Lianliankan

Chapter 71

The villagers in Wujiatun have discovered a strange thing in recent days. Zhang Erbiao, the captain who has always been unscrupulous, is extraordinarily generous and polite to the new educated youths.

In the past, this was almost unimaginable, because in the past Zhang Erbiao always relied on his status as the captain to firmly control the distribution rights of a group of materials in Wujiatun, and often used this to make profits for his family or make waves.

For example, during the spring plowing last year, Liu Damin from the village offended Zhang Erbiao because of his quarrel, so he was assigned to plow the land. Then he forced Liu Damin to work in the field with a hoe for several days on the pretext that the cattle were sick.

It wasn't until the fourth day that someone found Liu Damin fainted in the field from exhaustion, almost dying, Zhang Erbiao was willing to give up easily.

In short, after this incident, while everyone was more afraid of Zhang Erbiao, they also understood one thing, the cattle are a big killer in his hands.

But it was such a person who for the first time distributed the cattle to the educated youths from the city and let them go to open up wasteland, which made the villagers very puzzled.

So, along with this incident came all kinds of rumors and gossip.

Some people said that this was Zhang Erbiao's conscience discovery, but this statement was quickly overturned on the grounds that dogs can't change eating shit.Some people also said that there were important people among the educated youths, and the reason was that they saw Zhang Laosan nodding and bowing to a young man, honestly like a third grandson.Others said that Zhang Laosan fell in love with a female educated youth and wanted to beg her to be his son's wife.

Anyway, for a while, there was everything to say, but there was one thing that was unanimously approved by the villagers in Wujiatun, that is, this group of new educated youths were not easy to mess with.

Zhao Ye didn't know about these rumors yet, but even if he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't realize it, because he was holding the plow right now, plowing the ground in full swing.

For him who was new to this job, this kind of thing was really embarrassing, so much so that he could hear his impotent rage from time to time in the wasteland to the north of Wujiatun.

"I said Huang Xinhua, you're leading the cow and walking in a straight line. Didn't you see all the pears passing here?"

"Hey, slow down, the pear is not stuck in the soil!"

Seeing Zhao Ye flustered and embarrassed, Gao Xiaoqin, who was standing not far away watching the scene, let out a smile like a silver bell, and even Zhou Rong, who always had a cold face, pursed her lips and smiled from time to time, obviously very happy See the enemy deflated.

Seeing that Zhou Rong seemed to be in a good mood today, Gao Xiaoqin inquired: "Hey, Zhou Rong, what's the matter with you and Zhao Ye? Didn't it mean that you knew each other since childhood?"

Thinking of getting along well with Gao Xiaoqin these days, Zhou Rong confided her grievances after a moment of hesitation, during which she must have accused Zhao Ye.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaoqin frowned after hearing this, and said, "Zhou Rong, don't think I'm troublesome. I think what Zhao Ye did is a bit unethical, but you have a lot of problems as well."

"What's wrong with me? Do you also think that I shouldn't pursue my own happiness?"

Gao Xiaoqin said tactfully: "I'm not saying that you shouldn't pursue your own happiness, but in the process, do you have to consider your parents' feelings?"

Zhou Rong was startled when she heard the words, and then said stubbornly: "Yes, I admit that I shouldn't deliberately hide this matter from my family. But I also have my own difficulties. I am afraid that they will have prejudices against Hua Cheng and are unwilling to fulfill us. .”

Gao Xiaoqin opened her mouth, but couldn't hold back what was in her heart after all: "Then have you ever thought about it seriously, if... I mean, if that Feng Huacheng is not what you think, what should you do? ?”

Zhou Rong blurted out without thinking: "Impossible! Hua Cheng is the most ideal partner in my mind. I can feel from the lines in his poems that he is a person with ideals, ambitions and noble morals. I don't allow you to talk about him like that, even if you think about it!"

Saying that, Zhou Rong threw the hoe in her hand to the ground, turned her head and walked towards the village, ignoring the stunned Gao Xiaoqin behind her.

"How about it, have you hit a snag?"

Gao Xiaoqin looked around, and saw Zhao Ye came a few steps in front of her at some point, looking at her gloatingly.

"Scared me, why do you make no sound when you walk?"

Gao Xiaoqin patted her sizable chest, complained casually, and suddenly noticed Zhao Ye's thieves eyes, aiming randomly at her, and immediately got angry and kicked her up.

"Where are you looking? Shame on you?"

