Unwilling to take another look at the couple and the yellow and clear oil cake, Hong Yanwen hastily swallowed the two buns he bought before getting on the car, and didn't even drink boiling water, so he ran to the junction of the carriage to smoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He puffed smoke from the window of his car and looked out of the window at a stretch of yellow earth, full of ravines in the dazzling sunlight, where his generation of educated youths had been working hand in hand with local farmers for nearly a decade, but still did not change the desolate appearance at all.

Is it really worth it to tie life together and never be separated from this life?

Hong Yanwen actually had a clear answer in his heart. He let out a long puff of smoke and lowered his head to extinguish the butt of the cigarette on the dirty, earth-red floor.

Indeed, the "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" movement has created a few elites among the educated youth, and has also produced agricultural models like "Dazhai". But don't forget, that's just the "plum cabbage button meat", which belongs to the unique publicity of meat. From a practical point of view, most people and most regions are still meaty dishes, which belong to dry foreshadowing.

He himself is undoubtedly the "plum vegetables", a grain of mustard among all living beings, and his name is so ordinary that people can't remember it, so don't say anything about changing the world, it's not easy to live well with all your beards and tails.

This is not false at all, because since Lu Yanhua got married, not to mention that his "can't fight", "can't be crushed" and "bravely fight with heaven and earth" at the beginning have all disappeared, and even the friendship between him and other educated youth partners who once thought would never change has completely broken down because of this incident, and it can even be said that they have turned against each other.

The period from 1976 to 1977 was the most difficult time since he went to the countryside. When I came back from work, I sat still, looking at the bleak sunset in the western sky, thinking about my own thoughts. He became reticent, because of Lu Yanhua's affairs, he couldn't have even a little more trust in Lu Yanping, Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping.

They did the same with him, I don't know whether it was out of guilt or weakness, they all stayed away from him, no longer communicated with him, and their work and life were separated from him, and they isolated him as an alternative.

In addition, the situation at home is not optimistic, and his father's illness has become a mountain in his heart. Every night, as long as he thought of his mother's sad face and his father's sick moans, he couldn't help but run out of the house, kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of the capital, looking at the starry sky to pray for his father and family.

But then again, there was one thing he really didn't expect. The son of the village party secretary treats Lu Yanhua really well, and seems to really like her. She was not allowed to do any heavy work at home, and the best things in the house were also used by her, and even for her, she pointed out the only recruitment opportunity in the village to her sister, making Lu Yanping the second educated youth who walked out of "Pimple Ridge".

It's just that on the other hand, out of men's instinctive precautions, the son of the village party secretary also looks closely at Lu Yanhua's interpersonal interactions. Not only did she not allow her to come back to Zhiqing, but because she knew what happened to the two of them in the past, she never arranged them together even to work in the fields.

So for a long time, even if he and Lu Yanhua could occasionally meet in public, they never had the opportunity to speak at all. It wasn't until the beginning of 1977 that Lu Yanhua's lower abdomen bulged, he became pregnant, and he was completely integrated with the poor middle peasants, and the vigilance of the son of the village party secretary was relaxed. Because of this, he and Lu Yanhua finally had the opportunity to meet in private.

After the Spring Festival in 1977, as soon as he came back from the capital, Lu Yanhua took the initiative to come to him. Not for anything else, just because she heard from the village party secretary that soon the county would give him the opportunity to recruit workers, so she came to tell him the news.

According to her, Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping are about to give the village party secretary to their father on the spot for this matter, so he should also find a way to give some gifts, win this place, and leave here to return to the city as soon as possible.

Lu Yanhua also said to him, "Although we are not fated to be together, I know best that people like you should not spend time here." If there are two people in this world who believe that you can make a career, one is you and the other is me. When they finally broke up, she also left him a photo of herself as a permanent keepsake.

For Lu Yanhua's friendship, he was naturally extremely moved. It's a pity that it's not up to him to decide whether he can go back or not.

They themselves knew their own difficulties, and all he had with him was the twenty yuan that his parents had tried to raise for him, and he was really reluctant to invest in such uncertain speculation.

What's more, he was deeply disgusted by the son of the village party secretary because of him and Lu Yanhua. So at that time, he realized that he couldn't compete with Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping, I'm afraid that even if they all left, he wouldn't be able to leave.

