Section 913 Re-taking the Road of Educated Youth (I)
A luxury bullet business car slid out of the hotel, and in addition to the driver Liu Dacheng, there were also Ye Zhiran and Sima Zhan and his wife in the car.
Before leaving, Feng Hanxuan repeatedly told him that if there was anything on the road, he must call him as soon as possible, and Ye Zhiran agreed very seriously.
It was around 9 a.m. because it was the height of summer and it was very hot. Liu Dacheng turned on the air conditioner, and the cold air was like fog, drifting from the air supply outlet to the back.
The front and rear seats of this car are very wide, and the compartment has a certain height, which is much more comfortable than sitting in a car. Sima Shu ~ Ji and his wife Sun Yu sat together, talking very interested, after leaving the provincial capital, he pointed to the rice fields on both sides of the highway and said: "Xiaoyu, I remember that when we first arrived in the countryside, we didn't dare to go to the fields, wearing rubber shoes, and were teased by the old farmers in the village for a while. ”
"Yes, it's still your male classmates who are more daring, and the last ones to go to the field are all boys."
At that time, the leader called, and countless intellectual young people went to the frontier, to the countryside, to the most difficult environment, and to change the world with their own hands. The mind is much purer than in the current materialistic era, and the social atmosphere is good, so you don't have to worry about thieves when you open the door to sleep.
When the car drove to the fork road from the provincial capital to Jianan City, Liu Dacheng stopped and let Zhang Dabin get into the car.
It turned out that Ye Zhiran learned that he would accompany Sima Shu alone~ After remembering so many places, he was worried about safety, so he temporarily called Zhang Dabin and asked him to accompany him, so that he could not only be their bodyguard, but also take turns driving with Liu Dacheng, and the safety factor was much higher.
Ye Zhiran introduced Zhang Dabin to Sima and his wife: "Sima Shu ~ Ji, Sister Sun, this is Zhang Dabin." My former driver is very good at driving. Let him and Liu Dacheng take turns driving. ”
Sima Zhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then it's hard work for Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu." ”
The first stop is Changjia.
The rural area where Sima Zhan joined the queue was the Victory Brigade of Yuanhong Commune in Changjia County, which has now been renamed Shengli Village of Yuanhong Township. Yuanhong Township is located in the southwest of Mashi Town, which is a relatively remote rural area, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The business car drove to the village headquarters of Shengli Village, and then there was no road. Ye Zhiran turned around and asked: "Sima Shu ~ Ji, where do we go first?" ”
Sima Zhan got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment. Sigh: "Although the houses are basically renovated, the road is still the same as before. We were in line and the bus drove here, and then we had to walk 30 minutes to our village. ”
Sun Yu smiled: "Don't be emotional, we lack exercise now, let's walk over, didn't we measure the earth with our feet like this back then?" ”
Yuanhong Township is a rural area where grain cultivation is the mainstay. Shengli Village consists of 18 natural villages, each of which has about 50 or 60 households, and the houses are built next to each other to form a small village, and then, between the small villages and the small villages are farmland. Organic farming roads are connected.
At this time, some cinders were paved on the surface of the machine farming road, so it looked better than when Sima Zhan cut the line. Sima Shu~ Ji said to Ye Zhiran: "Xiao Ye, we have lived in Yuanhong Township for about a year, and there are more than 300 students in our group, organized into a battalion. I am the deputy company commander, and Sun Yu is the company communicator. Hehe. It sounds like a battalion or a company like a military organization, but in fact, it is completely to the countryside to repair the earth. But there is half a day a week to organize study, hold meetings to exchange ideas and agricultural experience, basically the educated youth who cut the queue to each natural village will gather in the school in the village, hmm, see? That's the school. ”
Sima Zhan pointed to a small school not far away and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
The school has two buildings, one with four floors in front and a two-story building at the back, and a playground in the middle, with nearly 500 square meters. Such schools are already relatively formal in rural areas.
When Sima Zhan took Ye Zhiran and others to the gate of the school, he saw that the school had been closed and the campus was occupied by a garment factory.
Sima Zhan pointed to a black-on-white plaque at the school gate with some pity and said: "Back then, 'Shengli Primary and Secondary School' was a place for us to study every week. We only meet once a week, and sometimes we organize theatrical performances. The playground was crowded with peasants watching the performance. Sun Yu was an active performer at that time. ”
Ye Zhiran saw Sun Yu's still smart eyes and well-proportioned facial features, and knew that she was a flower among the educated youth, and said with a smile: "I can see that Sister Sun must have been a beauty who could cause the clouds to move in all directions, but I don't know how Sima Shu ~ Ji caught up with it, hehe, I feel that Sister Sun must have taken a fancy to Sima Shu ~ Ji's extraordinary ability when she was willing to marry wronged, and her eyes are like torches." ”
used the word "wronged marriage" to praise Sun Yu's beauty and talent, and then used the word "eyes like a torch" to set off Sima Shu~'s ability to remember, and praised two people in one sentence. Sima Shu~ Ji smiled and pointed at Ye Zhiran with his finger, and said, "Mayor Ye said this at a very high level!" ”
"Wherever it is, that's exactly what it is."
