The River of Years Episode 1 Xu Xiaoou

The source of this story comes from Cuizhuwan, a small mountain village in Linjiang County, the land of abundance. The village is located on a mountain beside the Qingxi River, a tributary of the Jialing River, where it is evergreen all year round, full of green mountains and bamboos, very elegant and beautiful. One evening in the autumn of 1953, a beautiful girl walked on a hillside at the edge of the village. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, slender, with a pair of long black braids swaying behind her, and she looked very beautiful. This girl's name is Xiao Shuqin, she is carrying a small basket behind her, she is going to her cousin's house in the town to visit relatives, have fun, and come back a little late. On this hillside is a lush bamboo forest, and it is very quiet to walk in it, but at this time, she is a little scared!

She quickened her pace, looking left and right, wanting to get out of the bamboo forest as soon as possible. At this moment, a tall man suddenly popped out of the bamboo forest on the side of the road, he was dressed in black clothes and pants, covered his face, held a dagger, and said fiercely: "Take out the money and walk, disobedient Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

"Ahh Mom too! This sudden situation frightened Xiao Shuqin, she screamed, turned around and ran.

The masked man shouted, "You dare to run, you stand for me!" "Pull your legs and chase after you!

Xiao Shuqin was even more panicked, shouting as she ran: "Help—help—"

"Run, I see if you can run away!" The masked man shouted, following in hot pursuit. Xiao Shuqin had no choice but to run desperately, but she didn't want to bump into a young man walking towards her, she grabbed his hand, hid behind him, and said in horror: "Quick, there are robbers, save me!" ”

The young man looked ahead in surprise and said suspiciously, "What's the matter, robbery, which one is it, where is it, there is no one?" ”

Listening to his words, Xiao Shuqin looked fixedly, and there was really nothing in front of her. "Ah, I must have been scared away by you." She felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, she recognized this young man as Lu Jianping from their village. The two families are not far apart, but they have never spoken, and today they suddenly stood together in close proximity, she blushed so much that she lowered her head deeply. Lu Jianping is a very handsome young man, 18 years old this year, of medium height, with a pair of smart black eyes flashing on his melon seed face. When he saw Xiao Shuqin's shy appearance, he smiled and said, "Sister, it seems that I really scared the robbers away, why don't you thank me?" ”

Listening to his words, Xiao Shuqin raised her head, looked at him and said, "Well, I want to thank you, you scared me terribly just now!" ”

"Yes, a girl, it's not safe to walk at night, I'll send you back." Lu Jianping said.

Thinking of the scene just now, Xiao Shuqin still had palpitations, so she nodded, and the two walked home together.

Xiao Shuqin's father is Xiao Wancai, a large landowner in the village, because of blood debts, he was suppressed by the local ** during the land reform, and his mother was ill and passed away soon after. Both of his older brothers are out of town. Now she is left alone, because of her bad background, she rarely talks to others, and she spends her dull days miserably. This accident shortened the distance between her and Lu Jianping. After that, they became familiar with each other, and often met together to catch up on the scene and watch movies, and over time, the two fell in love.

That afternoon, Lu Jianping came to Xiao Shuqin's house and said with a smile: "I brought someone, he is my best friend." ”

"Hehe, best friend, which one is it?" Xiao Shuqin smiled. "Hongguang, come in quickly." Lu Jianping shouted outside the door.

"Oh, here it is, and at his shout, a tall young man walks in. When Xiao Shuqin saw him, she was stunned! It turned out that he was Gao Hongguang, the second son of the Gao family who lived next door to her house. This guy is 1.8 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a square face with Chinese characters, inlaid with two thick silkworm eyebrows, a big nose, and thick lips, he is the same age as Lu Jianping, and he looks very simple and honest. Gao Hongguang's father was originally a tenant of her family, and he moved in with her after the land reform. Seeing that her house was occupied by others, Xiao Shuqin has always been very awkward in her heart, so she never looked at them when she came out and went in. But she still knew what he looked like, and she would see him, thinking that the two families were neighbors but had never spoken to each other, and she blushed a little, so she turned her face shyly. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was very similar to the gangster that night, so she turned her head and stared straight at Gao Hongguang with both eyes. She stared at Gao Hongguang's eyes, and he turned his face away in embarrassment.

