Section I

Snow White will not marry the seven dwarfs, and Yang Duoduo has not taken a fancy to Ma Weiguo. Her crush is the handsome and athletic physical education teacher Sha Wei. Ma Weiguo's sister Ma Hongmei was unexpectedly pregnant, but her boyfriend Luo Gang fled. With the help of Yang Duoduo, Ma Hongmei was able to successfully have an abortion, but she did not escape the fate of being exiled to the countryside and was forced to marry a fool. Yang Duoduo also helped Ma Weiguo a lot, that is, let him know that BEYOND knew "Goodbye Ideal", which became the love of his life. Ma Weiguo also drew two BEYOND tickets, saying that he was going to take Yang Duoduo to Hong Kong to watch a concert. At the graduation party after the college entrance examination, Ma Weiguo sang "Goodbye Ideal" with difficulty, while Yang Duoduo hid in the library and cheated with Sha Wei and was arrested.

In order to clear the charge of seducing underage girls, Sha Wei slandered Yang Duoduo to seduce himself like **, and the desperate Yang Duoduo took off his pants to prove that he was a virgin. Ma Weiguo avenged Yang Duoduo, and in the chaos, Sha Wei was seriously injured, and the hand-painted ticket with Ma Weiguo's name written on the scene became an important clue. Ma Weiguo, who lost his name in the college entrance examination, took care of everything, leaving the future to the four modernizations and iron heads who were admitted to the university. On the way to the detention center, Yang Duoduo chased the police car and caught the ticket with her name written on it handed out by Ma Weiguo, but the ticket was broken in two and left in the hands of two people, the youth was torn, and there was an unfinished agreement.

The Starlight Cup Basketball League has officially begun. Sha Wei, the physical education teacher of Starlight Children's Middle School, is the absolute main force on the court, and the tall and handsome Sha Wei is the idol in the minds of many female students and teachers, so his physical education class is always the most neat, and his dashing floating hand layup has always been the most athletic, even those female students who come to the aunt will endure the discomfort of physical education class, just to take a few more glances at the handsome Sha Wei.

The basketball was thrown high into the air, and with the referee's sharp whistle, Sha Wei jumped over the basket and entered the basket, and a floating hand layup in one go, winning the loud cheers of the audience outside the court, the female teachers and female students shouted especially loudly, and the male teachers and male students shouted twice in response, and the eyes that looked at Sha Wei were all sour.

The referee used the microphone to announce: "Zidi Middle School, two points!" Someone next to me flipped over a plastic scoreboard.

Yang Duoduo and the mischievous trio were all watching from the sidelines, she looked at Sha Wei's vigorous figure with some obsession, and her eyes showed a trace of longing and intoxication. Yang Duoduo's strange expression was seen by Sihua and Tietou, and they looked at Sha Wei with some jealousy. Ma Weiguo was at a loss, he had never been interested in sports, and sat quietly on the sidelines reading martial arts novels by the light. The reason why I came to join in this excitement was completely at the request of basketball fan Yang Duoduo.

Tired of reading, Ma Weiguo rubbed his swollen eyes and looked at Yang Duoduo's back, only to find that Sihua and Tietou were squeezing their eyebrows at him, as if there was some danger to remind him to pay attention. Ma Weiguo looked left and right, but did not find anything abnormal, and was a little confused by the second monk. At this moment, the basketball rolled to the sidelines and rolled to Yang Duoduo's feet, Sha Wei ran over with sweat, bent down to pick up the basketball, and glanced at the beautiful Yang Duoduo, at the moment when the two looked at each other, Yang Duoduo looked a little shy for the first time, and a flush swelled up on his cheeks. Although Ma Weiguo couldn't see Yang Duoduo's expression from behind, the slightly embarrassed back, the unnatural small movements, and the reaction on Sha Wei's face were all meaningful, and a magnetic field of opposites attracting spread out next to the arena.

Ma Weiguo finally understood the danger. These days with Yang Duoduo day and night, getting along very happily, let him get a little carried away, thinking that he has nine out of ten wins, his position in Yang Duoduo's mind is unshakable, and this happiness can continue endlessly. Now he suddenly realized that this was just his wishful thinking, he paralyzed himself, and he was able to stay by Yang Duoduo's side only because she didn't have new friends yet, and once there was a powerful intruder, Yang Duoduo would stay away from him. Ma Weiguo complained that he was paralyzed, relaxed his vigilance, and ignored potential enemies. He uneasily reminded himself to cheer up, protect Yang Duoduo, and tie her firmly to himself. Only in this way will he have the opportunity to sublimate friendship into love and turn friends into lovers.

