Chapter Twenty-Eight: Time flies, goodbye, Ma Shiyu
On this day, Ding Fengjun got up early in the morning, it was still dark, and everyone in the family was asleep. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Ding Fengjun carried the bag and tiptoed out. He has already arranged things properly, and the letter paper is placed on the dining table in the hall, such a striking place, I believe that his whereabouts will soon be discovered by the family, they should not be too worried, there are many children in the countryside, all of them have grown up with hardships, like Ding Fengjun, you have to have strength and strength, and you have to have a brain, although occasionally you will make a mistake, you will not be worried about your family.
This is Ding Fengjun's own wishful thinking, he didn't know, because of his run away from home this time, how anxious the people in the family were, especially Wang Yuzhen, as a mother, how could she be willing to let her children leave home to work due to the oppression of life, for this reason, she also had an illness, the doctor said that her illness was born from anger, her health was not good, this anger and concern for Ding Fengjun, this was lying at home for more than half a month, until she was busy with farming, she was gradually able to get out of bed and walk.
Ding Fengjun went to the place where Ding Shichang said in the dark, the road in the village was rugged and bumpy, he walked forward with difficulty with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his footsteps were very heavy, and the place he passed through would definitely cause a dog to bark.
Ding Shichang's friend is also a rough man, he has no culture, except for drinking and smoking, he is more than forty years old, and he has not yet started a family, his name is Ye Wencheng, everyone is used to calling him a single, he is not annoyed, this person's temper is not bad, but occasionally he is violent, like an intermittent psychopath, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
The family's land has been untended since the death of his parents, and it is precisely because of his laziness that he cannot marry a daughter-in-law, and because he loves to smoke and drink, the family's property is nothing more than the mansion left by his parents.
When Ding Fengjun arrived at the agreed place, Ye Wencheng had been waiting for a long time, he sat casually on his luggage, smoking a cigarette with a big grin, and he could see the flickering cigarette tail from a distance.
"Uncle, I've kept you waiting. Ding Fengjun stepped forward and said to Ye Wencheng.
Ye Wencheng glanced up at Ding Fengjun slightly, and said impatiently: "You little brat, why did you come." Just drove past a car, and we had to wait for more than half an hour!"
Ding Fengjun smiled a little embarrassedly, didn't speak again, he also followed Ye Wencheng's example and put the bag still on the ground, sat on it, bored, Ye Wencheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Ding Fengjun, Ding Fengjun was stunned and smiled awkwardly and said that he didn't know how to smoke.
Ye Wencheng was a little annoyed, and said with a scolding grin: "Can't you smoke, can't you learn? Haven't you ever eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run? I can tell you, we are very idle in this work, if you don't know how to smoke, you will be bored to death." In addition, every time there is a festival and a New Year, the boss will smoke, of course, he will not give it if he can't smoke. ”
When Ding Fengjun heard this, he had to pay it back, you must know that this cigarette was also bought with money, such a good welfare, if he didn't give it to himself at that time, he would only watch others take it home, and he would not be suffocated to death! Thinking of this, without waiting for Ye Wencheng to say anything else, Ding Fengjun grabbed the one that Ye Wencheng handed over in his hand, and borrowed Ye Wencheng's foreign fire to light it, and smoked it decently like Ye Wencheng.
This dry tobacco is no better than the grass tobacco sold in the store, the smoke of the dry tobacco is stronger, and it is quite choking, Ding Fengjun only tried to take a small puff, and his tears were about to choke out. But he still insisted on finishing his cigarettes, because the benefit was too tempting, he had to get it, and he would be very happy to bring it back to Ding Shide when the time came.
The sky was white, and occasionally there would be a few people carrying agricultural tools on the road, and they always glanced at him inadvertently when they passed by Ding Fengjun's side, which made Ding Fengjun extremely uncomfortable.
was about to say goodbye to the village where he had lived for eighteen years, Ding Fengjun wanted to turn around and take another look at this kind village, but Ye Wencheng did not give him this lyrical opportunity, Ye Wencheng grabbed Ding Fengjun's arm and took him to the car.
Today is an important day for Ding Shide, the county leaders are going to the countryside to inspect, and yesterday Ding Shide has already arranged the reception properly. But as the village chief he also has to go to the village to wait, early in the morning he didn't even care about eating and left, before going out he caught a glimpse of the letter on the table, because he was in a hurry to go to the village, he didn't care, he thought it was just his own child naughty casually thrown on the table stack of paper, after he left, Wang Yuzhen also found the letter, she is much more careful than Ding Shide, she slowly opened the neatly folded letter stack, the dense handwriting on it caught her eyes, helpless, she was illiterate, but she knew that the things in it must be useful, she called Ding Fengjun's name a few times, and did not get a response, maybe Ding Fengjun is still in a mood for Ding Fenghai's affairs.
Wang Yuzhen smiled and woke Ding Fenghe up, and asked Ding Fenghe to read this thing to her.
