Chapter 7 The Fragrance of a Mature Girl

The future scene depicted by Liu Shuanglin deeply moved Li Yaling.Her feet moved closer to Liu Shuanglin unconsciously, intentionally or unconsciously, Liu Shuanglin's shoulder touched Li Yaling's shoulder, and he smelled the fragrance of a mature girl emanating from Li Yaling's body. Zhang Weiping and Li Yaling's first love really started that night. That night, Zhang Weiping and Li Yaling sat by the fire talking again.Not long ago, a patient just left here. It was a patient with a cold and a fever. Li Yaling gave the patient antipyretic injections and prescribed medicine.During this period, Zhang Weiping stayed with Li Yaling all the time.After the patient left, Zhang Weiping said: You are cold, let's warm up for a while before leaving.

In this way, Li Yaling followed Zhang Weiping to the brigade headquarters next to the clinic.The incandescent lamp was very bright that night, and the stove was very hot. Zhang Weiping was holding a corn cob. From time to time, he rubbed a few kernels of corn on the cob and popped them on the stove. Pick it up and put it in Li Yaling's hand.The corn bursting out of the fire was very fragrant, and the two talked casually.At this moment, the power went out, and the sudden darkness made the two of them relax. They seemed to meet their eyes inadvertently, and suddenly separated again.This is a very common performance when men and women with affection and intentions communicate for the first time, but in their respective hearts, it is like a stormy sea.

When Zhang Weiping stretched out his hand to pass the cornflakes to Li Yaling's hand again, he didn't know where the courage came from, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yaling's hand, which was hot and wet.She said in a strange voice: God, it's getting late, I should go back. She said so, but her body didn't move. He used some strength in his hands, and Li Yaling fell into his arms.Almost at the same time, they hugged each other, when the sudden light made them leave each other like lightning.She blushed, lowered her head, her eyes were blurred, and she faltered and said vaguely: I should go back.

This time she really stood up, carrying the medicine box on her shoulders as usual.Zhang Weiping didn't speak, but silently picked up the flashlight and followed her to see her off.Along the way, the two of them didn't speak. They walked to the door of Li Yaling's house. She stood still, turned her head, and glanced at him. He saw that her eyes were still a little blurred. Then she walked towards her house without looking back. . It wasn't until Li Yaling walked into the door that he woke up and walked back with big strides.This evening was really extraordinary for him, the window paper finally pierced.He firmly believed that Li Yaling also liked him.Zhang Weiping, in his twenties, is full of revolutionary romantic feelings for the vast countryside. At this moment, he found the happiness he longed for in the romantic revolution.He ran in the snow, he wanted to sing, he wanted to dance, so he whistled.For some reason, he actually blew the song "Song of the Guerrilla", which caused several dogs to bark endlessly in the dark.

Since then, their meeting place is not in the group department, because the group department is not safe.Maybe someone will come at any time, or the phone that has been silent for a day or two will suddenly ring.So they left the brigade, love is private after all.Their date place is under the old willow tree next to the big river today, and it may be under the bridge hole in the canal tomorrow. When they date, they communicate more physically than verbally.They hugged and kissed regardless, and the cold night made them fight in the cold wind, but they still loved each other with joy. At this time, their thoughts were also divergent.What Zhang Weiping thinks is that life in Fangmagou will be very happy and warm in the future. If Li Yaling can really marry him, he will take root, blossom and bear fruit in the countryside, and he will devote all his ideals to In the revolutionary cause, let his dream thrive in the countryside.

Li Yaling doesn't think so, because she knows that Zhang Weiping is from the city and the son of Zhang Weiping, the deputy commander of the military region. One day he will leave this remote village. That's when she came to town.Half of her love for Zhang Weiping at this time was her love for the city, which turned into a more violent love for Zhang Weiping.To be honest, Zhang Weiping attracted her. There are things in Zhang Weiping that are not possessed in rural youths, such as Zhang Weiping's courage, and the well-informed and well-informed way of thinking of people in the city. The romantic temperament in Zhang Weiping is not possessed by any rural youth.