After sending Yang Duoduo home, Ma Weiguo has been assessing the challenges he faces on the way back to his home and thinking about a plan to deal with them. But an accident happened that disrupted his planned deployment.

There are two beds in Ma Weiguo's small bedroom, with a curtain drawn in the middle, with his bed on one side and Ma Hongmei's bed on the other. Ma Hongmei occasionally comes back to live, so she will sleep here, and the two sisters and brothers lie on the bed and chat. When he walked into the bedroom, Ma Weiguo found that the curtain in the middle of the bed was closed, indicating that Ma Hongmei had come back to sleep. When he saw that there was no movement on the other side of the curtain, he thought that Ma Hongmei was already asleep, so he didn't say anything. But he didn't notice that through the gap in the curtain that had not been tightened, Ma Hongmei's bloodless face was half-concealed and half hidden.

Ma Weiguo walked around half of the room a few times, and suddenly thought of asking for some money to lay a solid economic foundation for his plan to defend Yang Duoduo. He walked to the curtain and called "Sister......", there was no response on the bed opposite, maybe someone was too dead, Ma Weiguo opened the curtain and walked in, walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer and prepared to find Li Hongxia's wallet. There was a medicine bottle on the bedside table, and a few eye-catching words came into Ma Weiguo's eyes - "sleeping pills", Ma Weiguo suddenly turned around as if he had been really pierced, and then realized that Ma Hongmei on the bed looked wrong, and there was no longer a little anger.

Ma Weiguo threw himself on the bed in shock, shook Ma Hongmei desperately, and kept shouting: "Sister, sister, wake up!" Ma Hongmei's body was soft, and there was no reaction at all, and fear hit Ma Weiguo, making him overwhelmed. Ma Jianshe and Ma Mu happened to be not at home, so Ma Weiguo had to test Ma Hongmei's snort and found that although Ma Hongmei had fallen asleep, she still had a breath. Among the people who pinched Ma Hongmei, it was useless; Slapping the face, it doesn't work. In a hurry, Ma Weiguo rushed to the kitchen, brought a basin of cold water, and poured it on Ma Hongmei's body. This trick really worked, and the icy cold water woke Ma Hongmei up and pulled her back from the brink of dying. Ma Hongmei opened her eyes weakly and saw Ma Weiguo standing in front of her, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Ma Weiguo didn't have time to ask the truth, so he picked up Ma Hongmei and prepared to run to the hospital, Ma Hongmei grabbed the door frame, wiped the water on her face, and said, "Don't tell Da, Mom!" As soon as he could say this, he lay on his brother's back and wept bitterly.

Ma Weiguo stopped and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's going on?" ”

"I have a baby."

Ma Weiguo froze.

From Ma Hongmei's mouth, Ma Weiguo learned that the child's father was Luo Gang, who had chased and beaten him on the street. And since the news of Ma Hongmei's pregnancy was confirmed, Luo Gang disappeared and threw a heavy burden on Ma Hongmei herself, overwhelming her until she wanted to end with death. Enraged, Ma Weiguo began to search for Luo Gang all over the city, making him responsible for his actions.

When night fell, a blackboard was erected at the door of the video hall, on which "The True Colors of Heroes", "Overlord Flower", "Soul Hooking Night", "Shaolin Temple", "Drunken Fist", "Police Story" and other Hong Kong films were written crookedly in colored chalk. Two cheap loud speakers maximize the noise, and the noise of "ping-pong" makes people unconsciously imagine the hot scene of a gunfight. If it were another day, Ma Weiguo couldn't help but sit down and watch a few wonderful films, but today he was not in the mood at all.

Ma Weiguo lifted the curtain and looked in, Chow Yun-fat's "The True Colors of Heroes" was playing on the TV on the high shelf in the house, and students and bastards were sitting on the hard wooden benches, and the workers in the factory were dark and damp in the turbid air mixed with the smell of cigarettes and stinky feet. Ma Weiguo walked quickly to the front, standing in front of the TV to find Luo Gang's figure, and the people who were blocked from sight whistled loudly and shouted: "Stand up a little hey!" ”

There is still no shadow of Luo Gang, Ma Weiguo was just about to leave, and the boss stood at the door and asked, "Do you want to watch that kind of film for a while?" ”

"Where's Luo Gang?" The boss shook his head. Ma Weiguo left without looking back.

A group of people gathered around the billiards case on the street, everyone was gambling, and a few incandescent lights hung overhead, illuminating the shiny, nervous, distorted faces. That's what the people of the town do to pass the long nights. Ma Weiguo squeezed into the crowd and saw Li Chunlei, who often mingled with Luo Gang, playing. At the moment he was blasting a rod with bare arms and bared teeth, and a shapeless eagle was tattooed on his back, which looked like a rooster.

