Chapter 25 wait

I picked up the phone and asked: "X building? Please find XX to answer the phone - I am her mother." Hearing the last sentence, the other party no longer hesitated.This comrade, whom he had never met, said meaningfully with a laugh: "She left. She left a message saying that she is still the same as before, go home for dinner, and she will bring you 'good food'!" I asked, "Did she go alone?" "No! She and her sister, and their children, have gone, and have cameras." I put down the microphone and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to think.I'm worried... I'm relieved again, after all, I'm relieved!

Last night, our best friend Lao Zhao came and said: One of his relatives who works in the Working People’s Cultural Palace received a secret order from above, telling them to prepare dozens of big wooden sticks and dispatch them at any time... He asked my daughter : "You still go every day?" My daughters nodded.He shook their hands tightly and said, "Be careful!" and left in a hurry. We all sat down and didn't speak.My little daughter came over and sat next to me, she held my shoulder and said, "Mother, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything, they just dare to do something, so many of us, are you still afraid?" She smiled again He shook my arm and said, "I know, you are not afraid, you still love to hear our prayers."

My heart was churning violently.Before I could say anything, they and their children had already picked up their satchels and schoolbags one after another, saying, "Grandpa, grandma, goodbye, we will bring you some 'good food' tomorrow night!" My wife came over and asked, "They left again?" I nodded.He sat down and said, "We'll just wait." I am most afraid of waiting time!What a hard time! I said: "Let's go out for a walk too." My wife looked at me and stood up without a word. We walked out of the courtyard gate, crossed the village path, headed south, and stopped by the Gaoliang River.Wife said:

"Let's cross the river and go sit in Zizhuyuan Park!" I took his left arm and walked slowly on the narrow bridge. I suddenly looked up at him, and he was looking at me too. We both smiled, as if we felt that we hadn't walked arm in arm like this for many years!Forty-seven years ago, we took such a walk by the Weiming Lake at dusk, but at that time we only thought about our own immediate future; but today, we think about the distant future of our children and our children's children. It's coming! After entering the park, there are not many tourists in sight!The spring ice has already warmed up, but the branches of the bushes, except for a few pines and cypresses, there is not a trace of greenery to be seen!A cold and lonely feeling came over us suddenly, we stood by the water for a while, then sat down on the bench.No one spoke, but I know that he, like me, has already flown to Tiananmen Square with his heart!There are not only our children there, but also many children from all over the world. It is these children who have drawn us magnificent and solemn scenes and sung war songs so loud... Suddenly, Hearing the sound of heavy hammers hitting the wood, I looked up in surprise. It turned out that there were several workers repairing the bottom plates of a row of overturned pleasure boats by the water.Spring is just around the corner, and the cruise ship is about to launch again. I let out a long sigh of relief.

My wife stood up and said: "It's late, let's go out through the front door, maybe we can see them come back." I took his left arm again and walked slowly to the park gate. The mighty bicycle team is like an enclave passing by the broad road. Amidst the dazzle, a clear and clear child's voice turned to us and called: "Grandpa, grandma, go home, we have brought you a 'good Dish' is coming!" At the time of "Wanjia Momian", after "Earth-moving Singing", there must be a thunder that shook the sky and the earth.We are waiting for this "good dish"!On the morning of heavy rain on July 12, 1979.
