godfather

Meng Jianmin and Ma Baochun all ran out of their homes to look for their sons. They were so anxious that even Meng Xiaojing ran out to look for them.

In the family compound, everyone heard that the police began to settle accounts after autumn, arresting people in the city, and also heard about Beijing.Anyone who had a boy in the family went crazy to look for him outside.The restless boys in the growth stage may not understand the anxiety and worry of the elderly couple at home when they run around each other with righteous indignation, passion and enthusiasm outside, and they may not understand the mothers on the streets of Beijing back then. The moment when the whole city was crying, that heart-piercing grief.

Later, Shaotang still drove Kunzi and her boyfriend Xiaowen to the coach station in the suburbs, where there was no police to check the photos for verification.Only Shaotang has the courage to do such a thing, he is not afraid of the local police.

Shaotang Xiaobei watched the two of them buy tickets and board the long-distance bus, and return to the small county to avoid the limelight.

The little boss's usual cocky look was nowhere to be found, his expression was quiet and honest, he nodded vigorously to Shaotang and Meng Xiaobei, with a solemn expression on his face, but he couldn't say words of gratitude.

Meng Xiaobei asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiaowen said: "Go back to the county seat, my home."

Meng Xiaobei asked: "Can your family accept him?"

The boy looked young, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, but he had a stubborn idea: "When the wind and waves come over, I will kneel down to my grandfather and father and beg them. If he dares to change his mind and find another little bitch to fool around with, I can still dump him; he was caught by the police and left homeless... At this time, I can’t just dump him and leave him, I will take him with me wherever I go.”

When Meng Xiaobei heard this, he was immediately moved.

Xiaowen walks with a limp on one foot. He was too brave when he jumped off the building to escape just now.At that time, the ankle poked the ground, and the pain made me cry.

Before leaving, Meng Xiaobei hugged the boy vigorously.We met by chance, and we may not have a chance to see each other again in this life. I wish those two people a safe journey and take care.He bought bread, ham, and bottled water at the station, stuffed them in his schoolbag, and gave the whole schoolbag to others.

Xiaowen smiled faintly, hooked his hands, and winked secretly: "Hey, your man is so handsome, his skills are so cool, soldiers are different, if I knew I would find a man who was a soldier, see That useless thing next to me!"

Just as Xiaowen turned around, the little boss blew up behind him: "Who are you saying is useless?!"

Xiaowen passed the whites of the other's eyes: "I'm talking about you."

Kunzi said sadly and angrily: "Damn it, I'm out of luck, you're starting to despise me and think I'm not pleasing to the eye..."

A pair of friends in distress, quarreling with each other, fighting with each other, squeezed onto the coach with their bags, their figures slowly submerged in the crowd in the car.The mother-in-law Meng Xiaobei stretched her neck to look at it for a long time, waved her hands vigorously, and then walked away in peace.

Shaotang silently watched Xiaobei bid farewell to the young couple from behind. Just now, he was full of anger and annoyance, complaining about his son, and even wanting to beat Xiaobei up. can be said.Xiaobei is a person who is pure and upright in his flesh and blood, treats people with affection and righteousness, and has a kind of literary and artistic sentiment.This is the affectionate boy he likes.

There were rumors in Xi'an that military vehicles were going into the city, but in fact, no tanks were seen in the end.After the incident, the tone was set, and the police arrested about 20 opinion leaders in the city, as well as the gangsters who participated in the riots.At that time, it was not called arrest or sentencing, but called "acceptance review".Many of those detained in the detention center were college students.A student from the university next door was arrested and released after several months of detention. He lost his student status and was sent back to his hometown.

For Meng Jianmin and his parents who were senior high school candidates, what worried them most at the time was whether the college entrance examination would be on schedule!

Meng Xiaobei returned to the family compound and saw his father running back and forth looking for him in the courtyard.Meng Jianmin's eyes were red, but he didn't have a stick in his hand. He went up to slap his son on the head.His raised arm stopped in mid-air, after all, he was still unwilling to beat him down, it hurt his own flesh from beating his son.Meng Jianmin hugged his already tall son into his arms, and pinched Meng Xiaobei's back muscles fiercely, causing Meng Xiaobei to grin his teeth, "Oh, don't pinch, Dad, I was wrong..."

