Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 63 New Dreams
Holding a bulging file bag in his hand, Liu Xiaonan stood at the gate of the factory, waiting for Gu Yu to leave work.

After returning from National Day, Gu Yu served as the general secretary of the factory group, and their love story was widely circulated in the factory.A young female cadre with a promising future in a high-level job, and the other a farmer rotation worker, the most impossible becomes possible, becoming a good story, a beautiful story, and a legend.

During this period, the workshop wanted to transfer Liu Xiaonan to Changbai shift to do some light work.Liu Xiaonan politely declined, living in a dormitory is no better than living in her own home, and there is not enough time for writing in the long day shift. Sincerely for his own good, please don't transfer his work.

This is indeed the case, but it does not rule out subconsciously keeping a certain distance from Gu Yu.

Liu Xiaonan's move undoubtedly enhanced Gu Yu's reputation. Gu Yu did not interfere with his choice, and no longer emphasized the synchronization of their work and rest time.They had very little dating time, and they only met once in Gu Yu's office.

It was the middle shift and the night shift that day, and there was a whole day of free time during the day, but it was not Sunday, Gu Yu was still working, and dating was impossible.In the afternoon, a young man from the Youth League Committee came to the dormitory to look for Liu Xiaonan, and said that Gu Yu was looking for him.

Liu Xiaonan followed the young man to Gu Yu's office, and Gu Yu handed him a letter of proposal, saying that he wanted to see his calligraphy.

Pen, ink and paper have already been prepared, it seems that Gu Yu has already calculated his shift.Several young girls and young men from the Youth League Committee gathered around Gu Yu, wanting to get to know the rural young man who made their leaders fascinated.

Liu Xiaonan was not humble either. She laid out the red paper, dipped the brush in the ink and hung her wrist, holding her breath, walking with a brush vigorously and steadily, and wrote the next line of thick ink and heavy handwriting.

After writing a proposal, Liu Xiaonan raised her head and asked Gu Yu, "Is the leader satisfied?"

Before Gu Yu could reply, those subordinates applauded and praised continuously.Gu Yu's eyes showed admiration, but his tone was very flat: "You can lie on the bed and write novels, but you can't practice calligraphy while lying down?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "My brush calligraphy is only at the level of writing Spring Festival couplets, and I don't want to be a calligrapher. I usually practice with a brush dipped in water on the concrete floor of the dormitory. I only use it during the Spring Festival. The villagers are satisfied with it. "

Gu Yu looked like he was doing business: "In the future, you will be responsible for this kind of work, and you will use your spare time. I believe you will support the work of the Youth League Committee."

Liu Xiaonan wanted to say that he would like to do the work of a dog and a horse.But this is in the office, during working hours, and there are people watching.He said: "On call, absolutely support."

After writing the remaining proposals, Liu Xiaonan wanted to go back, but Gu Yu said that he still had something to discuss with him.Those subordinates wisely took the proposal and posted it, and closed the door behind them.

Gu Yu pushed Liu Xiaonan into her office chair and sat down, then sat across from him and asked softly, "How do you feel?"

Liu Xiaonan looked around the office and said: "Stylish! You are born with extraordinary leadership and commanding abilities. Independent office, large desk, advanced theoretical books, a full range of newspapers on newspaper racks, filing cabinets, file cabinets, They all match your temperament very well. I feel dizzy sitting here, and my buttocks are hot."

Gu Yu ignored Liu Xiaonan's mocking tone, and looked very serious: "If I gave you a dream when you were a teenager, then I will give you another dream now. I hope that one day, you can also have such an office."

Liu Xiaonan was so shocked that she lost her ability to judge, was Gu Yu joking?Obviously not, Gu Yu is serious.Gu Yu sitting in the office is completely different from the "peasant woman" who grew sweet potatoes on the mountain a few days ago.

That morning, the four of them brought out a cart of sweet potatoes, and Liu Xiaonan delivered them all to Guan Xiaoyun's house.When I got home, my parents had already prepared things for Gu Yu to take away: freshly ground rice, millet and some whole grains.

There are too many things, and it takes a lot of effort just to move them in and out of the car. He thought Gu Yu would reject them, but Gu Yu accepted them all.Mother took out a flower handkerchief with 200 yuan wrapped in it, and put it in Gu Yu's hand.The mother explained that this is an old rule, and you have to give money to the family before marriage.

Gu Yu accepted it as usual, which made his parents very happy.Gu Yu as the "peasant woman" is cute.

