Chapter 27 Six "The man's heart hangs on the sister's heart"

How long has it been since Hu Yuyin woke up early in the morning to clean Qingshiban Street by herself? She sweeps silently, without raising her head or resting her hands.Does she have thinking activities? What is she thinking about? Thinking about Qin Shutian’s oar-like figure on the stage when he waved a bamboo broom in the past? Reminiscing about the happy scene when they played tricks on that pair of powerful men and women that year ? Are you still looking for the footprints left by Qin Shutian on Qingshiban Street? These footprints are all over the street, densely packed and overlapping.It is these footprints that have trampled the bluestones smooth.Can you tell them apart? Which one belongs to Brother Shutian? Which one belongs to me? These footprints cannot be swept away. They are all inlaid on the bluestone board, inlaid on Hu Yuyin's heart, and the more they sweep Bright... The longing for her loved ones has become the nourishment for her soul.It is strange that in such a long period of time.She tasted all the spiritual and physical "food" that a "class enemy" should have, bearing the dirt and shame, living like a grass in the cracks of the rocks, and never thought of "death" again.She also learned how Brother Shutian dealt with these situations, calling her to accept criticism, and she was as normal as going to work on the team.She lowered her head before anyone pulled her hair.Before someone kicked her legs from behind, she would fall to her knees with a plop.She was slapped on the right side, and she waited for another one on the left... She was also slapped and slapped. She is an old athlete, and she should be awarded the gold medal of "Sportsman". ——Why didn’t the ultra-left contests that have lasted for more than ten years not announce the results of the competition, and didn’t set up various gold, silver, and bronze medals? This made her suffer less.And every time at the criticism meeting, she knelt down to the villagers without moving, her face was pale, her expression was numb, she didn't cry, like a plaster statue.Her two big black and white eyes sometimes raised her head to look at everyone, and her eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, indicating that she was still alive.Is her eyes trying to win the sympathy of the villagers and disintegrate people's fighting spirit? Or is she doing a silent protest: "Fathers and sisters in the neighborhood, look, I am the lady Furong who sells rice tofu at a small stall... I Kneeling to you like this, kneeling until you are magnanimous, magnanimous, forgive me, let me go..." Indeed, every time there is a criticism meeting in the town, she will kneel on the stage, and the atmosphere of the venue will be It is often not intense, the fighting spirit of the masses is not high, and the smell of gunpowder is not strong.Some people's eyes will be red, and they can't bear to look down when they lower their heads.

Some people will find various excuses and leave the venue halfway, even though the door is guarded by militiamen. The birds on the trees and the flowers and plants in the ditch all have their lives.Hu Yuyin also has a life.Everything is life.Fate is doomed.Or, the women in Furong Town who are worse than her, lazier, trickier, and more vicious than her are not unlucky, but she, Hu Yuyin, is unlucky because she gets up early to be greedy for the dark, catches her life and sells some rice tofu? Those who overspend in the team every year and ask for relief from the country every year are good people? Those who are valued by the government and who are treasures are this kind of people? Those who are mothers and daughters are this kind of characters! In the past, the Yamen hated the poor and loved the rich, but now some Turn it upside down, blindly fight the rich and love the poor, and don't look at why the rich and the poor, but take the No. 1 person Wang Qiushe as the root and the lifeblood.Well, Hu Yuyin's people in this world will be fooled and fooled. They will be reincarnated in the next life, and they will be too lazy to do things. The stilted building is crooked, supported by vertical wooden piles, and always acts as a poor peasant, so that the superiors can look at it pleasingly, as a child and daughter, and as a root for sports...

It's better to die than to live, and to live with shame, even if people treat you as a ghost, as a black female ghost.Hu Yuyin now has a "heart companion", that Brother Shutian who is still in prison, Brother Shutian also left her lifeblood-Xiao Junjun.She's not going to die, no matter how hard or cheap she is, she lives an interesting and worthwhile life.Xiao Junjun grew up under her hug and caress, laughed, made noise, ate, slept, babbled, started to toddle in her endless kisses, and grew up to be eight years old.Counting with fingers, the government sentenced Xiaojun's father to ten years in prison. After nine years, he will be back soon.Brother Shutian was in the Dongting Lake labor reform farm, and he sent letters every month, with "Kiss Xiaojunjun" written at the end of each letter.Is it just "kiss Xiao Junjun"? Yuyin has a tender wife's heart, and she understands what a man means... Yuyin writes back to Brother Shutian every month, and writes on every letter: "Shutian, dear Junjun!" Kiss you. You have to take care of yourself and reform yourself. The government will release you as soon as possible. Junjun and I are waiting for you and looking forward to you every day. My heart is getting old and my eyes are almost piercing. But don’t worry, Junjun I have grown up year by year, but I haven't grown old year by year. My heart is still young, and this youth is reserved for you, waiting for you. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry..." By the way, Yuyin is still I remember singing "Xi Ge Tang", one hundred and eight songs, I haven't forgotten all the songs, and I can still sing.I also saved it for Brother Shutian to sing, and kept it for Brother Shutian when he got out of prison and sang together when he returned home.This thought, this affection, Yuyin, have you written it in your letters? You don’t want to

