Chapter 14: The Passionate Years

"Go back, don't catch a cold。。。。。。" Zhou Zhancai draped his coat on Yuhuan's shoulders from behind. Yuhuan turned his head and smiled, revealing a charming smile: "Thank you。。。。。。 ”

"What do you think?" Zhou Zhancai sat down next to Yuhuan and glanced at her. I found that she looked more beautiful and moving under the afterglow of the setting sun. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it again。。。。。。

"You and I meet on the jungle trail 。。。。。。" He finally spit out this poem, wanting to try her reaction, but she smiled slightly: "Great poet, poetry is flourishing again。。。。。。 ”

Zhou Zhancai was disappointed. He stood up and threw a pebble into the river, muttering in his mouth: "It's really intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless!" ”

He never thought that his "love letter" had been "hidden" by Li Yuehua, who had a crush on him! But he did not give up, and was determined to write another "love letter" with "action".

The next day, Yuhuan and the partners of the educated youth point were sitting in the field to study *** works, Pan Zhishu walked up to them with his hands behind his back, and coughed: "Everyone, pay attention, I announce a good news----" He put a piece of paper on top of his head, as if "** instructions", everyone invariably focused their eyes on his hand, although he was not tall, but at the moment it seemed to be much taller. Zhang Hao tiptoed behind him and snatched the piece of paper into his hand, Pan Zhishu turned his head and wanted to grab it, but he couldn't grab it, so he had to squat down. "After the commune's research, it was decided to give Yuejin Village educated youth a place to go to university." After reading it, Zhang Hao returned the document to Pan Zhishu. Pan Zhishu stood up and patted the soil on his buttocks, and said solemnly: "This is the concern of the commune party committee for our educated youth, and I propose that you recommend one person to go to university." ”

"I mention Sister Yuhuan," Sheng Xiaojun was the first to raise his hand to vote.

"I agree." Zhou Zhancai also raised his hand. An imperceptible expression passed over Li Yuehua's face.

"I agree." Zhang Hao commented: "Comrade Yuhuan is selfless. ”

"I don't agree," Li Yuehua looks like a political trial cadre: "Her family has historical problems. ”

"His father has been screened and rehabilitated." Zhou Zhancai defended Yuhuan, and he didn't even feel a little fever on his face.

"Okay, three of the five people elected Comrade Yuhuan." Pan Zhishu turned to Yuhuan, who had been silent.

"Thank you comrades for your trust, but," Yuhuan turned his face to Yuehua; "I feel that Comrade Yuehua is more suitable than me."

"I don't need you cat crying mouse fake mercy!" Yuehua said coldly with a raised face.

"Then it's a jade ring!" Pan Zhishu held up the notebook in his hand.

During this period, Yuhuan went home for a few days, thinking that after receiving the notice to go to college, she would go directly to college.

Yuhuan never expected that when she returned to the educated youth point, Pan Zhishu told her a surprising news: her application to go to college was "approved" by the commune to come back, the reason is that although her father took off the hat of a rightist, after all, he was not as good as Li Yuehua's "roots and seedlings", so this place to go to college fell on Yuehua's head。。。。。。

Fortunately, Zhou Zhancai's love for Yuhuan has not wavered, and later, after Zhou Zhancai returned to the city, he was assigned to the Organization Department after he was admitted to university, and arranged Yuhuan to work in the county cultural center through his father's relationship.

After Donglai replaced his father, he was assigned to the company's third warehouse, in charge of the storage and distribution of pump parts. His master's name is Lin Sumin, although he is a master, he is about the same age as him, with a medium build, and a pair of danfeng eyes flashing on his slightly chubby face. Although she is not highly educated and graduated from junior high school, she likes to read, especially literature.

She is the niece of Liu Changgui, deputy director of the Agriculture Bureau, but she never mentions it to anyone, and she seems very low-key.

Not only is she handsome, but she also has a smart mind. Where the machine parts are on the shelves, she can say that the score is exactly right.

Han Donglai was very humble to learn from his teacher and quickly mastered warehouse management techniques. He is very good at summarizing, and has improved the master's "first-in-first-out placement method", and formed a new type of placement method "three-dimensional placement method", and the master's face showed a surprised gaze.

She admired this new apprentice very much, he was educated, intelligent, and could write articles, she secretly read a few articles he wrote in the newspaper, although she liked this apprentice, but the shyness of women made her dare not even make a joke. But Han Donglai broke into her heart. It was his dream for several nights on end. I didn't dare to look at his face when I went to work, but I didn't see him for a while.

One day, when she was about to get off work, Donglai told her that he wanted to go home today, and she casually replied with a very ridiculous sentence: "Are you still coming back?", probably realizing her gaffe, she felt a fever on her face.

"The master is joking," he laughed, "I'm not going abroad, why don't I come back!" After that, I rode my bicycle home.

Seeing the back of Donglai and Fuyuan, Master Lin's heart was confused.

I didn't expect Donglai to come back early the next morning, and the master felt that they would meet again after a long absence. She brought Donglai a basin of water for him to wash his face and made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, master." Donglai is full of gratitude.

