Secretary Yang left, and the three members of the Song family walked him out in person. When they left, they were smiling and very cordial.

After Secretary Yang left, next to the fire, Father Song looked at his daughter and asked, "Xiao Ping, what did Secretary Yang just say, what do you think?"

Song Yunping lowered her head and looked at the burning firewood. She did not answer her father's question, but shook her head silently.

"You don't want to marry Wang Zhong?" Song's father asked.

The reason why Father Song asked this question was that compared to other young men of the same age in the brigade, Father Song valued Wang Zhong who came from the countryside more, especially since Wang Zhong also had exquisite medical skills that far exceeded him.

As the old saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat. With Wang Zhong's medical skills, he can support his family no matter what time he is, and he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood.

Song Yunping still shook her head.

Song's father and Song's mother were a little overwhelmed by Song Yunping's reaction.

"Xiaoping!" Mother Song sat next to Song Yunping, took Song Yunping's hand in hers, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Song Yunping said: "Mom! I don't know either."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at his parents: "Dad! Mom! This matter is too sudden. For a moment, I don't know how to answer you. Please give me a few days to think about it."

Father Song knew something about his daughter Song Yunping and knew that she had always had the right ideas. Although Father Song himself had a very good impression of Wang Zhong, Father Song did not want to impose his will on his daughter.

"Don't be anxious." Song's father's tone was very gentle, without any anxiety: "Marrying is a lifelong matter, of course you have to be careful. You take your time and think about it. No matter what decision you make, your mother and I will support you."

Mother Song next to her also nodded and said, "Your father is right. No matter what decision you make, we will support you."

"Dad! Mom!" Song Yunping looked at her parents: "Thank you!"

Song's father didn't say anything else. Instead, Song's mother, who grabbed Song Yunping's hand, pulled Song Yunping to tell her inner thoughts: "Your father and I have no hope in this life. I just hope that you and Xiaohui will be fine. It doesn’t matter whether you go to college or not, and it doesn’t matter whether you work or not. As long as you two are healthy and safe, that’s better than anything else.”

Although Song's father did not speak, his attitude was acquiescence to Song's mother's statement.

Song Yunping looked at her old parents and felt how much they cared about her, and was extremely touched in her heart.

At night, Song's father and mother were sleeping in their clothes, but they didn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Dad, what do you think about what Secretary Yang said today?" Mother Song couldn't hold it back first and broke the silence.

In the darkness, Song's father's deliberately suppressed voice also rang out: "I think Wang Zhong's kid is very good, and he is a good match."

Years of experience have also caused some changes in Father Song's personality. Today's Father Song is an exaggeration to say that he is depressed, but his silence is the real deal.

Song's mother said: "That boy Wang Zhong has been in our brigade for many years. We all see his character and his ability. Secretary Yang is right. If you compare it, among all the brigade in Hongwei Town, , among people of the same age, there is really no one who can compare with him."

After a moment of silence, Song's father said: "What's the point of us liking her? The key is that Xiaoping likes her."

Mother Song heard this and said, "I see that Xiaoping also likes Wang Zhong, but Xiaoping is a girl after all, so it's normal for her to be thin-skinned."

"And didn't Xiaohui say in the letter that Xiaoping still has a chance to enter college next year?"

Song's father said, "If it doesn't work this year, will it work next year?"

Over the years, Song's father has been frightened. The first rafter died first. Now Song's father just wants to live a peaceful life with his family, and no longer dares to think about those things that "shouldn't be thought of". .

"Hey!" Mother Song also sighed after hearing this, her eyes filled with loneliness and helplessness.

Song's mother has a submissive nature. Over the years, she has become accustomed to being treated differently because of ingredients, and she doesn't dare to ask for those things at all.

Just like the matter of Song Yunhui going to college this time, if Song Yunping hadn't persevered and ran to the town again and again, it might not have been possible.

"Forget it, don't think so much, let Xiaoping make her own decision!" Song's father's eyes were filled with sadness, and his tone was full of regret.

Mother Song sighed again and said nothing more, but tonight was destined to be an inevitable night.

In the next room, in the darkness, Song Yunping was lying on the bed with the same big eyes open. She couldn't sleep for a long time. Her heart was filled with thousands of thoughts, and her mind was a mess, filled with the words of today's Secretary Yang and the shadow of Wang Zhong.

Said neighbors lived in front and back, and Wang Zhong and Song's father kept going back and forth, often visiting. It can be seen that the former Song Yunping was still young, and she had always been treated differently in the brigade, so she was extremely sensitive. Wang Zhong treated everyone equally, which made her grateful. .