"What, you're scared, aren't you?" Xiao Shuqin said to Lu Jianping angrily: "Your best friend, funny person, he is the bad guy that night!" ”

Lu Jianping smiled and said, "Yes, it's him, but he's not a robber, he pretended to be a robber to help me." ”

"What, pretending to be a robber, so you two colluded and deliberately put on a show in front of me." Xiao Shuqin's face suddenly lengthened.

"It should be said that this is the case, so I brought him here today just to explain this matter to you clearly and apologize to you, I came up with this idea, I hope you will forgive me!" Lu Jianping said earnestly.

"Forgive you, you said it lightly, I'm not just being fooled by anyone, I tell you, you go, I don't want to see you again!" Xiao Shuqin's face turned blue with anger, and she said angrily.

"Shuqin, you, don't you want to be like this, we don't really want to do anything to you, we don't want to get close to you, but you ignore any of them, you can't do it, I just came up with this idea, don't be angry, okay?" Lu Jianping said again.

"Why am I not angry, I hate liars the most, you guys gang up to lie to me, and tell me not to be angry, you hurry up and let me go!" Xiao Shuqin stretched out her hand and pointed out the door.

Lu Jianping looked at her angry appearance, and thought to himself, it seems that she is difficult to dissipate her anger today, sighed and said: "Shuqin, do you know, I knew you were a good person five years ago, you may have forgotten, that day Gao Hongguang and I were fighting cocks in front of my house, you and your brother passed by there, he saw the good play, and also ran up to fight with us." Who knows, after three fights, he lost, he was annoyed, and reached out to grab me to fight! At that time, you said, brother, if you lose, you will lose, and you have to beat people, you don't look like a man at all. Your brother reluctantly left. From that day on, I knew that you were a good person, and I began to secretly like you in my heart. Later, there has been a great change in this world, and I see that you are now alone every day when you come out and go in, maybe it is sympathy and love, and my heart is thinking about you every day! But I can't confess to you, and I take this method out of helplessness, but I love you for the truth, I hope you can forgive me! After speaking, seeing that Xiao Shuqin was still angry, he pulled Gao Hongguang and left silently.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xiao Shuqin suddenly felt a sense of loss, and thought, yes, I never looked at people directly before, and people really couldn't talk to me, not to mention that I really like him, why don't you hold on to this matter. He also talked about five years ago, and it seems that he has liked me for a long time, and I don't know anything! Hehe. She couldn't help but laugh again, and wanted to call them back, but she was too embarrassed to watch them go away.

The next morning, she saw Gao Hongguang coming out of the house, so she said "sigh" to him. Gao Hongguang saw that there was no one next to him, so he asked in surprise: "Are you calling me?" ”

"It's just the two of us here, not calling you, I'll call that, melon!

Xiao Shuqin glanced at him.

"Hehe, I know if you're going to call me." Gao Hongguang touched his head.

"I don't know, then I know today."

"I know, I know, of course I know, do you call me something?"

"You go and tell Lu Jianping to come to me in the afternoon."

"If you want it, I'll go right away, hehe, aren't you angry?" Gao Hongguang said with a smile.

"Pig braincase, I'll call you when I'm angry." Xiao Shuqin pursed her lips.

"Yes, how stupid my brain is, I don't have Jianping Wa to be smart, hehe, I'll call him, he must be happy and miserable!" After Gao Hongguang finished speaking, he walked away. Looking at his back, Xiao Shuqin felt that he was actually quite cute. As a result, before the afternoon, Lu Jianping came to Xiao Shuqin's house, and the two reconciled as before. Gao Hongguang and Xiao Shuqin have also become good friends, and from time to time, Gao Hongguang will also go to Xiao Shuqin's house to sit. Friendship and love warmth nourished Xiao Shuqin's lonely heart, she and Lu Jian usually walk in the bamboo forest in the mountains, snuggled by the moonlit river, the sunshine of love decorates their lives colorful, and the two young people are intoxicated with love.

