noon.Jing Ruohong's office. Lao Jing is writing something.He heard a knock on the door outside.He opened the door, walked out, and saw Huang Yaping standing at the door of Jialin's office. Lao Jing was about to say something when he heard Jialin shouting from the room: "Who?" Yabo smiled embarrassedly at Lao Jing, and said to Jialin in the room, "I..." Galin: "Wait a minute..." Jialin opened the door, Yabo nodded to the old spot, and entered Jialin's room. Lao Jing returned to his office. daytime.Gallin's office.Yabo sat on a chair, and Jialin poured water for her.

While pouring water, Jialin asked, "Why didn't Kernan come?" Ya Bo: "He's an industrialist now, so he doesn't want to visit." Jialin put the water in front of Yaping, went to sit on his bed, and said: "Kenan is indeed an industrialist. I have seen this characteristic in him very early on. The country needs such talents now..." Yaping took a sip of tea and joked, "Don't talk about Kenan, let him be his industrialist... Tell me about you, you must be exhausted! Those disaster reports in Nanmahe are so well written, There were a few articles that I shed tears when broadcasting..."

Jialin: "It's not as good as you said. It's the first time to write this kind of article, and it's very amateurish. It's all up to Mr. Jing to revise." While drinking tea, Yaping looked at Jialin and said, "You seem to have lost some weight, but Stronger and taller than in school..." Jialin was a little embarrassed by her look, and prevaricated: "After two days of working as a working people, he may be stronger than before." Aware of Jialin's embarrassment, Yaping also shyly looked away from Jialin and lowered her head to drink tea.They were silent for a while.Yaping: "...I am so happy that you are in the city, and I have someone to talk to again... You don't know, people can be suffocated to death these few years! I really want to chat with someone in the sky and the earth, all There is no one left in the city!"

Jialin laughed and said, "You're talking too much. There are many people like this. Maybe it's because you don't know much about it. You're too arrogant. It's not easy for ordinary people to get close to you." Yaping also laughed and said: "There may be reasons for this, but I do feel a little dull. I hope there is something romantic." Jialin said casually: "Fortunately, there is Kenan..." Yaping: "Kenan, you don't know! She has a good heart and has helped me a lot in the past two years, but I always feel that there are too few interesting things about her.... You came to our house at noon today Let's go eat?"

Galin: "No, no, I'm not used to having dinner with strangers at all." Yaping asked a little wronged: "Am I a stranger?" Galin: "I mean I don't know your parents." Yaping: "The first time is raw, the second time is familiar!" Galin: "Thank you for your kindness. I..." Yaping: "Afraid of people?" Jialin: "Yes." Yaping: "Hillbilly!" She giggled after speaking.Jialin was not angry, but also smiled and said: "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. You are a country bumpkin... Hey, you used to like literature and often wrote poems. Why don't you write poetry now?" Yaping: "Recently I'm trying to make up a little poem, and I'm about to ask you for advice..."

Yaping took out a small piece of paper from her pocket, walked up to Jialin, and handed it to him. Galin took the paper and looked at it.Yaping's voice-over: To Jialin, I hope you are a wild goose with wings, free to love every piece of blue sky; whichever piece of land is more suitable for your survival, you should regard it as your home. After reading it, Jialin said nervously and embarrassedly: "The poem... is written... well, but I don't understand...why should I be a... wild goose?" He handed the poem to Yaping.Yaping looked at him affectionately, and said mischievously: "You keep it. You will gradually understand why you are a wild goose!"

Galin smiled bewilderedly. Both felt uncomfortable. Yaping looked at her watch and said, "...yo, it's almost time for the broadcast...you are here...I'm leaving!" Jialin sent Yaping out of the door. During the day, Yaping’s dormitory.Yaping lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She pulled the pillowcase from under her head and covered her face. She heard a knock at the door.She asked annoyedly: "Who?" Kernan's voice outside the door: "I..." Anxiously, she went down and opened the door. As soon as Kenan came in, he said excitedly: "Come to my house to eat fish at noon! The fresh fish just caught from the reservoir..." Yaping said angrily: "You just know what to eat! Eat!"

