The project of splitting the ridge and digging the canal and changing the drought into water is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and the quality and speed are satisfactory.

It seems that the educated youth here are not like the Yunnan written in Xi Chundi's father's letter, accompanied by strikes, petitions in Beijing, and rushing to board the train to return to the city. The turmoil should start, and once it subsides, they will hold back their strength to participate in labor, sweating like rain, as if they are using this to prove that the performance in the turmoil is correct. It is not difficult to conclude that the intellectuals here are asking to return to the city, not only because of the low level of ability and poor management of a considerable number of cadres like in Yunnan, but more importantly, because they have come here since they started to go to the countryside, and they have studied in practice how this movement is a political movement itself, and now it has become a topic of study and discussion by the intellectuals and youth offices in various places. Workshop "Shadow of Terror......

Captain Zhang has been relatively dull these days, he originally thought that he would win by supporting Yuan Dacang in the fierce conflict between Li Jin and Yuan Dacang, and he could also shake his prestige, but he didn't expect to be mixed with a Wang Da stunned ghost mysteriously making a flyer, which complicated his psychology: who doesn't know that the names Wang Su and Wang Da are stinky in Xiaoxing'an Farm, and he and Wang Da are hanging on the sidelines, if he talks too much, it will give people an impression, it is mixed with Wang Da and manipulated one faction to attack the other. What is fragrant in people's hearts will also be regarded as smelly. However, he always had a premonition in his heart that the wind blowing back to the city would definitely fail, and it was a big deal to leave some of them, and most of them would have to stay here for a lifetime, and he might have a chance to dominate here, because Zheng Fenghua was decided, so he didn't care about what he criticized. Don't look at Secretary Xiao's criticism of giving Huang Xiaomin's fake retreat to the city the first green light, he is magnanimous, he doesn't care about gains and losses, doesn't care about the past, thinking about it, he has another confidence.

"Fenghua," Captain Zhang wiped his sweat, threw away the pickaxe and walked out of the trench to Zheng Fenghua, pinching his waist with his hands, looking at the crowd of people fighting, looking up at the stormy sky and saying, "I don't know what happened to the small coal mine?" Let's take a look. He was worried that production there would be affected, and Pan Xiaobiao also signed the letter of return to the city, and the small coal mine was the pearl of Secretary Xiao's palm.

"Okay," Zheng Fenghua jumped out of the ditch, wiping his sweat and promised, "I just wanted to go and have a look." ”

As soon as the two of them got on the road, Captain Zhang said, "I have something on my mind and want to ask you to do the work." ”

"Say it," Zheng Fenghua picked up the towel and let a pleasant cool breeze blow, "Listen to the comrades in the admissions office, my test results may be good, it seems that there is a great possibility of leaving here, if you have something to say as soon as possible, I will do a good job of the work that needs to be done." ”

"Pan Xiaobiao has been on the farm for more than nine years, and he has really become a good person, and from this point of view, the farm is really exercising people......" Captain Zhang said after admiring it, "Now, this small coal mine is really inseparable from him, do ideological work, let him do it here." ”

Zheng Fenghua felt a little cold on his body, and said while buttoning the buttons: "I have done a lot of his ideological work, and I heard that he also signed the signed letter from Li Jin, and I am also worried about this career." That day, the two of us talked for half a night, and I elaborated on some of my thoughts, thinking that it would be better for him to play a role here when he returned to the city, and it was difficult to say that he could become the director of such a small coal mine with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons for a while. Now the coal mine excavation, coal mining, explosion protection, ventilation ...... He was more proficient than me, and finally he said he could stay, and he was a little hesitant to sign it. ”

"That's great," Captain Zhang's criticism of Zheng Fenghua still has a little prejudice in his heart, for his university entrance examination, he not only hopes that he will go, but also feels that he is selfish, and his prestige is low in his heart, this remark looks at Zheng Fenghua from a low place, "In this way, I will be relieved." ”