Lu Jianping's family has four brothers and sisters, the eldest sister and the third sister are all married, and the second brother Lu Jianhui is 26 years old, 1.7 meters tall, very shrewd and capable, he is already married, and he is also the director of security in the village. That night, Lu Jianping had just arrived at home and saw his second brother sitting in the hall, so he smiled and said, "Director, why are you back today?" ”

Lu Jianhui said with a straight face: "What's wrong with no time, you have to come back if you don't have time, you went home so late, where did you go?" ”

"Of course I'm going out to play, I have to report to you where I go, and you, the security director, are too lenient." Lu Jianping said with a smile.

"Did you go to Xiao Shuqin, I heard that you were playing friends with her?" Lu Jianhui asked again.

"By the way, what's the matter, where are you going to take care of this?" Lu Jianping asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, you have to figure it out, I am a cadre, you are a cadre's family, she is a landlord, a five-category element, a class enemy, how can you marry her, it's black and white, no, you have to break off with her immediately, I resolutely disagree with these family affairs!" Lu Jianhui said.

"What are you doing?" When Lu Jianping saw the second brother's voice, he was also angry, and said angrily: "I ask you, my mother didn't say anything, if you don't agree, I will listen to you if you don't agree." I just like her, what's the matter! Her old man is a landlord, and what does it have to do with her? When her family was rich, she didn't do anything bad, and now she is also self-reliant, and the furnishings at home are not as good as our house, what a landlord, when people are landlords, I am afraid that I can't even think about it!"

"Alas, you just haven't got any luck, it's because they used to show off their might, and we're going to hang her up now. What's more, she is a class enemy, and she will be pulled out to fight whenever she has a movement, and you doll will not listen to me, I will see what you will do at that time? Lu Jianhui shook his head helplessly.

Lu Jianping said firmly: "I love him, I must marry him, no matter what hardships and hardships I encounter in the future, I will share them with her, you don't care about this matter!" ”

At this time, his father Lu Degui came over and said to Lu Jianhui: "Second brother, you don't care about this matter, although the Xiao family is a landlord, but that Xiao Shuqin is a good woman, since he is willing to both, let them play, they choose it by themselves." Lu Jianping's mother, Ding Guilan, also told Lu Jianhui to leave this matter alone, so he had to leave in a huff.

Soon, the township began to recruit soldiers, and Lu Jianping enlisted in the army, put on a green military uniform, wore a big red flower, and became a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army. On the day he left, he brought Gao Hongguang to Xiao Shuqin and said to her: "Shuqin, after I leave, if you have any difficulties, look for him." ”

Xiao Shuqin said with a smile: "There is no difficulty, I will definitely find him" Then, she and Gao Hongguang and the villagers of Cuizhuwan sent Lu Jianping to the military vehicle.

After Lu Jianping joined the army, Gao Hongguang often came to Xiao Shuqin's house to help her carry water, plant seedlings, harvest, and fight. But he left after finishing his work, and rarely took the initiative to talk to Xiao Shuqin. On this day, he helped Xiao Shuqin threshing the grain, and it was already noon after finishing the work, he helped Xiao Shuqin carry the millet home, and then turned around to leave.

Xiao Shuqin glared at him and said, "Why do you always come and leave, I want to eat people!" ”

"No, I don't think it's okay." Gao Hongguang said with a smile.

"You can't sit down until you don't have something to do!" Xiao Shuqin was still unhappy.

"You're a girl, I'm a man, I'm embarrassed." Gao Hongguang blushed and lowered his head and said.

"I'm sorry, hmph, why are you embarrassed to pretend to be a robber? Acquaintances take out the money and walk, disobedient Lao Tzu will kill you! Listen to what you said at the time, it's so powerful, you're still embarrassed, coax that! Xiao Shuqin said jokingly.

"Ouch, girl, don't you say that, I'm sorry for my intestines. That was all Lu Jianping's idea, to call me a wicked person, you didn't dare to look at you now if you didn't see it! It's really wronged, and you're still teasing me!" Gao Hongguang said with annoyance.

"Hehehe, it's a joke, you can't make a joke, and you really take it seriously! Come and sit down. Xiao Shuqin shouted with a smile.

