The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

When Li Chengye walked out the door, he saw Hu Liren and Uncle Zhang waiting anxiously not far away. He laughed and walked over with great strides.Under the worried eyes of several people, he said softly, "It's all right."

Hu Liren's worried expression immediately turned into joy, he patted his shoulder hard, and said happily: "I knew you would be fine, you are such a smart and capable person, how can you kill him so easily Yes!"

"What do you mean you can't die? With us two old men around, you can make something happen to you, a young man." Uncle Zhang patted Hu Liren twice, blaming him for talking nonsense, and then patted Li Chengye's chest with a smile Guaranteed up.

Uncle Zhou was much more prudent, and said to Li Chengye earnestly, "It's good that nothing happened this time, but we must pay attention to it in the future, this matter is not that simple!"

Li Chengye almost had an accident today, and he was very surprised, but it was rare that so many people defended him, so he would naturally answer their words one by one.

"Of course I'll be fine." To Hu Liren.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. You are really strong and healthy. I will learn more from you in the future." To Uncle Zhang.

"I see, this is what I already know how to do, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." To Uncle Zhou.

The three of them were very satisfied with Li Chengye's answer, Uncle Zhou looked at the time, "Okay, it's getting late, old man Zhang and I have to go to class, so I won't waste time with you here, you should go back first, The news of this meeting may have reached your mother's ears, you go back and talk to her, don't let her worry too much."

Uncle Zhang also nodded quickly. He just saw a few women in the crowd who had been closer to Li's mother recently, so someone must have told Li's mother at Li Chengye's house that Li Chengye had an accident.Li's mother is not young at this age, and there are two children at home, so nothing should happen to her.

"Okay, I'll go back right away." Hearing what he said, Li Chengye also became worried, and couldn't care less about talking to them, so Li Chengye was anxious to go home.

"Hey, Brother Li, wait for me. I'll go with you. I just happened to go over to prove to you, and I can help you with anything." Seeing that Li Chengye was about to leave, Hu Liren hurried over to follow.

After a while, the shadows of the two disappeared outside the gate of the steel factory.

Uncle Zhou smiled helplessly, "Young people today!"

At this time, the situation of Li's family was similar to Uncle Zhou's guess. Several people who often played with Li's mother all ran to Li's house. They were all at the gate of the steel factory just now, so they naturally saw the whole process clearly.A group of people started chattering, scaring Li's mother so much that she almost fainted when she heard that people from the Revolutionary Committee came and almost took Li Chengye away.It was only later that she heard in a daze that the secretary of the county party committee had also come and helped save her son before she recovered.

But she was still very worried, she couldn't stay at home, and she was even more impatient to hear these women gossip, so she kicked them all out, and then told the two young ones not to run around in the house, Afterwards, they locked the house and prepared to go to the steel factory to find Li Chengye.

Li Chengye was walking on the street, not in the mood to speak at all, and Hu Liren on the side also kept his mouth shut in a very considerate manner. The two of them walked quickly, and they arrived at the alley where Li Chengye's house was located, and were about to turn in. , a gray figure crashed into Li Chengye's arms.

"Mother." With sharp eyes, Li Chengye saw clearly that the person in front of him was his mother, and quickly withdrew the hand that was about to be pushed out, causing someone to bump into his arms, and even supported her by the shoulder.

"Son, are you okay?" Mother Li ran to the steel factory because she was too anxious. When she found someone around the corner, it was too late to react, so she had to bump into him. She didn't expect her to bump into someone It turned out to be the son he had been thinking about.He quickly touched Li Chengye's body with his hands, and stared at Li Chengye with good eyes, fearing that his body would be injured.

"Mom, I have nothing. If you don't believe me, ask Hu Liren." Li Chengye quickly grabbed Mother Li's hand to stop her from messing around. After all, it was outside. It's time to undress him.

"Auntie, Brother Li is fine, don't worry." Hu Liren secretly smiled, but he still quickly explained to Li Chengye under Li Chengye's stare.

It's a pity that Mother Li couldn't hear what they said at this meeting. Only when she really saw it could she be sure that her son was fine.

Li Chengye really had no choice but to hold her in his arms and comforted her: "Mom, I really have nothing to do, let's go back and talk about it first? You can check carefully when you get home. Easy to talk about."

The arms were controlled by her son, and Li's mother had no choice but to reluctantly agree: "When you go back, take off your clothes and give me a good check."

Li Chengye had no choice but to surrender, and promised: "All right, all right, I will listen to you when I go back, and do whatever you say."

After speaking, Li Chengye took Li's mother to Li's house, while Hu Liren snickered behind him, walking slowly.

When Hu Liren arrived at Li's house, Li's mother had checked Li Chengye's entire body, and confirmed that he hadn't had any new wounds other than those from when he was a soldier. put it down.

