Just as Liu Lili, Xiang Bei and others left, the New Year greeting army from De County Educated Youth Point came again.

Du Chenzhe, the leader, came to visit with five or six educated youths. One of them, a female educated youth named Hu Yiqin, pulled Tao Nanfeng and praised her like a flower.

"I have often heard our Secretary Du mention you. This time I finally met you in person. I didn't expect you to be better than what others said. Not only is he beautiful, but he is also so capable. He led everyone to build a brick house together. How can I compare with you?

, we are just the mud under the plum tree."

Du Chenzhe couldn't help laughing when he heard her exaggerated words: "Hu Yiqin, you have such a mouth... don't scare this little girl."

Tao Nanfeng pursed his lips and said nothing, only responded with a faint smile.

Hu Yiqin rolled her eyes at Du Chenzhe: "I heard that the other four educated youth sites wanted to ask Tao Zhiqing for help in building a house. I came in advance to establish a good relationship with Tao Zhiqing. This was to help Secretary Du solve problems. Didn't you also say that I have a gift?

Give it to Tao Nanfeng?"

Du Chenzhe is twenty-five, six years old, of medium height, with a gentle and steady personality, and a strong sense of veteran cadre style in his actions and speech. Today he is wearing a thick woolen coat with a pen in the upper left pocket, which is typical of the current era.

Intellectual dress.

Hearing Hu Yiqin's words, he took out a neatly folded piece of letter paper from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Tao Nanfeng: "Thank you Tao Zhiqing. This is a short poem I wrote in my spare time. Please correct me."

Tao Nanfeng stared blankly at the palm-sized rectangular letter paper in front of him, not knowing whether he should take it or not.

Pass a note?

——Tao Nanfeng had heard Tao You talk about this proudly at home before. Tao You was pretty, enthusiastic, and smart, and was liked by many boys in school. From time to time, she would receive "little" messages from boys expressing their affection.

"Note", but all of them were rejected by Tao You.

Tao Nanfeng has never received such affection. Perhaps it is because she is too beautiful and delicate, and has a cold personality. In addition, Tao You always likes to criticize Tao Nanfeng for being squeamish and cold-blooded, which makes boys afraid to get close to her. Don't

Speaking of boys, she doesn't even have female friends.

Unexpectedly, being far away from home and getting rid of the influence of Tao You and his stepmother, Tao Nanfeng would receive expressions of affection from the opposite sex here. This was the first time in his life.

Although Tao Nanfeng had no special liking for the Du Chenzhe in front of her, her straightforward attitude made her hesitate. She raised her right hand slightly, her fingertips were like orchid petals and as white as jade.

Du Chenzhe's heart beat like a drum. He came to Xiufengshan Farm after graduating from high school in 1967. The hard six years had already worn away all his energy. Tao Nanfeng was like a beam of light, illuminating his almost numb mind.

It turns out that educated youth can confront the head of the infrastructure department and lead their partners to build a house together.

It turns out that women can also work with men in cutting mountains and cutting rocks, and become deputy captains of road construction teams.

Educated youth are not weak. Educated youth can also rely on collective strength to work hard to improve their lives!

After visiting Tao Nanfeng several times and getting to know more about Tao Nanfeng, Du Chenzhe could no longer hold back his affection. Although the beautiful Tao Nanfeng looked aloof and cold, he was actually soft and kind at heart, respected the wishes of others, and never talked with others.

Argue and get along well with peers.

Du Chenzhe was once a literary young man, so he spent a few days thinking about a short poem. The educated youth in Jiangcheng protected Tao Nanfeng very well, and could not find any chance to be alone together, so he had to send poems in public. If Tao Nanfeng was willing

If you accept it, then half the battle is won.

Du Chenzhe looked calm and kind on the outside, but in fact he was extremely nervous inside. He looked down at Tao Nanfeng's hands and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being rejected by her.

Tao Nanfeng raised his fingertips slightly, but Qiao Yadong beat him to it.

He took a step across, took the letter in Du Chenzhe's hand, and said with a smile: "So Secretary Du is also a poet? I also love writing poetry, why don't we discuss it together?"

Tao Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his hand.

Du Chenzhe's face stiffened and he forced a smile: "Ah ha, it turns out that monitor Qiao also loves poetry, that's just right."

Chen Zhilu also came over: "Anything you give to Tao Nanfeng in the future must go through my hands first. I am her brother, do you understand?"

Hu Yiqin was unconvinced: "Your surname is Chen and her surname is Tao. How can they be siblings?"

Chen Zhilu laughed triumphantly: "There are a total of twenty educated youths in our Jiangcheng group. We eat, live and work together. We are like a family. Tao Nanfeng is the youngest, so naturally she is my sister."

Du Chenzhe felt uncomfortable all over, but he dared to send the note in person, so he was naturally mentally prepared to be rejected. He smiled calmly and looked at Tao Nanfeng: "It's good for everyone to read it together. I hope Tao Zhiqing likes this poem.

"

Tao Nanfeng smiled slightly, nodded and said softly: "Thank you." No matter how well the poem was written, at least thank you for this thought.

Seeing Tao Nanfeng's reaction, an alarm sounded in Qiao Yadong's mind.

Good girls are sought after by hundreds of people, and flowers in full bloom will always attract bees and butterflies. Tao Nanfeng is so good, how come he has so few suitors?

Qiao Yadong was not afraid of Liu Lili coming to show her hospitality before, but Tao Nanfeng, a virtuous man like Liu Bin, looked down upon him at all. Even if Liu Lili said she could arrange to be a nurse and give him a house in the provincial capital, he could not shake the aloof Tao Nanfeng.

