The River of Years Episode 2
The River of Years Episode 2 Xu Xiaoou
For 5 days in a row, Gao Hongguang didn't go to Xiao Shuqin's house, Xiao Shuqin was even more sad in her heart, she thought, Gao Hongguang may have left her from now on, she is really stupid, if she doesn't tell him the truth, at least she can still maintain this relationship in front of her. Alas......
At this moment, Gao Hongguang walked in from outside the door with a smile and hugged her tightly.
"Hongguang, you? You don't mind this kid? Xiao Shuqin asked suspiciously.
"What do you mind about, your child is my child, Shuqin, let's get married!" Gao Hongguang said.
"Hongguang, thank you! Thank you for your generosity and tolerance! Xiao Shuqin choked and threw herself into Gao Hongguang's arms.
The next day, they went to the village to get a marriage certificate, and on August 16, they were going to get married.
Three days later, on a dark and windy night, a thunderclap woke Gao Hongguang from his dream. Immediately afterwards, thunder and lightning and heavy rain poured down, Gao Hongguang thought that Xiao Shuqin would be afraid, so he got dressed and wanted to go to her house to have a look. At this moment, he suddenly heard a rapid shout from next door: "Helpβhelpβ"
"Oh, no, something must have happened!" Gao Hongguang ran out of the door like an arrow, and came to the door of Xiao Shuqin's house, and when he saw that the door was closed, he turned over and climbed onto the courtyard wall, jumped into the courtyard, and broke into the inner room in two steps. I saw a black shadow pounce on Xiao Shuqin, who wanted to do nothing, Xiao Shuqin was struggling desperately. Seeing the scene in front of him, Gao Hongguang couldn't help but be furious. He grabbed the guy by the placket, dragged him off the bed, and punched him all over his face. "Ouch-ouch-wow-" The guy let out a scream of pain. Gao Hongguang then heard that this guy was Li Ermao, a second-rate son in the village. He was even more angry, and kicked Li Ermao's lower gear hard. "Ahh Who would have thought that it was this kick that kicked Li Ermao to death, and Gao Hongguang was sentenced to two years in prison and sent to the Xinjiang Four Trees Labor Reform Brigade to serve his sentence.
Two months later, Xiao Shuqin received a letter from Gao Hongguang from Xinjiang: "The letter reads:
Shuqin: Hello!
On the third day after my sentence, I was put on a train, which was a wagon, and many people were crammed into it, like a cart of livestock. In Wuwei, Gansu Province, it took another three days and three nights to take a car to Xinjiang, our unit is the 3rd detachment of the Four Trees Labor Reform Brigade, living in tents, every day all we see are endless sand dunes, the wind blows and the sky is dark, there are no birds chirping here, there is no water and no grass, and occasionally you can see a piece of red willow and shuttle firewood. I went out to dig channels every day, and at the end of the day, I was tired and half dead, and people from the city said that when I got here, it was like entering a coffin, which was really bitter! But as long as I think of you, my heart still feels very sweet. Shuqin, don't worry about me, two years will pass soon, we will live happily together, I hope you will visit my mother often. I didn't write my letter well, I only went to private school for a year, don't laugh at me.
Gao Hongguang
October 5th
After reading Gao Hongguang's letter, Xiao Shuqin's heart was sour, she remembered Gao Hongguang's meticulous care for her over the years, and she felt very guilty. Immediately picked up the pen and wrote a letter, which read: Brother Hongguang:
I have received your letter, and it makes me feel very painful to see you suffering in Xinjiang. All this is caused by me, I think about it, I must go to Xinjiang to find you, I will always be by your side, never separated! Hurry up and write me the route to Xinjiang.
Eagerly
Shuqin, October 16
10 days later, she received a second letter from Gao Hongguang, in which he said: Shuqin: I am very happy to see your letter, and it is worth it to have a good wife like you waiting for me at home. But don't come to Xinjiang to look for me. Because I'm a prisoner, I don't have freedom, and I can't take care of you. There is no village around here, where do you live, you are still pregnant, how do you live here! So, don't come, wait for me at home, be obedient, don't be impulsive, you have to give birth, and my mother will take care of you. When I come back, the child will definitely call Daddy. Oh, that's great!
