Gao Jialin put his bicycle on the side of the road, and then leaned on the bridge railing of the Dama River, looking down at the water of the Dama River bypassing the twists and turns, passing under the bridge, and entering the county river. .He is here waiting for Qiaozhen.Yesterday he asked Sanxing, who had returned to the village, to send a message to Qiaozhen, asking her to come to the county today.He decided to release his relationship with Qiaozhen today.He neither wanted to go back to Gaojia Village to finish the matter, nor did he want to be in the office.He estimated that Qiaozhen would be in pain, and he couldn't get off the stage because of the disturbance on the spot.

The day before yesterday, Lao Jing asked him to go to Liujiawan Commune in two days to interview Akita's management experience, and he suddenly decided to put this matter on the bridge of Dama River.Because the road to Liujiawan Commune happened to cross the Dama River Bridge and turned to another Sichuan road.After talking here, the two of them can go their separate ways very quickly, and no one can see the other...Gao Jialin leaned on the bridge railing, thinking over and over how he would tell Qiaozhen about this matter.At the beginning, I thought about many kinds of words, but I didn't think they would work.He simply felt that it was better to be straightforward.Turning around, isn't it all about breaking up with her in the final analysis?When he was thinking this way, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Jialing..." The shout was like a sharp knife stabbing him in the heart!

He turned around and saw that Qiaozhen was already standing in front of him pushing the cart.She came so fast!Yes, for what he asked, she always did her best to satisfy him. "Brother Jialing, nothing happened! Yesterday I heard Sanxing say that you asked me to come here. I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night, so I went to ask Sanxing to see if you were sick, and he said no..." She Putting the bicycle close to Jialin's car, he walked towards him while talking, and leaned on the bridge railing together with him. When Gao Jialin saw that she was wearing a new suit today, she was all well-groomed and beautiful, and was immediately moved and a little sad.

He was afraid that his will would be disintegrated again by his emotions, so he quickly entered the topic. "Qiaozhen..." "Well." She looked up and saw his sad face, and asked distressedly, "What's wrong with you?" Jialin turned his head to the side and said, "I want to tell you something, but it's hard to open my mouth..." Qiaozhen looked at him kindly, and said lovingly, "Brother Jialing, tell me! If you have something to say, just tell me, don't hold it in your heart!" "I'm afraid you will cry if I say it." Qiaozhen was taken aback.But she still said: "You tell me, I... don't cry!"

"Qiaozhen..." "Um..." "I may have to transfer to a place thousands of miles away to work, let's..." Qiaozhen stuffed her finger in her mouth and bit it painfully.After a while, he said: "Then you... go." "What are you going to do?" "..." "I mainly think about this..." There was a long silence.Two strings of teardrops trickled down Qiaozhen's cheeks quietly.Her two hands clutched the railing of the bridge convulsively, and said with a choked voice: "...Brother Jialing, stop talking! I understand what you mean! You... go! I will never get you involved! Brother Jialing, after you started working, I have thought about it countless times. Although I love you to death, I know that I am not good enough for you. It drags down your work... You go your own way, find a better partner everywhere... You worry about going outside, the place of life is sparse, unlike our hometown... Brother Jialing, you don't know, what did I do? Love you……"

Qiaozhen couldn't continue, she took out her handkerchief and stuffed it in her mouth! Tears welled up in Gao Jialin's eyes.He didn't look at Qiaozhen, and said, "You...were crying..." Qiaozhen shook her head, tears streaming down her face, falling into the Dama River under the bridge one after another.The clear and bright Dama River flows through the bridge hole and into the yellow county river... Silence... Silence... The whole world seems to be silent... Qiaozhen turned around quickly and said, "Brother Jialing...I'm leaving!" He wanted to stop her, but didn't.His head bowed deeply in front of Qiaozhen, in front of the whole world.

She walked over staggeringly, got on her bicycle with difficulty, and then ran towards Dama River without looking back.When Jialin raised his head, there were only green crops and an empty loess road in front of him... Gao Jialin also jumped on his bike and turned to the road leading to the commune in Liujiawan.He pedaled crazily, the wind whistling in his ears, and the road in front of him turned into a blurred, fluttering yellow belt... He rode to a place where no one was around, and turned his bicycle sharply into a small ditch on the side of the road.He threw the car to the ground, fell down on a piece of grass, covered his face with his hands, and wailed loudly like a child.At this moment, he hated and hated himself!An hour later, he washed his face by a sink in the ditch, and then pushed the car onto the road again.Now he felt a little more relaxed.In front of my eyes, the green mountains and green waters under the sun are vivid; the sky is as blue as washed, without a trace of cloud.An eagle circled overhead for a while, then flew towards the distant sky like an arrow...

