In 1977, China fully resumed the college entrance examination. At that time, Wu Yi was building the water conservancy project headquarters, working as a propaganda report and assistant construction worker, and he was busy interviewing and reporting on the construction site one by one all day long, inspecting the quality of the project, and sometimes he didn't take care of lunch. The teacher wrote to him and asked him to go home to study for the college entrance examination, and he agreed. However, he did not ask for leave. Because he knows: on the construction site, especially in the headquarters, one person is called by several people, and if one person asks for leave, there may be a "shortage" of people in multiple departments. But when the college entrance examination was approaching, Wu Yi decided to take the exam, and this decision was persuaded by the kind words of the command staff. I haven't touched a book for a few years, so I entered the exam room...... So he wrote to his teacher and said that he would go home to review and take the next year's exams when the project was suspended during the rainy season this year. After some time, there was news of "workers, peasants, and soldiers" college students, and Wu Yi later got confirmation through the commune. He worked for four years at the commune's cultural station. The leaders of the production team, the brigade, and the commune all recognized him very much. Whether it is comprehensive quality or doing everything, he is a well-known expert. Moreover, the cadres of the production team, the brigade, and the commune affirmed his achievements many times. In this way, he is not ready to go home and review.

However, before the indicators came down, Yu Wei's father had already taken action. His father was the section chief of a bureau in Jiangcheng. The section chief knows his son's academic performance in school best, and he knows how many pounds and taels his son has, and only evaluates the exam...... Don't miss the opportunity. In order to allow his son to go to university, he has reached out to the commune. On this day, his father called Yu Wei from the collective household. The father and son also spent the night in the commune guest house. After his father left, Yu Wei returned to the house and asked for leave with the captain, went to the member's house to borrow a bicycle, and went back and forth to the commune every day. At first, the householder was very puzzled, and he didn't quite know what he was busy with all day. But the household members gradually found Yu Wei's whereabouts.

At the same time, Ding Zandong heard the news of the workers, peasants and soldiers and college students, and he didn't sleep well all night. The sisters on the same kang listened to Ding Zandong, who was tossing and turning, and said, "Can't sleep?" She wanted to talk to her sister about the happy things. Thinking about it again, three watches in the middle of the night, even if you can't sleep, don't bother others anymore, and you have to go to work tomorrow morning. She wanted to tell Wu Yi what was in her heart, but she couldn't contact him, she didn't know if she could receive the letter, and the phone had to be forwarded through the commune. So, she could only bury her joy and blessings in her heart. However, Yu Wei's abnormal behavior was seen by everyone. Therefore, Ding Zandong was a little more worried. Her comrades-in-arms said that she was cowardly, and asked her to find Wu Yi in the project, and then went to the commune together to talk about it. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Yu Wei disappeared quietly without everyone knowing. Later, the people of the brigade went to the commune for a meeting, and only then did they get accurate news that Yu Wei had gone to university one by one.

Ding Zandong knew that after five thunderbolts, he didn't eat or drink for two consecutive days. The collective household left a sister with her every day. The male householder and the captain said that he reasoned with the secretary of the brigade, but when it came to inheriting the facts, there was no code that could be brought back to him.

Wu Yi does not believe in this fact. Did you really respond to that sentence: tired and bent over, tired and bent legs, it is not as good as a cadre's mouth. He asked the leader of the command to call the commune, and after confirming it, he frowned, kept moving his lips, and after the dullness he could only comfort himself.

Later, the educated youth returned to the city. Wu Yi and Ding Zandong both entered the state-owned factory......

"Zandong," her comrades-in-arms recalled her from memory: "Let the boss be infected for so many years, there should be two sentences." ”

She froze, smiled, and said, "Okay, I said." She groaned, thought, and was in a little anxious, and forgot what was in her pocket. So, she said casually: "The tender water feeds Jiangcheng well, and the professor's talent is bubbling." ”

Everyone clapped their hands and coaxed at the same time. "I don't know if it's a boast or a weirdo." A comrade-in-arms joked.

"How dare you offend your comrades-in-arms, you can't boast about it." Ding Zandong said with a smile.

"Boss, you'll have to ask Madame to come up with something real."

"Don't worry." Wu Yi said.

After the joke episode, Ding Zandong became a little nervous, because today is the most celebratory day in more than 30 years. She took out the prepared poem and read: "The rivers and mountains are red, and the beloved relatives and friends are running to Huihong." The tender water is spread on Xinyuan Road, and the wealth is rolling into the sky. ”

Everyone clapped their hands.

"Who said that we are victims of the uselessness of reading, and we can say such things without reading and studying." A comrade-in-arms said proudly.

"In fact, a person must continue to work hard and learn to improve his knowledge." Yu Wei's heart knot opened, and his words flowed naturally. "Without your own quality, virtue and cultivation, you can't do anything."

"At that time, when we went to the countryside, whether it was the leaders of the commune, the brigade, the production team, the primary school teachers, the barefoot doctors, or the poor middle peasants, they all said that the people in our household were mature, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and of high quality."

"Yes, everybody said that at the time."

"We, the educated youth, are really exemplary."

"Wow, the tone is high."