Hongguang, October 28
After reading Gao Hongguang's letter, Xiao Shuqin thought carefully all night, and understood that she couldn't go rashly, so she had to stay at home and wait for Gao Hongguang to return.
Lu Jianping and Xiao Shuqin joined the party two months after breaking up, and after a burst of joy and excitement, he came to the playground alone, looking at the round of silver and gentle full moon, thinking of the days when he and Xiao Shuqin fell in love deeply, her beautiful smile and sweet voice still appeared frequently in his mind. He understands that he is still in love with Xiao Shuqin, he doesn't know whether the choice he made is right or wrong, and he hates fate even more for why he made such a cruel choice. He missed Xiao Shuqin very much, he really wanted to write to her to tell her that he still loved her deeply, and that writing that letter to her was actually a last resort, but he didn't have the courage to put pen to paper. On this day, he received a letter from his second brother Lu Jianhui, which read: Hello Jianping!
You have finally made the right decision, I am happy for you, and I believe that you will have a future in the army. I also want to tell you that Xiao Shuqin and Gao Hongguang got along within two days of receiving your letter, and they also got a marriage certificate a month later. I suspect that she probably hooked up with Gao Hongguang a long time ago, and just kept you in the dark, but fortunately you made a wise choice in the end. Maybe it's providence, one night in the next three days, Li Ermao from the village quietly sneaked into Xiao Shuqin's house and wanted to bully her, but Gao Hongguang rushed to beat him up, and kicked him down. For this reason, Gao Hongguang was sentenced to two years of labor reform, this is retribution. However, these things are a thing of the past, so don't think about it. Your sister-in-law has a cousin named Zhang Juhua, she is only 18 years old this year, she is very beautiful, and you have seen her. Your sister-in-law told her about you, and she was very willing, and said it was up to you. Your sister-in-law and I both think you should be in a relationship with her as soon as possible. We hope you will write back soon.
Second brother Jianhui
September 8th
After reading the letter written by the second brother, Lu Jianping was shocked: Xiao Shuqin and Gao Hongguang got along so quickly, and they also got a marriage certificate, this is too fast, right? Could it be that they really hooked up a long time ago as the second brother said? That's too despicable! I really know people, I don't know my heart. Are they really like that, no, no, no, Gao Hongguang is a person, he knows very well, he will not do such a thing. And Xiao Shuqin's love for him is also very real, it is impossible to betray him so easily. But their union was too fast, and they also got a marriage certificate, which really can't help but make people think. This night, Lu Jianping tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and the next night, he wrote a letter to Lu Jianhui, which read:
Hello second brother!
I received the letter, and after reading your letter, I was so annoyed that I didn't sleep well all night! Still, I'm glad I made a wise choice. Now that the matter has passed, I have nothing to do with what happens to them, I just want to do a good job in the army now, and strive to join the party as soon as possible. You mentioned my sister-in-law's sister Zhang Juhua, I have seen her, she is a good woman, but I don't have the heart to think about it now, second brother, sister-in-law, this matter will be handled by you.
I wish my brother and sister-in-law good health!
Di Jianping, September 18
After receiving Lu Jianping's letter, Lu Jianhui and Wang Yulian were both very happy. Wang Yulian hurriedly went to her cousin Zhang Juhua's house and told her the news, and she was very happy to hear it. She went to private school for two years and would write letters, but the man didn't write a letter for this kind of thing, and she didn't speak first, so she just silently hoped that Lu Jianping would come back and marry her as soon as possible.
