After dinner, Tian Runye went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. Xu Guoqiang went out for a walk, Xu Aiyun went to the study to read, Runsheng couldn't wait to go to the movies, and Sun Shaoping didn't leave because Tian Runye still had something to say to him.
Tian Xiaoxia poured a glass of water for her and Sun Shaoping, sat down and said with a smile,""You haven't mentioned the movie just now. Why haven't I heard of it before?”
Sun Shaoping felt a headache coming on. He thought that she had already forgotten about it. How was he supposed to explain it?
"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else."”Tian Xiaoxia was a little surprised. Did a movie have to be like this?
Out of good manners, she still said," If it's not convenient for you to tell me, you'd better not tell me. Everyone has their secrets. I'm not trying to pry into your privacy.”
Sure enough, she was a good girl. Sun Shaoping still wanted to tease her, so he deliberately said with a straight face,"Thank you. Long live your understanding."
Tian Xiaoxia was a little speechless. She blinked her beautiful big eyes. How could this person be like this? Could it be that he couldn't hear the hidden meaning behind her words? She did not intend to ask, but her curiosity scratched her like a cat's paw. Then, she raised her right hand solemnly."I swear to Leader Mao that as long as you tell me, I will never tell anyone else.”
Sun Shaoping couldn't bear to reject her cute look. He organized his words and said," I've never seen this movie before either. I've only seen the movie version of the comic book. It was shot by Hong Kong's Jiahe Film Company in 1972…"
"Ah, it was taken by a Hong Kong person!" Tian Xiaoxia was a little surprised. Hong Kong was as far away as a foreign country to her. She suddenly felt that it was impolite to interrupt others. She smiled and gently patted her mouth."I'm sorry. Please continue."
Sun Shaoping continued,"It's a martial arts movie starred by Bruce Lee.(There was no such thing as an action movie at that time.) Do you know Bruce Lee?”
Speaking of his childhood idol, Sun Shaoping was a little excited. When he was bullied when he was young, he longed to have Bruce Lee's physical skills. He could punch one person with one punch and beat the people who bullied him to the ground.
Tian Xiaoxia shook her head blankly. Sun Shaoping was somewhat frustrated that it was difficult to find a soulmate. How could she know about the closed environment in the mainland at this stage?
She collected her emotions and continued," Bruce Lee was an international martial arts superstar. He was a big star that the whole world looked up to. Unfortunately, he passed away the year before last. As for the main performance in Jingwumen, it was in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China..." Sun Shaoping's eloquence was not bad. The plot was full of ups and downs, and he even gestured from time to time. When he heard Chen Zhen stuffing the paper with the words " Sick Man of East Asia " into the mouths of Japanese people, Tian Xiaoxia was overwhelmed with emotions. When she heard that Chen Zhen was shot, she was so excited that she almost shouted slogans. Tears were rolling in her eyes.
When Tian Runye came in, both of them stopped talking, but Tian Xiaoxia's face was flushed with excitement.
Tian Runye teased," What are you talking about? You're so excited. You're embarrassed when I'm here. Why don't I go out first and come back later?"”
Tian Xiaoxia was embarrassed by his words, but she was not an ordinary woman. She retorted,"You still have some sense. You go out first and remember to close the door." She pretended to push Runye out of the door.
Tian Runye was so angry that he hit her on the back." Damn woman, you don't know shame at all..." For a moment, the two sisters played together, but Sun Shaoping was left aside, which inevitably made him a little embarrassed.
Sun Shaoping scratched his head." Sister Runye, didn't you look for me for something? It's too late and the school will be closed."”
Tian Runye then remembered the important matter and stood up."Alright, I'm just returning to the dormitory. Let's talk on the way.”
After bidding farewell to Tian Xiaoxia and Xu Aiyun, the two of them left the Revolutionary Committee compound. The sky in the north always darkened a little early. The April wind was not too cold, but the pedestrians on the road were as few as ghosts. Sun Shaoping didn't meet Tian Fujun, who was looking forward to meeting him, but he didn't regret it. After all, the two of them hadn't interacted yet. He believed that they would have the opportunity to meet in the future.
