A few years later, the "touch" incident broke out. Looking back, I think Liu Feng's pursuit of Lin Dingding may have been much earlier than that cookie night.When is it early?Maybe it was as early as when Lin Dingding first came.Ding Ding was an educated youth who jumped in the queue at first, and was recruited by a local song and dance troupe. When our song and dance troupe came, he was already quite mature on stage.You can see the childish Ding Ding in the audience, and you can't imagine that this is the solo actor who takes the lead on stage.I can't imagine that this is the Ding Ding who wants to drink with the chief and bring down the habits of the local theater troupe.You don't know which Lin Ding Ding is the real Ding Ding, anyway, there must be a Ding Ding in disguise.Not long after Lin Dingding came out of the recruit company, he caught up with our business training.During the training period, the vocal band actors also have to take physical classes, and they also have to pull their shoulders and kick their legs to smooth things over.Dance team members take turns teaching them body lessons.Today is Liu Feng's turn.From several narrations, I imagined this scene: Liu Feng stood at one end of the small rehearsal hall, watching a group of clumsy, laughing male and female vocal performers kicking their front legs at him.From Liu Feng's point of view, every leg in knickerbockers was kicked towards his forehead, almost towards the tip of his nose.Just when Lin Dingding raised his legs towards his Adam's apple, he yelled: "Turn harder!" Ding Ding's eyes complained to him, but he didn't understand what she was complaining about.In the next kick, Ding Ding kicked his legs according to the height of the zipper of his exercise uniform, and the bitterness in his eyes deepened. Liu Feng still didn't understand, and said again: "Be serious!" Ding Ding kicked again, only kicking It reached the height of his navel, but at this moment, something was "launched" from the leg of her knickerbocker, flew straight to Liu Feng, and landed between his two black-faced and white-soled soldier cloth shoes.This is a shameful thing.Lin Dingding's face turned red immediately, and he rushed forward, picked it up, as if picking up his own lifeblood, then smashed open the door and rushed out.Probably the only one who saw that thing clearly was Liu Feng.If Ding Ding didn't cry desperately afterwards, there would certainly not be too many people interested in it.Liu Feng was there with a pale face.He peeped into the boudoir's secrets, feeling a certain guilt, though not on purpose.Half of the toilet paper soaked in blood, only the tip is white, and the rest is a tragic scarlet.The incident that happened to the female soldiers every month was not kept a secret by the male soldiers. If a female soldier called for a report when going out for morning exercises, the captain of the duty unit dared not refuse to approve "coming out"!This "report!" also reported to all the male soldiers, and the "bloody case" that happened to the woman Yueyue is happening to "me" at this moment.The female dancing soldiers who are undergoing the "bloody incident" do not need to take blanket exercises and dance lessons, but they must "watch the lessons". You can often see a few drowsy female dance team soldiers sitting on the long bench in the practice room, Bored and helpless.

Lin Dingding rushed from the small rehearsal hall to the big toilet, rode on the latrine, and cried loudly.The architectural design of our public toilets is like this: the walls between men’s and women’s circles do not reach the roof, and the smell of food from the same cafeteria circulating in the human body circulates on the top of the walls.It is often the female soldiers on this side who ask about the rehearsal at night, and the male soldiers on the other side blurt out the answer: "Rehearse "Dolma Goes to College" with the band!" The male soldiers sang along.So Ding Ding's wail suddenly interrupted the singing "Bright Sun..." from the next door.After five seconds of silence, the tenor asked, "Who is this?!" Ding Ding was crying so hard that he knelt down.A male soldier of the band probably came in from next door, and after listening to Lin Dingding's mournful voice for a while, he let out a long sigh: "Mom! What tune?"

The tenor said, "High C!" The number of male soldiers next door increased, and there was a lot of inquiries and discussions. "What's wrong?!" "Wow, dead?" On the side of the broken wall, the number of female soldiers also increased.A piece of persuasion and comfort. "What does it matter?" "Maybe which mother doesn't have her period?" Ding Ding sobbed: "They all saw it!..." "Whoever sees it is responsible!" This is what Hao Shuwen said, while still poking her chin towards the broken wall, as if provoking trouble.At that time, Xiaohao, I, and Lin Dingding still lived in the same room.The leader will adjust the housing every other year to prevent us from living in the same house for a long time, living out of feelings, and living in gangs.The representative of the male soldier began to ask on the other side of the broken wall: "What happened?"

"Nothing happened!" The voice band leader spoke for the female soldier. "Then why are you crying?" Xiao Hao contradicted: "Don't ask!" "There must be some class feelings, right? You won't be allowed to ask if you cry so badly?" Hao Shuwen seemed to get another excuse to bicker, and she smiled: "What are you asking about the girl's house?" The female sub-leader of the vocal band stretched out her hand to pull Ding Ding up, while coaxing her: "You will gain wisdom by eating a pit, and just don't kick your legs when you come back from menstruation next time! The dance team will ask for leave at this time!"

