Chapter 26: Last Night's Stars and Last Night's Wind
Lu Li originally thought that with his years of experience in working in the countryside, it would only take a year for formally putting down such a job, and picking it up again should not be a difficult task, but the fact taught him a serious lesson! By the time the sunlight began to shine on his head in the morning, Lu Li's short hair was covered with crystal beads of sweat. The sickle that was originally easy to operate in his hands was as heavy as a pound, and the palms of his hands were wet and greasy. It turned out that the smooth and white palms began to turn red and blister. Once he tried hard, it hurt. He murmured in his heart. It was only a year, so why did he retreat so much? It was even harder than the first time he did it back then?
"Xiaoxiao, how about you? Are you tired?"
"Fortunately, uncle," Luli panted like a broken bellows, and his chest and abdomen were undulating violently. "How are you...? If you are tired, take a rest."
"Uncle is fine. The work in this field cannot be put aside. Just like me, the branch secretary has done it for so many years and walk into the field. Hey! I haven't gotten up for three days!"
Luli felt a little tired, nodded listlessly and asked, "Is that true?"
"Isn't that true? Do you know that last year, if it weren't for you, I would have been so terrible! Later, the boy from Lao Chu and his family asked me who was the boy in the city who helped collect corn? When I talked to them, they all had nothing to say! Xiaoxiao, if you want to say, we guys are still in love! The merchant Lin, Dong'angezhuang has come and left so many educated youth, and they can still think about coming back to see, not to mention helping with farm work."
"I'm young and have nothing to do in the city. Most of the others may work in factories and are very careful, unlike me. I can come out as soon as I think about it. In fact, when it comes to their feelings for the place where they settle in the country, they may not be much worse than me."
Shang Kangji smiled and said nothing, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, our boss will be back in September this year. Don't run away this year. If you want to come, just drink and chat with your uncle! OK?"
"What, my brother has been demobilized? Then, are you planning to come back here directly?"
"What else can we do? We are just a rural person who can only eat food from the soil? It's great to let the boy go out to see the world, come back and marry him a wife, and live a stable life." Shang Kangri sighed and said, "Although he is not my biological child, he has done this kind of thing for him. He will be worthy of his mother in the future."
Luli thought for a while, stopped talking, bent down again, and waved his sickle.
After the summer grain harvest in the morning, he forced himself to take the initiative and followed Shang Kangji into the adobe house, throwing his body, which was almost exhausted, onto the kang. In less than a moment, he fell asleep.
After awaking, it was drizzling. Luli turned over and sat up. Looking at the clock in the room, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He hurriedly got off the floor and put on his shoes and rushed towards the wheat field.
Shang Kangji had already cut off a long way. He heard the sound behind him and looked back. He smiled with a yellow teeth, "Xiaoxiao, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I didn't call you. Let's rest. Uncle can do it alone." Lu Li shook his head, and did not talk to him much, waved his sickle and started moving quickly.
This time, we worked until eight o'clock in the evening. The sky was already dark. The young and old walked on the path home in the stars. "Little,..." Shang Kangri was also so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. He beat his back with his back hand and his steps were heavy. "Uncle back then...oh, I'm sorry for you."
"Uncle, why are you talking about these things? We men have been doing for so many years, and who doesn't know who? You...yes, you may have done something wrong, so what's wrong? I disobeyed the commune's orders and went to the river to catch fish. What's this?"
"Uncle may be old, so I'm telling you all this. I just want to talk to you about my thoughts. One day, if Uncle is gone..."
"What are you talking about? How old are you? I remember you were born in 31 years old, right? You are only 50 years old this year, and your life will be long. We both have to get along in the future! By the way, uncle, I forgot to tell you that I'm having a partner."
Shang was excited about anti-Japanese spirit, "Is that right? Or the girl who came here?"
"No, it's another one, my elementary school classmate, and now I'm in college."
"It's amazing! Little bastard, did he get a college student? Or a primary school classmate? What are you calling this... come?"
"Children's childhood sweetheart." Lu Li said with a smile: "Uncle, take good care of your body. One day, we two get married and have children, you are still his grandfather!"
Shang Kangji laughed and patted his back heavily, "Xiaoxiao, good boy! Uncle just knows that it's not in vain to love you! It's a good material. Let's go quickly, let's take a break after dinner, and I'll have to go to the floor tomorrow!"
Lu Li stayed in Angezhuang for half a month, which was considered to have relived his life in the lineup. When he helped Shang anti-Japanese harvest all the wheat in the fields, threshed and returned to the warehouse, it was time for him to give him a reward. "Xiaoxiao... are you still here this year?" The old man asked with a trembling cry in his dim eyes: "Didn't you tell you to come and help with the work, uncle... want to talk to you!"
Lu Li's nose felt sore, he nodded with a forced smile, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, as long as I don't leave Tianjin City, I will definitely come! At that time, we will get together well - the weather will not be so hot by then. I'll invite you to the county and have a good meal!"
"Hey, hey!"