Back then, it was these young people who walked through the unpredictable roads and passes of life. Although after 32 years of reunion, a comrade-in-arms was left behind, but everyone has their own lives. Everyone is constantly improving themselves and taking the road of life.

Ding Zandong looked at the time, "Comrades-in-arms, full of elegance, drinking and talking about ancient and modern. ”

Everyone was stunned by Ding Zandong's words.

She pulled out a few boxes, "All ready." ”

Only then did everyone take action and take out the food and drinks.

"The cucumbers are not washed." Ding Zandong said immediately.

"It's cleaner than washing." Said the comrade-in-arms.

"As the old saying goes, the original soup turns into the original food, and the river water stews the river fish."

"Yes, back then, our family used to pick river water for cooking."

"However, the current river water is not the water of that time."

"But it's okay to wash it and feel the fun."

While washing cucumbers in the river water, a few people said: "When we went to the countryside, how fragrant the bud rice flour cake was, that is called bud rice flour cake." ”

"I'll never taste that pure taste anymore."

"Yes, stable and high production is what makes people's lives ......"

They brought the washed dishes to the table.

"Roast chicken, fried fish, peanuts, cucumbers, boss, you have to move the house." The comrade-in-arms chewed a cucumber in his mouth and said to Wu Yi beside him.

"Can you finish it?" They said.

"Eat." Ding Zandong said confidently.

"But there's something special about eating and drinking here."

"Yes, the so-called "picnic" is all about this atmosphere. ”

"You have to keep your drink in check, because you still have to eat and drink at night, so let's take a drink." Everyone toasted.

"Boss, I think your restaurant is here. The lake and mountains are sparkling. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Hey, I forgot about the stubble here."

They ate, drank, and laughed.

"Don't say it, maybe the place we are sitting here is the Goose Emperor Banquet and the River Fish Banquet of the year." A comrade-in-arms said.

"Quite possibly. At that time, the goose emperor banquet and river fish banquet of the Great Liao Kingdom were huge. Wu Yi said.

"Perhaps, now is the reappearance of the past, come and raise a glass together."

"Boss, tell me about this."

Wu Yi turned his gaze to Yu Wei.

"Boss," Yu Wei said modestly, "you speak." ”

Wu Yi was in high spirits, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "The Goose Emperor Banquet and the River Fish Banquet are the royal feasts of the Great Liao Kingdom. Once in the summer and once in the winter. The king of Liao personally presided over it, personally selected geese and geese, selected fish for the banquet, and personally rewarded the leader. Wu Yi continued: "When you set off, the kings and grandsons, the concubines, the eldest princesses, princesses, and servants...... Set up camp on the banks of the Nenjiang River. In summer, the eldest princess and princess are the protagonists. Princes, princes and grandchildren helped. The eldest princess and princesses all raise "Haidongqing", this kind of eagle specializes in catching swans and geese. Which princess's Hai Dongqing is witty, brave, and strong, which princess is well captured and has won many awards. At the end of the ceremony, they ate, drank, sang and danced. ”

"At present, the burial goods found in the tomb of the princess of the Liao Dynasty include Hai Dongqing." A comrade-in-arms took advantage of Wu Yi's breath to breathe a sigh and said: "Of course, there are constant whispers now. ”

"Yes," Wu Yi continued, "the next time is the winter hunt, the battlefield of the prince and the grandson. They all have their own fishing tools, and each king and grandson bring their own "fish leader" to find on the river. When they find the best place, they shoot and go to the net. When you go out of the net, you have to shout. The river fish feast is twelve different kinds of fish, meaning: day and day, month and month, year and year...... Plenty of food and clothing......"

The breeze passed, the wine and food were delicious, and everyone could hear it. These high school students in the 70s of the last century are still tenacious in the journey of life. The reserve of knowledge and rich experience make them unsatisfied. However, as they walked, they listened to the conversation between Wu Yi and Yu Wei.

On the water's edge of the terrace, the gentle willow branches hung down into the water, swaying in the wind, as if a girl's hand was plucking in the water.

"Like a ripple in a slender hand." Wu Yi said.

They walked across the arched bridge, and the water was murmuring under the bridge. "Lao Yu, look." Said the comrade-in-arms.

"It's like a small bridge and flowing water, happy you, me, and him." Yu Wei said.

A temple is hidden in the trees, and the breeze blows, disappearing and appearing, and the colors are speckled with colors.

"Small bridges and flowing water, Puliu people." Yu Wei said.

"Yu Wei," Wu Yi said emotionally: "We are near the water, and you ......"

"Boss," Yu Wei said politely, "only each other." ”

They walked out of the park, but the excitement was still burning. The one who knows the destiny of heaven fulfills a famous saying:

You must know that lust is the source of suffering, and restraining desire is the path to happiness. When we forget to compare, save unnecessary expenses, and live in a simple way with low requirements, we can achieve true spiritual freedom.

However, these white-hearted people have already walked through the mountains. Looking back at his footsteps, he is still white and flawless, and he is quite powerful. A piece of history writes the resume of life, and when you circle it, you have a clear conscience. So, let yourself go and seek a better tomorrow.

At this time, the comrades-in-arms hummed, and everyone chorded.

Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distant places......
