1987 My Era

1987, December 8.

Before dawn, Li Heng got up and packed his things.

Actually, there is nothing to pack. I had already packed my clothes, documents, admission letters and other items last night. Now I just need to check them again carefully to make sure nothing is missed.

Tian Run'e arrived earlier than her son, and the table was filled with steaming delicious food.

She wouldn't be able to see her son for half a year, so she really spent a lot of money this time. She put all the food on the table, anything her son liked to eat and anything available at home.

While eating, Li Heng asked his father, "Dad, how is the effect of your plaster?"

Li Jianguo said in a good mood: "It's OK. The pain has eased compared to before. But I haven't finished applying it yet. There's more than half left."

As long as it works, Li Heng felt relieved and said, "After we finish applying the plaster, we will go to the capital and cure it thoroughly as soon as possible."

Seeing that Tian Run'e couldn't save face, Li Lan interrupted and said, "Of course you have to go. When it comes to life, face is nothing. I will go with Dad."

Seeing her children express their opinions again, Tian Run'e said, "We need to make arrangements sooner."

Li Heng said, "Mom, there's no need to make any special arrangements. Just go there. Your precious son is not short of money. He can buy whatever he needs there. It's very convenient."

Now that Li Heng is a man with a huge fortune of over 100,000 yuan, the Li family feels much more at ease. After so many years of hardship, they finally don't have to worry about money anymore.

Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e were both grateful and relieved to receive their son's promise.

The feeling is: the two of them have lived to a ripe old age and are both intellectuals, but in the end, everything has to rely on a son who is not even 20 years old to support the family, and they feel very guilty.

The relief is that their son is sensible and talented. Not only has he made up for his past losses, but he has also achieved a reversal of his reputation. The couple hears flattering words wherever they go. They feel so comfortable in their hearts. There is nothing better than this.

Halfway through the meal, my eldest sister and brother-in-law came over in the dark.

Li Heng looked at his eldest sister and said, "Sister, why don't you take a rest? I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't call you to eat. Mom even saved some food for you."

"I'm here to see you off, little brother. Mom said you won't be back until the end of the year, and we won't see you for a long time." Although the eldest sister didn't have much skill, she still took out a brand new sweater sincerely to keep him warm in winter.

In Li Heng's eyes, the sweater looked a bit rustic, but he still happily took it: "Sister, it's summer now, and you're already thinking about winter. When did you start knitting it?"

Seeing her brother happy, Li Yan was happy too: "I bought some wool for you during the college entrance examination and knitted one for you and your second sister."

As she spoke, the elder sister took out a red sweater.

Li Lan hesitated for a moment and took it.

Zhang Zhiyong is here. His bastard dad is driving a hand-crank tractor, and his mom is on it, too.

Li Heng put down his dishes, washed his hands with soap, then picked up his bag and walked out.

Seeing this, the whole Li family followed him out.

Li Heng climbed into the truck bed using his hands and feet, turned around and said goodbye: "Grandma, Dad and Mom, I'm leaving, please take care of yourself."

"Oh, okay." Grandma and Tian Run'e suddenly had moist eyes and looked at him blankly.

Li Jianguo got on the tractor, and his elder brother-in-law also took him to the station.

Li Heng smiled and said to the elder sister who came over and held his hand: "Sister, please let go. I'm going to study. I'm not not coming back. Why are you crying?"

"Brother, please take good care of yourself when you go out. Wear more clothes when it's cold. Remember to write home if you have any problems." Li Yan was not good at hiding her feelings. She said a lot, all of which were words of concern.

"Sister, I know, don't worry." Li Heng patted the back of her hand, trying to comfort her.

After some greetings, the tractor finally started moving.

Watching her brother leave, Li Lan suddenly felt reluctant to let him go.

This was the first time since she could remember that she felt such a sense of separation from her brother. She didn't know why it happened, but it was as if she had lost her backbone. The Li family had undergone tremendous changes in the past six months, becoming a well-known family in the area, giving her the confidence to go wherever she went. Wasn't it all thanks to her brother?

Li Lan took a deep breath and stared towards the village entrance until the tractor completely disappeared around the corner.

Unlike the sadness of parting among the villagers, the group of people were talking and laughing on the road and soon arrived at the station.

"You are going to college." The driver and the conductor were old acquaintances of them, and especially when they knew that they were already college students, they became even more enthusiastic when they met them.

"Yes, let's catch the train today." Li Heng responded and followed Zhang Zhiyong onto the medium-term bus.

"Dad, brother-in-law, uncle and aunt, you guys go back. Lao Yong and I have traveled across most of China. Going to school is a piece of cake. Don't worry." Li Heng found a seat and sat down, then leaned over and talked to the four people outside.

It's no wonder that the four of them were not worried at all. Unlike other parents who personally accompanied their children to school, the elders of the two families didn't even have the intention to do so.

Let me ask you, in Shangwan Village or Qianzhen, who has traveled to more places than Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong? Who has seen more of the world?

No!

So, don't bother them.

The mid-term bus started, and Li Heng was a little surprised that he didn't wait for Yang Cheng. Didn't he say he was also going to college in Shanghai?

