In the afternoon, Zhang Xuemei took a long-distance bus back to her hometown in Zhuxi.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Zhang Xuemei saw Xie Jihong in the house, and she shouted with joy:

"When did you get here?"

"Just arrived. School is on winter break? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuemei nodded.

After Zhang Xuemei sat down, Xie Jihong then asked:

"Do you want to follow me to the Longwangya Tea Farm to revisit my hometown?"

"You haven't been in that poor place enough?" Zhang Xuemei joked with her.

"That's where we fought!" Xie Jihong couldn't help but get excited, "At that time, our whole class came to the countryside with full enthusiasm to settle down in the queue, fought in the Longwangya Tea Field, and dedicated our beautiful youth to the magnificent communist cause!" ”

"You haven't changed at all, you're still so passionate!"

"Our generation is a passionate generation!"

"However, that fiery era is gone!"

"Now, we have entered the era of reform and opening up, and we also need passion! I thought: The educated youth who joined the team with us back then must also miss that fiery era as much as I do, and I should invite a few more people to the Longwangya Tea Farm, which will be more meaningful! Don't you miss that era at all? ”

"How could I not miss it? After all, we gave our beautiful youth in that era! ”

"Youth is beautiful, we have dedicated our beautiful youth to the magnificent communist cause, therefore, we should be happy and proud of our generation!" Xie Jihong's eyes flashed with excitement, "It was really an era of burning passion, we devoted ourselves to that era without hesitation, and willingly dedicated our beautiful youth to the party and the people!" ”

"Okay, okay, you don't want to be lyrical anymore, can't I promise you to go?"

Two days later, they invited a few of their best friends to come to the Longwangya Tea Farm together.

In the Longwangya Tea Field, they were full of passion, recalling the unforgettable days and nights they spent here!

This gathering made them feel like they were back in time!

During the winter break, Zhang Xuemei and several of her female classmates visited each other.

One day, a few more female classmates came. After sitting down, Chen Shuhong asked Zhang Xuemei:

"How are you doing now? Isn't it going well at work? ”

"So-so, mixed bowl of rice!"

"You're so pretty, there must be a lot of boys pursuing you, right?" Zhang Fuying asked.

Zhang Xuemei smiled but did not answer.

Chen Shuhong took a few sips of tea, "A few days ago, I met Luo Guoqiang. He also asked about you! ”

Zhang Xuemei's face immediately showed an uncomfortable expression, and tears seemed to be rolling in her eyes.

"I know: you've been thinking about him!" Seeing Zhang Xuemei so uncomfortable, Chen Shuhong couldn't help but lower her eyes, "For you, this love is unforgettable, casting a heavy shadow on your heart!" ”

"When I first graduated, I didn't know how to face reality!"

"Wu Junhua is okay with you?"

"He wished he could marry me now!"

"Do you like him?"

“……”

"I heard that Wu Zhijian is pursuing you, is there such a thing?" Yang Xiaomei asked Zhang Xuemei.

"He and I are just normal colleagues." Zhang Xuemei told Yang Xiaomei, "Now, there are two more young people from our school. ”

"One of them is named Chen Wenhai, right?"

Zhang Xuemei nodded.

"Now there are a lot of rumors about him outside, what kind of person is he?"

"He's not going to be a bad guy anyway!"

"I don't think he's a bad guy. Some people say that Chen Wenhai's personality is very complex and often unpredictable! Maybe it's because I read a lot of books! ”

"I don't know much about him right now."

"Some people say he's a nerd who doesn't apply what he's learned from books to real life. Others say that he is dead-eyed and not flexible in dealing with problems at all. I heard that Chen Wenhai's illness this time was due to a broken love, is this true? ”

"How do I know?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuemei said to everyone: "Actually, that's not called falling out of love. I know a little bit about that. ”

"Then you can tell us all!" Chen Shuhong shouted.

"It's not something that can be made clear in a sentence or two. I'll tell you more about it when the right opportunity arises later. Zhang Xuemei took a sip of tea, and then continued: "But there is one thing I can tell you now: Chen Wenhai's illness was completely caused by Shen Ruolan, an ignorant woman!" Many people have learned her nonsense! If she hadn't forced her son to marry, how could Chen Wenhai have fallen seriously ill! That serious illness almost killed Chen Wenhai! ”

"Although Chen Wenhai didn't die, he was greatly injured!" Xie Jihong's eyes flashed with tears, and he said in a choked voice: "This serious illness has left sequelae for Chen Wenhai, and he will definitely spend the rest of his life in extreme pain!" There must be some people who don't know the truth who will endlessly rub salt and stab him in his wounds! He will definitely be frightened step by step on the bumpy road of life, and often have a feeling of walking on thin ice! Chen Wenhai traveled thousands of miles from Shanghai to our northwest of Hubei Province, and he never imagined that he would suffer so many sins and suffer so much in our place! When will Chen Wenhai's miserable life be the end! ”

Xie Jihong's affectionate words deeply touched everyone and made everyone silent for a long time! During this time, the air seems to be frozen! Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I can't say a word!

In order to break this tranquility, Xie Jihong said to everyone with a smile:

"However, there is no endless road, as long as everyone actively uses their brains, there will still be a way! What's more important is that as long as Chen Wenhai's will does not collapse, with tenacious perseverance, he will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road of life! ”

"What you say is reasonable, I fully agree!" Yang Xiaomei said.

"After he fell ill, many people looked down on him and laughed at him, saying that he couldn't think so much about a woman, where did he still look like a man!" Chen Shuhong took a few more sips of tea, "If you want me to say, if he really went crazy for a woman and abandoned his studies, it would be too unworthy!" ”

"I don't think Chen Wenhai will be such a person!" Zhang Fuying said.

"Is there any basis for what you say?" Chen Shuhong asked.

"My gut tells me. A woman's intuition is sometimes very accurate. ”

"That's just as well."

"How are you going to get along with him in the future?" Xie Jihong asked Zhang Xuemei.

"Get along nicely!" After taking a few sips of tea, Zhang Xuemei asked the sisters around her:

"Would you like to see my album?"

"Yes! We so much want to see it! They hurriedly agreed in unison.

Zhang Xuemei took out her album from the drawer, and then they enjoyed it with great interest.

Chen Shuhong pointed to a few of the photos, her face was filled with joy, "These photos are so beautiful, and your beautiful dancing posture is fully expressed!" At that time, you were a talented person in our class, dancing well, and writing beautifully! In these aspects, none of our female classmates dare to compare with you! ”

At this time, Zhang Xuemei's younger brother Zhang Junjie came back, and he said to everyone:

"Since I was in elementary school, no one in the class dared to compare with my sister! It can be said that my sister is talented! I am so proud to have such a talented sister! ”

"Your sister can be said to be both talented and beautiful!"

"So, there are a lot of people chasing my sister! However, my sister didn't fancy any of them! ”

"Isn't that right? Luo Guoqiang, didn't your sister take a fancy to it? ”

"Luo Guoqiang is an exception."

"At that time, we were all very envious of the two of them, saying that the two of them were a natural pair!" Speaking of this, Chen Shuhong couldn't help but feel sad, "It's a pity: because of the 'stick beating the mandarin ducks', the two of them can't get together for a hundred years!" Then he said to Zhang Xuemei: "Your mother is the granite mind!" ”

"Shhh Zhang Junjie hurriedly put two fingers on his mouth and reminded.

"What if she hears it? I'm not afraid of her! ”

"Beware of her scolding you and even kicking you out of my house!" Zhang Xuemei said to Chen Shuhong.

"I don't need her to rush, I'll go by myself!"

"Sit down a little longer, I didn't drive you away!"