Time flies by and it's October. It was Sunday, Lu Jianping and Wang Kai went shopping together, and when they came back, they passed by the entrance of a shopping mall, and suddenly saw a thin man running out of it in a panic, and a young woman behind him shouted: "Catch him!" Get him! He's a thief! He stole my money! Seeing this scene, Lu Jianping rushed forward to chase the thief closely, and Wang Kai also followed closely behind him. chased five hundred meters away, Lu Jianping grabbed the thief's shirt. Unexpectedly, the thief took out a knife from his trouser pocket and stabbed Lu Jianping in the right hand. Lu Jianping still refused to let go, stretched out his left hand and held his right hand tightly. At this time, Wang Kai arrived, and the two of them pressed the thief together. The girl and some of the crowd also rushed up, and the people grabbed the thief and went to the police station. Wang Kai hurriedly sent Lu Jianping to the hospital. Knowing that he was injured in order to catch the thief, the company leaders and comrades came to see him, and the local ** also sent him a pennant. What made him happiest was that the woman who had lost his money also came to see him and helped him do his laundry. On this day, when Wang Kai came to see him, he said to him mysteriously: "Hey, do you know who that woman is?"
"Woman, which woman?" Lu Jianping asked suspiciously.
"Hey, the one who did your laundry, which one else could there be." Wang Kai said.
"She, she's her, who else can she be." Lu Jianping disagreed.
"Hehe, let me tell you, she is the company commander's sister-in-law." Wang Kai said with a smile.
"Ah, what a coincidence!" Lu Jianping was very surprised.
"Yes, yesterday she went to our dormitory with the company commander's daughter-in-law to help us wash our clothes, I think she is very similar to the company commander's daughter-in-law, and I asked my sister-in-law to know that it was her sister."
"Well, she's a good person." Lu Jianping smiled.
"Hey, you're stupid, I can see that people like you a little, and you're still pretending to me, so you can continue to pretend."
"Pretend, I didn't have it, isn't it because I helped her recover her wallet, people thanked me and came to help me wash a few clothes, nothing else, I don't dare to think about it."
"Yes, but I don't think she looks at you right, she must like you, I can tell you, if you want to climb this relative, you don't have to worry about anything, hurry up, there will be no such shop in this village."
"Hehe, this is not a project, but also to hurry, this kind of thing has to be wishful thinking, let it be, it is not in a hurry." Lu Jianping smiled.
After that, Lu Jianping was very concerned about the girl, and during the conversation, he learned that her name was Li Chuntao, who was just 20 years old this year, and her home was in Qu County, Sichuan. This year's harvest was not good, and she came to the city to find some work, but it was not easy to find work in the city. That day, she wanted to go to the mall to buy a pair of shoes for her niece, but the thief stole her wallet, which was the money her family sold a pig! Fortunately, she met Lu Jianping and chased the money back, for which she was very grateful to him. During the conversation, she glanced at Lu Jianping with her bright eyes from time to time, and when she touched his gaze, she would bow her head shyly. Lu Jianping understood that Li Chuntao was really in love with him. Since then, Li Chuntao often came to the barracks to see him, and he often asked her out to play, and over time, they fell in love.
At this time, Lu Jianping suddenly remembered that the second brother had mentioned Zhang Juhua to him in the letter, although he did not explicitly agree to the family affair at that time, but he should hurry up to the letter to explain, so he wrote a letter to his second brother, which read:
Second brother and sister-in-law: Hello!
I haven't written to you for another month, are you okay at home? I miss you so much, and I hope you are safe and happy!
I am writing to tell you one thing today, I recently met a woman named Li Chuntao, she is our company commander's sister-in-law, and she is very beautiful. Through a relationship, we both felt good about each other, so I had already established a relationship with her. At this time, I remembered that you had mentioned to me my sister-in-law's sister Chrysanthemum, At that time, I was in a bad mood, so I wrote to you casually, you can look at it. Now it seems that it is indeed too hasty, and I don't know what you said to Chrysanthemum. Is she serious, if that's the case, please explain to her, I'm sorry for her, second brother and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for you, I hope you forgive me.
I wish the whole family good health and all the best! Di Jianping, November 28
When he received this letter, he made Lu Jianhui angry, he threw the letter on the ground, and said angrily: "This Jianping, why is this like this, can you talk about this kind of thing casually, what a bastard!" β
At this time, his wife Wang Yulian was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard his roar, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen and asked, "What's the matter, loud and loud?" β
"What's the matter, Jianping said that he and their company commander's sister-in-law got along. said that he and Chrysanthemum were in a bad mood at the time, and said it casually, you see, isn't this nonsense, it really me off! Lu Jianhui said angrily.
