Chapter 4: The Imprint of the Heart

One day in May 1974, after the class bell rang, the head teacher walked to the podium with the textbook in his hand, and the class leader shouted: "Stand up, sit down!" The students stood up and sat down.

The head teacher opened the textbook and said slowly: "Students, today we are studying the article of the little hero Liu Wenxue. ”

The teacher spoke in this class with emotion, and some girls even cried. The story goes like this:

One morning in June, lightning flashed and thundered. Liu Wenxue remembered that the window of the classroom was not closed, so he put a plastic sheet on his head without eating, and hurried to the classroom, when he passed by a cornfield, he found that a figure was shaking, so he tiptoed to the person, and found that it was Liu Yucai, the big ** of the village, who was stealing the corn of the production team, Liu Wenxue was suddenly furious, and he shouted: "Stinky **! Liu Yucai hurriedly ran away with the corn, Liu Wenxue rushed to him, hugged his leg tightly, Liu Yucai saw that he couldn't escape, so he took out a fruit knife from his body and stabbed Liu Wenxue in the back。。。。。。 In this way, the little hero Liu Wenxue sacrificed his precious life to protect public property. When the Chinese teacher said this, a classmate shouted: "Don't forget the bitterness, remember the hatred!" The students also chanted slogans.

"Okay, today we invited Secretary Lu of the Party Committee of the Commune to give us a report, and the students applauded and welcomed!" The head teacher will wave his left hand.

"This class is good and timely!" Jin Ling's uncle, Lu Yongping, deputy secretary of the commune party committee--- applauded, walked up to the podium, and made a "report": "Students, the summer vacation is coming soon, and I will assign an essay to the students, the topic is: Learn from heroes, see action. I hope there will be a dozen Liu Wenxue this holiday! ”

After Secretary Lu finished speaking, the head teacher spoke: "Students, Secretary Lu is on behalf of the commune party committee to arrange this essay is very meaningful. I suggested that our class be divided into ten groups, two people each, and they could be freely combined. The task of these ten groups was to take turns tending to the crops, especially to prevent the enemy from destroying collective property.

Donglai and Fugui were divided into a group. After dinner, Fugui took two slingshots in his hands and handed them to Donglai; Donglai was curious: "Are you nervous?" Where to shoot birds at night? Fugui didn't answer, and pulled Donglai to sneak into a corner.

"What are you doing here?" Donglai kicked Fugui.

"Shh Fugui put his index finger to his lips, motioned to whisper, and instinctively stared at the opposite side.

Donglai followed Fugui's eyes, and it turned out that Fugui was staring at the gate of Yuhou, the main road in the village.

Donglai turned around to leave, but was pulled by Fugui. Donglai didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he squatted under the corner.

About two hours passed, the door "creaked" open, Fugui patted Donglai, Donglai yawned, and was about to speak, but Fugui covered his mouth. Donglai looked at the gate opposite, only to see a figure flash from the gate, and immediately shot out a beam of light--- which was the light from the flashlight, and then a person pulled a row of cars, which seemed to have grain bags on it.

"Keep up!" Fugui poked Donglai, and Donglai followed Fugui to track the ground row car in front. Donglai already understood what Fugui wanted to do.

When he came to a cornfield, Donglai thought that the cart would be pulled into the field, but strangely, the cart stopped at the entrance of the commune hospital: an old lady stepped down from the cart, and it turned out that Lu Yuhou was pulling her mother-in-law to see a doctor!

Fugui said like a deflated ball: "It seems that it can't be Liu Wenxue!" ”

Donglai yawned: "Go back, trap me!" ”

The summer vacation has passed, and the students have started a new semester. The class teacher asked each group to report on the situation of "learning heroes, seeing action" during the holiday. To the disappointment of the head teacher, there was not a single "Liu Wenxue" in more than 20 groups!

At this moment, the big * main road Yuhou was pushed into the classroom by the five flowers, followed by Jin Ling.

"What's going on?" The head teacher asked Jin Ling.

So, Jin Ling rendered the "heroic deeds" of his own struggle against Lu Yuhou during the holiday, and the head teacher couldn't help but applaud, and the class also resounded with sparse applause.

It turned out that during the summer vacation, Jin Ling and another classmate were also monitoring Lu Yuhou's every move at all times, although they did not find the "criminal evidence" of Lu Yuhou's destruction of collective property, but accidentally found the "criminal evidence" that he burned paper and cursed the new society.

When the head teacher heard this, he angrily scolded Lu Yuhou: "Why don't you die of a thief? ”

"I don't have 。。。。。。。" Du Yuhou shouted grievances: "My wife died of a heart attack, I burned paper for her and let her go all the way。。。。。。 ”

Only then did Donglai remember that night when he and Fugui followed Lu Yuhou together, so he raised his hand and said to the head teacher: "Fugui and I saw that he did go to the hospital。。。。。。 ”

"He's talking nonsense!" Jin Ling hurriedly pulled his white face: "His family and the big * master wear a pair of pants!" ”

"Han Donglai, you write a profound review after school until I am satisfied!" The head teacher said with a serious face.

In the evening, Chunhua thought about Donglai after eating, so she came to Donglai's house, and saw that Donglai had not returned home, guessing that Donglai was still writing a review at school, so she secretly took a cake from home, rolled some shredded potatoes, wrapped it in a lotus leaf, and walked to the school.

When he walked to the school, he saw that the school was black and empty, and only the academic affairs office had a cover light.

Chunhua walked into the academic affairs office gently, and sure enough, she saw Donglai writing something on the desk---- it must be "Review"!

Chunhua coughed. Donglai didn't respond. Chunhua coughed loudly again, and Donglai raised her head.

"Chunhua, why are you here!" Donglai asked in surprise.

"I 。。。。。。" Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then placed the cake on his table.

Donglai took the cake, and he didn't say much, saying that he would eat it in a big bite。。。。。。。 Looks like he's really hungry!

"Slow down, don't choke!" Chunhua poured a glass of water for him to drink.

"Thank you!" Donglai took it and took a big sip.

。。。。。。

In the second half of 1975, Donglai's father "implemented the policy" and arranged to work in the county's production company from other places. Dad transferred him from Xingfuhe Primary School to Xiguan Primary School in the county, and his mother stayed in Xingfu Village temporarily because of his grandmother's poor health.

When Dong-rae reveals the news to Chunhua after school, Chunhua turns around and covers her face. After a while, she wiped her tears and asked in a low voice, "Are you still back?" ”

"I 。。。。。。" Xiao Donglai choked up, he tried not to let the tears flow, but the tears were still disobedient。。。。。。

Although both of them are only eleven or twelve years old, they still don't understand the meaning of the word "feelings", but why is one party so reluctant to leave!

Liangqing, Xiao Donglai took "Red Rock" out of his schoolbag: "I'm leaving, I'll give it back to you。。。。。。 ”

Chunhua didn't answer, she lowered her head: "Give it to you, leave a souvenir。。。。。。 "Spring flowers' beautiful big eyes are filled with tears.

"Then I'll give you a souvenir too." Donglai gave the book "How Steel is Made" sent by the eldest sister from other places to Chunhua.

Chunhua took it and held it in her arms, tears sliding down her cheeks。。。。。。