After saying goodbye to Shang Anti-Japanese War, Lu Li boarded the train to Beijing (Beijing). After a short time, he walked out of Beijing (Beijing) Station. He had been here, but unlike the last time, this time he had to go to the United Front Work Department to find Zhu Jiahua, who had not seen for many days. The only thing he knew about the United Front Work Department was that this was a national functional organ, and he had no idea where it was located in Beijing (Beijing).
Looking around, there are a lot of passenger flows in and out of the square in front of the station. Beijing is really worthy of being the capital of China. Even in 1980, when the economy was very underdeveloped, people who traveled to and from here for meetings, negotiations, visit relatives, and friends still brought considerable prosperity to this ancient capital with a history of nearly a thousand years. Compared with it, Tianjin is too far behind!
Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to go to Peking University first, wait for Liang Xin to find him and let him take him there. After all, this is a place for him to study and fight. When it comes to the local geography of Beijing (Beijing), he should be much more familiar with it.
I took the bus all the way to Peking University and found the teaching building and dormitory of the Department of Philosophy. Liang Xin was not there. Asked his classmates and roommates, the reply was: "Liang Xin, it seems that he has gone out with Xiaobai. Did he go to the Summer Palace?"
"noob?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm his friend."
"Oh." The classmate is much older than Luli. It is obvious that he was admitted to the independent examination after the university resumed admissions. "Xiaobai is a female classmate in our department. By the way, it seems that she is from you in Tianjin!"
Lu Li recalled it and seemed to have some impression. During the Chinese New Year last year, Liang Xin returned to Tianjin and once said that she had a female classmate from Tianjin. At that time, she said she wanted to take her to Binjiang Road and let him see it. Later, when Liang Jinxiu was sick, she let it go. Thinking of this, Lu Li smiled: It seems that this little guy is his target? The little brat actually keeps it secret with him. When I see him back, I have to examine him carefully!
He asked this classmate for paper and pen and wrote a letter to Liang Xin. He pressed under his pillow, turned his head out of the dormitory building, stood downstairs, looked at the direction, and walked out of the university gate. Seeing that the tall main entrance of Beijing University was not far away, a woman's call suddenly came from beside him. "Lu Li?"
Lu Li turned around suddenly, and two smile patterns exploded on Qingyu's face, "Zhao Min?"
The two of them have disappeared for nearly half a year. Compared to the day on Binjiang Road, her skin looks whiter and delicate. The curly bangs on her forehead cover her unique adze head, and she is staring at him without blinking. She looks in surprise. "You..." She stepped forward a few steps and stopped again, "Why are you here? Or are you back from Yangcheng?"
"Xiao Zhao, who is this?"
Only then did Lu Li notice that there was a boy standing beside Zhao Min, who looked very quiet and had fair skin, although not as white as Zhao Min, but he was better than himself. The man was obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhao Min and Lu Li’s enthusiasm, frowned and stared at the girl, "Oh, Lu Li, I will introduce you to me, this is my classmate, Yang Haoyi. Xiao Yang, this is Lu Li, I am a junior high school classmate in Tianjin."
Lu Li winked at Zhao Min, whose jade face was slightly red, but he didn't say anything, so he understood that he was not wrong, "Hello, my name is Lu Li."
Yang Haoyi shook hands with him coldly, and intuition did not like the man in front of him! "That..."
Zhao Min noticed his misogynistic behavior and immediately said, "Xiao Yang, go back, I will say a few words to my old classmate."
Yang Haoyi was still a little reluctant, and couldn't resist the girl's glaring, and immediately turned around obediently and walked into the depths of the campus alone, "Zhao Min, can you?" Lu Li smiled and joked, "I'm obedient enough, I'm almost catching up with my second sister."
Zhao Min glared at him fiercely, and suddenly burst into laughter, "You, you're all stuttering now, you're so poor again! Tell me, what are you doing when you come to Beijing this time?"
Luli explained from the beginning and finally said, "Now it seems that everyone is old, right?"
"Isn't it? Do you think it's the child of the past? By the way, Liang Xin is so good now. I heard that the department intends to develop him into the party and is also preparing to stay in school after graduation. I saw him once in school last week, and he was walking with both feet like wind, and I don't know what he was busy with."
"So, what is his attitude?"
"What...attitude?"
"I mean, staying at school?"
"I didn't have time to ask, but I heard that he did not give a specific reply, saying that he wanted to go home and ask his family's opinions." Zhao Min said with a smile: "Actually, I think this is all redundant. How good is it to stay at Peking University to teach? Do you know what a rare opportunity this is? How many people think they can't get it."
Luli was silent and didn't say anything. "By the way, are you going to the United Front Work Department, right? I'll take you there."
"It's almost time to eat. Don't run away. Tell me the address and I'll find it myself."
"How can you do it? You have never been to Beijing (Beijing), and you are not familiar with the environment here. You don't know how many ways to take the bus. I'll take you there."
"You are very familiar with this place now? Is it so geographically that I have created with Xiao Yang every day?"
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and did not take on such a topic, "Let's go, let's take a bus together." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
