The autumn sun adorns the small Xing'an farm.

The small barren forest behind the guest house that was decorated in the gentle autumn sun highlighted her elegance and pride. The slightly cool autumn breeze blows gently, the leaves of poplars, birches and willows gradually change color, the wild roses, lilies, and peonies in the woodland bloom to the last stubble, and small chrysanthemums bloom vigorously, absorbing the soft sun and the wind's preference for them.

Since Magnolia became the director of the guest house, in the field living area with a radius of more than ten square kilometers, what she appreciated most was the quiet and rugged small barren forest behind the house. She once led Zheng Fenghua here to snuggle under the old poplar tree and pour out her love. When she was depressed, she let the branches and leaves scratch her face, walked around alone, and had a few sleepless nights to pass the time here. It was also in this place that she played a fake scene of falling in love with Xiao Luo without telling Xiao Luo, and handed Zheng Fenghua a silent and wordless love letter......

How did she know that after Wang Suda's murder of female intellectuals and her idea of beating her was exposed, Wang Da was stunned and arranged for her to go to the guest house he was in charge of still having ulterior motives, in order to make up his mind for his son Wang Mingming after provoking and stirring up the love relationship between Huang Bai Yulan and Zheng Fenghua. Wang Da was stunned and always felt that there was such a possibility, whether it was rape, or squatting on the fence for a few years, she Magnolia always gave birth to a child for the Wang family, and so far, they still secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the child from time to time, but there is no ending, but the idea of beating Magnolia has not been given up.

She has been the director of the guest house for more than three years, and her busy work has honed her talent for managing the small family business of the farm.

She finished the waiter's pre-shift meeting, arranged the day's work, personally inspected the small canteen and guest room, and then used the seat cushion to put a stack of books and scrolls, and quietly slipped into the small barren forest under the old poplar tree by the river, and sat down with her back against the trunk.

This pile of books is all the textbooks she asked her mother to mail when she was in high school. She has made a review plan and is ready to review the lessons she has learned from beginning to end. Because the Education Section has officially conveyed the spirit of the National Enrollment Conference and the specific enrollment methods of colleges and universities, it is clearly stipulated that the "old three" rural educated youths are allowed to apply for the examination, and an appropriate number of married rural intellectuals are allowed to apply for the examination, and the principles of free competition, comprehensive evaluation of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, and merit-based admission are implemented. The main methods are voluntary registration, unified examination, local primary selection, school admission, and approval by provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. This has completely abolished the method of selecting college students from among the workers, peasants, and soldiers, without examination, voluntary registration, recommendation by the masses, approval by the leadership, and review by the school, and has basically restored the previous enrollment system of the *****, which will mainly depend on examination results after meeting some basic conditions of its own. She was very interested in this, and she was full of confidence, after listening to the transmission document, and seeing the set of old high school textbooks sent by her mother, a new concept of time and space seemed to cross the bridge of time and space in the countryside for more than nine years, and today and the eve of high school graduation were suddenly connected. With the sound of ***** cannon, the notice of the State Council on the postponement of the entrance examination for colleges and universities for half a year came on the radio, and this sudden news shocked the students, and some of the students who were politically escorted and studying were crying, and some were so sad that they could not eat. Wait, wait, wait, the ***** intensified, and when the workers, peasants, and soldiers occupied the university stage, the thick calluses on their hands became a sign of whether they could go to university...... Now, how excited she is with the new admissions system!

She started with the first Chinese textbook in her first year of high school, and after reading it hurriedly, she turned to Chinese history, world history, mathematics, geometry and other textbooks, so familiar, so familiar, so familiar, the grammar and rhetoric, especially those classic ancient texts, can still be memorized after a few times, as well as the reasons and significance of the May Fourth Movement and the World War...... The things that I memorized back then, as soon as I touched them, my mind was like a piece of lead plate in a printing house, and the imprint was still fresh. As long as you can review the last time carefully, you can walk into the examination room with the confidence of victory like fighting a battle with certainty......

She started with the first volume of Chinese and reviewed it carefully, and unconsciously the prelude to the radio station of the field department sounded, followed by the crisp and melodious voice of the announcer: "Xiaoxing'an Farm Radio Station, it is time for the noon news program in the venue......"

As soon as the radio sounded, it was the time for the agency to get off work, Magnolia looked at her watch, it was exactly half past eleven, and she was just about to get up to eat, remembering that there were many people queuing up in the cafeteria, so she simply went to the toilet and came back to review for half an hour. She walked out of the small barren forest, and the news came on the radio that attracted attention: "...... Now broadcast the oath written by Yuan Dacang, the platoon commander of the three teams of educated youth, and Tian Ye to the party committee of the field to take root in the Great Northern Wilderness. Dear Party Committee: At the critical moment when the vast number of cadres, workers and their families set off an upsurge in the construction of Dazhai-style farms, there was a demonic wind blowing in the field, some of them secretly organized to write a petition to return to the city, and some of them deceived by unscrupulous means...... It's tolerable, it's unbearable......"