With his son in his arms, Meng Jianmin hurried home, stayed behind closed doors, did not stay outside, and tried not to fool around with his neighbors, being an honest person and not talking about state affairs.These days, the wind has been tense and there is chaos everywhere. Parents are so worried about the safety of their children!

Meng Jianmin said, Meng Xiaobei, do you know what I am most afraid of?

Whatever your father is most afraid of, you will come here. You are really my son and really filial to me! !

Meng Xiaojing interjected: "Meng Xiaobei, my dad ran several blocks just now to find you, and he coughed, and he must be coughing up blood in his lungs. You should be more careful when you do things in the future!... Heartless , Worry about other people's affairs, and make my father angry."

Meng Xiaojing couldn't understand what Meng Xiaobei was thinking about all day long. What is more important than going to Beijing to get a better career? The parade is none of your business?

Meng Xiaobei returned to his obedient and honest appearance: "Dad, I really didn't go out to make trouble, and I didn't go to the square today, you misunderstood."

Meng Jianmin opened his wrinkled eyes and said, "Meng Xiaobei, what is your father's biggest unfulfilled wish in his life?"

Meng Xiaobei was taken aback: "...Oh, I know."

Meng Jianmin: "You also know how your father was delayed."

Meng Xiaobei: "..."

Meng Jianmin smiled bitterly, and someone who has experienced it thoroughly said: "I tell you two, 20 years ago, how many young people's lives were ruined like that. The current generation of college students has never suffered, and has never experienced revolutionary violence, going to the mountains and going to the countryside. Hundreds of thousands of college students were sent to the frontiers...You children, too passionate and naive, don't know how to cherish...Political struggle? Political struggle is something that ordinary people can afford? The feudal dynasty of China has changed for thousands of years. The ups and downs, how did it all come about? People with ability, background, and great talent stand on the stage, and they are the winners and losers; the old Kan'er with no background and family background also follows blindly, just to be a pawn for others cannon fodder!"

"You see, your dad only complains at home, I don't go out to make trouble. Is it because I am afraid of trouble? No, I pulled up a banner on Mao Zedong Square more than 20 years ago to accept Chairman Mao's review. Our slogan at that time was '' Overthrow the Confucian family shop, overthrow the capitalist roaders, and sweep away all monsters and monsters', 'I'm a hero, I'm a hero, I'm a reactionary, I'm a bastard'! If you do this, your father is really your ancestor."

Meng Xiaobei bowed his head embarrassedly.

Meng Jianmin said: "I have achieved nothing in my life, and you can't achieve nothing. Meng Xiaobei, you are more talented than your father, you are promising, you have already been admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, and you are short of the last exam of the college entrance examination! Just this trembling, don't give me a slap." Don’t make mistakes, will you succeed? As long as you can steadily pass the college entrance examination, I will kneel down for you!!”

Meng Jianmin made a gesture to kneel down to Meng Xiaobei beside the bed.Meng Xiaobei stood up suddenly, and immediately shy: "Dad, please don't."

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"I really didn't do anything, and I didn't make any mistakes in the line and stand. I am a red and expert revolutionary stand, a new generation of tenacious and vigorous flowers of the motherland, don't worry, Dad."

Meng Jianmin was so angry that he sneered and rubbed his eldest son's head: "I still expect you to become a great artist in the future, but you haven't become a 'family' yet, don't let your parents hope to climb all the way to the peak, and then you Throw our couple from the sky, snap, and throw them down!"

Meng Xiaobei bowed his head guiltily: "No, no."

Later, Shaotang came to walk away and explained a lot, what Xiaobei was going to do at that time.The police came here to arrest them, and Meng Xiaobei helped the pair of cousins ​​in the video room on the street escape and put them on a long-distance bus.

Meng Jianmin was stunned, and looked at Xiaobei, looking at his son with admiration.

At that time, various gossips said that some southern officials and well-known social figures helped people on the wanted list escape to Hong Kong and escape arrest.

Meng Jianmin gave Meng Xiaobei a thumbs up: "My son is kind and loyal. He does this like a man."

