Sixty years with spring

CHAPTER XXII

The first step in the journey of life (1)

Wang Xiufeng is thriving and very popular in school. The school wants to organize a theatrical performance, and she is very busy as the supervisor of the student union. In addition to organizing work, it is also necessary to go to each class for technical guidance. She didn't study music in elementary school, and she needed to catch up on that lesson in order to organize the movement. Whenever she had time, she looked for music teachers to study, so that it didn't take long for her music level to become outstanding.

Not only is organizing performances a beautiful thing, but often going to various classes to guide is also an enviable beauty difference. What's more, what made her classmates look beyond her was her famous father, who was unmatched in Mengxiang Commune.

Hundreds of workers were recruited within the commune, and any young man of school age had his head sharpened and drilled into it, because although it was not an iron rice bowl, it earned a wage to ensure income during drought and flood, and it was an indoor work that could not be blown by the wind or rain.

Although Wang Xiu and Che Hongxuan are very close, and even everyone knows about it, she still received several heavy letters of courtship.

When it comes to family background and Gu Mingyuan, I don't dare to say anything else, even the principal has to give three points.

There has long been a discussion among the classmates that if Wang Xiu and Gu Ming are far away, then they are called talented and beautiful, and they are right.

Wang Xiu was so angry when she heard this, because she didn't look at Gu Mingyuan half-eyeballs, and she couldn't look down on his pretentious appearance.

As for Che Hongxuan, although he performed well and participated in the city's amateur reporter training class, he is an ordinary family after all and is not favored by everyone.

In that era when only people who know people can go through the back door, it is inevitable that people will have such opinions.

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, in May 1974, this is the time when new graduates will leave school forever, because they are about to graduate.

The students were ready to return to the vast world without any distractions.

The time at school is beautiful, and it is very nostalgic, especially Gu Mingyuan, who is the most reluctant to leave this beautiful place.

In order to take advantage of this good time before registration, and also to cherish the nostalgia of the student period, so that the brothers can maintain their friendship, Gu Mingyuan organized six male classmates to travel to Qianshan by bicycle for three days. After returning home, I felt that I was not strong enough, and proposed to see the Forbidden City. The six male classmates set off north again, a hundred miles away to Hunhe City.

It wasn't until July that they reluctantly reported to the squad.

When Gu Mingyuan reported to work, he was just in time for the original leader of the youth organization to be recommended to go to university. It turned out that this leader was a young woman intellectual, who was said to be the child of a city leader, and after going to the countryside for two years, she was recommended to be sent to university as a worker, peasant and soldier cadet.

This seems to be deliberately arranged or caught up with the opportunity, among these graduates, whether it is an intellectual youth from the city or a local youth returning to the hometown, only Gu Mingyuan is organizing, and Li Siyu is the only activist. In contrast, Gu Mingyuan had more advantages, and it was logical that he took over the leadership position without dispute.

This position is not full-time, and Gu Mingyuan still has to work in the team where his household registration is located. If you need to come to the brigade or go to the commune for a meeting, you need to ask the team for leave or say hello.

Li Siyu was appointed as the leader of the squad and concurrently the leader of the militia.

Zhang Dahua didn't get any head, and he was honestly ready to work.

The young leader of Che Hongxuan's squad is a female intellectual, and the militia squad leader is a male intellectual, obviously he has no chance to do anything.

On the day of reporting, he came to the team and found the team leader Tang Da was stunned.

"To report?" Tang Da was stunned and rolled his eyes to reveal a cold gaze, coughed and continued, "You still have this amount of money in your family?" It's a young master at home! ”

This Tang Da was stunned with a pair of round black fish-like eyes and looked at Che Hongxuan viciously, I don't know how much hatred I thought.

Che Hongxuan got angry and asked unceremoniously: "I am an intellectual youth who returned to his hometown according to the policy, and I came to the team to receive re-education from poor and middle peasants, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Don't tell me about that nonsense! There are only a few plots of land in the squad, where can so many people be fed? Now there are more than a dozen intellectual young people, who can't do any work, but they have to be raised like their ancestors. It's enough of a headache, you're here again, we can't arrange it! I think you'd better hurry up and find your father to go to the granary as a temporary worker, that's more than earning more than in the squad. ”

"I want to respond to the call to complete the task of taking root and devote myself to the fiery struggle to build a new countryside."