She didn't want to listen to it anymore, and guessed that Li Jin and Yuan Dacang had a fierce dispute, so she quickened her pace and went into the toilet.

There was a loud burst of laughter in front of the office building, which was the cadres of the agency walking towards the large canteen in the backyard of the office building.

Magnolia quickly returned to the poplar tree in the small barren forest, and was stunned for a moment—there was a brand new lunch box on the seat cushion. She hurriedly bent down and opened it, and a pungent smell of fragrant smell came to her face, two-thirds of the lunch box was steaming rice, one-third was mushu meat, and a small stainless steel spoon was flat on it.

Who put it? She looked around and saw no one, thinking that the food delivery person was hiding behind a tree and playing hide and seek with her, shouting a few times but no one answered, and she still saw no one on the left and right sides of the patrol. After a turn in his mind, he concluded that Xiao Luo sent it, and he just likes to play hide and seek! So, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, I ate sweetly against the trunk of the tree. Suddenly stopped after taking a bite, it couldn't be Zheng Fenghua, right? No, it can't be, isn't it the sisters of the guest house? No, it's not, it's not a big pot of rice in the canteen, only people with families can make it, it must be Xiao Luo! The young couple just got married, this is to let themselves share the joy of their newlywed family, knowing that they are racing against time to review, and they are embarrassed to disturb. As soon as he came, he had a chatter, and as soon as he came, it was endless, yes, how could he have set a trap last time without Xiao Luo's knowledge and stimulated Zheng Fenghua fiercely? If Xiao Luo knew that he wanted to stimulate Zheng Fenghua, he would be stubborn and refused. She can only do this kind of thing with Xiao Luo. After she became the director of the guest house, with Wang Su's defilement, with Wang Da's conspiracy, she was depressed, and she had nowhere to tell when she was depressed. Through several accidental encounters and conversations with Xiao Luo, they gradually deepened their feelings and trusted each other, just like sisters and brothers. Speaking of which, this was the fate of eight years ago. It was noon in the busy season of summer hoeing, and Xiao Luo accompanied the reporter of "Beidahuang Daily" as the director of the field radio station to interview Wang Datun how to go deep into the front line of Xia hoe to participate in production and command production according to the clues provided by Wang Su. Unexpectedly, when Bai Yulan, who had just been transferred to the company on duty, led the way to Wang Da's house, she made Wang Da, who was sleeping soundly with curtains, lose his ugliness, and the positive model became negative, and the news photo with text angered Wang Su after seeing the newspaper, blaming Xiao Luo for not playing a good role and revoking his position as the director of the radio station, and sending him to the main factory repair factory as a worker. For this reason, Magnolia has always been embarrassed, but Xiao Luo always said that there is nothing to ...... If they don't get along, Xiao Luo will not walk with her unsuspectingly and step into the small barren forest and be stimulated by Magnolia's skillful use of Zheng Fenghua. Xiao Luo was going to explain to Zheng Fenghua that Magnolia would not let her live or die.

After the meal, I reviewed for a while, and when Magnolia took the cleaned lunch box to Xiao Luo's house to return it, Xiao Luo and his wife were baffled. Xiao Luo judged that people must know that Magnolia and Zheng Fenghua had broken up, and which young man was secretly revealing his heart to her.

These words caused Magnolia to think deeply and wonder, and the dispatch department had not found any signs of courtship for her for several years. Who would? As a sensational news figure in the audience, who doesn't know that he was raped by Wang Da's son, and who doesn't know that he went back to the city to give birth to a son and abandoned it...... Zheng Fenghua is definitely not. In order to cut through the mess quickly, get rid of this kind of broken relationship as soon as possible, abandon his face-saving love, how many painful sleepless nights have he stayed up, from the moment he decided to borrow Xiao Luo to act in that fake play, he began to improve himself from the sadness and self-improvement, even if there was a little memory of the sad past in his mind, for fear that it would infiltrate and expand, he restrained himself with a strong restraint method, and immediately went to run desperately, running, running, until he was exhausted, and he fell asleep without caring about anything as soon as he got out of bed. Even at night. She claimed that it was a great invention of Turin to restrain the pain of the mind than any medicine. And during the day, it's hard work. In this way, she rejected the three major pains: the pain of being strongly concerned about the abandoned baby every time she returned to the city to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, and the pain of asking questions without any news; the pain of judging that Zheng Fenghua broke off his connection with himself and hooked up with others; Suppresses the pain of no longer seeking love and numbing the senses of love. She devoted all her energy to managing the guest house well and became a model worker at the field level. Since then, she has become carefree and open-minded, and the god of freedom is with her day and night.