Ma Weiguo stepped forward and asked expressionlessly, "Where is Luo Gang?" ”

Li Chunlei glanced at Ma Weiguo fixedly, and popped out a sentence: "Finish this fight!" ”

After finishing the sentence, Li Chunlei put down the club and squeezed out the crowd, followed by Ma Weiguo. Li Chunlei asked Ma Weiguo while getting dressed: "Do you know about Luo Gang and your sister?" ”

Ma Weiguo smoked a cigarette, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he didn't say a word.

Li Chunlei coughed dryly and said, "He went to Shenzhen!" "After that, he took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted it, there were probably dozens of yuan, gritted his teeth, and handed it all to Ma Weiguo." Luo just gave it to your sister. ”

Ma Weiguo burst out and opened Li Chunlei's hand and roared: "What kind of hooligan, what kind of righteousness." The money is yours, right? ”

Li Chunlei didn't bother to argue with him, threw the money on the ground, and said, "Love or not!" After that, he turned around and left, walked a few steps, turned around and came back, bent down to pick up the money, stuffed it into Ma Weiguo's hand, and said: "This thing is not done authentically, cowardice!" Sorry for your sister. With money, it can come in handy. ”

The corners of Ma Weiguo's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything.

In order to avoid being known by his parents, Ma Weiguo sent Ma Hongmei back to the dormitory from the hospital. There was no light in the room, the high and low beds were full of messy things, Ma Hongmei was looking out of the window with her head propped up, her eyes were empty, and she didn't realize that Ma Weiguo walked in. Ma Weiguo looked at his sister's face by the moonlight, and felt distressed, he walked over, sat next to Ma Hongmei, and said, "Sister, let's fight." ”

Ma Hongmei shook her head mechanically. Once this kind of thing gets out, it will be explosive news in the small town, and it will be the talk of people after tea and dinner in the next few months, not only will she have no face to live in this city, but even her parents and younger brother will not be able to raise their heads in front of people in the future. She has been sentenced to death by scandal, but she doesn't know how to die.

Ma Weiguo urged: "Go to the county health center, no one will know!" ”

Ma Hongmei shook her head again, she hadn't thought of this method. She took out a letter of introduction from under the pillow, pointed to the unit column above and said, "This red poke is my sister's face!" "If the unit is not stamped, the hospital will not do the abortion operation. In those days, there was no privacy. The unit is an enlarged family, that is, everyone's parents and guardians, and nothing can be done without the consent of the unit. The unit is the whole world of the individual's life, and the individual is a cog and a screw on the machine of the unit.

Ma Weiguo took the letter of introduction from Ma Hongmei's hand and pondered for a moment, "There is a way!" A glimmer of light flashed in Ma Hongmei's eyes, which was the light that rekindled the hope of life. Ma Weiguo remembered Yang Duoduo's family relationship.

Half an hour later, Ma Weiguo appeared under Yang Duoduo's window and roared, "I used to ask endlessly...... telling Yang Duoduo that he was here. Yang Duoduo opened the door and said to Ma Weiguo, who was squatting at the base of the wall, "Can you not sing in the future, your scalp is numb when you listen to it!" Ma Weiguo raised his face, Yang Duoduo found that he looked solemn and worried, it seems that now is not the time to joke, "Come in, my dad is not at home." ”

Ma Weiguo told Yang Duoduo everything about the matter. After all, Yang Duoduo has seen the big world, and he is not surprised, and he does not show surprise or disdain or schadenfreude like people in small places. She looked at Ma Weiguo calmly and said dryly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Steal your dad's official seal!"

Yang Duoduo thought for a while, nodded and said, "What else do you want me to do?" ”

Ma Weiguo didn't expect Yang Duoduo to be so refreshing, this girl is not simple, and this friend is worth it. A warm current of emotion surged through his heart, and he thought for a while and said, "Let's play a song!" The friendship between the two people was purified in that moment, becoming more solid, and the distance between hearts was shortened. Friends who can share hardships are true friends, in Ma Weiguo's eyes, Yang Duoduo is righteous enough!

Yang Duoduo understood Ma Weiguo's mood, walked to the table, and pressed the play button of the tape recorder. The prelude to BEYOND's "Goodbye Ideal" sounds, and the magnetic baritone is sent along with the melody, sad and agitated, full of vicissitudes and high spirits. ALTHOUGH MA WEIGUO COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT BEYOND WAS SINGING, THE UNIQUE MELODY INFECTED HIM, WHICH HAD A STRONG RESONANCE WITH HIS STATE OF MIND AT THIS MOMENT, AND UNCONSCIOUSLY, THERE WERE SOME TEARS IN HIS EYES.