She went and lay on the bed again, covering her face with the pillowcase. Kenan went over and gently removed the towel off Yaping's face. Yaping snatched it away, covered her face again, and shouted, "Go away!" Kenan took two steps back in confusion, and said like crying, "What happened to you today?..." After a while, Yaping sat up and said to Kenan: "Don't be angry, I'm not feeling well today..." Kenan: "Then can you watch the movie tonight?" He took out the movie "I heard that this movie is good. It's called "Eternal Love" from Pakistan..." Yaping sighed and said, "I...go."

Street Cang and the small dirt road on the hillside. Autumn has come.The land in the distance is yellowish.The dead leaves are falling, and the vegetation is bleak. Yaping walked briskly excitedly, the wind fluttering her beautiful long hair, like a burning flame... County Party Committee Communication Group.Yaping came to the door of Jialin's office. She saw the hanger lock on the door.She hesitated for a moment, and knocked on Lao Jing's door. The old scene came out.Yaping immediately asked him: "Lao Jing, did Jialin go to the countryside?" Lao Jing: "No. It was still there just now, maybe I went out for a walk."

Yaping hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where does he often go for a walk?" Lao Jing glanced at Yaping warily and said, "Maybe I went to Donggang... Is there something urgent?" Yaping said shyly, "No...Thank you." She turned and walked away. evening.Donggang.The groves are colorful in autumn. With a book under his chest, Jialin walked slowly, muttering a few English words repeatedly at the corner of his mouth.He suddenly saw Yaping coming from the path ahead. When Yaping got closer, Jialin said to her, "Why are you here?" Yaping put her hands in her pockets and said with a smile: "This is not your family's ancestral grave, why can't others come up?"

Jialin: "Speaking is like shooting a gun! It's getting dark, you are alone..." Yaping: "Who said I am alone?" Jialin looked at her from the way she came from and said, "Kenan? Why don't you see him?" Yaping: "He's not my tail, what are you doing with me?" Galin: "Who else is there?" Yaping: "Aren't you a human being?" Jialin: "Me?" Yaping: "Yes!" They walked forward together slowly. night.Donggang.Jialin and Yaping were sitting on a ridge, holding a few leaves in their hands.From the foot of the mountain, you can see the county town flickering with fire. Yaping: "I'm leaving..." Galin: "Where are you going on a business trip?" Yaping: "It's not a business trip, it's leaving here forever!" Galin was taken aback.Yaping: "Father will soon transfer to his hometown Nanjing to work, and I will transfer there too." Ye.Donggang.They were leaning against a tree. Jialin carved Yaping's eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to go?" Yaping looked longingly at the bright starry sky in the distance, and said affectionately: "Of course I am willing to go. The south is my hometown. I grew up there. Although I went to the north with my parents, I miss me in my dreams." The beautiful hometown of..." She murmured: "Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery is familiar to me: at sunrise, the flowers on the river are red, and the river is as green as blue in spring. Can you not remember Jiangnan?..." Jialin couldn't help but continued her reading: "Jiangnan memories, the most recalled is Hangzhou: looking for osmanthus in the moon in the mountain temple, watching the tide from the pillow in the county pavilion. When will you visit again?..." Yaping looked at Jialin enthusiastically: "Nanjing is very close to Hangzhou. There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Suzhou is in Jiangsu Province..." Jialin sighed and said, "I will never be able to go to those places in my life!" Yaping smiled and asked, "Do you want to go?" Galin: "I even want to go to the United Nations!" Yaping: "I'm asking if you want to go to Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai?" Galin: "There will be no chance to travel to those places." Yaping: "It's not interesting to play in those places by yourself!" Jialin: "You won't be alone, Keran will accompany you!" Yaping: "I hope it's not him, but you!" Galin was extremely shocked. night.Donggang.On the path in the forest, Jialin and Yaping walked slowly. Yaping's voice: "...you know, I liked you when I was in school...we