Even if it is really as Xiao Luo and his wife guessed, Magnolia will not be tempted, no matter how wishful the young man is! She wants to go to university, and she wants to fulfill her long-cherished wish and start over with her new life and pursuits.

But this lunch box is a mystery after all.

The next day, when the radio station horn sounded the prelude, she got up again and walked towards the toilet.

The warm and cool autumn breeze blows from the tips of the trees, and the green leaves begin to turn yellow from the tips of the leaves, gradually spreading to the edge of the leaves, to the center of the leaves, the more yellow the faster. The weather in the Great Northern Wilderness is sometimes strange, maybe one day a cold snap will pass by, and before the leaves turn yellow, they will fall into the ground.

Magnolia walked to the side of the road, suddenly turned around, hid behind an old elm tree, and looked through the dense branches and leaves of the small barren forest, only to see a figure flash from the back door of the guest house, like a thief, tiptoeing towards the big poplar tree, as soon as he entered the forest, he took a big stride, stepped on the artemisia grass, and touched the leaves of the trees.

Yes? It's him? Wang Mingming?

Magnolia's head "buzzed", like a swarm of bees suddenly flew out, and her eyes turned black for a while, and then a string of golden flowers flew out of it. She calmed herself and rubbed her eyes, then looked closer. It's him, it's him. About a month ago, I heard the third team of people who came to the field department to do business and stay, saying that he had come back from prison, and he didn't mind, and the resentment disappeared in his mind in a flash. I really didn't expect him to find this place with a dead face. When she looked closely, Wang Mingming had already walked under the big poplar tree and put a lunch box, and the scene from eight years ago flashed in her mind. It was a day of the summer hoe battle, and his relationship with Zheng Fenghua had become public and publicized, and he also secretly sent scallion pancakes to his Tianyuan resting place, and now he secretly sent rice, which is really unchanged......

She walked a few steps forward into the small wasteland, two angry eyes stared at Wang Mingming with fire, the moment he put down the lunch box and got together, the pair of small eyes and the wrinkled face were so familiar, and the vicious wolf-like posture when he was raped flashed in his mind. For several years, forcibly controlling and cultivating the calm mind and forgetting the pain has made his occasional appearance stir upset.

Wang Mingming looked at the front and back, left and right, put a lunch box on the seat cushion under the big poplar tree, and turned around quickly to leave.

"Stop—stay—"

Magnolia shouted angrily and rushed forward, ignoring the stumbling of the artemisia trees on her feet, and the hanging of the branches, she made a hula sound in the small barren forest.

Wang Mingming turned his head to see that it was a white magnolia, and when he heard the discussion and imagined, the white magnolia should be like a frosted seedling, how could it be like a tiger? The shouts were like thunderbolts, like thunderbolts exploding overhead. He was frightened, his heart beat faster, his legs were as weak as wicker, and he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried.

A gentle breeze blew, and a few leaves fell.

Magnolia ran and chased, and saw that Wang Mingming had come out of the small barren forest, so he picked up a half-pulled brick, and with a "whoosh" sound, the brick rubbed against the back of Wang Mingming's head and landed on his right heel that he had raised by running. He said "hey-yo-" and squatted in pain and touched the wound, limped up, and when he looked back, Magnolia was holding a large handful of wicker in her hand and chased after her like crazy.

Finally running out of the small barren forest, he turned over the gable of the guest house, turned diagonally through the main entrance of the guest house and went up a small hairy road, and ran towards the bus stop. The footsteps of the relentless pursuit are getting closer and closer, and the "croaking" sound in the ears is so terrible, it is like a ** explosion rolling on the ground.

"Do you want to stand?" Magnolia was just one step away from catching up with him, shouting angrily, raising the willow strip and jerking it at his head, "Oops-" screams accompanied by falling willow leaves flying from the top of his head.

Wang Mingming covered his head with both hands, stepped out of his left leg, his right leg hit straight up, his ankle hurt and twisted his tendons, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

"I didn't hit you eight years ago, and how hard I have been after that, but I just didn't run into you! It's delivered to the door today......" Magnolia gasped, gritted her teeth, shrugged her shoulders, and lifted the wicker high twice.

"Rao-life-ah, help-life-ah-" Wang Mingming held his head with his hands for a while, covered his face for a while, dodged left and right, and didn't dodge at all. The branches are pulled off, and the broken leaves are scattered.

