Chapter 33: Going to the Countryside

More than 60 years ago, Zhang Rongze was not yet born, and his grandfather was still a hot-blooded hairy boy at that time.

In 1955, the chairman proposed that "the countryside is a vast world, where great achievements can be made." Later, this sentence also became a slogan for intellectual youth to go to the mountains and go to the countryside. And the ancestors of the Jiang family and his grandfather are also one of the educated youths in the countryside.

Li Minggang's grandfather, Jiang Kaiyang's father, his real name is Jiang Liang. Under the influence of the policies of the time, a large number of young intellectuals left the cities to settle and work in the countryside. Jiang Liang and Zhang Weimin, the old man of the Zhang family, are no exception.

After coming to Dongping Village, the two settled down here, and Zhang Weimin married a woman in the village and became a family, completely rooted here. As for Jiang Liang, at that time, among the group of educated youths in the countryside, he was the most handsome, and many of his female comrades-in-arms secretly agreed to him, and there were not a few girls in the village who wanted to marry him.

After all, the other party is polite and talented, and he is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is really the best husband that women dream of.

"Brother Zhang, your grandfather and the ancestors of the Jiang family are both educated youth comrades-in-arms?" Wang Yichen was quite surprised.

"Yes, because of that incident, Jiang Liang left Dongping Village. And this past is also when my grandfather was drunk when I was young and confided in my father, I overheard it on the side. Zhang Rongze said: "As for that woman, she is not a native of Dongping Village. ”

"You continue." Wang Yichen decided not to interrupt the other party again, and listened to Zhang Rongze first.

At that time, Jiang Liang's own conditions were very good, and his personality was a little perverse, and he did not go to the countryside out of his own will, and he was somewhat "forced".

When I came to Dongping Village, although they were the educated youths of the Production and Construction Corps at that time, they were nominally soldiers of the Corps, living a semi-militarized collective life, and they still had a meager salary to get.

But Jiang Liang was still dissatisfied with the status quo, and he didn't want to be recruited to return to the city all the time.

As an educated youth of the Production and Construction Corps, such an opportunity is almost impossible. Unless you have a background, you can only take root in the countryside for the rest of your life.

A few years ago, he was still arrogant and unwilling to settle down here, for fear of missing the opportunity to return to the city. But as time passed, Jiang Liang slowly recognized the status quo and began to try to accept the reality.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show too much dissatisfaction on his face, he had to have a good relationship with his comrades and villagers here, except for his personality and some arrogance, in fact, Jiang Liang was a good young man. And Zhang Weimin was also his closest friend back then.

"You are also a big man, we went to the countryside together, and now my son is three years old, and you haven't started a family yet. Listen to my brother, find a suitable marriage. I think Xiao Li is good, not only good-looking, but also highly conscious, and hard-working. The most important thing is that even fools can see that people are interested in you. Now there are not many female comrades with good conditions like her, you have to take good advantage of it. Zhang Weimin said bitterly.

However, Jiang Liang just took a sip of wine and shook his head with a smile: "Li Yufen is indeed a good comrade, but I don't like her. ”

Regarding love, Jiang Liang has his own set of standards, and the woman he really likes has not yet appeared. Although Zhang Weimin and others persuaded him many times, the other party never took their words to heart, but just said that fate had arrived, and he would act without being persuaded by others.

Later, as he said, things began to take a turn for the better.

That year, in order to commend everyone's hard work, the boss specially invited a famous opera troupe from a nearby county to come to Dongping Village to sing a big opera for everyone.

When I went to the countryside, the cultural life in the countryside was quite poor. In villages with better conditions, you can still watch a few movies throughout the year, but in Dongping Village, everyone's entertainment can only be to listen to the radio at night, and nothing else.

Therefore, after hearing that there was an opera troupe performing in the countryside, almost all the educated youths in the village arrived.

It was at that time that Jiang Liang met the woman he fell in love with at first sight.

The woman was also in her twenties, she grew up studying opera in the opera troupe, and she was a well-known Peking Opera singer and the pillar of the opera troupe. Her name is Qiu Bailing, as her name suggests, her voice is sweet, and her appearance is fresh and refined, beautiful and moving.

She sang on stage, and the eyes of the young men in the audience never took their eyes off her, and Jiang Liang was no exception. He fell in love with this glamorous celebrity at first sight, and at that time, the troupe had to stay in Dongping Village for a whole month, and during this month, Jiang Liang tried his best to get close to each other, and finally made the beauty secretly agree.

They often carry other people behind their backs to trysts in the dense forest, and their love is deep, and they are even more secretly knotted.

Qiu Bailing is an orphan picked up by the class owner, and the old class owner treats her as half a daughter to raise. Hearing that she fell in love with this poor young man and insisted on leaving the troupe and starting a family with him, Qiu Mubai was almost half angry.

But in the end, he couldn't stand Qiu Bailing's pleading, and the other party took out all the savings in the troupe over the years.

In this way, Qiu Bailing was no longer the gorgeous and glamorous Peking Opera celebrity, she married Jiang Liang, who had nothing at the time, and turned into an ordinary peasant woman, and the two got married in Dongping Village and officially took root.

Although the young couple lived a poor life, they were very loving. Not long after getting married, Qiu Bailing was pregnant with Jiang Liang's child.

She thought that she would give up everything to follow the other party, and the life she got in exchange for was happy and worthwhile, and even Jiang Liang thought so.

Soon, however, a woman appeared, breaking their ordinary life.

The female intellectual, Li Yufen, whom Zhang Weimin mentioned two years ago, suddenly received a notice to be transferred back to the county. The notice said that in another half a year, she would be able to leave Dongping Village and return to work in Qixia Town. If she gets married in Dongping Village, then her husband can also be transferred back with her.

Later, everyone learned that Li Yufen's family had some background, and his parents spent a lot of means to get someone to get a relationship and transfer her back to Qixia Town.

After learning the news, Jiang Liang was stunned.

That night, he [31 update fast] drank a lot of wine with Zhang Weimin, and after getting drunk, he also confided in the other party: "Lao Zhang, I knew that I should really listen to you and marry Li Yufen." In that case, we will be able to go back to the county together...... I regret it! ”

Zhang Weimin comforted him a few words: "What you said, isn't Bailing good?" How can you say that someone who gave up everything to follow you, and is now pregnant with your child? Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, I advise you to die of this heart and live honestly. ”

Later, my grandfather said that he and Jiang Liang drank a lot of wine that night, and the two of them drank until they were unconscious, and when they saw Jiang Liang again the next day, he was no different from usual. At that time, my grandfather didn't think about anything else, he just thought that the other party was dead. But it wasn't until later...... Hey, this matter is my grandfather's knot, he repeatedly talked to my father, saying that he was confused and didn't pay more attention, otherwise there would be no such tragedy in the future......" Zhang Rongze said, extinguishing the cigarette butt.