In this obsession, Li Yaling thought of Liu Shuanglin again.Liu Shuanglin left the Fangmagou brigade five years ago to join the army. Liu Shuanglin was two grades ahead of Li Yaling in school.At that time, Li Yaling was very delicate in her bones, and his father was still the branch secretary of the Fangmagou Brigade in front of him. In the countryside, he was almost a child of a high-ranking official.Li Yaling is not only proud of these, she is proud of her beauty and excellent studies.At that time, she was so arrogant that she ignored anyone at all. Liu Shuanglin also has an older brother and a younger brother in his family. After graduating from high school, he was determined to join the army.The first dream of rural youth is to recruit workers into the city. At that time, the city had very few targets for recruiting workers from the countryside, even if there was one and a half targets, those who had no way out would not even think about it.So, the only way out was to become a soldier.If you are a soldier, you have the hope of joining the party, but you can't get promoted. Even if you don't join the party and get promoted, you can spend a few years in the army and go back to the countryside. It's also a kind of capital. The object also has the capital to choose and choose.Liu Shuanglin and his father, like all rural youths, eagerly look forward to jumping into the Dragon Gate.But Liu Shuanglin's family background made him unable to serve in the army. It was an evening a few days before the conscription, Liu Shuanglin found Li Yaling's home, brought two bottles of bulk wine, and knelt down in front of Li Yaling's father who was the branch secretary.That night, Liu Shuanglin burst into tears.When Li Yaling came home from school, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.She stepped over the kneeling father and two in shock and walked into the back room.Maybe it was the sincerity of the two men who moved Li Zhishu, and finally Liu Shuanglin left as he wished.

Two years later, Liu Shuanglin went home to visit relatives. At that time, Li Yaling had graduated from high school and was studying as a barefoot doctor in the commune health center.They met unexpectedly on the village street.At that moment, Liu Shuanglin was standing under a big willow tree spreading smoke to the villagers. While spreading the smoke, he talked endlessly about what the troops had seen and heard.Liu Shuanglin deliberately spoke a southern accent and a northern accent, with a red light on his face.At this time, his gaze met Li Yaling's gaze unexpectedly.Li Yaling is now more beautiful than two years ago. In Liu Shuanglin's eyes, she is already a big girl.At this time, she remembered the scene where Liu Shuanglin and his father knelt down to him two years ago. When she thought of that scene, her face felt hot, and she turned her face away.Liu Shuanglin seemed to have long forgotten the embarrassment of two years ago. He greeted Li Yaling in a friendly, warm, and knowledgeable manner: "Yaling, I heard that you have become a barefoot doctor. It's great. Let's chat when you have time." chat.

Li Yaling didn't know how to respond to Liu Shuanglin's greetings and invitations, and walked over while blushing and pale. Liu Shuanglin seems to be very scheming, as if he will not give up until he achieves his goal.During the ten days when Liu Shuanglin visited relatives, he went to the commune every evening to pick up Li Yaling, who was studying in the commune health center.It is about five miles from the commune to the Fangmagou brigade, and it takes more than half an hour to walk fast.At the beginning, Li Yaling didn't accept Liu Shuanglin's favor, she walked on her own, and Liu Shuanglin followed behind.

He said: Ya Ling, why are you in such a hurry?Let me talk with you. Li Yaling ignored him and just walked forward. He followed behind, regardless of whether Li Yaling liked to listen or not, he just talked about what he had seen and heard during his two years in the army. He said: Our regiment has more than 1,000 people, and our regiment leader is the hero who fought against Zhenbao Island. He also said: Our regiment headquarters is in the city, but it is very lively. He also said: From our place to our army, we have to change trains twice, adding up to more than ten hours. ... A few days later, Li Yaling no longer rejected Liu Shuanglin so much, and the two of them could walk side by side and talk to each other.