"Hey, Lu Jianhui, why is your family like this, although Xiao Shuqin is said to be the daughter of the landlord, but that girl is very responsible, and she is the one you Jianping went to chase, because she wanted to join the party and become an official, she dumped them. I kindly introduced my cousin to him, but he didn't want to say it directly. Now that I have fallen in love with the company commander's sister-in-law, I simply said that he had changed again, and I also said that he said it casually at the time, and he made fun of my cousin! Wang Yulian was even more angry.
Seeing that his wife was more annoyed than himself, Lu Jianhui was afraid of adding fuel to the fire, so he stopped talking, and let Wang Yulian mumble and scold for a while, before he said euphemistically: "Yulian, there is nothing he can do if he wants to do this, we can't manage it if we want to, let's think about how to tell Chrysanthemum, Jianping is a brute, I won't care about his affairs anymore." β
Hearing his words, Wang Yulian stopped muttering, she thought for a while, and went to the kitchen to cook again.
In the afternoon, Wang Yulian came to her cousin Zhang Juhua's house with the letter. Zhang Juhua immediately greeted her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you here, it must be a letter from Jianping, right?" β
Wang Yulian saw Zhang Juhua's elated appearance, knowing that she was worried about Lu Jianping, and felt uneasy. But she understood that she had to say it anyway, so she took out the letter and said to Zhang Juhua: "Sister, he is a letter, but. "But what?" Zhang Juhua asked suspiciously.
"Girl, we're sorry for you." Wang Yulian said guiltily.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Zhang Juhua's eyes widened.
"Jianping said that he was in a bad mood when he wrote that letter, and he said it casually, and he had already reconciled with their company commander's sister-in-law." Wang Yulian said.
Zhang Juhua is a very scheming girl. Hearing this, she couldn't help but be angry, and she said angrily: "Sister-in-law, why are you like this, didn't you say that he agreed last time, and he let you call the shots in this matter, and showed me his letter." Now he said that he was in a bad mood at the time, and he said it casually, and he used me to tease him. Let me tell you, sister-in-law, I, Zhang Juhua, am not easy to bully. However, I know that I don't blame you for this, you go back first, this matter can't be so simple and finished. β
"Chrysanthemum, what do you want to do?" Wang Yulian asked.
"Sister-in-law, you don't care, you just leave his letter to me."
"Okay, Chrysanthemum, look at it, a person like him, maybe it's a good thing to leave him."
Zhang Juhua nodded, and without making a sound, Wang Yulian put the letter on the table and turned to leave.
The next day, Zhang Juhua took the letter to Binhai City by train. Inquire all the way to the door of the barracks of the third company, the doorman asked her who she was looking for, she said that she was looking for the company commander, just as the messenger passed by the door, the doorman asked the messenger to take her to the office.
It was Sunday, the barracks was very quiet, only the company commander Lu Zhennan was on duty in the office, and the correspondent Xiao Liu took Zhang Juhua into the office and said to him: "Company commander, this sister is looking for you." β
Lu Zhennan looked at Zhang Juhua and nodded, "Girl, where are you from, do you have something to do with me?" β
Zhang Juhua walked into the barracks for the first time and talked to a company commander for the first time, she was a little nervous and couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhennan smiled and said, "Girl, what are you nervous about, you just have to say something." After listening to his words, Zhang Juhua mustered up the courage to say: "Company commander, my name is Zhang Juhua, and I am from the same village as Lu Jianping, in fact, I don't know if I should come here to find you, I just want you to comment on this theory, Lu Jianping, is he right to do this?" β
"Lu Jianping, so you are from Lu Jianping's hometown, what's wrong with him, you say." Lu Zhennan asked.
Zhang Juhua said: "It is said that now is a new society, marriage is free, and no one can control other things, but you are soldiers, you must always talk about morality." β
"Of course." Lu Zhennan nodded.
