"I thought you didn't remember." The corners of Gu Chao's mouth curled, holding Wei Lan's face, and rubbing his rough thumb under her crying red eyes, "Be happy, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner tomorrow." ”

Attention was almost diverted, Wei Lan shook her head in disapproval, "Just eat at home, I'll do it." ”

It doesn't cost a lot of money to go out to eat, but there will definitely be only the two of them who will go when the time comes.

Grandma Gu has bad legs and feet, and she is reluctant to go, and she most likely doesn't want to let Youlan go out, for fear of spending more money.

Wouldn't it be better to have two sumptuous dishes at home and be lively together?

Gu Chao saw that the little girl's eyes became flexible again, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”

Got up and opened the curtains, the sun filled the room, Gu Chao stood against the light, and stretched out his hand to Wei Lan, "The face is about to be lumped." ”

*

The next day was Gu Chao's birthday, and Wei Lan began to prepare early in the morning.

One day Gu Chao went to the town late, although he bought meat, but it was all leftovers, so he went to the town early this morning and bought two catties of meat, two catties of lamb chops, and two catties of mutton.

According to the taste of several people in the family, Wei Lan made pork rib soup, fried lamb chops, cumin mutton, and chopped the stuffing and pinched the Sixi balls, accompanied by small green vegetables in the self-kept field, and bamboo shoots from local materials in the bamboo forest.

The person who worked in the sunflower seeds and came back late passed by the bamboo forest path, faintly smelled the aroma of rice, and one by one his stomach was bulging, and he inhaled a few mouthfuls of the aroma vigorously, and then hurried home.

Although the smell of the fragrance is very greedy, but it is not a festival or a year, there are few people who are willing to buy meat, people are more to smoke a few more flavors, and when they go home, they will bite a few bites of vegetable dumplings with the fragrance.

After tea and dinner, Grandma Gu was in a good mood, cooked rice wine, and let the family drink a few cups.

The system of the elderly is not as good as that of the young people, and after a few cups of rice wine with very low alcohol content, their consciousness begins to be a little chaotic.

Grandma Gu squinted, pinched Wei Lan's hand and patted it gently, "Huanxi...... Greet the door with joy, blessing to blessing, blessing to ......"

Grandma Gu looked at Wei Lan with a thick smile, and in addition to love in her eyes, she loved her juniors.

Wei Lan hurriedly helped Grandma Gu, for fear that if she was not careful, Grandma Gu would fall off the chair.

Gu Chao's lips hooked, and he reached out to rescue Wei Lan, "Grandma, you drank too much, I'll help you go back to rest......"

Sent Grandma Gu back to the room to rest, leaving Youlan to take care of her, Gu Chao rolled up her sleeves and squatted by the well to wash and wash.

Lamb chops and cumin lamb contain a lot of fat, so it is better to wash them while the fat in the bowl has not yet solidified.

Wei Lan rolled up her sleeves to help, Gu Chao was quick, grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the side, "Youzhong, I'll come." ”

Gu Chao has always said much, but once he spoke, he paid attention.

Wei Lan knew his temper and no longer shirked.

It was dark, and in the middle of the moon, Wei Lan paused for a while, went into the house, lit a kerosene lamp, and brought it to the well.

She sat on the stone pier with her knees crossed, her chin resting on her knees, and looked at the dim kerosene lamp with her face on the side.

The lines of his side face are smooth and hard, and the dim light is a shallow layer of golden halo on the upper degree, at first glance, I thought it was the aura that came with his body, which was extremely charming.

"Hmm...... Brother Chao. ”

"Huh?" Gu Chao was washing the dishes "jingling", looked up at Wei Lan, and his deep eyes were gentle enough to drown people in them, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hmm......" Wei Lan shook her head, leaned her face against her knees, tilted her head to look at Gu Chao seriously, and the light of the kerosene lamp was reflected in her peach blossom eyes, shining, "Does Brother Chao have any wishes?" ”

Today is Gu Chao's birthday, there should be a birthday wish or something, right?

Gu Chao paused for a moment in his dishwashing action, "Wish?" ”

After a short hesitation, Gu Chao moved again, but he glanced sideways at Wei Lan, hooked his lips and said with a light smile: "Every year there is a present day, and there is joy in the morning and twilight." ”

As long as she is by his side, life has nothing to do with good or bad, for him, it is all good.

At that moment, Wei Lan understood the meaning of his words, her eyes flickered, and she slammed into Gu Chao's arms, knocking Gu Chao over and sitting on the ground.

Wei Lan stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Gu Chao's neck, rubbed her cheek on him affectionately twice, and in an instant, she pursed her lips and stamped a stamp on his lips.

"Then ...... Congratulations to today, I wish you tonight. ”

Wei Lan laughed so hard that tears welled up, her voice was delicate and soft with a trill, and she hugged Gu Chao tightly, "Wait for this day every year, look forward to tonight every year." ”

To be together.