"What are you doing sitting down?" Gao Hongguang muttered and sat down in his chair.

"Look at your clothes, they're so dirty, I'll wash them for you when you take them off."

"Otherwise, I'll let you do my laundry."

"If you don't want anything, you have to give me a fight, and I have to do your laundry, it's funny." Xiao Shuqin pursed her lips. Gao Hongguang blushed and said, "I didn't mean that, you take my clothes to wash, what do I wear." ”

"Then don't wear it, boy, what are you afraid of bare-chested, you are still afraid that I will see it."

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry."

"Hehe, I'm sorry," Xiao Shuqin opened the wardrobe with a smile, took out a white shirt from his brother, handed it to Gao Hongguang and said, "Take it, change it quickly." ”

"Forget it, I'll go back and wash myself." Gao Hongguang still felt embarrassed.

"Ouch, the cowardly elephant doesn't look like a man!" Xiao Shuqin counted, reached out to untie Gao Hongguang's shirt, took off his clothes, and put the white shirt on for him. It was the first time for Gao Hongguang to get so close to a woman, his face was flushed, and his heart was beating violently. Xiao Shuqin's hand inadvertently touched his chest, and he immediately shook his body like an electric shock, and his heart beat faster. Breathing became rapid, too. Seeing him like this, Xiao Shuqin thought he was very cute, so she smiled treacherously and said, "I'll go wash the clothes, and when you're tired, just sleep in bed for a while." Then she took his clothes and went out into the yard to wash them.

Gao Hongguang was really a little tired, he sat on Xiao Shuqin's bed, and felt very comfortable, so he fell on the bed, squinted at Xiao Shuqin outside the door, and thought, this woman is so good-looking, but unfortunately, he doesn't like me. Still, she's so nice to me, oh, what the hell I think, damn it! His thoughts drifted in the fog for a moment, and then he fell asleep. When he woke up, Xiao Shuqin had already cooked for him to eat. The two of them sat together and ate happily before he left. When he went out, he couldn't help but dance. He felt that it was the happiest day of his life.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to June 5, 1955. That evening, Xiao Shuqin was cooking when she suddenly heard the door open and a man in military uniform walked in from outside. When I entered the door, I shouted: "Shuqin, I'm back!" ”

"Ah, it's Jianping, you're back!" Xiao Shuqin shouted in surprise and stepped forward, and the two hugged each other tightly. After a pause, the two let go of their hands and gazed at each other affectionately. "Jianping, you haven't changed at all, you just look a lot more mature." Xiao Shuqin said.

"You've changed, you've become prettier and cuter." Lu Jianping smiled slightly.

"What, your mouth will say." Xiao Shuqin blushed for a while.

"I'm telling the truth, I've wanted to kill you for the past two years, are you okay?" Lu Jianping asked.

"Okay, there's some heavy work in the field, Gao Hongguang is here to help, so everything is fine! By the way, you should call him when you're back. Gao Hongguang came over quickly, and Lu Jianping came back. Xiao Shuqin opened her throat and shouted.

"Oh no, I'll be right here." Gao Hongguang responded and ran over, punched Lu Jianping in the chest, and said angrily: "Your turtle son is heavy and light on friends, and he won't come to see me when he comes back, just run here!" ”

"What's the matter, she is my future daughter-in-law, maybe you won't go home before you get married, just come to me, if you dare to do that, it's strange if your daughter-in-law doesn't knock on your stick!" Lu Jianping said with a smile.

"You doll is always reasonable, I can't say you, okay, I haven't seen you for two years, I'll go buy some wine, let's have two drinks!" Gao Hongguang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go and get back quickly." Lu Jianping couldn't help it: he wished that Gao Hongguang would leave quickly, and he could enjoy this warm two-person world with Xiao Shuqin.

However, Gao Hongguang came back soon, and the three of them happily ate and drank together before Gao Hongguang went home.

That night, the moonlight was hazy, the stars were dotted, Lu Jianping and Xiao Shuqin snuggled in front of the window, and the friendship told about the love of others, Lu Jianping kissed Xiao Shuqin's cheek emotionally, and put his hand into her underwear, this night, they were all intoxicated with happiness and sweetness.