Liu Shuanglin said: "Yaling, I have already written in the party application form. I joined the regiment after half a year in the army." Li Yaling glanced at him. He said: Really, I'm not kidding you. Li Yaling glanced at him again. Liu Shuanglin also said: If I can join the Shangdang this year, I will start to work hard in the next step. Li Yaling said: Is it so easy to get promoted? He said: Of course it is not easy, you have to work hard.The two walked forward again. At this time, the sun was setting, and half of the sky was dyed with bright clouds. Liu Shuanglin said again: If I can be promoted, I can take care of my family in the future. When he said this, Li Yaling's heart jumped twice.It was her dream to leave the countryside.Thinking of this, she blushed.He saw it, and seeing that the time was right, he said: Actually, I have another idea when I visit relatives this time, which is to solve my personal problems. Li Yaling looked at him with a blushing face, and immediately turned her head away. It is not surprising that Liu Shuanglin had this kind of thinking. At that time, the service system in the army was three years, and he could visit relatives after two years.It is extremely difficult for so many soldiers to join the party and get promoted. Many people go home to visit relatives in military uniforms, just want to settle the marriage. It is much more difficult to find a partner after demobilization.Liu Shuanglin also had this idea when he came back this time. The first time he saw Li Yaling on the village street that day, he suddenly had the urge to get close to Li Yaling. Needless to say, Li Yaling is beautiful. The important thing is that Li Yaling's father is the branch secretary of the brigade, a village cadre in the "social education" period, and his qualifications are very old.If he can become a family with Li Yaling, even if he can't join the party or get promoted, he will have a future in the brigade and commune when he returns to his hometown.After thinking about this, he became more determined to approach Li Yaling. Thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi.He has forgotten what happened two years ago. He is already a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, with a red star on his head and revolutionary red flags hanging on both sides.He thought he could be on an equal footing with Li Yaling. Liu Shuanglin went to the commune hospital to pick up Li Yaling every evening. A few days later, Li Yaling was moved by Liu Shuanglin's behavior, and his attitude towards Liu Shuanglin changed consciously or unconsciously.Two years of life in the army has brought about earth-shaking changes in Liu Shuanglin's whole body.In the past, Liu Shuanglin always wore the old clothes worn by his brother. The clothes were patched with patches, especially the two patches on the buttocks, which seemed to have two eyes. They often mocked Liu Shuanglin for having "eyes" on his butt.At this time, Liu Shuanglin's military uniform was brand new, exuding the smell of a barracks all over his body, and his face was flushed, like a sorghum thriving in the field. Li Yaling gradually accepted Liu Shuanglin's hospitality, and the two walked on the sandy road under the setting sun.A ray of the setting sun shone on their faces, their faces were hot, and fine sweat oozes out, hanging moistly on their cheeks. Liu Shuanglin said: I should join the party when I return to the army. I have written the application three times. When Liu Shuanglin said this, he actually had no idea at all. There are more than 100 people in the company, and the quota for joining the party is only one or two every year. For five years, they are all waiting to join the party and working hard with all their might.Those veterans also robbed the broom and helped the recruits with the recruits. They had already thought about the good people and good deeds they could think of. Liu Shuanglin had just written three applications for joining the party, and those veterans had written more than a dozen, and some even bit them. The middle finger writes the party oath in blood.Although Liu Shuanglin didn't have any confidence in his heart, when he said these words to Li Yaling, his voice was loud and his tone was firm. Li Yaling asked: Can you really get promoted in the future? Liu Shuanglin said: Once you join the party, you will not be far from being promoted. In those days, if a rural child was able to work in the army, even if he was a deputy cadre, he had jumped the dragon's gate. Even if they change jobs and leave the army in the future, they are still state cadres and will be arranged uniformly by the state.That is to say, as long as you raise your cadre, you can leave the countryside with your face facing the loess and your back facing the sky forever, and the carp jumps over the dragon's gate. For Li Yaling, if she could marry a military officer, she would be a dignified member of the military. After a few years of staying