Chapter 72: The Laughing Magpie Sings the Branches (1)
Dahong finally received a notice of enlistment, and Wang Chunqing also received a notice to go to the commune to work as a sericulture worker. Before leaving, she invited Da Honghua Mei and Zhang Ming to gather at the Educated Youth House. During the banquet, Zhang Ming often said through wine: "Alas, in the corner of Yinshan Mountain, I finally waited for a ray of sunshine to bend my feet, but I unexpectedly ran into Dahong's nemesis, how pitiful." Dahong said: "What a pity. Usually, we won't grudge over it. "Hahaha, if people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. You are born to be a piece of material, and with the protection and support of the gods and immortals, I, a dim little star, will also want to touch the light of your bright moon in the future. Wang Chunqing said: "Zhang Mingchang, you are drunk. "I'm not drunk, you haven't forgotten, Ma Eryuan has a column, I'll dial you a little, and now a miracle has happened." Wang Chunqing's heart was suddenly shocked, his face was like smeared with chili water, and he hurriedly said, "You are really drunk." ”
Soon, Wang Chunqing was recommended to go to Shujiang Bank School.
Zhang Mingchang may have been inspired by Xiao Xuefeng to travel for Dahong in the Educated Youth House, and asked Yang Wudeng, Ye Wenzhi and the captain of the team to accompany him. During the banquet, Zhang Ming often talked and laughed, without mentioning a word about being a soldier, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yang Wudeng said: "Zhang Mingchang, you work hard, as long as you have the opportunity, the organization will definitely consider it." "Thank you, Secretary Yang and everyone, come, cheers."
Dahong was absent-minded, looked out the window and got up and said, "You drink slowly, I'll say goodbye to the second baby." Ye Wenzhi quietly pinched him, and Yang Wudeng said: "Dahong, it's so late, it's dark again, don't go." "Dad, I promised to go, and I can't break my promise." Ye Wenzhi played a round and said, "Well, it's Li'er, oh, I have a flashlight." ”
Dahong went straight to Huamei's house, he thought: "The day after tomorrow, I will leave for the army, maybe it is life and death." At this time, maybe I am falling from the sky in her dream, but be careful, don't alarm the master Hua Song. Da Hong went to the bamboo forest dam outside the courtyard of Hua Mei's house, extinguished the flashlight, and walked forward on tiptoe to listen to the movement. Fortunately, the stone wall was not installed, and the dog on the edge of the sleeping steps got up and hummed into the courtyard, Dahong thought: "Not long ago, I was blasted out of the door by the master, but this dog has been sending me to Yingziyan ......."
Dahong retreated to Zhulinba, sent a friendly message, and lured the dog out to calm him down. Dahong walked to the wing room where Hua Mei lived and knocked lightly on the door: "Hua Mei, I'm Da Hong." Hua Mei opened the door and lowered her voice: "Honey, come into the house." She was so excited that she cried, hugged Dahong tightly and said, "My dear, I am dreaming of you." Ah, your hands are so cold. "But my heart is hot." She took his hands into her arms: "Honey, you shouldn't come, in case you alarm Dad and Brother......" "Don't worry, the sleepy bugs are settling accounts with them." ”
Hua Mei sent Dahong to the top of Yingzi Rock to kiss goodbye, and Dahong said, "My dear, you, can you let me taste the holy relics that my mother has offered first?" "My dear, she belongs to you and the future......"
The next morning, Wang Chunqing came to see off Dahong and asked, "Dahong, where is Huamei?" "Something may not be coming." What did she want to say, Li Zhe and several classmates walked into the courtyard, Dahong greeted him into the hall, Li Zhe joked: "Dahong, why don't you see your guests?" "All the gods and immortals have arrived." "No, no, no, Huamei and Liu Biqiong, the two people who should come the most, can't see a shadow."
On this day, Liu Biqiong had no intention of dressing up, and saw off Zhou Zhibin in her usual attire. But he was still very excited: "Biqiong, we have been engaged for almost half a year, and you haven't talked properly." Tomorrow will be separated, do you have anything to say to me? "Nothing in particular, the conditions of the troops are much better than the localities. If I recruit female soldiers, I will go too. Zhou Zhibin was very embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "This time, the sky is different, when we will meet, no one can say." You don't care? "Zhou Zhibin, you are a man, why are you like a woman dragging mud and water?"
Hua Mei was anxiously working in the team, and her mind was confused with reason and feelings: "Tomorrow morning, Dahong will set off for the northwest, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the world is unpredictable. This today and tomorrow may be the parting of life and death. He came to say goodbye last night, didn't I dare risk seeing him off? If you sweep the floor and go out because of this, then learn from Jiang Lilian to break through the rivers and lakes. ”
Hua Mei hurried home from work and whispered to her mother, "Mom, I have something to find Li Weiwei." Hua Mei's mother glared at her and said, "Alas, you don't blink when you have a knife on your neck." "Mom......" "Mom can remind you, don't forget your last name as soon as your brain is hot."
Da Hung cleaned up his things in the room, opened the embroidered silk stained with their blood and looked at it, then folded it and clipped it into his poetry collection "Flower Laughing Magpie Singing Branches" from the box and took out the last pair of insoles that Ju Xiang made for him before leaving, shook his head helplessly after pondering for a while, put it in his pocket and quietly went out of the house.
Under the yellow cypress tree of Dahong Station, the sparse weeds have dead leaves and broken stems, and the north wind trembles and shakes; I faintly heard the children's song in my ears: "The moon bends like a bright boat, and the yellow cypress tree is like a big umbrella." The younger sister held the umbrella, and the elder brother held the boat, and rowed all the way to the sky to see if the days of the gods were different......"
Dahong stood next to the courtyard of Juxiang's house, the blind baby's yard was braided in his back pocket, Li De sat on the threshold of the hall and dozed off, the fence was wrapped with withered vines, and the north wind rustled. He hoped that the old scene would be repeated, and imitating a bird's call, Juxiang flew out of the door of the hall......
Da Hong couldn't help but let out a bird's call, the blind baby braided his back pocket as usual, Li De was still dozing, and it was impossible for the chrysanthemum to fly out of the door of the hall, only the dog lying on the edge of the steps raised his head lazily, opened his eyes and shook listlessly and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Dahong let out a long sigh and climbed through the bamboo forest path to the back mountain bag. The mountain bag has been eroded by the wind and rain over the years, and has become a slope like a fish's back, tired and old under the sunset. The perfect dream on the bamboo mat has brought the long years far away.
Dahong dragged his heavy steps to the grave of Juxiang, the grave was desolate and lonely under the reflection of the setting sun, and the deep withered grass was whining and crying in the north wind. Dahong's eyes became blurred: "Juxiang, I'm really incompetent!" I remember that before you left, you thought about being a matchmaker for me and Huamei, and tomorrow I will stay away from this yellow earth to serve as a soldier in the northwest, and I will say goodbye to you on behalf of Huamei. ”
Dahong dug a pit in front of the grave with his hands, felt out the pair of insoles and put them inside, and buried them with soil one by one.
Frozen memories, why did you wake up from thawing? Can the years go backwards? Walking with expectations and dreams is the ultimate in life? Leaving regrets and returning with sorrow, is it the end of a red dust? The eyes are full of withered grass and miserable, who is crying secretly?
Da Hong went home and saw Hua Mei Wang Chunqing washing vegetables at the door of the kitchen house, and looked at her in surprise. Wenzhi Shulin Hongzhong walked happily and frolicked with Dahong.