Zhang Juhua said again: "But you Lu Jianping, at the beginning, we all knew that it was Xiao Shuqin who he was chasing, and the two of them were so good." But as soon as he heard that Xiao Shuqin's landlord composition influenced him to join the party and promote him, he abandoned the family. Later, his sister-in-law introduced me to him, and he said in the letter that he would let them look at it, which means that he agreed. So I waited for him at home with joy. But who would have thought that he met your sister-in-law again, of course it's good to be related to you, and you can say it if you don't want me, but he is good, he only said in the letter that he was in a bad mood at the time, and he said it casually, which means that it doesn't count at all, isn't this bullying! You are the People's Liberation Army, can you do this? β
After listening to Zhang Juhua's story, Lu Zhennan was very angry, but he still calmly said to Zhang Juhua: "Girl, thank you for coming to us to report the situation, we will investigate this matter, if the situation is true, we will criticize him, You have worked hard all the way, I will ask the correspondent to take you to the reception room for a rest." When Lu Jianping comes back, I will understand the situation. β
Zhang Juhua said: "No need, I'm nothing, and I'm embarrassed to trouble you, I just came here to tell Lu Jianping that you must be sincere and not too snobbish, especially a soldier." I'm sure you don't want your soldier to be a snob, okay, I'm leaving. With that, she walked out the door.
Lu Zhennan didn't speak, he felt that this woman had a lot of personality, presumably this matter must be true, if Lu Jianping's character was indeed problematic, would it be a mistake for Chun Tao to choose him. Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone talking loudly outside the barracks door, he walked to the door and saw that it was Lu Jianping and Li Chuntao who walked in from outside the door and happened to meet Zhang Juhua. Lu Jianping looked at her in surprise and asked, "Zhang Juhua, you, why did you come here?" β
Zhang Juhua said coldly: "Why, I shouldn't have come, it's not the right time, right?" β
"No, no." Lu Jianping hurriedly smiled and said, "You are my fellow countryman or relative, you can come whenever you want." He turned to Li Chuntao and said, "Let me introduce her, she is my sister-in-law's cousin Zhang Juhua." He said to Zhang Juhua: "Her name is Li Chuntao, my girlfriend." β
"Girlfriend, that's good, it's just that your girlfriend changed too quickly!" Zhang Juhua sneered.
"Zhang Juhua, what do you mean by that?" Lu Jianping's face suddenly lengthened. Li Chuntao was also very surprised!
Zhang Juhua said contemptuously: "Don't you know what you mean? In May, your girlfriend was Xiao Shuqin, because her background affected you to join the party, so you abandoned her. In September, my cousin introduced you to me, and although you didn't directly say that you agreed, you said in the letter that they would take care of it. Of course I'd think you agreed to it, and I thought I was already your girlfriend. But you, within a few days, climbed up to her again, the company commander's sister-in-law. I have no right to interfere in this matter, but why don't you say it directly, and you have to say in the letter that you were in a bad mood at the time, and you said it casually. You mean you didn't agree to this family affair at all, I was the one who was passionate, right? Lu Jianping, you are too much of a bully! Don't look at you as a soldier, but I look down on you in my bones, I forget my righteousness and think differently, what are you! β
"Zhang Juhua." Lu Jianping's face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Why are you like this, I have nothing to do with you, but you are here to talk nonsense." I think you'd better go, I don't have you as a relative! After speaking, he pulled Li Chuntao and left.
"Am I talking nonsense, you know it in your heart, I want to give you a piece of advice, don't meet a sister-in-law of the head of the regiment, otherwise your girlfriend will be miserable!" Zhang Juhua looked at his back and said. Lu Jianping didn't look back, and pulled Li Chuntao to the family courtyard. Seeing that they were far away, Zhang Juhua left the barracks angrily.
"Lu Jianping, you come back for me!" Suddenly hearing a shout behind him, Lu Jianping looked back and saw that it was the company commander Lu Zhennan, he was taken aback, hurriedly turned around and ran back, and asked suspiciously: "Company commander, are you looking for me?" β
"Lu Jianping, let me ask you, is what the girl said true?" Lu Zhennan asked solemnly.