Hu Liren didn't enter the house to disturb Li's mother and Li Chengye's conversation. He was just playing in the yard. Two children were playing marbles in the yard. He was very good at playing and joined in.

In the main room, Li Chengye had already told the whole story, and Li's mother was also fluctuating. After Li Chengye finished talking about Xie Jinrong's arrangement in the factory, Li's mother couldn't help but said: "It's really cheap for him. As for him, your steel factory should directly take back his job, how can there be a replacement!"

Li Chengye knew that she was not such a mean person, but because this matter involved him, he paid special attention to it, so he patiently explained: "Although Xie Jinrong is a little unreasonable, but this matter was still taken advantage of by others." Besides, Xie's parents are quite pitiful, just such a son, who is still a college student, and now he is in such a situation, the factory can't be too unreasonable."

Li's mother heard the words "being used by others" with sharp ears, and suddenly became nervous, "What's going on, you mean that someone deliberately harmed you this time, right, please tell me what happened What's the matter, who can't see you so well?"

Li Chengye didn't intend to tell Li's mother about Gao Changxue and Hu Xiuqin, but he didn't expect to say this out of the mouth, so it's not easy to explain, he didn't say anything for a while.

"What's going on, you're telling me, how long have you been working in the steel factory, why is someone trying to harm you, is it someone you offended at work recently, or someone we knew before, you're telling me !" At this moment, Mother Li was really anxious, and a long paragraph came out all at once.

"Mother, don't worry, just listen to me and tell you slowly." Li Chengye had no choice but to tell the truth about this matter.

"I'm just guessing about this. I haven't offended anyone at work recently, nor have I violated anyone's interests. But I met two people a few days ago."

Mother Li immediately asked, "Who?"

Li Chengye sighed deeply, "Hu Xiuqin and her current husband Gao Changxue."

Mother Li seemed to be taken aback by these two names, "Why are these two people here? Aren't they in the next county? They should just pass by?" Mother Li asked Li Chengye uncertainly.

Li Chengye shook his head affirmatively, "They should have moved here. Hu Xiuqin's current husband should be working in the county government, and Hu Xiuqin didn't know that I was still alive before, let alone that I came back professionally."

"It's a crime, it's a crime." Mother Li slumped on the chair and beat her knee with her fist bitterly.

"Mother." Li Chengye quickly stretched out his hand to stop her.

Mother Li didn't struggle either, she just stared blankly at her son, and after a while she asked hesitantly, "Son, do you still want her back?"

Li Chengye only thought this question was really funny, and said helplessly: "Mother, how is this possible, we've already finished it, let alone it doesn't matter, how could I want her back."

Mother Li suddenly grabbed Li Chengye's hand, and asked eagerly, "What about Hu Xiuqin? Does she still miss you and want to come back to you?" Mother Li knew that her ex-daughter-in-law still had feelings for her son. Yes, otherwise, when she suddenly married someone, Li's mother would not be so unacceptable, as if she had misjudged the person.

This is even more ridiculous. Li Chengye didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Mother, Hu Xiuqin has remarried now, and is pregnant with his current husband's child, who is about to give birth in five or six months. She How could you still want to come back?"

Mother Li didn't think so, she said with a confident face: "You still have two sons, besides, my son is a good-looking talent, how can it be compared with those other people."

In the eyes of parents, it must be that only their own children are the best, and Mother Li is such a parent.

"Mother, don't think about it. It's impossible for us. If you still want to live a clean life, don't provoke her."

"Son, tell me the truth, is it because you can't let go of Hu Xiuqin that you don't want to marry again? If it's because of her, I'll go all out to bring her back." Mother Li asked carefully.

Li Chengye was about to swear to the sky at this meeting, and said firmly: "Mom, I don't want to marry again because I don't think marriage is necessary. I want to focus on my career now. Besides, I have two children. They They are all so good, I don’t need another person to disturb our life at all. What if it is a person with bad character? It’s not good for you, and it’s not good for my two sons. You, don’t mess around in the future After I send Xiaoxi and Xiaobei to school next year, I'm thinking of a way to see if I can get people to the streets to do something to work, and find something for you to do."

This person, it's easy to think too much after a long time, Li Chengye thinks it's better to get Li's mother to the street office, just to radiate some light and heat.

Li's mother was also a little unhappy when her son said that she was thinking about it, "I have a lot of things every day, so I don't think about it, it's not you..., oh, forget it, I won't care about it in the future, if you care too much I’m not happy, I’m really free.”

Seeing that Li's mother seemed to be really angry, Li Chengye couldn't just ignore it, so he could only comfort him: "Mom, I'm not saying you take too much care, I just think our family is fine now, there's really no need to talk about it anymore. With one more person, many daughter-in-laws and mother-in-laws can't get along. My family is in such a situation, then there will be more conflicts, and you may be even more tired."

