Chapter Sixty-Eight: Orchid Flowers
Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun went to visit
"Old man, is that Ishikawa Village over there?" Zhong Yuemin pointed to the village road across the ditch.
"Yes, there are still ten miles to go. ”
Zheng Tong lamented: "Isn't it just across the ditch, how can there be more than ten miles of land?"
"You look close to this ditch, but if you want to get there, you have to take a long detour. Du Laohan said with a smile.
Zhong Yuemin said: "This may be the reason for the appearance of Xintianyou here in northern Shaanxi, it is not easy for people to speak across the ditch, and it may be clear and effortless to sing." ”
"You city babies also know Xintian Youli!" Du Laohan said happily.
"My dad used to stay in northern Shaanxi, and I often listened to him hum, but unfortunately I couldn't sing. ”
"Lamb belly hand towel,
Three Dao Blue,
It's easy for us to meet,
It's hard to talk,
One on that mountain,
One in that ditch,
Let's not talk,
Just beckon
······”
"Haha, true image, can't you just beckon across the ditch!" Zheng Tongle said.
"This is Xintianyou, it's so good, let's sing another one. Jiang Biyun sighed.
Zhong Yuemin was also a little fascinated, listening to Xintianyou on the yellow earth, he felt that his blood was connected to the earth, and the experience of listening to pop music was completely different from before.
Other educated youths also begged: "Old man, sing one more." ”
"The blue line (that) blue line,
Lange English (of) color,
Gave birth to an orchid flower,
Truly love the dead.
(the) field seedlings in the five grains,
Counting the sorghum high,
Daughter of the Thirteen Provinces (Yo),
Just count (the) orchid flowers.
In the first month of the year, (that) said that the matchmaker,
Order in February, pay a lot of money in March, and welcome in April.
······”
"Master, are you bringing BJ's educated youth back?" A child with a shaved pot head came up from a distance at the entrance of the village.
"I'm back, call my brother and sister. Du Laohan said to everyone again: "This is the grandson, Hanwa." ”
Hanwa looked at the educated youths timidly, and couldn't open her mouth for a long time.
Du Laohan slapped the back of Hanwa's head, "Melon cowardice!"
Zhong Yuemin pulled Hanwa over and asked with a smile: "You are Hanwa, how old are you today?"
Hanwa wrenched her fingers and pondered for a long time: "Five and a half years old." ”
"That's good, do you know your name?"
"Hanwa. ”
"What's your name?"
Hanwa looked at her grandfather in confusion, he never knew that he should have another big name.
Du Laohan replied: "Country baby, just give a name to make a living, you don't need a big name." ”
"Then Hanwa should have a scientific name when she goes to school, you can't always be called Hanwa, right?" Zhong Yuemin asked.
"What kind of school do you go to, the village school hasn't opened for many years, and the sample that Hanwa can count is in the middle. Du Laohan said disapprovingly.
Wang Hong asked puzzled: "Why is the school in the village closed?"
"Every year there is a drought, we can't get food, and we can't afford to support teachers. Du Laohan said softly.
With that, the cart entered the village, and every house in Ishikawa Village was a cave dug on the dirt slope.
The villagers also stood on the threshing floor, looking curiously at the young people who came from BJ.
When Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong settled in Shichuan Village, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun also enlisted in the army and were training in the recruit company.
Both of them grew up in the army compound, and they are very familiar with this set of the army, and they can adapt to it quickly.
In particular, Zhou Xiaobai trains very seriously and is often praised. However, she has always been in a bad mood, and she is often in a daze when she rests.
"I'm still thinking about that Zhong Yuemin!" Luo Yun appeared from behind coldly.
"Scared me to death! Why are you so bad!"
Luo Yun said aggrievedly: "I don't care about you yet, what is so good about that Zhong Yuemin, it is worth you to be depressed for him every day." ”
"He's a villain!" Zhou Xiaobai said hatefully.
"That's it, you fainted because of him, but he was still indifferent, and made a ten-year covenant, obviously to fool you. Luo Yun felt that Zhou Xiaobai must have been given ecstasy by Zhong Yuemin, otherwise how could he be so stupid.
"Luo Yun, I understand what you said, but I just can't help but think about him, how he lives in northern Shaanxi, whether he can eat enough, whether he is cold or not, and the habit of not being able to live ······" The more Zhou Xiaobai spoke, the lower his voice became, and he was about to cry.
Luo Yun felt unreasonable: "Xiaobai, are you evil! He treated you like that, and you still think of him like this!"
"I don't know what evil I fell into, I train hard every day just to not want him, but as soon as I stop, I think about the scene with him, and even dream about him. Luo Yun, what do you think I'm going to do?"
"Are you still the Zhou Xiaobai I know? What a proud person you used to be, how can you become like this for a Zhong Yuemin now!"
Zhou Xiaobai sat on the ground, hugged his head and said bitterly: "I don't know, it seems that as soon as it comes to Zhong Yuemin, I lose my mind." ”
"Didn't you make an agreement for ten years? When the time comes, you will definitely let Zhong Yuemin come to you obediently. Luo Yun found that Zhong Yuemin's ten-year covenant was not useless.
"But I can't bear it for a day, when I joined the army, I wrote to him every day, but I didn't receive a reply!" Zhou Xiaobai suddenly jumped up and said: "I'll go to northern Shaanxi to find him, I want to follow her all the time!"
Luo Yun hurriedly got up and pulled Zhou Xiaobai, "My aunt, you're crazy! You're still in the recruit company, you're deserting!"
"Then I'll apply for the general line of discharge! I'm no longer in the army, I'm going to join the queue with Zhong Yuemin!"
"Xiaobai, calm down, Zhong Yuemin is not worthy of you to do this for him, you will ruin yourself! I beg you!" Luo Yun's anxious tears flowed out.
Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun blankly, and suddenly hugged her and cried.
"Welcome BJ's intellectual youth to Emen Village to join the queue and settle down!" a middle-aged man in a blue tunics on his shoulders greeted him warmly, "E, the village party secretary of Ishikawa Village, his name is Changgui." ”
"Oh, thank you Chang Zhishu, we are new to the young people, and we need your care and support in the future. "The others are still over there, Zhong Yuemin can only go up, people are the head snakes of the ground, if the face of Chang Zhishu falls to the ground, I am afraid that life will be difficult in the future.
Chang Gui really felt very face-saving, and the educated youths who came from BJ were polite to him, "You are tired all the way, let Du Laohan take you to the place where you live, quickly put down your things first, and rest." ”
