In the first chapter, the introducer failed to bring the male protagonist into the venue
One day in early April 1976, neighbor Zhou Yuanying (who was also Xiao's partner) came to look for Liu Qiuyue, but Qiuyue was not at home.
Huang Ying asked; "Something to do with my sister?"
"Yes, is your sister going home today?" Won Young asked.
"Go back. She came back late. She's going to have dinner with Chunhua, and she's going to put it
My sister came back after washing her clothes. Huang Ying replied.
Won-young said, "Oh, then I'll come back later." ”
Huang Ying continued, "If you have anything to do with her, I will help you tell her." ”
Yuan Ying said again; "Forget it, it's better to talk to her in person."
Huang Ying said mischievously; "What's the shame of what's going on? God mysterious. If you don't tell me, I'll leave her when she comes back, so you don't see her.
Yuan Ying said with a anxious smile; "Don't, don't, don't. I'm really looking for her. It doesn't matter if I tell you, your sister has a good relationship, she will tell you sooner or later, and maybe let you give her advice. ”
Huang Ying looked at Yuan Ying in confusion and said; "Yo, interesting, what's a good thing, you still need my staff officer?"
"That's right, the squadron leader of our squad is a big and small man, and he looks good, I want to fight for your sister, hasn't your sister found a partner yet? That's it. Yuan Ying said.
As soon as Huang Ying heard that she was talking to her sister, she smiled and said; "This is a good thing, that kid is from there, how old is that? Do you think that if you look good, you can be worthy of my sister? It's really going to get past me. ”
Yuan Ying said with a smile; "Hey, who do you think you are, you're young, you know how to stink, she'll listen to you? I've passed you. Laugh at me. I can only say that sooner or later I will let you know, and it doesn't matter if I tell you now. ”
Huang Ying smiled and said; "In that case, let's hear it. What is his surname, where is his name, what is his age, his unit and position? ”
Yuan Ying also said with a smile; "Oh, it seems that you really know what a fart. His surname is Hou, a native of Guanyang, Guangxi, 28 years old this year, now working in the Lijiang Machinery Factory, a technician, a worker, a peasant and soldier college student, graduated from Chengdu Telecommunications Engineering College, majoring in radio. Height of 1.70 meters. It is definitely a good seedling who is red and specialized. What do you think? Is it qualified? ”
After listening to Yuan Ying's introduction, Huang Ying nodded with a smile and said; "Well, it's basically qualified, okay, when my sister comes back, I'll tell her."
Yuan Ying said, "Okay, I'll go back first, he's still waiting at my house, your sister is back, I'll accompany him again." After saying that, he went out happily.
After a while, Qiuyue came back, and Huang Ying told her about what Yuan Ying told her about the object, Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment, because she was not ready to fall in love, or maybe it was out of the shyness of a girl, maybe there were both factors, she pushed the bicycle she had just put out again, and she said to Huang Ying, "I forgot, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, I have to hurry up, I'm leaving." With that, he pushed his bicycle and ran away as fast as he could.
Huang Ying shouted loudly at home, "Go and come back quickly, there is something waiting for you at home." ”
Qiu Yue left the house, riding a bicycle aimlessly walking on the street, for a while she didn't know where to go, she turned around twice near the Jiefang Bridge, didn't know where to stay for two hours, and suddenly remembered a good friend Qin Lingying, so she decided to go to her house to go for a walk.
Qiuyue came to her house, there were only her mother and son in the house, the child was crying in bed, she was cooking rice cakes for the child, Qiuyue picked up the baby and teased him, "You little villain, see your mother is busy and flustered, just get you food, you tired your mother to death, your mother is too hard, don't cry, there will be food later." Lin Ying also said with a smile; His arrival was indeed very tiring, but at the same time, it also brought me a lot of joy, and I can't express the taste of it. You're not married yet, so you won't be able to experience the fun, and you'll find out when you're married. Qiu Yue smiled, what about your child's father, why don't you help you?
"His dad said he was buying photo paper for a friend, and he didn't come home for two days."
"Why is he like this, how can you eat like this? When I go to work during the day, I still carry the child to the nursery school on my back, and I have to continue to take care of the child at night, which is too hard, and the child's grandmother and grandfather should also talk about his son, or also come to help. ”
"It's okay, I'm still busy." After the rice cake is cooked, first cool it down with cold water through the milk pot, then put it in the bottle, try the temperature, and start feeding the baby.