Zheng Fenghua said the words that had been swirling in his heart a few times: "I shouldn't have said this to you so directly, it seems that I should still say it to you, and it is better to say it to you as soon as possible." Pan Xiaobiao and several deputy mine managers have some opinions about how eager you want to output, and it is not good to tell you directly. Coal mines must adhere to the guiding ideology of safety first, and the tunnels are getting deeper and deeper, and they are no longer shallower than in the past. There has never been a major accident here, so you don't know what the lesson is, I grew up in the mining area, and I have seen many, many ......" Zheng Fenghua walked silently for a while and said, "Although the small coal mine is a unit directly under the head office, it is still handed over to our three teams to manage, whether I leave or not, I should give you an explanation." As far as I know, you haven't been down the well yet, so you should go down and have a look, and understand the situation before you can direct production. At the beginning of the first well, the inclination of the vertical shaft has reached 30 degrees, the oblique length is more than 600 meters, and the absolute gas gushing volume is 0.83 cubic meters / min, so the relative gushing is 17.64 cubic meters / min, which is already a high gas well......

"Fenghua," Captain Zhang trembled when he heard this, he had never seen a gas explosion, but he had seen the movie "Liaoyuan", "You ......"

He was very conflicted and knew nothing about the mining process and safety precautions of the small coal mine, but he knew that the small coal mine had brought benefits and reputation to the third team and the small Xing'an farm, and it was also potentially dangerous. Zheng Fenghua is really gone, no matter whether he takes over as secretary or not, as long as he stays in the third team, the responsibility of leading the small coal mine is his. As soon as Zheng Fenghua left, Pan Xiaobiao didn't leave, but if he left, it would be difficult. He regretted that he did not pay attention to the safety and mining of the small coal mine at the beginning, and it was all up to Zheng Fenghua. He felt the preciousness of these educated youths for a while, and wanted to say, "Fenghua, can you not leave?" "But I was very conflicted, very contradictory.

"Captain Zhang, do you think I'm really willing to go?" Zheng Fenghua guessed his thoughts, "I have talked to Secretary Xiao about this issue, and I have talked about it for a long time. Two nights before I decided to apply for the university entrance examination, my heart was about to break for two whole nights, the first night I didn't close my eyes all night, the next night I took a nap with my clothes, and a person who couldn't smoke smoked two full boxes of cigarettes, and almost passed out. You may not know, what kind of mood is this? I have to take the lead in repairing the terraces, what kind of terraces should the mountains at the end of the country repair? How many wastelands are there that haven't been opened...... I can't sweat and bleed and do things I don't want to do! ”

Captain Zhang had never seen Zheng Fenghua so excited, his cheeks trembled, his language trembled, and he pursed his lips vigorously when he stopped talking, as if he was about to crush his teeth. Although he was very conflicted in his heart, it was for this reason that he was willing to let Zheng Fenghua go, and he could take the opportunity of this farm bureau to build the third team into a Dazhai-style production team to do a career, so as to build himself. After a short period of inner conflict, his heart calmed down a little, and he avoided the question that Zheng Fenghua said: "Yes, let's go, I may be more productive after graduating from college, besides, I am thirty years old and I haven't married yet......"

Zheng Fenghua used the title to become angry: "The person I love is ...... on this land" He looked at the chicken coop not far away and said, "I was raped by a scoundrel, and I was almost toyed with by Wang Su again......"

Captain Zhang changed to a gentle tone: "Fenghua, I was just about to ask you, what is the relationship between you and Magnolia?" ”

Zheng Fenghua raised his face and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again, looked at the front of him and said: "This is a land I love, and it is also a place that destroys my pure love." In the past ten years, there have been gains and losses, and it should be said that there are more than losses, but I just can't balance psychologically! He sighed and sighed, "If you say that you want to return to the city, even if you meet the conditions for retiring from illness and illness, I can't do it." Sleepy, no matter how difficult it is, it can be overcome; Sickness, as long as there is a point of heat, it will emit a point of light, and it should obey the call of the party. Some people may not believe it when I say this, after graduating from college, if the farm needs me, I can apply to come back, four years, but it is four years of college life, I really need to take the opportunity to study and sit down and reflect on myself, reflect on my thoughts, reflect on the practice of going to the countryside, and reflect on love......"

