In the northern wilderness, there is a family surnamed Yin in the Raohe farm, there are 4 brothers and sisters, the eldest is a male baby, called Yin Shifan, and the remaining three are girls. Coincidentally, there are 3774 Zhiqing in Raohe Farm, of which 4 Zhiqing and Yin Jiaxi are married.
In 1978, Zhiqing returned to the city, and the Yin family faced a big problem, the aunt wanted to return to the city, and the daughter-in-law wanted to return home. As soon as they leave, will the Yin family still be home? Especially Yin Shifan, when his wife returned to the city, the broken jar was broken and said, "Send me to the crematorium, and when I die, I will be a hundred!" ”

In 1969, Chen Sufang, a beijing intellectual, came to the Raohe Farm in beidahuang with a childish face. When she first arrived, Chen Sufang was completely unable to adapt to rural life. I was particularly homesick and cried when I missed home. When one person cries, the whole dorm girl has to cry along. In the middle of the night, the girls' dormitory is always fluttering with sobs.
After a month, there were fewer people crying. It's not that they don't want to go home, it's that the farm is too tired to make them homesick. However, there are also interesting aspects of farm life. Zhiqing in the countryside are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and big girls, full of hormones, and it is inevitable that there will be Zhiqing who look at each other, including Yin Shifan and Chen Sufang.
At that time, the farm was reorganized into the Production and Construction Corps, yin Shifan as a local, Chen Sufang as a Zhiqing from Beijing, both belonged to the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps 3rd Division 22nd Regiment. The Corps had rules prohibiting soldiers from falling in love with each other. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the two fell in love with each other.
When the battalion commander learned of this, he scolded the two men fiercely. In the 1960s and 1970s, during the Cultural Revolution, criticism and review were popular. Regardless of the small meeting of the conference, both of them have become negative models. Because of falling in love, Yin Shifan was also locked up in a confinement room for 7 days. After being released, the two nominally broke up and actually started an underground romance.

In 1971, the farm was flooded and several company stations were flooded. After the water receded, the corps was redistributed, Yin Shifan was assigned to the 13th Company, and Chen Sufang was assigned to the 16th Company. The conditions of the 16 companies were poor, and even the electricity was not yet connected. Before the separation, Yin Shifan gave Chen Sufang a small horse lamp.
The suffering of 16 consecutive years is not only in the absence of electricity. The garrison of the 16th Company is still a wasteland that has not been reclaimed, and the land is deserted and there are many mosquitoes. When I was working, I slapped my hands full of blood. Smoke and fire have tried and are useless. In the end, you can only wrap your body tightly with a towel and turban to feel better.
Autumn is the most tired, and you have to cut beans. The Great Northern Wilderness is not only "barren" but also "large", one is tens or hundreds of acres of land. When cutting beans, Zhiqing was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight, so he knelt down to work in the field. Winter is the hardest, and you have to step on the snow half a leg deep to cut wood on the mountain. The two girls sawed, their hands frozen to the point of unconsciousness. During the meal, the cooking class delivered the half-cooked steamed buns to the ground and took a bite of an ice ballast.
16 consecutive no electricity, every night, Chen Sufang will light the pony lamp sent by Yin Shifan. The two companies were far away, and because they were afraid, neither of them dared to write a letter. A small pony lamp became the only entanglement between the two. Until half a year later, Yin Shifan, who could not suppress his thoughts, took advantage of his vacation to secretly run to the 16th Company and secretly met with Chen Sufang next to the Ussuri River.
This love affair is harder than anything. Not only did the Corps oppose it, but Chen Sufang's family also disagreed. When she first fell in love, Chen Sufang wrote to her family, saying, "I fell in love, and the object was a local intellectual. "Chen Sufang's hometown is Beijing, and now, the lady in Beijing City has found a poor boy in the countryside." It is conceivable that Chen Sufang's parents must be resolutely opposed to the two falling in love.

