Principal Lin Bai is a native of Beijing. My father opened a grocery store called the Lin family's shop. In the spring of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, she was a fourth-year student at Normal University. The hot-blooded young man was full of ambition to serve the country, and joined the cadre group with his family and classmates, and threw himself into the rolling torrent of the southward army.

After joining the army, he was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Division, and in the third year, he married Zuo Dianwu, the director of the Political Department. In five or five years, both transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department, Lao Zuo was appointed as the director of the second division, and worked on the same floor as Sun Junhu, the director of the first division; Lin Bai was assigned to three places as section chiefs.

In five or seven years, the old left was classified as a rightist and sent to Xingkaihu for re-education through labor. Lin Bai insisted on not divorcing her husband, was dismissed as a section chief, transferred out of the Public Security Department, sent to Maoshan Farm as a general cadre, and dragged a pair of children to endure hard work for three years. When Lao Zuo's upbringing period expired, Sun Junhu accepted him to come to Maoshan for the reunion of his husband and wife, and arranged a second field to see the vegetable garden.

As the saying goes, husbands are honored and wives are expensive, and husbands are unlucky and wives are bound to suffer. Wu Bande knew Lin Bai's family background, so he was arrogant and disrespectful to her.

Lin Bai put down the phone and asked You Hongshan about the situation first. You Hongshan didn't want to say more, but insisted that he had seen it with his own eyes. Principal Lin asked, haven't you heard that you are talking to Cong Jing? You Hongshan's neck is bulging: I can't stand someone seduce! Principal Lin said, you should report this matter to me, how bad the impact of swaggering is there. You Hongshan was indignant: He is your celebrity, and you protect him. I'm not afraid of the impact, look at who stinks!

Lin Bai then talked to Cong Jing, with an attitude like a mother being kind and kind to her daughter. first talked about work matters, and then asked if there was a letter from home, and finally turned around and asked: I heard that you are talking about friends, right? Cong Jing smiled playfully and asked: With whom? Lin Bai had to say: I used to talk to Teacher You, but now I have Jiang Lesheng?

Cong Jing's face was flushed, but she was embarrassed to attack in front of the principal. She said: I have only been working for more than a year, and someone has said that he will talk to me, and the scoundrel will chew his tongue! If you don't talk nonsense in front of me, I can't expose his face. As for Jiang Lesheng, what is the matter? Principal Lin, you are busy with work, how can you have leisure to worry about these gossips?

Lin Bai sighed: I also hope that everyone will teach wholeheartedly and be calm.

Cong Jing stood up: Principal Lin, I'm leaving if there's nothing else to do.

Lin Bai hurriedly kept her, and asked ruthlessly: What happened to the first class yesterday? Director Wu of the Political Department called and said that some people in the school hugged and kissed in the office. Her eyes were fixed on Cong Jing.

Cong Jing's face turned pale suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: It's so despicable, it's so shameless! She took out the eye ointment she had brought with her, pointed to her red and swollen eyes, and told what had happened with tears in her eyes. At the end, he said hatefully: Principal Lin, even if I talk to someone, who I hug and kiss with, what does it matter to him? What kind of thing is a scoundrel who spits and splashes sewage on flowers when they can't pick flowers! After all, the girl who grew up in the city seems to be weak and not timid.

Lin Bai's conversation with Jiang Lesheng went smoothly: You are smart and talented, and I have always valued you. Your present is not easy to come by, and you must know how to cherish it. Didn't Secretary Sun have a promise? As your sister and friend, I remind you that people are self-aware and don't think about what is wrong. Be cautious in everything, cause others to misunderstand and then clarify passivity. You, including me, must not plant a fight, we can't get up after planting a fight!

Lin Bai, who had read psychology, noticed that there was a secret affection between Cong Jing and Jiang Lesheng, but if he was about to leave, he was in the bud. Don't let a story that shouldn't happen. The headmistress is kind to others, and in order to maintain the peace of her own small world, she gives bitter advice.

Jiang Lesheng's head buzzed, and it was like an explosion of pain. Looking at Principal Lin, who was as loving as an eldest sister, she nodded her head again and again.

At the teachers' meeting, Lin Bai had no choice but to talk in generalities: teachers should be exemplary teachers, and their words and deeds should be generous and decent, so as to avoid bringing adverse effects to the outside world. - She had no reason to order anyone to check, after all, no one had done anything out of line.

