Section I

In that snowy winter, Wang Guihua's love came.

The young man of this village came back to the village to visit his relatives in the snowy winter after serving as a soldier for two years. It's not the *** of two years ago, the *** of two years ago, she looks black and thin, and the corners of her mouth even drag the snot that can't be wiped clean. Now ***, he looks like a mighty PLA soldier, wearing a grass-green military uniform, wearing a red star on his head, and the revolutionary red flag hanging on both sides, he has grown taller and fatter. When he saw someone, he greeted him, and then took out a paper cigarette and saluted the elders, he was smiling, and behind the smile, he was well-informed. The style and tone of speech are no longer the appearance of the people in this village, he holds the fingers of the paper cigarette, often waving in the air very chic, his verbal language, always like to say: is it not.

At this time, *** stood on the village street, surrounded by many villagers in the slack season, as well as some children, three or two dogs also shuttled between people's legs from time to time. The winter sun shines well, and the sun's rays reflected by the snow pierce people who can't open their eyes, and the villagers and dogs squint to listen to ***.

said: There are more than 100 people in a company, and each of them has a gun in his hand, the People's Liberation Army, how can you do without a gun, isn't it?

And they nodded.

Uncle Yu in the crowd put his hands on his sleeve and said: It's good to be a soldier.

He also said: Our regiment commander is a native of Shandong, tall and big, often carrying two guns on his back, and he made great contributions in the self-defense battle of Zhenbao Island. The division commander specially approved him to carry two guns. Isn't it?

Uncle Yu asked again: Is your head of the regiment eating at the same table with you?

Third Uncle Yu asked this, which caused everyone to laugh.

A little hesitant, it seemed that it was not easy to answer the third uncle's question, took a puff of paper cigarette, and waved his hand holding the cigarette in the air and said: That's nature, our leader's favorite food is green onions dipped in sauce.

This time, people looked at *** with a solemn face, can they eat at the same table with the regiment commander with two guns on his back, is this an ordinary character, isn't it.

Just when *** was gushing to people about the length of the army and the shortness of the army, Wang Guihua appeared in the sight of ***. A pair of eyes were a little obsessed, and Wang Guihua at this time was dressed as a barefoot doctor. A black coarse polyester pants, the pants are put on the outside of the cotton pants, which looks very compact, the arms are arms, and the legs are legs. A floral cotton jacket was worn very properly, a red scarf was loosely wrapped around the neck, and a thick and black braid was around the waist, jumping lively. On his shoulder is a diagonal medical kit with a red cross on it. She seemed to be going to the doctor, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry when she stepped on the snow. When I saw Wang Guihua at a glance, Wang Guihua naturally saw the *** in the crowd, and the appearance of Wang Guihua made the crowd quiet for a while. Wang Guihua gradually approached, Wang Guihua was a little surprised, and also looked at *** with some freshness.

After all, he was a soldier for two years, and then he said very well-informed: Isn't this Wang Guihua, what? Is it to treat people?

Wang Guihua also said: Mom, isn't this an old classmate***, I haven't seen you for two years, and my life has become like this. Coming back to visit family?

A man and a woman reunite at such a time, they both feel the changes that have taken place in each other in the past two years, and they seem to have a stomach full of things to ask each other, but they don't know where to start. So, you asked word by word. Wang Guihua asked: Xuejun, two years ago, how is the army?

Question: Wang Guihua, you are a barefoot doctor, I really can't see it.

……

Neither of them had time to answer each other, and during the questioning, they revealed information to each other. Leaving a group of villagers and dogs aside. Third Uncle Yu in the crowd, his brain lit up at this time, among the villagers, Third Uncle Yu is a smart person, and smart people can always react faster than others in most cases.

Third Uncle Yu left in a hurry, and those stupid people saw that Wang Guihua and *** were talking hotly, and they couldn't interject, and they looked very boring, and they gradually dispersed. In the snow, only *** and Wang Guihua were left there, asking and answering loudly, and the heat in their mouths was entangled from time to time, steaming around their chests.

Third Uncle Yu walked in a hurry, and then he calmed down again, he was not sure for a while, whether to find the second brother of ***'s father first, or to find Wang Guihua's father Wang Zhishu. Third Uncle Yu couldn't make up his mind for a while, and his steps were a little hesitant. He wants to find Wang Zhishu first, if Wang Zhishu agrees with the family matter of Osmanthus and Xuejun, if he turns his head and thinks that Second Brother Li does not agree, how can he see Wang Zhishu in the future, Wang Zhishu is a character in this production team, and he can't be offended. After thinking about it like this, Uncle Yu's footsteps unswervingly walked towards the *** family.

