Many years later, when the friends in the compound have scattered all over the world, and they have already started a family and have their own children, they still remember the lively collective Spring Festival in 1965, remember the white-clothed teenagers singing on stage, and even some people will unconsciously beautify it, thinking that it is the last warmth and harmony before the frenzy comes.

"Kui Yong, come out, Yuemin is here. ”

Li Kuiyong heard the fucking shouts, and quickly ran out of the house, and said excitedly: "Yuemin, why are you here, come into the house and sit down." "Don't sit down, I've brought you something, you take it." Zhong Yuemin handed Li Kuiyong a large paper bag hanging on the top of the car faucet.

Li Kuiyong took it and sniffed it: "Hey, it's so fragrant." It's burning**, where did you get this kind of good thing. Then he shouted into the house: "Kui Yuan, Kui Yuan, come here, Brother Yuemin has brought you something delicious, take it back and give it to your younger brothers and sisters, remember to leave a little for your parents." Li Kuiyong's younger brother Kuiyuan rushed out and happily took the paper bag back.

"I bought it with my labor, and I kept a little for myself, so I thought I would send it to you. Zhong Yuemin motioned for Li Kuiyong to go out for a walk.

Li Kuiyong said as he walked: "Yuemin, thank you for thinking of me." To tell you the truth, our family weighed half a catty of meat during the New Year, and no one got a single chopstick. My younger siblings are all hungry, and I guess I can fight now. ”

"You're welcome, I'll get you a little more next time. Zhong Yuemin hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here today, mainly to tell you something, I'm going to transfer next semester." ”

Li Kuiyong exclaimed: "Ah! Yuemin, why do you want to leave." The squad leader is gone, and you are gone······"

"I also thought about it for a long time before I decided. I'm going to transfer to Yuying School next semester, which is close to my home. ”

"Yuying School, that's a school for the children of high-ranking cadres, Yuemin, what is your family for?" Li Kuiyong didn't expect that there would be a bigger "surprise" behind.

"My dad used to be a division commander, and later he was transferred to BJ and joined the organization department. I arrived at BJ late, so I transferred to the class and became a classmate with you. Kui Yong, I really treat you as a brother, I didn't hide it from you, but I was not embarrassed to say that my father was an official. Zhong Yuemin looked at Li Kuiyong sincerely.

Li Kuiyong exhaled deeply: "To be honest, I am a child of the common people, a skewer of alleys, I have always looked down on the children in the courtyard the most, just relying on the power of my parents, one by one, full of superiority, I never thought of being friends with them." However, Yuemin, you are different, I know that you really regard me as a friend and brother in your heart, and I can't snub you and break your heart just because you are from the compound. ”

Zhong Yuemin's eyes were a little moist, and he stretched out his hand: "We have always been good brothers!" "Good brothers for life!" Li Kuiyong held his hand and said seriously.

Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong walked together for a while, and when they finally broke up, Zhong Yuemin said: "Kuiyong, study hard and live well." ”

Leaving Li Kuiyong confused, Zhong Yuemin got on his bicycle and walked away.

Zhong Yuemin originally wanted to gather some like-minded people through Li Kuiyong in case of future troubles, but Zhong Yuemin had no confidence, and he had no way to fight against the torrent of the times. This is an era in which everyone believes in revolution, and the ideological struggle is far beyond Zhong Yuemin's imagination, and it is a cruel form of war that can transcend law, morality, friendship and family affection.

Zhong Yuemin's mind is very heavy, he knows that everything will leap towards the darkness, but he is powerless to stop it, because there is no enemy, when the powder keg is ignited, no one can control it, and those who think they can use this energy will eventually be eaten by this power.

Yuying School was established in Xibaipo before the liberation, is a school directly under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, moved into BJ in 1949, and later part of the middle school went out to become Yuying Middle School, just across the road.

Zhong Yuemin followed Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun and Wang Laosan to the school gate early this morning, the door was crowded, today is the day of the new semester report, most of the people in the school are children in the courtyard, many people are dressed in army green, the older children come by bicycle or leg, and the younger ones are sent by the orderlies.

At this time, there was a sudden noise of bicycle bells, Zhong Yuemin turned his head, only to see a large group of students riding 28 bars, wearing military coats, and wearing dogskin general hats, whistling past, and rushing into the opposite Yuying Middle School.

"See, the leader in a yellow tweed coat is called Li Yuanchao, his father is a senior cadre, and he is a man of the year in Yuying Middle School, CW Road Middle School, and Taiping Road Middle School. There are a large number of people under his command who are willing to listen to him, and there are many friends, and the scene is not small. Yuan Jun looked over there and said.

Zheng Tong also interjected: "Li Yuanchao relies on the power of his family, and he usually likes to make peace with others, and he has never seen him do anything. ”

"That's also the ability, the art of war is cloudy: a good fighter, no wisdom, no bravery. Zhong Yuemin said coldly beside him, turned around and said, "Let's go, we will meet him sooner or later." ”

In the original work, Zhong Yuemin suffered a great loss from Li Yuanchao, Li Yuanchao belongs to the exquisite egoist, and may have some idealism and heroism in the early days, but in the later years, any revolution, ideals, and friends can be used by him, just depending on the size of the exchange value. But this time, Zhong Yuemin believed that he didn't have to worry about Li Yuanchao anymore.

Yuying School is indeed very different from the previous Hutong Primary School, the class is all the children of cadres, and the status and privilege of their parents give them a great sense of superiority, and they can still get along with classmates of the same class on an equal footing, but they are full of contempt for the children of ordinary people. At the same time, the background of the second generation of red roots and red seedlings has filled them with a sense of mission, they are the seeds of revolution, they are born to exist for revolution, they must be revolutionized everywhere, they are more willing to discuss politics and discuss the international situation.

Thanks to Zhong Yuemin's father's status and his background in the revolution in 1935, he was quickly accepted by his classmates, and even under the advocacy of Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun, Zhong Yuemin's skills were also rumored to be miraculous, and there were faint signs of becoming an opinion leader.

Zhong Yuemin started his soy sauce career again at Yuying School, still deserting in class, reading novels, and sleeping. But it didn't take long for this idle life to be broken, the city mathematics competition training team sent a letter to coordinate Zhong Yuemin's time to participate in the training, and the school teacher knew that this lazy high-ranking cadre Zhong Yuemin was the first place in the district mathematics competition last year, and he was a mathematical genius. The teachers blamed themselves deeply for not being able to recognize this pearl.

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect that he would become a man of the hour not long after he first arrived in Yuying, he was a wrestling champion, the first in mathematics, and he was handsome, according to Zheng Tong, he simply did not leave a way for the majority of male compatriots to live.
