Lu Li originally thought that with his experience of working in the countryside for many years, it would only take another year to officially put down such a job, and it should not be difficult to pick it up again, but the facts taught him a grim lesson! By the time the sun began to shine on the top of his head in the early morning, Lu Li's short stubble was already soaked with crystal beads of sweat, the sickle in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, the palm of his hand was wet and greasy, and the original smooth and white palm also began to redden, blistering, and once exerted, it was hot and painful. He muttered curses in his heart, it's only a year, why has he regressed so much? Even harder than the first time I did it?

"Xiaoxiao, how is it, are you tired?"

"It's okay, uncle," Luli gasped like a bellows, his chest and abdomen rising violently, "you...... What do you think? If you're tired, take a break. ”

"Uncle is fine, the work in the field, you just can't put it down, just like me, after so many years of work, go to the field, hey! I didn't get up for three days! ”

Lu Li really felt a little tired, nodded listlessly, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Isn't it? Do you know, last year, if it weren't for you, I would have been a dead man! Later, the old prince and his boy asked me, who is the boy in the city who helped harvest the corn? As soon as I talked to them, they were all speechless! Xiaoxiao, I want to say, I still have a friendship with our father! Merchants Lin and Dong'ange Zhuang came and left so many educated youths, and there were not a few who could still think of coming back to see, let alone coming back to help with farm work. ”

"I'm young, and I don't have anything to do in the city, and most of the other people probably work in factories, which are tightly managed, unlike me, who can come out if they want to. In fact, when it comes to feelings about the place where they cut the queue and settle down, they are not necessarily much worse than me. ”

Shang Kang smiled and said nothing, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, the eldest of our family will come back in September this year, so don't run away this year." If you want to come, you can drink and chat with your uncle! Good no good? ”

"What, Big Brother demobilized? So, are you going to go back here? ”

"What else? We rural people, aren't we just digging in the soil? It's good to let the kid go out to see the world, come back and marry a daughter-in-law for him, and live a peaceful and stable life. Shang Kang sighed and said, "Although he is not my own child, this kind of thing is ...... It's done for him, and he will be worthy of his mother in the future. ”

Luli thought for a moment, said no more, bent down again, and swung his scythe.

After the summer grain harvest in the morning, he followed Shang Kangyue into the adobe house with strong spirits, threw his almost tired body onto the kang, and fell asleep in less than a moment.

When he woke up, it was dark, Luli turned over and sat up, looked at the clock in the house, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, hurriedly got down to put on his shoes, and rushed towards the wheat field with a puff of smoke.

Shang Kang said that he had already cut out a section of the road, and when he heard the voice behind him, he looked back, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled, "Xiaoxiao, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I didn't call you, just rest when you are tired, uncle can do it alone." Luli shook his head, didn't talk to him much, swung his scythe, and moved quickly.

This time I worked until eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dark, and the old and young walked on the path home by starlight,...... "Little...... Hey, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Uncle, what are you talking about? How many years have we been in the house, and who still doesn't know who? ...... you were back then? Yes, maybe something was wrong, so what? I disobeyed the commune's order to go down to the river to catch fish. What is that? ”

"Uncle may also be old, and I will talk to you about this, I just want to talk to you in my heart, and one day, if Uncle is gone......"

"What do you say? How old are you, I remember you were born in 31, right? I'm only 50 years old this year, and I'm still going to grow up in the future. We'll have to deal with it in the future! By the way, uncle, I forgot to tell you, I'm a partner. ”

Shang Kang said, "Really? Or is it the same Niko who came back in the first place? ”

"No, it's another one, it's my elementary school classmate, and now I'm in college."

"Amazing! Little deflated calf, got a college student? Or elementary school classmates? What are you calling that...... Coming? ”

"Childhood sweetheart." Lu Li said with a smile: "Uncle, take good care of your body and bones, and one day, the two of us get married and have children, you are still his grandfather!" ”

Shang Kang laughed and patted him on the back heavily, "Little, good boy!" Uncle knows that he didn't hurt you in vain! It's a good piece of material. Let's go, let's hurry up, finish eating, rest early, and we have to go to the ground tomorrow! ”

Lu Li stayed in Ange Village for half a month, which can be regarded as reliving the life of cutting in line, and when he helps Shang Kang say that all the wheat in the field is harvested, threshed, and returned to the warehouse, it is time for him to return, "Xiaoxiao...... You, are you still here this year? The old man's dim eyes were filled with tears, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't Uncle say that you should come over to help with the work, Uncle...... I want to talk to you! ”

The tip of Lu Li's nose was sour, he nodded with a forced smile, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, as long as I don't leave Tian (Tianjin) City, I will definitely come!" When the time comes, let's get together again - the weather won't be so hot by then, and I invite you to go to the county and have a good drink! ”

"Hey, hey!"

After saying goodbye to Shang Kang, Lu Li boarded the train to Beijing (Beijing) and walked out of the Beijing (Beijing) Station in a short time, where he was also here, but unlike the last time, this time he wanted to go to the United Front Work Department to find Zhu Jiahua, who had not been seen for many years - the only thing he knew about the United Front Work Department was that this was a state functional organ, and he didn't know exactly where it was located in Beijing (Beijing).