The next day, Lu Jianping went to his second brother Lu Jianhui's house, he hoped that he would agree to their marriage, and then took Xiao Shuqin to visit his house. Lu Jianhui was very happy to see Lu Jianping coming back, so he asked his daughter-in-law Wang Yulian to kill a chicken and leave him at home for dinner. After two glasses of wine, Lu Jianping said: "Brother, you agree to the matter between me and Xiao Shuqin, we plan to get married during the Spring Festival." ”

Who would have thought, as soon as he mentioned this, Lu Jianhui's face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "Jianping, you must marry him, I don't care, but it is impossible for you to agree with me." If you think about it, how can I, a village cadre and a member of the Communist Party, be in the same boat with the landlord elements? ”

"So you strongly disagree?" Lu Jianping was also angry.

Wang Yulian grabbed Lu Jianhui and said, "What do you do, people are both willing, why bother with you!" ”

"You don't care, I will never agree to the two of them!" Lu Jianhui said categorically.

"Okay, I must marry Xiao Shuqin, you should be without me as a brother!" With that, he threw down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked out the door without looking back

。 However, he didn't tell Xiao Shuqin about this, and the two are still living a honeymoon-like life together. Half a month later, Lu Jianping was going back to the army. Xiao Shuqin sent him to the train station, and before getting on the train, the two of them said goodbye with tears in their eyes.

Three days later, Lu Jianping returned to the barracks of the third company of the Binhai City Guard Regiment, he was the deputy squad leader of the first class, and the comrades-in-arms in the squad enthusiastically surrounded him and asked him questions, and he also took out the peanuts brought by the family and distributed them to everyone, "Hahaha, Jianping, this is what your daughter-in-law brought to you, everyone grab it." "Hehe, yes, come and grab it, grab more and eat more, don't eat for nothing." The fighters frolicked feverishly.

Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and a squad leader walked in and said to Lu Jianping: "Lu Jianping, the company commander is looking for you, you hurry up and go to the company headquarters." ”

"Yes." Lu Jianping responded, and immediately walked quickly to the entrance of the company department. Report

。 He shouted. In. The company commander responded.

Lu Jianping walked into the house, and the company commander Lu Zhennan and the instructor Lian Hailong stood up and shook hands with him one by one, and said with a smile: "You're back, how are the family?" ”

"Okay, thank you for your concern." Lu Jianping smiled slightly.

Company commander Lu Zhennan is a straightforward man, he said to Lu Jianping, "You kid is a good seedling, but you are confused, this will harm you for a lifetime, do you understand?" ”

"I, what's wrong with me?" Lu Jianping looked at Lu Zhennan suspiciously.

"You, what do I say about you! Let the instructor talk to you. After Lu Zhennan finished speaking, he went out.

Lian Hailong looked at Lu Jianping and asked, "You have a partner in your hometown, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Lu Jianping nodded.

"What's her name, what family background?" Lian Hailong asked again.

"Her name is Xiao Shuqin, her family, her family background is, she is a landlord." He said hesitantly.

"Yes." Lian Hailong looked at Lu Jianping and said: "Originally, love and marriage are your own business, and no one has the right to interfere." However, you are a soldier, you are excellent in all aspects, and you are also actively asking to join the party, and your application for joining the party has been approved after discussion by the branch. But we have heard that you already have a partner in your hometown, and you are still the daughter of a landlord, and this is a problem, and we have very high requirements for party members, and a Communist Party member must love the party, the country, socialism, and imperialism, capitalism, landlords, capitalists, and all exploiting classes. But you prefer to love a landlord's daughter, this is a matter of class position. Such a person is not allowed to join the party! ”

"Instructor, why is this so, his family is a landlord, but she is a good girl, and she is very kind-hearted. Besides, her family is poorer than mine now, what kind of landlord, why can't I get along with her? Lu Jianping said confusedly.

"I didn't say that you can't get along with her," Lian Hailong said solemnly: "However, we will never accept a landlord's son-in-law into the party, okay, I will tell you so much, where to go, you think about it yourself!" With that, he looked out the door.