As the day dawned on the afternoon, the sun could not show its due radiant heat energy, and was obscured by patches and flowing clouds, so warm and gloomy. Xiao Xing'an Farm has gradually shrunk from the golden autumn, the ground is shining, the branches are bare, lying quietly under the bleak autumn wind, as if helpless waiting for the first winter snow to come with the harsh winter.

Captain Zhang was about to say something, when Zheng Fenghua suddenly found that there seemed to be several young women on the farmland road not far from the chicken coop in front of him who were shouting around the whip-wielding boss, and their voices were rapid and sharp, as if they were about to fight.

"Look, what's going on?"

"It's not good," Captain Zhang dragged Zheng Fenghua, "If you want to make trouble, go over and take a look!" ”

They trotted away.

Zheng Fenghua ran ahead. When he was about to get to the front, he was surprised to find that one of the young women was Magnolia, yes, Magnolia! There is also Fang Liying, a worker, peasant and soldier college student who returned to the scene, another is Magnolia's good friend Hao Yujie, and a handsome young woman who is neat and simple, oh, it is Wang Mingming's new daughter-in-law, a few days ago I heard that Wang Mingming asked someone to marry a girl from Shandong, and it was Wang Mingming who held the whip.

Zheng Fenghua hurried forward, listening carefully to what they were arguing about.

……

"The road is narrow!" Magnolia tore the whip that Wang Mingming's hands clenched, and shouted hysterically, "Before I leave the farm, I have to teach you a lesson to relieve your hatred......

Wang Mingming's face turned pale, he clutched the whip hard, stammered, secretly looked at his new daughter-in-law, and rushed to Bai Yulan: "You...... You rely on ...... Miscellaneous...... What kind of bullying ...... People ......"

"Smack! Syllable! Hao Yujie saw that Magnolia couldn't do it in front of him, and he jumped into his heart with anger, and slapped Wang Mingming's right cheek from the side, "I also helped Sister Yulan vent!" ”

"Hit someone, beat someone......" Wang Mingming's new daughter-in-law shouted in a thick Shandong accent, a little panicked, full of inexplicability, pushing Magnolia couldn't push away, just pushed away Hao Yujie, who was pushing Wang Mingming, Fang Liying stepped forward again and aimed at Wang Mingming's left cheek, "Bang!" Syllable! Two more slaps, Magnolia took the opportunity to scratch Wang Mingming's head, and the five of them tore into a ball.

"Why are you beating people?" The new daughter-in-law cried and cried, pulling them and pushing them desperately, "Our car didn't touch it and didn't get in the way of your ......"

"Help—life—ah—" Wang Mingming had a lock of hair cut off and shouted in a frightening voice.

The new daughter-in-law was enraged, panting and shedding tears: "You guys...... It's too ...... to deceive people Extremely...... Female hooligan! ”

She and Wang Mingming had just been married for only a week, and they were introduced to marry from a poor area in Shandong, and they met and got married in a hurry. She looks spicy and stout, full of simplicity and beauty unique to peasant girls, and is also wearing a red silk coat and dark blue pants on the wedding day, which is the same size as Wang Mingming. On the day of the wedding, everyone in the team talked about how they deceived other girls, and flowers were inserted into cow dung!

Seeing that she couldn't pull it open, she didn't listen to it, Wang Mingming was being beaten vigorously, and suddenly turned around and picked up a small bowl as thick as a clamp bar placed on the ox cart, raised it high, stared at her, and warned Bai Yulan, Hao Yujie, and Fang Liying: "If you don't let go, don't listen to me again—death—you—you—you—"

"Stop-hand-" Zheng Fenghua rushed up like a fly, snatched the clamp bar from the new daughter-in-law's hand, and then scolded Bai Yulan and the other three angrily, "Stop it, whoever fights again, I will let the police station arrest her!" ”

Captain Zhang was still more than ten meters away before he angrily reprimanded: "Barbaric! Stop me......"

The fighting and scolding stopped.

Magnolia found out that it was Zheng Fenghua and Captain Zhang who suddenly appeared in front of her.