"Yes." Lu Jianping lowered his head and said.
"You! How can you do that? β
"I just broke up with Xiao Shuqin at that time and felt very messy, so I just said that my brother and sister-in-law would watch it, and I didn't even meet her, does this count, she is completely unreasonable!" Lu Jianping said aggrievedly.
"Lu Jianping, Lu Jianping, what are you telling me to say, marriage is not a child's play, how can you agree casually, you are not serious, but others are serious. If you hadn't broken that girl's heart, how could she have come all the way to the army to find you. Look at what kind of impact you have had on yourself and our troops, Lu Jianping, you have disappointed me so much! β
"Yes, it is true that I did not handle this matter well, company commander, please believe me, I will never make such a mistake again in the future." Lu Jianping said ashamedly.
"Forget it, let's go, I don't know what Chun Tao will think." Lu Zhennan shook his head and said.
"Well, I'm going to chase her." After Lu Jianping finished speaking, he turned around and chased after Li Chuntao.
When he came to the gate of the family home, Lu Jianping said to Li Chuntao: "Chuntao, you go back, I won't go in." β
"No, wait a minute." Li Chuntao said.
"What's the matter, are you okay?" Lu Jianping asked.
"Why, don't you think you should give me an explanation for today's events?" Li Chuntao asked again.
"Alas!" Lu Jianping sighed and said: "I didn't want to say this, but now it seems that I can't say it, I have indeed been in love with Xiao Shuqin for more than two years, and it is true that I chased her, we love each other very much, in May, I came back from visiting home, and the instructor called me to the office and told me clearly that because her family is a landlord, I must break up with her if I want to join the party, otherwise I can only go home to farm." You say, what can I do. I had to break up with her! At that time, my brother and sister-in-law wrote to me again and told me about Zhang Chrysanthemum, you said that at that time, how could I have the heart to think about this, so I wrote it casually, you can look at it. Hey, I'm so casual, you see how much you annoy yourself, and make you unhappy, I'm really sorry, I hope you forgive me! β
After listening to his narration, Li Chuntao said lightly: "Okay, I understand, you go back first." β
"Okay, I'll go first, goodbye!" Lu Jianping smiled slightly and turned to leave, but he had a hunch that there was a problem between them.
Sure enough, the next day, Lu Zhennan called him to the office, handed him a letter and said, "This is from Chun Tao for you, go back and take a look." β
"Okay." Lu Jianping agreed, turned around and walked out. He opened the letter and saw that there were only two lines written on it: Jianping: I thought about it all night last night, I don't think we are suitable, let's break up! β
Although he had a hunch, Lu Jianping was still so angry that his face turned blue, he tore the letter to shreds, flew to the door of Lu Zhennan's house, and hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted: "Chun Tao, you come out, you come out, I want to see you, I really love you, that's a misunderstanding......
Hearing the shouting, Lu Zhennan's daughter-in-law Li Chunlan opened the door and walked out, and said coldly to Lu Jianping: "You go, she won't see you, didn't she tell you what she should say in the letter, you go quickly." β
"No, I'm not leaving, Chun Tao, you come out, I must see you!" Lu Jianping still refused to leave, he shouted loudly. At this time, Lu Zhennan came back, and when he saw this scene, he yelled: "Lu Jianping." "To," Lu Jianping replied. Lu Jianping, what are you running here to shout, isn't all this your own doing? Let me tell you clearly, I think Chun Tao made this decision very wisely, you better go back and reflect on your behavior, I hope you will take a good road in the future. Lu Zhennan said solemnly.
Looking at Lu Zhennan's stern eyes, he understood that the matter between himself and Chun Tao was irreparable, and he felt very aggrieved in his heart, so he just hummed softly.
Lu Zhennan shouted again: "Lu Jianping, listen to my command, stand upright, target, company playground, run, walk." Lu Jianping had to run to the playground with great reluctance, banged on the basketball hoop hard, and shouted bitterly: "Lu Jianping, Lu Jianping, why are you so unlucky, Zhang Juhua, you stinky woman, I have nothing to do with you, what kind of mess are you making......"