Unexpectedly, this underground love affair was 3 years.
In 1973, the Corps not only allowed Zhiqing to fall in love, but also registered marriages. That year's Spring Festival, Yin Shifan and Chen Sufang were married under the blessing of their friends. The two were secretly married, and Chen Sufang did not dare to tell her mother's family in Beijing about this matter. On the wedding night, after Zhiqing left in the cave room, the two sat looking at each other, recalling the ups and downs of the past three years, and could not help but burst into tears. Especially Chen Sufang, when she thought of not having the blessing of her mother's family, she cried and could not speak. That night, the two patronized and cried with their headaches!
After the marriage, bingtuan took a wedding leave, and Chen Sufang returned to Beijing to visit relatives. This is also the first time that Chen Sufang has returned to her hometown to visit her relatives after going to the countryside. She lived in Beijing for three months, and before leaving, her mother took Chen Sufang's hand and said, "Child, it is not easy for you to come back once, so stay at home for a few more days!" Chen Sufang said very firmly, "No, Lianli will not let the super fake"!
The mother could not have imagined that the daughter not only secretly married her on the farm, but also became two months pregnant when she returned home to visit her family. I lived in Beijing for another 3 months, and now I am almost 5 months old. Chen Sufang's stomach is also becoming more and more pregnant, and if she doesn't leave, she will show her filling. After returning to the farm, Chen Sufang gave birth to a son.
In the autumn of 1974, my mother had a uterine tumor, and a telegram came from home, "My mother is seriously ill, and I will return soon!" At that time, Chen Sufang and Yin Shifan had just started a family, and they had just had children, and the family was in financial difficulties, and they didn't even have the cost of traveling home. But as the old saying goes, ugly daughters-in-law always have to see their in-laws, and it is not the way to keep it hidden. Before leaving, Yin Shifan cobbled together 200 yuan and asked Chen Sufang to take her son back to her mother's house.

When they arrived in Beijing, Chen Sufang led her children around the door several times before finally plucking up the courage to step into the gate. When they met, the father saw at a glance that this child was not simple, like, too much like Chen Sufang when she was a child. However, the father was not very happy, but pointed his nose and scolded Chen Sufang. Scolding her daughter's words, how ugly it is to hear.
Chen Sufang knew that she was wrong, hugged the child, and did not dare to say a word. If it weren't for the eldest brother's persuasion, Chen Sufang would almost not even come in. In the following days, Chen Sufang carefully waited for her mother, who had just been discharged from the hospital. Before marriage, my mother strongly opposed the two from falling in love. Now that raw rice is cooked to maturity, her mother is the only person in the family who has not scolded her.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming, my mother's illness is much better, and my father's anger has also disappeared a lot. During the meal, the father suddenly said, "The children have all seen each other, and they don't know what his father looks like, let his father come to Beijing for the New Year." After saying that, my father put down his unfinished meal and walked away. Chen Sufang's tears seemed to break the embankment, burying her head in the bowl and not speaking.
On the same day, Chen Sufang sent a telegram to the farm, and Yin Shifan said that he would not come. It turned out that Yin Shifan knew that he should not cut first and play later, and he felt that he was from the countryside and was not worthy of the city people, and he was embarrassed to come to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Finally, Chen Sufang photographed the telegram to the company commander and the instructor. The instructor and company commander issued a military order asking Yin Shifan to go to Beijing.
At this meeting, the father-in-law and mother-in-law recognized this family affair, and the stone in Yin Shifan's heart also fell.

In 1976, one after another Zhiqing returned to the city. At first, no one cared about the change, thinking it was just an isolated case. In 1979, Zhiqing returned to the city to its peak, and almost every day Zhiqing left the farm. That year, Yin Shifan and Chen Sufang's son was 5 years old.
Seeing that the acquaintances around her had left the farm, she had to worry about whether she had eaten their lunch or not. In a hurry, Chen Sufang was admitted to the hospital. Although Chen Sufang didn't say anything, looking at his sick wife, Yin Shifan had mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Chen Sufang had been waiting for 10 years to return to the city, and from the night she entered the camp, she thought about when she would be able to return home.
Now that he could return to the city, Yin Shifan was like a burden, dragging Chen Sufang back.
Half a month later, Chen Sufang's condition improved, and when she was discharged from the hospital, she told Yin Shifan, "The child's father, I want to go back to the city...". Yin Shifan said, "If you want to go back, go back!" "At that time, it was easier for unmarried Zhiqing to return to the city. Married young people who want to return to the city need to divorce first and then return to the city. Therefore, Chen Sufang's return to the city means that she wants to divorce Yin Shifan. Even if there is no divorce, what is the difference between separation and divorce?
A few months later, the instructor sent Chen Sufang a household registration permit. A thin piece of paper, but it is not easy to come by. Chen Sufang's parents entrusted many people in Beijing and ran for documents for several months. When it was really in his hand, Chen Sufang hesitated, this other may be a farewell, thinking about it, Chen Sufang tore up the permit. After calming down, she glued the permit back together.
In 1981, Chen Sufang returned to Beijing from Raohe Farm. When he left, his son was 7 years old. Later, Chen Sufang moved her hukou to Beijing, leaving her husband and son on the farm. After returning to Beijing, Chen Sufang found that she was pregnant again. She returned to the farm and gave birth to a daughter.