On the way, Tian Runye lowered his head and didn't know how to speak. Sun Shaoping didn't say anything either. Just like that, the two of them walked slowly. Sun Shaoping looked at the black outline of the mountain in the distance and felt a little annoyed. He didn't want Sister Runye and his brother to fall into pain. Even if he helped them get together, was that really good? Could two people with different education and different family backgrounds really live a happy life? In Sun Shaoping's opinion, no matter whether it was a marriage of "equal social status" since ancient times, it was reasonable. The reason why there were always rich daughters who liked poor boys in opera was probably because there were too few. It was so rare that everyone needed to use opera to commemorate it.
If two people wanted to live together, they must first have a common language, which required the same or similar living and working environment. However, Sun Shao 'an and Tian Runye did not have that. One was in the countryside, and the other was in the city. Even if Tian Runye gave up his job in the city and returned to Shuangshui Village to teach, how could a person who was used to living in the city adapt to the life in the countryside? This was not the countryside of the later generations. This was the countryside of the 1970s in the northwest, which represented backwardness and ignorance.
The reason why Sun Shaoping was frustrated was that he found that he couldn't change anything. Was fate destined to be irreversible? Everyone had to continue on its track. What should he do? Things would only have an end when they had a beginning. If he stopped things from happening, he wouldn't let them have a beginning. In other words, he wouldn't let Sister Runye say anything.
"Sister Runye, do you believe in fate?”Sun Shaoping's words stunned Tian Runye.
" What are you talking about? You are a typical idealist. You don't dare to talk nonsense in front of others. Leader Mao taught us..." Originally, he wanted to advise Tian Runye, but he didn't expect her to teach him first.
"Alright, Sister Runye, Leader Mao is worried about national affairs. He doesn't have time to educate me. It's better not to cause trouble for him.”Sun Shaoping waved his hand and interrupted Tian Runye's bombardment of words.
Tian Runye was also amused by his mischievous words. She combed her hair that had been blown away by the wind and said,"It's alright. During the day, I lead the Red Soldiers to catch spies. At night, I sometimes have meetings to learn the spirit of Dazhai. The students don't study, and the teachers don't teach. I don't know what they're busy with all day.”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," Isn't that good? You don't have to prepare for lessons. Have you ever thought about not being a teacher and doing something else?”
"Do something else? What else can I do if I don't become a teacher? Go back to Shuangshui Village to work?”Tian Runye didn't understand what Sun Shaoping meant.
Sun Shaoping thought for a moment and said," Then let me change the question. The furthest and largest place you can go is Huangyuan, right? You should know that Xi'an is bigger than Huangyuan, and Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are bigger than Xi'an. This is only in China. If you stay in Shuangshui Village, you can only see Shuangshui Village. If you stay in Yuanxi County, you can only know Yuanxi County. You have to learn more when you have time. For example, learn a foreign language. In case you want to go abroad in the future."”
Sun Shaoping's words seemed to have opened up a new world for Tian Runye. She didn't like her current job, and her family didn't expect her to earn this little salary. She just felt that she was decent. She could go back to school and get rid of Li Xiangqian's pestering. As for Brother Shao 'an, she would wait until she finished school.
With an idea, Tian Runye, who was in a much better mood, smiled and asked Sun Shaoping,""Then what are your plans?" Runye didn't realize that she had already treated Sun Shaoping as a peer to talk to him. She no longer looked at him like an older sister looking at a younger brother.
Sun Shaoping bent down and picked up a stone. He swung his arm and threw it into the distance. He laughed and said," What plans can I have? I'm only in my first year of high school, so it's still too early to think about these things. Let's not talk about this anymore. Since you've arrived at your school, hurry up and go in. I'm still in a hurry to go back."
Unconsciously, they had already arrived at the primary school. Tian Runye felt that the conversation with Sun Shaoping today was particularly heart-warming. It removed a big worry in her heart recently. When she said goodbye, she suddenly remembered something. She stopped Sun Shaoping and stuffed some food stamps and money into his hands. Then, she turned around and entered the school. Sun Shaoping didn't decline like his predecessor did, because he really needed these things now. He would only remember Sister Runye's kindness in his heart and repay it double in the future.