Zhao Ye knew he was in the wrong, so he had to get kicked solidly, and then rubbed his calf pretending to be wronged and explained: "It's not my fault, who made you beautiful! If you look like Wu Mangui and his wife If you don’t pick a dog or chew it, even if you invite me to watch it, I’m not interested in it!”

Thinking of Wu Mangui's wife's bucket-thick waist and her exposed big buck teeth, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help laughing and said:

"Hurry up and build some morals! I don't care about talking about you, why once something comes into your mouth, it will change immediately, can't you be serious?"

However, Zhao Ye said righteously: "What do you know! I'm making fun of suffering, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude, and always ready to throw my head and blood for the cause of revolution!"

"You're gasping for fat! Just like you, it would be nice not to be Zhigao Pu Zhigao, and throwing your head and blood, you will really put gold on your face!"

"Comrade Gao Xiaoqin, I have to criticize you for this. How can you casually attack the ideals of an aspiring young man! This kind of behavior is too inconsistent with socialist values."

During the bickering, Gao Xiaoqin suddenly noticed that the back of Zhao Ye's cotton-padded jacket was wet a lot, and couldn't bear to pass her the towel over, and said with concern: "Hurry up and wipe off your sweat, don't catch a cold!"

Zhao Ye politely refused: "No, I have it myself."

"Don't mention your towel, do you smell it? It's all rotten!"

Zhao Ye wasn't embarrassed at all, and said casually, "I'll wash it when I get back today."

Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help but stuffed the towel into Zhao Ye's hand, and said with disgust: "Hey, do you think you boys are lazy? Last night when I was having dinner, Han Jianguo passed by me, and the smell suffocated me, almost I even spit out the last night's meal. What do you think, it doesn't take much effort to wash it!"

Zhao Ye sighed and said, "We can't blame us, it's almost April, and our land hasn't been plowed yet, if we miss the time for planting, we will be hungry next year.

In this case, why don't you put your life into it?You said that you are exhausted every day, and you want to fall asleep as soon as you hit the ground. Who has the leisure to pay attention to personal hygiene. "

These words seemed to arouse Gao Xiaoqin's sadness, she looked towards the sky with red eyes and said: "Zhao Ye, what do you think is a head in such a day?"

"What, homesick?"

"Well, I think my parents, my eldest brother and my second sister, how are they doing now?"

"It's okay, I'm just homesick. What's the big deal? I'll take you back to Jichun by bicycle to have a look after I finish my work in two days!"

Not wanting to hear this, Gao Xiaoqin suddenly lost control of her emotions and squatted on the ground, crying loudly, causing Huang Xinhua and others who were working in the field to look here.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye scolded: "Whatever you look at, work hard for me!"

After finishing speaking, he came to Gao Xiaoqin and squatted down, jokingly said: "I'm not a child anymore, why do you still cry because you miss home, and you're not afraid of people laughing at you!"

Gao Xiaoqin buried her head in the crook of her arms, and cried back: "I don't want to either, but when I think about my dad's situation, I can't help but want to cry."

To put it more harshly, compared with Gao Xiaoqin and her family background, there are many people who are more miserable and difficult nowadays, and there are so many people that they simply cannot sympathize!

Of course, no matter what Zhao Ye thinks in his heart, he still has to work on the surface. In order to comfort Gao Xiaoqin, he even did not hesitate to show his own words and use the experience of his predecessor to win sympathy.

"Okay, you have to look at everything, I believe that the darkness will pass, and the light is not far away. And you have to think this way, you and your uncle and aunt are only separated for a short time, and there will be a day of reunion in the future.

It’s miserable like me, my father has passed away for many years, and my mother has gone far away, I’m afraid I will never see you again in this life, so what should I do, may I also cry like you, and the days are over? "

Hearing that Zhao Ye's life was worse than her own, Gao Xiaoqin really stopped crying gradually.After a while, she took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I don't know about you. I see that you are so optimistic on weekdays, so I always think that your family is very harmonious!"

Zhao Ye waved his hand and said: "Those who don't know don't blame it, besides, it's all in the past, don't you think I'm doing well now."

"Zhao Ye, do you remember the first time we met?"

"Then I must remember, why are you asking this?"

Gao Xiaoqin tilted her head and replied, "I asked you at the time why your parents gave you this name, but you haven't told me yet."

Zhao Ye was taken aback when he heard the words. This really stumped him. He couldn't tell the girl in front of him that his father was a fan of Qiuguan. It happened that when he was born, the TV station was rebroadcasting "The Great Era". The name is very horizontal, so I chose the same style for him.