Zheng Fenghua gasped and understood the general situation without asking.

"Male intellectuals fight and fight, and you female intellectuals are also doing this," Captain Zhang opened his mouth and became angry, "It's like saying, there are field departments, and there are teachers...... You're all going to have to fight cholera? ”

Everyone present was panting, and no one was stubble.

"What the hell is going on?" Captain Zhang asked and threatened, "Big martial arts, small martial arts, deal with you together!" ”

Wang Mingming spoke first: "Captain Zhang, I really didn't mess with them......" He cried with a sad face, pointed to his daughter-in-law and the ox cart and said, "The platoon commander sent me to the chicken coop to deliver feed, and the daughter-in-law stayed at home and was fine, and followed me out to relax." I drove the car well, and they stopped me and hit ......."

"It's not messed with now-" Hao Yujie pinched his waist, like a stunned boy, "You provoked it eight years ago!" She pointed to the back of the chicken coop, and then pointed to Wang Mingming and said, "Your kid is there eight years ago, raped my Sister Yulan, we were originally a happy thing, Sister Yulan received the admission notice, to go to the Dazhai construction site to see her comrades, I didn't expect to meet you here, if you are somewhere else, you may be almost, but you meet in the place where you did evil, the road is narrow, don't beat you to beat anyone, today is to teach you a lesson!" ”

"Ouch," Captain Zhang said complainingly, "Chen Sesame and rotten watermelons are in the past, what's the matter, it's still the old account eight years ago?" ”

"Accounts?" Magnolia suddenly erupted like a volcano of indignation, resentment, and pain that had been pent up for nearly ten years, "You said it well! The past, the past, the past is the past for you, how can I pass, I lost my body, and I gave birth to a child......" She stomped her foot and put her hands away: "How can I pass, how-what-can-"

Zheng Fenghua listened to this voice, as if he wanted to tear his heart apart, his body was weak, his mouth trembled, he wanted to move, he wanted to persuade, he couldn't help it.

The new daughter-in-law was stunned when she listened. It turned out that when Wang Mingming went to the countryside of Shandong on a blind date, he was afraid that it would be a trouble for the sentence to be exposed sooner or later, so he lied, claiming that he had been squatting on the fence for two years because he accidentally caused an accident while driving. As she listened, her face was as purple and purple as a pig's liver, and she trembled with anger, and her body shook and she almost fell over.

"You liar!" The new daughter-in-law tried to calm down and pounced on Wang Mingming, "You, you, you lack eight lifetimes of detrimental virtue, I can't live with you, I can't live with you......" She cried and shouted, grabbed Wang Mingming's arm, "Go, divorce, go ......"

Wang Mingming was as stupid as a wooden chicken, and was dragged by his daughter-in-law to walk towards the team one by one.

"Sister Yulan, let's go!" Hao Yujie made a gesture of chasing him, "I can't let him go, he will be sentenced to labor reform, as soon as I see him, I feel sorry for you, I hate him so much that the roots of my teeth hurt, I have to help you get angry!" ”

Fang Liying and Bai Yulan were just about to follow, but they were stopped by Captain Zhang stretching out his arm: "Okay, okay, let's not say it's Chen Sesame Rotten Watermelon...... You see, the new daughter-in-law has only been married for a week, and she is going to divorce again, which is enough! "Captain Zhang didn't know what to do in the face of three irritable and angry girls, even Zheng Fenghua, the kind of words that let the police station come and detain him could no longer be said.

"Woo woo woo ......" Magnolia tilted her face suddenly, shook her head desperately, and cried and vented, "It's over, my youth and my chastity will never come back!" As she spoke, she collapsed to the ground, her hands slapping violently on the land that had been ravaged here: "Mommy, my mom-mom-where are you?" Do you hear your daughter crying out to you......"

The bleak autumn wind blew a few fallen leaves, swirling around the magnolia, and suddenly a few branches of dead grass were blown by the wind and swept past her.