...Meng Jianmin personally went to the school to report on the parent meeting of the two sons throughout the third year of high school.Sometimes the parents of the two classes crashed in time, so he would listen to Meng Xiaobei for half an hour, and Meng Xiaojing for another half hour, and then ask the teacher for private advice after the meeting.

After June, the parents went to the school to guard the school to inquire about the policy, for fear that the college entrance examination would be cancelled, or the number of admissions would be greatly reduced.

Many of these parents are "old three" and have no chance to go to college.

In the days before the exam, the situation in the school was reversed, which was very funny.The students have all gone home to review. As for whether they are steadfast in self-study or impatient and panic-stricken, they don't know. Instead, the parents of the compound gathered together, sat in the classroom, drank tea and chatted for a while, chattering and waiting anxiously. News from above.

The head principal ran out to make a phone call, then re-entered the classroom.Their principal took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and nodded to the parents: "Don't worry, go back and go back, everything will be as usual for the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow, and the Education Bureau said there is no change."

Meng Jianmin raised his hand and asked, "Can the universities in Beijing still admit students? They also accept our students from other places, won't our places be blocked?"

The principal waved his hand: "Our students in Xi'an are still safe and will not be affected much. The review will also torment the local Beijing... We are so worried!"

All the parents present took a long breath, some applauded, some said go home and make supper for the children and wash their feet!Poor parents in the world.

This year's college entrance examination is on schedule, and the competition is fierce. It can even be said that it is one of the few college entrance examinations with the lowest pass rate in more than ten years. Thousands of troops rushed to the single-plank bridge, and countless ponies were squeezed off the bridge and folded in the river ditch.

For Meng Xiaobei, for every student who took the college entrance examination that year, it was a year full of ups and downs and twists and waves, and it was an unforgettable memory in life.In the end, of the 260 million candidates across the country, only 40 were admitted by colleges and universities, and the admission rate was about 15%.

In August, the sun is like fire, and the midsummer in the ancient city is hot and scorching.On the eve of the two brothers' birthdays, Meng Xiaobei and Meng Xiaojing received a call from Beijing at the same time, and then, they received the admission notices almost at the same time.

In the end, Meng Xiaobei scored more than [-] points in the test.

He yelled at Qi Liang on the phone, "[-] is enough for me to take the test, I performed super-level! You are waiting for me in Beijing, and I, Nan Batian, is back!!!!"

Meng Xiaojing scored seven or eight points more than Xiaobei in the test, and the two brothers even scored in the same test.The notice that Meng Xiaojing received looked like an exquisite invitation from the Drama Theatre, which said the Department of Chinese Opera Performance.

Xiaobei and his school were even more considerate. The admission notice was a Chinese painting of plum blossoms on broken gold paper, which was handwritten by several senior professors from the Painting and Calligraphy Department.Open the folded letter paper, and his name is written on it, every word is so handsome that he wants to cry...****** In the autumn of Beijing, clumps of ginkgo dyed the sides of the street into a rich golden color, and his eyes are full of Harvest colors.Meng Xiaobei, carrying his portfolio and luggage, returned to the city where he had been away for two years, embracing the second hometown that belonged to him and Shaotang.

Most of the freshmen who entered the university that year, as a generation of young people with free, romantic and uninhibited souls, experienced the most severe military training in the dynasty.The students of Peking University were directly pulled into the ravine for a whole year of training, writing inspections, writing reflections and summaries, a deep understanding of the line and loyalty, and lessons learned from the incident. The four-year system was artificially stretched into a five-year system; Before the souls of this group of students are released, they cannot be released into society.After Meng Xiaobei came to Beijing, he didn't have much chance to reunite with his godfather and family.In their Academy of Fine Arts, the military training was also extended to six weeks, and all the freshmen were taken to an artillery base in Pinggu Mountain.

In comparison, Meng Xiaojing and his school paid better and had the best life.Their military training was loose, and the training location did not even step outside the urban area of ​​Beijing, so they found a military compound in Haidian.A group of handsome men and beautiful women, each wearing a camouflage uniform, with delicate faces, standing in line on the playground every day, shouting slogans, kicking forward, with a layer of foundation sunscreen or something stuck under their sweat.