were young and didn't know much about these things. Then you went back to the countryside...now I know that the person I really love is You...Kenan, I am not disgusted, but I can't develop feelings for him, in fact, my parents love him more than me..." night.Donggang.They were standing under a grassy ridge. Yaping continued: "Let's live together! Go to Nanjing with our family! You are a very promising person, and you will have great development in a big city...I will let my father try to get you to the "Xinhua News Agency" through the relationship. Daily News to be a reporter..." Jialin pulled a blade of grass from the ridge, shivered and said, "I can't bear the cold... let's go... don't worry, let me think about it..." Yaping Nod to him.daytime.Gallin's office.Qiaozhen put the small basket containing red dates, pears and apples on Jialin's desk, and threw herself into Jialin's arms.Jialin hurriedly pushed her away and said, "This is not in the crop field, my leader is right next door...you sit, let me pour it for you." Qiaozhen didn't sit down, looked at Jialin affectionately, and said aggrievedly: "You are gone, and you will never come back... I have been looking for you in the city several times, and people say that you have gone to the countryside..." Jialin Lin put the water glass on the table and said, "I'm really busy!" Qiaozhen didn't drink any water, so she went to tidy up Jialin's quilt, touched the quilt again, and muttered, "The quilt is too thin, so let me refill you with some new cotton... It's cold, and the quilt is bare. Felt doesn’t work either, I’ll bring you the dog-skin mattress from our house…” Jialin: “Ah, the dog-skin mattress is weighed down in this county party committee office, it’s so hairy, it’s a joke…” Qiaozhen: “The dog skin is warm... ..." Galin: "Ah, you..." Qiaozhen: "Samsung has already opened a tractor, Qiaoling has taught school, and she has not been admitted to university..." Jialin: "I have told me about these three stars, I already know." Qiaozhen: "The old sow in your family gave birth to twelve piglets, one was crushed to death by the old sow, and the rest..." Jialin: "Oh, how about this? Isn't there ten pigs left? Is there one? You drink water!" Qiaozhen: "There are eleven left. But, the next day, another one died... originally..." Jialin: "Oh, oh, please stop talking. " Galin was a little annoyed.Qiaozhen felt it, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, wondering how to make Jialin like her.Seeing her like this, Jialin walked up to her very distressed and said, "Let me go to the cafeteria to buy food for us, and we can eat together." Qiaozhen stood up and said, "I'm not hungry at all, I have to go back quickly. I left my hoe in the field to drive the Samsung tractor, and no one in my family said..." She took out a roll of money from her bosom, handed it to Jialin, and said, "Brother Jialing, you spend a lot of money in the city, and your salary is not high. I'll give you fifty yuan, and you won't be able to eat enough on the stove. You just go to the street to buy something to eat... I will buy you another pair of sports shoes, I heard from Samsung that you often play ball, and you have to pay for your shoes... The bonus for the first half of the year has already been distributed, and I have distributed ninety-two yuan—" Jialin He grabbed her hand, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Now I have money, and I can eat enough... With this money, you can buy you some fashionable clothes..." Qiaozhen: "You must take it!" Jialin: "If you do this again, I will be angry!" Qiaozhen just said: "Then I will keep it for you. Whenever you are short of money, I will give it to you..." Jialin suddenly remembered something, ran to open the cabinet door, took out a red scarf, and said: " I bought it for you a long time ago, but I forgot to bring it to you... Come, let me wrap it up for you!" Jialin went over to wrap the red scarf around Qiaozhen's head, and then took a few steps back to see if it was okay.Qiaozhen threw herself into his arms and cried... night.Lighted stadium.The men's basketball game had just ended, and Garin was standing on the sidelines watching the women's basketball game. The women's basketball game is in full swing. Huang Yaping was very active, throwing the ball into the net with graceful posture from time to time. The audience cheered for her.Jialin