I'm afraid, "Xi Ge Tang" is not a code name, it's just anti-feudal, and the guards will hand over the letter to brother Shutian... Hu Yuyin wakes up early every morning and silently cleans Qingshiban Street.She is not just sweeping the streets, she is looking for and identifying the footprints on the bluestone slabs, her man's footprints... In the second year after the "Gang of Four" fell, someone from the Brigade Headquarters, the Town Revolutionary Committee, and the police station ordered her to "Hu Yuyin, you don't need to sweep the streets anymore." But she still gets up early every morning to sweep.First, she was afraid of changes in the future, and people said she would reverse the case; second, she seemed to be used to it, as if she was stubbornly expressing to the neighbors: I want to sweep, I want to sweep, I want to sweep until my man comes back, my brother Shutian comes back! A docile personality , The silent woman, the inner world is a treasure house with a huge amount of emotions.

In the spring of this year—in the spring of 1979, the Town Revolutionary Committee sent someone to find her, and the person who punished her in the past and classified her as a rich peasant informed her: Your status is wrong, expand it, Make corrections for you, restore your status as a small proprietor, return the property rights of the building, and temporarily borrow it from the Town Revolutionary Committee.She was so frightened that she covered her eyes with her hands, disbelief, disbelief, impossible, impossible! This was daydreaming... Tears flowed down from her fingers, but she didn't cry out.She didn't dare to let go of her hands covering her eyes, and she was afraid to open her eyes to see, what a dream! Impossible, impossible... She had been a rich peasant woman for fourteen or five years, and suffered so many fights, I have been punished so much for kneeling and suffering so much, how did I make a mistake? Red mouth and white teeth, I made a mistake! And they also like to play tricks on people. They were the ones who drew rich peasants at the beginning, but now they announce that they made a mistake. These are the same people.These people are smooth-talking, they can say anything, and they can do anything.They are always right.Which one is wrong? Where is it wrong? So Hu Yuyin doesn't believe in this myth.This is a dream.

It wasn't until the people from the Town Revolutionary Committee showed her the official documents of the county government and showed her the bright red seal of the Public Security Bureau that she believed it. It was true.God, God, she almost Passed out.She swayed a few times, but did not fall down.Over the years, she has been swayed and hardened.Suddenly her face flushed red, her eyes widened, she stretched out her hands, and said loudly (so loud that she herself was a little surprised): "Don't rush to leave the building, don't rush to refund the money, you first return my man! Return my man, I want someone, I want someone!"

Several cadres of the Town Revolutionary Committee were taken aback, thinking that this woman, who had been silent for so many years, was asking them to pay back Li Guigui, who committed suicide in 1964, to take back Li Guigui's life! One of them A pale face, a little embarrassed: Look, this woman just took off her hat and implemented the policy for her. She is not grateful, does not kowtow, but is here to make trouble for no reason! Hu Yuyin's outstretched hands did not retract, but her voice lowered: "Give me back my man... my man was arrested by you and put in prison. He will be sentenced to ten years in prison, and the sentence will be full in one year. He is not guilty, not guilty. ..."

The people from the Town Revolutionary Committee sighed, and told her with a smile: "Qin Shutian has also been rehabilitated, and he has also taken off his hat. His rightist has also been wrongly marked, and he has to be restored to work. The provincial radio station had broadcast " Happy Song Hall." "Hahaha! It's all wrong! Brother Shutian also made a mistake! Hahaha! God, God, the new society is back! The Communist Party is back! Hahaha! The new society didn't go anywhere, I mean he The policy is back..." In her early forties, Hu Yuyin had never laughed, made a scene, or acted so arrogantly on Qingshiban Street.With disheveled hair and dancing.The neighbors thought she was crazy, the poor miserable woman.She didn't pick up the baby until her baby Xiaojun came to pull her, pulled her, walked around the street a few times, kissed the baby's face, and went back to the old Huji inn with a bang up.

