Tang Zhiyang's sudden collapse at that time, so he simply stopped talking and kept his mouth shut.

But in Tang Zhiyang's eyes, it was as if Shen Jin had frightened him, a stranger.

In order not to scare people away, he could only hold back his grief and continue to talk about the things he had blocked in his heart.

He said that in fact, he had recently heard some news about his brother from the educated youth who returned to the city.

The educated youth who told him the news also came back from the Northwest.

He told him that there was an educated youth over there named Tang Zhiqiang, who had gone to the countryside a few years ago, but that educated youth had a bad life. One time, he fell off the roof while he was helping him dry things on the roof without holding his feet.

The leg was broken, and the medical conditions there were not good, and the village did not have the conditions to send the person to a regular hospital in time. From then on, the person became lame.

The village was miserable. Tang Zhiqiang had not been able to earn much food since he became lame, and he accepted his fate after suffering a few illnesses.

Married the daughter of a local fellow.

Marriage actually doesn't count. Strictly speaking, it should be marriage.

Although he has a bad reputation, at least he has someone to take care of him if he is not in good health or is thirsty or hungry.

People can hold on.

But because he was married into a wife, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back when the educated youth returned to the city. He could not be a burden to the local fellows when the situation was bad.

Survive by relying on others.

When things got better, he would turn his back on others and treat them as burdens. Even if Tang Zhiqiang had the intention, he would be powerless.

The strong dragon can't overpower the local snake, not to mention that he is a cripple and doesn't even have anyone to help him.

He just wanted to go back to the city, but as long as the local people didn't let him go, he wouldn't be able to come back.

In Tang Zhiyang's words, it means that after learning such news, it is actually better to have no news.

So now he is continuing to look for the educated youth who came back from the northwest, and wants to find out more about whether this Tang Zhiqiang is his brother Tang Zhiqiang.

Actually...mostly that's it.

After all, how could there be two educated youths named Tang Zhiqiang in one place? They were both from their hometown.

It's just that Tang Zhiyang doesn't want to face reality. He doesn't want to accept that his eldest brother, who is so strong and self-respecting, will one day be like this.

He became a cripple, a son-in-law who stepped in and was later detained in the northwest with no hope of returning to the city...