But Du Chenzhe is different.

He is an educated youth from De County, with a solid foundation in Xiufengshan Farm. He has an elegant appearance and a literary heart. Look at how smart he is, and he knows how to send poems in public.

Firstly, to look magnanimous and respectful to the other party. Secondly, to test Tao Nanfeng's reaction. You can advance or retreat.

Not only that, he also brought a female educated youth to close the distance between the two parties, lowering Tao Nanfeng's vigilance, and used Hu Yiqin's words to express how much he praised Tao Nanfeng.

This Du Chenzhe can become the secretary of more than 100 educated youths in De County. He is definitely a wily man!

If Tao Nanfeng's heart can really be touched, what should I do with my thoughts of love?

Because of his mother's words, Qiao Yadong did not dare to express his feelings to Tao Nanfeng; however, he was afraid that Tao Nanfeng would be snatched away by others, so what should he do?

Qiao Yadong was filled with worries here. Chen Zhilu took the letter from his hand, unfolded it three times, five divided by two, and said unceremoniously: "Tao Nanfeng, let me help you see first, what exactly is Secretary Du's poem about?"

Sample."

Tao Nanfeng nodded.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Zhilu's hands, wondering curiously: I wonder what kind of poem Secretary Du wrote.

Poetry creation in the 1970s was a prosperous period. There were three major schools of poetry, the Baiyangdian Poetry Group, and Chinese New Realism. A large number of poetic works emerged and were circulated among students, educated youth, and educated people. Without printed matter, then there would be no

Hand-copied; if there is no hand-written copy, then it will be passed down orally.

Shizhi, a representative figure of the Misty Poetry School, is known as the "soul of educated youth poetry". His poem "Believe in the Future" was once widely circulated among the educated youth in the form of a manuscript. The opening line of the poem is passionate and profound.

"When the spider webs mercilessly blocked my stove, and when the remaining smoke of the ashes lamented the sorrow of poverty, I still stubbornly spread the ashes of disappointment and wrote with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the future."

Naturally, Tao You also loves poetry. Lin Huiyin, the goddess of architecture whom she admires, is a poet. "A poetic Qianxun Waterfall, the eternal April sky in the human world." It can be said that Du Chenzhe's move suited her temperament.

Du Chenzhe put his hands behind his back, stood with a smile, and waited for his work to be read out.

When Chen Zhilu started reading, his attitude was a little scornful, but the more he read, the more frightened he became, and his voice became louder involuntarily.

"Put your youthful dreams in your bag

The farm in Xiufeng Mountain is my distant place.

Throw the phantoms in your mind into the bamboo basket

Summer cicadas sing, that's where I work.

I am a boat drifting in the sea of ​​suffering

Pushed forward by the cold wind

The sun disappears on the horizon

I don't know where I will go.

…

The fragrance of golden wheat ears

Weaving a harvest scene

You are the light, you are all hope

No matter how dark the night is, you can still sail into the happy harbor."

Everyone fell silent. At this moment, all language seemed pale, and thoughts found resonance in this poem.

The educated youth came to this farm far away from home, leaving behind their pens and textbooks to go to the mountains and countryside. How could they not be confused? However, this poem is not immersed in decadence and depicts a future full of hope.

This is the charm of Misty Poetry. The word "love" is not mentioned in the whole poem, but no word of "love" is left. Who is the light? Who is all the hope? Who leads the boat into the happy harbor?

Tao Nanfeng didn't know what she should say. Although she didn't love Du Chenzhe, his poems gave her a great shock. Her whole body seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move. There was a strong emotion surging in her chest.

That was deeply touching.

This is the charm of poetry.

Qiao Yadong also stood there, unable to speak a word. He knew poetry and loved poetry, but he could not write such a poem. Du Chenzhe stayed at Xiufengshan Farm for six years and experienced countless hardships and hardships, as mentioned in the poem.

Writing "I am a small boat drifting in the sea of ​​suffering" makes him heartbroken just thinking about it.

Ye Qin suddenly hit his hands together and made a "pop!" sound, "Secretary Du, have you ever thought about submitting a manuscript? Your poem is beautiful and full of emotion, so why not submit it to Jiangcheng's "Poetry Society" magazine!"

Du Chenzhe smiled slightly and looked at Tao Nanfeng: "How about I give this poem to you?"

Tao Nanfeng calmed down and shook his head: "A gentleman does not take away what others like."

Qiao Yadong also reacted. He took the grid paper with the poem written on it from Chen Zhilu, looked at the beautiful pen calligraphy on the paper, and praised it first: "Secretary Du's poem that flows from the bottom of his heart is indeed true and touching."

After that, he folded the plaid letter paper and solemnly put it back into Du Chenzhe's hand: "You shouldn't give such a beautiful work to anyone. Submit it. You should let more people see it."

Everyone's praise made Du Chenzhe feel like he was drinking fine wine and didn't know where he was. He originally wanted to express his feelings to Tao Nanfeng through poetry, but now his mind has completely turned to submitting the article.

"Do you really think this poem is good? If you submit it...will it be published?"

Ye Qin stood up and said: "If you believe me, I will help you vote for it when the snow melts on the road. My brother works at the "Poetry Society" magazine, and I will send it to him directly."

Du Chenzhe listened with excitement, looked at Ye Qin with the cute short hair in front of him, and excitedly handed the letter into her hand: "Believe, believe! We are all educated youths, how could I not believe you? Then my little poem

I’ll leave it here for you first, and remember to let me know when you send it out.”

When the representatives of the educated youth from Jiangde County were sent away, Chen Zhilu and Qiao Yadong looked at each other, smiled, raised their hands and gave them a high-five.