Five days later, Gao Jialin returned to the county from Liujiawan Commune, and started their new love life with Huang Yaping. The way they fall in love is totally "modern". They wore bathing suits, and at noon they went swimming in the water pool outside the city.After swimming, I lay on the beach by the river and basked in the sun wearing sunglasses.In the evening, they would spend their time in Donggang; talk about the sky and the earth; or sing one after another.According to her own aesthetic point of view, Huang Yaping quickly redressed Gao Jialin: a brown coat with a large lapel, sky blue material trousers, and a beige raincoat.She also re-permed her hair and tied it with a red ribbon, which looked very romantic.All of them are fashionable ready-to-wear from Shanghai.

Sometimes, when they came back from playing in the field, two of them rode a bicycle, as if deliberately attracting attention. Huang Yaping led Gao Jialin through the streets of the county town triumphantly... They were indeed too eye-catching.The whole city is talking about them, and many people call them "amateur overseas Chinese".But they ignore the public opinion of the society at all, and are madly intoxicated in their romantic love.Gao Jialin was not willing to do this at first.But Huang Yaping said that they will leave this county soon, what would others think of them!She wanted Gao Jialin to be more free and easy, and to come to the city in the future so that he could quickly adapt to life there.Gao Jialin held an "internship" attitude and let Huang Yaping toss around.

Of course he was very excited, because Huang Yaping brought him to another world of life.He was as excited by the novelty as he had been in a car for the first time when he was fourteen. Of course he also has dissatisfaction and worries.He had in-depth contact with Yaping before he felt that she was too willful.He is with her, unlike him and Qiaozhen, everything is up to him, she is absolutely obedient to him.But Huang Yaping is not like this.She dominated him mostly according to her will, making him obey her. Sometimes when they were extremely happy, he would suddenly think of Qiaozhen, and his heart would hurt like a knife, and his mood would drop from boiling point to freezing point, which made Huang Yaping, who was in high spirits, very frustrated.For a moment Yaping couldn't figure out why he was so emotionally disturbed.Moved very distressed.So, in order to change his situation, she sometimes fiddled with ways and means, which made Gao Jialin's abnormal phenomenon frequently intensified, which in turn aggravated her distress.Sometimes they are simply a bitter love!One morning, it was raining heavily, and the Propaganda Department of the county party committee was holding a plenary meeting.The phone room next door called Gao Jialin to answer the phone.