"I can't help if you have to come, but I have to make it clear to you. Last year, when the team went to the grain depot to sell grain, the water level was a little high, and the laboratory technician raised his hand and passed. I'm going to find your dad, but I don't care! The members of the club had a big opinion on this matter, and it made me lose face. Therefore, if you must come to work, then first go to dig up dung with the old boss of the S molecule, do it for a while, accept the re-education of digging dung, and then study and accept the re-education of the poor middle peasants. Also, when the team has a meeting, you have to be responsible for informing and taking a gong to ring from house to house. ”

"I'm a high school graduate and class president, isn't it appropriate for me to do this? As for my father, you should know that he is a worker in the grain depot, so how can he be able to help? ”

Tang Dazi showed a vicious gaze and reprimanded: "Don't forget, your mother is a landlord's wife, you are a landlord's cub, the object of dictatorship, and you need to supervise the transformation!" We are poor in this place, there is no other landlord, just your mother, you have to do it, you have to do it if you don't do it, no one is used to your fault! Love where to go, I arranged it like this! You remember, in our acre of land I spit is nailed! Whether it's you or anyone else, listen to me! When you come here, you have to coil the dragon, and you have to lie down if you are a tiger! ”

It's no less than a slap in the face.

Che Hongxuan was blinded, his eyes were foggy, and he walked out of the team site listlessly. Feeling miserable and helpless, he strolled to the south river, and sat down under the old elm tree.

It is unavoidable that there is already an emotional wound on his body that is dripping blood, and now he has been stabbed again, which makes him feel that the future is bleak.

He was in pain, and it was heartbreaking. But he has to face that, as Mr. Zhang said, if he can't overcome these difficulties, he will achieve nothing. There is no other way, this is society, this is not like in school, you can be willful, this can only be resigned.

Seeing that it was not too early, he walked home depressed.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Xiu happened to come back from school happily.

The graduates all went home, but she was left by the school to help with theatrical performances because a music teacher was on maternity leave.

Wang Xiu's face was full of spring breeze, his eyes were full of joy, and he tilted his head slightly and said, "Hey, I'll tell you the good news, the school wants to keep me as a teacher and teach music." ”

Che Hongxuan blinked, like an acrobat, immediately concealed the extreme pain in his heart, became smiling, his eyes also showed a gentle gaze, and said in admiration: "It's so beautiful!" I'm feeling distressed, just your fine skin and tender meat can withstand the wind and sun in the countryside, and it won't be long before you become a black village girl! ”

"What's wrong with the village girl, why do you always talk to me with thorns?"

Che Hongxuan laughed, and deliberately teased her: "Aunt Chun is good, it's stronger when it's dark, and the ugly wife is close to the treasure!" ”

"Think beautifully, it's not your turn when it's dark!"

"You know, it's just unrequited love."

"What nonsense?"

Che Hongxuan smiled happily and said, "Fun with you, don't take it to heart." ”

"I'll tell you, it's not a big deal to go down to the fields and farm! Which of those intellectual young people is not more delicate than me, and who has not come and gone in the wind and rain all day long? Anyway, I grew up in the countryside, I have seen the wind and rain, and I have fished with you and played with your own land, so I am better than them. ”

"Do you know how their parents feel?"

"I'm afraid I'll be late, do you need to say that?" Wang Xiu puffed out her mouth and smiled sweetly.

"It must be, my mother is worried. You are really a blessed person, the opportunity is rare, you must work hard and strive to make achievements! ”

"Work hard, work hard, try hard!"

Che Hongxuan raised his fist and waved it like a child, which was an encouragement.

"By the way, did you report to duty?"

"Go, the team will give me a good job."

