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

Chen Jie has been away from the Chaling Brigade for more than a year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuxiu wrote three or four letters to him, but he never replied. This made Yuxiu very puzzled and very annoyed. Anyway, he should have written her back! But why didn't he reply? After a long and repeated consideration, she decided that she should find out the reason thoroughly. In this way, she can completely give up.

She took out the record that Chen Jie had given her from the box. This record was not borrowed by Chen Jie's brother from the Cultural Center, but Chen Jie specially bought it for her. Since Chen Jie left, she has hardly listened to the record again, and now, she has left the radio room, and she can't listen to it even if she wants to, so she decided to return the record to Chen Jie's brother, so that Chen Jie knows her attitude towards him. Of course, her real purpose is to take the opportunity of returning the record to ask Chen Jie's brother about Chen Jie's situation.

Qinghe Commune is the closest township to Honghua, with a total of 30 miles of road, but you can take a shuttle bus from Chaling to the foot of Honghua Mountain. So, she packed herself up and put the record in a flower bag.

At this time, her mother entered her room and said to her in a begging tone, "The Gao family's mediators have been here for many times, and if you don't reply, your father will be irritable." ”

Yuxiu said angrily, "Why is he irritable?" You don't have to worry about my business. ”

Her mother sat on the edge of her bed and persuaded her, "Gao Baolin works in the Electric Power Bureau. If you follow him, don't be a farmer anymore, and let us save our worries. ”

Yuxiu was upset and said, "Okay, I'll talk about this in a few days." With that, he didn't eat breakfast and went out.

That Gao Baolin was a classmate of her in the past, and when she was in school, she didn't like him, but now that he has gone to the city as a worker, he has cocked his tail in the sky, pestering her in vain, and constantly sending matchmakers to kiss, which can simply annoy people to death. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that her father would be angry, because her father wanted to climb to the Gao family.

When she walked to the front of the Ninth Team Village, Yuxiu saw Chunmei wearing a new body and new shoes, so she smiled and asked, "Why are you dressed like a thief?" Chunmei forced a smile and said, "Sister Xiu, I'm getting married, and you will come to the wedding then." ”

Yuxiu said, "Of course, it's with Chunhua, right?" ”

Chunmei shook her head and said, "It's Meng Liang from the first team of agricultural science." ”

Yuxiu frowned and said, "How can you talk to him, why not Chunhua?" Because she knows that although Chunmei is a beautiful girl, she only has a primary school education, so she has always admired Chunhua who graduated from high school.

Chunmei was a little sad and said, "He became a teacher, his eyes are high, and he can't look down on me anymore." ”

Yuxiu said, "He's just a private teacher, what's the tail?" ”

Chunmei rubbed her eyes and said, "I heard that he is engaged to Luo Ping's flower girl, and they are in the same school." Then, she asked Yuxiu again, "Does Chen Jie have any news?" ”

Yuxiu shook her head slightly, then turned her eyes into the distance.

Chunmei said, "If a man has the ability, he has no virtue, so don't count on them." A cultured and good-looking girl like you should find a good place for yourself as soon as possible, and don't hang yourself on a tree. ”

Yuxiu nodded, sighed and said, "Our woman's life is really bitter. ”

Chunmei said, "The more beautiful the flower, the more likely it is to wither, which is called a red face and a thin life." ”

After breaking up with Chunmei, Yuxiu felt another sadness in her heart: how did the carefree sisters who used to talk and laugh become like this when they reached the age of getting married?

It is necessary to walk ten miles on the road from Chaling to the foot of Honghua Mountain, and then take a car for twenty miles to reach Qinghe Grain Store. Fortunately, she met a walk-behind tractor going to the county seat at the Luojiang Bridge, and took the walk-behind tractor all the way to the door of the Qinghe grain store.

