This village was not considered beautiful, but it had its own unique ethnic flavor. Ru Xian had some expectations for such a new life. She shuttled back and forth in the mud with her back facing the sky every day, but she was filled with satisfaction when she saw the seeds she sowed germinate and bloom.
After all, she was a thin girl. Gradually, she felt pain all over her body. A large amount of physical labor made her feel more and more unbearable. One could imagine what it would be like for a girl who grew up in the care of her mother and brothers to suffer in the countryside. She could not help but miss her hometown, her mother, and her brother. However, she did not dare to mention it in the letter. She was afraid that her mother would cry because she was worried about her. Therefore, when night fell, Ru Xian fell asleep with tears in her eyes.
That day, Ru Xian dragged her numb body and carried a hoe to the fields. She didn't know why, but as she walked, she felt that the sun was so hot that her scalp was about to explode. Her face turned from red to blood red, and slowly…green…purple…until she lost consciousness.
At this moment, a young man shouted,"" Quick, save her…Someone fainted…Which team is she from…" In a blurry state, Ru Xian could vaguely hear the people in the room talking about her.
"This child is from Qing…I just don't know which team he's from…"
"Are you from the city?"
"They all look alike. She has soft skin and tender flesh…I don't know which team she's from either…"
"Xiangzi, take her to your house to rest first. She probably has a heatstroke. Right now, they could only wait until they found their captain.”
I heard that someone fainted in Xiang's house, and it was a girl. Not long after, the door, the house, and the outside were filled with people, and they were all talking.
"City people are so delicate and can't bear hardship.”
"That's right. Do you think everyone is like you? Even eight bulls can't pull you."
At this moment, the familiar voice snorted softly in the room again."Don't disturb her rest. It's not easy for a girl who has left her hometown. All of you, get out, get out…"
After Ru Xian woke up, her seventh aunt and eighth aunt began to describe to her how the soldier who had returned home to visit her family had saved her.
"You have to thank that soldier. Hong Xiang. He's a big family in our village and he's quite good-looking. Although she was a little tanned, she was still considered pretty. It is said that before the liberation, our entire tea mountain belonged to their family; Later, the government took it back." A local granny who was responsible for taking care of Ru Xian said.
"He is now a soldier in the army. It is said that he will be a police officer in the railway bureau in the future, catching bad guys!”The old lady said to herself. She didn't think she was talking too much.
[Duan Hongxiang] didn't forget about the girl he accidentally saved when he returned home. Maybe he should go and confirm if she was really okay.
The next day, Ru Xian got out of bed and went back to work. At noon, she returned to the dormitory and saw a bowl of beef bone soup and hot food on the table. She ran out of the door but was nowhere to be seen."Who sent this?"
Giving special treatment was strictly forbidden in a large group. In the end, that person was also out of concern for him, right? How could he waste such a good intention? Ru Xian struggled internally for a long time before she finished the table of food in a flash. "No matter who it is, you must thank him properly!”
In the evening, Ru Xian suddenly felt dizzy." Captain, my head is spinning. Can I leave work early today?"”
The captain nodded and watched Ru Xian leave with her hoe.
"Stop!" Ru Xian took a detour and blocked the man's way from the side door." Did you send the things in the room?"”
"Your body is weak and you need to replenish your strength and nutrition.”Xiang nervously explained," Your body, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you're working in the fields. You won't be able to take it.”
Ru Xian paused." Thank you, but it's against the rules to give special treatment. You'll be punished."”
[Duan Hongxiang] prepared her words: "I gave you these things. You didn't cook them yourself. It's not considered giving me a special treat!”
Xiang was worried about her, so he kept an eye on Yu Xian from time to time. He didn't expect her to return to work the next day, so he secretly followed her. In the beginning, he only watched from afar, but later on, it developed into sending her soup and food. Why? He might not understand it himself…
[Duan Hongxiang]'s warm care and meticulous care made Ru Xian, who was in a foreign land, feel extremely close. Unconsciously, she began to rely on, trust, and look forward to his appearance.
"I'll be assigned to a rank next month. At that time, I'll apply to be assigned to the train from Kunming to Chongqing.”Xiang told Ru Xian about his work.
Half a month of vacation was almost over.
It was dusk, by the Butterfly Spring…
"Ruxian, why did you come to such a poor and remote village?”
She smiled." Isn't Mi here too?”
"I was born here." He grinned foolishly.
"Don't you love your homeland?" Her eyes were filled with doubt.
"No!" He stood up, shook the corner of his clothes, and then said sincerely,""I love my hometown. Although it's not rich, it's very beautiful, so I believe that it will become rich and powerful in the future.”As he said this, Xiang's eyes shone.
"I believe you too, because the people here are so kind and honest, and they are always so confident. Mi is also very confident." She smiled again. The reflection of the spring water and the sunset was so beautiful…
Xiang gave Ruxian a pair of white jade phoenixes that he had carried with him for many years. Although Ruxian was not a local, he had heard that if a boy of his tribe gave a girl a gift, it was to express his love. If a girl accepted the gift, it meant that she had accepted the other party's token of love. Ru Xian looked at the flawless phoenix in Xiang's hand and accepted their future shyly.
"Xiang, from now on, you will be the person I cherish the most. You and I will be like phoenixes and phoenixes, never to be separated.”Ru Xian's fair face flushed red.
Xiang grabbed her hand and said seriously,"I couldn't be separated from you for a long time. Even if I followed the train to another city, my heart would still be by your side.”
In the 1980s, things like love and relationships were like things with wings flying everywhere. Their relationship quickly spread throughout the entire village. It was after Xiangzi returned to the army that Yuxian realized that people always looked at her differently. It made her feel very uncomfortable. Those women were always whispering to each other. Those girls always avoided her as if she was a fly…
"I heard that the Duan family has very high standards. Many families have come to propose marriage but were rejected!”A woman.
"Yeah, I don't know what tricks she used, but it's said that they always meet in the middle of the night!"”
"Right?!" Right? I've heard people say that too. Someone saw them holding hands…"
Such discussions and speculations made Ru Xian feel very depressed. She lit an oil lamp and wrote a letter to Xiangzi with tears all over her face. He briefly mentioned the changes around him. Although others did not say it in front of him, he always felt like others were poking at his spine when he walked. He thought about how he had left his mother for more than a year. He didn't know if she was in good health. He heard that in October 1978, a national conference on educated youths was held in Beijing. The conference lasted for 42 days. Later, there were protests and hunger strikes from educated youths all over the country.
She thought that it was time to return to Qing.
Xiangzi's self-blame and guilt were born after reading the letter. He was a man and should protect the woman he loved. In his reply to Ru Xian, he only wrote a poem by Li Shangyin:
Last night's stars, last night's wind, west of the painting building, east of the osmanthus hall.
There are no colorful phoenix wings on the body, and the heart is connected with one point.
Sitting next to each other to send hook spring wine warm, sub-Cao shooting wax lamp red.
Alas, I listen to the drum to respond to the official to go, go to Malan Taiwan like a turquoise canopy.
Wait for my return.
Your sh * t.
