Late at night, the two girls slept soundly, making a long and even breathing sound, Lin Weiguo couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply put on his clothes and sat up.

He was so upset that he wanted to smoke a cigarette but held back.

This is the home, not the yurt of the educated youth, if his mother finds out that he smokes, he will definitely nag again, maybe he will be slapped twice.

He took out a cigarette and played with it in his hand, thinking about his girlfriend Zhang Nan.

Can she still be considered his girlfriend?

Zhang Nan has a good relationship with Qiangzi's sister, but today I didn't see Zhang Nan come to help at Qiangzi's house, listening to a few female comrades who helped, it seems that Zhang Nan is also about to get married.

In the past few years, most of Lin Weiguo's classmates and friends have gotten married, and he keeps receiving wedding invitations one after another.

The children of his friends who got married earlier ran all over the ground, and Zheng Guihua urged him to find a partner to marry all day long, but who knew what was on his mind.

Zhang Nan and Lin Weiguo are classmates in high school, and they are also an underground couple.

After graduation, Zhang Nan took over Zhang's father's class and worked in the mine lamp room, but Lin Weiguo refused the job arranged by his parents and decided to respond to the call to become an educated youth in the pastoral area.

Lin Weiguo's decision, no matter how you look at it, seems to be impulsive, not only Zheng Guihua and Lin Jiaming strongly opposed it after learning about it, but Zhang Nan also tried to persuade him.

But regardless of the coercion of his parents or the pleas of his lover, Lin Weiguo was unmoved, and finally went to Wulin Banner with a blanket roll on his back.

In this era, it is very cautious to fall in love, Lin Weiguo and Zhang Nan have been in love for more than a year, and at most they have only held a small hand once when no one is around.

On the first night of leaving, Lin Weiguo hugged Zhang Nan for the first time, Zhang Nan's body trembled slightly in his arms, and the girl raised her tear-stained face, crying for the last time and begging him not to go.

However, he still hardened his heart and left.

Between ideals and family love, Lin Weiguo chose ideals.

When they first arrived in Wulinqi, there were still correspondence between Zhang Nan and Lin Weiguo.

Zhang Nan often talks about the troubles at work in her letters, about her parents urging her to go on a blind date, as well as the discomfort and grievances when she is occasionally sick, and sometimes the joy caused by a small thing......

At the beginning, the content of the letter was mainly like this: Brother Wei Guo, yesterday the mine distributed watermelons, which were particularly sandy and sweet, do you have melons to eat over there?

The pastoral conditions are difficult, so you must take care of your health.

And then it slowly turned out to be like this:

Brother Wei Guo, when Xiao Mang was sick, she sent her to the hospital and accompanied her to get an intravenous drip.

Remembering that when I was sick, I was the only one, and I had to be nagged by my mother, and I felt so uncomfortable, you should come back quickly!

Zhou Yuyu was in a bad mood yesterday, her object played treasure in front of her, and it took a lot of effort to make her laugh, I envy her so much, every time my mother scolds me, I can only endure it, when will you come back?

Yesterday the coal was divided in the mine, my brother was sick and couldn't come back from the mine hospital, and my sister and I had to move the coal to the coal bunker easily, if you were there.

Brother Wei Guo, on the way to the mine just now, I rescued a little sparrow that had just come out of the nest from under the cat's paws.

It's so cute, its mouth is yellow, its small eyes are shiny, I don't know why, I think of you when I see it, Brother Wei Guo, I miss you, do you know......

However, the speed of correspondence is too slow, six or seven days for a quick return and a slow return for more than ten days.

When Lin Weiguo received the letter and wrote a reply letter and sent it to Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan had almost forgotten the situation at that time.

Later, the letter Lin Weiguo received became much simpler.

Brother Wei Guo, the letter has been received. There was nothing to do anymore, I was completely cured and went back to work.

There's nothing going on in the unit, it's like that every day. Zhou Yuyu got married, Xiao Mang broke up with her partner, and re-punished a young man from a municipal unit.

I'm fine, don't read it.

The correspondence between the two became simpler and simpler, from a thick stack of letter paper to a thin sheet, and later, the correspondence became much more sparse.

Not only did Zhang Nan rarely write letters to Lin Weiguo again, but Lin Weiguo himself found that he had nothing to write when he picked up a pen in front of the letter.

They have been separated for too long, and their lives have no intersection with each other, and there is very little common language between the two.

I don't know what day it started, and I don't know who started it, the correspondence between Lin Weiguo and Zhang Nan was finally broken.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Lin Weiguo returns to Dongfang Red Coal Mine, and will wait for Zhang Nan on the way to get off work, but there is no longer the same enthusiasm and tacit understanding between the two as before, and they have become polite and distant.

Even the two of them need to rack their brains and struggle to find a topic.

After doing this a few times, neither of them could stand such a cold and cold atmosphere, so Zhang Nan deliberately followed a group of workers when he got off work, or changed shifts with others, so that Lin Weiguo could make a fool of himself.

And after Lin Weiguo pounced a few times, he also felt bored, so he never went again.

The two drifted apart, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them officially proposed to break up.

In the eyes of later generations, such a relationship can almost be regarded as the dissolution of the relationship.

How many couples in a long-distance relationship are like this, there is no quarrel and no contradiction, but gradually fades away, distances, and eventually becomes strangers.

But in the hearts of Lin Weiguo and Zhang Nan, it seems that this is not all the case.

Lin Weiguo hadn't heard of Zhang Nan falling in love for a few years, and he hadn't been in love in the pastoral area, Zheng Guihua was so anxious, but his son was hundreds of miles away, and he could only scold a few words every time he saw his son, urging him to find a partner to marry.

Zhang Nan, as a girl, stayed under the noses of her parents, and it was even more difficult to escape the fate of being forced to marry, and she was urged by her parents to do nothing, and the girl didn't know what to think, and she never talked about it again.

But when Lin Weiguo came back this time, he heard that Zhang Nan was getting married.

It turns out that distance can really kill love, and if Zhang Nan gets married, his relationship with her will really end.

The room seemed to be much colder in the second half of the night, and Lin Weiguo finally couldn't help but light a cigarette, and the spark of the cigarette butt was clearly extinguished, illuminating his face.

In the darkness, the girl's tearful eyes seemed to be watching him, and her soft and sad voice was pleading with him.

"Brother Wei Guo, can't you not go? You will regret it in the future!"

"Do you regret it?" Lin Weiguo asked himself in a low voice.

He didn't know if he regretted it.

The blood that had been cold had cooled, Lin Weiguo snuffed out the cigarette butt, and pressed his chest in the dark and asked himself in his heart.

In this dark and silent winter night, Lin Weiguo suddenly found that although he had a lot of dissatisfaction and disappointment with the life of educated youth, he really had no regrets.

A night of chaotic dreams, when it was dawn, Lin Weiguo was called out by Lin Zijiao.