What he didn't expect was that he couldn't keep even the token that Lu Yanhua handed him the last goodbye. One day in early April, the son of the village party secretary actually led someone to find him and asked him for a photo of Lu Yanhua. He didn't want to admit it at first, but later the son of the village party secretary asked Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping to correct him, and he realized that it was the two people in his room who betrayed him again.

It's too late to regret it, and you can't hide it anymore. I had no choice but to hand over the photos. The son of the village party secretary was quite angry when he got the photo, and ordered someone to beat him again on the spot, and warned him not to see Lu Yanhua in the future.

After this incident, he fell seriously ill, with a high fever that did not go away, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, delirious, and did not eat or drink. Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping, two companions from the capital, did not hesitate to use a stab in the back to curry favor with the son of the village party secretary, so they did not help him at all.

So when he finally got through it, he didn't even believe it. Because he really has the feeling of being separated from Lord Hades by a layer of window paper, and he feels that he is simply under the nose of King Hades. Probably pure luck, caught up with Lord Yama who was napping at the moment, so he didn't open his eyes.

It's just that although he is alive again, he doesn't have much to be happy about. Because love is shattered, friendship is broken, the future is bleak, relatives are trapped by illness, and even their meager dignity cannot be maintained. This situation makes it really difficult for him to feel any hope, and there is no fun.

He even thought about it at one point, he would go back if he didn't recruit workers, he would go back if he didn't have a hukou, and he would go back if he didn't get approved. Although he returned to the capital in this way and became "black", "black" means no salary, no food stamps, no future, which is far better than here.

But as soon as this thought moved, and then he thought of the situation at home, he had to dispel this thought. Because if he really took this step, his stormy and leaky family would no longer be able to bear it.

Forget it, you can be here, no matter how much you nest alone, it's better than going back to drag your parents and relatives.

In this way, in the days that followed, he was like a walking corpse, and the split between heart and form made the villagers think that something was wrong with his nerves, and almost regarded him as a half-madman.

But fate is so wonderful. The so-called great calamity and immortality must have a blessing after death is true, just when he was desperate, there was a sudden unexpected turn in his life.

On the day of May Day, his younger brother Hong Yanwu actually came to "Pimple Ridge", which completely saved him from all his misery.

He clearly remembers the day they met, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

That day, when he was napping in the sun like a real beggar at the entrance of the village, three figures blocked the sunlight in front of him. When he opened his eyes again, he never expected that Hong Yanwu, who was a brother of the same mother, and Hong Yanwu, who should still be in labor re-education in his impression, appeared in front of him.

And just when he was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it, a concerned question of "Second brother, why did you become like this" made him burst into tears that he had been holding back for many days.

After crying, he didn't care about anything, completely uncontrollably, and first told all the grievances in his heart. This directly aroused Hong Yanwu's anger, and he was accompanied by Chen Liquan and a half-grown child named "Little Baizi", who asked him to lead the way without discussing a few words, saying that they would go to the enemy to vent his anger for him.

At that time, he thought that they were just going to teach Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping a lesson, so he simply agreed. Unexpectedly, when he entered the village with these murderous "rescuers", what followed was a full-scale conflict.

Li Weiguo and Liu Yangping, the two despicable villains, naturally bore the brunt of the attack and were knocked to the ground by Hong Yanwu first. They were beaten for a while, and then they were stripped of their clothes and kicked out of the house one by one.

Hong Yanwu kept driving them up to the Loess Ridge before stopping, and as a result, these two boys didn't dare to come back after freezing their bare butts outside all night.

And then Hong Yanwu did not stop, and directly targeted the village party secretary.

He did not agree with Hong Yanwu's proposition at that time, and tried his best to discourage it. Because in his opinion, there are militia and dogs in the village, and they are definitely not opponents, so don't hurt his younger brother again.

didn't expect that even he couldn't stop it at this point, Hong Yanwu's violent temper was unpersuadable, and this kind of destructive power was completely beyond his imagination.

It is said that during the Republic of China, there were bandits in the "Pimple Ridge", and they saw that they were too poor here, so they not only did not rob anything, but also left a piece of steel ocean for their families. In 1940, Japanese soldiers also came, but they didn't enter people's homes, but they just shouted and caught a few chickens along the street.