Could it be the train ticket for tomorrow?
With doubts, Li Heng closed his eyes and began to gather his strength. He still had to sit on the train for more than 20 hours, which was not easy to endure. He had to prepare now. At about pm, the two arrived at the train station. The driver was very kind and took them directly this time, saving them the time of changing trains.

"School starts today and there are many thieves and pickpockets. Lao Yong, keep an eye on your luggage while I go make a phone call."

As soon as they got off the car, Li Heng told him this when he had almost finished vomiting.

"Just go ahead, damn it! I'm really mad right now, if anyone dares to bump into me, I'll stab him in the head."

Zhang Zhiyong sat down on the suitcase, took out a folding knife with his right hand and started playing with it in circles.

Li Heng didn't want to argue with this idiot, and found a public telephone as quickly as possible. However, there were 4 people in line in front of him, and he waited for more than 10 minutes before it was his turn.

After hesitating for a while, he first called his English teacher's home, but the call didn't go through after two tries. This made the people in the queue behind him anxious, and they kept swearing.

"Are you going to fight me or not? If not, get out of here. I'm still waiting to fuck your mother..."

Seeing that the curses were getting more and more unpleasant, including the word "mother", Li Heng narrowed his eyes, turned back and kicked him hard.

"Damn it! You dare to hit me? I'm going to fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations and kill you today." The young man was kicked to the ground unexpectedly. He got up and bared his teeth, ready to fight.

Li Heng had seen this kind of thing many times in junior high school, so how could he tolerate it?

He took a few meteor steps and punched the young man in the face. He had practiced professionally in his previous life, and he had a lot of experience in fighting in junior high school. How could the other party avoid it in such a hurry? A punch hit his face, and he was dizzy.

"You are so awesome, but your mouth is so foul, you keep saying your mother, I want to kill you, come on! Try to act like that in front of me again! F*ck!"

Li Heng cursed "Fuck" and rushed over angrily. Without waiting for the idiot to come to his senses, he grabbed the young man's hair with both hands and pulled it down hard. He followed up with his right foot and gave a fierce blow to his cheekbone!
Then he slapped me a dozen times in the face like a sheep.

Each slap was louder and more violent than the last. The young man saw stars and begged for mercy. His head was beaten like a pig and the onlookers were silenced.

"You bastard! Where is your arrogance just now? Come on! Try to be tough with your words again." Li Heng was so angry. He felt so sorry for his own mother, so how could he let outsiders scold him?
With another fierce blow, the right knee hit the young man's cheekbone.

The young man immediately cried out in pain: "Master! I was wrong, please let me go, just treat me like a fart, wuwu."

The people of Shaoxing have been tough since ancient times. When a person with a bad mouth gets beaten up, the people around him won't even bother to stop the fight. The brave ones will even cheer loudly.

The young man left and Li Heng continued to make the call. This time it was quiet and the people behind him lined up orderly.

Unable to get through to his English teacher’s home, Li Heng called Sun Manning’s home instead.

"Jingle Bell"

I was lucky this time and the phone went through as soon as the bell rang.

"Hello, who is this?" The voice on the other end was that of an elderly woman.

Li Heng recognized that it was Sun Manning's grandmother and immediately greeted her warmly: "Good afternoon, grandma. I am Sun Manning's classmate. We agreed to go to Fudan University together today. Has she left yet?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you Li Heng?"

No wonder the other party knew him. It was just that he was too diligent in visiting his English teacher's house. In addition, he had a good relationship with Sun Manning and they met many times, so how could he not distinguish their voices?

"Yes, I'm Li Heng."

"It's you."

Grandma Sun's voice immediately became kind, and she said, "Manning has been out for quite a while. I heard that he is going to Hongqi Road to meet up with his classmates. Calculating the time, he should be almost at the train station. Have you agreed where to meet?"

"Yes, at the entrance of the waiting room." Li Heng replied.

Grandma Sun said, "Then go quickly, maybe they have already arrived."

"Oh, okay, thanks grandma."

After hanging up the phone, Li Heng asked, "Boss, how much?"

The boss looked at the time written on the paper, calculated it and said, "You played for 1 minute and 38 seconds, two dollars."

Li Heng took out 2 yuan: "Here!"

After Li Heng left, the people behind him began to discuss: "No wonder he was so confident in beating people up, he turned out to be a college student."

"Yes, he is so good-looking and so fierce in fighting. I am trembling with fear at heart. I really can't tell."

"What's so fierce about that? You should be fierce when dealing with that kind of person! If it were me, I would beat him until he kneels down and kowtows!"

"."

Crossing the road again, Li Heng called Zhang Zhiyong, "Let's go, Sun Manning and Mai Sui might be waiting for us, let's go in first."

"Uncle Heng, it was so satisfying when you beat someone up just now! If you weren't so awesome, I would have run over and stabbed you with a knife." Zhang Zhiyong danced with joy, expressing that he enjoyed watching the show very much.

"Okay, okay, put the knife away. It's dazzling." When they were almost at the door, Li Heng kicked him to remind him.

ps: I’m really stuck today, sorry.