Lu Jianping understood that he had given an order to evict the guest, and said sadly: "Okay, instructor, then I'll go first." Then he walked out the door.

Back in the dormitory, he lay sullenly on the bed, feeling very painful. He loves Xiao Shuqin deeply, and he longs to fall in love with her and spend his life together, but he also hopes that he can join the party and make contributions in the army! However, the reality is so cruel that he must be forced to make a choice between career and love, and he really doesn't want to give up either! He was in too much pain, and he didn't want his comrades to see it, so he pulled down his hat and covered his face, pretending to be asleep, but his mind was rolling, and he didn't know how to choose. Wang Kai, a fellow soldier in the same class, was a fellow villager with him, and he noticed that Lu Jianping was in a wrong mood, so he walked over, lifted his hat and said, "What's wrong with you?" Lu Jianping sighed and said, "Not much."

"It's not much, look at you, like a frosted eggplant, get up, what's going on, let's go outside and say." Wang Kai couldn't help but say that he pulled Lu Jianping to the playground, the two leaned on the parallel bars, Wang Kai asked: "What's the matter with you, you don't even have a soul when you go to the department?" ”

Lu Jianping said: "Alas, I don't understand why Xiao Shuqin and I can't join the party and promote it, her father is a landlord, but she is a very responsible girl." Why do I have to break up with her if I want to join the party? I can't figure it out! ”

"I see." Wang Kai said: "It seems that I am to blame for this. ”

"What, what's your business!" Lu Jianping asked casually.

Wang Kai said: "The night before yesterday, the squad leader muttered, saying that you should come back. I casually said, he's afraid that he got together with his sweetheart and forgot to return to the date. The squad leader asked, what, Lu Jianping has a partner, he asked, I knew that I had leaked my mouth, so I had to tell him about the two of you, and he also asked Xiao Shuqin what family background he was, can you blame me. ”

Listening to his words, Lu Jianping thought about it. patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wang Kai, don't think so much, you have to check three generations to join the party, sooner or later they will know about it, I just don't understand why I have to make such a painful choice, I love Xiao Shuqin, but I also want to join the party, I want to do it, I want to do a career in the army, why is the reality, why is it so cruel!" Why, why, ah-" Lu Jianping couldn't help but scream hysterically.

Wang Kai held his shoulders regretfully and said: "Jianping, I understand your current mood, but I think you should still think about it, in my opinion, men should focus on their careers, you think, if you join the party and do it, what kind of object is not easy to find!" ”

Who would have thought, as soon as his words fell, Lu Jianping pushed him away and said: "Wang Kai, thank you for your kindness, let me tell you, I would rather go home to farm than break up with Xiao Shuqin!" With that, he hurried back to the dormitory.

However, after more than a month of tossing and turning, in the end, reason still prevailed over emotion, although he loved Xiao Shuqin very much, but he understood that joining the party and promoting cadres was the most important thing for him. The next night, he spread out the letter paper, wrote a letter to Xiao Shuqin on the bed, and sent the letter to his second brother Lu Jianhui, asking him to transfer it to Xiao Shuqin.

10 days later, the letter was sent to Xiao Shuqin by Lu Jianhui, and as soon as she saw that it was sent by Lu Jianping, she ran home happily, and couldn't wait to open the letter, only to see that the letter read:

Shuqin: Hello!

Although it has only been more than a month since we separated, I have been missing you for a long time, and how I wish I could be with you forever and grow old. However, today I have to tell you that I want to break up with you, and I know that you will be surprised and painful, why am I! You must ask why is that? Because our instructor talked to me, he clearly told me that I was doing very well and that the branch had approved my application to join the party. However, if I continue to fall in love with you, I will never pass the political trial. He asked me to make a choice, either I would be demobilized at the end of the year and go back to continue my relationship with you, or I would break up with you and stay in the army to continue to move forward. Do you know how painful it is for me to make such a choice? I love you deeply, but I'm a man, and I want to make a difference in the army! My comrades-in-arms all advised me to start a business first and then start a family, and after this period of hard thinking, I finally decided to break up with you! Shuqin, I'm sorry for you, I'm selfish, you forget about me!