Ding Ding sobbed: "No one told me... that I can ask for leave!... What a shame!..." Hao Shuwen was magnanimous, she still yelled at the wall: "What's the shame? Anyone who thinks dirty is ashamed!" At this moment, a voice came out of the men's room. It was Mr. Wang, a highly respected vocal music teacher, saying, "Xiao Lin stopped crying. His voice was broken from crying, ah." The vocal music teacher is in his fifties, and his voice does not show his age at all.He loves Ding Ding very much. With more than a dozen disciples, Ding Ding conquered his heart as soon as he sang.Kobayashi's voice is special, strange, and has a strange appeal. The teacher has studied Tintin with many people behind his back.Lin Dingding's play was so sensational that Teacher Wang, who was in his fifties, even cried.

The female soldiers carried Lin Dingding, who was weak and tired from crying, out of the toilet, while the male soldiers stood at the door of the men's toilet and watched.It seemed that Tintin had been seriously injured, or had been abused by some beast.Witnesses to that bloody toilet paper ravaged her with their eyes.Standing in the group of male soldiers was Liu Feng, who somehow felt that he should bear some kind of responsibility. After everyone coaxed Ding Ding to the bed and put the quilt on, Liu Feng walked in timidly, stood there for a while, wanted to take responsibility but didn't know what to do, got bored for a while, and then left.The next day when he saw Ding Ding, Ding Ding's face turned red, and so did his face, and he knew that Liu Feng was the one who saw the bloody thing most clearly.The bloody thing, like a crimson flying object, almost ended its journey on him.How did the thing rubbing against Tintin's most intimate part break through the shackles of the sanitary belt, break through the blockade of the elastic bands of the pant legs--the blockage of the elastic bands only increases the rebound and explosive power--fly out and reach Liu Feng's feet?When Liu Feng thought of Lin Dingding's three complaining eyes when he kicked his legs, why was he completely puzzled?Wasn't he the one who forced it? "Work harder!" "Be serious!" Well, the bloody secret was "launched" from the trouser leg.Even if Liu Feng didn't see Lin Dingding's female core, what he saw was the closest thing to the core.I even saw something more core than the core, which was a red hot flow that could give birth to a small life. From that tiny palace of flesh and blood, through a soft and dark canal, it broke the embankment and was produced and packaged by a certain street factory. on a long strip of abrasive paper...

Of course this is all in my imagination.I have a lot of imagination in this regard.So it is reasonable for people to say that my ideology is not good.I think Liu Feng's obsession with Lin Dingding may have started from that accident, so his desire is very biological and not noble.But his suppression of that pursuit, brutal suppression for several years, was noble.He pursued very hard, and he suffered from this suppression.Repressed and purified at the same time, and finally purified into the soul, the touch he sent to Lin Dingding at the end was the soul driving the limbs, and the limbs just completed an action of the soul.

Let's take a look at the story of Lin Dingding's side.This part of Lin Dingding was unknown to Liu Feng.Ding Ding's life flow in this period is not parallel to Liu Feng's at all.Ding Ding is dreaming of the common dream of most female art troupe soldiers: to be the daughter-in-law of a chief.Ding Ding has an aunt in the military compound in Beijing, and Ding Ding calls her second aunt.The second aunt is also as secular as most middle-aged female elders, always erecting a "radar" to capture the possibility of high-ranking for all her "good conditions" juniors.The second aunt thinks that the most well-off among all her juniors is her eldest sister's daughter, solo actress Lin Dingding.Her supernatural "radar" actually searched Chengdu and introduced Ding Ding to a deputy commander's house as a guest. The deputy commander has three sons, and one of them will seduce Ding Ding or be seduced by Ding Ding.The first time Liu Feng made cookies for Lin Dingding was when Ding Ding received the letter of introduction from her aunt, when she was struggling with which woolen sweater to wear to the deputy commander's door.If we believe that the innocent Lin Dingding is the real Dingding, then we can believe her later statement: "I didn't know that Liu Feng was interested in me at all!" Then we have to believe how much self-control Liu Feng has Strong, all expressions are suppressed into cookies.Liu Feng and Lin Dingding are qualified enough to formally talk to each other.They are all military officers, and they can marry early and have children early.They can take the meal back to the dormitory like the men and women who are serious in the group, add one or two homemade private dishes, even add a little private seasoning, a spoonful of hot sauce or a small dish of garlic, and the collective The food is a small stove for the couple.But Liu Feng has been watching Lin Dingding from a distance.He felt that she was still making progress, in terms of career and politics, and he shouldn't have disturbed her early.He should wait for her to join the party. He can work hard on this matter.Later facts proved that in Tintin's great cause of joining the party, he has indeed made great achievements.And he himself is busy, big and small, everyone wants him to be a model, just like they recommend him to mend the curtain, repair the benches in the cafeteria, and dredge the laundry table sewer, he is always unanimously elected as a model.This is his busiest time: going to the army to give lectures, giving reports in middle and primary schools, and participating in commendation meetings of military regions or the whole army.Between meetings, he was busy doing some exemplary deeds to match his pile of heroic titles.One night, I practiced a very difficult dance move in private, and when I passed the props warehouse, I saw that the lights were still on.It had been an hour since the horn had been blown.It was the hottest few days of the year, the two windows of the props warehouse were wide open, and Liu Feng could be seen from a distance, squatting down and standing up, busy with something, his head glistening with sweat.Out of curiosity, I went to the window.Liu Feng had a pen in his ear, two iron nails between his teeth, and the shoulders of his sweat vest were covered with yarn ends.What he is doing seems to be quite unfamiliar and laborious: stretching a piece of blended tweed to the frame, either with weak strength or with the wrong strength, and every time he pulls the fabric, his mouth will sag, The temples also convulsed.