Cong Jing and Jiang Lesheng fell in love, and the rumors of hugging and kissing in the office seemed to have wings, and the acceleration spread one by one, two, two, and four, and various comments followed: Some people praised the talented and beautiful natural pair; Someone shook his head - no way! How could Cong Jing stay in Maoshan for a long time? You Hongshan's little brothers were angry - old You Bai was busy, and the monkey was happy in the moon. Most people tend to agree: these two people will definitely not make it! The subtext is concentrated in three question marks: What is Jiang Lesheng's origin? Can you agree organizationally? Cong Jing's parents are blind?

When the rumors spread to the field, the third sister Lehua was in a hurry and called him to go on Sunday.

He reported to his third brother-in-law that Cong Jing had written a letter during the summer vacation, he gave her a painting, and he was bumped into by You Hongshan by applying eye ointment. At the end, the third sister asked him: What do you think of yourself?

Jiang Lesheng confessed: I am so confused that I can't make up my mind.

The third sister said resolutely: You stay away from her! No matter how kind she is, no matter how beautiful she is, you will never succeed, the gap is too big! You just do what Principal Lin said, and you can't suffer a loss if you work hard, otherwise you will hit your head and bleed! Taking the university entrance examination is tantamount to talking about the sky, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, our conditions are too poor, the brain is too thin, and we don't need to touch it!

"The skin of the brain is too thin" is her spoken phrase.

After dinner, Jiang Lesheng returned to school. A bright moon hung in the middle of the sky, clouds drifted by, and the wilderness was sometimes as bright as day and sometimes hazy. When I returned to campus, I saw the office lights on and the sad accordion music.

With the door open, Cong Jing was playing the piano casually alone, as if waiting for him.

He was hesitating to enter or not, and Cong Jing found him: Liu, went to my sister's house?

The word "you" is not added in front of "sister", it seems that my sister has been shared by them, and Jiang Lesheng sounds very kind. He was thinking quickly: should you tell her about the conversation with the third sister? And to put it out or to say selectively? He instinctively wanted to close the office door.

Cong Jing stopped: Don't close the door, let's open the door and speak generously, lest the scoundrel chew the root of his tongue!

The "scoundrel" is drinking tea from Honglu at the moment. "Big brother" asked him where he and Cong Jing had progressed, and he sighed and said: The lonely sail is far away and the sky is clear, and only the Yangtze River skyline is flowing! After speaking, he smacked the tea powder on the ground.

Cong Jing smiled sadly: It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to help me apply eye medicine. Did Principal Lin criticize you? Did your sister reproach you? This time, she deliberately added "you" in front of "sister".

Jiang Lesheng shook his head: I didn't do anything wrong, how could my sister blame me. I don't understand, why is Mr. You like this? During this time, I was always holding back my energy, and that day I learned to make fun of my name in public, and this time there were rumors out of nothing. It doesn't matter if I'm a big man, it hurts you too much.

"Liu" met for her sake in advance, and Cong Jing was deeply moved. She said that the root is in me, he is begging to chase me for nothing, and I ignore him to be angry with you.

Jiang Lesheng eagerly confessed: I have no thoughts about you, I just want to do a good job...... You mobilized me to take the college entrance examination next year because of your kindness, but I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, so ...... I want to give up.

These words contain the reminders and advice of Principal Lin and the third sister, full of sadness and helplessness.

Cong Jing's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: Are you really willing to be buried? I thought you were a person who had the perseverance to never give up, but I didn't expect it to be useless. You've disappointed me so much!

He interrupted the revision of his high school courses, but continued without stopping for a few days, and he was still unwilling to give up after thinking about it. Now that the flame of hope has been lit, he does not hesitate to make 100 percent efforts even if the certainty of success is only 1 percent. - He couldn't refuse Cong Jing's kindness, and he couldn't bear to break her heart. Cong Jing later saw that he was silent and calculating math problems, and said to himself that this person still knows a little bit.

After that, until the winter vacation, they returned to the initial state of acquaintance, met and said hello, and there were no extra words. In the first class of the day, everyone did their own things, and the office was so quiet that no one found it, You Hongshan snooped many times and found nothing, and he was secretly proud in his heart: a small action was a big success, and the opponent was vulnerable!

What made You Hongshan excited was that the hope of the peak loop was just around the corner: Honglu revealed that the organ branch had approved his application for joining the party and had reported it to the farm party committee for approval. Hmph, once the long tassel is in your hand, why worry about not being able to restrain the dragon!

After New Year's Day, You Hongshan told Cong Jing happily: I joined the party! The three classmates who came with our Heishui Normal changed their careers, and you are the only one who shares my happiness.

