Chapter 9: The Melancholy in Her Eyes

The sunset is all over the sky, and the remnant sun is like blood.

"Unity is strength!

Unity is strength!

This force is steel! This force is iron!

Harder than steel, stronger than iron!

……”

The passionate singing echoes on the mountain beams.

In the hot mountain breeze, on the loess mountain road leading to Shangling Village, Yang Weiping dragged a traction hemp rope on his shoulder and pulled the wheelbarrow in front, He Guodong sat on the car, and Zhou Yuanchao grabbed the handlebar with both hands behind and pushed it easily.

The three brothers were in a hurry while indulging in singing.

Obviously, He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao were deeply impressed and admired by Yang Weiping's grand plan.

The two of them still don't realize how much money Yang Weiping can earn from this plan, and what they value more is that after the successful implementation of Yang Weiping's plan, Yang Weiping, as the editor-in-chief of the "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", will have a huge, huge influence in the country!

He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao both knew that they could not help Yang Weiping much in the compilation process of the "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", and they could only secretly decide that in the future, they would try to let Yang Weiping do less farm work in the field, so that he would have more time to compile books. Because they are also aware of the far-reaching significance of this set of "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" to the Chinese education circle after the end of the Cultural Revolution.

From the commune compound to Shangling Village in Luojiawan, there are nearly 20 miles of mountain roads before and after.

Before the sun was about to set, Yang Weiping and Zhou Yuanchao pulled and pushed He Guodong, who was not healed from his foot injury, and entered the north entrance of Shangling Village with a smile.

The three brothers walked through the village with a smile, and when they were about to reach the courtyard of the farmhouse where the Zhiqing Point was located, they met Su Hongmei walking towards the village from the direction of the Zhiqing Point with her head down.

"Su Hongmei. Zhou Yuanchao greeted the other party with a smile, "Xie Lu, thank you for helping to take care of Wei Ping yesterday." ”

Yang Weiping, who was walking in front, was turning his head to talk to He Guodong, and when he heard Zhou Yuanchao's greeting, he hurriedly turned his face.

"It's okay, it's just a gesture. My father said that taking care of you educated youths is what we villagers should do. Su Hongmei stopped, raised her head and said with a smile: "Besides, when I went, Yang Weiping was basically fine, I didn't dare to take credit, he said that smoking made his high fever go away!"

"Teacher Su, thank you for your egg porridge. Yang Weiping looked at Su Hongmei with sincerity and said, "Two eggs, in my heart, are heavy." ”

"It's nothing, Yang Weiping, it's all eggs laid by chickens raised at home, and it's not worth a few dollars. Su Hongmei smiled and said: "I went to the Zhiqing Point to look for you just now, but they said that you went to the commune to do business and haven't come back yet." ”

Although Su Hongmei smiled like a flower, Yang Weiping keenly noticed a faint sadness in her big watery eyes.

"Teacher Su, what are you looking for me? As long as I Yang Weiping can do it, you can just ask. Yang Weiping said.

Su Hongmei turned her head and looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else around, so she walked up to Yang Weiping generously and asked softly, "When are you going to start reviewing the college entrance examination you told me yesterday?"

"Absolutely, we'll start tonight. Yang Weiping didn't think much about it and nodded and replied: "I specially bought a few more lanterns and a barrel of kerosene from the commune supply and marketing cooperative, as well as paper, pens, and ink, just for review." ”

"So many things, how much does it cost!" Su Hongmei saw the pile of items on the wheelbarrow and said in surprise: "I can't see that you are still a little rich man!"

"Shhhhh

"Giggles!" Su Hongmei covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at your nervous appearance, people are joking with you, okay, I won't tell you more, I'll come to you after dinner at home." ”

After finishing speaking, Su Hongmei shook her two big braids, twisted her waist and turned around and jumped towards the village.

I don't know what's going on, Su Hongmei feels that after talking to Yang Weiping for a few words, her mood has become much more relaxed.

As he walked, he glanced back at Yang Weiping, and his deep, misty, and a little vicissitudes of life appeared in his mind for no reason.

couldn't help but feel a fever on her face, Su Hongmei quickly turned her red face around, secretly spat herself, twisted her waist and sped up her pace towards home.

Two hours ago, an agricultural mechanic named Qian Yougen came from the commune to carefully inspect the big tractor that was broken by her father yesterday, and finally came up with a technical identification of man-made damage.

Luo Weidong, for fear of taking responsibility for the accident, put all the responsibility on Su Changgui's head, and said that Su Changgui relied on his identity as the production captain, regardless of his persuasion, he had to forcibly drive the tractor, which led to the vehicle damage accident caused by illegal operation.

Su Changgui did not blame Luo Weidong, and simply signed his name on the appraisal report issued by Qian Yougen.

Although Su Changgui pretended to be a troubleless person, Su Hongmei still saw a deep worry in her father's eyes.