When Hu Yuyin returned to the house, she fell on the bed and cried loudly.Why cry? Cry when you are sad and hopeless, and cry when joy falls from the sky! People are monsters.Crying, which god created it? It should be awarded the Physiology Grand Prize, the Emotional Gold Cup, and the Humanities Medal.Otherwise, there is no way to vent the great sorrow and joy, and it will really suffocate people's internal organs and blood. Early the next morning, Hu Yuyin still dragged a bamboo broom to clean Qingshiban Street.She used to sweep the street silently, but now she sweeps the street happily.She has a kind of stupidity, and she comes to sweep the street even if she is flat. If she doesn't sweep the street, her bones will itch? That's not it.As a woman, she has her own ideas, and she wants to thank the neighbors in the neighborhood. Thanks to your kindness and conscience over the years, Yuyin has not been trampled to death.It's not that Yuyin suffered from you, you more or less protected Yuyin and saved her life.Yuyin didn't suffer from someone, but suffered from the policies of her superiors... Over the years, Hu Yuyin got up early every morning to sweep the streets, so that the neighbors knew that there was this black woman and the new rich farmer was still there.Since Yuyin swept across the street when she was unlucky, she can also sweep the street now that her luck is good.What's so ugly about street sweeping? What's so bad about it? Those who are begging for food, relief, and subsidies in the new society are ugly.I heard that those who control the streets at the big ports in Beijing and Shanghai are called cleaners, and they are also people's representatives, and their photos are reported, so they are praised.

In fact, Hu Yuyin still got up early in the morning to sweep Qingshiban Street, and she still had a secret in her heart.She knew that Brother Shutian was in labor reform at Dongting Lake thousands of miles away, and after receiving the notice of redress and correction, he would rush back day and night, fly back with wings.I haven't met my own flesh and blood yet, is the woman I've been separated from for nine years old? Yuyin knows that Brother Shutian's heart has long been anxious and broken.Didn't he rush back all day and night? Yuyin couldn't sleep all night.Xiao Junjun, however, slept like a fool, even if Yuyin hugged and kissed him, he wouldn't wake up.Since Yuyin didn't hear footsteps or knock on the door all night long, she didn't wait for Brother Shutian