The little guy gulped the rice cake in the bottle, and it was really cute. The little one was fed and squinted and slept. Qiu Yue chatted with her for a while, and felt that it was not too early, so she said goodbye and went home.
Speaking of this Qin Lingying, her son will be half a year old at that time. Before marriage, her husband, mother-in-law and uncle's big family surrounded her to be courteous, but now the warm scene is gone.
When she got home, Huang Ying criticized her, "Why have you been out for so long? Let others wait for more than two hours, look, he just left, I think he may still be at Yuan Ying's house, let me take a look? As she spoke, Huang Ying got up and walked out.
Qiu Yue hurriedly stopped. "Just go, what else to see?"
Huang Ying stopped, her eyes full of confusion and looked at her sister. She didn't understand why her sister didn't let her go and see, let alone her sister left in a hurry knowing that she had a date.
Qiu Yue understood what her sister meant, and said, "I don't have this plan yet, so I'll stay away." As she spoke, Qiu Yue put the bicycle away.
When Huang Ying heard her sister say this, she solved the mystery. So the sisters sat down.
Huang Ying came to her sister's side and said to her sister: "Sister, you should think about your life's events, you are twenty-three years old this year, meet the right one, talk about it for a year or two, and get married." That's right. ”
Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Do you want to fall in love, take me as an example?" "Then make a grimace.
Huang Ying said to her sister seriously, "I'll be serious with you, that kid looks really good, a talent, and a good working environment, you still have contact, don't miss the opportunity." ”
Qiu Yue replied lightly: "If he is really sincere, he should take the initiative to make another appointment, what's the hurry." ”
After a while, the parents went home from the meeting, and everyone talked and laughed, and then rested. Nothing to say, no mention.
The second chapter officially enters the role of love
A week later, Huang Ying said to Qiu Yue: "Sister, that kid has made an appointment with you, and he invited you to watch a play, at the Lijiang Theater."
Akizuki said; "What day, what time?"
"Tomorrow."
"Where's the ticket?"
"No tickets."
"What kind of play do you have no tickets for?"
"Isn't he the squadron leader of the squad? Tomorrow their squadron is on duty at the Li River Theater, and he leads us in. ”
"So, where are we sitting? Standing and watching? Qiu Yueman said unhappily.
Huang Ying continued, "No, if that's the case, let's go." ”
After dinner the next day, the Akizuki sisters went to the appointment.
Yuan Ying, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw these two sisters from a distance and hurried forward. Immediately, the boy also rushed over.
When Yuan Ying saw that everyone had arrived, he said to everyone: "Let me introduce you, this is my neighbor, surnamed Liu." Then he pointed to Qiuyue and Huangying, and continued to introduce: "This is my sister, my name is Liu Qiuyue, and my sister Huangying." "Then he turned to Qiu Yue and said;" He is our captain, surnamed Hou, and his name is Hou Jishu. ”
Captain Hou then said to everyone: "The show will start soon, let's enter the venue." ”
Everyone followed Captain Xiaohou into the theater smoothly, he took everyone to the box that had been booked a long time ago, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, casually talked to everyone, said that there was still work, and left alone.
Before the end, he came to take a photo with everyone, and said that the work was not completed yet, so he would not accompany everyone.
At the end of the show, all the lights in the venue were turned on. The light blue wide and thick soft seats, the big red carpet, and the light blue walls, look particularly magnificent. There are no electric fans in the venue, and there are many small holes in the ceiling, which I heard are the air conditioning eyes, where hot or cold air can be sprayed, and even the perfume sprayed in the half of the stadium comes from there.
Walking out of the performance hall, there are lounges on both sides, which are designed for those who smoke and are of course designed to keep the air clean. The toilet design is also very good, each room is separated, there is a door, and there is a separate tap water switch, which is very hygienic and user-friendly. Actually, it's not so much all the people who come to the theater as they are to the theater. Because it was one of the best and most luxurious theaters in Guilin at that time.
Qiu Yue and the others slowly left their seats with the crowded and orderly crowd, admired the whole theater inside and out, and then walked out of the hall, down the stairs, and came to the wide front yard, where many exotic flowers and plants were planted, and the unique exterior wall design highlighted the charm of art.