Ding Fenghe was woken up by Wang Yuzhen from his sleep, naturally a little unpleasant, he rubbed his eyes, muttered why didn't he let the second brother read it, and read it very reluctantly.
"Daddy, I'm leaving, forgive me for saying goodbye, but don't worry, I'm going to work outside, and I'll come back when the New Year comes, I'm really sorry for you, I have lived up to your expectations of me, please forgive me for being an unfilial child." College entrance examination, it can only become a dream of mine forever, maybe it can only appear in my dream in this life, through these few things, I also figured out, there are some things we can't resist, no ability and no connections, it doesn't matter, just because we little people can't fight those ruffians and hooligans, I'm not escaping, I don't have the delusion to make a name for myself outside, I just want to be able to earn some money through my own efforts, and honor you two elders in the future. If you have a good economy, you can marry a daughter-in-law and have a few children, I don't want my children to be like me, they can't do what they want to do, maybe I can't give them too much glory and wealth in this life, but I can provide them with a platform to realize their dreams. ”
"Daddy, your health is not good, you must take care of yourself, let your younger brothers and sisters do the work you can't do, they are young and have more strength than you. You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. It used to be my dream to go to college, and now it's my dream to work hard to earn money, and I'll work hard for my new dream, by the way, Daddy, if the poetry girl comes to me, don't tell her where I'm going, I know that my mother likes her very much, and I have always hoped that the poetry girl can become her daughter-in-law, if I am still in school, I will definitely marry her, but not now, she still has to go to college, and I have no qualifications to marry her as a wife. You can't be too selfish, and I don't want to ruin her life because of my fall. In this life, I can only say that she is inseparable, mother, and I hope that when you see her, you can persuade her, let her not drop out of school, and must let her fulfill her dream. ”
"If the eldest brother writes, you must tell me about him. When I get to the place where I work, I will make time to write to you and tell you my address, and when the time comes, let Fenghe send me the address of my eldest brother, I will write to my eldest brother, and finally, I wish my father and mother good health and a long life. ”
The check-in office reads: Your unfilial son, Ding Fengjun!
Ding Fenghe choked up and finished reading this letter, he didn't expect his second brother to leave home to work, if he had known that he would leave, Ding Fenghe should have told him what he wanted that night, maybe tell Ding Fengjun what he thought, Ding Fengjun would not have left in such a hurry.
Wang Yuzhen sat slumped on the ground, tears bursting out of her deep eyes, her heart was like being hit by a volley of arrows, and the pain made it difficult for her to breathe. Her hand clutched at the clothes on her chest, as if with any more force, the clothes would be torn apart by her hands.
There seemed to be a whistle in her ears, and the sound of the outside world could no longer touch her nerves, and it seemed like a lifetime before she cried bitterly: "My miserable child!"
Wang Yuzhen only cried like this, and then fainted.
Ma Shiyu is like a walking corpse, coming out of the hospital in a trance, the appearance of losing her soul has made her flower and moon appearance no longer exist, I heard that Wang Yuzhen was hospitalized due to illness, she came to visit, but here she got a news, enough to make her cry bitterly.
Ding Fengjun's resignation was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ma Shiyu, she didn't want to believe this fact, she would rather hope that Wang Yuzhen didn't wait to see her before making up a lie to her. However, if this is a lie, why did Wang Yuzhen get hospitalized, and why did Wang Yuzhen be hospitalized while Ding Fengjun turned a blind eye and did not stay with his mother?
Wang Yuzhen's words have always lingered around Ma Shiyu.
"Good girl, you must study hard and be admitted to college, your second brother is a worthless thing, he is not worthy of you, do you remember what the two of you said to me when you were young, both of you are going to be admitted to college, at that time I was still teasing you, saying that if one of them can't pass the exam, you stupid girl still said to me with a serious face, then let the other go to college with the dreams of two people. Now I really have to answer this sentence, girl, you must be admitted to college, this is what you once said to take the dreams of two people to realize it alone, good girl, my aunt believes that you have this ability. ”
Ma Shiyu only felt heart-rending pain at this time, tears like rain could not be wiped clean, and thoughts were like tears that burst the embankment, constantly pouring into his mind.
It seems that when I was eight years old, in the scorching afternoon, under the thick poplar trees, several children who were not familiar with the world were playing in the woods, and suddenly a boy pushed a girl with a ponytail to the ground, and said disrespectfully: "You child who has no father and no mother, why do you want to play with us, we are not rare to take you!"
The bold words scared the girl into tears, and she wiped her tears and let the other children next to her laugh at her.