When I came back, I had a premonition: Brother Shutian would come back in the morning! I heard that the bus from the state to the county arrived in the afternoon.There are still sixty miles from the county seat to Furong Town, Brother Shutian will not care about staying in a shop in the city, he will rush back along the road overnight! Yes, he will rush back overnight... After sweeping a street, it will be daylight, Yuyin was also disappointed.She complained in her heart: men are always careless.You haven't completed the formalities, and you can't get away all at once, so you should write a letter or send a telegram first.In case people look at it all night and all night, early in the morning, their neck bones are long, they have no conscience! Maybe Brother Shutian returns When I arrived in the county, I went through the formalities of returning to work first? Alas, the heart of a man is higher than the sky, bigger than the sky.Yuyin doesn't like you doing that ghost job, lest you get into trouble again.You just stood by Yuyin's side, led a small army, planted private plots, raised pigs, chickens and ducks, worked as a collective worker, embroidered our buildings with lace, played songs, and passed the days happily... These years of torture also made Hu Yuyin feel timid and suspicious.Since the day she was corrected and hated, she was afraid of changes, afraid that people would suddenly shout, "Down with the new rich peasant woman!" Always frightened, nervous.She is eagerly looking forward to Brother Shutian's return, and to live a happy life together! Even if it takes two or three days, ten days and a half months, straighten your back, walk side by side on the street like other couples, talking and laughing , in and out of department stores.Brother Shutian, come back quickly, if you still don’t come back! If one day, I put on the hat of a new rich farmer again, and you only meet when you are a rightist again, and your fate is formed by the "horoscope" you have formed, then I can't win even if I cry... Early this morning, it was foggy, dewy and frosty, and it was a bit cold.Hu Yuyin went to clean Qingshiban Street again.She didn't sleep well at night, dragging her tired legs and listlessness.I'm tired of looking forward to men.Morning and night disappointment.She always cries at night and changes her pillow handkerchief every day.If the man doesn't come back, what is she doing to correct and rehabilitate her? What's the point and use of all this! She really wants to go to the Township Revolutionary Committee to make a fuss: Why hasn't my brother Shutian come back? Your policy How did you implement it? You still don’t go and put him back?... The bamboo broom scraped the bluestone slab, sand, sand, sand, one stroke, one stroke, and she swept to the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative’s wall, leaning against the wall to rest Take a break.She couldn't help leaning out to look at the side door in the alley, where Wang Qiushe broke his foot.Now the side door has been built tightly with bricks, leaving only a frame of door marks.Whatever it is, those old things, I still think about what it is going to do... Turning around, picking up the broom, suddenly a figure in front of me, carrying a travel bag or something, hurried towards me.Probably an early traveler.Hey, this guest didn’t even ask, he was going the wrong way, the bus was standing at the other end, he should turn around.But the man was still walking towards him in a hurry.Alas, I was too lazy to yell, and I told him to turn back when he got to his side... The bamboo broom scraped the bluestone, rustling, rustling... "Yuyin? Yuyin, Yuyin!" Who is calling? Calling her own name so early? Hu Yuyin's eyes are blurred and blurry. A tall, thin man is standing in front of her, with sideburns, wearing new clothes and trousers, and putting a handbag in front of her. feet.The man was stunned, standing there like a log... Hu Yuyin couldn't help but took a step back. "Yuyin, Yuyin! Yuyin——!" The man's voice became louder and louder, and he spread his hands, as if he was about to pounce on him.Hu Yuyin's eyes are blurred, she hates it so much! Why can't she see people clearly when they are face to face?Her heart is numb, damn it, her heart is numb! Is this man Shutian brother? Is he dreaming again? Shutian brother, Shutian brother, Shutian brother who is looking forward to day and night? Suddenly, so easy? She trembled all over, her mouth trembled, her heart jumped into her throat, and her chest was suffocating, almost suffocating.She finally uttered a shocking cry: "Book—Tian—brother—!" Qin Shutian's thick and strong arms embraced his woman, and hugged her so tightly that Yuyin's feet were lifted off the ground.Yuyin's whole body was limp, like a vine.She closed her eyes, her face was as white as a sculpture of white jade.She let the man hug her tightly, let the man's sideburns touch her face painfully.She only had one feeling, the man came back, not a dream, but actually came back.Even if it is a dream, it should last longer, so as not to be awakened all at once... The bamboo broom fell across Qingshiban Street, Qin Shutian hugged Hu Yuyin and sat down on the stone steps near the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, as if he was holding a girl in his arms.Hu Yuyin then burst into tears: "Brother Shutian! Brother Shutian! You, you..." "Yuyin! Yuyin! Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." "You didn't send a letter when you came back! I'll be waiting sooner or later...I know you will come back day and night!" "Where can I care about writing letters? Where can I care about writing letters? I took a ship and a train, got off the train to drive a car, got off the car and walked at night, only regretting that I didn't have wings...but faster than wings, It took only three days to drive more than a thousand miles! Yuyin, you are not happy, are you not happy?" "Brother Shutian! I live only for you!" "Me too! Me too! Otherwise, I would have plunged into Dongting Lake!" Hu Yuyin suddenly stopped crying, put her arms around Qin Shutian's neck, and kissed him all over his face. "Oh, Yuyin, my beard is too long, I didn't bother to shave it." "You are a man, how can you know the heart of a woman!" "Your heart, I know." "I sweep the streets every morning, call your name, and talk to you, you know?" "I know. I get up early every day to cut the lake grass and pick up the lake mud. I always answer questions with you. We have questions and answers. I know where you sweep the street every morning. Where do you sweep and rest .I can hear the rustling of the bamboo broom scraping the bluestone..." "Hold me! Hug me, hold me tight! I'm cold." Hu Yuyin snuggled into Qin Shutian's arms, afraid that Qin Shutian would suddenly let go of his hands and disappear like a shadow. "Yuyin, Yuyin... my good Yuyin, a miserable woman..." At this moment, Qin Shutian burst into tears, tears streaming down his face: "You have suffered so much, suffered so much for me... In this life, I can't afford to pay you back, I can't afford to pay you back... For so many years, I have only thought, hoped, to return to you, see Once I see you, I am willing to do it... I never thought that God opened my eyes, we still have a day to be human..." Hu Yuyin didn't cry at this time, a kind of maternal love spontaneously arose in her body.She stroked Qin Shutian's disheveled hair, and comforted him: "Brother Shutian, I don't cry anymore, are you still crying? 'Lang's heart is on my sister's heart'. I remember my mother told me a long time ago that a person who is loved and thought of by others, no matter how much he suffers Difficult, everything will be safe and sound...for so many years, that's what I thought and loved in my heart, and we met safely! Let's get up quickly. Sitting like this on the edge of the supply and marketing cooperative, it's called to get up early When the neighbors see it, they will tell it as a joke!" Qin Shutian cried again.They both stood up, like a pair of young people in love, cuddled together and walked towards the Old Huji Inn. "Junjun is eight years old, right? Will he call him daddy?" "I've told him a long time ago. He asks daddy when he'll be back every day, and he's so impatient... At the end of the story, if you see the baby, you'll die. If you leave me alone, I won't obey..." "Fool, you're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"