Back in Bincheng, unload rice, millet and whole grains at the gate of the factory.Gu Yu entered the factory and made a phone call, a car drove up after a while, and he and the driver loaded those things into the car.Before getting into the car, Gu Yu pulled him aside to say sorry, she couldn't take him home for the time being to meet her parents.

Of course he could understand the whole story, and felt extremely relaxed.To put it bluntly, love is one thing, being qualified for love is another, and whether she can be accepted by her family is even more unknown.

He has never uttered the word "love" to Gu Yu. Love is sacred, and if you say it, you have to be responsible to the end. Does he have the qualifications?Gu Yu said that he was weak in heart, how can he not be weak?He hasn't completely freed himself from the frustration of his crush on Wu Yanli, let alone facing Gu Yu who can only look up to him.

Just as a boyhood friend, he can do whatever he wants.But it's different now, everyone in the factory is watching his every move.He never took the initiative to find Gu Yu, all he could use to protect himself was to stick to himself.In the words of Mr. Guan, this is also a kind of character.

But now, what Gu Yu gave him was not a new dream, but a greater pressure.

Liu Xiaonan patted the armrest of Gu Yu's leather office chair and said, "To be honest, I never thought about what you said. I am an ordinary person, and I love dealing with ordinary people. They are full of enthusiasm and live a down-to-earth life. The source of writing. Look at those people under your hand, laughing and laughing and doing nothing, no one can afford a small writing brush? How do they get up by occupying the latrine without shitting? "

Gu Yu said: "Don't worry about how you got here, because there are too few people with real talents and knowledge, you have the opportunity. In the past, whenever you had a job with a brush, you had to ask the old comrades of the trade union to help. You are different from them. You You are an all-rounder, and a smooth road is in front of you. If someone occupies a latrine and refuses to poop, you pry him down. You are a farmer, and you are afraid of being stained with stinky dung soup?"

Liu Xiaonan was amused by Gu Yu's description, an unstoppable desire slowly grew in her heart.He said: "The first dream has not been realized yet, how can we drop the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?"

"There is no difference between watermelon and sesame, and the two dreams can go hand in hand." Gu Yu was a little excited, and changed another topic in a timely manner: "My parents love to eat the whole grains I brought home. They said that a relative in the countryside is also very happy." Good. They have also read your novels, especially "Jingjun Ji". My father did not forget that you caught an old turtle for him and relieved the attack of high blood pressure. He said, at that time, it depends on how different you are, You deserved to be my boyhood friend and you still deserve to be my boyfriend. Do you know what I mean?"

This is to agree in principle that Gu Yu will continue to communicate with him, and having an office is the qualification for love.Liu Xiaonan said: "The road is long, I don't know how to search up and down."

"I will be your guide." Gu Yu further guided: "Suppose you are my leader now, try to arrange a job for me to find the feeling of being a leader."

Liu Xiaonan looked at the door of the office, leaned back in his chair and said, "Comrade Gu Yu, can you give me a kiss?"

"Good leader, stick your head over here." When Liu Xiaonan leaned on the desk and stretched out her head over, Gu Yu grabbed his ear, put her head on his head and said, "I know you like to be independent, such a choice is very important. You wish. However, if you have the courage to do things well that you don’t like, then you are a real man. Think about your family, think about the promise you want to fulfill, only if you succeed, can you help your family get out of trouble; think again Thinking of your uncle, thinking of your grandma saying that I am like your uncle, not for anything else but for love."

For the sake of love, Liu Xiaonan accepted Gu Yu's suggestion. Although she was still doing ordinary shift work, she was secretly working hard.Another novel has a mature idea, and he wants to write it all at once, but the dormitory does not have such conditions.

I write intermittently, my thoughts are often interrupted, and I feel wrong, and I often fall into chaos, so I think of Gu Yu's house.After the night shift today, he got enough sleep during the day and wanted to borrow a house from Gu Yu.

People from the day shift poured into the factory gate, and a few young girls from the youth league committee saw Liu Xiaonan, surrounded him and laughed and made fun of him.Liu Xiaonan was powerless to resist, so he could only pretend to be stupid and deal with it in a daze.

The flow of people gradually thinned out, and Gu Yu came out of the factory. She saw Liu Xiaonan holding a portfolio in his hand, and knew that he was looking for her, but she didn't know what he wanted to do.

Gu Yu walked to Liu Xiaonan's side, and said to the little girls, "You're bullying honest people again, aren't you?"

The little girls said: "How dare you! We are watching him for you, not letting other little girls seduce him."

