When my father and the others first came to the ancient and uninhabited wilderness of the Great Northern Wilderness, they "organized the slopes first and then the nests." There were more than a hundred people in a company, and there were only three or two straw houses. The office

This is a story my father told me.

My father and Uncle Wang came to Beidahuang in a carriage after transferring from the army. The two of them were comrades in the trenches during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and became "comrades on the kang" when they came to Beidahuang.

So what is "a comrade on the kang"? That's what happened. When my father and the others first came to the ancient and uninhabited wilderness of the Great Northern Wilderness, they "organized the slopes first and then the nests." There were more than a hundred people in a company, and there were only three or two straw houses. The officers and soldiers brought their wives from their hometowns one after another. , each household has one room but there are not that many houses. At first, several families lived in one room, like living in a dormitory. Later, when things got better, two families lived in one room. There were a few wooden boards in the middle of the kang. One house lives on one side, and another one lives on the other side of the partition. My parents and Uncle Wang lived on the same kang, and they became "comrades on the same kang."

The two families live in the same house and usually cook together. Eating is easy to do, but sleeping is difficult. Sleeping is not a problem. I can just sleep with my eyes closed on the half-drawn kang in my own home. But life as a couple is very inconvenient. However, they also have their own solution, that is, if they don't work the night shift at night, the two families will take turns going out to "empty the place" day by day. At that time, I said I was going out to visit, but in fact I had nowhere to go. In the summer, I cut an armful of mugwort outside and burned the mosquitoes for a while. In the winter, I could only stand in the ice and snow to keep myself warm.

The most interesting thing is that my father and Uncle Wang also performed a story of "swapping wives" in a unique and interesting way.

At that time, my father and Uncle Wang were working as tractor drivers in the company. One night, the two of them were working the night shift in different fields, driving a tractor to plow the land. The mother and Uncle Wang's wife Aunt Liu were left at home and went to bed early. Uncle Wang came back from get off work first in the middle of the night. That night, the moon was dark and the wind was so high that I couldn't see my fingers. After Uncle Wang entered the house, there were no electric lights at that time, and every household used small oil lamps. Uncle Wang was afraid that lighting the lamp would affect his mother and Aunt Liu's rest. He also worked the night shift most of the night and was very sleepy, so he groped in the dark for the edge of the kang. Tuoba Tuoba climbed onto the kang, lay down and fell asleep. He never expected that he got on the wrong kang and ran to my kang to sleep next to his mother.

My father came back later. After my father entered the house, he lit a lamp and groped along the edge of the kang to reach the half of the kang in my house. He stretched out his hand and touched the feet of two people. He thought he had gone the wrong way. He was also sleepy from working the night shift, so he He quickly went to the other half of the kang and got on the kang. He didn't know that he was actually sleeping on Aunt Liu's kang.

It was Aunt Liu's turn to make breakfast that day. Aunt Liu got up at dawn. When she sat up and took a look, she suddenly found her father lying beside her, sleeping on his side. She screamed "Ouch", and then she stretched out her arms in confusion. He kicked his father's butt hard. My father got up in a daze. When he saw clearly that the person sitting next to him was Aunt Liu, he picked up his clothes and jumped off the kang in panic, saying, "How did this happen? How did this happen?" Bian ran away in embarrassment.

The actions of father and Aunt Liu also woke up Uncle Wang and mother. Uncle Wang is a slower person. When he found out that he and his mother were sleeping on the same kang, he dressed in a leisurely and leisurely manner. He also reproached his mother, who lowered her head and snickered in embarrassment, saying, "I'm sorry. Blame me for everything, otherwise your family Cui would not have gotten off the wrong kang!

When they all got off the kang, when mother saw Aunt Liu, the two young women first looked at each other and covered their mouths in laughter, and then you dragged me I pulled you to laughter. My father pretended to be serious and asked Uncle Wang, how did you get on the wrong bed? Uncle Wang said unconvinced, I went to the wrong school, I went to the wrong school, you shouldn't have followed me to the wrong school? The next two people burst into laughter.

When it was time to eat, my father and Uncle Wang were still unfinished. Uncle Wang teased his father and said, "I went to the wrong kang and returned to the wrong kang. Your family and I didn't do anything!" Then he pointed at his mother and said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask her?" My mother suppressed her laughter and said to Uncle Wang, "Shut that stinky mouth of yours!" My father immediately counterattacked and said, "You didn't do anything, just like I did."Then he pointed at Aunt Liu. If you don't believe me, ask her. Aunt Liu laughed and scolded, "You two don't have a good thing!" Then they laughed together.

My father was a very noisy person. From then on, he no longer called Aunt Liu Xiao Liu or Old Liu, nor did he call her by her first name. Instead, he called Aunt Liu "the one on the Kang", which he called her all his life.