Lu Jianping, July 8, 55

After reading the letter, Xiao Shuqin immediately froze, the letter in her hand slipped to the ground, and she couldn't believe her eyes. Is this true? Could this be the letter written to her by the sweetheart she thought about day and night? She hurriedly bent down, picked up the letter and read it carefully, it was clearly written word by word, it was written by Lu Jianping, and he said that for the sake of his future, he had to break up with her. It seemed that she had fallen from Mount Everest to the Turpan Basin, and it was like a cool frost in June, and she only felt a chill. After her parents left one after another, her life has been lonely and miserable, it is Lu Jianping's love that makes her life full of sunshine, she loves Lu Jianping deeply, thinking that he loves him seems to be all her life, and all of this is in vain at this moment, how can the world be so capricious, how can fate be so indifferent and ruthless, which makes her unacceptable. "Lu Jianping, you liar! Didn't you say you would love me for the rest of your life, why did you regret it so quickly? You don't have any credibility at all, what kind of person are you! I hate you, woo ......" Xiao Shuqin was very sad, she cried from the afternoon until the evening, and when the moon was rising, she raised her head, looked at the crescent moon, and slowly went out of the door and walked towards the Qingxi River. The moonlight is bright, the bamboo shadows are hazy, and the water of the Qingxi River is sparkling, which looks so beautiful in the moonlight. In Xiao Shuqin's eyes, all this seemed so cold and desolate, as if the mountains, the waters, the trees, and the grass were all teasing and mocking her. She felt that the world was full of coldness, hypocrisy, and fraud, and that there was really nothing worth remembering in this world, and only death could be liberated. She walked to the river, stood for a moment, and jumped into the river.

This afternoon, when Lu Jianhui came to deliver the letter, Gao Hongguang and Xiao Shuqin happened to come back from the field, and seeing Xiao Shuqin's elated appearance when she received Lu Jianping's letter, Gao Hongguang's heart was inevitably a little sour. He thought to himself if she would be so happy to receive my letter. As soon as he thought like this, he felt ridiculous again, so he walked home and lay on the bed, but he still couldn't stop thinking about Xiao Shuqin in his heart. He guessed that Lu Jianping must have written a lot of intimate words in the letter, and those words must be very sensitive! Thinking of this, he felt itchy in his heart. At this time, his mother Luo Guifang asked him to eat, and he got up and got out of bed. After eating, in order to relieve the depression in his heart, he went to the town alone for a walk. When the moon rose in the east mountain, he returned to the front of the house, and was about to open the door to enter the house, when he suddenly saw a woman standing by the river, and her figure looked very similar to Xiao Shuqin. Strange, what is she doing by herself at such a late hour? It doesn't look like it's going to play! Don't...... He didn't dare to think about it, and in this silent night, it was inconvenient to call her out loud, so he hurried to the river. At this moment, he suddenly saw Xiao Shuqin jumping into the river. "Xiao Shuqin-" He exclaimed, rushed to the river, threw himself into the river, swam to Xiao Shuqin's side, grabbed her body with one hand, and swam to the shore with her. Fortunately, because of the timely rescue, Xiao Shuqin only choked a few mouthfuls of water and quickly sobered up. "Xiao Shuqin, what are you doing here! Isn't it okay in the afternoon, what the hell is going on? ”

"Brother Hongguang, Lu Jianping, he, he doesn't want me anymore, woo! Woo! I can't figure it out! Woo....." Xiao Shuqin said in a choked voice.

"What, Lu Jianping, he, it's true!" Gao Hongguang couldn't believe his ears.

Xiao Shuqin cried again and nodded.

"He, how could he be like this!" Gao Hongguang shouted angrily. After a pause, he looked at Xiao Shuqin again and said, "Shuqin, even if this is the case, you shouldn't take this road, Lu Jianping is not the only man in this world." I'm also your friend, why can't you tell me anything sad? ”

Hearing his words, Xiao Shuqin just kept crying, and he said again: "Okay, you have to drive some, don't be too sad, let's go home." After speaking, he picked up Xiao Shuqin and walked home.