Jialin picked up the microphone and heard it was Yaping's voice.She told him that one of her imported apple peeling knives had been lost in the place where they were playing yesterday, and Gao Jialin asked Gao Jialin to find it for her there. Jialin told her on the phone that he was in a meeting now, and it was raining so hard, he would go again during the lunch break. Yaping immediately acted coquettishly on the phone, saying that he was so indifferent to her even in such a matter, she was very uncomfortable; and she was still sobbing on the phone. Gao Jialin was so annoyed that he had no choice but to go to the meeting room and lie to the minister who presided over the meeting, saying that an acquaintance asked him to come down on the street for an urgent matter, and he had to go out for a while. After the minister agreed, he went back to the dormitory to wear the raincoat, rode a bike and ran away.Before we got to the street, the raincoat was completely soaked.He braved the heavy rain and rushed to the small depression where they had stayed in the south of the county seat.He got out of the car and searched the place for the knife.After searching for a long time, he turned over almost every grass, but he still couldn't find it.Although he didn't find it, he thought he had done his duty in this matter, so he was drenched and ran to the radio station on his bicycle, telling her that the knife was not found. He pushed open Yaping's door, saw her smiling excitedly, and said, "Have you gone?" Galin said, "I went. I didn't find it." Yaping giggled suddenly, and took out the knife from her pocket. "Did you find it?" Galin asked. "So it's not lost! I deliberately joked with you to see how much you can hear me! Don't be angry, I'm impromptu romantic..." "Bastard! Cliché!" Gao Jialin cursed angrily, his lips trembling.He quickly turned around and left.Only now did Huang Yaping realize that her prank was too much, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, so she cried alone in the house. Gao Jialin returned to the office, changed into wet clothes, and lay down on the bed in pain.At this time, Qiaozhen's figure appeared in front of his eyes again, her beautiful and kind face smiled at him tenderly and sweetly.He couldn't help but buried his head in the pillow and cried, murmuring her name over and over again... The next day, Huang Yaping bought a lot of canned food and other food and came to him. She also cried and apologized to him, promising not to make him angry again. Seeing her like this, Jialin reconciled with her.Huang Yaping was like strong wine, which gave him a headache and made him intoxicated.But all this madness she had for him was also out of love for him—he felt it most intensely.In terms of material, she is very open-minded to him.Almost all of her salary was spent on him: she bought him a variety of fashionable clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and asked someone to buy a pair of three-jointed leather shoes in Beijing (he hadn't dared to wear them yet).Usually, canned food, pastries, high-grade milk sugar, coffee, cocoa powder, and malted milk extract are constantly brought to him—— Even the secretary of the county party committee probably doesn't eat these things very often, and she even gave him an automatic watch with a calendar that she imported; she herself brought his Shanghai brand watch.In these aspects, Yaping can make sacrifices... Soon, they fell into that romantic love again. When Gao Jialin and Huang Yaping were "romantic", his father and the old man Deshun suddenly came to his residence one day. As soon as the two old men entered his office, their faces were ugly. Gao Jialin set a table for them with toffee, fruit, and pastries; he made two cups of thick sugar water and placed them in front of them. None of them eat or drink.Gao Jialin knew what they were going to say, so he sat down respectfully in front of the people, lowered his head, and touched his face with both hands in order to adjust his uneasy mood. "You sold your conscience! Jialin..." the old man Deshun spoke first. "Qiaozhen is such a good child, you left her on the road! You are a sinner! Jialin, I kissed you since childhood and watched you grow up. I will tell you the truth! In the final analysis, You are a seedling growing out of our soil, your roots should be rooted in our soil! You are a bean sprouts now! There is no soil on your roots, so light and light, I don’t know if you are going to heaven or to the ground! You ...I dare to say anything to you! You have suffered Qiaozhen, and in the end you have hurt yourself..." The old man couldn't continue, closed his eyes, and took a long breath. His father then opened his mouth: "At the beginning, I said you don't want to get involved with Liben's woman, she has a high reputation! On the other hand, now that you have made people high, you can no longer do unconscionable things! Besides , that Qiaozhen is indeed a good doll. After you left, you often carry water for us, cook for your mother, grind the mill, feed the pigs... Oh, what a doll! Don't watch you float high, because of you? Conscience, people in Yichuan Road look down on you now! Neither your mother nor I dare to show our faces in front of the public, and people call you a brat! I heard that you have found a foreign woman now, our poor How does Jia Boye serve the next family? You, break up this marriage as soon as possible..." "People often say that you float high and fall hard!" The old man Deshun followed his father to teach him, "No matter what time you are, we are old people and you can't lose it at all..." "I don't often go to the city, Today, I specially invited you, Lord Deshun, to give you a few words! You are still young and don’t understand the world, and the days of living will be long in the future! Dad was almost forty years old when he got you as an only seedling. I'm afraid you might make a mistake on the road of being a living person..." His father said, his old eyes filled with tears. The two old men talked for a while, very emotional. Gao Jialin kept his head down, like a prisoner under trial. After a long time, he raised his head, sighed and said, "You may be right, but I've already got on the hook, and I can't get off. Besides, you have your way of speaking, and I have my way of living! I I don’t want to be like you again, just digging in the soil of our Gaojia Village for the rest of my life...I’ll buy you food..." He stood up to make a fuss, but the two old people also stood up, saying that they were old and had stiff legs , I have to get up and go on the road quickly, or I won’t be able to return to Gaojia Village if it gets dark.They didn't want to eat at all, but in fact they still wanted to say a lot to him; but now it seemed that they couldn't say anything anymore—this man had his own way, and their philosophy of life could no longer convince him. up.So they got up and said goodbye. Seeing that they were determined to leave, Gao Jialin had no choice but to accompany them and send them to the bridge of the Dama River.The two old men left with a rather heavy heart. Gao Jialin himself was very sad.What Master Deshun said to his father sounded very common, but it was poured into his heart like lead... Soon, a new piece of news suddenly made Gao Jialin ecstatic again: the provincial newspaper would organize a short-term journalism training course, and let each county go to study alone for a month.The Propaganda Department of the county party committee has decided to let him go. After he heard the news, the bad situation caused by Master Deshun's father quickly disappeared.He was so happy that he didn't fall asleep all night - this was the first time in his life that he went out far, into the provincial capital, to visit a big city! On the day of departure, Yaping followed him to the station.What he was wearing and what he carried in his bag were all carefully prepared for him by her.And she insisted that he put on the three-jointed leather shoes.The first time he walked in these leather shoes, he was moved, awkward and energetic... When the car drove out of the station gate, and Yaping's smiling face and her waving arms flashed by, his heart quickly followed the speeding car. ;Flew to the boundless wilderness far away and the big city flying red and green...
