Section II

When he returned home, his parents told him about Uncle Yu's matchmaking. At that time, my parents didn't know that Uncle Yu had hit a soft nail at Wang Zhishu. After seeing the osmanthus, he was really excited, he didn't expect that the osmanthus that he hadn't seen for two years had already come out like this.

This visit to relatives was made after some preparations. All this he prepared was naturally learned from the veterans, who were very experienced, and they knew that most of them were going to be demobilized after serving as soldiers for three years, that is, where did they come from before joining the army, and where did they go back. In this way, they take the only opportunity to visit relatives very seriously, borrowing clothes and shoes, if the soldier has a bigger face, they can borrow a set of four-pocket cadre uniforms, even if they don't have such a big face, they can also borrow a pair of cadres' three-joint leather shoes. The officers were also very considerate of these soldiers, knowing that they had only one opportunity to visit their relatives during the three years of their service. Wearing a brand new military uniform, leather shoes or something, back home, the scenery for once. Most of these soldiers will settle their family affairs during this family visit, and their military uniforms will be worn on their bodies, and their value will rise. Moreover, after two years of training in the troops, there will be different degrees of growth compared with before. After returning to the army, before demobilization, he tried to get his fiancée to come to the army, and this family affair was equivalent to ironclad.

These various practices are all tricks left by a group of veterans. When I came back this time, I also had this idea from psychology to physiology. After meeting Wang Guihua, his thoughts can be said to be even stronger and more intense. Even so, when his parents said that the third uncle was too much of a matchmaker, he still blushed and said duplicitously: My marriage is not in a hurry.

When he said this, Wang Guihua's figure was already lingering in his mind. Wang Guihua has always been his classmate, and Wang Guihua's father was already the secretary of the party branch of the brigade at that time. Therefore, Wang Guihua has had a sense of superiority since she was a child, from what she wears to what she eats, she is much better than ordinary classmates. At that time, Wang Guihua was no less than a princess in the eyes of ***, compared to ***, she was much poorer, wearing the leftover clothes worn by her brothers, and the clothes were mended again and again. He also has a habit of clearing his nose, wiping it around, and his upper lip and around his nose are red. So he sniffed his nose and wiped it with his sleeve, this kind of *** naturally would not cause Wang Guihua to look at him.

Until graduating from high school, in the impression of ***, Wang Guihua never seemed to have spoken to herself. In the two years since he left as a soldier, Wang Guihua appeared again and again in the dreams of his youth. It can only be in a dream.

Unexpectedly, two years later, wearing a military uniform, he suddenly walked into Wang Guihua's sight. They stood on the snow in the back street, said so many words, and stood so close that now *** recalling, they are still uneasy and can't help themselves. The words that Guihualin said when he broke up with him are still ringing in his ears: I am in the health center, there every day, you can come when you are free. As soon as I thought of this, my blood boiled.

Third Uncle Yu did not appear from morning to afternoon, and in the eyes of Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li, it was by no means a good sign. So, the two of them seemed to be in a state of despair, and walked to the door of the house again and again, hoping to see the figure of Uncle Yu happily walking towards their home. As a result, such a scene did not come to pass. They didn't know that at this time, Third Uncle Yu was lying on his own clay kang and was lost. Originally, he thought that if he promoted this marriage, then he would be considered a meritorious man, and Second Brother Li would be grateful to Dade for his whole life, and what happened to the New Year's Festival would drag him to the kang and pinch two pots of wine to drink. Even the secretary of the Wang branch will look at him differently. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhishu sent him back in a few words, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

When Uncle Yu was lost, grass had grown in his heart. Again and again, he looked through the window of his house, and the clinic was located in the easternmost room of the brigade headquarters, where it was before he joined the army, except that the barefoot doctor at that time was a man. After graduating from Osmanthus Hua, she was first recommended by the masses, saying that it was recommended by the masses, and it was not under the planning of Wang Zhishu that Osmanthus went to the county hospital to study for a year. A year later, the male barefoot doctor made a hooligan mistake and asked Wang Zhishu to rush back to the production team to farm. The rogue mistake made by the male doctor was to give an injection to a young woman, put his hand into the woman's crotch and touched it, just enough for people to see, and reported it to the secretary of the Wang branch. Wang Zhishu asked the woman and the male doctor, and under strong mental and political pressure, both of them confessed, and the result was very serious. Wang Zhishu was very humane, and in the spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded, he did not hand over the male doctor to the public security bureau to be brought to justice, but drove him out of the clinic and went home to farm. In this way, Wang Guihua rightfully took over the male doctor's class.

At that time, the status of barefoot doctors was very high, and "cooperative medicine" was also practiced in the countryside at that time. The vast number of peasant brothers only need to spend five cents on the registration fee every time they go to prescribe medicine or injections, and they can get injections and take medicine. When it comes to medical issues, some of them have become communist. However, when it comes to what kind of injections to take and what medicine to take, it is up to the doctor to decide. Therefore, the status of barefoot doctors is very high.