with the army, her household registration would become an urban household registration.Such a day was what every rural youth in that era yearned for.The future scene depicted by Liu Shuanglin deeply moved Li Yaling.Her feet moved closer to Liu Shuanglin unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Shuanglin Shuanglin's shoulder touched Li Yaling's shoulder, and he smelled the fragrance of a mature girl emanating from Li Yaling's body.He was a little intoxicated, so he said dreamily: It will be a matter of time to mention it, and I, Liu Shuanglin, am also a figure in the army. It is a very grand event for any soldier to visit relatives after two years of service, because they shoulder the heavy responsibility of going home to do big things.This big event is to find a partner, and the scene is different when you go home wearing a military uniform.Some borrow a pair of leather shoes or a watch from the platoon leader, and some have a better relationship with the platoon leader, and they can also borrow the platoon leader's cadre uniform to wear. up.If they can get their marriage settled within ten days of visiting relatives, it will be their victory. If they can let their fiancée come to the army and stay for three to five days before being demobilized; , it is best if you can make mature rice with raw rice.According to the old soldier, taking down his fiancée and becoming his veritable wife is a certainty.Of course, it doesn’t matter if the raw rice is uncooked. People all know that you went to the army in the name of your fiancée, and you lived there for three to five days. Who can tell what happened in those few days?Rural people naturally have the view of rural people, that is, when a soldier is demobilized and comes back, the woman regrets it, but her status is already like this, and she is too embarrassed to propose breaking up with him. mother.The idea of ​​jumping the dragon gate has died since then, and I can only sing a lament for the beautiful dream. Liu Shuanglin is a true biography of a veteran, and the first thing he did when he returned home this time was to find a partner.When he left as a soldier, Li Yaling was still young. She didn't expect that two years later, she would be a beautiful girl.The first time he saw Li Yaling on the village street that day, he was determined to take Li Yaling down. The hard work of several days was finally not in vain. He was confident that Li Yaling had already begun to fall in love, which greatly stimulated his ambition and fighting spirit.He secretly made up his mind that when he left Fangmagou, the matter between himself and Li Yaling had to be settled. That evening, in the bloody sunset, Liu Shuanglin boldly stretched out his hand to brush Li Yaling's loose hair.What he didn't expect was that Li Yaling didn't stop her, but silently accepted it.Encouraged, Liu Shuanglin hugged Li Yaling's shoulders with both hands, and he wanted to kiss Li Yaling.At this time, Li Yaling seemed to have come to her senses. She used some strength to put her arms against Liu Shuanglin's face, so that her body would not be completely close to it.She raised her face and said very clearly: Can you really do it? At this time, Liu Shuanglin was already possessed, his face was hot and his heart was beating, he gasped and said: No problem, the leader will give me a report when I go back this time. Under Liu Shuanglin's vowed bewitchment, Li Yaling finally gave up resistance and threw her limp body into Liu Shuanglin's embrace.At that moment, Liu Shuanglin was elated. He thought that the most difficult first step of the Long March had been taken. On that hazy and charming night, Liu Shuanglin said out of breath: Ya Ling, when do you think I will go to your house to propose marriage? The love of rural people is not recognized if both parties are willing. Only when the parents of both parties approve, will it be recognized.Li Yaling didn't speak, she looked at Liu Shuanglin calmly, she was not sure about her father's attitude.In the Fangmagou Brigade, Dad is the leader, and Dad has a high heart. Although Liu Shuanglin has served as a soldier for two years and came back wearing a military uniform, she is not sure whether Dad will take a fancy to him. Seeing that Li Yaling didn't respond, Liu Shuanglin said, "I'll go to your house tomorrow, do you think so?" Li Yaling still didn't say anything, she had completely calmed down by now.She returned home that night with a heavy heart. The next day, Liu Shuanglin came to the commune early, bought two bottles of wine and two boxes of pastries in the store, and then Li Yaling came.Liu Shuanglin walked back excitedly, while walking, he said: I will ask your father to propose marriage tonight. After a day and a night of thinking, Li Yaling had already considered it maturely, and said calmly: You must promise my father that you will definitely stay in the army and be promoted. Liu Shuanglin smiled and said: That's natural. As soon as