But Hong Yanwu and his group, don't look at it much, but they are really red-eyed. They went straight to the village party secretary, and along the way, anyone dared to stop and beat people, and if a dog dared to bite him, he beat a dog. It didn't take long for the family to jump, and the family couldn't close their homes. It's really like the scene of Lu Zhi getting drunk and hitting the mountain gate in "Water Margin".

And what about the militia?

There are only more than 30 households in the whole village, and more than a dozen strong men with hoes and pickaxes in their hands are simply vulnerable to the fists and feet of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

What about vicious dogs?

The slingshot called "Little Baizi" was so amazing that he rushed up to bite the dozen vicious dogs that wanted to bite these uninvited guests, but all of them were injured in the nose and eyes by his slingshot. In the end, like a rabbit being chased, he scattered and fled in a miserable howl, running all over the mountains.

Naturally, the son of the village party secretary was not spared.

In the courtyard of the village party secretary's house, the kid who had beaten him several times in the past was smashed into a cake in public by his angry and invincible younger brother.

No one dared to stop it, no one could stop it, and the young and strong people of the whole village were shocked by one wonderful "splashing feet", "neck hugs" and "pockets" one after another.

Even He Sankui, the village party secretary who hurried home, was helpless about it. Because on this occasion, the official status of the village secretary not only lost its deterrent effect for the first time, but also was not even an opponent of reasoning.

Hong Yanwu glared, and said He Sankui with just one sentence.

"Your son used a dog as an excuse to force someone else to marry someone else, and he beat people. It's riding on someone else's neck and. Now we can't even ask for justice? Are your hearts black? What kind of village party secretary are you?"

And when He Sankui finally held back a sentence, "You are ruthless enough, are you not afraid that the government will hold you accountable?", but he did not expect to attract a righteous refutation from Hong Yanwu.

Do you know what is the crime of embezzling the money for building houses for educated youths, beating up educated youths, and marrying female educated youths? Well, let's go to the county together and talk about it!"

This hat is big enough, not only is He Sankui dumbfounded on the spot, but he has no more words. Even he admires his younger brother inexplicably, and is even a little ashamed. Because although he himself is an educated youth, and he claims to be quite educated, he does not have a thorough understanding of the policy of educated youth, and he does not know much about this younger brother who does not learn and has no skills.

To put it bluntly, judging from a series of documents issued by the State Council, there is only one policy left in essence for the above-mentioned educated youth: stability and comfort. It is also conceivable that for government agencies at all levels, the work of educated youth is becoming more and more like a hat with steel needles inserted all over the place, wearing a silver light on the head.

From his own point of view, although he is very clear about this, there is a layer that he has never thought of. Today, it was all thanks to Hong Yanwu's reminder that things like those violations in the past have now become crimes, and once they are revealed, the person concerned will not be able to eat and walk around, and it will be appropriate to go to prison. Therefore, these words undoubtedly grasped the sore spot in it, and He Sankui was not convinced.

The resolution of this impasse ultimately came down to Lu Yanhua. As soon as she rushed home with a big belly, as soon as she saw the scene in front of her, she threw herself on the son of the village party secretary without saying a word, and desperately protected her husband with her arms.

This kind of unexpected scene, but he never expected it, and he felt an indescribable sourness and dizziness at that time.

Yes, Lu Yanhua is a woman who loves him deeply, but she is now not only someone else's wife, but also a mother. There is indeed a fate between them, the only thing that still exists is the bits and pieces of the past, and the warmth of the veins and veins that they once had with each other, and these are not enough to change the future relationship and fate of the two of them.

No matter how aggrieved he is, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't force Lu Yanhua to abandon his husband and son and follow him. So, in the face of this fait accompli, this revenge should also end here.

In this way, with a kind of distress with mixed tastes, he not only took the initiative to stop Hong Yanwu, who was still unrelenting, but also supported the couple on the ground with his own hands.

He Sankui, the village party secretary, witnessed this scene on the side, and couldn't help but let out a complicated lament......

It's just that this matter is not completely over here, and there is an end to it.

That night, when he prepared dinner with the dried noodles, canned food and other food that Hong Yanwu and the others brought. His younger brother actually returned from outside and showed him a "transfer" certificate that had been stamped with a big seal by He Sankui, the village party secretary. And officially told him that he would be able to go home openly from tomorrow, and that he would never have to suffer here again in the future.

