Chapter 4

At the beginning, Li Hongmei finished reading the newspaper, turned off the megaphone, and said to He Erbao with a red face: Is there anything else going on with the branch secretary? I'll go back if it's okay.

He Erbao looked at Li Hongmei's blushing face, hesitated for a moment before saying: Then go back.

Li Hongmei lowered her head and hurriedly walked past He Erbao, leaving a wisp of "alabaster" smell, which left a deep imprint in He Erbao's heart at that time, and he kept watching Li Hongmei's figure disappear at the door of the team headquarters. On the snow, Li Hongmei's footprints were still clearly left. Those small and clever footprints have always been imprinted in He Erbao's heart.

Later, Li Hongmei was not in such a hurry to leave, but sat in front of the fire with He Erbao, and said some salty and indifferent words without words. He Erbao didn't seem to have many topics at this time, and every time he almost asked some Li Hongmei how she felt about going to the countryside, who was in her family, and so on. When the silence fell, the two of them stared at the red fire in a daze, and the fire was warmly reflected on the faces of the two people, and their faces were red.

At that moment, Li Hongmei felt that she was very happy, and He Erbao beside her was deeply attracted to her. She was not as anxious to return to the city as others, she didn't feel that there was anything in the city that attracted her, that ordinary home, which could not be more ordinary, had not given her any happiness and pride. At this time, she even thought: If she is accompanied by a man like Erbao, there is nothing to live in the countryside for the rest of her life.

Things changed that evening. It was dark early in the north, and that day, Li Hongmei, who had finished reading the newspaper, sat in front of the fire with He Erbao again, and the correspondent of the brigade headquarters had already been sent away by He Erbao. Since the day Li Hongmei walked into the brigade headquarters to read the newspaper, the correspondent was sent out by He Erbao. For some reason, he just wanted to stay alone with Li Hongmei, listen to her voice, and look at her red face.

That evening, there was a sudden power outage, and the house was naturally dark. The sudden power outage made the two of them unable to find a topic for a while, so they sat in a daze. After a while, Li Hongmei said: I should go.

She said this, but her body did not move. At this moment, He Erbao suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Li Hongmei's hand. At first, Li Hongmei's hand moved, but it didn't move immediately, so she quietly let He Erbao hold her hand. This is the first time for Li Hongmei and He Erbao, and they can't think of any better way. The two hands were held together through the fire, and after a long time, the electricity suddenly came again. The sudden light startled both of them, and their hands parted.

Li Hongmei said in a voice that only she could hear clearly: I should go. After speaking, he lowered his head and walked out in a panic. It was only then that He Erbao found that his palms were full of sweat.

Since then, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes. Li Hongmei still went to the brigade headquarters every day to read the newspaper on the loudspeaker, and after reading the newspaper, she walked out without even saying hello. When she passed by He Erbao's side, He Erbao said in a trembling voice: After dinner, I will wait for you under the bridge.

After dinner, it was already dark. He Erbao came early under the bridge, a diversion bridge, made of cement and stone, which stood still in the evening. Li Hongmei arrived as promised, and the two looked at each other at a very close distance, neither of them spoke, and their breathing was heavy. Suddenly, He Erbao leaned over his body like a fallen bridge pier, and suddenly hugged Li Hongmei's thin body in his arms. This kind of surprise made Li Hongmei scream softly. Then, she threw her whole body into He Erbao's arms. He Erbao took out the strength he used to save the cow and hugged Li Hongmei desperately, the bones in Li Hongmei's body made a gurgling sound, and the strong Li Hongmei never let out a soft scream again.

The wind whistled along the bridge hole, and the ice under the bridge was frozen to the point of a small cracking sound, and both of them shivered in the cold, but neither of them felt cold. Finally, in the darkness, the two came together, cold and wet. Then their teeth bumped together, making a crisp sound in the dark night.

Since then, Li Hongmei and He Erbao have often dated on the bridge in the dark. As soon as the two met, they hugged each other tightly, and after a while, He Erbao asked in a cold and shivering voice: Is the countryside good?

Li Hongmei said in a trembling voice: Okay, that's good.

He Erbao said again: How am I?

Li Hongmei replied again: Okay.

At that time, Li Hongmei really hoped that in the cold wind, under the embrace of He Erbao, she would be so desolate.

Winter is over, and spring is coming.

People who have been cats for a winter have started to move around again.

The place where He Erbao and Li Hongmei met changed several times, and finally changed to the back mountain, under the big tree with a crow's nest. After a winter and a spring date, the two still hugged and kissed, and the most outrageous time was that He Erbao grabbed Li Hongmei's firm tits once through his clothes. Li Hongmei said with a sigh of disgust: You hurt me.

Next, the two talked about the future.

He Erbao said: Sooner or later, I will be transferred to the commune and become a public family.

Speaking of this, Li Hongmei's expression darkened and said: It seems that I can only be a member of the club in my life.

He Erbao said energetically: There is always an opportunity, as long as you promise not to go back to the city, I will definitely have a way to make you not a member of the society, and at worst you can go to teach in the commune middle school or work in the commune hospital.

He Erbao's words pointed out the future for Li Hongmei, and Li Hongmei was naturally excited.

The opportunity finally came, and at the turn of spring and summer, the commune gave He Erbao's brigade a quota to escort workers, peasants, and soldiers to college students. Li Hongmei finally got this place naturally. When the school was assigned, Li Hongmei was assigned to the provincial medical school.

He Erbao reluctantly sent Li Hongmei away, the night Li Hongmei and He Erbao broke up, she cried wet two handkerchiefs given to her by He Erbao, and finally swore that after graduation, she would definitely come back and marry He Erbao immediately.

The paper can't contain the fire, and many bright-eyed educated youths have long seen the unusual relationship between He Erbao and Li Hongmei. They jointly wrote a letter to He Erbao to the commune.

The commune was about to appease these educated youth, but the evil "***" was smashed in one fell swoop, and the whole country was immersed in great excitement, and such trivial matters were put aside.

Immediately afterwards, all the educated youths returned to the city en masse. The matter of suing He Erbao will naturally be over.