The proud Wang Guihua's status in the eyes and hearts of *** can be imagined. The time was not yet evening, and when the sky was just a little gray, *** couldn't stay at home anymore, so he walked out of the house under the pretext of going out for a walk. As soon as he walked out of the house, he plunged headlong into the health center. The reason why he waited until this time to come to the clinic was that in his previous experience, in the evening, when every household was busy cooking, ordinary people would not go to the clinic if there was no emergency. I deliberately chose such an opportunity to come to the health center.

Sure enough, Wang Guihua was the only one in the clinic, and she was reading a "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which had been turned over by Wang Guihua many times, and some of the pages had been rolled up. At this moment, *** pushed the door in, and when he entered the door, he brought a cold wind, I don't know if it was because of the cold wind or Wang Guihua was excited, in short, the moment Wang Guihua saw ***, she shook a little, and then said in surprise: Ah, you are here. The next thing is to give up the seat and pour water or something.

Sitting down, he sat on the patient's chair, Osmanthus was still sitting in place, if someone walked in at this time, they would mistakenly think that Osmanthus was treating ***. Two years is a long time, a short time, and a blank of two years has caused a sense of distance between the two, so there is beauty because of the distance. Both of them have a lot to say, mainly talking about the life of the army in the past two years, starting with the recruit company, and then talking about target shooting, training or something, everything is so new to Wang Guihua, in the description of the life of the army, it is so fascinating.

Osmanthus also took the time to say that in the past two years of study and work, she commented and discussed it from time to time. He kept in his mind a large number of words that often appeared in newspapers and the dialectics in the "Selected Works of Mao", all of which were the result of studying in the army. Osmanthus looked at *** in amazement, and sighed sincerely: Ah, Xuejun, you are making real progress! They have now changed their address to each other. He called her Osmanthus and she called him Xuejun. This change in title was carried out quietly, and neither of them noticed it, but at this time they looked like a pair of old classmates who had been friends for many years, and the scene after many years of reunion.

Before they knew it, it was dark, and only the fire was burning in the house, and in the interval between their words, Osmanthus added two chopping wood to the fire, and the dry chopping wood was crackling and burning.

When they were free, they suddenly realized that it was already dark. first stood up and said apologetically: I'm sorry to delay you from work.

Osmanthus said: It's okay, if you don't come, I'll go home late, and I'll read here if there is no patient. After speaking, he patted the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" on the table. Osmanthus said this, and when she saw *** stand up, she still stood up, packed her things and prepared to go home. When she was holding a scarf on the back of the chair, she saw the osmanthus bulging chest in the cotton clothes in the fire, which looked so strong and straight. His body moved somewhere, and his breathing was a little rapid. When the two went out, they humbled each other, but the two went out together, their bodies squeezed together, and they once again felt the strangeness that happened in their bodies.

The two of them laughed unnaturally and walked out, because the temperature inside the house was very hot and it was cold outside, and they both shivered. Osmanthus rubbed her hands and said: You can stay for a few days on vacation this time.

He said, "I have been back for two days, and thirteen days to go."

Osmanthus said again: Then you can come to me to play in the future, anyway, I have nothing to do.

Smile and say: Okay, as long as you don't get annoyed. I'll come every day.

Osmanthus laughed and said: Come every day, isn't it thirteen days?

After saying this, for some reason they both had a sense of melancholy, so they both fell silent until they broke up on the village road.

watched the osmanthus disappear into his field of vision, and then he hummed the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" and walked home.

Second sister-in-law Li had already made dinner, and she had been waiting for *** to come back for dinner with Second Brother Li for a long time. It seems that both of them are in a little unhappy, just when the second sister-in-law Li was cooking, the second brother Li went to find the third uncle Yu once, and the third uncle Yu learned the words of the Wang branch secretary again.

During the meal, *** drank two glasses of wine with his father.

Second Brother Li took a sip of wine and said: Boy, you must join the party.

He took another sip of wine and said, "If it is possible, you will be promoted to become an officer, and leave this old village, and let them see."

The father drank too much as he drank, and then snot and tears recounted the hardships and hardships of the peasants.

Why don't you want to join the party in the army, so many people compete, *** is only in the middle of many competitors, not to mention the promotion, it is difficult to join the party. At that time, *** had already thought about it, come back to be a farmer, start with the production captain, if God has eyes, maybe he will be a militia company commander or something, after all, he is a demobilized soldier.

When my father cried like this, his heart suddenly became heavy. But lying on the kang, after the lights were turned off, he seemed to see the light in the darkness again, if he and Osmanthus had anything, Wang Zhishu could not help him, and he could not join the party in the army and could come back, if Wang Zhishu was willing to help him, there would be no problem in being the militia company commander of a brigade. The militia company commander is also a semi-full-time cadre, and when the time comes, he will live a small life with osmanthus, and he will be regarded as a master. When I think about it like this, *** seems to see a bright future for myself.
