The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

After eating, it was dark. www.biquge.info Yuxiu returned to the radio room, turned on the record player and loudspeaker, played a few popular revolutionary songs, and announced that the radio program of the Chaling Brigade of Honghua Commune had ended that day, and then sat on the edge of the bed and began to continue to learn to sing the song "Yingshan Hong". Perhaps it was her singing that caught his attention, and she saw him come to her door, pause for a moment, look through the half-open crack into the house, and then go to the door and stop, as if listening to her sing.

At first, she was just singing quietly, but when she sang "If you want to look forward to the arrival of the Red Army, the mountains will be full of Youying Mountain Red", she couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, so she sang loudly. Yuxiu has been a famous tea picker in the Chaling Brigade since she was in elementary school, and she also represented the school in the county performance when she was in middle school. Her singing voice is affectionate and bright, with far-reaching artistic conception, whether it is in a local accent or an official accent, she can sing a bright and intoxicating singing voice like a nightingale.

She sang it several times in a row. It was as if the song was meant to be sung to him. Because it's been a long time since she's sung like this. But, immediately, she felt a little embarrassed: why was she so emotional and impulsive in front of a stranger? It struck her as both childish and ridiculous. It's nothing to be naïve and ridiculous, but what will people think?

After a while, she heard footsteps stop in front of the door, and she thought that he must have wanted to come in so that he could talk to her, for he had nowhere to go on this dark and rainy night, not even the brigade headquarters. She also wanted to let him in, because she had nothing to do and wanted to talk to him. If you are connected, you will be happy, and if you are separated by heart, you will be lonely.

She hurriedly cleaned up the room briefly, tidied up the quilt on the bed, folded the clothes on the bed neatly, and wiped the amplifier, record player, and microphone on the table with a rag. As a sister, Yuxiu is the most reluctant to let others say that she is sloppy. When everything was finished, she sat on the edge of the bed, holding the songbook and waiting for him to come in.

She thought he would knock on the door or push it in, but he didn't knock or push it in, but stood in front of it for a while, and then walked into the passage and into the house next door to her.

Yuxiu waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the next room, so she thought that he would definitely not come, so she began to wash her face and feet, and then closed the big iron door outside, covered the door of her own house, went up to the bed and sat down, and picked up the book "Brief Introduction to Rural Medicine" that was placed next to the pillow and read it. This is a training material issued by the commune's family planning office to Huang Yueqin, a barefoot doctor.

As she flipped through the pages, she came across the chapter on family planning, which included how to prevent pregnancy and abortion. Before she could even look at the contents, her heart jumped suddenly, and her face was hot. She felt that she was still a pure girl, and she shouldn't look at such embarrassing things. So, she threw the book on the table. Then, get out of bed and close the door, take off your clothes, burrow into the quilt, turn off the lights and go to sleep.

The next day, as soon as it was faintly bright, she was awakened by the chirping of birds in the trees outside the window. She turned on the light, got dressed, got out of bed, turned on the radio, played a piece of "Dongfang Hong" music, and said into the microphone, "The first broadcast of the Chaling Brigade Radio Station of Honghua Commune starts now. Then began to report the production progress of the thirteen production teams of the whole brigade yesterday's spring ploughing and spring planting.

After the script, the revolutionary songs began to be played. At this time, she opened the door of the house and the large iron door outside, and began to wash her face and comb her hair. As she brushed her hair in the mirror on the windowsill, she felt like someone was watching her. She turned around and saw Chen Jie standing in front of the door, staring straight at her. It was as if the gaze was not looking at a person, but at an artifact. When she looked back, Chen Jie looked like he had stolen someone, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked quickly to the door.

He was so shy and ashamed that it made her find it funny. In her impression, the people in the city seem to be quite cheerful, how can there be such a shy man? She combed her hair as she stood in front of the door, looking curiously at him. In the morning light, he is tall, with prominent lines, and his towering and upright back presents a unique beauty of a man, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels liked. She had seen many young offspring and had never felt like this.

It was sensitive to be watched and liked, and she had long noticed the way he looked at her. She likes to be seen in this way, because the admiring gaze of a man is the best appreciation for a woman.

She returned to the window and looked at the mirror again, taking a closer look at herself. The morning light shone softly on her face. Her appearance is dignified, her complexion is delicate, her red lips are slightly closed, her eyebrows are clear, and her whole appearance is like a lotus flower that blooms after the rain. She was not surprised: in the past, she only knew that she was beautiful, but she did not realize that she was so beautiful. She wondered if it was because of his appreciation that she had become so beautiful.

She had an urge to be close to him. So, she walked to the door, combed her hair, and said to him, "Little Chen, get up so early." ”

Chen Jie turned around and said, "You got up earlier." ”

"I'm going to start broadcasting, so naturally I have to get up early." Yuxiu said, and asked again, "Little Chen, how old are you?" Pretty tall. ”

Chen Jie said, "I'm eighteen years old. Actually, I'm not too tall, only 1.75 meters. ”

Yuxiu said, "The people in the city live well, they are rich in nutrition, and they are taller than the countrymen in my mile." ”

Chen Jie said, "It's not all because of this, mainly because most of our railway engineering office are northerners, and their stature is tall." Unlike your locals, they are all relatively low. But he immediately corrected, "Still, your Tao is quite high." ”

Yuxiu said, "Yes, our local girls and girls are not tall. I'm 1.63 meters tall, which is quite tall. ”

Chen Jie said, "Your men here are average-looking and not tall; But the girls are all fresh, clear and beautiful. The water and soil here only raise girls, not children. ”

Yuxiu smiled and said, "Our sister here is a treasure in Linjiang, otherwise, many people who work in the county town will come to our Chaling to find a sister." I don't know if you have someone you like, if not, I'll help you name one? ”

Hearing this, Chen Jie's face turned red, and he hurriedly shook his head.

At this time, Huang Dad, the production captain of the ninth team, came and wanted to take him off the team. He went back to the house and took up the burden, and came out of the house, and walked up to her, and said, "Thank you for your care, I'm leaving." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, she said, "Come and play when you have time." ”

He nodded, then carried his things, and followed Huang Dad out of the team headquarters with a shaking.