Su Changgui signed the column of the person responsible for the accident in the appraisal report, which means that he has to bear full responsibility for this man-made accident that accidentally damaged public property.

If the tractor is not repaired well, this nature is even more serious. Because of this kind of large wheeled tractor, there are only three in the entire Jinnan County, each worth more than 5,800 yuan, and money may not be able to buy, must be reported by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, approved by the Ministry of Machinery Industry to queue up from the Luohe Dongfanghong Tractor Factory to pick up the goods.

More than 5,800 yuan, which is a huge amount of money for any state-owned unit, and if it falls on the head of an individual, it is simply an astronomical amount.

After learning about the seriousness of this accident from Qian Yougen's mouth, how could Su Hongmei not feel worried for her father. All afternoon, I prayed to God and Buddha in my heart, and secretly prayed that Qian Yougen would bring someone over tomorrow to repair the tractor.

After Qian Yougen got on his bicycle and left, the broken wheeled tractor was pushed by Su Changgui and others to the courtyard of the production team headquarters in Shangling Village, and handed over to the village militia company to take turns on duty. Su Hongmei's house was gradually shrouded in a thick cloud of sorrow.

Su Changgui squatted in the yard with a black face and smoked a dry tobacco pouch without saying a word, and his timid and fearful mother Tian Cuifen sighed for a long time, washing her face with tears, Su Hongmei really couldn't stand this depression and depression, so she simply went out and planned to go to the Zhiqing Point to chat with Yang Weiping and relax. I didn't know that when I arrived at the Zhiqing Point, I learned that Yang Weiping had not returned, so I could only turn around and go home sullenly.

Fortunately, she met Yang Weiping on the road, and although she only chatted for a few words, Su Hongmei felt much better.

Going to college used to be Su Hongmei's biggest dream. When she was in the county middle school, Su Hongmei's grades have always been among the best in the whole grade, if it weren't for the beginning of the special period, the teachers were beaten into stinky old nine, Su Hongmei believed that she would definitely be able to be admitted to university.

After returning home from the educated youth point yesterday, before going to bed at night, Su Hongmei pondered for a long time what Yang Weiping told her about the college entrance examination, and she couldn't figure it out. However, having the opportunity to review homework with these educated youths from big cities, Su Hongmei felt that it was a good thing to say anything, there was too much free time in the countryside. If you can't put it to good use, it's a big waste. …,

Thinking of Yang Weiping's demeanor when he said seriously just now that he was a relative of the Black Five capitalist roaders, Su Hongmei couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Although Yang Weiping pretended to be nervous, Su Hongmei could feel that he didn't seem to care at all that he was a black five child who was discriminated against. On the contrary, she felt as if he was still proud of it.

Shangling Village Educated Youth, the children of the Black Five categories are not only Yang Weiping, He Guodong, and Zhou Yuanchao, but only the three of them have never felt ashamed that they are the children of the Black Five Capitalist Roaders, and they are completely different from other Black Five children and educated youths who walk with their heads down and dare not look at people.

Seeing the three of them today, Su Hongmei felt that they were more energetic and energetic than usual. Even she seems to be a little infected.

There is no hurdle that cannot be passed, Su Hongmei cheered herself up in her heart. That big tractor may be repaired tomorrow when the technicians from the county's agricultural machinery station come, and as long as it is repaired, it will not be a big deal.

Su Hongmei's house is located in the east of the village and is one of the few red brick buildings in the village. When I entered the door, I saw that my father was still bitter, squatting under the eaves next to the door of the hall and smoking a dry tobacco pouch, Su Hongmei said with relief: "Dad, don't think about it, didn't you say that it was just a small fault in the oil circuit, maybe it will be easily solved when Qian Yougen and someone comes tomorrow." ”

"Girl, your father isn't worried about this. Su Changgui sighed and said: "I'm worried, you didn't save any face for Secretary Chen in front of so many people in the village yesterday, so that he couldn't get off the stage. ”

"Chen Jialiang is not so petty, right?" Su Hongmei asked in a daze: "If I don't agree to deal with others, he can use his power to retaliate against our family?

"People's hearts are separated from their bellies, girl, you have to have a long mind for this matter. Su Changgui said earnestly: "If Chen Jialiang really deliberately corrects me because of this, this is enough to show that this person is narrow-minded and a solid villain, and I will never marry my only daughter to this kind of person." Even if I go to jail because of this incident, our Su family will never bow down to this kind of person! You remember, no matter how this accident is handled, you are not allowed to interfere, let alone plead with Chen Jialiang, do you hear?"

"Dad, it's not as serious as you think, are you?" asked Su Hongmei worriedly.

"It doesn't hurt to have a long heart in everything. Su Changgui sighed and said: "I also consider things to the worst side, so as not to be mentally prepared when I get it." ”

"I hope you're too careful. Su Hongmei muttered to herself, "But if that's the case, what should I do?"
