Cui Mingguo, Qin Caihou, and Ma Fei learned from Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and also burned incense and kowtowed to their brothers, vowing "not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year". Now, Cui Mingguo was burned to death by the fire, and it was impossible for Qin Caihou and Ma Fei to die on the same day, month and year as him, so this oath naturally became invalid, and they continued to go to school every day with their schoolbags on their backs. After half a year, they graduated from middle school, and without exception, they all went to the countryside and came to Yushutun with Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin.

Qin Ying's grandfather married two wives in the old society, the eldest wife gave birth to her father, and the second wife was a mandarin duck widow when she married her grandfather, that is to say, the second wife remarried her grandfather with a little boy named Pan Yiyang. Naturally, this little boy also changed his surname to Qin and called Qin Yiyang. The stars have changed, and decades have passed with a flick of his fingers, and Qin Yiyang has also become a member of his grandfather's generation, and Qin Caihou is a grandson of Qin Yiyang.

To sum up, it can be seen that although Qin Ying and Qin Caihou are not related by blood and are the same age, in terms of generation, they are cousins and nephews.

Although Qin Caihou's family does not live in the same alley as Qin Ying, it is not far away, just across the road from the alley, so they have been playing and joking together every day since they were children, doing everything, and they are very intimate.

Qin Caihou's father was a doctor, and there were many medical books in the family. When he reached the age of literacy and hyphenation, Qin Caihou began to read these books, and slowly gained an understanding of the physiological structure of the human body, and he often explained what he had learned to Qin Ying. Qin Ying also likes to listen to it very much, especially about sexual knowledge, Qin Ying likes to hear it and never gets tired of listening to it. So, the two of them went from hazy and vague to trying to figure it out for the first time, from ignorance and tastelessness to gradually getting interesting, and played it as a game, the more they played, the more addicted they became, from elementary school to middle school, from middle school to the countryside, as soon as they got it, the two of them had to play, until the commune was ready to train Qin Caihou to be a barefoot doctor and sent him to study at the Taocheng Health School, so he had to say goodbye to Qin Ying and return to the city for further study.

After just a month of studying at the health school, he got the good news that the central government was going to resume the college entrance examination. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rode his bicycle to Yushutun to find Qin Ying, and it just so happened that Qin Ying, Ma Fei, and Wang Xuemin were all in Zhiqingdian. So he told them the good news of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Qin Ying was overjoyed when she saw Qin Caihou, thinking that he had been in a panic for a month, and asked her to vent, but she didn't expect to tell her the news that the central government was going to resume the college entrance examination. However, this also surprised her, and she didn't want to delay for a moment, so she immediately packed up and went back to Taocheng with Qin Caihou to review her homework and prepare for the college entrance examination.

Ma Fei was not very enthusiastic, he said that now the young intellectuals were about to return to the city, and in order to reduce the pressure on the city, the central government planned to recruit as many young intellectuals as possible to go to the mountains and countryside in the next two years. He Ma Fei has a deep complex with the green uniform, and he dreams of being a soldier, so he does not plan to go to university, but strives to become a soldier.

Wang Xuemin was also hesitant, she felt that her foundation was too poor, and she had to carefully review for one or two years before she could take the exam. Now it's only a month, and I can't pass the exam anyway.

"It doesn't matter if it can be admitted or not, take an exam." Qin Ying instigated: "If you don't take the test, how can you know that you can't pass the test?" ”

"That's it!" Qin Caihou also encouraged on the side: "You will treat this as a drill, then review it for half a year, and then take the real test next year." ”

Wang Xuemin was finally moved by what they said, and packed up and went back to Taocheng to review her homework and prepare for the college entrance examination.

They came to the brigade and explained the situation to the branch secretary, asking for leave to go back to the city to review their homework and prepare for the college entrance examination.

Qin Caihou put the bicycle on the carriage and sat in the carriage with Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin. Ma Fei drove the car and ran towards Taocheng.

On the way, Qin Ying asked Qin Caihou: "Alas, Qin Caihou, you are so good at Russian, you can not only speak, but also sing, you must take the foreign language major, right?" ”

"I'm not going to take the college entrance exam." Qin Caihou shook his head and said, "I only like to be a doctor......