Mother Li felt that her son's words were very considerate, and the breath in her heart dissipated.Thinking of what his son said before that someone was going to kill him, he asked anxiously: "Aren't you saying that someone is going to kill you? Why are you talking about Hu Xiuqin again? Quickly tell me who is going to kill you."

Li Chengye hesitated and said, "I guess it should be Hu Xiuqin's husband, Gao Changxue."

"What? What does this have to do with him? Why did you offend him?" Mother Li was surprised.

Li Chengye narrated the events of that day in detail, focusing on Hu Xiuqin's reaction at that time, and Gao Changxue's eyes at that time, it was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, making people feel dangerous, this person must not be that simple, it seems I need someone to check it out.It just so happened that Gao Changxue was working in the county government right now, so Secretary Gao could help him find out.

Mother Li still couldn't believe it, "Are you sure it's him? Could it be that you misunderstood, and there are other people who are against you?" Isn't it his wife's ex-husband? What kind of enemy can this be? It's not that Hu Xiuqin still has ambiguity with his son, it doesn't matter anymore.

Li Chengye smiled: "Mother, how could your son offend so many people, don't worry, I will ask someone to check for me, and the results will be available soon."

Mother Li nodded, "Okay, you have to take this matter to heart, and quickly find out whoever is going to harm you, lest he keep hiding and harming you."

"Got it, got it, mother, have you cooked yet? It's so late, let's eat quickly." Li Chengye didn't want to continue talking about these things with Li's mother. He looked at the time and urged her to cook. .

"It's done, it's done. The two children said that they want to eat fried rice with eggs tomorrow, so I'll cook some more rice. It's just enough for you and Hu Liren to eat. You go out and ask them to come in. I'll heat up the food and eat it." After speaking, Mother Li stood up and went to the kitchen. She had already prepared all the meals and was about to eat when those people came to the door. The dishes must be cold by now.

Li Chengye agreed, and after seeing Li's mother go in, he also went to the yard. As soon as he went out, he saw Hu Liren just like a child, having fun with two children who were less than six years old, his clothes were covered with mud.

"Are you still young?"

"Hey, I'm young at heart." Hu Liren didn't care about Li Chengye's ridicule at all, and continued to play, "Hey, it's my turn, it's my turn."

"Father." It's a pity that the two children couldn't care less about playing with him now, they all ran over and hugged Li Chengye's leg, rubbing each other affectionately.

"Hey, hurry up and wash your hands in the house, and eat right away." He bent down and touched the heads of the two children one by one, and then patted the little buttocks. The faces of the two children were really dirty.

"Got it." The two children obediently took a peek at the black handprints on Li Chengye's pants, stuck out their tongues, and ran into the house quickly, fearing that their father would find out what they had done.

"It's boring." Hu Liren wanted to play for a while, but his little friend ran away. He had no choice but to stand up and patted his hands, trying to pat off the dust on his hands.

"Hey, your pants." He walked to Li Chengye's side, saw the palm print on his pants at a glance, and immediately laughed.

Li Chengye had already found out, so he just gave him a blank look.

"Come on, let's go in and eat."

"Hey, wait a minute. I still have news to tell you." Seeing that Li Chengye turned his head to go back to the house, Hu Liren quickly stopped him.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengye frowned and stopped.

"Didn't we ask the people from the police station to come over today?"

"That's right, but I don't seem to have seen anyone." Li Chengye also felt a little strange. The police station was not far from their factory, so they should have come here long ago, but he didn't see anyone coming until the incident was over.

"Someone did come from the police station, but there was only one person, who came in plain clothes. But he didn't come to help, but to watch the fun."

"Don't be foolish, tell me carefully what's going on?" Li Chengye frowned impatiently.

"Hey, let me tell you, you have a better attitude!" Hu Liren was a little dissatisfied.

Li Chengye glared at him, Hu Liren immediately faltered, and said aggrievedly: "Okay, just say it carefully."

"I happen to know the person who came here today, and he has a pretty good relationship with me. I heard from him that someone had approved a relationship with them in advance. If someone from the steel factory came to find them today, they must not go there."

"Did he say who contacted them in advance?" Li Chengye felt that this was a breakthrough.

"Have."

"Who exactly is it?" Li Chengye admitted that he wanted to hit someone, and the one he wanted to hit was the naughty face in front of him.

"The person we don't know seems to be a call from the county government office. What's the name? I can't remember it for a while." Hu Liren patted his head, trying to recall the name but couldn't think of it. Woke up.

"Gao Changxue!" A name slowly spit out from Li Chengye's mouth.

"By the way, that's the name. Gao Changxue, Brother Li, do you really know this person?" Hu Liren immediately confirmed happily that there was nothing wrong with the name.