Walking into the village where Sima Zhan originally cut the queue, and walking into the village, Sima Shu~ Ji looked at a house on the east side of the threshing floor and said: "At that time, a house of educated youths was built here, not big, and the five of us lived here, but unfortunately this house has been demolished, otherwise you can take a photo and send it to a few other people to see." ”
Sima Zhan said that a new building had been built on the foundation of the house, and they walked to the front of the new building and sighed here.
These people are actually very eye-catching, from their momentum, clothing to their voices, they seem a little out of place in this country. So there are many people who have noticed them.
A woman came out of the new building and asked, "Are you looking for someone or something?" ”
Sima Zhan looked back and was stunned, and then the woman was also stunned.
“…… Sima? She asked hesitantly.
The woman seemed to be about the same age as Sima Zhan, but rural women tend to grow old, and their actual age should be slightly younger than him.
Sima Zhan looked at her with some excitement and asked, "Are you Ding Chunhua?" ”
The woman named Ding Chunhua was obviously happy, and said with a smile: "Is it really Sima?" Come in and sit for a while. Then he looked at Sun Yu and suddenly said, "You are Sun ...... Swift, the art team. ”
Thirty years have passed, and the originally slim woman is now a middle-aged woman, and the knife of time has carved some wrinkles on their faces.
Sima Zhan took the lead in walking into Ding Chunhua's house and took a seat in her living room.
The exterior of this house looks good, but the interior of the house is very ordinary. The living room is supposed to be an important room, but the walls are plastered with lime, and then the floor is a thin layer of cement, because the cement is small, and the ground is a little sandy.
Most of the houses in the countryside are like this, no matter how well they are decorated, they are all four-walled, and there is no furniture.
Sima Zhan said: "Ding Chunhua, I remember that your house should still be five or six meters behind, how did you get here?" ”
The house of the educated youth was built not far from the threshing floor, very close to Ding Chunhua's house. The little girl had just graduated from middle school at that time, and she was highly educated in the countryside, so she had a good impression of these educated youths and often came to their house to chat. She actually likes Sima Zhan a little, and after other educated youths saw this, they often made fun of Sima Zhan. A year later, Sima Zhan followed the "big army" to the "May Fourth Farm" in Shuimen County, and Ding Chunhua also visited the May Fourth Farm.
For her, it may be a memorable first love in her life, even if Sima Zhan didn't mean it at the beginning.
Sima Zhan asked, "Hmm?" How did you...... Still at home? ”
Ding Chunhua understood what he meant, and replied: "My father didn't want to marry me off, so he stayed at home to recruit a son-in-law." ”
"Hmm, where do you go to work?"
"He? I went to Hudong to work, and I only went home when I met a festival. ”
"Where's the kid?"
"I went to study, I have two, the eldest is a son, who is studying at the provincial city engineering college, and will graduate at the end of this month, and he has not found a job yet, and he runs around the provincial city; My daughter is waiting for the notice of the end of the college entrance examination, and I went to play with my classmates today. ”
"Well, that's good."
"Both children are quite competitive, and like when I was a child, they like to read."
They spoke so lightly, Sima Zhan seemed to be willing to talk to her like this, while Sun Yu just listened quietly.
"What about you?" Ding Chunhua glanced at Sima Zhan, then at Sun Yu, and asked, "Are you married to Sister Yuyan?" How old is the child? ”
Sun Yu asked, "Hey, Ding Chunhua, I've always wanted to ask you at that time, why do you call me Swift?" ”
The swift is not very good-looking, with black feathers and a little red in the beak.
"Well, because you can dance, and you can do somersaults, and we feel like you're as light as a swallow."
"Hah! It turned out to be a good word, but I still thought about it for several years. ”
"You haven't told me how old your child is."
Sima Zhan said: "My son is also in college, a sophomore, in the capital. ”
“…… It's far away. Ding Chunhua sighed, and then asked, "You are also working in the capital now?" ”
"Yes, in the capital."
"I'm here today to see where I lived back then, right?" Because Ding Chunhua has a certain level of education, she opens her mouth with the tone of a scholar, which is not commensurate with the vicissitudes of life. "It's rare that you still think of this place." After saying this, maybe I had a feeling, and tears flashed in the corners of my eyes.
Perhaps, this rural girl who thought she had read books and was no worse than the people in the city also had dreams such as marrying educated youth, but such a dream must have been lost in the corner of the pillow for 30 years. And the unexpected appearance of Sima Zhan evoked some kind of memory.
Man, that's sometimes the case. Maybe Sima Zhan won't come to this place, and he won't have the opportunity to meet again in this life. This time, there is a lot more sentimentality.
