In the spring of 1956, the three major transformations tended to be white-hot, and society flourished.

As the most prosperous economic area, Shanghai is full of opportunities and challenges, and at that time, law and order were unstable, and for many people, it also represented helplessness and death.

Xiao Wu got on the train to Shanghai after a rainy day, and he was excited to surprise Jiang Rong, but he didn't envisage more than a dozen dialogue scenarios for this meeting, each of which made him laugh.

When Xiao Wu was leaving, he told Zhang Xiumei to take care of herself at home, and asked Zhao Dahai to go to his house from time to time.

The old trains of those days still rattled and whistled like the neighing of wild horses.

Xiao Wu has always wanted to go out and see, see the so-called great rivers and mountains, see the world's bigness, and the prosperity of the world.

After arriving in Shanghai, Xiao Wu spent half a day to find Jiang Rong's school, he found a small hotel at the school gate to wash up first, and went into the school to find Jiang Rong without sleeping. It was the first time he had seen such a big school, and even though he had been in the society for a few years, hanging out with a group of mud pigs and doggy men all day long, he still liked the quiet or lively environment of the school.

Xiao Wu seemed to remember that when he was very young, when Wu Qingyun was invited to Qiantang Town Primary School, everyone asked Wu Qingyun to see who would be the champion in this group of children, Wu Qingyun did not refer to Jiang Sheng, nor did he refer to Jiang Rong, but said with great certainty that he would be the champion in the future.

If fate hadn't played tricks like this, maybe Xiao Wu would have been able to read and write in a clean and bright school now, and discuss the future construction of the motherland with a group of educated youths who talked about their ideals.

At that time, the School of Medicine of Fudan University did not have a branch, Xiao Wu inquired inside for an hour and did not find out Jiang Rong's class, Xiao Wu looked for Jiang Rong's name in the commendation column, looked around and did not see Jiang Rong's name, and then Xiao Wu went to the student union office, but the student union did not have the name Jiang Rong.

The president of the student union was a young man with glasses who was the same age as Xiao Wu, and he asked Xiao Wu to wait at the door, and he checked the list of students in the Academic Affairs Office to see which class Jiang Rong was in.

After a while, the young man walked out of the door and asked Xiao Wu if he had found the wrong campus, and there was no name Jiang Rong in the medical department.

Xiao Wu said: "Impossible, isn't the medical department of Fudan University unique to this campus, and the address here was left when Velvet first wrote the letter, he hasn't contacted his family for more than a year, and now that the people are gone, how can a big living person be gone?" ”

"Don't worry, even if something happens to her, the list of students in the Academic Affairs Office will not cross out the name, if Jiang Rong is not in the medical department, then it must be in other departments, or you can come in and look for the list with me." The young man beckoned Xiao Wu in.

"Thank you, Jiang Rongliu's address is here, she must be in this academy." Xiao Wu said.

So Xiao Wu and the young man checked the list of students together, and after a while, the young man suddenly said: "I found it, you see if it's this." ”

Xiao Wu looked at the name that the young man was referring to, and it was Jiang Rong's name, and the word Rong was rarely used as a name, so the chance of a duplicate name was very small, but the name of Jiang Rong appeared in a place where it shouldn't have appeared, the Japanese Department.

"How can it be a Japanese department?" Xiao Wu muttered, and suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

Xiao Wu thanked him, said goodbye to the young man, and walked towards the women's dormitory of the Japanese department.

At that time, there were some children selling roses at the entrance of the school, and there were also children selling roses at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

The boys in the girls' dormitory were not allowed to enter, and Xiao Wu couldn't find out which dormitory Jiang Rong lived in at the dormitory manager, so he stood at the door and asked one by one: "Hello classmates, do you know which dormitory Jiang Rong is in?" ”

Xiao Wu kept asking at the door for half an hour, and finally a girl nodded, she looked at Xiao Wu strangely and asked, "What are you looking for Jiang Rong?" ”

Xiao Wu said a little embarrassed: "I'm from Jiang Rong's hometown, I'm his boyfriend, Jiang Rong doesn't know why I haven't been in touch with my family for a long time, nothing happened to her, right?" ”

"What can she do?" When the girl heard Xiao Wu say this, her face suddenly became interested, she looked at Xiao Wu again, and asked, "Are you really Jiang Rong's boyfriend?" ”

Xiao Wu nodded, his face was shy, but he was a little proud in his heart, when Xiao Wu came, he also deliberately cut the most popular hairstyle at the moment, combed his hair back and combed it shiny, for which he also wore a shirt that he didn't wear on weekdays, for fear of embarrassing Jiang Rong.