However, what he didn't expect was that five days later, the company announced the list of demobilized fighters this year, and he was among them. He couldn't help but run to the playground and cry loudly, he understood that all this was the result of Zhang Juhua's coming to the army, and this was all caused by himself, how could he be so hasty, he didn't want to think about it at the beginning, as long as he didn't think about it, there would be nothing, but he just wrote one for them to look at, this is good, the future is in vain, none of the three women have been fished, Lu Jianping, why are you so remorseful......
The next day, Lu Jianping took off his military uniform, left the army with his demobilized comrades, took the train back to Linjiang County, and then walked to Cuizhu Bay with a backpack on his back. As he walked through the small hill at the head of the village, he remembered Xiao Shuqin again. That's where they met. The two of them love each other very much, and there has been no conflict so far. In order to join the party, he ruthlessly abandoned her. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and how could I see people when I returned to the village. Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw a woman washing vegetables by the river, that figure is so familiar, ah! Isn't that Xiao Shuqin, why was she the first person I met!
Seeing Xiao Shuqin's bulging belly, Lu Jianping had mixed feelings in his heart, he thought, if he hadn't made that wrong decision, what a happy couple we were, the child in her womb is the crystallization of our love, and now she and the child belong to others. Although he joined the party, he couldn't do it, what's the use of this, he can only stay in the countryside and farm for the rest of his life, this is really bald and rotten. At this moment, I came home in disgrace, but the first person I met was her, how should I face it, or avoid her, so as not to be embarrassed. He was thinking about it, but Xiao Shuqin washed the dishes and was about to leave with the basket, and the moment she turned around, she saw Lu Jianping, suddenly stunned, stopped for a moment, and turned around and walked away. Lu Jianping hurriedly ran forward to stop Xiao Shuqin and said, "Shuqin, don't go, listen to me, I'm sorry for you!" I didn't mean to hurt you, I still love you, I had no choice but to do it, I wanted to join the party too much. It's me who is bad, please forgive me. β
Xiao Shuqin said coldly: "Lu Jianping, you don't need to tell me this at all, my husband's name is Gao Hongguang, we are very affectionate, our child will be born in a few months, I hope you will never bother me again!" With that, she got up to leave.
"No," Lu Jianping said bitterly: "Shuqin, we used to love each other so much, I don't believe it, I don't believe that you will forget me so quickly, I don't believe it!"
β
"Of course I haven't forgotten you, I can't forget that you made me jump into the river, if Gao Hongguang hadn't arrived in time, I would have become a ghost a long time ago, do you say I can forget you, you ruthless and unrighteous thing! You go away for me, I don't want to see you again! Xiao Shuqin said angrily.
Lu Jianping didn't expect the incident to cause such serious consequences, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and Xiao Shuqin left angrily.
Looking at Xiao Shuqin's distant figure, Lu Jianping was not sad, he stood by the Qingxi River in a daze, looking at the quietly flowing river, silently reading, the past, the past, this past thing is like the water flowing in front of him, it will never flow back, face the reality. Thinking of this, he dragged forward with heavy steps. On the way, he met a few villagers to ask him, but he was just absent-minded. When I came to the door of the house, I saw my mother Ding Guilan washing clothes in the courtyard. He stood at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, looking at his mother's aging face, thinking that he had returned home in such a dejected manner, Lu Jianping felt indescribably sad in his heart, and he choked up and shouted: "Mom! β
Ding Guilan raised her head, looked at Lu Jianping happily, and said, "Pingwa, why are you back again, still carrying a bed, aren't you going?" β
"Mom, I'm demobilized." Lu Jianping said with a wry smile.
"What's the matter?" His father, Lu Degui, came out of the house with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth when he heard the sound, and said, "It's not that you have joined the party, and you can still be promoted, why do you run back again." β
"Alas!" Lu Jianping sighed and said, "Originally, I couldn't come back, or because I didn't handle the matter with Chrysanthemum properly." At that time, I was upset when I agreed to it, so I didn't think about it. Later, I met the company commander's little sister, and the two of us could talk about it, and I felt that she was more suitable for me, so I had to write to my second brother and ask them to help me say sorry to Chrysanthemum. Who knew that this Zhang Juhua actually went to the army to make trouble with me and made a mess, and as a result, the company commander's little aunt broke up with me, and I was also sent home. β
"It's like this, hey, come back, come back, you did something wrong with this, no wonder." Lu Degui sighed, shook his head and said.