Always together, every "morning and night" in the future!

Wei Lan was in a low mood and only slightly better on Gu Chao's birthday.

After Gu Chao's birthday, her mood continued to be sluggish, and she even fell seriously ill.

In mid-May, the Sunflower Project counted the contribution value, and finally got three people from the Workers' and Peasants' Soldiers' University, namely Fan Xiao, Jiang Cheng and Yu Tingyi.

Fan Xiao gave up the quota after thinking about it, and the captain totaled, according to the contribution value, the quota was pushed to Li Wenwen.

Jiang Cheng privately applied with the captain, and the place was given to his sister, and Jiang Lihua only found out about it long after the commune sent a car to pick up people.

Jiang Lihua and Li Jiandang have feelings, and there was an agreement that Li Jiandang would do his best to go with Jiang Lihua, and Jiang Lihua believed it.

And because the quota was given to Jiang Lihua by Jiang Cheng, even if there is a gap with Jiang Cheng, in the end, it is a brother and sister, Jiang Chengdu does that part, Jiang Lihua does not dare to live up to it.

In mid-June, the commune came to pick up people, Jiang Lihua waved goodbye to everyone, and when she got into the car, she watched Li Jiandang for a long time.

And Yu Tingyi, he once had thoughts about Wei Lan in his heart, but seeing Gu Chao's cherishment of Wei Lan, he chose to let go.

The first love and secret love in his youth were the most beautiful, and before leaving, Yu Tingyi found Wei Lan alone to say goodbye.

At that time, Wei Lan's illness had just recovered, lying on the rocking chair in the backyard basking in the sun, Yu Tingyi sat beside her and said a lot of thoughts that had been hidden in her heart.

Wei Lan closed her eyes, and Yu Tingyi thought she wasn't listening, but she didn't know that after he left, the still rocking chair suddenly swayed back and forth.

The young girl slowly opened her eyes, and reached out to cover the dappled sunlight scattered from the cracks in the bamboo leaves, and her lips gently stirred: "You too." ”

A life of worry-free, free and easy, accompanied by a loved one.

The happy time of living in Zhiqing Point flashed in front of his eyes, and Wei Lan shook the rocking chair with his calves on the ground and sighed softly.

With the passage of time, the college entrance examination restarted, the economy was liberated, and everyone went their separate ways one after another, and she was a little reluctant.

Gu Chao entered the backyard and happened to hear this shallow sigh.

In the past two months, Wei Lan's body has changed a lot, there is no liveliness in the past, her eyebrows are always wrinkled, and the smile on her face is less, and because she has been sick for a while, her complexion is now white, her chin is more and more pointed, and under the dappled sun, there is a sense of transparency.

It was much worse than the state of Wei Lin that Gu Chao had seen in Beijing before.

Gu Chao paced to Wei Lan and squatted down, holding her little hand with both hands and touching her cheek, noticing that her body temperature was as usual, he was a little relieved: "What's wrong?" ”

Wei Lan roughly said what he was thinking, Gu Chao was silent, and said: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, if there is fate, maybe we will meet again in the future." ”

"Hmm." Wei Lan responded softly, a quiet smile appeared on her pale little face, and she looked at Gu Chao funny, "Brother Chao believes in fate?" ”

"I believe that you are my fate." Reaching out and scratching the tip of her nose, Gu Chao said, "God-given fate." ”

At the end, he lowered his head and buried it in her neck and rubbed it lightly, Gu Chao hugged her tightly, "Get up and walk around, huh?" ”

Grandma Gu said that going out to breathe and move more is conducive to physical recovery.

Wei Lan's pale lips bent, and she nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”

Gu Chao accompanied Wei Lan for a walk on the nearby ridge, and the two had just walked not far when they saw a small man carrying a box running towards the team on the trail outside the brigade.

Wei Lan looked at it for a while, rubbed her eyes and looked at it again, turned her head and asked Gu Chao after a while, "Why do I think that person is a little familiar?" ”

Gu Chao squinted and nodded slightly, "Jiang Lihua." ”

"Is it really Jiang Lihua?" Wei Lanxiu frowned, and looked over again, it was true.

Just now she thought she had read it wrong.

But didn't this man just leave? How did you come back again?

Jiang Lihua was halfway there, and after entering the team, Jiang Cheng came to inquire about it, and under some questioning, Jiang Lihua was still silent.

When it came to this field, Jiang Cheng understood everything.

Jiang Lihua couldn't let go of Li Jiandang, she was afraid that Li Jiandang would not be able to do what the agreement said, so she jumped out of the car halfway and gave up the opportunity of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

For the sake of a man, the sister-in-law has nothing to do with arrogance and ambition, Jiang Cheng is angry and even more sad.

