1974, Summer.

The hibiscus flowers are blooming brightly, and the sound of the tweeter on the railing on the second floor of the registration office for going up the mountain and going to the countryside shouts from morning to night.

"Go to the countryside, to the frontiers, to the places where the motherland needs you!"

"Revolutionary youth are determined to take root in the countryside and in the frontiers. ”

"Roll in the mud, refine a red heart, do a lifetime of revolution, and be a good student for a lifetime. ”

"Go to the mountains and go to the countryside, change the heavens and the earth, and build a new socialist countryside. ”

"The vast world refines the red heart, and takes root in the countryside with unswerving determination. ”

"Break with bourgeois ideology and be a loyal friend of the poor middle peasants. Learn from the poor middle peasants and pay tribute to the poor middle peasants. ”

"Fight heaven and earth to refine red hearts, and overcome all difficulties to make a revolution. Ask for food from the barren mountains, and make way for the rivers. Obey the needs of the motherland and accept the people's choice. ”

Everywhere are students who are boiling with enthusiasm, grinding their fists and palms, to accept the call of the motherland, to go to the countryside, the most frontier, but the most remote places, to dedicate their youth, dedicate their strength, and make a contribution to the construction of the motherland.

Every day, people come to sign up, some people come to receive a military gift, tie a big red flower, and are arranged to sit in a military green truck and go to the remote places where they want to shine.

It's a place where we're sending people every day, and it's bustling.

Every young face is full of enthusiasm and smiles, and in the innocent eyes, there is the most beautiful longing and yearning for the world.

A skinny girl in a white-washed short-sleeved shirt stood quietly in the middle of the line, waiting to get on the bus and go to Chamdo.

The classmates were busy waving goodbye to their elderly parents, and to their younger siblings who were young and ignorant, and did not understand why they were going to the frontier and going to the mountains and countryside to work.

Parting is always accompanied by tears, Su Xiuxiu didn't look back, and she didn't dare to look back, she knew that if she went, she might never come back.

Jinji, I was born again, and we must be together well in this life.

She heard her father in the crowd saying to her crying mother: "I feel so uncomfortable, you say that she is such a big man, what can she do well when she goes to the frontier? Will she be bullied? When the time comes, the world is far away, and the sky is not supposed to be, and the earth is not spiritual, and she is quiet and weak, if something happens, she should do something?"

Mom only cared about crying, choked up and couldn't make a sound, and called her name indistinctly: "Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu." ”

One of them took half of the raw red root and gnawed on the younger brother and sister and called the sister vigorously, "Come back early, write to us!"

Sister, if you see Malaysia, you have to draw one and send it back!"

Su Xiuxiu nodded lightly, climbed into the truck without hesitation, and sat in the center of the crowd.

The tarpaulin was pulled up, cut off from the outside and became a small world.

The car started to start, and after a while, someone got motion sickness, it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a round face like an apple, a pair of big flickering eyes, black and white, very good-looking.

But no matter how good-looking a person is, it will smell the same when he vomits.

Everyone wanted to sit back, for fear of being spit on her body, but there was such a large space in the car, and people were full, and there was no place to retreat.

You squeeze me, and I squeeze the one behind, squeezing and squeezing, and then squeezing the last person down......

"Help, I'm going to fall to death!" she screamed, clinging to the fence of the car, her body dangling in the air, her arms trembling incessantly, and she couldn't hold it anymore, and she was about to fall to the ground, maybe she would be swept under the car or run over by the car behind her.

Su Xiuxiu gritted her teeth, pushed away the few people behind who were stunned, and pounced directly, grabbing one of the girl's hands.

It's like a drowning person who suddenly encounters a piece of driftwood, and he has to desperately catch it.

Su Xiuxiu forgot the weight difference between herself and the girl, coupled with the difference in the strength of the fall, the girl wanted to climb into the car through her, but instead dragged Su Xiuxiu forward and fell out.

"Ahh

The screams rang out one after another, and the timid girls covered their eyes for fear of the bloody scene that was coming.

Half of Su Xiuxiu's body had fallen out of the car rail, and the girl's feet had already rubbed the ground.

Su Xiuxiu didn't let go of her hand, she hooked the car bar with her feet, and her face was swollen red from holding her breath and accumulating strength, like a ripe tomato.

The car behind finally realized that something was wrong, and stopped with a creak, and a PLA soldier in a grass-green military uniform opened the car door suddenly, jumped down at once, and waved his arms vigorously at the angle that could be seen in the rearview mirror, shouting: "Stop immediately!"

While shouting, he tried to get close to Su Xiuxiu's car.

"Oh my God, this guy is so fast that he can catch up with the car!"

He grabbed the girl with one hand, gently threw her aside, and then stretched out his hands to pick up Su Xiuxiu, who was hugged by him and out of danger.

She was actually out of strength, her back was already soaked with sweat, and her clothes were tightly clinging to her body, like another layer of skin.

The PLA soldiers slowly put Su Xiuxiu on the ground, their slender and good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and their voices were sonorous and powerful.

"You are not afraid of death! You are born weak and weak, and you are bold!"

Su Xiuxiu nodded, and replied.

The rescued girl is named Wang Li, 19 years old, from Dongcheng District, and her parents are both lathe workers in Bayi Garment Factory.

She walked over in shock and kept bowing to the PLA soldier, "Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been hit by the car if I didn't fall to my death, and then I would hang on the car and wipe the ground with my flesh and blood." ”

The PLA soldier frowned slightly, listening to Wang Li's tone, it seemed that he was quite complaining about the person who held her. He also nodded, and then said in the direction of Su Xiuxiu: "My name is He Mingzhang, what is your name?"

Su Xiuxiu replied softly, "Su Xiuxiu." ”

He Mingzhang nodded and said, "I remember you." He turned around and walked back to the car behind, climbed up, sat firmly, and waved at Su Xiuxiu.

Wang Li was on the side, biting her lip and not speaking.

Su Xiuxiu sighed, took a dozen steps forward, and climbed the railing slowly.

Wang Li couldn't climb up after a few climbs, so she shouted at Su Xiuxiu: "Hey, you pull me!"

Su Xiuxiu glanced back at Wang Li, and said lightly: "It's already been pulled, and I won't have the strength in my hands." ”

Wang Li was a little angry, her eyes were on fire, and she stared at Su Xiuxiu.

Finally, one of the people sitting in the back stretched out his hand and pulled her, and she climbed up and sat down.

Because someone vomited in the carriage because of motion sickness, the air didn't smell good, and Wang Li counted down the apple-faced girl over there.

"I can't shut your mouth, I can spray whatever stinks...... People like you, who go to the frontier and go to the countryside, are also dragging us back and disgrace the motherland!"