The desolate and sad cry is sprinkled on the vast bare field, the mountains and rivers and forests, everything is quiet, only the autumn wind rustles as if it is accompanied by non-stop, and the others are listening to the cry of Magnolia, which makes people feel that the sky is raining bitter snow and wind, which is more shocking than the cry when they were suffering here. Perhaps, the childish cry back then was only painful and not sad, after nine years, it was the grief after the heart-wrenching, and the grief that was tormented by the sun and the moon was so chilling and heartbreaking. Under this miserable shroud, the land near this chicken coop has never been so bleak and desolate, a thousand times more desolate than the desolation of wolves and tigers before Wang Da led people to develop......

Fang Liying and Hao Yujie were stunned.

"Magnolia, Magnolia!" Zheng Fenghua finally calmed down, and grabbed her hand that slapped the gravel road, "You stand up, it's cold here, I have something to say to you......"

Seeing that he couldn't exert his power and charisma, Captain Zhang picked up the whip and caught up with the ox cart left by Wang Mingming, and didn't even dare to shout, he stabbed the cow's buttocks with the whip rod, and the ox cart pulling the cow's feed walked slowly towards the chicken coop.

Magnolia cried and slapped the earth many times, but the earth just didn't move, but was slapped with sand in the palm of the hand, and the thin white palm seemed to be covered with small scars, glowing purple, frightening purple.

"Jade-Orchid-Jade-Orchid-" Zheng Fenghua forgot everything, hugged her mournful body tightly, and wanted her to stabilize her, "Why bother, why torture yourself like this!" ”

Fang Liying stabbed Hao Yujie, and the two of them left quietly and walked slowly towards the construction site of Bald Mountain Xuedazhai. Walk and wait, wait and walk, and look back from time to time, not sure if she still visits her friends. They still don't know what the end of Magnolia and Zheng Fenghua's love relationship is, and when they asked her, they said that her love is a cup of bitter wine that is hard to swallow and too hard to swallow, as if it has been ruthless, and it seems to be broken, especially on the way when they didn't meet Wang Mingming, they always whispered to ask Zheng Fenghua something. The two of them, as friends of Magnolia, sincerely hope that Magnolia and Zheng Fenghua will become dependents. The two of them walked far away and looked back, and saw Zheng Fenghua still squatting beside Magnolia crying, so they quietly detoured back to the team.

Zheng Fenghua picked up Magnolia. She sat on the ground and sobbed without raising her eyes, her face was full of tears, her hair was unkempt, her teardrops were falling from sharp to slow, and her chest was full of grief and indignation, and this pale sorrow of her face was more heartbreaking than the grief of crying.

Fallen leaves, withered grass, and soybean leaves flow by from time to time in the autumn wind.

"Magnolia, Magnolia," Zheng Fenghua took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Magnolia snatched it and wiped it herself, sobbing as she wiped.

Zheng Fenghua's eyes were so sad that his eyes were wet. He secretly wiped away his tears, and his heart was so uneasy. This girl who sat in front of her and cried incessantly, where did the image of the elegant and generous singing that shook the valley go? Is it hidden in the shadow of the nine-year streamer, or is it hidden between the mountains, rivers and woodlands?

It was the first time he had seen her cry like that.

"Magnolia, Magnolia," he choked and held her tightly into his arms.

"You get out of the way, get out of the way!" Magnolia calmed down, and her voice was very flat. She looked up at the deceased ox cart, Fang Liying and Hao Yujie, who were gone, lowered her head, and covered her face with her hands, "You made me sober up, what's wrong with me?" What's wrong......"

A thin cloud floated overhead.

Zheng Fenghua also calmed down, and he hadn't seen Magnolia since they met in the examination room. He has been pimpling in his heart after doing the unruly and exposed things in the examination room, and he always wants to talk to her, it seems that there are many topics to talk about this time, just now, I heard Hao Yujie say that she received the admission notice, and after this calm, I was a little relieved in my heart. She's finally been accepted, she's finally accepted!