The father, known as the second brother of Li in the village, has been very excited in the past few days, and his son has returned to his hometown with honor, and the villagers have come to his house, coming and going, as if they are rushing to the market. Before the third uncle came, just after leaving, Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li were sweeping the skin of melon seeds and the peeled sugar ball paper on the ground on the kang. At this time, Third Uncle Yu came in with a spring breeze on his face.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: Second Brother Li, this kid from Xuejun is a good student, and he can't make a mistake in the army in the future.

Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li smiled happily together, and there was no actual content in their mouths.

After Uncle Yu entered the house, he no longer regarded himself as an outsider, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the kang, and looked like he was fighting a protracted battle. Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li also want to open, anyway, it's winter leisure now, and the son is back, so there is such a rare liveliness, and the villagers are here, so let's chatter. So the two of them also deceived their legs on the kang, and the second sister-in-law Li grabbed a handful of freshly fried melon seeds and stood in front of the third uncle.

Third Uncle Yu Zhengse said: I came today to say that I was here to get down to business.

Second Brother Li said: His third uncle, what's the matter?

Third Uncle Yu sighed a few times and said: This time Xuejun came back, didn't you think about giving him a marriage?

Second Brother Li smiled humbly.

Li's second sister-in-law said: Someone mentioned it, and we don't think it's appropriate.

Uncle Yu said: How about I give you one?

Who? Li's second sister-in-law said.

Uncle Yu said: The daughter of the Wang branch secretary, osmanthus, what do you think?

Second Brother Li said: Good is good, can people be willing?

Li's second sister-in-law said: We have also pondered about this, our father is the branch secretary, and Osmanthus is the barefoot doctor of our brigade, can she take a fancy to our family's Xuejun?

Third Uncle Yu smiled, laughed very well, and got off the kang again: As long as you agree, I will go to the branch scrivener to talk about it, if he agrees, we are two good plus one good; If I don't agree, I'll say nothing.

Second Brother Li and Second Sister-in-law Li sent Third Uncle Yu out of the house with great gratitude.

The third uncle Yu was in a hurry, and 100,000 hurriedly went straight to the house of the secretary of the Wang branch. Wang Zhishu was lying on the kang reading a newly published "People's Daily", he had finished reading an "editorial", and was looking at other good situations at home and abroad, at this moment, Yu Sanshu came in a hurry. When Third Uncle Yu came in, Wang Zhishu's body didn't move, but he tilted his head, his eyes temporarily left the newspaper, and then said: Come on, sit down.

Uncle Yu had a smile on his face that was not embarrassed, sat on the edge of the kang very carefully, and said very carefully: Branch secretary, are you busy?

Wang Zhishu only said "hmm".

Third Uncle Yu smacked his mouth and said: Second Brother Li's student army has returned from the army.

Wang Zhishu put down the newspaper, yawned and said: Yes.

Third Uncle Yu said again: Xuejun came back this time, and the people of their family were going to give him a family affair.

Wang Zhishu said: Zhang Luobei.

Uncle Yu said again: Xuejun, this kid is out of the woods, and being a soldier is different.

Wang Zhishu patted the newspaper and said: The PLA army is a big school, this is what Chairman Mao said.

Third Uncle Yu continued: Just now I saw Osmanthus and Xuejun talking in the back street.

Just say it, they are classmates. Wang Zhishu yawned again.

Third Uncle Yu looked a little shy, his face was still a little red, and he said very unsmoothly: I look at osmanthus ...... It's quite suitable for Xuejun.

Wang Zhishu just wanted to yawn, but after listening to Uncle Yu's words, he immediately closed his half-open mouth. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "No, no, I don't think this is going to work."

Uncle Yu's face turned blue all of a sudden, but he didn't want to give up his efforts, so he still said: I heard that Xuejun is about to join the party in the army?

Wang Zhishu said: What's wrong with joining the party, can you join the party in the army, you can also join the party in our commune, and after joining the party, he won't farm when he comes back from demobilization? Unless that kid can do it, he will never come back.

Third Uncle Yu didn't know what to say, and he looked a little disgraced.

Wang Zhishu said: Our osmanthus flowers, the worst one has to find someone to eat at the public meal. The kid who studied the army, who was a soldier for another two years, came back, and didn't have to repair the earth.

Third Uncle Yu didn't know what to say, and came out of Wang Zhishu's house very tastelessly.

On the back street, *** and Wang Guihua were talking lively, Wang Guihua forgot to go to the doctor, suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: Ah, Aunt Wang has a fever, and she is still waiting for me to give her an injection, let's talk another day. I'm in the clinic, every day, so you can come when you have time.

He stamped his foot and said, "Uh-huh."

He watched the osmanthus twist her beautiful waist, and saw the thick braid of the osmanthus disappear in front of him. Only then did he feel that his feet were frozen and ached like cats and dogs. He wore a pair of single leather shoes, which were the kind issued by the troops to cadres and borrowed from the platoon commander when he left the unit. In the winter, single leather shoes are worn on the feet, which look good, but they are frozen feet.

While stomping his feet, he walked excitedly towards home.
