Wujiawan is a little closer to the county seat, and the three of them stopped and stopped all the way, and arrived at the county seat in the middle of the afternoon.

Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong broke up with the projectionist Master Zhang at the gate of the county post office, and Master Zhang wanted to go back to the county cinema to hand over the business, and everyone had the opportunity to meet at the cinema and watch free movies.

"Yuemin, I'll send a letter. When Zheng Tong saw the post office, he thought about sending a letter to his parents.

Everyone laughs and plays during the day, but at night. Many people write letters with flashlights because they don't know how many tears have been shed because they are homesick.

Zhong Yuemin also bought stationery and stamps to write to his father, Yuan Jun, Zhang Haiyang and Qian Fatzi, who had last written a letter when he had just arrived in northern Shaanxi for a month.

"Zheng Tong, do you have a pen?" Zhong Yuemin realized that he had forgotten to bring a pen.

"Yes. Zheng Tong took out a pen from his schoolbag and handed it to Zhong Yuemin, "Here." ”

Zhong Yuemin took the pen and prepared to write a letter, but found that he couldn't write, and he still couldn't do it after a few shakes.

"Zheng Tong, the pen can't get ink, why don't you give me the ink?" Zheng Tong pretends to be an intellectual, and the average guy is quite complete.

Zheng Tong rummaged in the schoolbag for a moment before remembering that the ink had been poured out, and the inkwell was given to the old Taoist priest to make a kerosene lamp.

Zhong Yuemin had no choice but to borrow ink from the staff at the post office.

"Where did you two come from?" was a girl who borrowed ink from them, looking at them with some curiosity.

"How do you know that we are educated youth?"

"In addition to the public family, the people who came to send the letter are educated youths, and besides, the two of you don't talk like locals. The girl said of course.

Zhong Yuemin felt that his question was a little redundant, so he had to smile: "We are from Beijing." ”

"There are really a lot of educated youths from Beijing, and we have received a lot of packages and letters from Beijing recently!"

"Hey, did you send a letter to Ishikawa Village? We are educated youths from Ishikawa Village. Zheng Tong asked expectantly.

The girl was glad to help them, "I can check it for you." What's your name?"

The two gave their names, and the girl went to another room.

Zhong Yuemin's writing of the letter, the girl has already checked it, and she really wants to send the letter to Ishikawa Village.

"There are many letters written to you, Zhong Yuemin has three letters, and Zheng Tong has two. ”

"Can you give it to us?" Zheng Tong asked.

The girl said, "Okay, have you brought your household registration book?"

"We have a letter of introduction, is this okay?" When Zhong Yuemin went out, just in case, he asked Chang Gui to open a letter of introduction.

"Okay, show it to me. After the girl had examined it, she gave them the letter.

Zhong Yuemin's letter was sent to him by Zhong Shanyue, Zhou Xiaobai, and Zhang Haiyang.

Zhong Shanyue's letter was not much content, replied to his last letter, told him not to worry, and then told him to pay attention to his body, and asked if he was used to life in northern Shaanxi, and remitted ten yuan with the letter, worried that he would not have enough money to spend.

Then Zhong Yuemin opened Zhang Haiyang's letter again, Zhang Haiyang really had an accident, he beat the company instructor in the army, was returned by the army, and then went to Yunnan to cut the queue, and only wrote a letter to Zhong Yuemin after settling there.

Zhang Haiyang mentioned Zhou Changli and Three Eyes in the letter, these two are popular figures in Xishuangbanna educated youth, when Zhang Haiyang arrived there, they had already crossed the border to Myanmar to join the army, and I heard that they also became platoon commanders, I don't know if it's true or not.

Zheng Tong had already read two letters at this time, which were sent by his parents separately, and his father's situation was a little bad, and he had been sent to a farm in Hebei when the letters were sent. His mother was in a better condition and went back to school, but she couldn't be a teacher and did some logistical work of sweeping and fetching water, but her salary was restored.

"Yuemin, when is this day the beginning?" Zheng Tong was a little depressed, "The New Year is coming soon, but the family is in the north and south." ”

Zhong Yuemin patted Zheng Tong on the shoulder, the young man who had no heart and lungs to fight around has grown up.

"Send the letter, let's finish our work, let's go back for the New Year!" Zhong Yuemin sealed the written letter and threw it into the mailbox.

Zheng Tong nodded, put away the letter in his hand, and saw that Zhong Yuemin still had an unopened letter in his hand, and said, "Zhou Xiaobai wrote to you again?"

"Hmm!" Zhong Yuemin received the envelope into his bag.

Zheng Tong was a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Take it apart and take a look, this is the fifth letter written by Zhou Xiaobai." ”

Seeing that Zhong Yuemin was silent, Zheng Tong said: "I have always wondered, why did you choose Qinling? Originally, I shouldn't have talked about this matter, but Zhou Xiaobai kept writing. I still can't help but ask you for her. ”

"There is no why, how can there be a reason for such a thing as love, Qin Ling and I have taken a fancy to each other, it's fine. ”

"What about Xiaobai, why have you been avoiding her?" asked Zheng Tong.

"From the beginning, I thought Zhou Xiaobai was my sister, and I never thought of falling in love with her. Zhong Yuemin gave a reason.

"You ······" Zheng Tong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Yuemin, he didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

······

The two of them went out and went to the compound of the county party committee.

The old man who guarded the door still knew them, and directly told them that Ma Guiping went to the city for a meeting, and he didn't know when he would come back.

"Is Luo Jinlan from the county party committee office here?" Zhong Yuemin, who was originally counting on Ma Guiping to make peace, had to go directly to Luo Jinlan.

The old man couldn't remember the name and didn't know who this person was.

"It's just a woman with short hair and not very white skin. Zhong Yuemin described it to him.

"Oh, you're talking about Secretary Luo, she's only been here for a long time, but I don't know her name. Only then did the janitor understand who they were looking for.

"Is she in the county?" asked Zhong Yuemin.

The old man said: "Officer Luo is not here, I saw her go out with her bag yesterday, maybe she went home for the New Year." ”

Zhong Yuemin's heart sank and asked, "Do you know where her home is?"

"I really don't know about this, but her family is definitely not in the local area. ”

Bidding farewell to the porter, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong were not in a good mood, and this time they came to the county to pounce on nothing, and they didn't accomplish anything.

"Yuemin, can we always toss like this, you say you want to build a silt dam, I will accompany you, you say pour cement, I will also help you. Zheng Tong was a little resentful, "But we haven't left anything good until now!"

"I really thought that the vast countryside was promising, but it turned out to be a lie, the food in the village can't even feed the people, and now more than half of the people in the village have run out to beg for food, what hope can there be?" Zheng Tong continued.

"I don't want to toss either, but what do we really want, what if we don't toss?" Zhong Yuemin was also a little tired, these five months have been longer than five years, and those who don't know still think that Zhong Yuemin is a fake crossing.

Even the most basic food and clothing have not been solved, and there is not even a shadow of the promised crossing to the peak of life, and there is really no more hard work.