"What do you say, you're so embarrassed, what is the ability to bully a girl, and what is the ability to fight with me. ”
The girl saw through her fingers a person she would never forget in her life, a chubby little face, and Ding Fengjun, who seemed to be full of righteous indignation, was preparing to open the shelf and fight with them. As a result, the children didn't dare to move, Ding Fengjun stretched out his hand to pull the girl up, and said to her: "They don't deserve to play with you, go, the second brother will take you to play." ”
Time is frozen in the place where Li Ergou and Zhang Tiedan bullied Ma Shiyu, who desperately grabbed Li Ergou's wrist, regardless of the dagger in his hand to save Ma Shiyu, the memory flew to the rainy night of that day, if it wasn't for Ding Fengjun risking his life to save Ma Shiyu, presumably she would not know what day it was, but she still told such a big lie in front of everyone, but Ding Fengjun could still forgive her, Ma Shiyu felt ashamed.
"Second brother, did I choose to avoid me like this because I couldn't forgive you for those things I did? Second brother, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you, I hope you can come back, can't I listen to you?" Ma Shiyu came to the woods again, and she cried out while holding a poplar tree that had witnessed her acquaintance with Ding Fengjun.
"Second brother, come back, I'll go to school, I'll take the college entrance examination, and I'll take the dreams that belong to the two of us to embark on the journey of realizing them! I just ask you not to leave me alone, come back quickly!"
The cry of sorrow frightened the birds in the forest, and the bird that flew into the blue sky rushed into the sky with these sad words, and the sound of this voice in the blue sky did not stop for a long time.
Ding Fengjun studied humbly in the kiln, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, even if he was played, he swallowed his anger, and later Ding Fenghe mailed him the address of Ding Fenghai's unit, Ding Fenghai also learned what happened to Ding Fengjun, and the two of them comforted each other in the letter. Ding Fenghai also told Ding Fengjun about his living conditions in the army, Ding Fenghai said in the letter.
"It's a pity that you don't come to be a soldier, in fact, being a soldier is not so terrible, there must be daily training, that is because the army should cultivate soldiers who bring glory to the country, not waste. Every soldier here is a hot-blooded man, but it's a pity that I can't be like them, galloping on the battlefield, because I am weak and I am from a medical background, so I have to follow the army to practice medicine, Battalion Commander Zhou is really good, he takes care of me in every way, and takes care of the old soldiers to help me, I am very grateful to him. ”
Ding Fenghai can be well, Ding Fengjun is naturally pleased, although the current living situation is a little unsatisfactory, but Ding Fengjun believes that life will get better and better.
The day of the college entrance examination came as scheduled, Ma Shiyu stood in front of the announced college entrance examination list, she carefully checked the names of the students who participated in the college entrance examination one by one, sure enough, there was no Ding Fengjun, Ma Shiyu sighed slightly, sorry for Ding Fengjun, she held a red cloth in her hand, and the red cloth was wrapped in a lunch box, this lunch box was forgotten by Ding Fengjun in the classroom, Ma Shiyu took it with him as a memory, since Ding Fengjun could not take the college entrance examination, then Ma Shiyu took his token to participate, with this lunch box in front of her, she can also have enough confidence in the exam。
The wheat is ripe, the large swaths of wheat are like waves in the sea under the summer breeze, rippling with the joy of harvest, and the hard-working people sweat hard in the field to harvest, this year is destined to be a bumper harvest year, and this year is also destined to be a year of separation.
The students who had studied hard for ten years were finally freed on the day of the end of the college entrance examination, and soon after, the results of the college entrance examination were posted. Ma Shiyu was admitted to the school she applied for as she wished, she originally wanted to apply for the same school as Ding Fengjun, but unfortunately Ding Fengjun didn't even have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, let alone go to college.
After thinking about it, Ma Shiyu felt that there was no need for the girl's family to fight for others, it was better to learn some art such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she applied for this media university, and when she went to school, Wang Yuzhen also went to send her, while others were not paying attention, she forced Ma Shiyu to give Ma Shiyu some money, Ma Shiyu didn't want to accept it, but she was afraid of making Wang Yuzhen unhappy, so she had to put it in her pocket.
Ma Shiyu's departure from home and Ding Fengjun's departure from home are very different, Ma Shiyu is the only one in this village who was admitted to university, the old and young masters of the whole village came out to see her off, as the village head Ding Shide is naturally not far behind, he organized the village trumpet team to play joyful music as Ma Shiyu's send-off song.
Ma Shiyu got into the car to a strange city with tears in her eyes, and her eyes were full of smiling faces under the sunset, but the sadness hidden in her heart was fiercely suppressed by her.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye......
In the past three years, Ma Shiyu has always kept writing letters to Ding Fengjun to express her feelings of missing Ding Fengjun, but unfortunately these letters have been lost like a stone sinking into the sea.
She doesn't know if Ding Fengjun didn't receive this letter or Ding Fengjun didn't reply at all, every winter and summer vacation, Ma Shiyu will go home, but it's a pity that these months of winter and summer vacation are the busiest season for Ding Fengjun in the brick kiln, and the two of them have always been unable to see each other for three years, which feels like Ma Shiyu has been following Ding Fengjun, but Ding Fengjun has never stopped his footsteps for a moment, he has been running and running......
Three years later, Ma Shiyu finally saw Ding Fengjun again......