The cry alarmed the passers-by at the guest house, and they gathered them in a circle.

Chen Danya could see through the glass in the guest house room, and she got into the circle of people, and asked panting: "Sister Yulan, what's the matter, this guy has a beastly attack again?" ”

She regretted that she was young and fearful of the leader at that time, and lost her life to become a cashier in the financial department, and continued to be ashamed to meet acquaintances in that position, and asked to come to the guest house as a cashier. Year after year, she gradually matured and became self-reliant, regretting the past, and hating Wang Su and Wang Da stunned even more.

Yang Lili came to the guest house to visit the guests, and after getting close to the circle of people to see it, she remembered that she was despised by Wang Mingming when she pursued Wang Mingming with a dead face, and the jealousy eight years ago turned into anger in front of her: "Sister Yulan, I think you are tolerant enough." ”

When Magnolia raised the wicker again, she was grabbed by the hand stretched out behind her: "Stop! ”

She looked back and saw that it was Zhang Xiaohong.

"Changchang Zhang, Changchang Zhang," Wang Mingming hugged one of Zhang Xiaohong's legs and raised his face, "You call the shots for me, she...... For no reason...... Hit ...... for no reason People ......"

Zhang Xiaohong asked Magnolia: "Is that so?" After he asked, he regretted it a little, feeling that this question was very imstrict.

"What do you say?" Magnolia raised her eyebrows and asked slyly.

"Oh......" Zhang Xiaohong was a little embarrassed, "I understand, you are the old hate, the new newspaper, right?" ”

Magnolia Bailing Zhang Xiaohong glanced at it, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, without answering.

In order to relieve her embarrassment, Zhang Xiaohong avoided Bai Yulan's gaze and asked Wang Mingming: "Bai Yulan will never chase you when she sees you on the avenue, right?" He doesn't have much affection for Magnolia anymore, especially the matter between her and Zheng Fenghua, which is simply stubborn and excessive, or pretentious, or messing around. A girl who has been raped, and has given birth to a child, as long as the other party doesn't say let go, even if it is a little interesting, she should take the initiative to fight for the other party, but she is pretending to be high on the side!

She ...... In the small wilderness forest...... review homework," Wang Mingming stammered a little, seeing Zhang Xiaohong getting bold, besides, there were so many people watching, so he wouldn't be beaten by her again, and his voice was louder, "I'll send her rice, don't do it, don't beat people!" "It's very aggrieved.

Zhang Xiaohong asked: "You don't behave unruly?" ”

"Nope."

"No?" Magnolia looked furious, "You have a dead face, you don't have any good intestines...... "As she said that, she raised the wicker and was about to hit again, but was dragged by the onlookers.

Wang Mingming also came to the heart: "Dead skin? You still eat what I gave you yesterday! ”

The onlookers burst into laughter.

"You-" Magnolia choked with anger for a long time, "You leper dog, I didn't know you sent it yesterday!" ”

Zhang Xiaohong was a little puzzled: "What the hell is going on with you?" ”

Wang Mingming said, Bai Magnolia also rushed to say, everyone understood it.

Zhang Xiaohong asked Wang Mingming: "What is the purpose of you secretly delivering food to others?" ”

Wang Mingming saw that Zhang Xiaohong could relieve him, and he was grateful for it, so he said the truth: "Some people say that we both have children, and she and Zheng Fenghua have also collapsed, as long as I am more attentive, she will marry my ......"

The onlookers began to discuss:

"What a shame!"

"Rape can still rape a wife?"

"I thought it was the Wang family (Wang Su, Wang Daleng) who dominated the world of Xiaoxing'an Farm!"

……

"You-" Magnolia's face turned blue and purple with anger, "what kind of feces are you spewing all over your mouth?" You ......" She raised her hand to fight again, but was dragged by Zhang Xiaohong:

"Wang obviously committed a crime against you, but he has already been punished by the laws of the country and sentenced to seven years of labor reform. He has this idea is his, and if you ignore him, it's over! ”

"You say it easily!" Magnolia pointed her anger at Zhang Xiaohong, "Seven years of labor reform? Can seven years of re-education through labor make up for the physical and mental devastation I have caused? I know that you and Wang Da are wearing a pair of pants, you, you are hiding...... Hide...... ......" she pushed Zhang Xiaohong away desperately, and when she raised the wicker in her hand, she found that Wang Mingming was gone, and when she looked at the crowd, he was running away like a rabbit, she pointed to Wang Mingming's figure and shouted: "Sooner or later, I will take this breath, run, you ran away monk and ran to the temple......"

Wang Ming ran without looking back.
