Chapter 18 8

By the small river, at dusk.Wu Zhenqing is constantly playing in the water.Friends continue to criticize him. Tsui Hark said angrily: "What do parents expect? I hope you will be like a big brother and take care of us, don't you? But you yourself have a big fall first! You said that if you are labeled as a counter-revolutionary, let us report to you." How do your parents explain it? What about Big Brother..." Han Debao said: "No, if you really become a counter-revolutionary, it will be difficult for us to be human! Draw a line with you, it will appear that we have no feelings and righteousness. If we don't draw a line with you, we will lose our political stand."

Hao Mei said, "Wu Zhenqing, what makes me most angry is that you shouldn't be hypocritical, double-faced, or lie to everyone." Wu Zhenqing was about to throw himself into the water, staring at Hao Mei, holding his hand in mid-air, and was stunned. Hao Mei said: "You obviously like Zhang Meng in your heart, why do you still pretend to dislike Zhang Meng in front of us? If we had known that you liked her, not only would we not object, but we would also create conditions for you to get in touch." Wang Xiaosong seemed to be an expert and said, "You don't understand this, so don't blame him."

Hao Mei asked strangely: "Then you understand it very well?" Wang Xiaosong said awkwardly: "I...Of course I don't understand either! So I didn't talk nonsense." Wu Zhenqing threw the stone into the water, stood up, patted Wang Xiaosong's shoulder, hesitated to speak, turned around and left. Tsui Hark said to Hao Mei: "You are serious, which pot is not open and which pot to carry!" Hao Mei looked at Wu Zhenqing's back and regretted it for a while. Han Debao said: "Haven't you heard people say that love can make a fool smart, and it can make a wise man a fool."

Hao Mei said: "Really..." She couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaosong, clearly, a little bit worried that he would become a fool in the future. Wang Xiaosong said, "What are you looking at me for?" He turned his face away unnaturally. Wu Zhenqing was crying while hugging a tree.Crying and beating the tree trunk.A big hand lightly patted his shoulder. He stopped crying immediately, and turned his head slowly - it was the company commander.The company commander said: "Grievance? Pain? I have already seen the small drama between you two! Without that crooked belly, who told you to eat sickle head? Come with me, I will teach you a few lessons... ..."

The two walked casually in the birch forest. The company commander said as he walked: "I have also suffered from this kind of bitter fruit. The price is even heavier than you. I was in my twenties and was a small guard platoon leader. I didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and I fell in love with a chief in our army compound. Daughter. Of course, she also likes me very much. I love her, she likes me, just such a little difference, destined to be only a love exercise." "What's the difference?" "This difference is fatal. It's a pity that I didn't understand it at the beginning. Later, her father found out about our affairs. Her father was furious, saying that a small guard platoon leader dared to dream of being my son-in-law! I can’t even be a small platoon leader! So I changed from a security platoon leader to a security soldier. Her father was still worried, so I was forced to take off my military uniform, left the army compound, and left Beijing. The demobilization order sent me to the Great Northern Wilderness."

Wu Zhenqing asked: "Then... what about her? What about the daughter?" The company commander smiled wryly: "She, when I left the military compound, I gave me a notebook as a child. It said - farming is glorious. She also said to me: 'I really like you!' I went to the Great Northern Wilderness for three She married a month later. Married to a man twelve years older than her, a senior vice president. After all these years, she may have forgotten me. Even if I occasionally think of me, I guess she will laugh at herself It's absurd to like a farmer's son, a little guard platoon leader."

Wu Zhenqing asked: "Company commander, do you really think so?" "Yeah! I often laugh at my absurdity back then. I fell in love with a commander's daughter." "Then...you still love her now?" "I don't have such a long life. Why am I so stupid? I have to make trouble with myself? Isn't that stupid!" Wu Zhenqing said: "Then...you have fallen in love with someone else?" The company commander sighed: "Not so lucky. In the past few years, women on the ground in the Great Northern Wilderness were even harder to see than Siberian tigers."

"Do you hate her?" "Hate?" The company commander glanced at Wu Zhenqing and said, "You are the same as me, and you will always have the same experience—one cannot really hate a woman he loved, can he?" Wu Zhenqing nodded. The company commander said: "Her eyes are very special. Well, just like that eye." The company commander pointed to a poplar tree—one "eye" of the poplar tree, and seemed to be looking at them with a smile. He went on to say: "Our company is a new company. We just built a few bad dormitories for the winter. We can't just build new houses and nurseries, right? That's a matter for the future. So, I propose, You are so young, don’t be too busy talking about love, if you are anxious as a couple, and I have no right to approve your early marriage, don’t I have to worry about it for you? Right?” Wu Zhenqing said embarrassingly Laughed and nodded.

When the two left, Wu Zhenqing looked back at the poplar tree—the "single eye" of the poplar tree followed them with a smile.
Male educated youth dormitory.Tsui Hark poked his head out and saw the male educated youth who was particularly active in criticizing Wu Zhenqing approaching, turned his head and said confidentially: "Support! Support!" He immediately retracted his head... Unexpectedly, the male educated youth walked not far from the door but did not go in. It turned out that he saw Wang Xiaosong throwing down the axe and hugging firewood, so he hesitated for a moment, then walked over, flatteringly said: "Squad leader, I will hug you for you." The two walked to the door with firewood in their arms.

The male educated youth stepped aside, and continued to flatter: "Squad leader...you...you advanced." Wang Xiaosong turned around, and just as he pushed the door open with his back, a basin of water poured down on him, splashing him like a drowned rat. Tsui Hark and Han Debao covered their mouths and sniggered.Wang Xiaosong turned around - they were stunned unexpectedly. Wang Xiaosong glared at them angrily.After the educated youth realized it, he gloated and said, "Hey, squad leader, if I had known that they framed you like this, I would have advanced. I would rather suffer for you!"

In this way, these boys and girls began to accept the test of contradictions between individuals and themselves, individuals and others, individuals and groups in the vast world.They love each other, but they will inevitably try to hurt each other from time to time; they have learned to protect their own little cunning, and to retaliate against other people's little plots, and they have also learned to reflect on themselves and accept lessons.And most importantly, in the face of hardships and hardships, they have learned to identify which are the most valuable qualities and spirits of human beings...