In the evening, after Donglai finished eating, she was about to go out for a walk, when she saw the master greet her: "Donglai ......" the affectionate title of the master surprised him.

"What's the matter, master?" Donglai asked.

"I want to ...... Go to the warehouse and count" Her face was as red as a ripe tomato: "You, can you be my companion?"

"The master's order, how can it not be reasonable." He made a joke.

When he came to the warehouse, he pulled the electric cord but the light didn't come on.

"There is no electricity today, you turn on the flashlight, I'll count the points." The master handed the flashlight to Jianqiu. Her voice was a little hurried.

He was so close to her that he could hear even his heartbeat. Through the flashlight, he suddenly discovered that his master was really a beauty; In particular, there is a beauty mole at the corner of the right mouth, which adds a feminine charm.

"Donglai, you go home this time...... Auntie is okay?" She counted the parts, but her spirit was here.

"She's fine, thank you, Master Li."

"Don't call me master, you look old." She glanced at Donglai.

"What do I call you?" Donglai asked.

"My name is Lin Sumin, so call me Sumin in the future."

"How rude." Donglai replied that he did not appreciate her inner world.

Lin Sumin had a crush on Donglai, but she didn't expect that there was a person who was crazy about falling in love with her too. He is Zhu Yongli, the bookkeeper of the financial department of the unit.

Zhu Yongli is a demobilized soldier who worked as a clerk in the army, not only writing fluently, but also writing love letters. It is said that he courted the regimental commander's daughter when he was in the army, and two letters made the regimental commander's daughter swoon. Later, after being discovered by the regiment commander, he severely reprimanded him, and then found a reason to "assign" him to the transport team.

After changing jobs, he entrusted his relationship to the finance department of the county production company. I can't imagine that there will be a "Sister Lin" falling from the sky. He once went to the warehouse to find a chance to talk to her, but Lin Sumin always ignored her. But he was not discouraged. Because, he has read many Chinese and foreign love masterpieces, and knows that "love requires patience" and "love is the collision of hearts", so he took out his "nirvana": writing love letters. He wrote several "sincere" love letters to the "intended person". This love letter can be said to be a collection of the essence of foreign famous love letters, if the other party is unmoved, he Qi Yongli swore to "put pen to paper" from now on.

To tell the truth, these letters are more "sincere" than the love letters written to the head of the regiment's daughter, and he even shed a few tears of emotion for this. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened: three days later, he received a letter from the other party, with only one line on it: I'm sorry, we are not suitable. This is really miserable for him, a veteran of the love field who has been in love for a long time! Strange to say, our protagonist is not only not lost, but in good spirits - didn't the psychology of love say? --Love is an art. Does a line on the other side reveal a message: there are still many "blanks" between them that need to be filled? After repeated analysis, he concluded that someone must be obstructing it. So, who could this person be? He analyzed them one by one, and in the end, locked the "suspect" on Donglai. Donglai is a high school graduate, talented, and has a master-apprentice relationship with Lin Sumin. By the way, the last time he went to the warehouse to reconcile, he always felt that her eyes were a little special when she looked at Donglai, but what kind of psychology did she have towards him? It needs to be examined.

One day, Zhu Yongli went to the warehouse to reconcile accounts, and Donglai was the only one who came.

"Xiao Han, are you busy?" Zhu Yongli tried his best to put a smile on his eyelids.

"I'm not busy, Mr. Zhu, please take a seat." Donglai beckoned Zhu Yongli to sit down.

"Thank you." Zhu Yongli put the ledger on the warehouse desk. He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket. "Smoke, please?" Zhu Yongli handed Donglai a cigarette.

"I don't smoke, thank you." Donglai waved his hand and pointed to the opposite side. Zhu Yongli looked back and saw the words "Warehouse Heavy Land, Strictly Prohibiting Fireworks" written on the door of the warehouse opposite.

"I'm sorry." Zhu Yongli smiled apologetically and snuffed out the cigarette butt.

"Please drink water, Mr. Zhu." Donglai handed Zhu Yongli a glass of water.

"Thank you." Zhu Yongli took the teacup and played: "What, Su Min didn't go to work today?" He deliberately said the word "Su Min", implying that his relationship with Lin Su Min was different. He said the word "Su Min" and kept his eyes on each other to capture the other person's inner activities.

"Who?" Donglai asked incomprehensibly. After a while, he suddenly realized: "Did you say it was Master Li?" She went to Warehouse 3 to take inventory. ”

"Oh," Zhu Yongli took a sip of tea. From the other party's reaction just now, he preliminarily concluded that nothing happened between him and her, but in order to "prevent it from happening", it is necessary to give him a "preventive shot." ”

"Xiao Han, do you think the work is smooth?" Zhu Yongli had a concerned face.

"It's okay," he replied casually, "Master Li has helped me a lot." ”

Donglai didn't notice that at this moment, an imperceptible expression passed over the other party's face.

"That's good." Zhu Yongli got up from the chair, picked up the account book, made a gesture of leaving, and suddenly sat down again: "Xiao Han, you probably know my relationship with your master, right?" β€œ

"What's the relationship?" He's such a nerd.