As the flow of people dispersed, the Autumn Moon sisters went home. Along the way, Huang Ying said to her sister; "Sister, you can see it clearly, how is it?"
Qiu Yue replied lightly: "I see it clearly, it's not good." I don't feel it. ”
Huang Ying said again: "How about contact?" ”
A few days later, Xiaohou came to Qiuyue's house, it was a Sunday, Qiuyue's parents were resting at home, it can also be said to be a formal blind date, the mother took a fancy at a glance, in her eyes, it was simply her daughter Gao Pan, a happy expression, Zhang Luo this Zhang Luona, very enthusiastic, Qiuyue was very anxious to stop her mother's behavior, and she was afraid of angering her mother, making everyone embarrassed, so she had to go with her.
Since then, every Sunday, Xiao Hou has taken the initiative to come to Qiu Yue's house to date her, but Qiu Yue always does housework at home, and Xiao Hou also helps with it. Two months have passed, they have never dated alone, and Qiu Yue doesn't have any feelings for him, but Xiaohou has left a good impression on the family.
One Sunday, Qiuyue was going to the coal store to buy honeycomb coal, and Xiaohou followed. After the two of them bought the coal ball, it was stacked. Her hands were already black, Qiu Yue asked her mother to pour water for her to wash her hands, her mother told her to go to the river to wash, Qiu Yue took the soap and ran towards the river, and Xiao Hou followed. When the father saw it, he cried out aloud; "Stop, what does this look like, a man and a woman, one before and one behind, what kind of system does it become? Let others see that they will gossip. ”
However, Qiu Yue didn't hear her father's instructions and ran straight to the river.
When the two came back from washing their hands, the father straightened his face, pouted, and got angry. Qiu Yue was stupid and didn't know that she was angry with her, and continued to do her own thing. In the evening, the mother called Qiuyue to her and said; "Why is your dad unhappy today? It's because you went to the river with Xiaohou to wash your hands, and your father thought it was inappropriate, and said that if others see it, he would gossip, so don't go out with him in the future,"
Qiu Yue listened to her mother's words, was very angry, and said; "It was your idea to go to the river to wash your hands, and I didn't tell him to go, and now you say that I'm not good, and I get angry when I hear it. Also, this thing of falling in love was originally to be talked about by two people, and the two of them could understand each other by interacting more, and we had never been alone together, so we had to be scolded for washing our hands once, what the hell is going on. ”
The more Qiu Yue spoke, the more angry she became, and she continued; "As parents, you don't know what kind of person your daughter is, you are simply not worthy of being parents, today I will talk about this, you will not care about my affairs in the future, it is better not to care."
After saying that, he fell on the bed and covered his head and pretended to sleep. But she seems to have been hurt psychologically, and she feels particularly wronged.
Since then, Qiu Yue simply took Xiaohou out and introduced him to his friends, and asked his friends to help him refer to him. After several separate contacts, Akizuki felt that they were not suitable and decided to break up with him. The reason is that the two do not have a common language and cannot live together for a long time. Xiao Hou didn't think so, he repeatedly said, "I will work hard to do it according to your living habits, so that you are satisfied and happy." ”
Qiuyue decided to break up with Xiaohou, and she told her sister what she thought. But Huang Ying analyzed it like this.
Huang Ying said with a smile; "This man may not have much ability, he is not ideal, but he is very blessed. If you follow him, maybe you can get some of his blessings. ”
Akizuki said; "Well, he's blessed, but if I follow him, I'll be out of luck. This blessing and bad luck are a natural contradiction. Forget it, I'd better break up with him as soon as possible, lest he take my blessings. ”
After a period of contact, Qiu Yue still felt that he was not suitable for him, so he told his best friend Jiang Taoyi about this idea.
Tao Yi said; "I see that he is still good, he is good-looking and has a good job, how can he say that he is not suitable?"
Akizuki replied; "It's okay to talk about the conditions, but he's too uneducated."
Jiang Taoyi was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked; "What do you say? He is uneducated? ”
"yes, it's just too uneducated."
"Aren't you telling a joke? How can a dignified college student be uneducated? Tao Yi said with a smile.
