Zhong Guoqing pulled himself together again. The trust and great trust of the villagers made him regain his confidence and courage. The joy of National Day was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the haze that had been shrouding his head in recent days. After taking over as an accountant, his confidence and excitement immediately replaced the disappointment, dejection, and even despair he had felt for many days.

On the second day after he took over as the production team's accountant, Guo Qing carried a bucket and went to the well to stir the water. He met his old classmate Zhang Shengren from junior high school. He was wearing a white denim uniform. Although the uniform was a little old, it was clean, well-shaped, and fit. It made people look so energetic. Zhang Shengren had been the envy of the National Day celebrations in recent years. Although he had not been admitted to high school after graduating from junior high school, his uncle was the chief of the county labor bureau. Without much effort, he had been arranged to work in the county machinery factory. He had been transferred to the official position and could receive a salary of 35 yuan a month. He was also carrying a bucket and standing in the crowd, enthusiastically discussing the news of Dragon City County with the villagers. When he saw Zhong Guoqing stirring the water, he shouted enthusiastically,""National Day, congratulations to you, the God of Fortune in our team!”After hearing Zhang Shengren's joke, he put down the bucket and quickly walked over to shake hands with him. He chatted happily with him.

It was not until half a month later that he learned from some well-informed people in the village the real reason why he could not become a soldier this time. At first, he had only suspected that someone from the other brigade had taken his place in the army. However, he never expected that it was Guo Zhenshan, the director of the brigade's revolutionary committee and the party branch secretary, who had caused trouble. When he heard this, his heart suddenly lit up. It turned out that the father and daughter were on the same side! Thinking of this, he immediately despised the father and daughter even more. Since you look down on me, you just have to show me your attitude! Do you think I'll still cling to you? Why did he have to resort to such despicable methods?

When Guo Qing completely understood all of this, the resentment in his heart that did not know the truth was much smaller. His mood was no longer low, and his jealousy of the two young men in the village who were about to join the army was also swept away. He was ready to send off these two partners in his own way. One was Wang Shenghu from the First Production Team, his classmate from junior high school. The other was Ren Yulong from the third production team. He was one year older than Guo Qing and was also a good friend who played with him when he was young. He bought two notebooks from the village agency and wrote: When you become a glorious soldier of the People's Liberation Army, I sincerely congratulate you! Let's work together and contribute to the party, the country, and the people in different positions. [Your friend, Zhong Guoqing.]

After dinner, Guo Qing held two notebooks in his hands. When there was no one in the alley at night, he went to their houses and solemnly gave them the notebooks.

When the storm had completely subsided, Guo Qing felt very lucky. He felt that Guo Zhuye's heartless text message had educated him with living facts and made him more clear-headed. He felt that when he officially embarked on the journey of life, Guo Zhuye had taught him a vivid lesson, and at the same time, it had injected a strong and unyielding courage into his body. From then on, Guo Zhuye seemed to have become a stranger he had never met before. Her voice, smile, and slender figure had disappeared from his mind forever.

In the eyes of outsiders, Guo Zhuye, the telephone operator of the public company, was currently enjoying a good life, and his days were happy and relaxed. In fact, the frustration, worry, and even pain in her heart were not much less than when Zhong Guoqing first returned to the village. At the moment, she was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and unbearable.

These troubles had started when she found out that she was pregnant. When she returned from Qingshan County and saw the people in the community's courtyard looking at her with those mean and mocking words, she couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat. During the day, she forced a smile and pretended that nothing had happened. However, at night, when she was alone. Her mind was in turmoil, and she felt uneasy as she washed her face with tears.

Early the next morning after she returned from Qingshan County, she was squatting on the steps at the door brushing her teeth when Ma Yongxiang pushed his bicycle over. When he passed by him, he stood for a moment, looked at her, and said softly,"My job might change. I'll be in the county for the next few days to do something, and I'll try to arrange your job. Just wait patiently. I'll call you if anything happens. Don't look for me, you won't be able to find me.”With that, he hopped onto his bicycle and left like a gust of wind.

The naive Guo Zhuye didn't know that her secret relationship with Ma Yongxiang had been discovered not long after their " first time." People often said that even sparrows would leave a shadow when they flew past. How could such a big matter hide from people's eyes? At first, the people in the community compound could tell that their relationship was not normal through some clues. However, due to their feelings, the people closed their eyes and did not expose this layer of window paper. After Guo Zhuye vomited at the kitchen door that day, she asked Ma Yongxiang for leave and went to a relative's house. Everyone could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts. Someone wrote down the matter between the two of them and soon sent it to Secretary Zhang's desk. Then, the county sent someone to talk to Ma Yongxiang and deal with the "telephone operator" properly.

After Ma Yongxiang accepted the investigation of the relevant personnel and wrote down the examination materials, he felt that he could not stay here any longer. However, he still had a conscience. He felt that he had to arrange Guo Zhuye's work problems. If she lost face because of this matter, he would be even more guilty.

Secretary Yang, the leader of the public company, knew what was going on. He instructed that the matter should be handled quietly and not publicly for the time being. He was sure that Guo Zhuye would leave the community soon. How could a young girl stay here after such a thing happened? During this period, it was best not to give her any more stimulation. Firstly, the girl was a young and ignorant victim, a sacrifice. Secondly, if the young lady were to take a short-sighted approach because of her pride, then it would be even more inappropriate.

After Ma Yongxiang quietly told Guo Zhuye about it, he left the club and went home to wait for his punishment. However, Guo Zhuye couldn't walk. She had to eat in the kitchen and walk around the courtyard under everyone's watchful eyes every day. How embarrassing would that be? After more than ten days, Guo Zhuye still hadn't received any news from Ma Yongxiang, so he was extremely anxious. Ma Yongxiang spread his legs and left, but the new job arranged for her could not be implemented. The people in the community courtyard looked at her more and more strangely and unfriendly. She wished she could grow wings immediately and fly far away! But where? She really did not know. She didn't even dare to return to her hometown, Green Pine Ridge. Therefore, she was anxious and every day felt like years.

The county's punishment for Ma Yongxiang was to remove him from his post and transfer him away from his post to see how it would work. He had left his post as the deputy director of the Xiangyang People's Commune's Revolutionary Committee and returned home to rest after giving Guo Zhuye a few instructions at the door of the central office that day. The county had not arranged a new job for him yet. He was currently being transferred, so he could only hang there. One night, he found a place with a phone and secretly called Guo Zhuye. He said that he had already arranged for her work and that she could start working in a few days. He also said that she was going to work in a factory. Or work as a salesperson at the county department store? It was up to her. Guo Zhuye didn't have the mood to choose these things. She just wanted to leave this unlucky place as soon as possible and go to a place where no one knew her. There, without the eyes of familiar people, her heart could be calmer.
