Chapter 9 Plum Delivery
Maybe I think too simply, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, I think that only the college entrance examination is the only way out for our rural youth, according to your conditions, I feel sorry for giving up, after Yang Xiaorong told us about this before you came, I think it is not interesting to be a soldier, you see that many people in our village who have returned from the army are farmers when they go, and they are still farmers when they come back. Hu Yongan picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water and continued: I just listened to the words of Xiaogen and Xiaorong, and changed my opinion, the veterans in the village are not good compared with you, most of them have a primary school culture, some have never studied, and the most read is only to junior high school, and their junior high school name does not match the truth, and it cannot reach the level of junior high school at all, you are different, you are a veritable high school student, the resumption of the college entrance examination is national, and I think the army is no exception, so you don't think about it anymore, and make up your mind to become a soldier.
Mr. Hu said what I wanted to say. Yang Xiaorong raised his right hand in the air and changed from palm to fist and said with a smile: This is an opportunity, seize it.
Xie Xiaogen raised his hands and said: I raised my hands in agreement, after this village, there will be no such shop.
What kind of village, what shop? You drank so much last night, I thought you were going to affect your work, I didn't expect you to come to work so early, it's not bad. While everyone was talking, Yang Ji'an, the commander of the militia battalion, walked into the office as he spoke, and said to Yang Qianfeng: I just came from your house, your father said that you went to work, you drank a lot of wine yesterday, I don't worry, I'm afraid that you forgot to go for a physical examination today, let's go, I have already told the principal, you can come back tomorrow.
Battalion commander, you really care about Yang Qianfeng! But do you know that you are digging into the wall of the school! Yang Xiaorong said mischievously.
Yang Ji'an said proudly: This is not digging the foot of the wall, I am sending talents to the country, and the striker is the first high school student I sent to be a soldier, of course, we must pay attention to and care about it.
On November 25th, the admission notice for enlistment came down, and in the evening Yang Qianfeng wrote a letter to Ouyang Lamei, telling her that he had joined the army, and wrote many words of encouragement and thanks.
Ye Xiaoba, who participated in the second place in the primary school teacher recruitment examination, took over Yang Qianfeng's work, from the principal to the teachers to the students were all happy for Yang Qianfeng, when Yang Qianfeng packed up his things and left the school, the duplex class he was in charge of were reluctant, and several older male and female classmates also shed tears.
On the morning of November 29, Yang Ji'an, the commander of the militia battalion, and Yang Qianfeng's father sent Yang Qianfeng to the commune, and the other three who joined the army were also sent to the commune by the militia battalion commander of their village.
The truck was transferred from Baiguo Iron Mine, the box was pasted with slogans such as "one person joins the army, the whole family is glorious", the members of the gong and drum team sat on the benches temporarily placed on the car, after the car started, the family members waved to their children respectively, and went home happily, along the way the gongs and drums were noisy, Minister Mao safely sent the four recruits to the county people's armed forces department, and then the recruits were handed over to the troops with the troops.
The leader who led the troops immediately divided the 120 recruits into three platoons and 12 squads, the platoon commander was the leader of the troops, and each platoon commander temporarily determined four temporary squad leaders from among the recruits, and soon the 120 people who were scattered like a plate of yarn became a neat 12 fir teams, and the leader of the regiment made a speech, he first welcomed each comrade to become a member of the big family of the troops, and then announced the discipline and precautions on the way to the troops, and the whole speech was concise and focused. Finally, he said that he had lunch at half past eleven o'clock and set off on time at half past one, and the scope of activities during the period - in the compound of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, he was not allowed to leave the gate of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.
After the disbandment, the members of each class gathered around to introduce themselves.
Yang Qianfeng originally planned to go to Ouyang Lamei's house to play before leaving, the letter to Ouyang Lamei was sent to the dormitory of the Education Bureau, and I don't know if she received it.
After lunch, Yang Qianfeng didn't know what was wrong, and his sense of loss became more and more serious, especially wanting to see Ouyang Lamei, even if he didn't say anything when he met.
Yang Qianfeng sat on the military backpack, trying to restrain himself, thinking that the two parallel lines were extending infinitely, extending...... There is never a meeting point, sighing unconsciously.
Li Xiaoming, the temporary squad leader, heard Yang Qianfeng's sigh and said: What are you sighing for? Aren't you happy to be a soldier?
Yang Qianfeng smiled and said: Of course I'm happy, if I'm not happy, I won't be a soldier.
Yang Qianfeng. Yang Qianfeng heard a familiar voice calling to himself, and looked up to see Ouyang Lamei standing slimly under a holly tree next to the cafeteria.
Li Xiaoming smiled strangely and said: Now I know why you sighed, it turned out that you were waiting for the beautiful big girl who sent you. After speaking, he pushed Yang Qianfeng with his hand and said: Go quickly, go quickly, go quickly.
Yang Qianfeng quickly stood up and said to Li Xiaoming: Then I'll go.
I thought you hadn't received my letter, and I didn't expect you to come and send me. ran to Ouyang Lamei's side and said.
Ouyang Lamei raised her chin mischievously and said: I don't know, forget it, I will definitely come to see you off if I know.
Seeing that Yang Qianfeng stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, he said embarrassedly: Why don't you know each other?
I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have really grown into a big girl, and you can no longer see the thin and small figure you had in junior high school, but your demeanor has not changed at all. Yang Qianfeng said sincerely.
He spoke in a much louder tone than I did. Ouyang Lamei turned around in place and said with a smile: Is it beautiful or ugly?