Xiao Han didn't explain again, he patted him on the shoulder meaningfully: "I'm leaving." ”

The next morning, he told Master Li about Zhu Yongli looking for her.

Lin Sumin did not answer. Liangqing, as if she remembered something: "Yesterday, Director Zhou of the office gave us a technician position in the warehouse, and I recommended you." ”

"No, no," Donglai said embarrassedly, "whether in terms of qualifications or working years, this quota should be you." ”

"Oh, don't push it......" she instinctively touched his hand, her face flushed. She grabbed a form from the drawer: "Now you fill it out." ”

He took the form, looked at it, and wanted to push it, but saw Lin Sumin looking at him with a pair of charming big eyes, Donglai's heart moved, and he felt hot on his face.

"I'm okay, right?" He handed the completed form to Master Li.

Lin Sumin took the form: "Your handwriting is awesome!" Probably realizing that her compliment was too obvious, she felt a fever on her face.

In the afternoon, Donglai wrote the "Work Report", which involved the column of "Technical Achievements". "Master Li, how do you write about this technical achievement?" Lin Sumin thought for a while and said, "You forgot, didn't you invent the 'three-dimensional placement method'?" ”

"Thank you, Master Lin." He said excitedly, and suddenly stopped his pen again: "This invention also has half of yours, and your name should also be written on it." ”

"I don't want my name, I just want ......," she glanced at him, her face flushing.

"What do you want?" He asked, puzzled.

Lin Sumin lowered his head and braided his black hair: "Oh, don't ask." ”

The next day, he handed over the Technician Declaration Form to the company's office. After reading his "Work Report", Director Zhou said, "It's well written, it's a talent." ”

In the afternoon, Donglai and Master Lin sorted out the machine parts on the shelves. He had always been very aggressive, and as a result, his cuffs were covered in grease.

"Look at you, so careless, lo and behold, your clothes are dirty." Master Lin said reproachfully.

"Nothing," he said nonchalantly, "it's my overalls." ”

"Take off your clothes and I'll wash you." Master Lin forgot about the shyness of women for a while.

"W-that's embarrassing." After he took off his coat, Master Lin asked him to change into a suit. Master Lin looked embarrassed at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "I bought it for my brother, let you change it temporarily, and I didn't give it to you."

At this moment, Uncle He, the doorman, led a woman wearing sunglasses and dressed up to enter the time, saying that she was coming to find Han Donglai's master.

Han Donglai walked to the door and was stunned: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for a writer from Handa." The other party took off his sunglasses, turned his face up, and spoke in a non-standard Cantonese: "Now you know who I am, right?" ”

"Jiang Feng, it turned out to be you," Donglai laughed out loud: "I thought it was a returned overseas Chinese!"

"Han University writer, I'm here to admire," Jiang Feng took out a copy of "October" magazine from his bag and turned to the page of the novel published on Donglai: "It's not an exaggeration to call you a great writer, right?"

Lin Sumin curiously snatched the magazine and flipped through it, her face flushed, as if she knew Donglai for the first time, and glanced at his amazing "apprentice" with admiration.

Donglai naturally couldn't guess what the master was thinking at the moment, so he introduced to Master Lin: "Master Lin, let me introduce you, she is my high school classmate, named Jiang Feng, a college student at the Provincial University of Political Science and Law. ”

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Master Lin glanced at the female classmate from the east, and a mood intertwined with envy and inferiority caught her: "Going to college is my dream in this life, I really envy you!" ”

"Actually, there's nothing to envy," Jiang Feng glanced at Donglai: "If you say envy, I envy you for having such a colleague as a writer from Han University." Saying unintentionally, listening to the heart, Jiang Feng didn't expect this sentence to make Master Lin's face blush like a ripe red apple, and she subconsciously buried her head.

"Jiang Feng, after you graduate from college, are you going to stay in school or be assigned to the next side?" Donglai broke the awkward atmosphere.

"I plan to take the lawyer exam, and after I have some experience, I will open a law firm." Jiang Fengxue shrugged his shoulders and replied heartily.

"Then if I have a lawsuit in the future, I won't look for anyone else." Donglai also shrugged his shoulders and teased Jiang Feng to lean forward and back together; She raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "Great writer, are you willing to have lunch with your old classmates at noon?" ”

Han Donglai instinctively turned his face to his side, and found that Master Lin had left at some point.

"Okay, are you giving Xiaoqiang a call?" Donglai asked a little "uninteresting".

"In addition to inviting you to dinner, I have something else, Xiaoqiang will invite you later." Jiang Feng said bluntly. She suddenly remembered something: "I haven't been in touch for the past two years, where is An Xiaoqiang high now?" ”

"He now works in the county." Han Donglai took off his suit and put it on the back of his chair.

"Why do you take it off, you're dressed pretty handsome!" Jiang Feng straightened his collar: "There is a tie missing." ”

"Don't joke, this is my master's brother's suit." Han Donglai said with a red face.

"I see." Jiang Feng said sourly: "It seems that your master is quite interested in you!" ”