Brother Chen Jie is already the director of the grain store. He received her in his office. As soon as I saw her, I said, "Why have you lost so much weight, and you don't have to be bright anymore?" ”

Yuxiu wanted to say it, it wasn't because of Chen Jie, but she couldn't say it, so she smiled sadly and said, "I was sitting on a walk-behind tractor just now, and I was so busy on the road that I didn't feel quite comfortable." As he spoke, he took out the record from his school bag, put it on the table, and said, "This is Chen Jie's record, which has been kept with me in the past, and now it is returned to him." ”

Brother Chen Jie said, "You like to listen to songs, and I still have some records, you can take them and listen to them." ”

Yuxiu waved her hand and said, "I'm no longer at the brigade radio station, and I don't listen to songs very much." ”

Brother Chen Jie asked, "Then what are you doing now?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I'm back in the production team." ”

Brother Chen Jie was stunned and said, "Why did you go back to the production team?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I worked in the county cultural center for a month, and when I came back from the cultural center, the secretary of the brigade was changed, so the broadcaster was also changed." As she spoke, she asked, "How is Chen Jie now?" ”

Chen Jie's brother said, "He didn't have to communicate with you? ”

Yuxiu shook her head sadly.

Brother Chen Jie scolded, "This ungrateful guy! And he said, "I told him to write to you." ”

Yuxiu said, "Maybe he's busy studying." ”

Chen Jie's brother said, "He was so busy with his studies and worked so hard that he didn't go home during the whole summer vacation." During the Chinese New Year, I only stayed at home for three or five days and then went back to school. However, no matter how busy you are, there is still time to write a letter. Otherwise, I'll write to him and ask him. ”

Yuxiu said, "No need. I'm fine, too, just passing by here. So saying, he was about to leave.

Chen Jie's brother wanted to keep her for dinner, but she insisted on leaving. Brother Chen Jie asked her to wait, probably to give her something, so as soon as Brother Chen Jie came out of the office, she ran away in a panic as if she had escaped from prison.

She walked out of the Qinghe grain store and walked to the shuttle bus station. After waiting at the station for half an hour, I got on the train and rode back to the foot of Honghua Mountain. After getting out of the car, she took a shortcut and walked home.

May is the most beautiful time of the year, and when you look up, the entire mountain range and the flat river are green. Although the temperature is a little hot, the cool breeze is blowing all the time, which makes people feel quite comfortable. Walking on the path leading to Chaling, Yuxiu was still a little disappointed and frustrated, and she mustered a lot of strength and ran all day, as if she had gained nothing. What made her most sad and distressing was what Brother Chen Jie said when he saw her: "Why have you lost a lot of weight, and you don't have to be bright anymore?" At that time, she wanted to say: It's not for Chen Jie to be harmed.

Originally, her life was peaceful and peaceful, but since Chen Jie entered her life, her life has been disrupted. Chen Jie is like a god sent to seduce her, deceive her, and then abandon her enemy, making her suffer so much disaster and pain, but making her want to hate but can't hate. She couldn't help but shout bitterly in her heart to the sky: Chen Jie, Chen Jie, why are you torturing me like this? Am I sorry for you? Didn't I give you all my love?

When she reached the fork in the Luojiang embankment, she was sitting under a large tree. Under this tree, she and Chen Jie played the harmonica more than once, singing the song "Yingshan Red". Chen Jie once told her that "Yingshan Hong" expresses the deep longing for relatives and a beautiful vision for the future, if I encounter this situation, I will sing this song like Dongzi's mother. At that time, Yuxiu believed this sentence to be true, but now, it made her feel ridiculous. She wanted to say: Chen Jie, Chen Jie, I am singing "Yingshan Hong" 10,000 times now, will you come back?

She sat down under the tree, scraped the earth from the ground together with her hands, gathered up a small bag of earth, like a small grave mound, and then wrote on the ground with a branch: The Tomb of Love. She felt that her love was dead and that there was no hope anymore.

After sitting under the tree for a while, she mourned for a long time for her dead love before dragging her tired legs towards home. By the time she got home, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Before she could enter the hall, she heard her father losing his temper with her mother, and shouted, "She is a little girl, and she doesn't understand anything, and you still listen to her." ”

The mother said pitifully, "Sister Xiu is not ignorant, she has a lot of things in her heart." You don't have to talk about her all the time, she is actually so uncomfortable in her heart. ”

The father said, "She is self-inflicted, and she can't blame others." Don't talk about anything else, now the excellent conditions of the Gao family begged her again and again, and she still regarded herself as so noble that she didn't answer. If she misses this family business again, she is afraid that she will suffer for the rest of her life. ”

At this time, Yuxiu had already entered the house, and when she saw her parents arguing at the small table with a long face for her, she said to her father, "You go and talk back to the Gao family, just say I am willing." ”
