That year, to be precise, I was not yet sixteen years old.

Originally, it was my second sister's turn to be sent down to our family, but at that time, the situation in our family was as follows: my father was put in the bullpen and the conclusion had not yet been reached. My mother is not in good health, so my eldest sister has long since taken care of me. My second sister usually takes care of everything at home. If the second sister goes to the countryside, what can I do if I stay at home? It was under this situation that I stepped forward resolutely and went to the countryside in place of my second sister.

For this, my mother naturally scolded me, but my second sister hugged me and cried most of the night.

In this way, I actually jumped in line and settled down with the team that was a lot older than me.

When it was the turn of young intellectuals of this age to go to the mountains and countryside, the border areas were probably overcrowded, and they were all driven to the Jianghan Plain. Jianghan Plain is not far from home, and it is not a remote place, compared to those big brothers and sisters who have roots in the northwest and northeast. This is a blessing in misfortune.

Speaking of which, my age is not very consistent with the era I lived in at that time. It is even a bit awkward and does not match up with each other. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, I was still a kid. I was not qualified to participate in those stormy storms. At most, I just followed the big brothers and sisters and watched the fun. When it was my turn to be eligible to participate in the competition, the climax of the movement had passed, and factories, schools, and government agencies were slowly returning to order and calm. The last remnant left to us is to go to the mountains and countryside.

I am a revolutionary descendant who was born under the red flag and grew up in a military compound. Originally, my father was a cadre of a certain level in the army. I am the youngest in the family, with only two older sisters. So, my childhood was growing up in a honeypot.

Probably because of this sense of superiority in childhood, I also developed many bad habits in my body, such as being bold, rebellious, and willful. During those days when I lived in the compound, I hardly mingled with my friends of the same age. Instead, I often stood on tiptoe and followed the children who were a little older than me. Of course, this may still have something to do with my family reasons.

My eldest sister and our next two children have the same father and are quite different in age. In addition, as soon as the Cultural Revolution began, she responded to the call and took root in the frontier. I have never been very emotional or impressed. My second sister is two years older than me, so she has become my second sister’s most annoying follower.

Although my second sister is two years older than me, when she was young, girls matured and became sensible earlier than boys. She had some personal experience with some of the revolutionary feats of the young Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. Moreover, in these revolutionary feats, my second sister has always been an active member.

Speaking of my second sister, I have to talk about Yu Ruonan. When I was growing up, her relationship with me was almost as close and as important as my relationship with my second sister.

Yu Ruonan's father is my father's old subordinate. It is an old friendship that involves life and death together. But the relationship between our two families is the kind of family friend who is closer than relatives. Our parents are almost the same age. The adults have such a good relationship that they like to talk about the children. I always hope that this friendship and emotion between adults can be continued and carried forward among children. But the results are often unsatisfactory. The first two are girls in our family, as is Yu Ruonan's family. Later, it was not easy for our family to give birth to a single child like me. But Yu Ruonan and her family never had any more children. This really makes the adults in our two families feel quite regretful.

Regrettably, the adults were still a little reluctant. So, Yu Ruonan and I have been made jokes since we were young.

In fact, Yu Ruonan is only a little over a year older than me. It should be considered the same as my second sister. Based on the relationship between our two families, I have called her sister since I was a child and treat her as my sister. After we grew up a little, when adults occasionally made fun of us, she would already understand and be shy. But I still laughed stupidly.

However, as we grow older, our personalities seem to be developing in the opposite direction of our respective genders. In the compound, she was often followed by a group of men and women who were older than her. It can also shout five, six, one, and respond to a hundred responses. But I don't particularly like noisy things. Most of the time I would rather read a book quietly by myself.

Later, that vigorous revolutionary movement broke out. By that time of chaos, my father had stepped aside and entered the bullpen. Her father was not greatly affected, and was even incorporated into the leadership team. After that, the relationship between our two families began to gradually become estranged, and she and I almost never met. Most of the things about her are hearsay. At that time, I was still quite young, and I still had the opportunity to escape these noisy sports. Therefore, during the most lively years of the movement, I always"hid in a small building and united, and didn't care about spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Later, it was my second sister's turn to go to the mountains and go to the countryside. As a result, I was given the job on behalf of my second sister.

When I arrived at the team going to the countryside, I saw Yu Ruonan at first sight. Maybe I had been unfamiliar with her for too long, but I didn't feel particularly excited or close to her when I saw her. Instead, she ignored the past grudges, walked up to me and grabbed me. He warned me with a serious look on his face. It was my mother and my second sister who solemnly entrusted me to her. Let her take care of me and watch over me. When I got to the country, I had to listen to her in everything. cut! It seems that after all these years, she has not changed much, and she still acts like a big sister in front of me. Whatever! When you go out, you have many friends and many paths! People are so kind and enthusiastic, why don't I appreciate it?

Along the way, Yu Ruonan really treated me like a little brother, nagging me and never leaving. I think my second sister must have put a lot of effort into her. It is rare that she is so dedicated to her duties, and her attitude and intimacy towards me are unprecedented.

Intellectual youths should go to the mountains and countryside. This was the slogan that was shouted the most and loudest in those days. Before, I could hear calluses in my ears. But I rarely think about it, and I always feel that it has little to do with me. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, everything became a reality. I am also an educated youth, and I was also sent down. I am about to change from a city person to a country person. This happened so suddenly, I really didn't have time to think about it.

As the army bid farewell to my family and the city gradually moved away from me, my heart suddenly felt trembling and desolate!
