Chapter 174 "Green Plum"

Comrade Guan Hua's "Ge Mei" is a lotus flower rising from the rippling spring water. The vigorous atmosphere of the suburbs all over the sky makes it extraordinarily tall, straight and charming. This article is written from a series of business contacts between "I" who is the secretary of Xuanhu Village and Ge Mei, a shop buyer aged 18 or 19.This girl is enthusiastic, responsible, hearty, and optimistic, running up and down in wind and rain, and doing a good job as a bridge between the Workers and Peasants Alliance.She never let go of an inch of time to investigate and research, and she never let go of any opportunity to mobilize farmers to sell their local products to the state, and she also tried every means to let farmers get everything needed by the brigade and individuals: farm tools, pesticides, combs, shovels, Red silk quilt, glass brick mirror... This girl also has a song that is completely suitable for this era and her own personality: "The garden in spring is so beautiful".This loud and happy singing followed her to every corner of the commune, in the fields and on the river, bringing vigorous encouragement and infectious power to the working people.

This girl is straightforward and cheerful, and she is not polite to others. People do her favors, let her eat at home, lend her clothes to wear, give her umbrellas, and give her dates to eat, and she happily accepts them all; I was also in the airtight corn field on a hot day, sweating thoroughly to investigate pests, and sending pesticides back in the middle of the night; in the midst of thunderstorms, she rolled up her trouser legs and carried a satchel, running between the various teams During the three days just after the summer harvest, we investigated and recorded the three autumn farm tools needed by each village.

She smiled and didn't answer.But we know that this young man with a high level of awareness of the working class towards the cause of socialism "likes to hide his great and unshakable aspirations, and is unwilling to announce them to others in advance, but gradually shows them in his own actions."

The author joyfully paints beautiful, bright, and heroic backgrounds for this enthusiastic and active girl in the scene of "gradually showing her actions"; he arranges a wide green river and makes her wear a lilac-colored top , holding a boat, drifting over like a lotus, making "the surrounding scenery seem to be more beautiful and charming because of it"; The short hair around her neck, blown to one side, reveals the handsome outline of her entire face."He piled the golden sheaves like neat tents on the field; he wrote the mirage on the field like a brilliant silver river, and let her figure in a lilac blouse stand in the river It trembled in the air, and from Mai Hai's side, the singing of "the garden in spring is so beautiful" came faintly.

He arranged the doorway of a big locust tree, where she would buy eggs; the sun cast the shadow of the leaves on her, like a lace tulle over her lilac coat.In the end, he arranged a thunderstorm for her to come and go, hurrying, grinning, and dripping wet, with the thunder rolling from the horizon to the horizon, "in the light of the lightning, see The slanting raindrops and her figure in the rain. When the lightning went out, she disappeared into the boundless night... When we turned around and walked towards the courtyard, there was a singing voice amidst the sound of rain and thunder: "In the spring garden...'”