I return to the army, the leader should give me a report on my promotion. Li Yaling said again: You tell my father well, don't be in a hurry. Liu Shuanglin said: I'm not in a hurry, I want to talk about it. Before sunset, they came to Li Yaling's house.Li Zhishu was wearing a coat and was standing in the yard smoking. He looked very serious, and he acted like a cadre. He saw Liu Shuanglin and the things Liu Shuanglin was carrying at a glance, and then he saw his daughter Yaling. He analyzed the problem clearly in the shortest possible time.He has been a branch secretary for decades, and he knows exactly who opens his mouth in Fangmagou and wants to say something.At this time, Li Zhishu's face was a little ugly and gloomy. Liu Shuanglin put the things in his hand on the window sill, turned around and gave a military salute to Zhishu Li, then stretched out his hand and said, "Secretary Party Secretary, I, Shuanglin, are here to see you." What he meant was to shake hands with Party Secretary Li. He is now a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army. In terms of seniority, he can also be called a comrade with the Party Secretary. It is a kind of etiquette to shake hands between comrades. Unexpectedly, Li Zhishu didn't reach out, and put his hands behind his back. He just snorted and didn't look at Liu Shuanglin's gift on the window sill. Liu Shuanglin was hit, but he was not discouraged. He took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Li Zhishu. Li Zhishu pondered for a while, but still took it.Instead of holding it to his mouth, he held the cigarette to his ear.Liu Shuanglin didn't throw away the match that he lit until it burned out.Psychologically, Liu Shuanglin was half short.When he first entered the door, his waist was straight, but now his waist is bent, and he doesn't know where to start with what he thought before. He looked at the branch secretary and said over and over again: I am about to join the party, and the day when I will be promoted is not far away. He said it several times in a row, and then he felt his mouth dry up. Li Zhishu looked very impatient. With his hands behind his back and Liu Shuanglin's cigarettes stuck in his ears, he paced up and down in the yard.Liu Shuanglin didn't know what to do, his eyes followed Li Zhishu back and forth.Li Zhishu finally spoke: The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken, if you have something to say, just say what you want to do. What Liu Shuanglin didn't expect was that two years of military life still hadn't changed Li Zhishu's opinion of him.Li Zhishu is very dignified, and he speaks to everyone in the Fangmagou brigade in the same tone. Although Liu Shuanglin is not a member of Fangmagou for the time being, but a member of the People's Liberation Army, Li Zhishu still treats him like a villager .Liu Shuanglin thought of all the difficulties, but he didn't expect Li Zhishu to treat him like this. Li Yaling, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She called out to her father and said, "Shuanglin came here today to tell you something serious." Liu Shuanglin bent his legs and knelt down for some reason, and said in a trembling voice: Uncle, I want to be engaged to Yaling. This time Li Zhishu stood still. He bent down and looked at Liu Shuanglin and said, "Engaged to my daughter? What a joke!"Who are you? ! Liu Shuanglin said: I will join the party immediately, and I will not be far from being promoted. Li Yaling also said: Shuanglin is really capable of doing something, so just trust him once, dad. Li Zhishu was overjoyed, he straightened up and said, "Okay, then wait for you to propose it, and then get engaged to my daughter, and then I will support it with both hands." Speaking of this, Liu Shuanglin had no choice but to get up from the ground, and he yelled again: Uncle, I'm leaving in two days, see if you can let Yaling and I make an appointment in advance. Li Zhishu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about this after you mention it." After speaking, he went back to the house, leaving Liu Shuanglin aside. Liu Shuanglin stood stiffly for a while, glanced at Li Yaling, turned around and walked out.Li Zhishu suddenly shouted: Stop—— Liu Shuanglin stopped. Li Zhishu came out of the house like a wind, picked up the gifts and threw them in Liu Shuanglin's arms, saying: Take the things back and honor your mother. Liu Shuanglin didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it, and finally he accepted it with aggrieved, shrugged, and walked into the night in despair. Li Yaling also felt wronged, she cried out with tears in her eyes: Dad, you shouldn't treat him like this. Li Zhishu said: I have seen this kind of people a lot, they are just talking nonsense.I dare say that within two years, he will have to return to our Fangmagou, so you are willing to marry such a worthless person? Li Zhishu had made a final decision on Liu Shuanglin's coffin, and Li Yaling had no idea.