stared intently at Yaping on the field. He suppressed a kind of excitement, and left the court silently... He stood preoccupied on the steep bank. He wandered over the frost-covered grass. He brooded at his desk.He walked anxiously among the trees with fallen leaves in Donggang. He saw the enthusiastic Yaping walking towards him, but he avoided her. Various faces of Yaping and Qiaozhen appear alternately before his eyes... Galin's voice-over: ...what to do?I knew I was facing a very serious choice.God witness, I have a sweetheart in my heart.If I had been a farmer all my life, I would have been content with her...but now?If I marry Qiaozhen, I will actually be tied to this county, and I am always yearning to live in a wider world... Now I have to think about love and my future together ! ...In this way, Yaping is undoubtedly my ideal lover...Of course, my conscience is very disturbed...You are a bastard!You don't want to have a conscience, what do you want to do with a conscience!Yes, now that you have decided, don't look back!Don't be weak!For a great future, sacrifices must be made!Be cruel to yourself sometimes! ... daytime.Garlin's yard.A pile of golden corn.Qiaozhen wore the red scarf Jialin gave her on her head, and sat cross-legged on the ground with Jialin's mother to melt corn kernels. The old man Yude walked into the yard carrying the pickaxe.He put down the picket and squatted on the ground to melt the corn.Qiaozhen went back to the kiln and took out a small bench and handed it to the old man Yude. The three of them happily worked together. night.Qiaozhen's cave dwelling.Qiaoling was lying under the quilt, reading a book. Qiaozhen leaned over the table to read and write. She scribbled down the words people, earth, mountains, water, big, and upper in a small book.There was the crowing of a rooster.Qiaoling put down the book and said, "Second Sister, go to sleep!" Qiaozhen didn't answer, but continued to write. Qiaoling: "It's enough to read five characters a day. If you memorize too much, you won't be able to remember it. Maybe you'll forget what you've learned..." Qiaozhen still didn't answer.Qiaozhen suddenly came to the front of the kang, took a pen and a small book, and asked Qiaoling, how do you write high characters? Qiaoling: "What's the height?" "Qiaozhen: "It's...Gao with the surname Gao..." Qiaoling took Qiaozhen's pen and notebook in the quilt tube, and wrote "Gao Jialin" on it.Qiaoling pointed to Xiaoben and said to Qiaozhen: "Gao, Jia, Lin!" Qiaoling laughs, Qiaozhen hits Qiaoling... daytime.Gallin's office. Jialin sat on the edge of the bed, and Yaping sat in the chair opposite him. Just after Jialin finished talking about him and Qiaozhen, he said to Yaping: "...That's it, I fell in love with Qiaozhen." After Jialin finished speaking, he leaned against the quilt uncomfortably. Yaping didn't speak for a long time, and then she said with a regretful expression: "So you wanted to marry an illiterate rural woman?" Jialin nodded: "Yes." Yaping: "You are an educated high school student full of talents, how can you marry an illiterate rural woman? This is a kind of self-destruction!" Jialin jumped up angrily, and shouted: "Shut up! I was covered in dust, and I was just a commoner. Which of your city ladies will love me?" Yaping was stunned for a moment, and she said softly: "You are so fierce...Kenan has never been so angry with me..." Jialin: "Go to your Kenan!" Yaping walked up to him excitedly, and said, "Jalin, don't be angry. I'm not angry when you get angry with me, but I'm happy instead. You don't know, even if Kenan puts the knife on his neck, he won't be angry." Smiling at you, you are so angry that you can only cry. I like your character! A man, a man, full of blood!" Jialin: "I have a bad temper, and you may not be able to stand living together in the future." Yaping suddenly grabbed his shoulder in surprise: "Then you mean, you are willing to live with me? "Garin was noncommittal (or acquiesced). Jialin: "I have to clarify this matter with Qiaozhen. To tell you the truth, I am very painful." Yaping: "Yes. You should end your misfortunes soon!" Galin: "It could also be an unfortunate end!" night.Yaping's yard.The two kilns next to each other are bright and dark. Yaping knocked on the unlit door: "Dad, Mom, get up and come over to me. I have something important to tell you!" There was a nervous sigh in