The girl said, "You are so tall, you can look good, what kind of girl is not good." ”

The girl's words were full of disdain, but Xiao Wu frowned, and he asked, "What do you mean by this, classmate?" ”

"I don't mean anything else, I see that you are an honest man, I advise you to go back wherever you come, you see the bowl in my hand." The girl pointed to the rice bowl in her hand, knocked on the bell twice, pouted and said: "We are eating in the cafeteria, your Jiangrong is not used to eating these, you go to the school gate to guard now, there is about an hour to go to class, pay attention to the car parked at the door, you can see her get off the car." But you're really going to pick the time, and it's ironic to pick Valentine's Day. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she carried the bowl into the dormitory building, Xiao Wu was suddenly a little dazed, he didn't know what was going on.

"Sir, buy a bouquet of flowers, today is Valentine's Day, buy a bouquet for your girlfriend and she will be happy." A little boy pulls out a bouquet of flowers and hands it to Little Five.

Xiao Wu came back to his senses, took the roses from the little boy's hand, paid the money, and walked towards the main entrance of the school according to the girl's wishes.

At that time, Xiao Wu felt that the hour was particularly long, he seemed to be waiting for an exposure and trial, and he kept convincing himself in his heart that Jiang Rong loved him, and that girl must have slandered Jiang Rong out of jealousy.

Until a classic car stopped at the door, a man and a woman got out of the car, the woman was dressed fashionably, painted with red lips, her hair was pulled up, and she smiled happily, and the young man was dressed in a straight suit, but it made people feel a little strange, and the words in his mouth made Xiao Wu even more incomprehensible.

"Islanders?"

After the two got out of the car, they walked side by side towards the school, the flower in Xiao Wu's hand had been pinched by him, and Xiao Wu shouted: "Jiang Rong." ”

The girl turned around, and the moment she saw Xiao Wu, her face suddenly became embarrassed, and she frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"You haven't written to me for a long time, and you haven't called home back, I thought something happened to you, why don't you go home for the New Year." Xiao Wu said incoherently.

The young man who walked side by side with Jiang Rong turned around and said something in Japanese to Jiang Rong, Jiang Rong smiled awkwardly and replied in Japanese.

Xiao Wu asked: "Are you speaking island dialect, aren't you studying medicine, how did you change to Japanese, this person is from an island country?" ”

Jiang Rong said: "Xiao Wu, you go back first, and I'll look for you at night." ”

"Where am I going, where are you looking for me?" Xiao Wu asked.

The young man from the island country had an unkind face, and he spoke again, as if asking Jiang Rong who the person in front of him was.

Xiao Wu's face suddenly had a layer of anger, and he pointed at the young man of the island country and shouted: "I advise you to speak humanly, otherwise I will kill you!" ”

The young man of the island country was pointed at by Xiao Wu, his face was also angry, he took a step forward and pushed Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu didn't move, grabbed the young man's wrist with one hand, and broke it hard, the young man immediately screamed and knelt on the ground.

"Little Wu, don't hurt him!" Jiang Rong anxiously shouted to pull Xiao Wu away.

"Who is he?" Xiao Wu asked with red eyes, kicking the young man away.

The surrounding students all gathered around, and Jiang Rong said, "You go!" ”

With a slap, Xiao Wu slapped Jiang Rong's face, and Xiao Wu said: "Do you think you feel dirty, if you don't like me, just say it, I won't say anything more if I find a Chinese, why find an island country ghost?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, Jiang Rong raised his head and said, "Yes, I'm dirty, he is also from the island country, he is my boyfriend, are you satisfied?" ”

"You forgot how your father Jiang Zhengyang died, he was shot by the island country, but you are with the island people, our mother is seriously ill and has not died at home." Xiao Wu said fiercely.

Jiang Rong's face showed stubbornness and a sad smile, she glanced at Xiao Wu with a cold look, then turned around and picked up the island youth and walked towards the school.

"Jiang Rong, the house at home has been built, and I have informed everyone that I am going to marry you during the New Year, how can you explain if you let me go back." Xiao Wu suddenly burst into tears.

Jiang Rong said coldly: "That's your business. ”

"You go back with me, if I do something wrong, I can't change it, I can earn money if you want it, I know you want to learn Japanese to find Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng is dead, why do you need to be with an island country?" Xiao Wu shouted at the school gate in the crowd.

And Jiang Rong was resolute and didn't even look back.

At that moment, no one could understand Xiao Wu's mood, he burst out all the grievances over the years in an instant, knelt in front of the school gate, tears welled up.

A man of more than one meter and eight meters howled and cried unreservedly.