"What's the matter," Ding Guilan said angrily: "This Zhang Juhua is too much, we just heard Jianhui say about it, the two haven't met, what's the matter, and they went to the army to make trouble, it's really a great thing to do, no, I'm going to go to her to settle accounts!" After speaking, she walked to Lu Jianhui's house angrily. Neither Lu Degui nor Lu Jianping stopped her. She knew that Lu Jianhui was not at home at this time, so she went directly to the village office. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the village office, she shouted loudly: "Lu Jianhui, you come out for me!" β
Hearing her shout, Lu Jianhui walked out of the village office in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Mom, what's the matter?" It's like you've eaten **. β
"What's the matter, it's not a good thing for you to do, Jianping could have stayed in the army, but now it's okay, so you can go home and farm." Ding Guilan said angrily.
"What's the matter, Jianping is back, Lang is doing it, didn't he say that he has joined the party, can he still do it, why did he come back?"
"You also asked me, Zhang Juhua went to Jianping and their troops to make trouble, making a miasma, and offended the company commander's sister-in-law, can Jianping come back?" I'll tell you, I can't swallow this breath, you tell Wang Yulian, ask her cousin Zhang Juhua to explain to us, why do you want to do this, otherwise, this matter will not be able to pass! Ding Guilan said angrily.
"If you want it, if you want it, I'll go to her right away, Zhang Juhua, this girl is really good, Jianping is a little sorry for her, and she shouldn't go to the army to make trouble." Lu Jianhui said and walked home.
When he came home, he saw Wang Yulian feeding the chickens, and he said angrily: "Yulian, your cousin Zhang Juhua is still stubborn, and she secretly ran to the army to make trouble. My mom is going to settle accounts with her, tell me, what should I do? β
"What's the matter, Zhang Juhua went to the army to find Jianping to make trouble, and Jianping was demobilized and came back, is this true?" Wang Yulian asked in surprise.
"It's not true that anyone is playing tricks on these things, you hurry up and ask her with me, if you wait until I ask, it won't be so good-looking." Lu Jianhui said coldly.
"I'm going to ask, what are you doing like that, although the chrysanthemum thing is a bit excessive, isn't it your family Jianping's fault first, the girl's heart can be hurt casually." Wang Yulian muttered and walked out the door. Lu Jianhui scolded her: "This mother-in-law, you still help her speak!" Then he went back to his office.
Zhang Juhua's home and Lu's house are separated by two hillsides. When she came to the hillside in front of Zhang's house, Wang Yulian saw Zhang Juhua carrying a basket and picking ear roots on the ridge, so she shouted: "Chrysanthemum." β
"Ah, cousin, why are you here?" Zhang Juhua raised her head and asked.
"Chrysanthemum, let me ask you, did you go to the army to find Jianping?" Wang Yulian asked.
"Well, there's this, what's wrong?" Zhang Juhua said.
"No wonder you asked me to leave Jianping's letter to you that day, it turned out that you wanted to go to the army to make trouble with him. You can really do it, although Jianping did something wrong, but the two of you haven't officially met, and he is actually not wrong. But when you ran to the army and made a fuss, you caused the people who were talking about it to blow up, and the things you did were yellow, and you were demobilized and went home to become a farmer. You've done a great job, you! Wang Yulian said indignantly. What's the matter, I just hate him, who told him to play tricks on me, obviously he changed when he saw the company commander's little sister, and he also said that he didn't think about it at the time, he said it casually, isn't this bullying! Zhang Juhua said unconvinced.
"You are still reasonable, people hurt you just to make you sad, and you will forget about it after a while, but you hurt him for a lifetime, I think your hatred is forever settled. What to do, you can see for yourself. After Wang Yulian finished speaking, she turned around and left.