Yang Duoduo saw it in her eyes, and said with some guilt: "Why is this song so appropriate, I'll change it to a cheerful one!" ”

Yang Duoduo was about to look for the tape after speaking, but his hand was grabbed by Ma Weiguo. "This song is good!"

"It's a Hong Kong rock band called 'BEYOND' and the song is called 'Goodbye Ideal.'" Yang Duoduo patiently educated Ma Weiguo in music, she did not break free of Ma Weiguo's tightly held hand, but let him hold it, and then asked: "Ma Weiguo, do you have ideals?" ”

Ma Weiguo hesitated, the question was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, he had fantasized about his future countless times, including becoming a singer, but every time it was casual and never serious. Now he has to face this question seriously for the first time, because this question was asked by Yang Duoduo. After a deep groan, Ma Weiguo nodded firmly.

Yang Duoduo asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

"Marry you!" Ma Weiguo said softly. He was also surprised that he could say so calmly, so frankly, and so straightforwardly, if it were in the past, he would not say this kind of thing easily. Perhaps it was the tragic emotions of today's catastrophe that made him let go of all his psychological burden and have the courage to say such straightforward words to Yang Duoduo.

Yang Duoduo withdrew his hand, smiled inexplicably, and threw down a sentence, "I don't like little kids." Ma Weiguo was a little injured and a little lost, but the situation in front of him did not give him time to savor the bitterness of broken love, he wanted to save his sister who had always loved him, loved him, spoiled him and protected him. He wants to shoulder this burden like a man and hold up a protective umbrella for the hard-working Ma Hongmei.

The two of them lay in front of the window, their faces in their hands, looking up at the starry sky, like two warriors about to join the battle enjoying the last peace. Yang Duoduo recited Beidao's "Answer" with expression:

New turnarounds and sparkling stars,

The sky is filling with no obstruction.

That's 5,000 years of hieroglyphs,

That's the gaze of people in the future.

Ma Weiguo said in surprise: "Have you also read Beidao's poems? ”

Yang Duoduo said disappreciatively: "Hey, look down on me? After a pause, she said to Ma Weiguo seriously: "It is said that 'if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing'." I believe that your sister will be happy after surviving this catastrophe! You have to encourage her, you have to hold on! ”

Ma Weiguo nodded vigorously, expressing his great determination to overcome all difficulties and strive for victory. At the same time, he was a little unwilling to be rejected by Yang Duoduo just now, and asked tentatively again: "Come with me to the end of the world, right?" Ma Weiguo suddenly had the urge to explore the world under the narrow night sky.

"No shoes." Yang Duoduo said mischievously.

"I'll carry you!"

"Don't buy me a pair...... What a pick! ”

Ma Weiguo was worried about being rejected again, so he hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the distance and said, "Look at that rainbow." ”

"It's a banner in the mall. In the middle of the night, what a rainbow! The two of them just talked and laughed casually, and the Pegasus acted unrestrainedly. Yang Duoduo told Ma Weiguo that this kind of impromptu and open sky chatter is called "Kan" in Beijing, and those who are particularly able to talk are called "Kanye".

Outside the house, Yang Shengli suddenly called Yang Duoduo's voice, Ma Weiguo was startled, and just wanted to open the window, but was pulled by Yang Duoduo. Yang Duoduo said calmly: "What are you afraid of? ”

Yang Duoduo opened the door, and there was Director Yang standing at the door, full of alcohol, who had just come back from a party outside, and was pulling an expressionless face, looking at Ma Weiguo. Ma Weiguo didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "Uncle." He slipped away from Yang Shengli's side.

Ma Weiguo walked out of the door with his head bowed like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, but as soon as he got out of the aisle, he jumped up happily, for his sister Ma Hongmei, and for his relationship with Yang Duoduo to become closer after this test. When he passed under Yang Duoduo's window, he raised his hand to say goodbye to Yang Duoduo. Yang Duoduo made a "V" gesture to express victory, reassuring Ma Weiguo that he would do what he said and would definitely complete the glorious and arduous task assigned by the organization.

What Ma Weiguo didn't notice was that Sihua was hiding in the corner, looking at Ma Weiguo's happy back and Yang Duoduo waving happily at the window, although he didn't know why they were so happy, what were the unsavory secrets in it, and he felt a little bad in his heart. He used the lipstick he had worked so hard to get and drew a long, blood-red line along the wall. That's what he was going to give to Yang Duoduo.