When he returned home, he put Xiao Shuqin on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, don't get cold!" Then he went to the hall, took off his clothes, wrung them out, and was about to put them on himself. Xiao Shuqin came out of the house, she took out her brother's clothes and draped them on him, and whispered, "Brother Hongguang, thank you!" ”

"Shuqin, do you still need to be polite with me?" Gao Hongguang turned to Xiao Shuqin, looked at her and said: "However, I still have to talk about you, in the future, no matter what happens, you can't help but think about it, you are a very good woman, there are many male babies who like you, and there is one in front of you." ”

"You." Xiao Shuqin blushed for a while, she turned around and lowered her head, walked back to the house, and carefully recalled her relationship with these two men, feeling that Gao Hongguang was much more real than Lu Jianping, and he was taller and burlier than Lu Jianping, but he had no culture, not as good as Lu Jianping could speak, but with him, he would feel very down-to-earth, although he was in love with Lu Jianping, but he actually took care of her, and it was Gao Hongguang who accompanied her! Moreover, he saved her this time, if it weren't for him, he would have been out of this world a long time ago! Now, he's confiding in her again! Such a good man, what am I hesitating about. Yes, I just want to tell him Lu Jianping that there are many male babies who like me, and they can't hang themselves on a tree! Thinking of this, she gently walked out of the house again. Gao Hongguang saw that he was okay and was about to go home. Xiao Shuqin put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his back. Gao Hongguang was suddenly stunned, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he gasped for breath. Suddenly, he turned around, picked up Xiao Shuqin by the waist, came to the back room and put her on the bed, and then pounced on him, and pressed his hot lips to hers. Immediately after, his hand reached into the hem of her garment, and touched her delicate body with emotion. This night, they both reveled in the river of love. In the days that followed, they were together every day. Xiao Shuqin likes to snuggle in Gao Hongguang's arms, she feels that Gao Hongguang is like a mountain, and snuggling in his arms is so warm and steady. She liked his honest character, his deep voice, and she even liked his big thick feet. She also wondered why her feelings had shifted so quickly. At this time, she realized that she had long been in love with Gao Hongguang in her heart, but she didn't realize it at the time.

A month later, she found that she was vomiting all the time and had not had a period for two months, so she quietly ran to the county seat to see a doctor. The doctor smiled and told her, "Congratulations, girl, you're pregnant." ”

"Ah, what, pregnant!" Xiao Shuqin suddenly froze.

"yes, it's been three months. Go and give good news to your family, you can strengthen your nutrition in the future, and you can't do heavy work. The doctor instructed.

"Yes, okay, thank you, doctor." Xiao Shuqin promised to walk out the door. She was in a mess: According to time, this child should be Lu Jianping's, what should I do? It's definitely not okay not to tell Hongguang, isn't that a deception to him! But what if you tell him that he can't accept it. As soon as I talked to him, I went to have a miscarriage, what would others say? Xiao Shuqin didn't know what to do, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

For a few days, Gao Hongguang saw that she was sullen and frowned, so he asked with concern: "Shuqin, what's wrong with you, you have always been sad these days?" ”

"Oh, nothing, I've had a little upset in my stomach these days." Xiao Shuqin said.

"If you have a bad stomach, you have to go to the doctor immediately."

"It's okay, ** sick, I'll be fine in a few days." Xiao Shuqin smiled unnaturally and said. Listening to her words, Gao Hongguang looked at Xiao Shuqin carefully and said, "No, there must be something wrong with you, Shuqin, I am your boyfriend now, and we will be a family in the future, so no matter what happens, you can't hide it from me, okay?" ”

"I, okay." Xiao Shuqin looked at Gao Hongguang and whispered, "I'm pregnant." ”

"What, you're pregnant, so fast, that's good!" Gao Hongguang jumped up with joy.

"Hongguang, I'm sorry, this kid, this kid, it's not yours." Xiao Shuqin said nervously.

"What, this kid...... You're saying the kid is his. Gao Hongguang was suddenly stunned!

"Hmm." Xiao Shuqin nodded bitterly.

"You...... Ah-" Gao Hongguang shouted in pain and ran quickly towards the door.