the kiln. Yaping pursed her lips and smiled.night.Yaping's cave dwelling.Parents came in one after another while getting dressed.They asked nervously, "What happened?" Yaping smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's not urgent, but it's shocking!" Yaping's father stared in puzzlement. Yaping's mother: "Oh, so Pingping! If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, you're driving me to death!" Yaping: "It's very complicated, but tonight I'll give you an overview... That's it, I've already I'm with another gay man, and I'm already in love. Therefore, I want to cut off relations with Kernan..." The old couple suddenly panicked and shouted: "What? What? What?" Yaping: "For me, this can't be changed anymore. I know you love Kenan very much, but I don't like him..." Yaping's mother threw herself on Yaping's bed and cried. Yaping's father: "It's been more than two years since you... and Kenan... and everyone in the city knows it! Lao Zhang, your mother and Kenan's mother, this relationship... Oh my god, you wayward thing Your mother and I have spoiled you, and now you're making us sad! You're a typical bourgeoisie! You young people are such a pain in the ass! The beat generation! The lawless generation!" Yaping couldn't stand her father's yelling, so she fell on the table and began to cry. Yaping's mother cried and said to the old man: "Even if Pingping is wrong, you can't yell at my baby like this..." Yaping's father growled, "You spoiled it all?" Yaping's mother was also angry: "Aren't you used to it?" Yaping's father was so angry that he twisted his body and went out. noon.Kernan's living room.Kernan's mother was watering the flowers in the corner with a watering can, and Kernan was sitting on the sofa reading the letter. Kernan suddenly threw the letter aside, threw himself on the sofa and cried. Keran's mother ran over and asked, "Nannan, what's the matter with you?" Kenan: "Yaping wrote a letter... and I... broke up..." Keran's mother asked in shock, "Why?" Kernan collapsed on the sofa and did not speak. Keran's mother picked up the letter, and after reading it, she asked Keran, "Where is Gao Jialin from?" Kernan still didn't speak.winter is here.The sharp cold wind swept across the desolate Loess Plateau... Flying snowflakes... white-capped mountains... during the day, on a simple road.Snowflakes fluttered.Qiaozhen wore a red turban on her head, and was riding a bicycle in the wind and snow.On the rear rack of the car was a dog skin mattress rolled up in a roll. daytime.On the Dama River Bridge.Jialin leaned on the railing of the bridge, looking at the snowy and confused distance. Qiaozhen's voice came from behind him: "Brother Jialing!" Jialin was startled, turned around and saw Qiaozhen supporting the car. Qiaozhen put the car away, came over excitedly, and said: "What are you doing here?" She came to him and asked distressedly: "Brother Jialing, are you okay? I heard Sanxing said you sent me a message and thought you were sick, so he went to ask Sanxing again, and he said you were not sick..." Qiaozhen said, smiling.She took out a small piece of paper from her body, handed it to Jialin and said, "Brother Jialing, Qiaoling has taught me a lot of words... Look at what I wrote..." Jialin reluctantly took the piece of paper, I saw that the upper half of the piece of paper was crookedly written with food, clothing, labor, the earth, us... the lower half was filled with the words "Gao Jialin".Galin put the piece of paper in his pocket, with a cloud of misery hanging over his face. Qiaozhen asked naively: "What? Is it because I didn't write well?" Jialin didn't say anything, and turned his head to the side. Jialin called out in embarrassment: "Qiaozhen..." Qiaozhen: "Yeah." Galin: "I... want to tell you something, but it's hard to say it..." Qiaozhen: "Brother Jialing, tell me! Since you have something in your heart, tell me, don't keep it in your heart." Jialin: "Speak out, I'm afraid you will cry!" Qiaozhen was taken aback for a moment, but she still said, "Just tell me, I...don't cry!" Jialin: "Qiaozhen..." Qiaozhen: "Um..." Jialin: "I may have to transfer to a place thousands of miles away to work. Let's..." Qiaozhen stuffed her finger in her mouth , biting painfully. The pervasive wind and snow... Qiaozhen: "Then you... go." Jialin: "What are you going to do?" Qiaozhen was silent in pain.Galin: "I