On that day, Jiang Cheng, who has always been gentle, lost his temper and slapped Jiang Lihua, Jiang Lihua knew that she had willfully hurt Jiang Cheng's heart, and she didn't dare to resist Jiang Cheng's intentions, she just cried.

The more fiercely Jiang Lihua cried, the harder Jiang Chengcheng hit, if it wasn't for someone around to stop him in time, I am afraid that something would really happen.

Wei Lan didn't go to join in the fun, these things were all hearsay later.

Maybe Jiang Lihua is impulsive, but it can't be denied.

Sometimes, when you identify a person, you will run to the other person without hesitation.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Lihua were completely in trouble, and their relationship was in dire straits, but this situation did not last long, because a new policy was introduced.

In mid-June, large golden sunflowers swayed in the wind, and the beauty and dazzle seemed to blind people's eyes.

Because the seventh team has the best effect of planting sunflowers, a reporter from Beijing City specially rushed over to interview, and Ji Huaiyuan was pushed forward by a group of members with a happy smile and talked to the reporter for most of the day.

The members who had been pickpocketing in the field all their lives and had never seen a camera sat in the corner and watched, but this time they not only saw it, but were also invited to take pictures in front of the sunflower field.

Youlan was also curious, but she was embarrassed to say that Wei Lan took it upon herself to invite the young reporter brother to have a meal at home, and finally pulled Youlan and Gu Chao to stand in front of the large sunflower field together and take a group photo.

The reporter's brother said that when he returned to Beijing and waited for the photos to be washed out, he would mail them to him when the time came, and he would make Youlan happy as if he was something.

On the occasion of leaving, the reporter's brother also left a message that the Beijing city had released the news of restarting the college entrance examination.

The exam started on July 28, and although the news in H Province was closed, this matter was a major event, and someone should come over to talk about it soon.

Wei Lan also said that it was around July before, but seeing that it was mid-June, and she hadn't heard the wind yet, Grandma Gu couldn't settle down in her heart, but now she was finally able to settle down.

However, it is precisely because of this that from that day on, Grandma Gu began to strictly urge Gu Chao and Wei Lan to study and review, and other trivial matters in the family basically did not let the two of them get involved.

Then other educated youths who learned the news, such as Lin Qing, Jiang Lihua and others, knew that Wei Lan had learning materials here, and they would usually come over to walk around and study.

Oh, by the way, in addition to that, there is also a Li Jiandang.

Li Jiandang graduated from primary school, his foundation is poor, and he can't keep up with the progress of studying the junior high school test questions together.

Probably because of this momentum, Jiang Cheng's attitude towards Li Jiandang gradually changed.

Jiang Cheng is an elder brother who hopes that his sister will have a good life, and even gives up his quota as a worker, peasant and soldier.

So, is he at fault?

Undoubtedly, no.

In the end, things developed in a good direction, the relationship between the brother and sister returned to harmony, and a pair of little mandarin ducks did not have to be separated.

Time entered July in a blink of an eye, and as the time for the college entrance examination got closer and closer, Wei Lan's mind became more and more sensitive, until she had a nightmare one night, and she suddenly realized what was going on with her panic for a while.

In the plot of the original book, on the eve of the college entrance examination in mid-July 1977, Wei's father was promoted to chief.

In the same month, the youngest daughter, Wei Lan, died at the age of 17, thousands of miles away from her hometown, in the Seventh Brigade of Hongqi Commune, South H Province.

Wei Lan panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down again.

That's the end of the original body.

And now many things have changed, as early as half a year ago, Wei Xueliang had been promoted to the chief, and Jiang Lihua had become a well-established existence, and she was still a very good friend.

And Leper San, who made the original Wei Lan desperate and embarked on a tragic ending of self-inflicted life, has already been sent to the Northwest Farm for labor reform.

All the people who might pose a danger or threat are gone, so there should be no need to be afraid.

Wei Lan sat on the bed with a bow, under the cold moonlight, her body was thin, and ten fingers were inserted into her hair contradictoryly.

But...... She couldn't convince herself.

Still scared, the feeling of depression made her breathless.

In the next few days, Wei Lan worked hard to build his mind, and just a little better, but Gu Chao suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to Haishi.

"Can't you go if you don't go?" At the dinner table, Wei Lan put down the dishes and chopsticks, her face full of melancholy.

In the past few days, she has become much haggard again, and she can't hide the faint bruises under her eyes.

"Foreigners are suspicious, although Xie Jinghong has James's surname on the outside, he is young, and foreigners can't trust him." Gu Chao explained lightly, and reached out for a while to stroke the hair scattered on Wei Lan's cheeks behind his ears, "There are also some things to deal with, after a while, after the exam, there should be a period of time after the exam, so I happened to go over to deal with it together this time." ”

469 is banned, and it will take two days to release it!!