Qiu Yue continued earnestly; "Really, he's uneducated, you don't know, I've been in contact with him quite a lot recently, the more we talk, the more we can't talk about one place, talk to him about poetry, he doesn't know anything, change the topic, talk to him about current affairs, he is inexplicable, just tell him jokes, he chooses the low-level and obscene. You say, it's not too uneducated. ”
Tao Yi took over the topic and said; "If you really think that he is uneducated, it is right to break up, and it is not good for anyone to drag on for a long time. A family that does not have the same hobbies and interests is an inanimate family, and such a marriage is called a failed marriage. "Because my own marriage is such a marriage, because I am a person from the past. Have real feelings about marriage.
Qiu Yue also looks at marriage in this way, which is the reason and reason for breaking up.
She told her mother what she thought, telling her not to receive him again. But my mother disagreed, saying, you have known him for such a short time, because you don't know him well enough, and after a long time, you will understand him. I think this kid is still good, honest, a college student, a technician, and a good work unit, you will find out his advantages after a while. Mother does work, and Qiu Yue has to try to contact him a few more times, trying to find out his strengths.
Half a month later, on September 9, 1976, Huang Ying set off with more than 20 educated youths and dozens of parents under the organization of the unit.
With the help of her family and Xiaohou, Huang Ying quickly brought straw and made the bed, and at that time, the send-off team returned.
The production team that Huang Ying went to was a very poor team, and the daily work was worth six cents, but at that time, the state had already given food subsidies to the educated youth, although they still couldn't protect themselves, but at least they could comfort their families a little.
Qiu Yue was worried about her sister in that remote mountain villa, so whenever she had a day off, she went to see her and sent her some pickles or pocket money. Qiu Yue felt that he was not the person she liked, so she always wanted to avoid him and prevent him from following. One Sunday, Akizuki prepared her belongings for her sister and rode her bicycle to the countryside alone.
At this time, Xiaohou came, he knew that Qiuyue was going to the countryside, so he said hello to Qiuyue's parents, meaning to tell the old man, I went to the countryside with Qiuyue.
The old man was naturally very happy, for two reasons, first, Qiuyue did not go to the poor countryside so far alone to see his sister, and second, Xiaohou was very kind, in addition to being good to Qiuyue, he also cared about his family.
For some reason, Qiu Yue was very disgusted with his approach. Seeing that he was coming, Qiu Yue said that he couldn't go, and Xiaohou said; "How can you not go? My sister is looking forward to your visit. Qiu Yue said, "If I don't want to go, I won't go," Xiao Hou said, "Then I'll go alone." ”
Qiuyue didn't squeak, Xiaohou took the items from Qiuyue's bicycle and rode forward on his bicycle. Qiu Yue watched him insist on going, and then was about to turn around and go home, it just so happened that a bicycle from behind rushed forward and knocked Xiao Hou over, because he was tall and his feet were propped up on the ground, but the items were thrown on the ground, Xiao Hou picked up the items, patted the dust on them, and then continued to put them away. Then he pushed the bicycle and looked at Qiuyue with his eyes, meaning let's continue walking, Qiuyue insisted that he would not go, Xiaohou insisted on going, and held the items firmly to prevent Qiuyue from taking them away, just like that, Qiuyue went home by herself. She walked about a few dozen meters away and got out of the car to see if Xiao Hou was coming, but she didn't see him, she knew that he must have gone to complete the task alone.
Speaking from the heart, I still think he is quite good on this issue, but if he gives his life to him just because he can help him do something small, wouldn't it be too wronged for his whole life, rather than not being able to be with him for a lifetime, it is better to look cruel to him, but it is actually cruel to love.
So, Qiuyue didn't go home, went directly to the unit, and didn't go home until the afternoon when he got off work. Qiuyue's parents asked; "Why didn't Xiaohou come back with you? Did he return to the unit? ”
Akizuki said; "I don't know, I'm not with him."
The mother asked anxiously, "Didn't he go with you to my sister's?" ”
Autumn Moon replied. "yes, he went personally, I didn't."
"Why don't you go? You went at the beginning, why did he go later? Mother asked, puzzled.
"Mom. I'll tell you the truth, I really don't want to continue to get along with Xiaohou. He is really not my ideal character, please don't let him know about the family affairs in the future, I don't want him to do it. I've already told him that we've broken up, don't receive him anymore, let him die early, so that he can find someone else," Qiu Yue said with a serious attitude.
