Today is September 9, I don't have Yaxing who "picks chrysanthemums under the east fence and sees Nanshan leisurely", but I came to my father's earthen house without a door alone, poured three glasses of wine, knelt on both knees, and choked up: Dad, wake up, it's been fifty-one years since we were apart, and my son ...... today. A toast for you.
One day in the autumn of 1982, I was teaching in the village primary school, and you came to the school with a small body, and told me that the production team was dividing cattle today, and said that I had an unlucky dream, and I was afraid of bad luck, so I went back to participate in the lot. He also told me not to scratch the cow, because the cow doesn't carry the work.
A few days ago, the brigade tractor station was dissolved, and the tractors were sold as scrap metal. Immediately after the production teams divided the land, my family of ten people divided 20 acres of land. At that time, the people were disheartened, and the keepers knew that these animals were about to be sold to the farmers, and there was also a trough without a trough, and many of the animals lost their fat. For this reason, my father and my mother watched three watches in the middle of the night, and while we were asleep, the old couple burned incense to God, kowtowed and made a wish, hoping that the gods would be gracious, so that our family could share a big bullock that could plow and rake alone.
My luck is really good, I reached out and touched the number of the pink and white old man, this cow is the overlord cow of the production team, as soon as it is set, "no need to raise the whip and work hard". But the price of cattle is also very strong, and we have to come up with 218 yuan after deducting our family's contributions. This was timidity for the prices and people's economic conditions at that time. The father smoked his cigarette pouch for a while and said confidently: "The wool comes out of the sheep." With our cow, it will not only pay our debts for us," he pointed to his three minor brothers with the rod of his cigarette pouch, "In the future, maybe he can bring three pairs of daughters-in-law and children for our family." Immediately, he changed his tone, "I believe that people don't lose cattle, and cattledons don't lose people." ”
From that time on, in my father's eyes, the cow was a treasure and a belongings of our family. In his heart, let alone us, even his babbling grandson does not have this bullock in his heart. During the day, he went to cut grass for the cattle, and in the middle of the night, he fed them carefully. Seeing that the cow was getting fatter and stronger day by day, my father couldn't help but feel a little proud with a cigarette in his mouth, and he said: "When the autumn harvest is completed next year, this cow account will be paid off, so I have to buy a bottle of Yongle Xianjiu and drink it well."
Unexpectedly, the cattle were stolen during the autumn harvest of the second year. The whole family searched everywhere, but there was no news. When the stubble came out, they saw that the land could not be planted, and they wanted to borrow the livestock of their relatives and neighbors, but they either said that they still had a lot of land without the tip of the plow, or that the cattle were tired and sick, and they did not eat grass for a few days. My father was desperate, and he was seriously ill on a rainy day, and I knew that it was a heart disease, so I told my father my thoughts: wheat, plant in three months, harvest in one month, maybe God will call for late wheat harvest next year? There are no livestock, we have people. Father sighed and nodded with difficulty.
The day finally dawned, and my father could eat a bowl of rice. That afternoon, my wife Zhao Xiaoshen and I transferred the class to the relevant teacher, we went to pull the plow with the eldest brother and the eldest sister, the father held the plow handle in the back, he lowered his head, did not say a word, we were deep and shallow and pulled the rope sleeve forward and walked hard, sometimes the plow deviated from him and did not seem to notice, to the sun when the sun was slanting in the west, looking back, the plow was less than three points of the ground, and the depth was different, twisted and twisted. The father stopped the plow and said to his mother, who was struggling behind, "Don't do it, rest it." I'll go back and smoke a bag of cigarettes." We waited for a long time and didn't see my father come out of the intersection of the village, it turned out that he couldn't bear the scene of his family as livestock, and couldn't bear this family that was difficult to return to, so he ended his life with half a bottle of 1059 pesticides. A month later, the mother, who could no longer see the dawn of the family, died of a heart attack due to her grief.
At this moment, I picked up the first glass of wine: Dad, my son told you that just after you left, our country launched a "strike hard" campaign, and the theft gang that stole our cattle was brought to justice, and they were duly punished.
Daddy, drink it! It is the wine of victory over evil in the triumph of social justice.
The second glass of wine and you will surely be happy to drink. I want to tell you and my mother: after you left, our family experienced unimaginable difficulties, and Xiao Ginseng and I stood up in the midst of many difficulties and supported this dilapidated home. Now, this family is thriving in unity and harmony, and the people are prosperous and prosperous. For this reason, the party and the state have given us a lot of honors, our family has been rated as a county, city and provincial civilized family, the top ten most beautiful families in the country, at the same time, Xiao Ginseng was named the fifth national moral model, and now your grandchildren are dedicating their wisdom and talents to the country and the people in various positions.
Daddy, drink it! This is the wine of happiness.
The third glass of wine. I want to tell you that after going through the throes of reform and opening up, our motherland is now standing proudly among the nations of the world. Recently, the CPC Central Committee convened the Third Plenary Session of the 20 th CPC Central Committee, which drew up a new blueprint for our country, which will lead our motherland to a new course. I think that you under the Nine Springs will also be shocked and cry for joy.
Daddy, drink! Drink this wine, and be a ghost is also glorious.

In order to comfort your wishes, this bottle of wine is I found through a friend who made a lot of effort, in the past it was used as a welcome wine in Zhongnanhai, it has been dusty for more than 50 years, come and drink it, I don't want you to become an immortal, I wish you will always be happy in that world!