"yes, I don't think it's bad. The cadres of our class have a name when they return to their hometowns, of course, Gu Mingyuan, and they are the youth leaders of the brigade. ”

"Let me dig up the."

Wang Xiu covered his mouth and smiled, and said happily: "Not bad, yes, do that work casually, do as much as you want, no one dares to come forward to provoke you, it seems that Captain Tang takes care of you very much!" ”

"What I'm telling you is true, I'm so breathless, I really want to hit him with an electric cannon with a blue nose and swollen face! The same graduates, Gu Mingyuan became the leader of the team, Li Siyu became the leader of the team, and I was plummeting, and it was difficult to accept that I was treated as a rich and anti-bad right. His grandmother's, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later! ”

"That's unkind! In my opinion, it is better to go to the general factory as a temporary worker. ”

"No, I don't even work as a temporary worker at the grain depot, why do I go to the comprehensive factory? There's no need to trouble your dad. ”

"You go first, and you can become a contract worker when you have the opportunity later."

"That's impossible, a hundred pairs of eyes staring at it. Now it's not like it was at the beginning, going to your father's factory as a worker needs a team to recommend the team to select, and there are a lot of bitter and bitter poor middle peasant children staying there, who can recommend me? Even if your dad isn't afraid of being knocked down again, he can't do it. I don't even have the opportunity to be a soldier, so where can I still be qualified to be a worker? Therefore, I have made up my mind, take root in the countryside, honestly accept the re-education of the poor and middle peasants, and persist in fighting on the frontal battlefield. Another reason is that I am a reporter, and I must work the front line of agricultural production in order to have a living, and in order to write better articles with a foundation for life in a timely manner, I must not deviate. What about you, it's still the same sentence, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can fly, don't miss the splendid future for the sake of your children's private feelings. ”

"What are you grinding and grinding? I don't like to hear it! I see you're in a bit of a trance! ”

"This is very realistic, I can't miss your future, and you don't have the right to do so. Let's move forward, we live in a sunny spring and move forward towards a better tomorrow. ”

"You haven't gone to dig up the dung yet, that's what you say!"

"I'm not going to dig up dung, I'm not going to go!"

"That's right, they're insulting you! You just stay at home for a while, anyway, now that I can earn money, it won't be difficult for us. ”

"Okay, just give me a little less, enough to buy cigarettes and Amitabha."

"You smoked?"

"Sometimes writing requires thought."

"Okay. These days, you just accompany those fox friends and dogs to play in the mountains and rivers, and then you drink a lot of wine and leave me alone, it's too unusual! Didn't care about my feelings at all! I'm going to go into the city to take a shower this week, you're ready, we'll take the bus. ”

"Can you let your brother accompany you, I've been in a bad mood for the past two days."

"Nonsense!"

"What are you doing like that?"

"That's it, I can't bear it! The weather is so good today, accompany me to the South River in a while, and wait for me here after dinner. ”

Che Hongxuan couldn't refuse, he smiled reluctantly.

"I'll go back to eat, you go back to eat too, hurry up."

Che Hongxuan turned around and went back to eat, and remembered the matter of reporting to the breath, and inevitably frowned.

Seeing his dejected appearance, his mother thought that her conversation with Wang Xiu had collapsed, and asked, "Why do you always entangle with her when you have nothing to do?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Wang Xiu stayed in school as a music teacher, and I'm here to tell me."

"Is that going to report to the team?"

"That Tang Da stunned me to dig up dung, and asked me to go door to door to knock on the gong and shout people during the meeting, so angry that I really wanted to beat him!"

The mother scolded: "Wang Ba Lamb, we took his child down the well? ”

"I'd like to wait a minute."

"Let your dad go to his old man at night, your grandfather was kind to his dad back then, otherwise we wouldn't be here. Don't worry, mom is going to get justice for you! Eight lambs, ungrateful bastards! ”

Mom is very confident in saying this, because no matter who has a big or small affair in the team, she never pulls it out, so her popularity is very good.

After eating, the car Hongxuan left.

It just so happened that my sister came, and my mother and sister went to the vegetable field to pick kidney beans for my sister.