Sit down! Yang Qianfeng saw that the two round stone benches under the tree were very clean and said: Of course they are getting more and more beautiful.
Ouyang Lamei sat down and pouted, then giggled again, and then gently slapped Yang Qianqiao in the chest with her fist and said: Learn to be poor, you are so handsome in a military uniform, by the way, what are your plans to go to the army? When my uncle came back to visit his relatives three months ago, he said that all cadres in the army would pass the examination and all of them would have to go to military schools.
What does your uncle do? Yang Qianfeng was very interested in going to military school for the exam, and hurriedly asked.
My uncle was a soldier in the army, he was not highly educated but very good at military affairs, he was originally a company commander, and it seems that he was promoted to deputy battalion commander after returning from visiting relatives. Ouyang Lamei proudly introduced.
What he says should be highly credible. Yang Qianfeng thought to himself that it was no wonder that she used to wear cadre uniforms a lot, it should have been given by his uncle.
Of course, so after you join the army, you must seize the opportunity and strive to be admitted to the military academy, and I have great confidence in you as a classmate. Ouyang Lamei said encouragingly.
Thank you for your concern and encouragement, I will definitely cheer up. Yang Qianfeng said happily.
I can't help you anything, I can only say some words of encouragement, the last junior high school recruitment teacher obviously cheated, but I can't help at all. You may not know it yourself, you have helped me too much, I am not only talking about you helping me defeat the cowherd, the point is to help me improve my interest in learning, to be honest, I am not interested in mathematics at all, you know that in the past I saw a math problem that I couldn't do and threw it aside, you laughed and said that you can't do this, you have to find happiness in overcoming problems, I remembered this sentence, and at the same time began to ask you some questions I threw aside, and it was really like this, every time I understood a problem, I was very happy. Ouyang Lamei smiled and said: It is your help that makes me gradually like mathematics, and now I encounter difficult problems, I have to find ways to solve it, whenever I solve it, there is always a sense of accomplishment and happiness, the teacher also said that I made a little faster progress, I want to say thank you, I really want to thank you.
You're already smart, and I'm sure you're going to have a good chance of getting into college next year. Yang Qianfeng encouraged.
Thank you for your good words. Ouyang Lamei smiled and finished speaking, but suddenly put away her smile, changed the topic and said: By the way, there is something I haven't asked you? What's going on with you and Chen Laixiang?
How do you know? Yang Qianfeng asked suspiciously.
Huang Xiaofang's family and my family are relatives, at the beginning of September Huang Xiaofang came to my house to learn about the review class, she was ready to go to the review class to review, when she talked about you and Chen Laixiang, and said that Teacher Hong suppressed this matter, I was very surprised to hear it, how can I not believe that you will do this kind of thing, but Chen Laixiang is beautiful, usually does not like to talk, and people are very honest, so Huang Xiaofang said I have to believe, are you impulsive or ...... Ouyang Lamei said this, staring at Yang Qianfeng with a regretful expression and did not continue.
I'm not saying how bad Chen Laixiang is, but do you believe that dogs that don't bark love to bite people the most? As Mr. Hong said, this matter will become darker and darker, I really didn't play hooligan on her, believe it or not. Facing Ouyang Lamei, Yang Qianfeng suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Ouyang Lamei's impression of Chen Laixiang has always been very good, Yang Qianfeng's explanation couldn't convince her now, she lowered her head and said: My mother was also present when Huang Xiaofang said this, she always thought that you were a very good young man, and after hearing it, she was even more surprised than me.
Then I have become a hooligan in the impression of you and your mother, in fact, I have a clear conscience and have not done anything wrong. Yang Qianfeng argued.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with pursuing love, but your ways and methods hurt a girl's heart, and it also affects your tall image in my heart. Ouyang Lamei raised her chin and said seriously.
You misunderstood, I didn't pursue her. Yang Qianfeng explained.
No, hugging people without you is a hooligan.
I...... I......
Yang Qianfeng is going to gather quickly. Li Xiaoming shouted loudly.
Hearing Li Xiaoming's shout, both of them stood up at the same time, Ouyang Lamei forced herself not to let the tears flow, smiled reluctantly and stretched out her right hand and said: Forget about these unpleasant things, let us remember the good past, we will always be good classmates.
Yang Qianfeng's strong big hand shook Ouyang Lamei's hand and said: Thank you for coming to see me off, I'm very happy, goodbye!
My sister is looking for her brother to cry, but I don't see my brother feeling sad and sad, looking through my eyes and looking forward to my relatives, and the flowers bloom and fall in spring and autumn...... At this time, the theme song of the movie "Little Flower" sounded on the loudspeaker - "Sister Looking for Brother Tears Flowing"
When she heard this music, Ouyang Lamei couldn't control herself anymore, tears flowed down, she handed the notebook that had been holding tightly in her left hand to Yang Qianfeng and said: This is a small gift for you, take care, goodbye! After speaking, he turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the People's Armed Forces Department.
Looking at the back of Ouyang Lamei's departure, Yang Qianfeng's heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he really wanted to rush up to tell her what happened that night, but would she believe it? ……
It's been almost seven years in the blink of an eye, the scene at that time seems to be right in front of him, a gust of wind is blowing, Yang Qianfeng feels particularly cool, looking at his watch is already more than twelve o'clock in the night, thinking that time flies really fast, the comrades of the political work department of the Public Security Bureau told him to go to work at the Sunshine Police Station before half past eight tomorrow, although he didn't want to get up early, he thought that he still had to sleep well, and tomorrow - July 28, 1986 will be another new starting point in his life.
