Wonderful since 1984

Chapter 2 The sky is blue now
'I don't know that I am a guest in my dream, and the boat is full of clear dreams pressing the galaxy'

On the hillside in May in Yangchun, the shade of pagoda tree is covered, the grass is green, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of pagoda tree flowers.

Below the hillside is a large rice field, and the tender green seedlings are swaying in the water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds
At the end of the rice field is a large factory area, with thick chimneys, tall factory buildings, dense living quarters, and trucks running on the asphalt road.
Yu Tian sat on the rock under the tree, resting his chin in his hand, staring into the distance, the dappled sunlight shone on his extremely beautiful face, his expression became a little unpredictable.

Ever since he discovered that he had returned to the past, to be precise, time went back to February 1984, 2, when he was 6 years old, he seemed to have become a fragile object that needs to be handled with care.
The unsatisfactory life once made him fantasize about "if life can be repeated." But it really happened, and it is difficult for him to let go of the family and the past in a time and space
Perhaps, only when you lose something do you think of cherishing it. There is nothing more sad than this in life.

Joy is huge, looking in the mirror, that face that is both familiar and unfamiliar, fresher than any little fresh meat, makes him ecstatic!
While reminiscing about the past in a trance, his father and mother who came back from get off work gave him another blow to his heart.
In another time and space, his father, Yu Guoqiang, who has passed away for a year, is now appearing in front of him with vigorous steps.
It turned out that my dad was handsome when he was young, 45 years old, still in the prime of life;
In the blurred vision, I saw my mother Li Qing with rosy complexion and black hair, compared with the old and skinny figure in my mind
Yu Tian gritted his teeth tightly, controlling himself not to cry.
Tears are already pouring out
For Yu Tian, ​​the great changes of vicissitudes of life are far from enough to describe "sorrows and joys";
Three months have passed, and he is slowly adapting to the change. He often hypnotizes himself, treating his life in another time and space as a dream.

Yu Tian took a long breath and let it out slowly, his eyes swept across the factory area again.

The factory area in front of him is a second-tier unit under Weihe Oilfield, and there are memories of his home and childhood in it.

It used to be the seat of the first generation headquarters of the Weihe Petroleum Exploration Bureau, about 70 years ago.

Why did you choose this wilderness at that time? It’s funny to say that in that era when grain was the key, all townships were unwilling to provide land, and they disliked occupying land and affecting grain production.

At that time, it was still a reed marsh full of puddles, and the rice fields were transformed by the first generation of oilfield workers and their families in ten years.

When I was a child, I and my friends often played hide-and-seek in the straw stacks on the threshing floor. The sky was blue and the sky was full of stars at night.
Yu Tian looked up at the sky, and the sky was very blue now.It’s just that there is no threshing ground, and the rice fields have been handed over to the nearby farms, and the threshing ground has become the current technical school for workers.

Now, the factory area is in its heyday. There are more than 1 workers and family members. There are dozens of workshops, and there are hospitals, shops, food stations, cinemas, schools, and kindergartens. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

The residential area is a row of bungalows with yards, each row has 6 households, and it has become dilapidated after more than ten years. In the past two years, four-story tube buildings have been built. After more than ten years, the bungalows will be completely eliminated. Leisure squares, Artificial lakes, parks.
In 2000, the rigid system caused the product quality and price to be inferior to private enterprises, and it was losing money every year. First, the auto repair and internal trailer workshops moved to other secondary units, and then the parts workshop
After many years of demolition, layoffs, and retirement, the remaining employees and family members are less than 1000, most of whom are retired old people. Schools, hospitals, and other supporting facilities have all been closed.

My family is one of the earliest residents in the factory. I heard from my mother that they lived in tents when they first came here.

My father and mother were originally from the rural areas of eastern Shandong. 58 years ago, my father ate big pot meals and sweet potato porridge in the commune. Workers, the key is to have enough to eat, so they moved here and there to borrow some fare money, said goodbye to their mother who had just been married for three days, and sneaked away to Xinjiang Province with a few cousins ​​(at that time, the rural population was not allowed without approval. quasi-leaving hometown), successfully entered the KLMY Oilfield Machinery Factory and became a worker.

In 60, my father went back to Shandong and brought his mother and aunt with him. When the time was right, they all ate public food.

In 69, we developed the Weihe Oilfield and recruited skilled workers from across the country. My father signed up because he thought it was close to his hometown in Ludong.

Yu Tian is the third child in the family, the eldest brother Yu Shan and the second brother Yu Dong, both born in Xinjiang Province, they are one year apart, and the second brother is 5 years older than Yu Tian.The eldest brother, Yu Shan, is honest and dull, and doesn’t study well. He graduated from junior high school and went to a technical school in the oil field. He has been working in the drilling team for more than a year now. During the period, he also injured people in group fights and was detained. He almost caught up with the crackdown in 83, and now he is an old driller.

As the saying goes: "The old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man", compared with the two elder brothers, Yu Tian really has never suffered. He raised a few chickens in the yard. There is cleaning of the chicken coop; the second elder brother who does not have a tall shoulder pole is responsible for carrying water from the house, and he can't do anything by himself, and eats the most eggs.

Dual-career families are definitely wealthy families in this era, even though they cannot eat meat once a week.There is no way. The whole country is short of supplies. It is the dream of most Chinese people to have enough food and clothing, public housing, and free medical care.

Yu Tian was smart and cute since he was a child, and adults all liked him.

I went to kindergarten and had two baby relatives.

In elementary school, teacher Sha, the teacher in charge, treated him like a son
Later, "probably from this period," Yu Tian thought with a little emotion, "life began to go downhill, hey"

He was obsessed with martial arts and romance novels, his eyes became short-sighted, and his grades declined.

Lived in high school, studied hard, learned to play go, play basketball, write misty poems, smoke and drink, did not keep up with the nutrition of the food, became thin and tall, not as good-looking as when I was a child.

Just passed the undergraduate course in the college entrance examination, admired the apricot blossom misty rain in Jiangnan, and volunteered to go to a provincial chemical engineering college in Jiangnan Province.

The school is not good, he doesn’t like it, the major is boring, and he doesn’t like it either;
Jiangnan is good, the mottled ancient alleys by the canal, the slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return, the drizzle like cow hair can only moisten the feelings
In that year, he wrote a few poems, the contents of which have long been forgotten. He only remembers that he was dressed in white and was proud of his life with a smile.
A haze appeared in Yu Tian's eyes.
In the second semester, I failed two make-up exams and was repeated.

Since then, sunshine, applause, all good things have gone away from him. He abandons himself, fights and drinks too much, and his temperament becomes sensitive and fickle. Family affection and friendship have become a burden that he dare not bear.
Graduation, job assignment, marriage, part-time job, starting a company, going all the way, through wind and rain, I have seen a rainbow.