mainly think about this..." silence.The snowflakes fell quietly. Two strings of teardrops trickled down Qiaozhen's face. Her hands were clutching convulsively at the bridge railing. Qiaozhen choked up and said: "...Brother Jialing, don't say any more. I understand what you mean. You...go! I will never hurt you!...Brother Jialing, after you started working , I’ve thought about it countless times, even though I love you to death, I know I’m not good enough for you. I’m illiterate, I can’t help you, and I’m a drag on your work…” Piao Fei Xuehua... Qiaozhen continued to choke, and said: "You go, find a better partner outside...you worry about going outside, the place of life is sparse, not like the fields in our hometown... Brother Jialing, You don't know how I love you..." Qiaozhen was so choked up that she couldn't speak anymore, she took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth. Tears also welled up in Galin's eyes.Without looking at Qiaozhen, he said, "You...were crying..." Qiaozhen shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She turned around suddenly and said, "Brother Jialing...I'm leaving!" She staggered over to push the cart. Jialin cried out in pain: "Qiaozhen!" Qiaozhen turned her head abruptly and cast a hopeful glance at him. But she was completely hopeless.She saw Jialin lower his head, without any sign of changing his mind.She staggered into the car and left.The dog skin mattress fell on the snow... It was snowing all over the sky.An empty road...under the bridge.Gao Jialin lay down on the snow and wept bitterly. The snow around him melted.From a distance, it looks like a pile of garbage thrown away... night.Galen's office.He leaned painfully against the bedroll. The pale moon swims among the floating clouds. The patchy ground is flickering bright and dark. The wind blows up the snow in the streets. The strong wind disturbed the thatch by the river... daytime.Gallin's office.There was a lot of food on the table, but no one moved it.The old man Yude and Master Deshun are reprimanding Jialin.Galin sat on the stool with his head bowed, like a prisoner on trial. Master Deshun pointed at Jialin with a smoking pot: "You baby sold your conscience! Qiaozhen is such a good baby, you left her on the way! You have committed a crime! Jialin, let me tell you To be honest, in the final analysis, you are a seedling that grew out of our soil, and you should put your roots in our soil! Now, you are a bean sprouts, and there is no soil on your roots!" The old man couldn't continue. , take a long breath. Yude: "... Qiaozhen... is really that doll. After you leave, you will fetch water for our house, feed the pigs, and cook for your mother... Doll, I have no conscience for you. You are scolding our ancestors! Neither your mother nor I dare to show our faces in front of people... Now I heard that you have found another foreign woman... Our poor family has a poor job, how can we serve her... You, take it as soon as possible This marriage is over!" Deshun: "People often say, if you float high, you fall hard! Be careful, kid!" Yude: "... Dad only got you as an only child when he was almost forty years old, I'm afraid you might make a mistake on the road to living..." The old man Yude was already in tears. Jialin slowly raised his head, sighed, and said, "You may be right, but I've already got on the hook, so I won't stop coming... Besides, you have your own way of life. I have mine. How to live! I don’t want to spend my whole life digging in the soil of Gaojiagou like you!” The two old people were angry, disappointed and shocked. noon.Qiaozhen's cave dwelling.She was sick and bedridden. Her mother brought a bowl of soup and put it next to her pillow. She lay unresponsive.Her mother wiped away tears.In the radio box on the wall, Yaping's voice sounded: "Comrades, what I broadcast to you just now is a newsletter written by Gao Jialin. The title is "New Era, New Youth". Congress of Activists... Now listen to the song "Youth Waltz"..." The joyful Dongqu sound.Cinema.The picture on the screen flickers on and off. Jialin and Yaping sat side by side, watching a movie with great interest. daytime.In the river.Jialin and Yaping were skating in bright sportswear. Various graceful poses for two people skating. The ice skates spin dizzyingly. They were walking hand in hand, laughing and playing, filled with joy in the atmosphere...