Shao Mu Shao Ai, Wang Zhong's conversation is not as vulgar as the rest of the brigade, and his cultural literacy is also high. In particular, he has extremely extraordinary medical skills. Even his own father feels inferior to him. Throughout the ages, women have been admired by Qiang. , Song Yunping naturally had some unreasonable thoughts about Wang Zhong.

But Song Yunping is not one of those stupid love-minded women who can abandon everything for so-called love.

The special family environment made Song Yunping much more precocious than her peers, and she helped her parents shoulder the burden of the family early on.

Compared with getting married, Song Yunping has a yearning for college that is unmatched by others, because it is the only way for her to change her destiny.

Song Yunping, a sensible and sensible person, took the initiative to give up this opportunity for the sake of her biological brother.

But now, Song Yunping, who learned from her younger brother that she still has a chance to go to college, is in a dilemma.

Especially what Secretary Yang said today made Song Yunping even more confused.

Song Yunping had also known for a long time that Wang Zhong was different from other educated youths who left early. Wang Zhong took the initiative to apply to go to the mountains and countryside. He had no intention of leaving the Shanbei Brigade and had already made plans to take root in the Shanbei Brigade.

In the past few months, Song Yunping had been working with Wang Zhong, and Song Yunping had talked about it with Wang Zhong from time to time.

Wang Zhong did not hide anything and answered all questions Song Yunping had.

Although the parents next to her had tried their best to lower their voices, in the silent night, their conversation still fell clearly into Song Yunping's ears.

After a sleepless night, Song Yunping was woken up by her mother in a daze early the next morning.

Father Song and Mother Song did not blame her at all for her daughter's rare oversleeping.

After breakfast, Song Yunping said something to her parents and went out. Without going far, she bypassed her house and went straight to the back.

Before she even got close to Song Yunping, she heard noises coming from the courtyard.

When he got closer, he saw that in the open yard surrounded by a fence, Wang Zhong was sitting on a rather thick piece of wood, shavings. Two triangular wooden posts held the wood up horizontally. There was a wooden table on the table next to him. Inside the box are Wang Zhong's tools for carpentry.

"Brother Wang Chong!" Song Yunping shouted from outside the fence. "Xiaoping?" Wang Zhong looked up when he heard this and saw that it was Song Yunping. He smiled and called Song Yunping in.

"There is tea in the house. If you are thirsty, go and pour it yourself. I won't call you." Song Yunping has been visiting Wang Zhong frequently in the past few months, and Wang Zhong did not regard Song Yunping as an outsider.

Song Yunping looked at Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang Zhong, what are you doing?"

Wang Chong said with a smile: "I am thinking about picking up some pieces of furniture in the house while I have some free time now. I just happened to have accumulated some dry wood at home in the past few years."

Song Yunping nodded and looked at Wang Zhong. At first, she was still a little hesitant and her eyes were a little evasive. But after a moment, she seemed to have made a decision in her heart. Even her eyes became firm and she asked: "Secretary Yang came to us yesterday. Family matters...Brother Wang Chong, do you know?"

"I know!" Wang Zhong met Song Yunping's gaze and said with a smile: "Yesterday I asked Secretary Yang to go to your house to find out about you and your parents."

Song Yunping didn't expect Wang Zhong to be so direct and calm. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted: "What are you thinking?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Xiao Ping, you also know that I am already twenty-five this year, and I have no plans to return to the city. It will be a matter of time to start a family. I have thought about it, and among the girls of the right age in these ten miles and eight towns, you are still the most suitable. Secretary Yang happened to come to see me yesterday, so I asked her to help."

Song Yunping said: "There are so many girls of the right age from all over the country, why me?"

Wang Zhongdao: "I'm not flattering you. There are many beautiful girls from all over the country, but there is no one like you who is beautiful, smart, diligent, capable, and sensible."

"Since I, Wang Zhong, want to marry a wife, of course I want to find the best one."

Even with Song Yunping's determination, she couldn't help but blush slightly after hearing Wang Zhong's words. She looked away from Wang Zhong's burning eyes, but there was an inexplicable sweetness in her heart.

Song Yunping did not answer any more, but shyly turned around and ran away. She went home with a red face. She closed the courtyard door behind her back and leaned against the wooden courtyard door. Her chest kept rising and falling, and her eyes kept flashing, telling her deep heart. The place is not peaceful.

"Xiaoping, what's wrong with you?"

Song's mother came out of the house with a dustpan. Seeing her daughter's abnormality, she couldn't help but asked with concern.