During Meng Xiaobei's one and a half months of military training, he didn't put sunscreen on his face, he never used it.Their military training was really tough, and they were dark and thin all over.

Freshmen are trained as soon as they enter school, and boys in the same class get to know each other and become acquainted with each other in the queue and on the bunk in the barracks.A class of boys occupies a barracks of more than 30 square meters. There are two rows of wooden boards, which are as hard as iron torture beds.Everyone brought quilts and washbasins and washbasins, and the washbasins were lined up against the wall.

Meng Xiaobei was wearing a camouflage cap askew, his small eyes were squinted and he was handsome and treacherous, and his hands and feet were nimble.The boy who slept on his left hand cut off the artist's ponytail, straightened it into a square size, wore square-frame glasses, and nodded to him: "Meng Xiaobei is you? I have seen your name on the admission list."

Meng Xiaobei said modestly: "Where is it, brothers, let's make a deal! What's your name?"

The boy with glasses grinned sincerely, there was a crack in the middle of the die, which leaked air, and he shook hands with him: "We share the same room in the dormitory, my name is Wang Yuhui."

Meng Xiaobei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, the name Xiaoye seems familiar to me?He said sincerely: "You are Wang Yuhui, I have admired you for a long time!"

Wang Yuhui said naively: "Looking at me for a long time? Don't dare to be, dare not be!"

The boy on the right of Meng Xiaobei is called Lin Shuo, and he looks mature and prudent.The three of them then formed a trio who wrote poems, played cards and sang military songs, mixing together.

The recruits tidied up the housework, and all the boys in a sleeper row knelt on the wooden bunks, sticking out their buttocks, and practiced folding the quilts, from the time they finished the meal until they washed and turned off the lights.

Meng Xiaobei occasionally got into a showy stomach, quietly peeking at the raised buttocks of the boys in his class from behind, looking at them one by one, criticizing them secretly, some are round, some are square, some are flat and some are upturned.Most of the boys don’t exercise, they are thin, and the trousers are loose when they wear camouflage pants, and the muscles of the buttocks and thighs can’t support the pants at all; or they are puffy and full of pancakes.Meng Xiaobei read it once, and the restless little spark in his heart was immediately extinguished.It's still his little dad's bodybuilder with protruding chest and hips, which is the most fascinating, and he will never get tired of watching it a hundred times.

Meng Xiaobei always believed that he was not a natural comrade. He never had any physical desire for any man other than Shaotang, so he felt that it was impossible to be in love with others.

The instructor of their class came in to inspect the internal affairs, and walked around with his leather boots: "Meng Xiaobei, you are the only quilt in your class. You fold it well. You are very skillful. You are a tofu cube!"

The corner of Meng Xiaobei's mouth revealed a smug expression, "Thank you instructor for the compliment."He thought to himself, Grandpa has undergone military training since he was a child, and someone at home trained me.Someone "taught" him in advance, so what he brought was Shaotang's hard quilt.This quilt is not for sleeping, in summer, no need, it is specially for "stacking"!

The instructor's surname is Fang, and he is also a big boy. His position is the class monitor, and he is no more than one and a half years older than the college students.Instructor Xiao Fang took another look and pointed to the one on the left: "Wang Yuhui, look at you, what kind of stuff are you stacking!"

Wang Yuhui, who was pouted, turned around and raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "What the hell? I stacked tofu cubes!"

Instructor Fang said: "What Meng Xiaobei made was tofu cubes, but what you made was tofu dregs."

As soon as the back of the squad leader disappeared at the door, Wang Yuhui thumped the ground and went crazy, "No matter how badly I fold it, you can't humiliate me ahhh my quilt is not scum!!..."

A row of boys knelt on the bed, beat the quilt and laughed.Lin Shuo praised: "Meng Xiaobei, how do you practice folding quilts?"

Meng Xiaobei smiled faintly, proudly written on the man's face: "I am a 'military family member', I make quilts for the family members all day long, and I will be punished if I fail to make them up to standard."

Meng Xiaobei casually said that his classmates didn't quite understand, what kind of "military family" are you? !