In 1984, Chen Sufang's mother came to Raohe Farm from Beijing. The mother told her daughter, "Son, come back with me!" The unit must be divided into houses, and if you go back with me, you will be able to share one more room in the house." In fact, the mother could not bear to let her daughter stay in the countryside for the rest of her life, and wanted to find an excuse to bring her back to Beijing.
In '84, my daughter was three years old. But because Chen Sufang's hukou was moved to Beijing, she had no job on the farm and no income. After thinking about it again, Chen Sufang felt that it was not a problem to stay on the farm and was ready to return to Beijing to find a job. Eventually, Chen Sufang took her son and daughter back to Beijing with her mother.
Back in Beijing, the neighbors around me advised, "Just divorce him!" In 1979, when married young people returned to the city, there were too many people going through divorce procedures. For example, in Mengpeng Farm, Yunnan, there are more than 9,000 intellectuals and 415 people who have registered for marriage. When they returned to the city in 1979, more than 300 people went through divorce procedures. Therefore, even if Chen Sufang went through the divorce procedures, it would not be surprising!
Someone else asked Chen Sufang, how much money does your husband send you in a month? Don't send money! How not to divorce without sending money? So many years of affection, and two children, don't want to divorce! After returning to Beijing, Chen Sufang spent the whole day in torment. However, Chen Sufang is not the only one who is suffering.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1985, Yin Shifan fell ill. He misses Chen Sufang and his two children. The younger sister asked Yin Shifan, "Big brother, why don't you send you to the hospital?" "I'm not going!" "What about sending you to your mother?" "Don't go either!" The sister was anxious and said angrily, "Send you to the crematorium, right?" "Okay, send me to the crematorium, and I'll be a hundred dead!"

When the news of Yin Shifan's illness reached Beijing, Chen Sufang could not sit still and immediately bought a train ticket back to Raohe Farm.
At this time, more than a year had passed since Chen Sufang left Raohe Farm. After returning to Beijing with the child, her mother asked someone to find her a job, and she was about to turn right. At this moment, Chen Sufang suddenly received 200 yuan and a telegram from the instructor: "Shi Fan is seriously ill, return quickly!" She immediately took more than 20 days off from the leader and returned to the farm with her two children.
Back at home, Chen Sufang found that the door was closed, pushed open the door, and Yin Shifan was lying on the bed. She pushed her son and daughter, "Quick, call Daddy." Before the child could shout out, Chen Sufang couldn't help but shout, "Child, his father, I'm back!" Yin Shifan, who was still sleeping, suddenly sat up and looked at the lady in front of him and couldn't make a sound.
After a year, Chen Sufang simply couldn't recognize the appearance of home. There were cigarette butts on the ground, ash on the windowsills, and cobwebs hanging in the corners. Dirty shoes, dirty socks, empty beer bottles, thrown everywhere, almost like a dump. What about Yin Shifan? The man was thin and took off his face, and the white shirt when he left was now dark gray.
Early the next morning, Chen Sufang began to wash clothes and clean up the outside of the house. It took three days to wash the clothes and clean the house. Looking at the white shirt that yin Shifan had just washed out, Chen Sufang silently made up her mind: not to go back to Beijing, she is here, her home is here, Yin Shifan can live like a person.
Chen Sufang returned, but her hukou was still in Beijing. For more than 10 years, she didn't have a decent job, and the farm couldn't pay her. There is no way, Chen Sufang can only raise chickens, ducks, and get some side business. As for Yin Shifan, he was promoted from the leader of the brick-making platoon to the secretary of the mechanized production team.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the farm was reformed, and the efficiency was not good, and it could only pay two or three months' wages a year. Someone said, "Chen Sufang, you are also too stupid to give up your job in Beijing and come to the farm to raise chickens and ducks." Now the salary can't be opened, you still have to go back to Beijing! Chen Sufang said, "It's not just my family that can't pay wages, I can't pay wages, I can't keep him here, I have to be worthy of my conscience!" ”
In 1980, when they returned to the city, the four brothers and sisters of the Yin family, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second, third, and fourth were all girls, and their husbands all returned to the city. The second uncle is Beijing Zhiqing, and the fourth aunt is Jiamusi Zhiqing. Later, the second elder went to Beijing, the fourth went to Jiamusi, and the third stayed in Raohe Farm. After Chen Sufang returned, she also stayed on the farm with Yin Shifan, and she has never been far away until now!