At that time, he couldn't believe it at all, and he looked at the certificate in his hand for a while, and his mind was still confused for a while. First, he didn't expect that his family would have such a lot of energy to get this certificate, and second, he didn't believe why the village party secretary was so magnanimous.

However, Hong Yanwu's subsequent words solved the doubts in his heart, and he knew that this certificate was obtained by his younger brother through the son of a bureau chief. And it is not surprising that the village party secretary stamped and let him go, according to his younger brother's words, the people in the whole village who are most looking forward to him leaving are probably the father and son of the village party secretary. When you think about it, this is indeed a very reasonable explanation.

On this night, he was drunk, not only for the ups and downs and twists and turns of the past six months, but also to pay tribute to the wasted youth and broken love here.

But the next morning, an extremely incredible situation actually appeared. The son of the village party secretary, who had just been beaten, took the initiative to take Lu Yanhua to the Zhiqing Point to see him off, and the two of them sent their group all the way to the bottom of the mountain.

Especially at the time of parting, the son of the village party secretary not only swore to him that he would be good to Lu Yanhua in the future, but also sincerely apologized to him for the past.

At that moment, for some reason, he did feel a little relieved.

So, not only did he shake hands with the son of the village party secretary for the first time, but he also solemnly pointed to Lu Yanhua's big belly and said, "Tell the child that I am his uncle, and when the child grows up, you will let the child go to the capital to find me......"

Halfway through the words, he and Lu Yanhua both cried......

Towards the end of the evening, the train finally drove into a building, and then slowly entered the Yongdingmen Railway Station. There are pick-up people on the platform, and there are people pulling luggage, although the station is old and messy, but in Hong Yanwen's eyes, it is full of kindness and cuteness.

Truth be told, the moment the train stops at this station, it is an extreme perfection for him. He, after all, departed from this station and returned from this station.

It feels so good to be home, and it feels even better to know that I'm going to leave home again. Although his family didn't know about his return, no one came to pick him up, but after all, he stepped on the land of the capital again.

The moment he walked out of the train station, his eyes were not fixed on the flow of people or the bus stop signs, but on the trees on both sides of the square.

Because in the second half of the train, he had actually been thinking about what his younger brother Hong Yanwu had told him.

"Brother, don't worry about me going to find medicine for my father. The main task of your return home is to help take care of the house. The second is to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination. ”

"College entrance examination, how is it possible? Why didn't I hear the wind when I came home for the holidays?"

"You have to believe me, if I can get the 'transduction' certificate, I will be able to know the news that others don't know! The exam will start in the second half of the year, and time is running out. ”

“…… What about the family component? What about what I did when I went to report on the Old Palace Brigade?"

"Don't sign up for a licensed university, the political review of ordinary universities will be relaxed. Don't take it as a burden when you go to 'transfer', this is 300 yuan, you take it, you don't have to give it to your family. After the report, you go to buy cigarettes and alcohol, please eat, the team leader will not be difficult for you, as long as you stay at home for half a year, you will definitely become a college student. Listen to me, you are the only official in our family, at least you are in the right place, if you go to college, maybe you can go further......"

"Where did you get this money? Why does it sound like a daydream......

"Don't ask about money. I can come to you, don't you think it's a dream! Second brother, you don't care about anything, just listen to me. To tell you the truth, that one is about to make a comeback. You can go to the capital to look around, and now it is different from the New Year, and the trees are tied with small bottles everywhere, which shows that the top and bottom are already one heart. ”

"A vial?"

That's right, little bottle!

All kinds of bottles!

There are almost every tree around the square, dancing in the wind......

Hong Yanwen has indeed seen it with his own eyes, and now he is full of glory and hope!

Yes, he believed it, and now he believes every word and word that Hong Yanwu said!

He thanked this younger brother from the bottom of his heart, not only because he pulled him out of the quagmire at a critical moment and let him regain his self-esteem, but also because Hong Yanwu also brought him hope, a kind of hope like a new life!

At 7 p.m. on the evening of May 2, 1977, Hong Yanwen stood at the edge of the square at Yongdingmen Railway Station.

At this moment, his heart was full of warmth, and he felt that even the howling wind in the spring in the capital had become much softer. He felt happiness and comfort that he hadn't felt in many years.
