Chapter 11 chapter eight

Sir, the next day, my nephew came back from the county seat on a motorcycle and asked my father to take him to my aunt's house to find out about Wang Xiaoti.My father said embarrassingly: Don't go, she is about to be seventy years old, this life is not easy, those old things, cheer up and feel sad.Besides, it's hard for her to say it in front of your uncle. I said, Xiang Qun, what Grandpa said makes sense. Since you are so interested in this matter, I will tell you everything I know. In fact, you can roughly understand the ins and outs of this matter by searching the Internet. Because I've been planning to write a novel with my aunt as the material—now it's natural to rewrite a play—and Wang Xiaoti is naturally an important character.I have been preparing for this book for twenty years.Using various connections, I interviewed many parties.I have made special trips to the three airports where Wang Xiaoti worked, to Wang Xiaoti’s hometown in Zhejiang, to interview Wang Xiaoti’s comrades in a squadron, to interview Wang Xiaoti’s squadron leader and deputy team leader, and I have also boarded the "Jet" that Wang Xiaoti drives. -5' plane, I also interviewed the then Chief of the Anti-Special Section of the County Public Security Bureau, and the then Chief of the Security Section of the County Health Bureau.

It should be said that I know more than anyone else, but the only regret is that I have never met Wang Xiaoti face to face, and your father, with his aunt's permission, sneaked into the movie theater in advance and saw Wang Xiaoti holding hands with his aunt. Going in, Wang Xiaoti's seat is next to your father's.He later described Wang Xiaoti to us: He is 1.75 meters tall, maybe 1.76 meters, fair-skinned, thin and long, with small eyes but very energetic.Teeth are straight, white and sparkling. Your father said that a Soviet film was shown that night, based on Ostrovsky's novel How the Steel Was Tempered.Your father said that he secretly observed Wang Xiaoti and your aunt's actions at first, but he was soon attracted by the revolution and love on the screen.At that time, many Chinese students corresponded with students from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet girl who corresponded with your father happened to be named Dongia, so it was inevitable that your father would forget about his mission when he was immersed in the movie.Of course, your father didn’t get nothing. He saw Wang Xiaoti’s appearance before the movie started, and during the interval between film changes (the cinema was still showing in stand-alone at that time), he smelled the candy smell coming out of Wang Xiaoti’s mouth. Of course he also heard it. I could smell the sound and smell of people cracking melon seeds and eating peanuts in front of me and behind me.At that time, you could eat anything in the movie theater, with or without shells, and there was a thick layer of candy paper, peanuts, and melon seed skins under your feet.After the movie ended, under the light at the entrance of the cinema, when Wang Xiaoti pushed the bicycle to take your aunt to the dormitory of the Health Bureau (at that time your aunt was temporarily seconded to work in the Health Bureau), your aunt smiled and said: Wang Xiaoti, I will You introduce someone!Your father hid in the shadow of the pillars at the entrance of the movie theater and dared not show his face.Wang Xiaoti looked around, who is it?Where are people?Wankou, come here!Your father came timidly from behind the pillar.He was already about the same height as Wang Xiaoti at that time, but his body was slender, like a bamboo pole. The thing about throwing the discus out of the campus and breaking the bull's horn was mostly his own bragging.His hair was disheveled like a magpie's nest. ——My nephew, Wankou, introduced by your aunt.Oh ha, Wang Xiaoti slapped your father hard on the shoulder and said, so it's a spy!Wankou, what a great name!Wang Xiaoti stretched out a hand and said, "Young man, come on, let's get acquainted, Wang Xiaoti!"Feeling flattered, your father stretched out two hands, took Wang Xiaoti's hand, and shook it vigorously.

Your father said that later, he went to the airport to play with Wang Xiaoti, and also ate with him once at the flight attendant stove, braised prawns in oil, diced chicken with spicy peppers, fried day lily with eggs, dried rice, whatever you wanted.Your father's portrayal makes us very envious, and of course I feel honored.Not only because of Wang Xiaoti, but also because of your father, he is my elder brother, and my elder brother has eaten the Kung Fu Stove! Wang Xiaoti also gave your father a harmonica, the Skylark brand, which is quite high-end.Your father said that Wang Xiaoti is a man of many talents. He plays basketball well, and his three-step layup and backhand throw are quite chic.In addition to playing the harmonica, he can also play the accordion. He can write beautifully with a pen, and he also has the talent for painting.Your dad said he had a pencil sketch of your aunt pinned to his wall with thumbtacks.As for Wang Xiaoti's family background, it is impeccable.His father was a senior cadre and his mother was a university professor.Why did such a person fly to Taiwan and become a traitor reviled by thousands of people?

According to Wang Xiaoti's squadron leader, the reason why Wang Xiaoti defected was because he eavesdropped on the enemy's broadcast.He has a semiconductor short-wave radio and can hear Taiwan broadcasts.There is an announcer with a charming and magnetic voice on the Kuomintang radio station, nicknamed "Night Sky Rose", who is extremely lethal. It is estimated that Wang Xiaoti defected because he was fascinated by her voice.Is my aunt not good enough?The already aging squadron leader said: "Your aunt, of course you are good. You come from a good family background, you look good, and you are a party member. According to the aesthetics of the time, that is really outstanding. We all envy Wang Xiaoti from the bottom of our hearts."But your aunt is too revolutionary and decent, so for a person like Wang Xiaoti who has been poisoned by the bourgeoisie, it's not very interesting.Later, the security department analyzed Wang Xiaoti's diary, in which he gave your aunt a nickname: Red Wood!

Of course, the squadron leader said that it was thanks to his diary that your aunt was relieved, otherwise, she would not be able to wash herself out even if she jumped into the Yellow River. Sir, I told my nephew that not only your aunt was almost destroyed by him, but even your father was interrogated many times by the public security department, and the harmonica was also confiscated as evidence of Wang Xiaoti's solicitation and corruption of young people.In his diary, he said: The red wood introduced her foolish nephew to me. This is also a red wood, and it has a strange name: Wankou.If there is no Wang Xiaoti's diary, your father will also be unlucky.

Maybe, Wang Xiaoti wrote it that way on purpose, my little nephew said. Your aunt later had this idea.Wang Xiaoti deliberately left this diary in order to protect her.So last night she said: This man ruined her and saved her. Sir, what my little nephew is more concerned about is obviously the process of Wang Xiaoti's defection.He deeply admired Wang Xiaoti's superb driving skills.He said to let the "J-5" fly at a height of 5 meters above the sea at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, even if there is the slightest mistake, it will plunge into the sea.This guy is a brave man!He was indeed a technical ace, an all-weather pilot.Before his accident, every time he practiced over our village, he would do some amazing maneuvers.At that time, we said that he swooped down to the watermelon field at the east end of our village, reached out to pick a watermelon, and flew up into the clouds with a flick of his wings.

When he got there, did he really get a five thousand taels of gold reward?my little nephew asked me. Maybe it's true?I said, but even ten thousand taels of gold is not worth it.I said, nephew Xiang Qun, don’t envy this. Money and beautiful women are fleeting. Only the motherland, honor, and family are the most precious.The little nephew said: Third Uncle, why are you so funny?Now that there are all dynasties, tell me these things.