Magnolia refused to stand up as if she was paralyzed, Zheng Fenghua took a hug from the wheat straw stack on the side of the road and let her sit on, tried her best to smile excitedly and happily, clasped her hand tightly and asked, "Magnolia, what university was admitted?" ”

"Normal University." Her voice was small, but she heard it clearly. At the moment when she answered and raised her eyelids weakly to look at Zheng Fenghua to answer, Zheng Fenghua found that her beloved girl had changed too much. It's been a long, long time since he's had a chance to look at her so closely, she's fat, her face is much rougher, and crow's feet are gently crawling out of the corners of her eyes, are they sad lines? It's a tribulation mark, right? Although it is very thin and thin, it can be seen clearly. This is from the skin, from the heart, she is still two months away from the twenty-seven years old, the age and image are extremely incommensurate, but the beauty of that youth is still hidden in the rough face, fat body, buried in a pair of beautiful eyes......

She is about to leave this land, no matter where she goes, this is also an unforgettable time!

"Magnolia, congratulations, congratulations!" Zheng Fenghua saw that Magnolia no longer rejected him like in the past, curbed the unrest in his heart, hugged her tightly and said, "I heard from the admissions office, my test score is also good, higher than your score." If you can admit it, I'm pretty much the same. Let's start our lives all over again! ”

"Alas," Magnolia sighed, "we are all almost thirty years old, and we are standing at thirty, and I hope that we can let the sadness and unhappiness pass, and then move on to a new life!" She struggled and looked at Zheng Fenghua and said, "Over the years, the encounter has tormented me, and I have wronged you again." Secretary Xiao talked to me for a whole Sunday morning, and told me all the grievances you told him. A few days ago, I learned from Yang Lili's mouth that the love letter found under your pillow was the ghost of Wang Da stunned and asked 'Perfume Pear'. They have been plotting for me to marry Wang Mingming, otherwise, where did they get such a big fire on him just now, and vented all the things that were stunned by Wang, the 'perfume pear', and the ones who were against him. ”

Zheng Fenghua listened and listened, tears fell again, so bitter, so bitter: "Yulan, I really love you, it's true!" ”

"Well," Magnolia nodded, snuggling into Zheng Fenghua's arms, "Now it seems that on the night of the watch, you disliked me too casually, but I thought you were ruthless!" ”

"No, no!" Zheng Fenghua shook his head, "You completely misunderstood. I thought, first, that I shouldn't have done this; The second is that once you get pregnant again, it will bring you more pain! I was completely good to you, but at that time, I was still young and naïve, and I couldn't say anything about this idea of loving you. ”

"I misunderstood, I misunderstood that you wronged you......" Magnolia hugged Zheng Fenghua tightly, "You're too good, you're too good." "The tears could not be stopped any longer.

She burst out of her face with tears in her eyes and looked at Zheng Fenghua, her eyes unblinking.

Zheng Fenghua looked around, and also looked at the white magnolia, the beautiful face like hibiscus overlapped with the one in front of him, it was still so beautiful, so beautiful. Look, the roots of my ears are hot, and my heart is beating faster.

Magnolia slammed her hot lips.

Zheng Fenghua took it gently and hugged Magnolia tightly. It's been eight years, and this is the kiss after falling in love with Magnolia after eight years. The same kiss, at that time there was only sweetness and piping hot, now, in addition to sweetness and piping hot, there is also a kind of love that is as fragrant and rich as wine.

The breeze was blowing......

Fallen leaves slithering around......

Flowing clouds are whirring......

They hugged and kissed for a long, long time. Zheng Fenghua slowly took off, looked at Bai Yulan and said softly: "Look, they are looking at us-"

Fang Liying and Hao Yujie walked around the team, walked to the farmland road parallel to Bai Yulan and Zheng Fenghua's hug, and stopped, wanting to wait for Bai Yulan, once they talked about it, they would continue to go to the construction site to see their partners.

"Hey-" Magnolia stood up and beckoned, "Wait! She got up and ran.

Fang Liying and Hao Yujie ran to catch up.

"Jade-Lan-" Zheng Fenghua waved his hand and shouted, "Come back early, wait for you to have dinner......"

Magnolia ran without looking back.

Zheng Fenghua kept watching them hug each other tightly, turned around and walked towards the chicken coop, and asked Captain Zhang to go to the small coal mine.