Wang Xuemin said: "Then you will be admitted to a medical school." ”

Qin Caihou shook his head again and said, "I just want to be a barefoot doctor and treat the poor middle peasants." ”

As he spoke, the carriage ran to the big sand pit, and you could see Taocheng Railway Station in the distance. But the road ahead was blocked by a ditch. This is a safety ditch dug by the herdsmen in the autumn to prevent the fire from spreading everywhere and becoming uncontrollable. A wooden plank was put on the ditch, and only one person could walk across the ditch. It was impossible for the carriage to cross the ditch. There was no way, Qin Caihou, Qin Ying, and Wang Xuemin had no choice but to get out of the car with their things, and Ma Fei turned around and drove the carriage back to Yushutun.

Qin Caihou carried the bicycle, and Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin each carried their own luggage and crossed the ditch from the wooden plank. Then Qin Caihou put down the bicycle and asked Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin to put their luggage on the back seat of the bicycle, he pushed, Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin followed, and they continued to walk towards the city. Just after bypassing the big sand pit, the sky was not beautiful, and it began to rain, and it was heavy rain, mixed with a strong storm. At first, the sky suddenly turned black rapidly, and a few dull thunders were heard in the distance. The three of them looked up at the sky at the same time, and the flowing clouds, which were still glowing white under the clear sky, seemed to be stagnant, and were still full of stagnant water.

Soon, the air also felt damp and began to flow. After the first gust of wind with rain had passed, in just a few minutes, the wind and rain had turned from small droplets to torrential rain. The sky seemed to have torn open a seal, and from the dark skyline in the distance, the rain poured down, chasing all the way. In a moment, it became a dark ocean.

The rain was mixed with a strong wind, and it was cold in the face, and it smashed the three of them. The raindrops felt as big as soybeans, as if they were going to break people apart. It used to be a refreshing autumn weather, but now the cold seeps into the skin and continues to pour into the hearts of the three people.

As far as the eye could see, there was no place to hide, so they had to brave the wind and rain to run to the train station. The road was very muddy, and the bodies of the three people were already soaked, and Qin Caihou staggered and struggled to push the bicycle.

Finally, they finally ran to the train station.

Qin Caihou pointed to an abandoned guard car next to him, turned around and said to Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin, "Let's go to the guard car to take shelter from the rain, right?" ”

"Then let's go!" Qin Ying and Wang Xuemin gasped, and the rain ran down their cheeks.

They came to the guard and stumbled into the car with their luggage.

There was an iron stove in the middle of the caboose, and two rows of benches on either side; There was a wire pulled under the stove, and a few tattered trousers hung from it; The ground was covered with a layer of ula grass with a shabby dogskin mattress on it; There was also some firewood and coal cores piled up next to the iron stove.

Qin Ying looked around and said to herself, "Looking at this scene, it seems that someone lives here...... I guess there must be beggars begging for food. ”

"It doesn't matter if it can't live with people, we'll occupy the magpie's nest now." Wang Xuemin put her wet luggage on the bench, and sat down on the bench herself, trying to take off her muddy shoes.

"Qin Caihou, hurry up and start the stove! It was too cold, so we grilled the fire. Qin Ying's whole body was drenched, she was so cold that her body kept shaking, her teeth chattered, and she didn't have any reason in her head, she was just talking intuitively.

Qin Caihou closed the door, dragged his muddy footsteps, came to the iron stove, and found a box of matches beside him. He lit a few pieces of paper, stuffed them into the furnace, added a few pieces of firewood, and soon a raging flame rose. He added a few large pieces of firewood, and as the fire grew, he took off his soaked jacket and put it on the wire to let the stove dry. The red light of the fire shone on his strong skin, and his body immediately warmed up, and the chill in the room gradually dissipated.

Qin Ying also took off his coat and put it on the wire to dry. She opened her luggage, and as expected, all the clothes inside were soaked with water. She glanced at Wang Xuemin, sighed, and gathered around the stove in her wet underwear.

Wang Xuemin was also like her, only took off one coat and squatted next to Qin Caihou to bake the stove.

Slowly, a curling mist rose in the car, and the bodies of the three gradually warmed up, and their mood began to relax. As all the bodies warmed up, a certain emotion that had been frozen for a while seemed to suddenly burst out, and around the fiery iron furnace, the heat in their bodies climbed to their faces, and the three faces unconsciously turned red. With the release and drive of emotions, their mood and spirit that were temporarily dispersed by the wind and rain began to return to yang, and they couldn't help but melt together.

From time to time, there were bursts of deafening thunderstorms outside the car, which seemed to be waving flags and cheering for them.