Cong Jing saw that he flickered and stopped talking, so he simply picked out the words for him: What do you mean, you are very happy, only I am qualified to be light, right?

You're right, but not entirely. I have the responsibility and obligation to help you cultivate you, I am confident that I have the ability to make you happy for a lifetime, and I am willing to fight for you for life!

You Hongshan swore that he couldn't wait to take out his heart.

Cong Jing pretended to be surprised and raised her willow eyebrows: Yo, I'm not the best ideal, it's worth your life? Don't you dislike me, a person who hugs and kisses with others?

You Hongshan couldn't answer. remembered that she complained to Wu Bande not long ago, and forgot the taboo, and Jiang Lesheng made her implicated. He didn't confess in a hurry, saying that he was talking nonsense, and he really didn't hug and kiss, just to prevent Jiang Lesheng from approaching her. He grabbed her little hand and said softly: You fight, I am willing to be punished.

Cong Jing pulled out his hand and raised his head, slapped him hard, and giggled: Don't blame me, you let me beat him. After beating, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, threw it on the ground and walked away.

You Hongshan picked up the handkerchief, covered his nose and sniffed non-stop, the more he thought about it, the more it tasted, and he was drunk that night.

It's winter break. A jeep was parked outside the dormitory door, and the driver was helping Cong Jing put his luggage in the car. The engineer of the regional transportation bureau came to Maoshan to inspect the reconstructed road section, and her father instructed her to take her home by the way. Cong Jing shook hands with the teachers who gathered around to see them off one by one, and congratulated them in advance on the Spring Festival of the 66th year. Jiang Lesheng finally stepped forward, she fluttered her long eyelashes and whispered: Do you remember to owe me a letter?

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky. The jeep disappeared into the confusion of the wind and snow. Jiang Lesheng felt like his heart had been hollowed out.

All the teachers went home. As in the summer, he was left alone on the empty campus. The third sister's house only has one kang, counting the younger sister, three adults and two children, and there is no accommodation for him. Four years away from his hometown, his mother and two younger brothers are still living in humiliation in the palm of Xu Qihu's hands. How many times did he see each other in his dreams, and he woke up with a wet pillow - he had no home to return to.

Since last year, the state has had a policy of reimbursement of travel expenses for employees visiting relatives. He wanted to go home on a whim, and as soon as he calmed down, he dispelled this thought: the monthly salary has no savings except for subsidizing the family, and the trip home is at least thirty or fifty if he does not count the travel expenses, and he is naturally unable to make the trip due to shyness; What's more, the fish that slipped through the net back then returned to their hometowns rashly, and it is very likely that they will be in trouble. Xu Qihu is still on stage, and unexpected disasters may happen at any time!

During the winter vacation, he arranged his work and rest time like going to work, got up early to do exercises, run, and play ball, and reviewed his high school courses in the morning, planning to revisit the homework he had lost for five years. In the afternoon, I read books and practiced writing articles, and prepared to submit articles to "Youth" again, but I did not have much material to accumulate. Looking through recent publications, there are no refreshing works, and most of the articles are fake and empty, with obvious traces of fabrication. He can only tell the truth, and he lacks the ability to make things up.

Spend most of the evening playing erhu. Liu Tianhua's solo piece, Cong Jing gave him "Two Hundred Famous Songs at Home and Abroad" Many tunes are so wonderful that they are intoxicating to pull up. Cong Jing would play the accordion and sing by himself, and he also learned to sing by himself. The sound of singing and piano floated out of the window and dissipated into the night sky at minus 30 degrees.

Cong Jing said "owe me a letter" before leaving, clearly reminding him to write to her. Sometimes when he looked up, her beautiful shadow appeared in the opposite seat like a sea tower, looking at him with affection. Every night before going to bed, I miss the deepest, and one camera after another passes through my mind: she is like a slim hibiscus, singing while playing the accordion, with tears in her eyes; She birded with the kids and scolded him bitterly for "letting me down too much...... Several times I picked up a pen to write to her, but I didn't know what to write when I spread out the letter. Thinking of Principal Lin's advice that "people are noble and self-aware", and remembering the words of the third sister, "You will never succeed" and "otherwise you will break your head and bleed", he tore the letter to shreds again and again.

He tried to restrain himself from thinking about her anymore, but it was difficult to do so completely. At the beginning of the best restraint, he immediately braked and forced himself to draw his attention back to the book, just as he used to forget about hunger with reading.