Gu Yu stared at the file bag in Liu Xiaonan's hand, and asked him, "What are you holding?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "A few manuscript papers. I want to find a quiet place, use these two days to make a surprise attack, and finish a new work, so I have to come to you."

"So it's a date!" The little girls laughed and walked away discussing.

These little girls are laughing and laughing on the surface, but they are all intrigues behind their backs. They all have their own origins, and none of them are easy to provoke.Now, they regard Liu Xiaonan as a common threat.

Gu Yu thought, in the future, she should prepare more manuscript paper at home, or buy a briefcase for Xiaonan.If you always come to yourself with a file bag, others will mistakenly think that you have to deal with personal matters such as personnel transfers, no matter whether it is true or not, the impact will always be bad.

The two found a small restaurant on the street, ate something casually, and then came to Gu Yu's residence.As soon as they entered the door, the two hugged each other tightly, releasing their emotional hunger to their heart's content.I haven't seen each other for many days, and I miss you so much.

Liu Xiaonan suddenly pushed Gu Yu away forcefully and said, "Go back to your parents' house, just leave me here alone."

Gu Yu froze for a moment, then protested: "This is my home, okay, why do you drive me away?"

Liu Xiaonan said: "I can't write with peace of mind if you stay here, and I don't have time to talk with you."

"That's because your concentration is not strong, so you can't blame me." Gu Yu went into the room and changed her clothes, and when she came out, she asked Liu Xiaonan, "What do you need me to prepare for you?"

"A bottle of pen water." Liu Xiaonan walked into the small room as if fleeing, spread out the manuscript paper, and put two pens on it.

Changing out of a well-regulated formal suit, he changed into a casual home outfit full of personality. Gu Yu, who showed his youthful charm and tension to the fullest, dazzled him a little.

Gu Yu brought a bottle of pen water, brewed a pot of tea, rubbed Liu Xiaonan's head and said, "Hongxiu Tianxiang reads at night. You are not willing to do something that others can only dream of. I really want to see with my own eyes how you write. "

Liu Xiaonan picked up a pen and wrote the five titles "Land of Immortality" in the middle of the manuscript paper, and gradually blocked the information about Gu Yu in her brain, entering her own spiritual world.The brushwork is like flying, the strokes are concise and indulgent, and the handwriting is as continuous as flowing clouds and flowing water, and there is a tendency to do whatever you want in one go.

Gu Yu stood beside Liu Xiaonan and looked at it for a while, but could not understand the contents of the handwriting, turned around and left silently.She lay down comfortably on the sofa in the living room, did not turn on the TV, just flipped through a magazine at random, and did not feel bored.

For so many years, she has been looking forward to someone who can walk into her spiritual world and fill her heart up.The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but the man was a wild boy from the countryside who fell from the sky.

He is still immature and rough, but he is constantly improving himself and trying to create his own life and world.His future is a mystery, unlike what he has planned a long time ago, there is no motivation and freshness.Instead of being a bystander, it is better to go hand in hand with him. Isn't this another kind of challenge and another kind of success?
Gu Yu didn't bother Liu Xiaonan, and Liu Xiaonan didn't call her.She didn't feel lonely, and the sound of pens brushing and walking on manuscript paper was always echoing in her ears, like a warm, stable and abundant atmosphere surrounding her, nourishing and soothing her heart like a piece of light music, her big house No longer empty.

It was late at night, and Liu Xiaonan was still writing hard in the small room.

Gu Yu walked in gently, and she saw that Liu Xiaonan had filled a manuscript paper, a pen had dried up the ink, and the tea had run out.She filled the pen with ink, held Liu Xiaonan's head in her arms, and said softly, "Don't be too tired, it's time to rest."

Leaning against Gu Yu, Liu Xiaonan closed her eyes for a while, flexed her wrist and said, "I'm writing on my head, full of emotions, when I'm sleepy and when I'm going to sleep. You go to rest, you have to get up early for work tomorrow, don't worry about me .”

Gu Yu kissed Liu Xiaonan: "I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow morning, so you can rest easy. I'll leave you a key, and you can go out to buy some food by yourself at noon. Don't leave until I come back from get off work."

Liu Xiaonan agreed, stood up, stretched her waist, did a few push-ups, and sat down at the desk again.

Gu Yu went back to her room and lay down, the light from the desk lamp in the opposite room prompted her to reflect on herself: Is it too selfish and cruel?He is so pure and simple, so real and lovely, why do you have to transform him according to your own ideas?