Look around, there are a lot of people in and out of the square in front of the station, Beijing (Beijing) is really worthy of being the capital of China, even in 1980, when the economy was very underdeveloped, the people who come and go here to hold meetings, negotiate, visit relatives and ask friends are still bringing considerable prosperity to this ancient capital with a history of nearly 1,000 years, compared with it, the sky (Tianjin) is too far away!

Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to go to Peking University first, wait until he found Liang Xin, and let him take him. After all, this is the place where he studied and fought, and when it comes to the local geography of Beijing (Beijing), he should be much more familiar with it.

I took a car all the way to Peking University and found the teaching building and dormitory of the Department of Philosophy, but Liang Xin was not there? I asked his classmate and roommate, and the reply was: "Liang Xin, it seems that he went out with Xiaobai." Are you going to the Summer Palace? ”

"Little ...... White? ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm his friend."

"Oh." The classmate is much older than Lu Li, and it is obvious that he was admitted on his own after the university resumed enrollment, "Xiaobai is a female classmate in our department, by the way, it seems that you are also from Tianjin!" ”

Lu Li recalled, it seems to be a little impressed, last year's New Year, Liang Xin returned to Tianjin, once said that there was a female classmate of Tian (Tianjin), and said that he would take her to Binjiang Road and let him see, and then Liang Jinxiu was sick, and the matter was put down. Thinking of this, Luli smiled: It seems, what kind of Xiaobai is this, is his object? Stinky boy, and he actually keeps it a secret? When I see him again, I have to interrogate him!

He asked this classmate for a pen and paper, wrote a letter to Liang Xin, pressed it under his pillow, turned his head and walked out of the dormitory building, stood downstairs, looked at the direction, and walked towards the university gate. Seeing that the tall archway of the main gate of Beijing (Beijing) University was not far away, a woman's call suddenly came from beside him, "Lu Li? ”

Lu Li Huoran turned around, and two laugh lines exploded on his clear face, "Zhao Min? ”

The two of them have not been seen for nearly half a year, compared with when they were on Binjiang Road, her complexion is even more white and delicate, the curly bangs on her forehead cover her unique adze, her eyes are wide, looking at him without blinking, it is a look of surprise, "You ......" She took a few steps forward and stood again, "Why are you here?" Or are you coming back from Yangcheng? ”

"Xiao Zhao, who is this?"

Lu Li noticed that there was still a boy standing next to Zhao Min, who was delicate and delicate, looking very quiet, with fair skin, although it was not as white and beautiful as Zhao Min, but it was better than himself; The man was obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhao Min and Lu Li's enthusiastic actions, frowned, and glared at the girl, "Oh, Lu Li, let me introduce you, this is my classmate, Yang Haoyi." Xiao Yang, this is Lu Li, my original junior high school classmate in Tianjin. ”

Lu Li gave Zhao Min a look, the latter's jade face was slightly red, but he didn't speak, so he understood that he didn't guess wrong, "Hello, my name is Lu Li." ”

Yang Haoyi shook hands with him coldly, and intuitively didn't like the man in front of him! "The ......"

Zhao Min noticed his faux pas, and immediately said, "Xiao Yang, you go back, I'll have a few words with my old classmates." ”

Yang Haoyi was still a little reluctant, he couldn't stand the girl's glare, and immediately turned around obediently, and walked into the depths of the campus alone, "Zhao Min, can you?" Lu Li smiled and quipped: "Those who are obedient enough are about to catch up with my second sister." ”

Zhao Min glared at him fiercely, and suddenly laughed, "You, the stammering is all right now, and you have become so poor again!" Say, what are you doing when you come to Beijing this time? ”

Luli explained from the beginning, and finally said, "Now it seems that everyone is older, isn't it?" ”

"Isn't it? Do you think it's still a child? By the way, Liang Xin is a good guy now, I heard that the department intends to develop him into the party, and at the same time is ready to let him stay in school after graduation. I saw him once at school last week, and he walked with the wind on his feet, and I didn't know what he was up to. ”

"So, what is his attitude?"

"What...... Attitude? ”

"I mean, staying in school?"

"I didn't have time to ask, but I heard that he didn't give a specific answer, saying that he wanted to go home and ask his family for their opinions." Zhao Min said with a smile: "Actually, I think this is all redundant, how good is it to stay at Peking University to teach?" Do you know what a rare opportunity this is? How many people think they can't get it. ”

Luli was silent and did not speak. "By the way, you're going to the United Front Work Department, right? I'll take you. ”

"It's almost time to eat, don't run, tell me the address, and I'll find it myself."

"How's that going to work? You haven't been to Beijing (Beijing), and you're not familiar with the environment here, so you don't know how many ways to take the bus, so I'll take you there. ”

"Do you know this place now? Is it that he goes out with Xiao Yang every day to create such a geographical connection? ”

Zhao Min smiled bitterly and didn't take such a topic, "Let's go, let's go in the car together." (To be continued.) )
