Find the world back
"Xunyang Reunion Travelogue" No. 3
Zhong Fensheng
On April 6, when I was still repairing water in my hometown, my childhood little Zhu Laiwang kept in close contact with me to determine when I would be able to go to Jiujiang, and this time I must meet and get together! When I returned to my hometown, I was also busy getting together with my classmates.
Early in the morning, Hu Yanrong, a student of Fa Xiao, invited us to eat xiaolongbao, and we arrived at the store at seven o'clock. He said that if he was any later, there would be a lot of people, and it would be difficult to find seats. After breakfast, we were taken to a nearby place with a red seal to feel the red cultural atmosphere of Xiushui. And when they had gone round and round the city, they returned to their own business.

I made an appointment with my old neighbor Jingjing at 9 a.m., and she accompanied us up the mountain to sweep the grave of our ancestors. As soon as I came down the mountain, I received a call from Zhu Meiling, a classmate of the Communist University of China, urging me to come over early, and she invited several of our classmates to eat Chinese food in the newly opened "Ningzhou Compound" in the county. She and I were classmates of the Agricultural Machinery Company at the University of the Communist Party of China, and after graduation, we were assigned to work at the Xiushui Sandu Tea Farm. At first, we also made tea together in the workshop of the tea factory, and then I served as the clerk of the field department, and then we were both transferred out of the Sandu Tea Factory. She was transferred to work in the county, and I was transferred to work on the Hunan Railway......

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, on the way to the banquet, we happened to meet a group of students from the Communist University, some of whom met for the first time after graduating from the Communist University in 72!

On April 7th, I will go to Jiujiang from Xiushui to participate in the two-day friendship activity of Jiujiang for students from Xiushui No. 2 Primary School and No. 66. My trip to my hometown, in the high-speed operation of time and space, brings together a distinct theme: to find the world back!

Time has pushed us to old age, and now I seem to be walking in the opposite direction, my mind is traveling through time and space, building a bridge between childhood and youth......
In late February 1982, when we returned to our hometown while traveling to get married, we met Zhu Laiwang in Xiucheng. I didn't tell him that this was a trip to get married, so he bought a temporary tea set for us. At that time, he was still working in Xiushui County, and in 1997, he was transferred to Jiujiang to work. From '82 to now, we haven't met. I remember that he was one year older than me, and he firmly believed that we were classmates!

"Since it's your classmate, it's also my classmate, you can contact me when the time comes!" Zhu Laiwang left me a message on WeChat.
On the afternoon of April 7th, we came to Jiujiang, the students are staying in the "Happiness Lane" hotel, the students here in Jiujiang do their best to be the landlord, have already booked a room for us, and opened a large table of rich dinner, for our students from afar to pick up the wind and wash the dust!
After the dinner, I immediately contacted Zhu Laiwang, and he quickly came by car to see me! We haven't seen each other for 42 years! Naturally, we are both old! But his back and walking posture are almost exactly the same as when he was a teenager! Only he talks more. insisted that I go to the cabaret to sing and drink some more beer......

Soon he realized that he was drunk. Seeing this scene, Liu Rongfang and I were in a hurry, and forcibly dragged him outside for a walk. We insisted on going to his house, and he said he didn't live at home. The room had been empty for more than a year...... Where do you live now? Hotel, a hotel owned by a relative, no money. His granddaughter attends a school there, and the couple is "accompanied" to study......
Zhu Laiwang drank high
We held him by the arm and talked about the past as we walked. Although he spoke with a wave of wine, his thoughts were clear. I watched for a while, and talked about some of the past, but he didn't say a word of nonsense.
"How are we in the same class? You should be one year higher than us?"
I thought about this question.
"Why not? At that time, our squad leader was Ni Zhongmin!
He still insisted that we were classmates.
Actually, he was very right! We used to be classmates, but I forgot about it! It's just that after the second grade, they went to the third grade. I was the only repeater in my class at the time. I repeated the grade in the third class of the second grade, the homeroom teacher Dai Meihua, and our class leader was Xu Xiaoling. She also came to Jiujiang this time to participate in the friendship activities of her classmates.
We took him to a location not far from the hotel, and only after his repeated requests did we return with confidence. We walked more than 16,000 steps round trip!
From April 8th to 9th, we traveled to several scenic spots around Jiujiang.
At the end of the two-day tour, Zhu Laiwang came to the banquet for us! He invited Liu Rongfang, Fan Caihua, and Li Xiuping. On the afternoon of the 9th, we went to his house to play, and then went to a nearby hotel for a banquet to catch up. It's very precious, so it's not lively!

On April 9th, Zhu Laiwang had a banquet and made it unforgettable to get together in Jiujiang
In the second semester of the fifth grade, the "Cultural Revolution" began. At that time, a primary school was opened in every street, and together with Liu Rongfang, I transferred from the second elementary school to the "Red Star Primary School" on Xipeng Street. The school has only one graduating class.
I remember when I was in the sixth grade, a fire broke out in the "Nanchang Mountain" near the county seat. He told me this information. The next day, I went to "Nanchang Mountain" with him and his father to cut "firewood". It was my first time going up the hill to chop wood. There is no woodcutter at home, only a heavy wood-chopping knife, the knife edge is quite thick, and you can't chop wood at all. As soon as he had an idea, he took a kitchen knife with him and cut down a dried cedar tree in the "Fire Mountain" and carried it home......
Fan Caihua is my classmate in primary school, middle school and Communist University, and her house is more than 10 meters away from my house. Apparently neighbors. There is a public street lamp in front of her house, and that area used to be a playground for our childhood friends, where we often played the game of "sappers and robbers" at night......

Li Xiuping also lives in this area, and he should be two terms higher than us. We later got together to chop wood. His father was a cadre of the county public security bureau, and he did not know what level he had. The people were very gentle, didn't have a bit of a stand, and went with us to chop wood. I remember one time there was a very steep path on that wood-cutting hill. It doesn't matter if you climb up, it's very difficult to carry firewood down! Among the friends, there is only one adult, Xiuping's father. He first picked the firewood down the mountain, then returned to the side of the steep path on the mountain, and helped us by the hand, so that we could safely carry the firewood down the mountain one by one......

At the banquet, I talked about my visit to Jiujiang this time to participate in the friendship activities of our second primary school classmates.
"I turned out to be a small one. Li Xiuping said.
As soon as I heard "a little", my eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Do you know Lu Guanjian?"
"How do you know Lu Guanjian? We are classmates!"
I didn't expect to go around, and I used to be in the same class as Li Xiuping! I was studying in a small hair mold, which was a five-year experimental primary school at that time. The quality of teaching is very high! But I don't study hard and my academic performance can't keep up. The teacher put a lot of effort into me and designated Lu Guanjian, a student with good academic performance, to help me. We should still be at the same table. Despite this, I still couldn't keep up with the work, and after only one semester, I transferred to the second elementary school of the ordinary elementary school. It's six years here. In the second elementary school, another level was left. So Li Xiuping is two terms higher than me.

Life is only once for everyone. Cherishing the fate of life has a particularly heavy meaning.
In the journey of our life, we will collide, merge, encounter, separate, repel, meet, be sad, be attached to each other, meet each other, and disperse each other......