When asked by her biological mother, Song Yunping became even more ashamed like a child whose secret was discovered, and hurriedly responded: "Nothing?"

"Mom, I don't feel well. Let's go back to the house and lie down for a while."

After saying these words, Song Yunping hurried back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Song's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She put down the dustpan in her hand and hurriedly followed her to the door of the room. She knocked on the door and asked with concern: "Xiao Ping! Xiao Ping! What's wrong with you?" ah?"

"Mom!" Song Yunping, who was in the room, was burying her head on the quilt, feeling extremely ashamed. She was even more ashamed when she heard the knock on the door and her mother's concerned words.

"I'm fine, just rest for a while!" Song Yunping tried her best to sound normal.

Song Yunping underestimated her mother's concern for her: "Xiaoping, where do you feel uncomfortable? Just tell your mother or ask your father to help you take a look!"

"Mom! I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night. I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep some more."

At this moment, Song Yunping's mind was running rapidly, and she quickly thought of the reason.

"Then you have a good rest!" Mother Song breathed a sigh of relief, not forgetting to send a word of concern.

"Then I'll go to sleep first. Mom, go and do your work!" Song Yunping in the room also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Mother Song outside the door had turned around, she still looked at the closed door and murmured: "Didn't you sleep enough? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

In the room, Song Yunping tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and the inner turmoil gradually calmed down. Then she got up and went to the desk, took out the letter paper, spread it on the table, took out the sharpened pencil, and thought about it for a long time before officially writing. .

A few days later, Song Yunhui, who was far away on the university campus in the provincial capital, received a letter from his sister. Song Yunhui, who had been waiting for a letter from home for several days, couldn't wait to open the envelope and read his sister's letter.

Song Yunping did not get straight to the point. Instead, she first reminisced with Song Yunhui. She first asked about Song Yunhui's current situation at school, then talked about many recent events at home, and finally talked about Wang Chongtuo and Secretary Yang's visit to propose marriage.

"Wang Zhong?" Seeing this, Song Yunhui couldn't help but frown, and muttered Wang Zhong's name.

The roommates next to him who had hardly seen Song Yunhui frowning looked at Song Yunhui curiously.

Among the three people in the same dormitory, Yu Shanqing, the third oldest, is nearly one round older than Song Yunhui, not to mention the eldest and second oldest. Therefore, the three of them usually take good care of the youngest Song Yunhui.

Living in the same dormitory, the three of them naturally knew Song Yunhui's family background. At the same time, they also admired Song Yunhui's attitude towards learning that was neither humble nor overbearing, but hardworking and progressive.

"Xiaohui, what did your sister say in the letter?" the boss with glasses asked first.

The other two people also looked at Song Yunhui with concern.

Song Yunhui quickly adjusted, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. My sister said someone came to my house to propose marriage."

"This is a good thing!" The boss slapped his thigh and said happily for Song Yunhui: "This is a happy event. You should be happy. Why are you frowning?"

"You don't like the person who proposed marriage to your sister?" the second child followed.

Only the third child next to him, Yu Shanqing, did not speak.

Song Yunhui shook his head and said, "That's not true. I know the man who proposed marriage to my sister. He lives behind our house and he has always been nice to me and my sister."

"Are you afraid that that person is incompetent and can't take care of your sister?" the boss asked again.

Song Yunhui still shook his head and said: "That man's name is Wang Zhong. He is an educated youth who went to the countryside. He has superb medical skills. In the past few years, the educated youth who went to our country to go to the countryside have chosen to return to the city one after another. He is the only one who still stays there, and he He is also very knowledgeable and has a deeper understanding of mathematics, physics and chemistry than I do. When I was studying at home, I asked him many questions. His English is also very good, and I also learned my spoken English from him."

"So powerful?" Yu Shanqing finally couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't he get into college?"

Song Yunhui said: "It's not that he didn't pass the exam, it's that he didn't take the college entrance examination at all."

"Didn't take the college entrance examination?" As soon as Song Yunhui said these words, all three people in the dormitory were shocked.

These days, there are only two ways for educated youth to return home. Either they have family connections, deep backgrounds and wide connections, or they can take the college entrance examination and enter university.

The resumption of the college entrance examination is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for countless educated youths who have gone to the countryside. Before Yu Shanqing and the eldest and second son went to college, they also joined the ranks of educated youths in the countryside.

Song Yunhui said: "I also asked him, but he said that the countryside is vast and has a lot to do. It is not necessary to take the college entrance examination to change his destiny. Moreover, he wants to change not only his own destiny, but also the entire Shanbei Brigade, and even the entire Red Army." The fate of Wei Town.”