Seeing that Zhao Ye was speechless for a long time, Gao Xiaoqin thought he had touched on his sadness, and quickly added: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, then don't say it."

Zhao Ye shook his head and said nonsense, "There's nothing I can't say. It seems that my mother really likes a poem by the Russian poet Surkov. The title of the poem is "The Resin of the Field Is Like Tears." this name."

"Do you remember the content of that poem, can you read it to me?"

Looking at Gao Xiaoqin's hopeful gaze, Zhao Ye couldn't utter the words of refusal, so he got up and stood on the field row, reciting in a chant tone:

"The resin of the field is like tears,
The fire throbs in the narrow hearth,

The accordion in the trenches sings to me,
Sing about your smile and your eyes.

In the snowy fields below Moscow,

The bush whispers of you to me.

……

Just because the fire of my love never goes out,

I also felt warm in the cold trenches. "

In fact, to a certain extent, Zhao Ye is not talking nonsense, because in the memory of his predecessor, this is indeed the favorite poem of his mother in this life.

When I was a child, whenever I couldn’t fall asleep, the foreign mother would slowly read Russian poems to her in her not-so-fluent Chinese, and this was the one I read the most.

"This poem is so beautiful, I can't remember it for a while, can you write it down for me?"

"No problem, as long as Miss Gao is happy, even if I, Zhao, will go through fire and water, I will not hesitate. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

"You talk nonsense, when people just saw you reciting poems, they were still thinking that this guy looks serious, but when he turned around, he revealed his true colors, really, you can't keep it for a while longer! "

"I think it's because you women are difficult to serve. This requirement is too high. If I want to be like that all the time, how tired should I be?"

"Hmph, rhetoric!"

…………

at night.

When Zhou Rong came back from the outside in a cotton-padded jacket, she saw Gao Xiaoqin lying on the kang, concentrating on something by the withered light of the oil lamp, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you looking at? Do you still have to go to work tomorrow morning?"

Gao Xiaoqin didn't look up and said, "I'll sleep after I finish this poem."

"Poetry, whose poem is it? Show it to me too!" Zhou Rong's eyes lit up, she squeezed to Gao Xiaoqin's side, and moved her head closer.

"Well, the handwriting is really good! This seems to be a Russian poem, which poet's?"

"It's called Surkov."

It's a pity that Zhou Rong had to pay attention, and she was no longer on it at this time. She only saw half of it, and then pushed Gao Xiaoqin's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Hey, this is a smile and a love poem, and it's a love poem! Come on and tell me honestly, who gave it to you, let me guess, it can't be Han Jianguo, right? I saw it this morning, and he took I wrote this book mysteriously, so it was to express my love to you..."

When she noticed Gao Xiaoqin's embarrassing expression on her face, Zhou Rong's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not reply: "Don't tell me, Zhao Ye wrote this to you?"

Gao Xiaoqin said guiltily, "It doesn't count, he copied it."

Zhou Rong said speechlessly: "Nonsense, of course I know he didn't write it, I mean why did he give you this poem?"

Gao Xiaoqin wanted to tell the truth, but she changed her mind when she got to the point of speaking, and said insincerely, "I don't know the reason, maybe it's for fun."

Zhou Rong angrily turned her head and went to sleep. After the oil lamps were extinguished for a while, she heard her whisper: "Gao Xiaoqin, you have to think clearly, Zhao Ye is not a good person."

"Whether he is good or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhou Rong said disdainfully: "You just have to be stubborn, even a blind person can see that you are interested in him."

"You, don't talk nonsense, who is interested in him?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Who is going around Zhao Ye every day? It can't be me, right?"

Gao Xiaoqin was silent.

After a long time, when Zhou Rong was about to fall asleep, Gao Xiaoqin suddenly asked, "Zhou Rong, Zhao Ye is going back to Jichun in a few days, will you go with him?"

Zhou Rong was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "I'm not going with him. If you want to go back, you can find him by yourself."

"Really, then I won't be polite!"

Hearing Gao Xiaoqin's cheers, Zhou Rong inexplicably felt a little ear-piercing, pulled the quilt over her head angrily, and said irritably, "Hurry up and go to bed, we'll talk about things tomorrow!"

　When I wrote the last few chapters, I forgot to divide them into chapters, so I simply distributed them into two chapters, so I would like to tell everyone.

　　Recently, I am conceiving the outline of the plot below. After I have conceived it, I will strive to update two chapters of more than 4000 words every day.

　　Hope you all support!