I greeted: "It's already midnight, are you still busy?" His answer came out from behind his nails, saying that the head of the cooking team was getting married. The cooking squad leader is getting married, what is he busy with?I am even more strange. "I don't have any money." He took the iron nails out of his mouth, "His wife must have a pair of sofas, otherwise she won't let the horse squad leader live safely. Let's make a pair for him. Thirty years old, and a rural soldier again , It’s not easy to find a daughter-in-law in Chengdu.” He rubbed his sweaty chin against the shoulder straps of his sweaty vest, and the beads of sweat were not wiped off, but scraped off.

Again, I thought, this is a good guy.Unconditional, non-utilitarian good.How can so much goodness be accommodated in such an unremarkable body? This was the summer of 1976, and the company management was no longer mentioned by the leaders.The leader now turns a blind eye to us and manages us. There are more and more people wearing floral shirts in the barracks, and the men and women who go out for a walk at night are returning to the team later and later.People who criticized my bad ideology began to secretly pass on the manuscript "Girl's Heart".Most of the female soldiers who dreamed of being the chief's daughter-in-law have realized their dreams.Lin Dingding does not seem to be a successful example. She still goes to Teacher Wang for vocal music lessons on time every day. She heard that "Romania is famous for its mules and horses", and she would still say: "Really?!" People discover Alaska——Ala is home", she will also: "Really?!" You will think: where did she grow up for a long time?When you see how she tosses between two watches, any suspicion of her naiveté will be dispelled.There is a Shanghai watch in her drawer, and a Movado is on her wrist, or vice versa, the Movado is resting in the drawer, and the watch on her wrist is the Shanghai watch. Hugh, depending on which of her suitors comes to the team.One suitor is a photography officer in the Propaganda Department, and the other is a physician in the Outpatient Department.The doctor is our resident doctor, and he always visits us once a week.The photography officer also came more frequently, taking us profile photos, rehearsal photos and performance photos.Movado is a gift from the doctor to Tintin. It is an antique with a K-gold watch frame. He has to check the time seven or eight times a day when he wears it.The Shanghai watch was given by the director of photography, and it is not brand new. The first owner was the director's fiancée. The fiancée made the director wear a cuckold, and the director insisted on asking her to get the Shanghai watch back.The doctor should be considered a middle-aged man according to his age. He has been married, widowed for six or seven years, and has a daughter.He is tall, thin (Ding Ding doesn't like fat people), and has a gentle personality, especially for Ding Ding who is always uncomfortable. He can see a doctor at any time when he is sick. He is knowledgeable and rich, and it is said that his hometown in Fuzhou is very rich, with a bunch of overseas Chinese relatives.A photography officer is superior to a doctor in that he is young, lively, and often takes pictures of the heads of various departments, so he can enjoy himself up and down, and he is expected to be promoted, and he may become the head of the department.But she is fatter and wears glasses, which Tintin thinks is not pretty at all.Can you see it now?When choosing a man, Ding Ding is more mature and sophisticated than all of our female soldiers: she looks at his own ability, not his father's ability.Lin Dingding's maturity and sophistication are cold and can calm down the hormones.Maybe my judgment is too arbitrary, Lin Dingding is really naive and naive, her son and daughter are late to realize things, she allows the doctor and the officer to chase her at the same time, just to give them face.Also, who is not vain for a woman?More suitors, more jewelry, it's all good, it's all about dressing up.
